nasb@Genesis:2:5 @Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.

nasb@Genesis:2:7 @Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

nasb@Genesis:2:9 @Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

nasb@Genesis:2:10 @Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.

nasb@Genesis:2:17 @but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."

nasb@Genesis:2:18 @Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

nasb@Genesis:2:20 @The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

nasb@Genesis:2:23 @The man said, " This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man."

nasb@Genesis:2:25 @And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

nasb@Genesis:3:1 @Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?"

nasb@Genesis:3:3 @but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'"

nasb@Genesis:3:4 @The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die!

nasb@Genesis:3:5" @For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

nasb@Genesis:3:11 @And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?"

nasb@Genesis:3:17 @Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.

nasb@Genesis:3:20 @Now the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.

nasb@Genesis:3:22 @Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--

nasb@Genesis:4:1 @Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD."

nasb@Genesis:4:5 @but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell.

nasb@Genesis:4:7" @ If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it."

nasb@Genesis:4:9 @Then the LORD said to Cain, " Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

nasb@Genesis:4:11" @Now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

nasb@Genesis:4:12" @ When you cultivate the ground, it will no longer yield its strength to you; you will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:4:15 @So the LORD said to him, "Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD appointed a sign for Cain, so that no one finding him would slay him.

nasb@Genesis:4:16 @Then Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

nasb@Genesis:4:17 @Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

nasb@Genesis:4:18 @Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

nasb@Genesis:4:25 @Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, "God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him."

nasb@Genesis:4:26 @To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:5:6 @Seth lived one hundred and five years, and became the father of Enosh.

nasb@Genesis:5:7 @Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:9 @Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan.

nasb@Genesis:5:10 @Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:11 @So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died.

nasb@Genesis:5:18 @Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch.

nasb@Genesis:5:19 @Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:21 @Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah.

nasb@Genesis:5:22 @Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:23 @So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

nasb@Genesis:5:24 @Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

nasb@Genesis:5:29 @Now he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the LORD has cursed."

nasb@Genesis:5:30 @Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:32 @Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

nasb@Genesis:6:1 @Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

nasb@Genesis:6:3 @Then the LORD said, " My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."

nasb@Genesis:6:4 @The Nephilim were 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.

nasb@Genesis:6:8 @But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:6:9 @These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.

nasb@Genesis:6:10 @Noah became the father of three sons- Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

nasb@Genesis:6:11 @Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and the earth was filled with violence.

nasb@Genesis:6:13 @Then God said to Noah, " The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

nasb@Genesis:6:22 @Thus Noah did; according to all that God had commanded him, so he did.

nasb@Genesis:6:7 @Then the LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time.

nasb@Genesis:6:2" @You shall take with you of every clean animal by sevens, a male and his female; and of the animals that are not clean two, a male and his female;

nasb@Genesis:6:5 @Noah did according to all that the LORD had commanded him.

nasb@Genesis:6:6 @Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.

nasb@Genesis:6:7 @Then Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him entered the ark because of the water of the flood.

nasb@Genesis:6:8 @Of clean animals and animals that are not clean and birds and everything that creeps on the ground,

nasb@Genesis:6:9 @there went into the ark to Noah by twos, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

nasb@Genesis:6:11 @In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

nasb@Genesis:6:13 @On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

nasb@Genesis:6:15 @So they went into the ark to Noah, by twos of all flesh in which was the breath of life.

nasb@Genesis:6:22 @of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

nasb@Genesis:6:23 @Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.

nasb@Genesis:7:1 @But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

nasb@Genesis:7:6 @Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;

nasb@Genesis:7:9 @but the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and brought her into the ark to himself.

nasb@Genesis:7:10 @So he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark.

nasb@Genesis:7:11 @The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:12 @Then he waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; but she did not return to him again.

nasb@Genesis:7:13 @Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up.

nasb@Genesis:7:15 @Then God spoke to Noah, saying,

nasb@Genesis:7:18 @So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.

nasb@Genesis:7:20 @Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

nasb@Genesis:7:22" @While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease."

nasb@Genesis:7:9 @And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:4" @Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

nasb@Genesis:7:8 @Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

nasb@Genesis:7:9" @Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you;

nasb@Genesis:7:17 @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."

nasb@Genesis:7:18 @Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.

nasb@Genesis:7:19 @These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated.

nasb@Genesis:7:20 @Then Noah began farming and planted a vineyard.

nasb@Genesis:7:23 @But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.

nasb@Genesis:7:24 @When Noah awoke from his wine, he knew what his youngest son had done to him.

nasb@Genesis:7:28 @Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood.

nasb@Genesis:7:29 @So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.

nasb@Genesis:8:1 @Now these are the records of the generations of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah; and sons were born to them after the flood.

nasb@Genesis:8:8 @Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.

nasb@Genesis:8:30 @Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.

nasb@Genesis:8:32 @These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogies, by their nations; and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.

nasb@Genesis:9:1 @Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.

nasb@Genesis:9:3 @They said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly." And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

nasb@Genesis:9:6 @The LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.

nasb@Genesis:9:7" @Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech."

nasb@Genesis:9:27 @Now these are the records of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran; and Haran became the father of Lot.

nasb@Genesis:9:30 @Sarai was barren; she had no child.

nasb@Genesis:10:1 @Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you;

nasb@Genesis:10:4 @So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

nasb@Genesis:10:6 @Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land.

nasb@Genesis:10:10 @Now there was a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.

nasb@Genesis:10:11 @It came about when he came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman;

nasb@Genesis:10:18 @Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, " What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

nasb@Genesis:10:19" @Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her and go."

nasb@Genesis:11:2 @Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold.

nasb@Genesis:11:5 @Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

nasb@Genesis:11:6 @And the land could not sustain them while dwelling together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to remain together.

nasb@Genesis:11:7 @And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.

nasb@Genesis:11:8 @So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers.

nasb@Genesis:11:9" @Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then I will go to the left."

nasb@Genesis:11:13 @Now the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly and sinners against the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:11:14 @The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, " Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;

nasb@Genesis:12:10 @Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell into them. But those who survived fled to the hill country.

nasb@Genesis:12:13 @Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram.

nasb@Genesis:12:15 @He divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

nasb@Genesis:12:18 @And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High.

nasb@Genesis:12:23 @that I will not take a thread or a sandal thong or anything that is yours, for fear you would say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

nasb@Genesis:12:24" @I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share."

nasb@Genesis:13:1 @After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, " Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great."

nasb@Genesis:13:3 @And Abram said, "Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir."

nasb@Genesis:13:4 @Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir."

nasb@Genesis:13:5 @And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, " So shall your descendants be."

nasb@Genesis:13:8 @He said, "O Lord GOD, how may I know that I will possess it?"

nasb@Genesis:13:10 @Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, and laid each half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds.

nasb@Genesis:13:12 @Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.

nasb@Genesis:13:13 @God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.

nasb@Genesis:13:16" @Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete."

nasb@Genesis:14:1 @Now Sarai, Abram's wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.

nasb@Genesis:14:2 @So Sarai said to Abram, "Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

nasb@Genesis:14:7 @Now the angel of the LORD found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

nasb@Genesis:14:17 @Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless.

nasb@Genesis:14:5" @No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

nasb@Genesis:14:9 @God said further to Abraham, "Now as for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

nasb@Genesis:14:12" @And every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your descendants.

nasb@Genesis:14:14" @But an uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant."

nasb@Genesis:14:15 @Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

nasb@Genesis:14:19 @But God said, "No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

nasb@Genesis:14:24 @Now Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

nasb@Genesis:15:1 @Now the LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day.

nasb@Genesis:15:3 @and said, "My Lord, if now I have found favor in Your sight, please do not pass Your servant by.

nasb@Genesis:15:11 @Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing.

nasb@Genesis:15:15 @Sarah denied it however, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. And He said, "No, but you did laugh."

nasb@Genesis:15:21" @I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know."

nasb@Genesis:15:24" @Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will You indeed sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who are in it?

nasb@Genesis:15:25" @Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal justly?"

nasb@Genesis:15:27 @And Abraham replied, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord, although I am but dust and ashes.

nasb@Genesis:15:28" @Suppose the fifty righteous are lacking five, will You destroy the whole city because of five?" And He said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there."

nasb@Genesis:15:29 @He spoke to Him yet again and said, "Suppose forty are found there?" And He said, "I will not do it on account of the forty."

nasb@Genesis:15:30 @Then he said, "Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak; suppose thirty are found there?" And He said, "I will not do it if I find thirty there."

nasb@Genesis:15:31 @And he said, "Now behold, I have ventured to speak to the Lord; suppose twenty are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the twenty."

nasb@Genesis:15:32 @Then he said, " Oh may the Lord not be angry, and I shall speak only this once; suppose ten are found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it on account of the ten."

nasb@Genesis:16:1 @Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.

nasb@Genesis:16:2 @And he said, "Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant's house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way." They said however, "No, but we shall spend the night in the square."

nasb@Genesis:16:7 @and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.

nasb@Genesis:16:8" @Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof."

nasb@Genesis:16:9 @But they said, "Stand aside." Furthermore, they said, "This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them." So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door.

nasb@Genesis:16:17 @When they had brought them outside, one said, " Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away."

nasb@Genesis:16:18 @But Lot said to them, "Oh no, my lords!

nasb@Genesis:16:19" @Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die;

nasb@Genesis:16:20 @now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) that my life may be saved."

nasb@Genesis:16:21 @He said to him, "Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken.

nasb@Genesis:16:22" @Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar.

nasb@Genesis:16:27 @Now Abraham arose early in the morning and went to the place where he had stood before the LORD;

nasb@Genesis:16:31 @Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth.

nasb@Genesis:16:33 @So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

nasb@Genesis:16:35 @So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

nasb@Genesis:17:1 @Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in Gerar.

nasb@Genesis:17:4 @Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a nation, even though blameless?

nasb@Genesis:17:5" @Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this."

nasb@Genesis:17:6 @Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

nasb@Genesis:17:7" @Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours."

nasb@Genesis:17:9 @Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."

nasb@Genesis:17:11 @Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

nasb@Genesis:17:12" @Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife;

nasb@Genesis:18:1 @Then the LORD took note of Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had promised.

nasb@Genesis:18:5 @Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

nasb@Genesis:18:9 @Now Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

nasb@Genesis:18:10 @Therefore she said to Abraham, " Drive out this maid and her son, for the son of this maid shall not be an heir with my son Isaac."

nasb@Genesis:18:12 @But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the lad and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.

nasb@Genesis:18:16 @Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, "Do not let me see the boy die." And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice and wept.

nasb@Genesis:18:17 @God heard the lad crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

nasb@Genesis:18:22 @Now it came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, " God is with you in all that you do;

nasb@Genesis:18:23 @now therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall show to me and to the land in which you have sojourned."

nasb@Genesis:18:26 @And Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it until today."

nasb@Genesis:19:1 @Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, " Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

nasb@Genesis:19:2 @He said, "Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you."

nasb@Genesis:19:12 @He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."

nasb@Genesis:19:16 @and said, " By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,

nasb@Genesis:19:20 @Now it came about after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor-

nasb@Genesis:20:1 @Now Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.

nasb@Genesis:20:6" @Hear us, my lord, you are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our graves; none of us will refuse you his grave for burying your dead."

nasb@Genesis:20:10 @Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth; even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying,

nasb@Genesis:20:11" @No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead."

nasb@Genesis:21:1 @Now Abraham was old, advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in every way.

nasb@Genesis:21:3 @and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live,

nasb@Genesis:21:5 @The servant said to him, "Suppose the woman is not willing to follow me to this land; should I take your son back to the land from where you came?"

nasb@Genesis:21:6 @Then Abraham said to him, " Beware that you do not take my son back there!

nasb@Genesis:21:8" @But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this my oath; only do not take my son back there."

nasb@Genesis:21:14 @now may it be that the girl to whom I say, 'Please let down your jar so that I may drink,' and who answers, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also'--may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master."

nasb@Genesis:21:16 @The girl was very beautiful, a virgin, and no man had had relations with her; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.

nasb@Genesis:21:19 @Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw also for your camels until they have finished drinking."

nasb@Genesis:21:21 @Meanwhile, the man was gazing at her in silence, to know whether the LORD had made his journey successful or not.

nasb@Genesis:21:27 @He said, " Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His lovingkindness and His truth toward my master; as for me, the LORD has guided me in the way to the house of my master's brothers."

nasb@Genesis:21:29 @Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran outside to the man at the spring.

nasb@Genesis:21:33 @But when food was set before him to eat, he said, "I will not eat until I have told my business." And he said, "Speak on."

nasb@Genesis:21:36" @Now Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master in her old age, and he has given him all that he has.

nasb@Genesis:21:37" @ 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 live;

nasb@Genesis:21:39" @ I said to my master, 'Suppose the woman does not follow me.'

nasb@Genesis:21:41 @then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'

nasb@Genesis:21:42" @So I came today to the spring, and said, 'O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now You will make my journey on which I go successful;

nasb@Genesis:21:47" @ Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him'; and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her wrists.

nasb@Genesis:21:49" @So now if you are going to deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, let me know, that I may turn to the right hand or the left."

nasb@Genesis:21:50 @Then Laban and Bethuel replied, " The matter comes from the LORD; so we cannot speak to you bad or good.

nasb@Genesis:21:56 @He said to them, "Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master."

nasb@Genesis:21:62 @Now Isaac had come from going to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the Negev.

nasb@Genesis:22:1 @Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

nasb@Genesis:22:4 @The sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

nasb@Genesis:22:5 @Now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;

nasb@Genesis:22:12 @Now these are the records of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham;

nasb@Genesis:22:19 @Now these are the records of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son- Abraham became the father of Isaac;

nasb@Genesis:22:25 @Now the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau.

nasb@Genesis:22:28 @Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

nasb@Genesis:23:1 @Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines.

nasb@Genesis:23:2 @The LORD appeared to him and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; stay in the land of which I shall tell you.

nasb@Genesis:23:12 @Now Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

nasb@Genesis:23:15 @Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with earth.

nasb@Genesis:23:21 @Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah.

nasb@Genesis:23:22 @He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, " At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."

nasb@Genesis:23:24 @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 the sake of My servant Abraham."

nasb@Genesis:23:28 @They said, "We see plainly that the LORD has been with you; so we said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between you and us, and let us make a covenant with you,

nasb@Genesis:23:29 @that you will do us no harm, just as we have not touched you and have done to you nothing but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD.'"

nasb@Genesis:23:32 @Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac's servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."

nasb@Genesis:24:1 @Now it came about, when Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son." And he said to him, "Here I am."

nasb@Genesis:24:2 @Isaac said, "Behold now, I am old and I do not know the day of my death.

nasb@Genesis:24:3" @Now then, please take your gear, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me;

nasb@Genesis:24:8" @Now therefore, my son, listen to me as I command you.

nasb@Genesis:24:9" @Go now to the flock and bring me two choice young goats from there, that I may prepare them as a savory dish for your father, such as he loves.

nasb@Genesis:24:12" @ Perhaps my father will feel me, then I will be as a deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing."

nasb@Genesis:24:21 @Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come close, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."

nasb@Genesis:24:23 @He did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.

nasb@Genesis:24:28 @Now may God give you of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And an abundance of grain and new wine;

nasb@Genesis:24:30 @Now it came about, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had hardly gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

nasb@Genesis:24:36 @Then he said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob, for he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." And he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

nasb@Genesis:24:37 @But Isaac replied to Esau, "Behold, I have made him your master, and all his relatives I have given to him as servants; and with grain and new wine I have sustained him. Now as for you then, what can I do, my son?"

nasb@Genesis:24:42 @Now when the words of her elder son Esau were reported to Rebekah, she sent and called her younger son Jacob, and said to him, "Behold your brother Esau is consoling himself concerning you by planning to kill you.

nasb@Genesis:24:43" @Now therefore, my son, obey my voice, and arise, flee to Haran, to my brother Laban!

nasb@Genesis:24:28 @So Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged him, and said to him, " You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

nasb@Genesis:24:6 @Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take to himself a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he charged him, saying, " You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,"

nasb@Genesis:24:14" @Your descendants will also be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and in you and in your descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

nasb@Genesis:24:15" @Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."

nasb@Genesis:24:16 @Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, " Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it."

nasb@Genesis:24:17 @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."

nasb@Genesis:25:2 @He looked, and saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, for from that well they watered the flocks. Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large.

nasb@Genesis:25:5 @He said to them, "Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?" And they said, "We know him."

nasb@Genesis:25:7 @He said, "Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."

nasb@Genesis:25:8 @But they said, "We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep."

nasb@Genesis:25:15 @Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"

nasb@Genesis:25:16 @Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

nasb@Genesis:25:18 @Now Jacob loved Rachel, so he said, " I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."

nasb@Genesis:25:19 @Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me."

nasb@Genesis:25:23 @Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in to her.

nasb@Genesis:25:25 @So it came about 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 with you? Why then have you deceived me?"

nasb@Genesis:25:26 @But Laban said, "It is not the practice in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn.

nasb@Genesis:25:27" @Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me for another seven years."

nasb@Genesis:25:30 @So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for another seven years.

nasb@Genesis:25:31 @Now the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

nasb@Genesis:25:32 @Leah conceived and bore a son and named him Reuben, for she said, "Because the LORD has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."

nasb@Genesis:25:34 @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 he was named Levi.

nasb@Genesis:26:1 @Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, " Give me children, or else I die."

nasb@Genesis:26:14 @Now in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went 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."

nasb@Genesis:26:20 @Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good gift; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.

nasb@Genesis:26:24 @She named him Joseph, saying, " May the LORD give me another son."

nasb@Genesis:26:25 @Now it came about when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, " Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my own country.

nasb@Genesis:26:26" @Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me depart; for you yourself know my service which I have rendered you."

nasb@Genesis:26:27 @But Laban said to him, "If now it pleases you, stay with me; I have divined that the LORD has blessed me on your account."

nasb@Genesis:26:29 @But he said to him, " You yourself know how I have served you and how your cattle have fared with me.

nasb@Genesis:26:30" @For you had little before I came and it has increased to a multitude, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household also?"

nasb@Genesis:26:31 @So he said, "What shall I give you?" And Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture and keep your flock-

nasb@Genesis:26:33" @So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen."

nasb@Genesis:26:40 @Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own herds apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.

nasb@Genesis:26:42 @but when the flock was feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban's and the stronger Jacob's.

nasb@Genesis:27:1 @Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, "Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth."

nasb@Genesis:27:2 @Jacob saw the attitude of Laban, and behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly.

nasb@Genesis:27:5 @and said to them, " I see your father's attitude, that it is not friendly toward me as formerly, but the God of my father has been with me.

nasb@Genesis:27:6" @ You know that I have served your father with all my strength.

nasb@Genesis:27:7" @Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times; however, God did not allow him to hurt me.

nasb@Genesis:27:12" @He said, 'Lift up now your eyes and see that all the male goats which are mating are striped, speckled, and mottled; for I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you.

nasb@Genesis:27:13 @'I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to Me; now arise, leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

nasb@Genesis:27:15" @Are we not reckoned by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also entirely consumed our purchase price.

nasb@Genesis:27:16" @Surely all the wealth which God has taken away from our father belongs to us and our children; now then, do whatever God has said to you."

nasb@Genesis:27:20 @And Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing.

nasb@Genesis:27:24 @God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and said to him, " Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad."

nasb@Genesis:27:25 @Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead.

nasb@Genesis:27:27" @Why did you flee secretly and deceive me, and did not tell me so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre;

nasb@Genesis:27:28 @and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.

nasb@Genesis:27:29" @It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ' Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.'

nasb@Genesis:27:30" @Now you have indeed gone away because you longed greatly for your father's house; but why did you steal my gods?"

nasb@Genesis:27:32" @ The one with whom you find your gods shall not live; in the presence of our kinsmen point out what is yours among my belongings and take it for yourself." For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

nasb@Genesis:27:33 @So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent and into the tent of the two maids, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah's tent and entered Rachel's tent.

nasb@Genesis:27:34 @Now Rachel had taken the household idols and put them in the camel's saddle, and she sat on them. And Laban felt through all the tent but did not find them.

nasb@Genesis:27:35 @She said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is upon me." So he searched but did not find the household idols.

nasb@Genesis:27:38" @These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flocks.

nasb@Genesis:27:39" @That which was torn of beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself. You required it of my hand whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

nasb@Genesis:27:42" @If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had not been for me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so He rendered judgment last night."

nasb@Genesis:27:44" @So now come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:27:47 @Now Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

nasb@Genesis:27:50" @If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, see, God is witness between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:27:52" @This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass by this heap to you for harm, and you will not pass by this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

nasb@Genesis:28:1 @Now as Jacob went on his way, the angels of God met him.

nasb@Genesis:28:4 @He also commanded them saying, "Thus you shall say to my lord Esau- 'Thus says your servant Jacob, "I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now;

nasb@Genesis:28:10 @I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; for with my staff only I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two companies.

nasb@Genesis:28:22 @Now he arose that same night and took his two wives and his two maids and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

nasb@Genesis:28:25 @When he saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of his thigh; so the socket of Jacob's thigh was dislocated while he wrestled with him.

nasb@Genesis:28:26 @Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But he said, " I will not let you go unless you bless me."

nasb@Genesis:28:28 @He said, "Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed."

nasb@Genesis:28:31 @Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh.

nasb@Genesis:28:32 @Therefore, to this day the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the socket of the thigh, because he touched the socket of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.

nasb@Genesis:29:10 @Jacob said, "No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.

nasb@Genesis:29:13 @But he said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die.

nasb@Genesis:29:18 @Now Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and camped before the city.

nasb@Genesis:30:1 @Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.

nasb@Genesis:30:5 @Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob kept silent until they came in.

nasb@Genesis:30:7 @Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

nasb@Genesis:30:14 @They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.

nasb@Genesis:30:17" @But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go."

nasb@Genesis:30:18 @Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

nasb@Genesis:30:19 @The young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.

nasb@Genesis:30:21" @These men are friendly with us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.

nasb@Genesis:30:23" @Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will live with us."

nasb@Genesis:30:25 @Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city unawares, and killed every male.

nasb@Genesis:31:5 @As they journeyed, there was a great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

nasb@Genesis:31:8 @Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; it was named Allon-bacuth.

nasb@Genesis:31:10 @God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; You shall no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name." Thus He called him Israel.

nasb@Genesis:31:17 @When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, "Do not fear, for now you have another son."

nasb@Genesis:31:28 @Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.

nasb@Genesis:32:1 @Now these are the records of the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

nasb@Genesis:32:6 @Then Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all his household, and his livestock and all his cattle and all his goods which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob.

nasb@Genesis:32:7 @For their property had become too great for them to live together, and the land where they sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock.

nasb@Genesis:32:31 @Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the sons of Israel.

nasb@Genesis:32:40 @Now these are the names of the chiefs descended from Esau, according to their families and their localities, by their names- chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,

nasb@Genesis:32:41 @chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon,

nasb@Genesis:33:1 @Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.

nasb@Genesis:33:3 @Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a varicolored tunic.

nasb@Genesis:33:4 @His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they hated him and could not speak to him on friendly terms.

nasb@Genesis:33:9 @Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, "Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

nasb@Genesis:33:13 @Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I will go."

nasb@Genesis:33:14 @Then he said to him, "Go now and see about the welfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock, and bring word back to me." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

nasb@Genesis:33:19 @They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer!

nasb@Genesis:33:20" @Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, 'A wild beast devoured him.' Then let us see what will become of his dreams!"

nasb@Genesis:33:21 @But Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands and said, "Let us not take his life."

nasb@Genesis:33:22 @Reuben further said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hands on him"--that he might rescue him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.

nasb@Genesis:33:24 @and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, without any water in it.

nasb@Genesis:33:27" @ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers listened to him.

nasb@Genesis:33:29 @Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments.

nasb@Genesis:33:30 @He returned to his brothers and said, " The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?"

nasb@Genesis:33:32 @and they sent the varicolored tunic and brought it to their father and said, "We found this; please examine it to see whether it is your son's tunic or not."

nasb@Genesis:34:5 @She bore still another son and named him Shelah; and it was at Chezib that she bore him.

nasb@Genesis:34:6 @Now Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

nasb@Genesis:34:9 @Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother.

nasb@Genesis:34:12 @Now after a considerable time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and when the time of mourning was ended, Judah went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

nasb@Genesis:34:14 @So she removed her widow's garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.

nasb@Genesis:34:16 @So he turned aside to her by the road, and said, "Here now, let me come in to you"; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

nasb@Genesis:34:20 @When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, he did not find her.

nasb@Genesis:34:21 @He asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?" But they said, "There has been no temple prostitute here."

nasb@Genesis:34:22 @So he returned to Judah, and said, "I did not find her; and furthermore, the men of the place said, 'There has been no temple prostitute here.'"

nasb@Genesis:34:23 @Then Judah said, "Let her keep them, otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."

nasb@Genesis:34:24 @Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by harlotry." Then Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"

nasb@Genesis:34:26 @Judah recognized them, and said, " She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not have relations with her again.

nasb@Genesis:35:1 @Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there.

nasb@Genesis:35:3 @Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.

nasb@Genesis:35:6 @So he left everything he owned in Joseph's charge; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

nasb@Genesis:35:8 @But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge.

nasb@Genesis:35:9" @ There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?"

nasb@Genesis:35:10 @As she spoke to Joseph day after day, he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her.

nasb@Genesis:35:11 @Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.

nasb@Genesis:35:19 @Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your slave did to me," his anger burned.

nasb@Genesis:35:23 @The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph's charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made to prosper.

nasb@Genesis:36:8 @Then they said to him, " We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, " Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."

nasb@Genesis:36:11" @Now Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh's hand."

nasb@Genesis:36:15" @For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon."

nasb@Genesis:36:23 @Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

nasb@Genesis:37:1 @Now it happened at the end of two full years that Pharaoh had a dream, and behold, he was standing by the Nile.

nasb@Genesis:37:8 @Now in the morning his spirit was troubled, so 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 to Pharaoh.

nasb@Genesis:37:12" @Now a Hebrew youth was with us there, a servant of the captain of the bodyguard, and we related them to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each one he interpreted according to his own dream.

nasb@Genesis:37:15 @Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, but no one can interpret it; and I have heard it said about you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

nasb@Genesis:37:16 @Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, " It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."

nasb@Genesis:37:21" @Yet when they had devoured them, it could not be detected that they had devoured them, for they were just as ugly as before. Then I awoke.

nasb@Genesis:37:24 @and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

nasb@Genesis:37:25 @Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do.

nasb@Genesis:37:31" @So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe.

nasb@Genesis:37:32" @Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is determined by God, and God will quickly bring it about.

nasb@Genesis:37:33" @Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:37:36" @Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine."

nasb@Genesis:37:37 @Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

nasb@Genesis:37:39 @So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.

nasb@Genesis:37:44 @Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Though I am Pharaoh, yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."

nasb@Genesis:37:46 @Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:37:50 @Now before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

nasb@Genesis:38:1 @Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, "Why are you staring at one another?"

nasb@Genesis:38:2 @He said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us from that place, so that we may live and not die."

nasb@Genesis:38:4 @But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, " I am afraid that harm may befall him."

nasb@Genesis:38:6 @Now Joseph was the ruler over the land; he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.

nasb@Genesis:38:8 @But Joseph had recognized his brothers, although they did not recognize him.

nasb@Genesis:38:10 @Then they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

nasb@Genesis:38:11" @We are all sons of one man; we are honest men, your servants are not spies."

nasb@Genesis:38:12 @Yet he said to them, "No, but you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land!"

nasb@Genesis:38:13 @But they said, "Your servants are twelve brothers in all, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer alive."

nasb@Genesis:38:15 @by this you will be tested- by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here!

nasb@Genesis:38:16" @Send one of you that he may get your brother, while you remain confined, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you. But if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."

nasb@Genesis:38:18 @Now Joseph said to them on the third day, "Do this and live, for I fear God-

nasb@Genesis:38:20 @and bring your youngest brother to me, so your words may be verified, and you will not die." And they did so.

nasb@Genesis:38:21 @Then they said to one another, " Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us."

nasb@Genesis:38:22 @Reuben answered them, saying, " Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy'; and you would not listen? Now comes the reckoning for his blood."

nasb@Genesis:38:23 @They did not know, however, that Joseph understood, for there was an interpreter between them.

nasb@Genesis:38:28 @Then he said to his brothers, "My money has been returned, and behold, it is even in my sack." And their hearts sank, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, " What is this that God has done to us?"

nasb@Genesis:38:31" @But we said to him, 'We are honest men; we are not spies.

nasb@Genesis:38:32 @'We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.'

nasb@Genesis:38:33" @The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ' By this I will know that you are honest men- leave one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go.

nasb@Genesis:38:34 @'But bring your youngest brother to me that I may know that you are not spies, but honest men. I will give your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.'"

nasb@Genesis:38:35 @Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed.

nasb@Genesis:38:36 @Their father Jacob said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children- Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me."

nasb@Genesis:38:37 @Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my care, and I will return him to you."

nasb@Genesis:38:38 @But Jacob said, "My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should befall him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow."

nasb@Genesis:39:1 @Now the famine was severe in the land.

nasb@Genesis:39:3 @Judah spoke to him, however, saying, " The man solemnly warned us, 'You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.'

nasb@Genesis:39:5" @But if you do not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, 'You will not see my face unless your brother is with you.'"

nasb@Genesis:39:6 @Then Israel said, "Why did you treat me so badly by telling the man whether you still had another brother?"

nasb@Genesis:39:7 @But they said, "The man questioned particularly about us and our relatives, saying, ' Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' So we answered his questions. Could we possibly know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down'?"

nasb@Genesis:39:8 @Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the lad with me and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, we as well as you and our little ones.

nasb@Genesis:39:9" @ I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame before you forever.

nasb@Genesis:39:10" @For if we had not delayed, surely by now we could have returned twice."

nasb@Genesis:39:16 @When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, "Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon."

nasb@Genesis:39:18 @Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph's house; and they said, "It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys."

nasb@Genesis:39:22" @We have also brought down other money in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our money in our sacks."

nasb@Genesis:39:23 @He said, " Be at ease, 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.

nasb@Genesis:39:25 @So they prepared the present for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.

nasb@Genesis:39:32 @So they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is loathsome to the Egyptians.

nasb@Genesis:39:33 @Now they were seated before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

nasb@Genesis:39:4 @They had just gone out of the city, and were not far off, when Joseph said to his house steward, "Up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?

nasb@Genesis:39:5 @'Is not this the one from which my lord drinks and which he indeed uses for divination? You have done wrong in doing this.'"

nasb@Genesis:39:10 @So he said, "Now let it also be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and the rest of you shall be innocent."

nasb@Genesis:39:15 @Joseph said to them, "What is this deed that you have done? Do you not know that such a man as I can indeed practice divination?"

nasb@Genesis:39:18 @Then Judah approached him, and said, "Oh my lord, may your servant please speak a word in my lord's ears, and do not be angry with your servant; for you are equal to Pharaoh.

nasb@Genesis:39:20" @We said to my lord, 'We have an old father and a little child of his old age. Now his brother is dead, so he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.'

nasb@Genesis:39:22" @But we said to my lord, 'The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'

nasb@Genesis:39:23" @You said to your servants, however, ' Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'

nasb@Genesis:39:26" @But we said, 'We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'

nasb@Genesis:39:27" @Your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons;

nasb@Genesis:39:28 @and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces," and I have not seen him since.

nasb@Genesis:39:30" @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,

nasb@Genesis:39:31 @when he sees that the lad is not with us, he will die. Thus your servants will bring the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow.

nasb@Genesis:39:32" @For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then let me bear the blame before my father forever.'

nasb@Genesis:39:33" @Now, therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.

nasb@Genesis:39:34" @For how shall I go up to my father if the lad is not with me--for fear that I see the evil that would overtake my fatherNULL"

nasb@Genesis:40:1 @Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, "Have everyone go out from me." So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

nasb@Genesis:40:3 @Then Joseph said to his brothers, " I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.

nasb@Genesis:40:5" @Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

nasb@Genesis:40:6" @For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

nasb@Genesis:40:8" @Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:40:9" @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 delay.

nasb@Genesis:40:13" @Now you must tell my father of all my splendor in Egypt, and all that you have seen; and you must hurry and bring my father down here."

nasb@Genesis:40:16 @Now when the news was heard in Pharaoh's house that Joseph's brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.

nasb@Genesis:40:19" @Now you are ordered, 'Do this- take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.

nasb@Genesis:40:20 @'Do not concern yourselves with your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.'"

nasb@Genesis:40:24 @So he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, "Do not quarrel on the journey."

nasb@Genesis:40:26 @They told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." But he was stunned, for he did not believe them.

nasb@Genesis:40:28 @Then Israel said, "It is enough; my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."

nasb@Genesis:41:3 @He said, " I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there.

nasb@Genesis:41:8 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt- Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

nasb@Genesis:41:9 @The sons of Reuben- Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi.

nasb@Genesis:41:20 @Now to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.

nasb@Genesis:41:26 @All the persons belonging to Jacob, who came to Egypt, his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob's sons, were sixty-six persons in all,

nasb@Genesis:41:28 @Now he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out the way before him to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

nasb@Genesis:41:30 @Then Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive."

nasb@Genesis:41:34 @you shall say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' that you may live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is loathsome to the Egyptians."

nasb@Genesis:42:4 @They said to Pharaoh, " We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."

nasb@Genesis:42:6" @The land of Egypt is at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

nasb@Genesis:42:9 @So Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The years of my sojourning are one hundred and thirty; few and unpleasant have been the years of my life, nor have they attained the years that my fathers lived during the days of their sojourning."

nasb@Genesis:42:13 @Now there was no food in all the land, because the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

nasb@Genesis:42:18 @When that year was ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent, and the cattle are my lord's. There is nothing left for my lord except our bodies and our lands.

nasb@Genesis:42:19" @Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh. So give us seed, that we may live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate."

nasb@Genesis:42:22 @Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land.

nasb@Genesis:42:23 @Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have today bought you and your land for Pharaoh; now, here is seed for you, and you may sow the land.

nasb@Genesis:42:26 @Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.

nasb@Genesis:42:27 @Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.

nasb@Genesis:42:29 @When the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

nasb@Genesis:43:1 @Now it came about after these things that Joseph was told, "Behold, your father is sick." So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him.

nasb@Genesis:43:5" @Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.

nasb@Genesis:43:7" @Now as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died, to my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."

nasb@Genesis:43:10 @Now the eyes of Israel were so dim from age that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them close to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.

nasb@Genesis:43:18 @Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand on his head."

nasb@Genesis:43:19 @But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."

nasb@Genesis:43:20 @He blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, 'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!'" Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

nasb@Genesis:43:4" @Uncontrolled as water, you shall not have preeminence, Because you went up to your father's bed; Then you defiled it--he went up to my couch.

nasb@Genesis:43:6" @ Let my soul not enter into their council; Let not my glory be united with their assembly; Because in their anger they slew men, And in their self-will they lamed oxen.

nasb@Genesis:43:10" @ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

nasb@Genesis:43:27" @Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he devours the prey, And in the evening he divides the spoil."

nasb@Genesis:44:3 @Now forty days were required for it, for such is the period required for embalming. And the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.

nasb@Genesis:44:4 @When the days of mourning for him were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please speak to Pharaoh, saying,

nasb@Genesis:44:5 @' My father made me swear, saying, "Behold, I am about to die; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.'"

nasb@Genesis:44:11 @Now when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians." Therefore it was named Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

nasb@Genesis:44:17 @'Thus you shall say to Joseph, "Please forgive, I beg you, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did you wrong."' And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

nasb@Genesis:44:19 @But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in God's place?

nasb@Genesis:44:21" @So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

nasb@Genesis:44:22 @Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father's household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.

nasb@Exodus:1:1 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; they came each one with his household-

nasb@Exodus:1:8 @Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.

nasb@Exodus:1:17 @But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live.

nasb@Exodus:1:19 @The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them."

nasb@Exodus:2:1 @Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi.

nasb@Exodus:2:3 @But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.

nasb@Exodus:2:11 @Now it came about in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

nasb@Exodus:2:12 @So he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

nasb@Exodus:2:14 @But he said, " Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and said, "Surely the matter has become known."

nasb@Exodus:2:16 @Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came to draw water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

nasb@Exodus:2:23 @Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.

nasb@Exodus:2:25 @God saw the sons of Israel, and God took notice of them.

nasb@Exodus:3:1 @Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

nasb@Exodus:3:2 @The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

nasb@Exodus:3:10" @Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."

nasb@Exodus:3:13 @Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?"

nasb@Exodus:4:21 @The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.

nasb@Exodus:4:24 @Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the LORD met him and sought to put him to death.

nasb@Exodus:4:27 @Now the LORD said to Aaron, "Go to meet Moses in the wilderness." So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.

nasb@Exodus:5:2 @But Pharaoh said, " Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and besides, I will not let Israel go."

nasb@Exodus:5:5 @Again Pharaoh said, "Look, the people of the land are now many, and you would have them cease from their labors!"

nasb@Exodus:5:7" @You are no longer to give the people straw to make brick as previously; let them go and gather straw for themselves.

nasb@Exodus:5:8" @But the quota of bricks which they were making previously, you shall impose on them; you are not to reduce any of it. Because they are lazy, therefore they cry out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.'

nasb@Exodus:5:9" @Let the labor be heavier on the men, and let them work at it so that they will pay no attention to false words."

nasb@Exodus:5:10 @So the taskmasters of the people and their foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, "Thus says Pharaoh, 'I am not going to give you any straw.

nasb@Exodus:5:11 @'You go and get straw for yourselves wherever you can find it, but none of your labor will be reduced.'"

nasb@Exodus:5:14 @Moreover, the foremen of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, "Why have you not completed your required amount either yesterday or today in making brick as previously?"

nasb@Exodus:5:16" @There is no straw given to your servants, yet they keep saying to us, 'Make bricks!' And behold, your servants are being beaten; but it is the fault of your own people."

nasb@Exodus:5:18" @So go now and work; for you will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the quota of bricks."

nasb@Exodus:5:19 @The foremen of the sons of Israel saw that they were in trouble because they were told, "You must not reduce your daily amount of bricks."

nasb@Exodus:5:23" @Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done harm to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all."

nasb@Exodus:6:1 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for under compulsion he will let them go, and under compulsion he will drive them out of his land."

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

nasb@Exodus:6:7 @'Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

nasb@Exodus:6:9 @So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on account of their despondency and cruel bondage.

nasb@Exodus:6:10 @Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Exodus:6:12 @But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, "Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am unskilled in speech?"

nasb@Exodus:6:14 @These are the heads of their fathers' households. The sons of Reuben, Israel's firstborn- Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben.

nasb@Exodus:6:28 @Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

nasb@Exodus:6:4" @When Pharaoh does not listen to you, then I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My hosts, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments.

nasb@Exodus:6:5" @ The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst."

nasb@Exodus:6:8 @Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

nasb@Exodus:6:13 @Yet Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

nasb@Exodus:6:16" @ You shall say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, " Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened until now."

nasb@Exodus:6:17 @'Thus says the LORD, " By this you shall know that I am the LORD- behold, I will strike the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and it will be turned to blood.

nasb@Exodus:6:21 @The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:6:22 @But the magicians of Egypt did the same with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

nasb@Exodus:6:23 @Then Pharaoh turned and went into his house with no concern even for this.

nasb@Exodus:6:24 @So all the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink of the water of the Nile.

nasb@Exodus:6:9 @Moses said to Pharaoh, "The honor is yours to tell me- when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?"

nasb@Exodus:6:10 @Then he said, "Tomorrow." So he said, "May it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

nasb@Exodus:6:15 @But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

nasb@Exodus:6:18 @The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth gnats, but they could not; so there were gnats on man and beast.

nasb@Exodus:6:19 @Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, " This is the finger of God." But Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

nasb@Exodus:6:20 @Now the LORD said to Moses, " Rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh, as he comes out to the water, and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, " Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

nasb@Exodus:6:21" @For if you do not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses; and the houses of the Egyptians will be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they dwell.

nasb@Exodus:6:22" @ But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are living, so that no swarms of flies will be there, in order that you may know that I, the LORD, am in the midst of the land.

nasb@Exodus:6:26 @But Moses said, "It is not right to do so, for we will sacrifice to the LORD our God what is an abomination to the Egyptians. If we sacrifice what is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not then stone us?

nasb@Exodus:6:28 @Pharaoh said, " I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Make supplication for me."

nasb@Exodus:6:29 @Then Moses said, "Behold, I am going out from you, and I shall make supplication to the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully again in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:6:31 @The LORD did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants and from his people; not one remained.

nasb@Exodus:6:32 @But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.

nasb@Exodus:6:4" @ But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel."'"

nasb@Exodus:6:6 @So the LORD did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died.

nasb@Exodus:6:7 @Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not even one of the livestock of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

nasb@Exodus:6:11 @The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians as well as on all the Egyptians.

nasb@Exodus:6:12 @And the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the LORD had spoken to Moses.

nasb@Exodus:6:14" @For this time I will send all My plagues on you and your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

nasb@Exodus:6:15" @For if by now I had put forth My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, you would then have been cut off from the earth.

nasb@Exodus:6:17" @Still you exalt yourself against My people by not letting them go.

nasb@Exodus:6:18" @Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.

nasb@Exodus:6:19" @Now therefore send, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die."'"

nasb@Exodus:6:21 @but he who paid no regard to the word of the LORD left his servants and his livestock in the field.

nasb@Exodus:6:22 @Now the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field, throughout the land of Egypt."

nasb@Exodus:6:24 @So there was hail, and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

nasb@Exodus:6:26 @Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, there was no hail.

nasb@Exodus:6:28" @ Make supplication to the LORD, for there has been enough of God's thunder and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer."

nasb@Exodus:6:29 @Moses said to him, "As soon as I go out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD; the thunder will cease and there will be hail no longer, that you may know that the earth is the LORD'S.

nasb@Exodus:6:30" @ But as for you and your servants, I know that you do not yet fear the LORD God."

nasb@Exodus:6:31 @(Now the flax and the barley were ruined, for the barley was in the ear and the flax was in bud.

nasb@Exodus:6:32 @But the wheat and the spelt were not ruined, for they ripen late.)

nasb@Exodus:6:33 @So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunder and the hail ceased, and rain no longer poured on the earth.

nasb@Exodus:6:35 @Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not let the sons of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.

nasb@Exodus:7:2 @and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your grandson, how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and how I performed My signs among them, that you may know that I am the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:7:5 @'They shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one will be able to see the land. They will also eat the rest of what has escaped--what is left to you from the hail--and they will eat every tree which sprouts for you out of the field.

nasb@Exodus:7:6 @'Then your houses shall be filled and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Egyptians, something which neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day that they came upon the earth until this day.'" And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

nasb@Exodus:7:7 @Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not realize that Egypt is destroyed?"

nasb@Exodus:7:11" @Not so! Go now, the men among you, and serve the LORD, for that is what you desire." So they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

nasb@Exodus:7:14 @The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled in all the territory of Egypt; they were very numerous. There had never been so many locusts, nor would there be so many again.

nasb@Exodus:7:15 @For they covered the surface of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Thus nothing green was left on tree or plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:7:17" @Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and make supplication to the LORD your God, that He would only remove this death from me."

nasb@Exodus:7:19 @So the LORD shifted the wind to a very strong west wind which took up the locusts and drove them into the Red Sea; not one locust was left in all the territory of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:7:20 @But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go.

nasb@Exodus:7:23 @They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.

nasb@Exodus:7:26" @ Therefore, our livestock too shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we shall take some of them to serve the LORD our God. And until we arrive there, we ourselves do not know with what we shall serve the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:7:27 @But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he was not willing to let them go.

nasb@Exodus:7:28 @Then Pharaoh said to him, " Get away from me! Beware, do not see my face again, for in the day you see my face you shall die!"

nasb@Exodus:7:11 @Now the LORD said to Moses, "One more plague I will bring on Pharaoh and on Egypt; after that he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out from here completely.

nasb@Exodus:7:2" @Speak now in the hearing of the people that each man ask from his neighbor and each woman from her neighbor for articles of silver and articles of gold."

nasb@Exodus:7:6 @'Moreover, there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as there has not been before and such as shall never be again.

nasb@Exodus:7:7 @' But against any of the sons of Israel a dog will not even bark, whether against man or beast, that you may understand how the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.'

nasb@Exodus:7:9 @Then the LORD said to Moses, " Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders will be multiplied in the land of Egypt."

nasb@Exodus:7:10 @Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh; yet the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

nasb@Exodus:7:12 @Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

nasb@Exodus:7:4 @'Now if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the number of persons in them; according to what each man should eat, you are to divide the lamb.

nasb@Exodus:7:9 @'Do not eat any of it raw or boiled at all with water, but rather roasted with fire, both its head and its legs along with its entrails.

nasb@Exodus:7:10 @' And you shall not leave any of it over until morning, but whatever is left of it until morning, you shall burn with fire.

nasb@Exodus:7:11 @'Now you shall eat it in this manner- with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste--it is the LORD'S Passover.

nasb@Exodus:7:13 @' The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:7:14 @'Now this day will be a memorial to you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as a permanent ordinance.

nasb@Exodus:7:16 @' On the first day you shall have a holy assembly, and another holy assembly on the seventh day; no work at all shall be done on them, except what must be eaten by every person, that alone may be prepared by you.

nasb@Exodus:7:19 @' Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats what is leavened, that person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is an alien or a native of the land.

nasb@Exodus:7:20 @'You shall not eat anything leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.'"

nasb@Exodus:7:22" @ You shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and the two doorposts; and none of you shall go outside the door of his house until morning.

nasb@Exodus:7:23" @For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.

nasb@Exodus:7:29 @Now it came about at midnight that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.

nasb@Exodus:7:30 @Pharaoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no home where there was not someone dead.

nasb@Exodus:7:35 @Now the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing;

nasb@Exodus:7:37 @Now the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from children.

nasb@Exodus:7:39 @They baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had not become leavened, since they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.

nasb@Exodus:7:40 @Now the time that the sons of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

nasb@Exodus:7:43 @The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover- no foreigner is to eat of it;

nasb@Exodus:7:45" @ A sojourner or a hired servant shall not eat of it.

nasb@Exodus:7:46" @It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, nor are you to break any bone of it.

nasb@Exodus:7:48" @But if a stranger sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.

nasb@Exodus:7:3 @Moses said to the people, " Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of slavery; for by a powerful hand the LORD brought you out from this place. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.

nasb@Exodus:7:7" @Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and nothing leavened shall be seen among you, nor shall any leaven be seen among you in all your borders.

nasb@Exodus:7:11" @Now when the LORD brings you to the land of the Canaanite, as He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,

nasb@Exodus:7:13" @But every first offspring of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.

nasb@Exodus:7:17 @Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, " The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt."

nasb@Exodus:7:22 @He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

nasb@Exodus:7:14 @Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Exodus:7:4" @Thus I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will chase after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD." And they did so.

nasb@Exodus:7:11 @Then they said to Moses, "Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt?

nasb@Exodus:7:12" @ Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."

nasb@Exodus:7:13 @But Moses said to the people, " Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.

nasb@Exodus:7:17" @As for Me, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.

nasb@Exodus:7:18" @ Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I am honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen."

nasb@Exodus:7:20 @So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night.

nasb@Exodus:7:27 @So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it; then the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

nasb@Exodus:8:4 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may test them, whether or not they will walk in My instruction.

nasb@Exodus:8:6 @So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, "At evening you will know that the LORD has brought you out of the land of Egypt;

nasb@Exodus:8:8 @Moses said, "This will happen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the LORD hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:8:15 @When the sons of Israel saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, " It is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.

nasb@Exodus:8:18 @When they measured it with an omer, he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered as much as he should eat.

nasb@Exodus:8:19 @Moses said to them, " Let no man leave any of it until morning."

nasb@Exodus:8:20 @But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.

nasb@Exodus:8:22 @Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. When all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,

nasb@Exodus:8:24 @So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and it did not become foul nor was there any worm in it.

nasb@Exodus:8:25 @Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field.

nasb@Exodus:8:29" @See, the LORD has given you the sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."

nasb@Exodus:8:36 @(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)

nasb@Exodus:9:1 @Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by stages from the wilderness of Sin, according to the command of the LORD, and camped at Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

nasb@Exodus:9:3 @But the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said, "Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?"

nasb@Exodus:13:5 @Now when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:13:10" @Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation."

nasb@Exodus:13:17 @Now when Joshua heard the sound of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a sound of war in the camp."

nasb@Exodus:13:18 @But he said, "It is not the sound of the cry of triumph, Nor is it the sound of the cry of defeat; But the sound of singing I hear."

nasb@Exodus:13:22 @Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you know the people yourself, that they are prone to evil.

nasb@Exodus:13:23" @For they said to me, 'Make a god for us who will go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

nasb@Exodus:13:25 @Now when Moses saw that the people were out of control--for Aaron had let them get out of control to be a derision among their enemies--

nasb@Exodus:13:30 @On the next day Moses said to the people, " You yourselves have committed a great sin; and now I am going up to the LORD, perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."

nasb@Exodus:13:32" @But now, if You will, forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!"

nasb@Exodus:13:34" @But go now, lead the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."

nasb@Exodus:13:3" @Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way."

nasb@Exodus:13:4 @When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his ornaments.

nasb@Exodus:13:5 @For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the sons of Israel, 'You are an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.'"

nasb@Exodus:13:7 @Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.

nasb@Exodus:13:11 @Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.

nasb@Exodus:13:12 @Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, ' Bring up this people!' But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, 'I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.'

nasb@Exodus:13:13" @Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people."

nasb@Exodus:13:15 @Then he said to Him, " If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.

nasb@Exodus:13:16" @For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?"

nasb@Exodus:13:17 @The LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name."

nasb@Exodus:13:23" @Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen."

nasb@Exodus:13:34 @Now the LORD said to Moses, "Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the former ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered.

nasb@Exodus:13:3" @ No man is to come up with you, nor let any man be seen anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds may not graze in front of that mountain."

nasb@Exodus:13:9 @He said, " If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though the people are so obstinate, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your own possession."

nasb@Numbers:3:22 @Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but when it was lifted, they did set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:11 @Now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony;

nasb@Numbers:3:30 @But he said to him, " I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives."

nasb@Numbers:3:31 @Then he said, "Please do not leave us, inasmuch as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.

nasb@Numbers:4:1 @Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:6 @but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna."

nasb@Numbers:4:7 @Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its appearance like that of bdellium.

nasb@Numbers:4:10 @Now Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, each man at the doorway of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.

nasb@Numbers:4:11 @So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me?

nasb@Numbers:4:14" @ I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me.

nasb@Numbers:4:15" @ So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness."

nasb@Numbers:4:16 @The LORD therefore said to Moses, "Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.

nasb@Numbers:4:17" @ Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone.

nasb@Numbers:4:19 @'You shall eat, not one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty days,

nasb@Numbers:4:20 @but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever leave Egypt?"'"

nasb@Numbers:4:23 @The LORD said to Moses, "Is the LORD'S power limited? Now you shall see whether My word will come true for you or not."

nasb@Numbers:4:25 @Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again.

nasb@Numbers:4:26 @But two men had remained in the camp; the name of one was Eldad and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them (now they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:31 @Now there went forth a wind from the LORD and it brought quail from the sea, and let them fall beside the camp, about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side, all around the camp and about two cubits deep on the surface of the ground.

nasb@Numbers:5:2 @and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?" And the LORD heard it.

nasb@Numbers:5:3 @(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)

nasb@Numbers:5:6 @He said, "Hear now My words- If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream.

nasb@Numbers:5:7" @Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household;

nasb@Numbers:5:8 @With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?"

nasb@Numbers:5:10 @But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. As Aaron turned toward Miriam, behold, she was leprous.

nasb@Numbers:5:11 @Then Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, I beg you, do not account this sin to us, in which we have acted foolishly and in which we have sinned.

nasb@Numbers:5:12" @Oh, do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes from his mother's womb!"

nasb@Numbers:5:14 @But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut up for seven days outside the camp, and afterward she may be received again."

nasb@Numbers:5:15 @So Miriam was shut up outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was received again.

nasb@Numbers:5:20" @ How is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.

nasb@Numbers:5:22 @When they had gone up into the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

nasb@Numbers:5:31 @But the men who had gone up with him said, " We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us."

nasb@Numbers:6:3" @Why is the LORD bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become plunder; would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"

nasb@Numbers:6:4 @So they said to one another, " Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt."

nasb@Numbers:6:9" @Only do not rebel against the LORD; and do not fear the people of the land, for they will be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them."

nasb@Numbers:6:11 @The LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people spurn Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs which I have performed in their midst?

nasb@Numbers:6:15" @Now if You slay this people as one man, then the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,

nasb@Numbers:6:16 @'Because the LORD could not bring this people into the land which He promised them by oath, therefore He slaughtered them in the wilderness.'

nasb@Numbers:6:17" @But now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as You have declared,

nasb@Numbers:6:18 @' The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.'

nasb@Numbers:6:19" @ Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, just as You also have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now."

nasb@Numbers:6:22" @Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice,

nasb@Numbers:6:23 @shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurned Me see it.

nasb@Numbers:6:25" @ Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; turn tomorrow and set out to the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea."

nasb@Numbers:6:30 @'Surely you shall not come into the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@Numbers:6:31 @' Your children, however, whom you said would become a prey--I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.

nasb@Numbers:6:34 @'According to the number of days which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall bear your guilt a year, even forty years, and you will know My opposition.

nasb@Numbers:6:41 @But Moses said, " Why then are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD, when it will not succeed?

nasb@Numbers:6:42" @ Do not go up, or you will be struck down before your enemies, for the LORD is not among you.

nasb@Numbers:6:43" @For the Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there in front of you, and you will fall by the sword, inasmuch as you have turned back from following the LORD. And the LORD will not be with you."

nasb@Numbers:6:44 @But they went up heedlessly to the ridge of the hill country; neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses left the camp.

nasb@Numbers:6:15 @Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

nasb@Numbers:6:22 @'But when you unwittingly fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the LORD has spoken to Moses,

nasb@Numbers:6:24 @then it shall be, if it is done unintentionally, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull for a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

nasb@Numbers:6:32 @Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day.

nasb@Numbers:6:34 @and they put him in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

nasb@Numbers:6:39" @It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot,

nasb@Numbers:7:1 @Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took action,

nasb@Numbers:7:2 @and they rose up before Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, chosen in the assembly, men of renown.

nasb@Numbers:7:3 @They assembled together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, " You have gone far enough, for all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is in their midst; so why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?"

nasb@Numbers:7:7 @and put fire in them, and lay incense upon them in the presence of the LORD tomorrow; and the man whom the LORD chooses shall be the one who is holy. You have gone far enough, you sons of Levi!"

nasb@Numbers:7:8 @Then Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi,

nasb@Numbers:7:9 @is it not enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;

nasb@Numbers:7:12 @Then Moses sent a summons to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, "We will not come up.

nasb@Numbers:7:13" @Is it not enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey to have us die in the wilderness, but you would also lord it over us?

nasb@Numbers:7:14" @Indeed, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Would you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!"

nasb@Numbers:7:15 @Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, " Do not regard their offering! I have not taken a single donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them."

nasb@Numbers:7:26 @and he spoke to the congregation, saying, " Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing that belongs to them, or you will be swept away in all their sin."

nasb@Numbers:7:28 @Moses said, "By this you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these deeds; for this is not my doing.

nasb@Numbers:7:29" @If these men die the death of all men or if they suffer the fate of all men, then the LORD has not sent me.

nasb@Numbers:7:40 @as a reminder to the sons of Israel that no layman who is not of the descendants of Aaron should come near to burn incense before the LORD; so that he will not become like Korah and his company--just as the LORD had spoken to him through Moses.

nasb@Numbers:7:8 @Now on the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.

nasb@Numbers:7:10 @But the LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die."

nasb@Numbers:7:3" @And they shall thus attend to your obligation and the obligation of all the tent, but they shall not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.

nasb@Numbers:7:4" @They shall be joined with you and attend to the obligations of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; but an outsider may not come near you.

nasb@Numbers:7:5" @So you shall attend to the obligations of the sanctuary and the obligations of the altar, so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:7:8 @Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, "Now behold, I Myself have given you charge of My offerings, even all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual allotment.

nasb@Numbers:7:17" @But the firstborn of an ox or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar and shall offer up their fat in smoke as an offering by fire, for a soothing aroma to the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:7:20 @Then the LORD said to Aaron, " You shall have no inheritance in their land nor own any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:7:22" @ The sons of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting again, or they will bear sin and die.

nasb@Numbers:7:23" @Only the Levites shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

nasb@Numbers:7:24" @For the tithe of the sons of Israel, which they offer as an offering to the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance; therefore I have said concerning them, ' They shall have no inheritance among the sons of Israel.'"

nasb@Numbers:7:32 @'You will bear no sin by reason of it when you have offered the best of it. But you shall not profane the sacred gifts of the sons of Israel, or you will die.'"

nasb@Numbers:7:2" @This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, 'Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed.

nasb@Numbers:7:9 @'Now a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and the congregation of the sons of Israel shall keep it as water to remove impurity; it is purification from sin.

nasb@Numbers:7:12 @'That one shall purify himself from uncleanness with the water on the third day and on the seventh day, and then he will be clean; but if he does not purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.

nasb@Numbers:7:13 @' Anyone who touches a corpse, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him.

nasb@Numbers:7:15 @'Every open vessel, which has no covering tied down on it, shall be unclean.

nasb@Numbers:7:20 @'But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself from uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD; the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him, he is unclean.

nasb@Numbers:8:1 @Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people stayed at Kadesh. Now Miriam died there and was buried there.

nasb@Numbers:8:2 @There was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron.

nasb@Numbers:8:5" @Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us in to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, nor is there water to drink."

nasb@Numbers:8:10 @and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, " Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?"

nasb@Numbers:8:12 @But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, " Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

nasb@Numbers:8:14 @From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom- "Thus your brother Israel has said, 'You know all the hardship that has befallen us;

nasb@Numbers:8:16 @'But when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out from Egypt; now behold, we are at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.

nasb@Numbers:8:17 @'Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king's highway, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.'"

nasb@Numbers:8:18 @Edom, however, said to him, "You shall not pass through us, or I will come out with the sword against you."

nasb@Numbers:8:19 @Again, the sons of Israel said to him, "We will go up by the highway, and if I and my livestock do drink any of your water, then I will pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, nothing else."

nasb@Numbers:8:20 @But he said, " You shall not pass through." And Edom came out against him with a heavy force and with a strong hand.

nasb@Numbers:8:22 @Now when they set out from Kadesh, the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

nasb@Numbers:8:24" @Aaron will be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.

nasb@Numbers:9:5 @The people spoke against God and Moses, " Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food."

nasb@Numbers:9:10 @Now the sons of Israel moved out and camped in Oboth.

nasb@Numbers:9:13 @From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites, for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

nasb@Numbers:9:14 @Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the LORD, "Waheb in Suphah, And the wadis of the Arnon,

nasb@Numbers:9:18" @The well, which the leaders sank, Which the nobles of the people dug, With the scepter and with their staffs." And from the wilderness they continued to Mattanah,

nasb@Numbers:9:22" @ Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king's highway until we have passed through your border."

nasb@Numbers:9:23 @But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

nasb@Numbers:9:24 @Then Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon was Jazer.

nasb@Numbers:9:26 @For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.

nasb@Numbers:9:28" @ For a fire went forth from Heshbon, A flame from the town of Sihon; It devoured Ar of Moab, The dominant heights of the Arnon.

nasb@Numbers:9:30" @But we have cast them down, Heshbon is ruined as far as Dibon, Then we have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba."

nasb@Numbers:9:34 @But the LORD said to Moses, " Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."

nasb@Numbers:9:35 @So they killed him and his sons and all his people, until there was no remnant left him; and they possessed his land.

nasb@Numbers:10:2 @Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

nasb@Numbers:10:4 @Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this horde will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

nasb@Numbers:10:6" @ Now, therefore, please come, curse this people for me since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed."

nasb@Numbers:10:22 @But God was angry because he was going, and the angel of the LORD took his stand in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey and his two servants were with him.

nasb@Numbers:10:26 @The angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place where there was no way to turn to the right hand or the left.

nasb@Numbers:10:34 @Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, " I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. Now then, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back."

nasb@Numbers:10:36 @When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the Arnon border, at the extreme end of the border.

nasb@Numbers:10:37 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not urgently send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really unable to honor you?"

nasb@Numbers:10:38 @So Balaam said to Balak, "Behold, I have come now to you! Am I able to speak anything at all? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I shall speak."

nasb@Numbers:11:4 @Now God met Balaam, and he said to Him, "I have set up the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each altar."

nasb@Numbers:11:13 @Then Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place from where you may see them, although you will only see the extreme end of them and will not see all of them; and curse them for me from there."

nasb@Numbers:11:19" @ God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

nasb@Numbers:11:20" @Behold, I have received a command to bless; When He has blessed, then I cannot revoke it.

nasb@Numbers:11:21" @ He has not observed misfortune in Jacob; Nor has He seen trouble in Israel; The LORD his God is with him, And the shout of a king is among them.

nasb@Numbers:11:26 @But Balaam replied to Balak, "Did I not tell you, ' Whatever the LORD speaks, that I must do'?"

nasb@Numbers:11:27 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be agreeable with God that you curse them for me from there."

nasb@Numbers:12:1 @When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness.

nasb@Numbers:12:11" @Therefore, flee to your place now. I said I would honor you greatly, but behold, the LORD has held you back from honor."

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:43" @So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead you rebelled against the command of the LORD, and acted presumptuously and went up into the hill country.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:44" @ The Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you as bees do, and crushed you from Seir to Hormah.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:45" @Then you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD did not listen to your voice nor give ear to you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:46" @So you remained in Kadesh many days, the days that you spent there.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:2" @ Then we turned and set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me, and circled Mount Seir for many days.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:2" @And the LORD spoke to me, saying,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:3 @'You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:4 @and command the people, saying, "You will pass through the territory of your brothers the sons of Esau who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful;

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:5 @do not provoke them, for I will not give you any of their land, even as little as a footstep because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:6" @You shall buy food from them with money so that you may eat, and you shall also purchase water from them with money so that you may drink.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:8" @So we passed beyond our brothers the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, away from the Arabah road, away from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed through by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:9" @Then the LORD said to me, 'Do not harass Moab, nor provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot as a possession.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:22 @just as He did for the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them; they dispossessed them and settled in their place even to this day.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:24 @'Arise, set out, and pass through the valley of Arnon. Look! I have given Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land into your hand; begin to take possession and contend with him in battle.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:30" @But Sihon king of Heshbon was not willing for us to pass through his land; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, in order to deliver him into your hand, as he is today.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:31" @The LORD said to me, 'See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to occupy, that you may possess his land.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:10 @all the cities of the plateau and all Gilead and all Bashan, as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:3" @ Your eyes have seen what the LORD has done in the case of Baal-peor, for all the men who followed Baal-peor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:4" @But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive today, every one of you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:5" @See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:6" @So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, 'Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:7" @For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the LORD our God whenever we call on Him?

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:8" @Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole law which I am setting before you today?

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:9" @Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently, so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your sons and your grandsons.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:10" @Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when the LORD said to me, 'Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:11" @You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the very heart of the heavens- darkness, cloud and thick gloom.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:12" @Then the LORD spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you heard the sound of words, but you saw no form--only a voice.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:13" @So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:14" @The LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might perform them in the land where you are going over to possess it.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:15" @So watch yourselves carefully, since you did not see any form on the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:16 @so that you do not act corruptly and make a graven image for yourselves in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:17 @the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the sky,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:18 @the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water below the earth.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:19" @And beware not to lift up your eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:20" @But the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people for His own possession, as today.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:21" @ Now the LORD was angry with me on your account, and swore that I would not cross the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:22" @For I will die in this land, I shall not cross the Jordan, but you shall cross and take possession of this good land.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:23" @So watch yourselves, that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything against which the LORD your God has commanded you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:24" @For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:25" @When you become the father of children and children's children and have remained long in the land, and act corruptly, and make an idol in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD your God so as to provoke Him to anger,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:26 @I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will surely perish quickly from the land where you are going over the Jordan to possess it. You shall not live long on it, but will be utterly destroyed.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:27" @The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD drives you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:28" @ There you will serve gods, the work of man's hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:29" @ But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:30" @When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:31" @For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:32" @Indeed, ask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and inquire from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it?

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:33" @ Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived?

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:34" @ Or has a god tried to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation by trials, by signs and wonders and by war and by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm and by great terrors, as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:35" @To you it was shown that you might know that the LORD, He is God; there is no other besides Him.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:36" @ Out of the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline you; and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:37" @ Because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them. And He personally brought you from Egypt by His great power,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:38 @driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:39" @Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:40" @ So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time."

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:41 @Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the east,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:42 @that a manslayer might flee there, who unintentionally slew his neighbor without having enmity toward him in time past; and by fleeing to one of these cities he might live-

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:43 @Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:44 @Now this is the law which Moses set before the sons of Israel;

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:45 @these are the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out from Egypt,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:46 @across the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel defeated when they came out from Egypt.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:47 @They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan to the east,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:48 @from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, even as far as Mount Sion (that is, Hermon),

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:49 @with all the Arabah across the Jordan to the east, even as far as the sea of the Arabah, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:5 @Then Moses summoned all Israel and said to them- "Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I am speaking today in your hearing, that you may learn them and observe them carefully.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:2" @The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:3" @ The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, with all those of us alive here today.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:4" @The LORD spoke to you face to face at the mountain from the midst of the fire,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:5 @while I was standing between the LORD and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the LORD; for you were afraid because of the fire and did not go up the mountain. He said,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:6 @' I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:7 @' You shall have no other gods before Me.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:8 @' You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:9 @'You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:10 @but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:11 @' You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:12 @' Observe the sabbath day to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:13 @'Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:14 @but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant or your ox or your donkey or any of your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you, so that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:15 @' You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to observe the sabbath day.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:16 @' Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged and that it may go well with you on the land which the LORD your God gives you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:17 @' You shall not murder.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:18 @' You shall not commit adultery.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:19 @' You shall not steal.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:20 @' You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:21 @' You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, and you shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field or his male servant or his female servant, his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:22" @These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick gloom, with a great voice, and He added no more. He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:23" @And when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:24" @You said, 'Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; we have seen today that God speaks with man, yet he lives.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:25 @' Now then why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer, then we will die.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:26 @'For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:27 @'Go near and hear all that the LORD our God says; then speak to us all that the LORD our God speaks to you, and we will hear and do it.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:28" @The LORD heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and the LORD said to me, 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:29 @' Oh that they had such a heart in them, that they would fear Me and keep all My commandments always, that it may be well with them and with their sons forever!

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:30 @'Go, say to them, "Return to your tents."

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:31 @' But as for you, stand here by Me, that I may speak to you all the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which you shall teach them, that they may observe them in the land which I give them to possess.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:32" @So you shall observe to do just as the LORD your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left.

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:33" @ You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you will possess.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:1" @Now this is the commandment, the statutes and the judgments which the LORD your God has commanded me to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you are going over to possess it,

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:2 @so that you and your son and your grandson might fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:3" @O Israel, you should listen and be careful to do it, that it may be well with you and that you may multiply greatly, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:4" @ Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:5" @ You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:6" @ These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:7" @ You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:8" @ You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:9" @ You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:10" @Then it shall come about when the LORD your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you, great and splendid cities which you did not build,

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:11 @and houses full of all good things which you did not fill, and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant, and you eat and are satisfied,

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:12 @then watch yourself, that you do not forget the LORD who brought you from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:13" @ You shall fear only the LORD your God; and you shall worship Him and swear by His name.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:14" @ You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you,

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:15 @for the LORD your God in the midst of you is a jealous God; otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:16" @ You shall not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested Him at Massah.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:17" @ You should diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:18" @You shall do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to give your fathers,

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:19 @by driving out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:20" @ When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What do the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments mean which the LORD our God commanded you?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:21 @then you shall say to your son, 'We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt, and the LORD brought us from Egypt with a mighty hand.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:22 @'Moreover, the LORD showed great and distressing signs and wonders before our eyes against Egypt, Pharaoh and all his household;

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:23 @He brought us out from there in order to bring us in, to give us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:24" @So the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God for our good always and for our survival, as it is today.

nasb@Deuteronomy:2:25" @ It will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all this commandment before the LORD our God, just as He commanded us.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:1" @ When the LORD your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you,

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:2 @and when the LORD your God delivers them before you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them and show no favor to them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:3" @Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them; you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters for your sons.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:4" @For they will turn your sons away from following Me to serve other gods; then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you and He will quickly destroy you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:5" @But thus you shall do to them- you shall tear down their altars, and smash their sacred pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:6" @For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:7" @ The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples,

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:8 @but because the LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the LORD brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:9" @Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments;

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:10 @but repays those who hate Him to their faces, to destroy them; He will not delay with him who hates Him, He will repay him to his face.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:11" @Therefore, you shall keep the commandment and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:12" @ Then it shall come about, because you listen to these judgments and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you His covenant and His lovingkindness which He swore to your forefathers.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:13" @He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock, in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:15" @ The LORD will remove from you all sickness; and He will not put on you any of the harmful diseases of Egypt which you have known, but He will lay them on all who hate you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:16" @You shall consume all the peoples whom the LORD your God will deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:17" @If you should say in your heart, 'These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:18 @you shall not be afraid of them; you shall well remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt-

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:19 @the great trials which your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which the LORD your God brought you out. So shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:20" @Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet against them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you perish.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:21" @You shall not dread them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:22" @ The LORD your God will clear away these nations before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly, for the wild beasts would grow too numerous for you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:24" @ He will deliver their kings into your hand so that you will make their name perish from under heaven; no man will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:25" @The graven images of their gods you are to burn with fire; you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, or you will be snared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:26" @You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and like it come under the ban; you shall utterly detest it and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is something banned.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:8" @All the commandments that I am commanding you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to give to your forefathers.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:2" @ You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:3" @He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:4" @ Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:5" @ Thus you are to know in your heart that the LORD your God was disciplining you just as a man disciplines his son.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:6" @Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:7" @For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:8 @a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:9 @a land where you will eat food without scarcity, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:10" @When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:11" @Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes which I am commanding you today;

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:13 @and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have multiplies,

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:14 @then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:15" @He led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water; He brought water for you out of the rock of flint.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:16" @In the wilderness He fed you manna which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do good for you in the end.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:17" @Otherwise, you may say in your heart, 'My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:18" @But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:19" @It shall come about if you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.

nasb@Deuteronomy:3:20" @Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of the LORD your God.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:1" @Hear, O Israel! You are crossing over the Jordan today to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than you, great cities fortified to heaven,

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:2 @a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know and of whom you have heard it said, ' Who can stand before the sons of Anak?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:3" @Know therefore today that it is the LORD your God who is crossing over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that you may drive them out and destroy them quickly, just as the LORD has spoken to you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:4" @ Do not say in your heart when the LORD your God has driven them out before you, 'Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,' but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is dispossessing them before you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:5" @It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:6" @Know, then, it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stubborn people.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:7" @Remember, do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day that you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:8" @Even at Horeb you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:9" @When I went up to the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the LORD had made with you, then I remained on the mountain forty days and nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:10" @The LORD gave me the two tablets of stone written by the finger of God; and on them were all the words which the LORD had spoken with you at the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:11" @It came about at the end of forty days and nights that the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:12" @ Then the LORD said to me, 'Arise, go down from here quickly, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly. They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made a molten image for themselves.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:13" @The LORD spoke further to me, saying, 'I have seen this people, and indeed, it is a stubborn people.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:14 @' Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:15" @ So I turned and came down from the mountain while the mountain was burning with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:16" @And I saw that you had indeed sinned against the LORD your God. You had made for yourselves a molten calf; you had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:17" @I took hold of the two tablets and threw them from my hands and smashed them before your eyes.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:18" @ I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke Him to anger.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:19" @For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was wrathful against you in order to destroy you, but the LORD listened to me that time also.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:20" @The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him; so I also prayed for Aaron at the same time.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:21" @ I took your sinful thing, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it very small until it was as fine as dust; and I threw its dust into the brook that came down from the mountain.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:22" @Again at Taberah and at Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you provoked the LORD to wrath.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:23" @When the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ' Go up and possess the land which I have given you,' then you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God; you neither believed Him nor listened to His voice.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:24" @ You have been rebellious against the LORD from the day I knew you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:25" @ So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and nights, which I did because the LORD had said He would destroy you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:26" @ I prayed to the LORD and said, 'O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, even Your inheritance, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:27 @'Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look at the stubbornness of this people or at their wickedness or their sin.

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:28 @'Otherwise the land from which You brought us may say, " Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which He had promised them and because He hated them He has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness."

nasb@Deuteronomy:4:29 @'Yet they are Your people, even Your inheritance, whom You have brought out by Your great power and Your outstretched arm.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:1" @At that time the LORD said to me, ' Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone like the former ones, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood for yourself.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:2 @' I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered, and you shall put them in the ark.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:3" @So I made an ark of acacia wood and cut out two tablets of stone like the former ones, and went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:4" @He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the Ten Commandments which the LORD had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the LORD gave them to me.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:5" @Then I turned and came down from the mountain and put the tablets in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me."

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:6 @(Now the sons of Israel set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and there he was buried and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his place.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:7 @From there they set out to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:8 @At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him and to bless in His name until this day.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:9 @Therefore, Levi does not have a portion or inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, just as the LORD your God spoke to him.)

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:10" @ I, moreover, stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights like the first time, and the LORD listened to me that time also; the LORD was not willing to destroy you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:11" @Then the LORD said to me, 'Arise, proceed on your journey ahead of the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:12" @ Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require from you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:13 @and to keep the LORD'S commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:14" @Behold, to the LORD your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, the earth and all that is in it.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:15" @ Yet on your fathers did the LORD set His affection to love them, and He chose their descendants after them, even you above all peoples, as it is this day.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:16" @ So circumcise your heart, and stiffen your neck no longer.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:17" @ For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:18" @He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:19" @ So show your love for the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:20" @You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:21" @He is your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:22" @ Your fathers went down to Egypt seventy persons in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:11" @You shall therefore love the LORD your God, and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:2" @Know this day that I am not speaking with your sons who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the LORD your God--His greatness, His mighty hand and His outstretched arm,

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:3 @and His signs and His works which He did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt and to all his land;

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:4 @and what He did to Egypt's army, to its horses and its chariots, when He made the water of the Red Sea to engulf them while they were pursuing you, and the LORD completely destroyed them;

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:5 @and what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place;

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:6 @and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, among all Israel--

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:7 @but your own eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which He did.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:8" @You shall therefore keep every commandment which I am commanding you today, so that you may be strong and go in and possess the land into which you are about to cross to possess it;

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:9 @so that you may prolong your days on the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:10" @For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your foot like a vegetable garden.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:11" @But the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven,

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:12 @a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning even to the end of the year.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:13" @It shall come about, if you listen obediently to my commandments which I am commanding you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul,

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:14 @that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:15" @ He will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:16" @ Beware that your hearts are not deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods and worship them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:17" @Or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and He will shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain and the ground will not yield its fruit; and you will perish quickly from the good land which the LORD is giving you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:18" @ You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:19" @ You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:20" @ You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:21 @so that your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied on the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens remain above the earth.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:22" @For if you are careful to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him,

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:23 @then the LORD will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:24" @ Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours; your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as the western sea.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:3" @ You shall tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and burn their Asherim with fire, and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods and obliterate their name from that place.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:4" @You shall not act like this toward the LORD your God.

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:5" @ But you shall seek the LORD at the place which the LORD your God will choose from all your tribes, to establish His name there for His dwelling, and there you shall come.

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:21" @Then the LORD will single him out for adversity from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant which are written in this book of the law.

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:22" @Now the generation to come, your sons who rise up after you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of the land and the diseases with which the LORD has afflicted it, will say,

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:23 @'All its land is brimstone and salt, a burning waste, unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:24" @All the nations will say, ' Why has the LORD done thus to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:25" @Then men will say, ' Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:26 @'They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have not known and whom He had not allotted to them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:2 @and you return to the LORD your God and obey Him with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons,

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:3 @then the LORD your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:11" @For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:12" @It is not in heaven, that you should say, ' Who will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:13" @Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:14" @But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:16 @in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:17" @But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:18 @I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:19" @ I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:20 @by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:1 @So Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:2 @And he said to them, "I am a hundred and twenty years old today; I am no longer able to come and go, and the LORD has said to me, ' You shall not cross this Jordan.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:3" @ It is the LORD your God who will cross ahead of you; He will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of you, just as the LORD has spoken.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:4" @The LORD will do to them just as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when He destroyed them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:5" @ The LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:6" @ Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:7 @Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, " Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:8" @ The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:9 @So Moses wrote this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:10 @Then Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of every seven years, at the time of the year of remission of debts, at the Feast of Booths,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:11 @when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place which He will choose, you shall read this law in front of all Israel in their hearing.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:12" @Assemble the people, the men and the women and children and the alien who is in your town, so that they may hear and learn and fear the LORD your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:13" @Their children, who have not known, will hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live on the land which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:14 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, the time for you to die is near; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may commission him." So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:15 @The LORD appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood at the doorway of the tent.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:16 @The LORD said to Moses, "Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers; and this people will arise and play the harlot with the strange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going, and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:17" @ Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will come upon them; so that they will say in that day, ' Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come upon us?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:18" @But I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they will do, for they will turn to other gods.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:19" @Now therefore, write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the sons of Israel; put it on their lips, so that this song may be a witness for Me against the sons of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:20" @ For when I bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and are satisfied and become prosperous, then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and spurn Me and break My covenant.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:21" @Then it shall come about, when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song will testify before them as a witness (for it shall not be forgotten from the lips of their descendants); for I know their intent which they are developing today, before I have brought them into the land which I swore."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:22 @So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the sons of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:23 @Then He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, " Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land which I swore to them, and I will be with you."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:24 @It came about, when Moses finished writing the words of this law in a book until they were complete,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:25 @that Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:26" @Take this book of the law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may remain there as a witness against you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:27" @For I know your rebellion and your stubbornness; behold, while I am still alive with you today, you have been rebellious against the LORD; how much more, then, after my death?

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:28" @Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to witness against them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:29" @For I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days, for you will do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of your hands."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:30 @Then Moses spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were complete-

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:32" @ Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:2" @ Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As the droplets on the fresh grass And as the showers on the herb.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:3" @ For I proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe greatness to our God!

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:4" @ The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:5" @ They have acted corruptly toward Him, They are not His children, because of their defect; But are a perverse and crooked generation.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:6" @Do you thus repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is not He your Father who has bought you? He has made you and established you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:7" @Remember the days of old, Consider the years of all generations. Ask your father, and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:8" @ When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, When He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:9" @ For the LORD'S portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:10" @ He found him in a desert land, And in the howling waste of a wilderness; He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:11" @ Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, That hovers over its young, He spread His wings and caught them, He carried them on His pinions.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:12" @ The LORD alone guided him, And there was no foreign god with him.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:13" @ He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And He made him suck honey from the rock, And oil from the flinty rock,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:14 @Curds of cows, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams, the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat-- And of the blood of grapes you drank wine.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:15" @ But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked-- You are grown fat, thick, and sleek-- Then he forsook God who made him, And scorned the Rock of his salvation.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:16" @ They made Him jealous with strange gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:17" @ They sacrificed to demons who were not God, To gods whom they have not known, New gods who came lately, Whom your fathers did not dread.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:18" @You neglected the Rock who begot you, And forgot the God who gave you birth.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:19" @ The LORD saw this, and spurned them Because of the provocation of His sons and daughters.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:20" @Then He said, 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faithfulness.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:21 @' They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:22 @For a fire is kindled in My anger, And burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And consumes the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:23 @' I will heap misfortunes on them; I will use My arrows on them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:24 @' They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:28" @ For they are a nation lacking in counsel, And there is no understanding in them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:29" @ Would that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would discern their future!

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:30" @ How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And the LORD had given them up?

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:31" @Indeed their rock is not like our Rock, Even our enemies themselves judge this.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:32" @For their vine is from the vine of Sodom, And from the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of poison, Their clusters, bitter.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:33" @Their wine is the venom of serpents, And the deadly poison of cobras.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:34 @' Is it not laid up in store with Me, Sealed up in My treasuries?

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:35 @' Vengeance is Mine, and retribution, In due time their foot will slip; For the day of their calamity is near, And the impending things are hastening upon them.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:36" @ For the LORD will vindicate His people, And will have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their strength is gone, And there is none remaining, bond or free.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:37" @And He will say, ' Where are their gods, The rock in which they sought refuge?

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:38 @' Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your hiding place!

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:39 @' See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:40 @'Indeed, I lift up My hand to heaven, And say, as I live forever,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:41 @If I sharpen My flashing sword, And My hand takes hold on justice, I will render vengeance on My adversaries, And I will repay those who hate Me.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:42 @' I will make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword will devour flesh, With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the long-haired leaders of the enemy.'

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:43" @ Rejoice, O nations, with His people; For He will avenge the blood of His servants, And will render vengeance on His adversaries, And will atone for His land and His people."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:44 @Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he, with Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:45 @When Moses had finished speaking all these words to all Israel,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:46 @he said to them, " Take to your heart all the words with which I am warning you today, which you shall command your sons to observe carefully, even all the words of this law.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:47" @For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life. And by this word you will prolong your days in the land, which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:48 @The LORD spoke to Moses that very same day, saying,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:49" @ Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:50" @Then die on the mountain where you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:51 @because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:52" @ For you shall see the land at a distance, but you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving the sons of Israel."

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:1 @Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:2 @He said, " The LORD came from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran, And He came from the midst of ten thousand holy ones; At His right hand there was flashing lightning for them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:3" @ Indeed, He loves the people; All Your holy ones are in Your hand, And they followed in Your steps; Everyone receives of Your words.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:4" @ Moses charged us with a law, A possession for the assembly of Jacob.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:5" @ And He was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, The tribes of Israel together.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:20 @Of Gad he said, "Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad; He lies down as a lion, And tears the arm, also the crown of the head.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:21" @ Then he provided the first part for himself, For there the ruler's portion was reserved; And he came with the leaders of the people; He executed the justice of the LORD, And His ordinances with Israel."

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:22 @Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's whelp, That leaps forth from Bashan."

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:23 @Of Naphtali he said, " O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, And full of the blessing of the LORD, Take possession of the sea and the south."

nasb@Joshua:1:22 @They departed and came to the hill country, and remained there for three days until the pursuers returned. Now the pursuers had sought them all along the road, but had not found them.

nasb@Joshua:2:4" @However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before."

nasb@Joshua:2:7 @Now the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you.

nasb@Joshua:2:10 @Joshua said, "By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will assuredly dispossess from before you the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite.

nasb@Joshua:2:12" @Now then, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.

nasb@Joshua:2:4 @Now when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,

nasb@Joshua:2:15 @Now the LORD said to Joshua,

nasb@Joshua:2:19 @Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:2:24 @that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, so that you may fear the LORD your God forever."

nasb@Joshua:3:1 @Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed, that their hearts melted, and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:3:5 @For all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

nasb@Joshua:3:6 @For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD, to whom the LORD had sworn that He would not let them see the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

nasb@Joshua:3:7 @Their children whom He raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them along the way.

nasb@Joshua:3:8 @Now when they had finished circumcising all the nation, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed.

nasb@Joshua:3:12 @The manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.

nasb@Joshua:3:13 @Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing 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?"

nasb@Joshua:3:14 @He said, "No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?"

nasb@Joshua:4:1 @Now Jericho was tightly shut because of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no one came in.

nasb@Joshua:4:10 @But Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard nor let a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you, 'Shout!' Then you shall shout!"

nasb@Joshua:4:12 @Now Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:4:18" @But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not covet them and take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed and bring trouble on it.

nasb@Joshua:5:2 @Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:3 @They returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; only about two or three thousand men need go up to Ai; do not make all the people toil up there, for they are few."

nasb@Joshua:5:12" @Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, for they have become accursed. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things under the ban from your midst.

nasb@Joshua:5:13" @Rise up! Consecrate the people and say, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for thus the LORD, the God of Israel, has said, " There are things under the ban in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you have removed the things under the ban from your midst."

nasb@Joshua:5:19 @Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I implore you, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and give praise to Him; and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me."

nasb@Joshua:5:8 @Now the LORD said to Joshua, " Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.

nasb@Joshua:5:4 @He commanded them, saying, "See, you are going to ambush the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

nasb@Joshua:5:10 @Now Joshua rose early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people to Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:11 @Then all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near and arrived in front of the city, and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:13 @So they stationed the people, all the army that was on the north side of the city, and its rear guard on the west side of the city, and Joshua spent that night in the midst of the valley.

nasb@Joshua:5:14 @It came about when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose up early and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:17 @So not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel, and they left the city unguarded and pursued Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:20 @When the men of Ai turned back and looked, behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the sky, and they had no place to flee this way or that, for the people who had been fleeing to the wilderness turned against the pursuers.

nasb@Joshua:5:22 @The others came out from the city to encounter them, so that they were trapped in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they slew them until no one was left of those who survived or escaped.

nasb@Joshua:5:24 @Now when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the wilderness where they pursued them, and all of them were fallen by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Joshua:5:26 @For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he stretched out the javelin until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:31 @just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no man had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

nasb@Joshua:5:35 @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 and the little ones and the strangers who were living among them.

nasb@Joshua:6:1 @Now it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland and on all the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, heard of it,

nasb@Joshua:6:6 @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."

nasb@Joshua:6:11" @So our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, 'Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them, " We are your servants; now then, make a covenant with us."'

nasb@Joshua:6:12" @This our bread was warm when we took it for our provisions out of our houses on the day that we left to come to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become crumbled.

nasb@Joshua:6:14 @So the men of Israel took some of their provisions, and did not ask for the counsel of the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:6:17 @Then the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.

nasb@Joshua:6:18 @The sons of Israel did not strike them because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.

nasb@Joshua:6:19 @But all the leaders said to the whole congregation, "We have sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.

nasb@Joshua:6:20" @This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be upon us for the oath which we swore to them."

nasb@Joshua:6:23" @Now therefore, you are cursed, and you shall never cease being slaves, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."

nasb@Joshua:6:25" @Now behold, we are in your hands; do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us."

nasb@Joshua:6:26 @Thus he did to them, and delivered them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did not kill them.

nasb@Joshua:7:1 @Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were within their land,

nasb@Joshua:7:6 @Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us."

nasb@Joshua:7:8 @The LORD said to Joshua, " Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; not one of them shall stand before you."

nasb@Joshua:7:13 @So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

nasb@Joshua:7:14 @There was no day like that before it or after it, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

nasb@Joshua:7:16 @Now these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

nasb@Joshua:7:19 @but do not stay there yourselves; pursue your enemies and attack them in the rear. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."

nasb@Joshua:7:21 @that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one uttered a word against any of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:7:25 @Joshua then said to them, " Do not fear or be dismayed! Be strong and courageous, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies with whom you fight."

nasb@Joshua:7:28 @Now Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Thus he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:7:30 @The LORD gave it also with its king into the hands of Israel, and he struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor in it. Thus he did to its king just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:7:33 @Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua defeated him and his people until he had left him no survivor.

nasb@Joshua:7:37 @They captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who were in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it.

nasb@Joshua:7:39 @He captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Just as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had also done to Libnah and its king.

nasb@Joshua:7:40 @Thus Joshua struck all the land, the hill country and the Negev and the lowland and the slopes and all their kings. He left no survivor, but he utterly destroyed all who breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.

nasb@Joshua:8:2 @and to the kings who were of the north in the hill country, and in the Arabah--south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and on the heights of Dor on the west--

nasb@Joshua:8:6 @Then the LORD said to Joshua, " Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

nasb@Joshua:8:8 @The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, so that they defeated them, and pursued them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim and the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they struck them until no survivor was left to them.

nasb@Joshua:8:11 @They struck every person who was in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was no one left who breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire.

nasb@Joshua:8:13 @However, Israel did not burn any cities that stood on their mounds, except Hazor alone, which Joshua burned.

nasb@Joshua:8:14 @All the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took as their plunder; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They left no one who breathed.

nasb@Joshua:8:15 @Just as the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Joshua:8:17 @from Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir, even as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon. And he captured all their kings and struck them down and put them to death.

nasb@Joshua:8:19 @There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle.

nasb@Joshua:8:20 @For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might utterly destroy them, that they might receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Joshua:8:22 @There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained.

nasb@Joshua:9:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east-

nasb@Joshua:9:2 @Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, both the middle of the valley and half of Gilead, even as far as the brook Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon;

nasb@Joshua:9:7 @Now these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel defeated beyond the Jordan toward the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even as far as Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

nasb@Joshua:9:13 @Now Joshua was old and advanced in years when the LORD said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.

nasb@Joshua:9:3 @from the Shihor which is east of Egypt, even as far as the border of Ekron to the north (it is counted as Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines- the Gazite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, the Ekronite; and the Avvite

nasb@Joshua:9:5 @and the land of the Gebalite, and all of Lebanon, toward the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon as far as Lebo-hamath.

nasb@Joshua:9:6" @All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians, I will drive them out from before the sons of Israel; only allot it to Israel for an inheritance as I have commanded you.

nasb@Joshua:9:7" @Now therefore, apportion this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh."

nasb@Joshua:9:9 @from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba, as far as Dibon;

nasb@Joshua:9:13 @But the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites or the Maacathites; for Geshur and Maacath live among Israel until this day.

nasb@Joshua:9:14 @Only to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He spoke to him.

nasb@Joshua:9:16 @Their territory was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley and all the plain by Medeba;

nasb@Joshua:9:33 @But to the tribe of Levi, Moses did not give an inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as He had promised to them.

nasb@Joshua:10:1 @Now these are the territories which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned to them for an inheritance,

nasb@Joshua:10:3 @For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan; but he did not give an inheritance to the Levites among them.

nasb@Joshua:10:4 @For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.

nasb@Joshua:10:6 @Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know the word which the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea.

nasb@Joshua:10:10" @Now behold, the LORD has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today.

nasb@Joshua:10:11" @ I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.

nasb@Joshua:10:12" @Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken."

nasb@Joshua:10:15 @Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba; for Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

nasb@Joshua:11:1 @Now the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families reached the border of Edom, southward to the wilderness of Zin at the extreme south.

nasb@Joshua:11:5 @The east border was the Salt Sea, as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.

nasb@Joshua:11:6 @Then the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and continued on the north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:11:7 @The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and it ended at En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:11:8 @Then the border went up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the slope of the Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is before the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north.

nasb@Joshua:11:10 @The border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through Timnah.

nasb@Joshua:11:11 @The border proceeded to the side of Ekron northward. Then the border curved to Shikkeron and continued to Mount Baalah and proceeded to Jabneel, and the border ended at the sea.

nasb@Joshua:11:13 @Now he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the command of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).

nasb@Joshua:11:15 @Then he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.

nasb@Joshua:11:21 @Now the cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the south were Kabzeel and Eder and Jagur,

nasb@Joshua:11:34 @and Zanoah and En-gannim, Tappuah and Enam,

nasb@Joshua:11:56 @and Jezreel and Jokdeam and Zanoah,

nasb@Joshua:11:59 @and Maarath and Beth-anoth and Eltekon; six cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:11:63 @Now as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not drive them out; so the Jebusites live with the sons of Judah at Jerusalem until this day.

nasb@Joshua:12:5 @Now this was the territory of the sons of Ephraim according to their families- the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, as far as upper Beth-horon.

nasb@Joshua:12:6 @Then the border went westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah.

nasb@Joshua:12:7 @It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

nasb@Joshua:12:10 @But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.

nasb@Joshua:13:1 @Now this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.

nasb@Joshua:13:3 @However, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters- Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

nasb@Joshua:13:9 @The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook (these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and it ended at the sea.

nasb@Joshua:13:10 @The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh, and the sea was their border; and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east.

nasb@Joshua:13:12 @But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

nasb@Joshua:13:13 @It came about when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

nasb@Joshua:13:16 @The sons of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns and those who are in the valley of Jezreel."

nasb@Joshua:13:17 @Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, "You are a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only,

nasb@Joshua:14:5" @They shall divide it into seven portions; Judah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall stay in their territory on the north.

nasb@Joshua:14:7" @For the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

nasb@Joshua:14:11 @Now the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot lay between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

nasb@Joshua:14:12 @Their border on the north side was from the Jordan, then the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward, and it ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

nasb@Joshua:14:16 @The border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:14:17 @It extended northward and went to En-shemesh and went to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:14:19 @The border continued to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

nasb@Joshua:14:21 @Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz,

nasb@Joshua:15:10 @Now the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families. And the territory of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

nasb@Joshua:15:14 @The border circled around it on the north to Hannathon, and it ended at the valley of Iphtahel.

nasb@Joshua:15:24 @Now the fifth lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:27 @It turned toward the east to Beth-dagon and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel; then it proceeded on north to Cabul,

nasb@Joshua:15:34 @Then the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor and proceeded from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south and touched Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the east.

nasb@Joshua:15:5 @'Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without premeditation and did not hate him beforehand.

nasb@Joshua:16:44 @And the LORD gave them rest on every side, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the LORD gave all their enemies into their hand.

nasb@Joshua:17:7 @Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave a possession among their brothers westward beyond the Jordan. So when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

nasb@Joshua:17:26" @Therefore we said, 'Let us build an altar, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice;

nasb@Joshua:17:27 @rather it shall be a witness between us and you and between our generations after us, that we are to perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your sons will not say to our sons in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'

nasb@Joshua:17:28" @Therefore we said, 'It shall also come about if they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, then we shall say, "See the copy of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice; rather it is a witness between us and you."'

nasb@Joshua:17:31 @And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD is in our midst, because you have not committed this unfaithful act against the LORD; now you have delivered the sons of Israel from the hand of the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:17:33 @The word pleased the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God; and they did not speak of going up against them in war to destroy the land in which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living.

nasb@Joshua:18:1 @Now it came about after many days, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on every side, and Joshua was old, advanced in years,

nasb@Joshua:18:6" @ Be very firm, then, to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

nasb@Joshua:18:7 @so that you will not associate with these nations, these which remain among you, or mention the name of their gods, or make anyone swear by them, or serve them, or bow down to them.

nasb@Joshua:18:9" @ For the LORD has driven out great and strong nations from before you; and as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.

nasb@Joshua:18:13 @know with certainty that the LORD your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they will be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nasb@Joshua:18:14" @Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the LORD your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed.

nasb@Joshua:19:10 @'But I was not willing to listen to Balaam. So he had to bless you, and I delivered you from his hand.

nasb@Joshua:19:12 @'Then I sent the hornet before you and it drove out the two kings of the Amorites from before you, but not by your sword or your bow.

nasb@Joshua:19:13 @' I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you have lived in them; you are eating of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.'

nasb@Joshua:19:14" @Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:19:19 @Then Joshua said to the people, "You will not be able to serve the LORD, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgression or your sins.

nasb@Joshua:19:21 @The people said to Joshua, "No, but we will serve the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:19:23" @Now therefore, put away the foreign gods which are in your midst, and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel."

nasb@Joshua:19:27 @Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be for a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us; thus it shall be for a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God."

nasb@Joshua:19:30 @And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash.

nasb@Joshua:19:31 @Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, and had known all the deeds of the LORD which He had done for Israel.

nasb@Joshua:19:32 @Now they buried the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the piece of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of Joseph's sons.

nasb@Judges:1:1 @Now it came about after the death of Joshua that the sons of Israel inquired of the LORD, saying, "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"

nasb@Judges:1:10 @So Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba); and they struck Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.

nasb@Judges:1:11 @Then from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir (now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher).

nasb@Judges:1:19 @Now the LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had iron chariots.

nasb@Judges:1:21 @But the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem; so the Jebusites have lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

nasb@Judges:1:23 @The house of Joseph spied out Bethel ( now the name of the city was formerly Luz).

nasb@Judges:1:27 @But Manasseh did not take possession 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; so the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

nasb@Judges:1:28 @It came about when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

nasb@Judges:1:29 @Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer; so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

nasb@Judges:1:30 @Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and became subject to forced labor.

nasb@Judges:1:31 @Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, or of Achzib, or of Helbah, or of Aphik, or of Rehob.

nasb@Judges:1:32 @So the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

nasb@Judges:1:33 @Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.

nasb@Judges:1:34 @Then the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the valley;

nasb@Judges:2:1 @Now the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, " I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, ' I will never break My covenant with you,

nasb@Judges:2:2 @and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done?

nasb@Judges:2:3" @Therefore I also said, ' I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.'"

nasb@Judges:2:9 @And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

nasb@Judges:2:10 @All that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, nor yet the work which He had done for Israel.

nasb@Judges:2:14 @The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

nasb@Judges:2:17 @Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed themselves down to them. They turned aside quickly from the way in which their fathers had walked in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do as their fathers.

nasb@Judges:2:19 @But it came about when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their stubborn ways.

nasb@Judges:2:20 @So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers and has not listened to My voice,

nasb@Judges:2:21 @I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,

nasb@Judges:2:22 @in order to test Israel by them, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it as their fathers did, or not."

nasb@Judges:2:23 @So the LORD allowed those nations to remain, not driving them out quickly; and He did not give them into the hand of Joshua.

nasb@Judges:3:1 @Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them (that is, all who had not experienced any of the wars of Canaan;

nasb@Judges:3:2 @only in order that the generations of the sons of Israel might be taught war, those who had not experienced it formerly).

nasb@Judges:3:3 @These nations are- the five lords of the Philistines and all the Canaanites and the Sidonians and the Hivites who lived in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as Lebo-hamath.

nasb@Judges:3:12 @Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@Judges:3:17 @He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.

nasb@Judges:3:22 @The handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the refuse came out.

nasb@Judges:3:25 @They waited until they became anxious; but behold, he did not open the doors of the roof chamber. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their master had fallen to the floor dead.

nasb@Judges:3:26 @Now Ehud escaped while they were delaying, and he passed by the idols and escaped to Seirah.

nasb@Judges:3:28 @He said to them, "Pursue them, for the LORD has given your enemies the Moabites into your hands." So they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan opposite Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross.

nasb@Judges:3:29 @They struck down at that time about ten thousand Moabites, all robust and valiant men; and no one escaped.

nasb@Judges:4:4 @Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

nasb@Judges:4:6 @Now she sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, "Behold, the LORD, the God of Israel, has commanded, 'Go and march to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.

nasb@Judges:4:8 @Then Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."

nasb@Judges:4:9 @She said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hands of a woman." Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

nasb@Judges:4:11 @Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.

nasb@Judges:4:12 @Then they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.

nasb@Judges:4:16 @But Barak pursued the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not even one was left.

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

nasb@Judges:4:18 @Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me! Do not be afraid." And he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

nasb@Judges:4:20 @He said to her, "Stand in the doorway of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there anyone here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"

nasb@Judges:4:5 @Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,

nasb@Judges:4:8" @ New gods were chosen; Then war was in the gates. Not a shield or a spear was seen Among forty thousand in Israel.

nasb@Judges:4:12" @ Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and take away your captives, O son of Abinoam.

nasb@Judges:4:13" @Then survivors came down to the nobles; The people of the LORD came down to me as warriors.

nasb@Judges:4:19" @ The kings came and fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan At Taanach near the waters of Megiddo; They took no plunder in silver.

nasb@Judges:4:23 @'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD, 'Utterly curse its inhabitants; Because they did not come to the help of the LORD, To the help of the LORD against the warriors.'

nasb@Judges:4:30 @' Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A maiden, two maidens for every warrior; To Sisera a spoil of dyed work, A spoil of dyed work embroidered, Dyed work of double embroidery on the neck of the spoiler?'

nasb@Judges:5:4 @So they would camp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel as well as no sheep, ox, or donkey.

nasb@Judges:5:7 @Now it came about when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD on account of Midian,

nasb@Judges:5:10 @and I said to you, "I am the LORD your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. But you have not obeyed Me."'"

nasb@Judges:5:13 @Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian."

nasb@Judges:5:14 @The LORD looked at him and said, " Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?"

nasb@Judges:5:17 @So Gideon said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who speak with me.

nasb@Judges:5:18" @Please do not depart from here, until I come back to You, and bring out my offering and lay it before You." And He said, "I will remain until you return."

nasb@Judges:5:22 @When Gideon saw that he was the angel of the LORD, he said, "Alas, O Lord GOD! For now I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face."

nasb@Judges:5:23 @The LORD said to him, "Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die."

nasb@Judges:5:25 @Now on the same night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;

nasb@Judges:5:29 @They said to one another, "Who did this thing?" And when they searched about and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Joash did this thing."

nasb@Judges:5:37 @behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken."

nasb@Judges:5:39 @Then Gideon said to God, " Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground."

nasb@Judges:6:1 @Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him, rose early and camped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

nasb@Judges:6:3" @Now therefore come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ' Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.'" So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained.

nasb@Judges:6:4 @Then 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. Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go."

nasb@Judges:6:6 @Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water.

nasb@Judges:6:9 @Now the same night it came about that the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands.

nasb@Judges:6:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.

nasb@Judges:6:14 @His friend replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand."

nasb@Judges:6:22 @When they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.

nasb@Judges:7:1 @Then the men of Ephraim said to him, " What is this thing you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight against Midian?" And they contended with him vigorously.

nasb@Judges:7:2 @But he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

nasb@Judges:7:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about 15,000 men, all who were left of the entire army of the sons of the east; for the fallen were 120,000 swordsmen.

nasb@Judges:7:11 @Gideon went up by the way of those who lived in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and attacked the camp when the camp was unsuspecting.

nasb@Judges:7:19 @He said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if only you had let them live, I would not kill you."

nasb@Judges:7:20 @So he said to Jether his firstborn, "Rise, kill them." But the youth did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

nasb@Judges:7:23 @But Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you."

nasb@Judges:7:28 @So Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their heads anymore. And the land was undisturbed for forty years in the days of Gideon.

nasb@Judges:7:30 @Now Gideon had seventy sons who were his direct descendants, for he had many wives.

nasb@Judges:7:34 @Thus the sons of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side;

nasb@Judges:7:35 @nor did they show kindness to the household of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) in accord with all the good that he had done to Israel.

nasb@Judges:7:2" @Speak, now, in the hearing of all the leaders of Shechem, 'Which is better for you, that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or that one man rule over you?' Also, remember that I am your bone and your flesh."

nasb@Judges:7:7 @Now when they told Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted his voice and called out. Thus he said to them, "Listen to me, O men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

nasb@Judges:7:8" @Once the trees went forth to anoint a king over them, and they said to the olive tree, 'Reign over us!'

nasb@Judges:7:9" @But the olive tree said to them, 'Shall I leave my fatness with which God and men are honored, and go to wave over the trees?'

nasb@Judges:7:15" @The bramble said to the trees, 'If in truth you are anointing me as king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, may fire come out from the bramble and consume the cedars of Lebanon.'

nasb@Judges:7:16" @Now therefore, if you have dealt in truth and integrity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have dealt with him as he deserved--

nasb@Judges:7:20" @But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and consume the men of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from Beth-millo, and consume Abimelech."

nasb@Judges:7:22 @Now Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.

nasb@Judges:7:26 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.

nasb@Judges:7:28 @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 Zebul not his lieutenant? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

nasb@Judges:7:32" @Now therefore, arise by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field.

nasb@Judges:7:35 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the city gate; and Abimelech and the people who were with him arose from the ambush.

nasb@Judges:7:38 @Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your boasting now with which you said, 'Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?' Is this not the people whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them!"

nasb@Judges:7:41 @Then Abimelech remained at Arumah, but Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives so that they could not remain in Shechem.

nasb@Judges:7:42 @Now it came about the next day, that the people went out to the field, and it was told to Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:54 @Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that it will not be said of me, 'A woman slew him.'" So the young man pierced him through, and he died.

nasb@Judges:8:1 @Now after Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:8:6 @Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

nasb@Judges:8:11 @The LORD said to the sons of Israel, "Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines?

nasb@Judges:8:13" @Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer deliver you.

nasb@Judges:8:16 @So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer.

nasb@Judges:8:18 @The people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the sons of AmmonNULL He shall become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:1 @Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a valiant warrior, but he was the son of a harlot. And Gilead was the father of Jephthah.

nasb@Judges:9:2 @Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman."

nasb@Judges:9:7 @Then Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, " Did you not hate me and drive me from my father's house? So why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?"

nasb@Judges:9:8 @The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight with the sons of Ammon and become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:12 @Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, "What is between you and me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"

nasb@Judges:9:13 @The king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up from Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan; therefore, return them peaceably now."

nasb@Judges:9:15 @and they said to him, "Thus says Jephthah, 'Israel did not take away the land of Moab nor the land of the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Judges:9:17 @then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, "Please let us pass through your land," but the king of Edom would not listen. And they also sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

nasb@Judges:9:18 @'Then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

nasb@Judges:9:20 @'But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people and camped in Jahaz and fought with Israel.

nasb@Judges:9:22 @' So they possessed all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and from the wilderness as far as the Jordan.

nasb@Judges:9:23 @'Since now the LORD, the God of Israel, drove out the Amorites from before His people Israel, are you then to possess it?

nasb@Judges:9:24 @'Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the LORD our God has driven out before us, we will possess it.

nasb@Judges:9:25 @'Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive with Israel, or did he ever fight against them?

nasb@Judges:9:26 @' While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?

nasb@Judges:9:27 @'I therefore have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by making war against me; may the LORD, the Judge, judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.'"

nasb@Judges:9:29 @Now the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, so that he passed through Gilead and Manasseh; then he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he went on to the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Judges:9:34 @When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, behold, his daughter was coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing. Now she was his one and only child; besides her he had no son or daughter.

nasb@Judges:9:35 @When he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, "Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are among those who trouble me; for I have given my word to the LORD, and I cannot take it back."

nasb@Judges:9:39 @At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did to her according to the vow which he had made; and she had no relations with a man. Thus it became a custom in Israel,

nasb@Judges:10:3" @When I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?"

nasb@Judges:10:5 @The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Ephraim. And it happened when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No,"

nasb@Judges:10:6 @then they would say to him, "Say now, 'Shibboleth.'" But he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:10:8 @Now Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel after him.

nasb@Judges:10:11 @Now Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel after him; and he judged Israel ten years.

nasb@Judges:10:13 @Now Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel after him.

nasb@Judges:11:1 @Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, so that the LORD gave them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.

nasb@Judges:11:2 @There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had borne no children.

nasb@Judges:11:3 @Then the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and give birth to a son.

nasb@Judges:11:4" @Now therefore, be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing.

nasb@Judges:11:5" @ For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

nasb@Judges:11:6 @Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, " A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.

nasb@Judges:11:7" @But he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.'"

nasb@Judges:11:8 @Then Manoah entreated the LORD and said, "O Lord, please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again that he may teach us what to do for the boy who is to be born."

nasb@Judges:11:9 @God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

nasb@Judges:11:11 @Then Manoah arose and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" And he said, "I am."

nasb@Judges:11:12 @Manoah said, "Now when your words come to pass, what shall be the boy's mode of life and his vocation?"

nasb@Judges:11:13 @So the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, " Let the woman pay attention to all that I said.

nasb@Judges:11:14" @She should not eat anything that comes from the vine nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; let her observe all that I commanded."

nasb@Judges:11:15 @Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Please let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you."

nasb@Judges:11:16 @The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.

nasb@Judges:11:17 @Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, " What is your name, so that when your words come to pass, we may honor you?"

nasb@Judges:11:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, and He performed wonders while Manoah and his wife looked on.

nasb@Judges:11:20 @For it came about when the flame went up from the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground.

nasb@Judges:11:21 @Now the angel of the LORD did not appear to Manoah or his wife again. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD.

nasb@Judges:11:22 @So Manoah said to his wife, " We will surely die, for we have seen God."

nasb@Judges:11:23 @But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have let us hear things like this at this time."

nasb@Judges:12:2 @So he came back and told his father and mother, "I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife."

nasb@Judges:12:3 @Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she looks good to me."

nasb@Judges:12:4 @However, his father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

nasb@Judges:12:6 @The Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, so that he tore him as one tears a young goat though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

nasb@Judges:12:9 @So he scraped the honey into his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it; but he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.

nasb@Judges:12:12 @Then Samson said to them, "Let me now propound a riddle to you; if you will indeed tell it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes.

nasb@Judges:12:14 @So he said to them, "Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet." But they could not tell the riddle in three days.

nasb@Judges:12:15 @Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson's wife, " Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?"

nasb@Judges:12:16 @Samson's wife wept before him and said, " You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?"

nasb@Judges:12:18 @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 found out my riddle."

nasb@Judges:13:1 @But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat, and said, "I will go in to my wife in her room." But her father did not let him enter.

nasb@Judges:13:2 @Her father said, "I really thought that you hated her intensely; so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please let her be yours instead."

nasb@Judges:13:11 @Then 3,000 men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."

nasb@Judges:13:12 @They said to him, "We have come down to bind you so that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me."

nasb@Judges:13:13 @So they said to him, "No, but we will bind you fast and give you into their hands; yet surely we will not kill you." Then they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.

nasb@Judges:13:18 @Then he became very thirsty, and he called to the LORD and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant, and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?"

nasb@Judges:14:1 @Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her.

nasb@Judges:14:3 @Now Samson lay until midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two posts and pulled them up along with the bars; then he put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the mountain which is opposite Hebron.

nasb@Judges:14:7 @Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:8 @Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords that had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

nasb@Judges:14:9 @Now she had men lying in wait in an inner room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the cords as a string of tow snaps when it touches fire. So his strength was not discovered.

nasb@Judges:14:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Behold, you have deceived me and told me lies; now please tell me how you may be bound."

nasb@Judges:14:11 @He said to her, "If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web [and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:15 @Then she said to him, " How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have deceived me these three times and have not told me where your great strength is."

nasb@Judges:14:16 @It came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death.

nasb@Judges:14:20 @She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep and said, "I will go out as at other times and shake myself free." But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.

nasb@Judges:14:23 @Now the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice, for they said, "Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands."

nasb@Judges:14:27 @Now the house was full of men and women, and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And about 3,000 men and women were on the roof looking on while Samson was amusing them.

nasb@Judges:14:31 @Then his brothers and all his father's household came down, took him, brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. Thus he had judged Israel twenty years.

nasb@Judges:15:1 @Now there was a man of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Micah.

nasb@Judges:15:3 @He then returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, "I wholly dedicate the silver from my hand to the LORD for my son to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore, I will return them to you."

nasb@Judges:15:6 @In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.

nasb@Judges:15:7 @Now there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he was staying there.

nasb@Judges:15:13 @Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will prosper me, seeing I have a Levite as priest."

nasb@Judges:16:1 @In those days there was no king of Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for themselves to live in, for until that day an inheritance had not been allotted to them as a possession among the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Judges:16:5 @They said to him, "Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether our way on which we are going will be prosperous."

nasb@Judges:16:7 @Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were in it living in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no ruler humiliating them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.

nasb@Judges:16:9 @They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you sit still? Do not delay to go, to enter, to possess the land.

nasb@Judges:16:10" @When you enter, you will come to a secure people with a spacious land; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth."

nasb@Judges:16:14 @Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish said to their kinsmen, "Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod and household idols and a graven image and a molten image? Now therefore, consider what you should do."

nasb@Judges:16:17 @Now the five men who went to spy out the land went up and entered there, and took the graven image and the ephod and household idols and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

nasb@Judges:16:25 @The sons of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or else fierce men will fall upon you and you will lose your life, with the lives of your household."

nasb@Judges:16:28 @And there was no one to deliver them, because it was far from Sidon and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley which is near Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city and lived in it.

nasb@Judges:17:1 @Now it came about in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, who took a concubine for himself from Bethlehem in Judah.

nasb@Judges:17:5 @Now on the fourth day they got up early in the morning, and he prepared to go; and the girl's father said to his son-in-law, " Sustain yourself with a piece of bread, and afterward you may go."

nasb@Judges:17:8 @On the fifth day he arose to go early in the morning, and the girl's father said, "Please sustain yourself, and wait until afternoon"; so both of them ate.

nasb@Judges:17:9 @When the man arose to go along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, "Behold now, the day has drawn to a close; please spend the night. Lo, the day is coming to an end; spend the night here that your heart may be merry. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey so that you may go home."

nasb@Judges:17:10 @But the man was not willing to spend the night, so he arose and departed and came to a place opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a pair of saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him.

nasb@Judges:17:12 @However, his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; but we will go on as far as Gibeah."

nasb@Judges:17:15 @They turned aside there in order to enter and lodge in Gibeah. When they entered, they sat down in the open square of the city, for no one took them into his house to spend the night.

nasb@Judges:17:16 @Then behold, an old man was coming out of the field from his work at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying in Gibeah, but the men of the place were Benjamites.

nasb@Judges:17:18 @He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, for I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. But I am now going to my house, and no man will take me into his house.

nasb@Judges:17:19" @Yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for me, your maidservant, and the young man who is with your servants; there is no lack of anything."

nasb@Judges:17:20 @The old man said, " Peace to you. Only let me take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the open square."

nasb@Judges:17:23 @Then the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my fellows, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not commit this act of folly.

nasb@Judges:17:24" @ Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish. But do not commit such an act of folly against this man."

nasb@Judges:17:25 @But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn.

nasb@Judges:17:28 @He said to her, "Get up and let us go," but there was no answer. Then he placed her on the donkey; and the man arose and went to his home.

nasb@Judges:17:30 @All who saw it said, "Nothing like this has ever happened or been seen from the day when the sons of Israel came up from the land of Egypt to this day. Consider it, take counsel and speak up!"

nasb@Judges:18:3 @(Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness take place?"

nasb@Judges:18:8 @Then all the people arose as one man, saying, "Not one of us will go to his tent, nor will any of us return to his house.

nasb@Judges:18:9" @But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up against it by lot.

nasb@Judges:18:13" @Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:16 @Out of all these people 700 choice men were left-handed; each one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

nasb@Judges:18:18 @Now the sons of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God and said, "Who shall go up first for us to battle against the sons of Benjamin?" Then the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."

nasb@Judges:18:34 @When ten thousand choice men from all Israel came against Gibeah, the battle became fierce; but Benjamin did not know that disaster was close to them.

nasb@Judges:18:38 @Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise from the city.

nasb@Judges:19:1 @Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin in marriage."

nasb@Judges:19:5 @Then the sons of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up in the assembly to the LORD?" For they had taken a great oath concerning him who did not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nasb@Judges:19:7" @What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since we have sworn by the LORD not to give them any of our daughters in marriage?"

nasb@Judges:19:8 @And they said, "What one is there of the tribes of Israel who did not come up to the LORD at Mizpah?" And behold, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.

nasb@Judges:19:9 @For when the people were numbered, behold, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead was there.

nasb@Judges:19:12 @And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead 400 young virgins who had not known a man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

nasb@Judges:19:14 @Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had kept alive from the women of Jabesh-gilead; yet they were not enough for them.

nasb@Judges:19:17 @They said, "There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe will not be blotted out from Israel.

nasb@Judges:19:18" @But we cannot give them wives of our daughters." For the sons of Israel had sworn, saying, "Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin."

nasb@Judges:19:19 @So they said, "Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south side of Lebonah."

nasb@Judges:19:22" @It shall come about, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we shall say to them, 'Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.'"

nasb@Judges:19:25 @In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

nasb@Ruth:1:1 @Now it came about in the days when the judges governed, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.

nasb@Ruth:1:2 @The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi; and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. Now they entered the land of Moab and remained there.

nasb@Ruth:1:10 @And they said to her, "No, but we will surely return with you to your people."

nasb@Ruth:1:13 @would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is harder for me than for you, for the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me."

nasb@Ruth:1:16 @But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.

nasb@Ruth:1:18 @When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.

nasb@Ruth:1:20 @She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

nasb@Ruth:2:1 @Now Naomi had a kinsman of her husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.

nasb@Ruth:2:4 @Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, " May the LORD be with you." And they said to him, "May the LORD bless you."

nasb@Ruth:2:7" @And she said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' Thus she came and has remained from the morning until now; she has been sitting in the house for a little while."

nasb@Ruth:2:8 @Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen carefully, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but stay here with my maids.

nasb@Ruth:2:9" @Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Indeed, I have commanded the servants not to touch you. When you are thirsty, go to the water jars and drink from what the servants draw."

nasb@Ruth:2:10 @Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?"

nasb@Ruth:2:11 @Boaz replied to her, "All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know.

nasb@Ruth:2:13 @Then she said, "I have found favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and indeed have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants."

nasb@Ruth:2:15 @When she rose to glean, Boaz commanded his servants, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not insult her.

nasb@Ruth:2:16" @Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her."

nasb@Ruth:2:19 @Her mother-in-law then said to her, "Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz."

nasb@Ruth:2:20 @Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, " May he be blessed of the LORD who has not withdrawn his kindness to the living and to the dead." Again Naomi said to her, "The man is our relative, he is one of our closest relatives."

nasb@Ruth:2:22 @Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maids, so that others do not fall upon you in another field."

nasb@Ruth:2:3 @Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?

nasb@Ruth:2:2" @Now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maids you were? Behold, he winnows barley at the threshing floor tonight.

nasb@Ruth:2:3" @Wash yourself therefore, and anoint yourself and put on your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

nasb@Ruth:2:4" @It shall be when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go and uncover his feet and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall do."

nasb@Ruth:2:10 @Then he said, " May you be blessed of the LORD, my daughter. You have shown your last kindness to be better than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.

nasb@Ruth:2:11" @Now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you ask, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of excellence.

nasb@Ruth:2:12" @Now it is true I am a close relative; however, there is a relative closer than I.

nasb@Ruth:2:13" @Remain this night, and when morning comes, if he will redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to redeem you, then I will redeem you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until morning."

nasb@Ruth:2:14 @So she lay at his feet until morning and rose before one could recognize another; and he said, " Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

nasb@Ruth:2:17 @She said, "These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, 'Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'"

nasb@Ruth:2:18 @Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he has settled it today."

nasb@Ruth:3:1 @Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, "Turn aside, friend, sit down here." And he turned aside and sat down.

nasb@Ruth:3:4" @So I thought to inform you, saying, ' Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.'" And he said, "I will redeem it."

nasb@Ruth:3:6 @The closest relative said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, because I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, for I cannot redeem it."

nasb@Ruth:3:7 @Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the redemption and the exchange of land to confirm any matter- a man removed his sandal and gave it to another; and this was the manner of attestation in Israel.

nasb@Ruth:3:10" @Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the court of his birth place; you are witnesses today."

nasb@Ruth:3:14 @Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel.

nasb@Ruth:3:18 @Now these are the generations of Perez- to Perez was born Hezron,

nasb@1Samuel:1:1 @Now there was a certain man from Ramathaim-zophim from the hill country 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.

nasb@1Samuel:1:2 @He had two wives- the name of one was Hannah and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

nasb@1Samuel:1:3 @Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD there.

nasb@1Samuel:1:7 @It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat.

nasb@1Samuel:1:8 @Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"

nasb@1Samuel:1:9 @Then Hannah rose after eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:1:11 @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 son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head."

nasb@1Samuel:1:12 @Now it came about, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli was watching her mouth.

nasb@1Samuel:1:13 @As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.

nasb@1Samuel:1:15 @But Hannah replied, "No, my lord, I am a woman oppressed in spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:1:16" @Do not consider your maidservant as a worthless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation."

nasb@1Samuel:1:18 @She said, " Let your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

nasb@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD and stay there forever."

nasb@1Samuel:1:24 @Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh, although the child was young.

nasb@1Samuel:2:2" @ There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, there is no one besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.

nasb@1Samuel:2:3" @Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.

nasb@1Samuel:2:8" @ He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them.

nasb@1Samuel:2:9" @ He keeps the feet of His godly ones, But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness; For not by might shall a man prevail.

nasb@1Samuel:2:10" @ Those who contend with the LORD will be shattered; Against them He will thunder in the heavens, The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; And He will give strength to His king, And will exalt the horn of His anointed."

nasb@1Samuel:2:12 @Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the LORD

nasb@1Samuel:2:15 @Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take boiled meat from you, only raw."

nasb@1Samuel:2:16 @If the man said to him, "They must surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as you desire," then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."

nasb@1Samuel:2:18 @Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.

nasb@1Samuel:2:22 @Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@1Samuel:2:24" @No, my sons; for the report is not good which I hear the LORD'S people circulating.

nasb@1Samuel:2:25" @If one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death.

nasb@1Samuel:2:26 @Now the boy Samuel was growing in stature and in favor both with the LORD and with men.

nasb@1Samuel:2:27 @Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, ' Did I not indeed reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?

nasb@1Samuel:2:28 @' Did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me; and did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?

nasb@1Samuel:2:29 @'Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?'

nasb@1Samuel:2:30" @Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, ' I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever'; but now the LORD declares, 'Far be it from Me--for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed.

nasb@1Samuel:2:31 @'Behold, the days are coming when I will break your strength and the strength of your father's house so that there will not be an old man in your house.

nasb@1Samuel:3:1 @Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD before Eli. And word from the LORD was rare in those days, visions were infrequent.

nasb@1Samuel:3:2 @It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well),

nasb@1Samuel:3:3 @and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was,

nasb@1Samuel:3:5 @Then he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, lie down again." So he went and lay down.

nasb@1Samuel:3:6 @The LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he answered, "I did not call, my son, lie down again."

nasb@1Samuel:3:7 @Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor had the word of the LORD yet been revealed to him.

nasb@1Samuel:3:13" @For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them.

nasb@1Samuel:3:14" @Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever."

nasb@1Samuel:3:17 @He said, "What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you."

nasb@1Samuel:3:18 @So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, " It is the LORD; let Him do what seems good to Him."

nasb@1Samuel:3:19 @Thus Samuel grew and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fail.

nasb@1Samuel:4:1 @Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped beside Ebenezer while the Philistines camped in Aphek.

nasb@1Samuel:4:6 @When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the noise 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.

nasb@1Samuel:4:7 @The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp." And they said, " Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.

nasb@1Samuel:4:12 @Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn and dust on his head.

nasb@1Samuel:4:14 @When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, "What does the noise of this commotion mean?" Then the man came hurriedly and told Eli.

nasb@1Samuel:4:15 @Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were set so that he could not see.

nasb@1Samuel:4:19 @Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas's wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.

nasb@1Samuel:4:20 @And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, " Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention.

nasb@1Samuel:5:1 @Now the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

nasb@1Samuel:5:5 @Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor all who enter Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

nasb@1Samuel:5:6 @Now the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and smote them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories.

nasb@1Samuel:5:7 @When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god."

nasb@1Samuel:5:11 @They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a deadly confusion throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

nasb@1Samuel:5:12 @And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

nasb@1Samuel:6:1 @Now the ark of the LORD had been in the country of the Philistines seven months.

nasb@1Samuel:6:3 @They said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but you shall surely return to Him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you."

nasb@1Samuel:6:6" @Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He had severely dealt with them, did they not allow the people to go, and they departed?

nasb@1Samuel:6:7" @Now therefore, take and prepare a new cart and two milch cows on which there has never been a yoke; and hitch the cows to the cart and take their calves home, away from them.

nasb@1Samuel:6:9" @Watch, if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth-shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance."

nasb@1Samuel:6:12 @And the cows took the straight way in the direction of Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Beth-shemesh.

nasb@1Samuel:6:13 @Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they raised their eyes and saw the ark and were glad to see it.

nasb@1Samuel:7:7 @Now when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the sons of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

nasb@1Samuel:7:8 @Then the sons of Israel said to Samuel, " Do not cease to cry to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

nasb@1Samuel:7:10 @Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day against the Philistines and confused them, so that they were routed before Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:7:13 @So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come anymore within the border of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

nasb@1Samuel:7:15 @Now Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

nasb@1Samuel:8:2 @Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beersheba.

nasb@1Samuel:8:3 @His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice.

nasb@1Samuel:8:5 @and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations."

nasb@1Samuel:8:7 @The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.

nasb@1Samuel:8:9" @Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them."

nasb@1Samuel:8:18" @Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."

nasb@1Samuel:8:19 @Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, "No, but there shall be a king over us,

nasb@1Samuel:8:21 @Now after Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the LORD'S hearing.

nasb@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.

nasb@1Samuel:9:2 @He had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and handsome man, and there was not a more handsome person than he among the sons of Israel; from his shoulders and up he was taller than any of the people.

nasb@1Samuel:9:3 @Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. So Kish said to his son Saul, "Take now with you one of the servants, and arise, go search for the donkeys."

nasb@1Samuel:9:4 @He passed through the hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.

nasb@1Samuel:9:6 @He said to him, "Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and the man is held in honor; all that he says surely comes true. Now let us go there, perhaps he can tell us about our journey on which we have set out."

nasb@1Samuel:9:7 @Then Saul said to his servant, "But behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is gone from our sack and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:9 @(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he used to say, "Come, and let us go to the seer"; for he who is called a prophet now was formerly called a seer.)

nasb@1Samuel:9:12 @They answered them and said, "He is; see, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come into the city today, for the people have a sacrifice on the high place today.

nasb@1Samuel:9:13" @As soon as you enter the city you will 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 you will find him at once."

nasb@1Samuel:9:15 @Now a day before Saul's coming, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel saying,

nasb@1Samuel:9:16" @About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nasb@1Samuel:9:20" @ As for your donkeys which were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's household?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:21 @Saul replied, " 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 to me in this way?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:27 @As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Say to the servant that he might go ahead of us and pass on, but you remain standing now, that I may proclaim the word of God to you."

nasb@1Samuel:9:10 @Then Samuel took the flask of oil, poured it on his head, kissed him and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you a ruler over His inheritance?

nasb@1Samuel:9:2" @When you go from me today, then you will find two men close to 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. Now behold, your father has ceased to be concerned about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nasb@1Samuel:9:3" @Then you will go on further from there, and you will come as far as the oak of Tabor, and 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 jug of wine;

nasb@1Samuel:9:6" @Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man.

nasb@1Samuel:9:11 @It came about, when all who knew him previously saw that he prophesied now with the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:12 @A man there said, "Now, who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb- " Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:14 @Now Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, " To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they could not be found, we went to Samuel."

nasb@1Samuel:9:16 @So Saul said to his uncle, " He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom which Samuel had mentioned.

nasb@1Samuel:9:19" @But you have today rejected your God, who delivers you from all your calamities and your distresses; yet you have said, 'No, but set a king over us!' Now therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your clans."

nasb@1Samuel:9:21 @Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the Matrite family was taken. And Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.

nasb@1Samuel:9:24 @Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen? Surely there is no one like him among all the people." So all the people shouted and said, " Long live the king!"

nasb@1Samuel:9:27 @But certain worthless men said, "How can this one deliver usNULL" And they despised him and did not bring him any present. But he kept silent.

nasb@1Samuel:10:1 @Now Nahash the Ammonite came up and besieged Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us and we will serve you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:3 @The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Let us alone for seven days, that we may send messengers throughout the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to deliver us, we will come out to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:5 @Now behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen, and he said, "What is the matter with the people that they weep?" So they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

nasb@1Samuel:10:7 @He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, " Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." Then the dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.

nasb@1Samuel:10:11 @The next morning Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp at the morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

nasb@1Samuel:10:13 @But Saul said, " Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished deliverance in Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:10:2" @Now, here is the king walking before you, but I am old and gray, and behold my sons are with you. And I have walked before you from my youth even to this day.

nasb@1Samuel:10:3" @Here I am; bear witness against me before the LORD and His anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? I will restore it to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:4 @They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand."

nasb@1Samuel:10:5 @He said to them, "The LORD is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day that you have found nothing in my hand." And they said, "He is witness."

nasb@1Samuel:10:7" @So now, take your stand, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did for you and your fathers.

nasb@1Samuel:10:10" @ They cried out to the LORD and said, 'We have sinned because we have forsaken the LORD and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth; but now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve You.'

nasb@1Samuel:10:12" @When you saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ' No, but a king shall reign over us,' although the LORD your God was your king.

nasb@1Samuel:10:13" @Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen, whom you have asked for, and behold, the LORD has set a king over you.

nasb@1Samuel:10:14" @ If you will fear the LORD and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the LORD, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God.

nasb@1Samuel:10:15" @ If you will not listen to the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the command of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

nasb@1Samuel:10:16" @Even now, take your stand and see this great thing which the LORD will do before your eyes.

nasb@1Samuel:10:17" @ Is it not the wheat harvest today? I will call to the LORD, that He may send thunder and rain. Then you will know and see that your wickedness is great which you have done in the sight of the LORD by asking for yourselves a king."

nasb@1Samuel:10:19 @Then all the people said to Samuel, " Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, so that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil by asking for ourselves a king."

nasb@1Samuel:10:20 @Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear. You have committed all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.

nasb@1Samuel:10:21" @You must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile.

nasb@1Samuel:10:22" @For the LORD will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because the LORD has been pleased to make you a people for Himself.

nasb@1Samuel:11:2 @Now Saul chose for himself 3,000 men of Israel, of which 2,000 were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while 1,000 were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But he sent away the rest of the people, each to his tent.

nasb@1Samuel:11:5 @Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.

nasb@1Samuel:11:8 @Now he waited seven days, according to the appointed time set by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him.

nasb@1Samuel:11:11 @But Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash,

nasb@1Samuel:11:12 @therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the LORD.' So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering."

nasb@1Samuel:11:13 @Samuel said to Saul, " You have acted 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.

nasb@1Samuel:11:14" @But now your kingdom shall not endure. The LORD has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

nasb@1Samuel:11:16 @Now Saul and his son Jonathan and the people who were present with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin while the Philistines camped at Michmash.

nasb@1Samuel:11:18 @and another company turned toward Beth-horon, and another company turned toward the border which overlooks the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

nasb@1Samuel:11:19 @Now no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."

nasb@1Samuel:11:22 @So it came about on the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hands of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan, but they were found with Saul and his son Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:12:1 @Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

nasb@1Samuel:12:3 @and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD at Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.

nasb@1Samuel:12:5 @The one crag rose on the north opposite Michmash, and the other on the south opposite Geba.

nasb@1Samuel:12:6 @Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; perhaps the LORD will work for us, for the LORD is not restrained to save by many or by few."

nasb@1Samuel:12:9" @If they say to us, 'Wait until we come to you'; then we will stand in our place and not go up to them.

nasb@1Samuel:12:16 @Now Saul's watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away; and they went here and there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:17 @Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number now and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:21 @Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously, who went up with them all around in the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:12:24 @Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

nasb@1Samuel:12:26 @When the people entered the forest, behold, there was a flow of honey; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

nasb@1Samuel:12:27 @But Jonathan had not heard when his father put the people under oath; therefore, he put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.

nasb@1Samuel:12:29 @Then Jonathan said, " My father has troubled the land. See now, how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

nasb@1Samuel:12:30" @How much more, if only the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great."

nasb@1Samuel:12:34 @Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, 'Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter it here and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'" So all the people that night brought each one his ox with him and slaughtered it there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:36 @Then Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." And they said, "Do whatever seems good to you." So the priest said, "Let us draw near to God here."

nasb@1Samuel:12:37 @Saul inquired of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?" But He did not answer him on that day.

nasb@1Samuel:12:39" @For as the LORD lives, who delivers Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But not one of all the people answered him.

nasb@1Samuel:12:45 @But the people said to Saul, "Must Jonathan die, who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan and he did not die.

nasb@1Samuel:12:47 @Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.

nasb@1Samuel:12:49 @Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughters were these- the name of the firstborn Merab and the name of the younger Michal.

nasb@1Samuel:12:50 @The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

nasb@1Samuel:12:52 @Now the war against the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he attached him to his staff.

nasb@1Samuel:12:15 @Then Samuel said to Saul, " The LORD sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel; now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:12:3 @'Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"

nasb@1Samuel:12:6 @Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

nasb@1Samuel:12:9 @But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were not willing to destroy them utterly; but everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.

nasb@1Samuel:12:11" @ I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not carried out My commands." And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all night.

nasb@1Samuel:12:17 @Samuel said, "Is it not true, though you were little in your own eyes, you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the LORD anointed you king over Israel,

nasb@1Samuel:12:19" @Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but rushed upon the spoil and did what was evil in the sight of the LORD?"

nasb@1Samuel:12:25" @Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."

nasb@1Samuel:12:26 @But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:12:29" @Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind."

nasb@1Samuel:12:30 @Then he said, "I have sinned; but please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and go back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

nasb@1Samuel:12:35 @Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel grieved over Saul. And the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:13:1 @Now the LORD said to Samuel, " How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for Myself among his sons."

nasb@1Samuel:13:3" @You shall invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one whom I designate to you."

nasb@1Samuel:13:6 @When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the LORD'S anointed is before Him."

nasb@1Samuel:13:7 @But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

nasb@1Samuel:13:8 @Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either."

nasb@1Samuel:13:9 @Next Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either."

nasb@1Samuel:13:10 @Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

nasb@1Samuel:13:11 @And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the children?" And he said, " There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here."

nasb@1Samuel:13:12 @So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, " Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

nasb@1Samuel:13:13 @Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

nasb@1Samuel:13:14 @Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrorized him.

nasb@1Samuel:13:15 @Saul's servants then said to him, "Behold now, an evil spirit from God is terrorizing you.

nasb@1Samuel:13:16" @Let our lord now command your servants who are before you. Let them seek a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall come about when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play the harp with his hand, and you will be well."

nasb@1Samuel:13:17 @So Saul said to his servants, "Provide for me now a man who can play well and bring him to me."

nasb@1Samuel:13:22 @Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David now stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."

nasb@1Samuel:14:1 @Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

nasb@1Samuel:14:8 @He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, "Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

nasb@1Samuel:14:12 @Now David was the son of the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons. And Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.

nasb@1Samuel:14:14 @David was the youngest. Now the three oldest followed Saul,

nasb@1Samuel:14:17 @Then Jesse said to David his son, " Take now for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves and run to the camp to your brothers.

nasb@1Samuel:14:28 @Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger burned against David and he said, "Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down in order to see the battle."

nasb@1Samuel:14:29 @But David said, "What have I done now? Was it not just a question?"

nasb@1Samuel:14:30 @Then he turned away from him to another and said the same thing; and the people answered the same thing as before.

nasb@1Samuel:14:32 @David said to Saul, " Let no man's heart fail on account of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."

nasb@1Samuel:14:33 @Then Saul said to David, " You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."

nasb@1Samuel:14:39 @David girded his sword over his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. So David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them." And David took them off.

nasb@1Samuel:14:46" @This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

nasb@1Samuel:14:47 @and that all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and He will give you into our hands."

nasb@1Samuel:14:50 @Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David's hand.

nasb@1Samuel:14:55 @Now when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this young man?" And Abner said, "By your life, O king, I do not know."

nasb@1Samuel:15:1 @Now it came about when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself.

nasb@1Samuel:15:2 @Saul took him that day and did not let him return to his father's house.

nasb@1Samuel:15:8 @Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:10 @Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house, while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and a spear was in Saul's hand.

nasb@1Samuel:15:12 @Now Saul was afraid of David, for the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.

nasb@1Samuel:15:17 @Then Saul said to David, " Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nasb@1Samuel:15:20 @Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. When they told Saul, the thing was agreeable to him.

nasb@1Samuel:15:22 @Then Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David secretly, saying, 'Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you; now therefore, become the king's son-in-law.'"

nasb@1Samuel:15:25 @Saul then said, "Thus you shall say to David, 'The king does not desire any dowry except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies.'" Now Saul planned to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

nasb@1Samuel:16:1 @Now Saul told Jonathan his son and all his servants to put David to death. But Jonathan, Saul's son, greatly delighted in David.

nasb@1Samuel:16:2 @So Jonathan told David saying, "Saul my father is seeking to put you to death. Now therefore, please be on guard in the morning, and stay in a secret place and hide yourself.

nasb@1Samuel:16:4 @Then Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, " Do not let the king sin against his servant David, since he has not sinned against you, and since his deeds have been very beneficial to you.

nasb@1Samuel:16:5" @For he took his life in his hand and struck the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel; you saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death without a cause?"

nasb@1Samuel:16:6 @Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul vowed, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."

nasb@1Samuel:16:9 @Now there was an evil spirit from the LORD on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing the harp with his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:16:11 @Then Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death."

nasb@1Samuel:16:18 @Now David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.

nasb@1Samuel:17:2 @He said to him, "Far from it, you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. So why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

nasb@1Samuel:17:3 @Yet David vowed again, saying, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.' But truly as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death."

nasb@1Samuel:17:7" @If he says, 'It is good,' your servant will be safe; but if he is very angry, know that he has decided on evil.

nasb@1Samuel:17:9 @Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I should indeed learn that evil has been decided by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you about it?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:12 @Then Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good feeling toward David, shall I not then send to you and make it known to you?

nasb@1Samuel:17:13" @If it please my father to do you harm, may the LORD do so to Jonathan and more also, if I do not make it known to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And may the LORD be with you as He has been with my father.

nasb@1Samuel:17:14" @If I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of the LORD, that I may not die?

nasb@1Samuel:17:15" @ You shall not cut off your lovingkindness from my house forever, not even when the LORD cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."

nasb@1Samuel:17:21" @And behold, I will send the lad, saying, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I specifically say to the lad, 'Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,' then come; for there is safety for you and no harm, as the LORD lives.

nasb@1Samuel:17:26 @Nevertheless Saul did not speak anything that day, for he thought, "It is an accident, he is not clean, surely he is not clean."

nasb@1Samuel:17:27 @It came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David's place was empty; so Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:29 @for he said, 'Please let me go, since our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. And now, if I have found favor in your sight, please let me get away that I may see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table."

nasb@1Samuel:17:30 @Then Saul's anger burned against Jonathan and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

nasb@1Samuel:17:31" @For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Therefore now, send and bring him to me, for he must surely die."

nasb@1Samuel:17:34 @Then Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved over David because his father had dishonored him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:35 @Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little lad was with him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:36 @He said to his lad, " Run, find now the arrows which I am about to shoot." As the lad was running, he shot an arrow past him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:37 @When the lad reached the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad and said, " Is not the arrow beyond you?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:38 @And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, be quick, do not stay!" And Jonathan's lad picked up the arrow and came to his master.

nasb@1Samuel:17:39 @But the lad was not aware of anything; only Jonathan and David knew about the matter.

nasb@1Samuel:18:1 @Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech came trembling to meet David and said to him, "Why are you alone and no one with you?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:2 @David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, ' Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men to a certain place.'

nasb@1Samuel:18:3" @Now therefore, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found."

nasb@1Samuel:18:4 @The priest answered David and said, "There is no ordinary bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."

nasb@1Samuel:18:6 @So the priest gave him consecrated bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence which was removed from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place when it was taken away.

nasb@1Samuel:18:7 @Now one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's shepherds.

nasb@1Samuel:18:8 @David said to Ahimelech, "Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's matter was urgent."

nasb@1Samuel:18:9 @Then the priest said, " The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you would take it for yourself, take it. For there is no other except it here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nasb@1Samuel:18:11 @But the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of this one as they danced, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nasb@1Samuel:19:2 @Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:3 @And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me."

nasb@1Samuel:19:5 @The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

nasb@1Samuel:19:6 @Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:7 @Saul said to his servants who stood around him, "Hear now, O Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse also give to all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?

nasb@1Samuel:19:8" @For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day."

nasb@1Samuel:19:9 @Then Doeg the Edomite, who was standing by the servants of Saul, said, " I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

nasb@1Samuel:19:11 @Then the king sent someone to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's household, the priests who were in Nob; and all of them came to the king.

nasb@1Samuel:19:12 @Saul said, "Listen now, son of Ahitub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."

nasb@1Samuel:19:14 @Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, even the king's son-in-law, who is captain over your guard, and is honored in your house?

nasb@1Samuel:19:15" @Did I just begin to inquire of God for him today? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing at all of this whole affair."

nasb@1Samuel:19:17 @And the king said to the guards who were attending him, "Turn around and put the priests of the LORD to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not reveal it to me."

nasb@1Samuel:19:19 @And he struck Nob the city of the priests with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and infants; also oxen, donkeys, and sheep he struck with the edge of the sword.

nasb@1Samuel:19:23" @Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life, for you are safe with me."

nasb@1Samuel:20:6 @Now it came about, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:20:14 @David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:20:15 @Now David became aware that Saul had come out to seek his life while David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.

nasb@1Samuel:20:17 @Thus he said to him, " Do not be afraid, because the hand of Saul my father will not find you, and you will be king over Israel and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also."

nasb@1Samuel:23:23" @ The LORD will repay each man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I refused to stretch out my hand against the LORD'S anointed.

nasb@1Samuel:23:24" @Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the LORD, and may He deliver me from all distress."

nasb@1Samuel:24:1 @Then David said to himself, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand."

nasb@1Samuel:24:3 @And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.

nasb@1Samuel:24:4 @Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.

nasb@1Samuel:24:5 @Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"

nasb@1Samuel:24:8 @Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.

nasb@1Samuel:24:9 @David attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.

nasb@1Samuel:24:10 @Now Achish said, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David said, "Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites."

nasb@1Samuel:24:11 @David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'"

nasb@1Samuel:25:1 @Now it came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men."

nasb@1Samuel:25:2 @David said to Achish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." So Achish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."

nasb@1Samuel:25:3 @Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who were mediums and spiritists.

nasb@1Samuel:25:6 @When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.

nasb@1Samuel:25:9 @But the woman said to him, "Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"

nasb@1Samuel:25:10 @Saul vowed to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nasb@1Samuel:25:13 @The king said to her, "Do not be afraid; but what do you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I see a divine being coming up out of the earth."

nasb@1Samuel:25:15 @Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do."

nasb@1Samuel:25:18" @As you did not obey the LORD and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nasb@1Samuel:25:20 @Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.

nasb@1Samuel:25:22" @So now also, please listen to the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you that you may eat and have strength when you go on your way."

nasb@1Samuel:25:23 @But he refused and said, " I will not eat." However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to them. So he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.

nasb@1Samuel:26:1 @Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek, while the Israelites were camping by the spring which is in Jezreel.

nasb@1Samuel:26:3 @Then the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him from the day he deserted to me to this day?"

nasb@1Samuel:26:4 @But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him, and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Make the man go back, that he may return to his place where you have assigned him, and do not let him go down to battle with us, or in the battle he may become an adversary to us. For with what could this man make himself acceptable to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of these men?

nasb@1Samuel:26:5" @Is this not David, of whom they sing in the dances, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nasb@1Samuel:26:6 @Then Achish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight; for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing in the sight of the lords.

nasb@1Samuel:26:7" @Now therefore return and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

nasb@1Samuel:26:8 @David said to Achish, " But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day when I came before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

nasb@1Samuel:26:9 @But Achish replied to David, "I know that you are pleasing in my sight, like an angel of God; nevertheless the commanders of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'

nasb@1Samuel:26:10" @Now then arise early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you, and as soon as you have arisen early in the morning and have light, depart."

nasb@1Samuel:27:4 @Then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep.

nasb@1Samuel:27:5 @Now David's two wives had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

nasb@1Samuel:27:11 @Now they found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David, and gave him bread and he ate, and they provided him water to drink.

nasb@1Samuel:27:12 @They gave him a piece of fig cake and two clusters of raisins, and he ate; then his spirit revived. For he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights.

nasb@1Samuel:27:15 @Then David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this band?" And he said, "Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this band."

nasb@1Samuel:27:17 @David slaughtered them from the twilight until the evening of the next day; and not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.

nasb@1Samuel:27:19 @But nothing of theirs was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that they had taken for themselves; David brought it all back.

nasb@1Samuel:27:22 @Then all the wicked and worthless men among those who went with David said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart."

nasb@1Samuel:27:23 @Then David said, "You must not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us, who has kept us and delivered into our hand the band that came against us.

nasb@1Samuel:27:26 @Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, "Behold, a gift for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD-

nasb@1Samuel:28:1 @Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

nasb@1Samuel:28:4 @Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised will come and pierce me through and make sport of me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it.

nasb@1Samuel:28:11 @Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

nasb@2Samuel:1:1 @Now it came about after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David remained two days in Ziklag.

nasb@2Samuel:1:5 @So David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"

nasb@2Samuel:1:10" @So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown which was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."

nasb@2Samuel:1:14 @Then David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?"

nasb@2Samuel:1:16 @David said to him, " Your blood is on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have killed the LORD'S anointed.'"

nasb@2Samuel:1:20" @ Tell it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, Or the daughters of the Philistines will rejoice, The daughters of the uncircumcised will exult.

nasb@2Samuel:1:21" @ O mountains of Gilboa, Let not dew or rain be on you, nor fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.

nasb@2Samuel:1:22" @ From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan did not turn back, And the sword of Saul did not return empty.

nasb@2Samuel:1:23" @Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their life, And in their death they were not parted; They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.

nasb@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

nasb@2Samuel:2:4 @Then the men of Judah came and there anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, "It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul."

nasb@2Samuel:2:6" @Now may the LORD show lovingkindness and truth to you; and I also will show this goodness to you, because you have done this thing.

nasb@2Samuel:2:7" @Now therefore, let your hands be strong and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."

nasb@2Samuel:2:12 @Now Abner the son of Ner, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon with the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul.

nasb@2Samuel:2:14 @Then Abner said to Joab, "Now let the young men arise and hold a contest before us." And Joab said, "Let them arise."

nasb@2Samuel:2:18 @Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel; and Asahel was as swift-footed as one of the gazelles which is in the field.

nasb@2Samuel:2:19 @Asahel pursued Abner and did not turn to the right or to the left from following Abner.

nasb@2Samuel:2:21 @So Abner said to him, "Turn to your right or to your left, and take hold of one of the young men for yourself, and take for yourself his spoil." But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.

nasb@2Samuel:2:26 @Then Abner called to Joab and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitter in the end? How long will you refrain from telling the people to turn back from following their brothers?"

nasb@2Samuel:2:27 @Joab said, "As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then the people would have gone away in the morning, each from following his brother."

nasb@2Samuel:2:28 @So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people halted and pursued Israel no longer, nor did they continue to fight anymore.

nasb@2Samuel:3:1 @Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David; and David grew steadily stronger, but the house of Saul grew weaker continually.

nasb@2Samuel:3:2 @Sons were born to David at Hebron- his firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;

nasb@2Samuel:3:7 @Now Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?"

nasb@2Samuel:3:8 @Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ish-bosheth and said, " Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hands of David; and yet today you charge me with a guilt concerning the woman.

nasb@2Samuel:3:9" @ May God do so to Abner, and more also, if as the LORD has sworn to David, I do not accomplish this for him,

nasb@2Samuel:3:11 @And he could no longer answer Abner a word, because he was afraid of him.

nasb@2Samuel:3:13 @He said, "Good! I will make a covenant with you, but I demand one thing of you, namely, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see me."

nasb@2Samuel:3:17 @Now Abner had consultation with the elders of Israel, saying, "In times past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

nasb@2Samuel:3:18" @Now then, do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ' By the hand of My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.'"

nasb@2Samuel:3:22 @And behold, 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.

nasb@2Samuel:3:25" @You know Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you and to learn of your going out and coming in and to find out all that you are doing."

nasb@2Samuel:3:26 @When Joab came out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.

nasb@2Samuel:3:28 @Afterward when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are innocent before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

nasb@2Samuel:3:29" @ May it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father's house; and may there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who takes hold of a distaff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."

nasb@2Samuel:3:34" @Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put in fetters; As one falls before the wicked, you have fallen." And all the people wept again over him.

nasb@2Samuel:3:36 @Now all the people took note of it, and it pleased them, just as everything the king did pleased all the people.

nasb@2Samuel:3:37 @So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the will of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death.

nasb@2Samuel:3:38 @Then the king said to his servants, "Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?

nasb@2Samuel:3:39" @I am weak today, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too difficult for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil."

nasb@2Samuel:4:1 @Now when Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was disturbed.

nasb@2Samuel:4:4 @Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son crippled in his feet. He was five years old when the report of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened that in her hurry to flee, he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

nasb@2Samuel:4:7 @Now when they came into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and killed him and beheaded him. And they took his head and traveled by way of the Arabah all night.

nasb@2Samuel:4:11" @How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hand and destroy you from the earth?"

nasb@2Samuel:4:3 @So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the LORD at Hebron; then they anointed David king over Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:4:6 @Now the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, and they said to David, "You shall not come in here, but the blind and lame will turn you away"; thinking, "David cannot enter here."

nasb@2Samuel:4:8 @David said on that day, "Whoever would strike the Jebusites, let him reach the lame and the blind, who are hated by David's soul, through the water tunnel." Therefore they say, "The blind or the lame shall not come into the house."

nasb@2Samuel:4:14 @Now these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem- Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

nasb@2Samuel:4:17 @When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek out David; and when David heard of it, he went down to the stronghold.

nasb@2Samuel:4:18 @Now the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@2Samuel:4:22 @Now the Philistines came up once again and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@2Samuel:4:23 @When David inquired of the LORD, He said, "You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees.

nasb@2Samuel:5:1 @Now David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

nasb@2Samuel:5:12 @Now it was told King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God." David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

nasb@2Samuel:5:23 @Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

nasb@2Samuel:6:1 @Now it came about when the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,

nasb@2Samuel:6:2 @that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within tent curtains."

nasb@2Samuel:6:6" @For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; but I have been moving about in a tent, even in a tabernacle.

nasb@2Samuel:6:7" @ Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?'"'

nasb@2Samuel:6:8" @Now therefore, thus you shall say to My servant David, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, " I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:6:10" @I will also appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, nor will the wicked afflict them any more as formerly,

nasb@2Samuel:6:15 @but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

nasb@2Samuel:6:20" @Again what more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord GOD!

nasb@2Samuel:6:21" @ For the sake of Your word, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness to let Your servant know.

nasb@2Samuel:6:22" @For this reason You are great, O Lord GOD; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

nasb@2Samuel:6:25" @Now therefore, O LORD God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house, confirm it forever, and do as You have spoken,

nasb@2Samuel:6:28" @Now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant.

nasb@2Samuel:6:29" @Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord GOD, have spoken; and with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever."

nasb@2Samuel:7:1 @Now after this it came about that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines.

nasb@2Samuel:7:4 @David captured from him 1,700 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers; and David hamstrung the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots.

nasb@2Samuel:7:9 @Now when Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,

nasb@2Samuel:8:2 @Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "I am your servant."

nasb@2Samuel:8:3 @The king said, "Is there not yet anyone of the house of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?" And Ziba said to the king, " There is still a son of Jonathan who is crippled in both feet."

nasb@2Samuel:8:7 @David said to him, "Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly."

nasb@2Samuel:8:10" @You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master's grandson may have food; nevertheless Mephibosheth your master's grandson shall eat at my table regularly." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

nasb@2Samuel:8:13 @So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, for he ate at the king's table regularly. Now he was lame in both feet.

nasb@2Samuel:9:1 @Now it happened afterwards that the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Samuel:9:3 @the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David is honoring your father because he has sent consolers to you? Has David not sent his servants to you in order to search the city, to spy it out and overthrow it?"

nasb@2Samuel:9:6 @Now when the sons of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth-rehob and the Arameans of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of Tob with 12,000 men.

nasb@2Samuel:9:9 @Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and in the rear, he selected from all the choice men of Israel, and arrayed them against the Arameans.

nasb@2Samuel:9:17 @Now when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Arameans arrayed themselves to meet David and fought against him.

nasb@2Samuel:10:2 @Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance.

nasb@2Samuel:10:3 @So David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"

nasb@2Samuel:10:9 @But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

nasb@2Samuel:10:10 @Now when they told David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"

nasb@2Samuel:10:11 @Uriah said to David, " The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing."

nasb@2Samuel:10:13 @Now David called him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his bed with his lord's servants, but he did not go down to his house.

nasb@2Samuel:10:14 @Now in the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

nasb@2Samuel:10:20 @and if it happens that the king's wrath rises and he says to you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?

nasb@2Samuel:10:21 @'Who struck down Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?'--then you shall say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'"

nasb@2Samuel:10:25 @Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall say to Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle against the city stronger and overthrow it'; and so encourage him."

nasb@2Samuel:10:26 @Now when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

nasb@2Samuel:10:3" @But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb Which he bought and nourished; And it grew up together with him and his children. It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom, And was like a daughter to him.

nasb@2Samuel:10:4" @Now a traveler came to the rich man, And he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd, To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him; Rather he took the poor man's ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

nasb@2Samuel:10:6" @He must make restitution for the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and had no compassion."

nasb@2Samuel:10:7 @Nathan then said to David, " You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel, ' It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul.

nasb@2Samuel:10:10 @'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.'

nasb@2Samuel:10:13 @Then David said to Nathan, " I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has taken away your sin; you shall not die.

nasb@2Samuel:10:17 @The elders of his household stood beside him in order to raise him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat food with them.

nasb@2Samuel:10:18 @Then it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, "Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm!"

nasb@2Samuel:10:20 @So David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he requested, they set food before him and he ate.

nasb@2Samuel:10:22 @He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ' Who knows, the LORD may be gracious to me, that the child may live.'

nasb@2Samuel:10:26 @Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and captured the royal city.

nasb@2Samuel:10:28" @Now therefore, gather the rest of the people together and camp against the city and capture it, or I will capture the city myself and it will be named after me."

nasb@2Samuel:11:1 @Now it was after this that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David loved her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:2 @Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:3 @But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.

nasb@2Samuel:11:4 @He said to him, "O son of the king, why are you so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?" Then Amnon said to him, "I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom."

nasb@2Samuel:11:6 @So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

nasb@2Samuel:11:7 @Then David sent to the house for Tamar, saying, "Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and prepare food for him."

nasb@2Samuel:11:8 @So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he was lying down. And she took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

nasb@2Samuel:11:9 @She took the pan and dished them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, " Have everyone go out from me." So everyone went out from him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:10 @Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand." So Tamar took the cakes which she had made and brought them into the bedroom to her brother Amnon.

nasb@2Samuel:11:12 @But she answered him, "No, my brother, do not violate me, for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this disgraceful thing!

nasb@2Samuel:11:13" @As for me, where could I get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you."

nasb@2Samuel:11:14 @However, he would not listen to her; since he was stronger than she, he violated her and lay with her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:15 @Then Amnon hated her with a very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Get up, go away!"

nasb@2Samuel:11:16 @But she said to him, "No, because this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other that you have done to me!" Yet he would not listen to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:17 @Then he called his young man who attended him and said, "Now throw this woman out of my presence, and lock the door behind her."

nasb@2Samuel:11:18 @Now she had on a long-sleeved garment; for in this manner the virgin daughters of the king dressed themselves in robes. Then his attendant took her out and locked the door behind her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:20 @Then Absalom her brother said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep silent, my sister, he is your brother; do not take this matter to heart." So Tamar remained and was desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

nasb@2Samuel:11:21 @Now when King David heard of all these matters, he was very angry.

nasb@2Samuel:11:22 @But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.

nasb@2Samuel:11:23 @Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

nasb@2Samuel:11:24 @Absalom came to the king and said, "Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant."

nasb@2Samuel:11:25 @But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you." Although he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:26 @Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." And the king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"

nasb@2Samuel:11:27 @But when Absalom urged him, he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:28 @Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "See now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, 'Strike Amnon,' then put him to death. Do not fear; have not I myself commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant."

nasb@2Samuel:11:29 @The servants of Absalom did to Amnon just as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose and each mounted his mule and fled.

nasb@2Samuel:11:30 @Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

nasb@2Samuel:11:32 @Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, responded, "Do not let my lord suppose they have put to death all the young men, the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead; because by the intent of Absalom this has been determined since the day that he violated his sister Tamar.

nasb@2Samuel:11:33" @Now therefore, do not let my lord the king take the report to heart, namely, 'all the king's sons are dead,' for only Amnon is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:11:34 @Now Absalom had fled. And the young man who was the watchman raised his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain.

nasb@2Samuel:11:37 @Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

nasb@2Samuel:11:39 @The heart of King David longed to go out to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.

nasb@2Samuel:12:1 @Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was inclined toward Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:12:2 @So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments now, and do not anoint yourself with oil, but be like a woman who has been mourning for the dead many days;

nasb@2Samuel:12:4 @Now when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and prostrated herself and said, " Help, O king."

nasb@2Samuel:12:6" @Your maidservant had two sons, but the two of them struggled together in the field, and there was no one to separate them, so one struck the other and killed him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:7" @Now behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and they say, 'Hand over the one who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, and destroy the heir also.' Thus they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth."

nasb@2Samuel:12:10 @So the king said, "Whoever speaks to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you anymore."

nasb@2Samuel:12:11 @Then she said, "Please let the king remember the LORD your God, so that the avenger of blood will not continue to destroy, otherwise they will destroy my son." And he said, " As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

nasb@2Samuel:12:13 @The woman said, " Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring back his banished one.

nasb@2Samuel:12:14" @For we will surely die and are like water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away life, but plans ways so that the banished one will not be cast out from him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:15" @Now the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your maidservant said, 'Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the request of his maidservant.

nasb@2Samuel:12:18 @Then the king answered and said to the woman, "Please do not hide anything from me that I am about to ask you." And the woman said, "Let my lord the king please speak."

nasb@2Samuel:12:19 @So the king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" And the woman replied, "As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. Indeed, it was your servant Joab who commanded me, and it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant;

nasb@2Samuel:12:20 @in order to change the appearance of things your servant Joab has done this thing. But my lord is wise, like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know all that is in the earth."

nasb@2Samuel:12:21 @Then the king said to Joab, "Behold now, I will surely do this thing; go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom."

nasb@2Samuel:12:22 @Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king; then Joab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, O my lord, the king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant."

nasb@2Samuel:12:24 @However the king said, "Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face." So Absalom turned to his own house and did not see the king's face.

nasb@2Samuel:12:25 @Now in all Israel was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:28 @Now Absalom lived two full years in Jerusalem, and did not see the king's face.

nasb@2Samuel:12:29 @Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

nasb@2Samuel:12:32 @Absalom answered Joab, "Behold, I sent for you, saying, 'Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there."' Now therefore, let me see the king's face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him put me to death."

nasb@2Samuel:13:1 @Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses and fifty men as runners before him.

nasb@2Samuel:13:3 @Then Absalom would say to him, "See, your claims are good and right, but no man listens to you on the part of the king."

nasb@2Samuel:13:7 @Now it came about at the end of forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:13:11 @Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, and they did not know anything.

nasb@2Samuel:13:14 @David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, " Arise and let us flee, for otherwise none of us will escape from Absalom. Go in haste, or he will overtake us quickly and bring down calamity on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

nasb@2Samuel:13:18 @Now all his servants passed on beside him, all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had come with him from Gath, passed on before the king.

nasb@2Samuel:13:24 @Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar came up until all the people had finished passing from the city.

nasb@2Samuel:13:26" @But if He should say thus, ' I have no delight in you,' behold, here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him."

nasb@2Samuel:13:27 @The king said also to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace and your two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

nasb@2Samuel:13:31 @Now someone told David, saying, " Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolishness."

nasb@2Samuel:13:34" @But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so I will now be your servant,' then you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

nasb@2Samuel:13:35" @Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the king's house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

nasb@2Samuel:14:1 @Now when David had passed a little beyond the summit, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them were two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a jug of wine.

nasb@2Samuel:14:9 @Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over now and cut off his head."

nasb@2Samuel:14:11 @Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my son who came out from me seeks my life; how much more now this Benjamite? Let him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:16 @Now it came about when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, " Long live the king! Long live the king!"

nasb@2Samuel:14:17 @Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

nasb@2Samuel:14:18 @Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No! For whom the LORD, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

nasb@2Samuel:14:19" @Besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so I will be in your presence."

nasb@2Samuel:14:5 @Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say."

nasb@2Samuel:14:6 @When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Shall we carry out his plan? If not, you speak."

nasb@2Samuel:14:7 @So Hushai said to Absalom, " This time the advice that Ahithophel has given is not good."

nasb@2Samuel:14:8 @Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men and they are fierce, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. And your father is an expert in warfare, and will not spend the night with the people.

nasb@2Samuel:14:9" @Behold, he has now hidden himself in one of the caves or in another place; and it will be when he falls on them at the first attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'

nasb@2Samuel:14:10" @And even the one who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will completely lose heart; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man and those who are with him are valiant men.

nasb@2Samuel:14:12" @So we shall come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.

nasb@2Samuel:14:13" @If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the valley until not even a small stone is found there."

nasb@2Samuel:14:16" @Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ' Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over, or else the king and all the people who are with him will be destroyed.'"

nasb@2Samuel:14:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, and a maidservant would go and tell them, and they would go and tell King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.

nasb@2Samuel:14:19 @And the woman took a covering and spread it over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, so that nothing was known.

nasb@2Samuel:14:20 @Then Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have crossed the brook of water." And when they searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:14:22 @Then David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed the Jordan; and by dawn not even one remained who had not crossed the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:14:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.

nasb@2Samuel:14:25 @Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nasb@2Samuel:14:27 @Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

nasb@2Samuel:15:3 @But the people said, " You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city."

nasb@2Samuel:15:9 @Now Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.

nasb@2Samuel:15:11 @Then Joab said to the man who had told him, "Now behold, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? And I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt."

nasb@2Samuel:15:12 @The man said to Joab, "Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, 'Protect for me the young man Absalom!'

nasb@2Samuel:15:13" @Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof."

nasb@2Samuel:15:14 @Then Joab said, "I will not waste time here with you." So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.

nasb@2Samuel:15:18 @Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, " I have no son to preserve my name." So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's Monument to this day.

nasb@2Samuel:15:20 @But Joab said to him, "You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today because the king's son is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:15:22 @Now Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said once more to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." And Joab said, "Why would you run, my son, since you will have no reward for going?"

nasb@2Samuel:15:24 @Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and raised his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running by himself.

nasb@2Samuel:15:26 @Then the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, "Behold, another man running by himself." And the king said, "This one also is bringing good news."

nasb@2Samuel:15:29 @The king said, " Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant, and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was."

nasb@2Samuel:16:6 @by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have shown today that princes and servants are nothing to you; for I know this day that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.

nasb@2Samuel:16:7" @Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

nasb@2Samuel:16:8 @So the king arose and sat in the gate. When they told all the people, saying, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate," then all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.

nasb@2Samuel:16:9 @All the people were quarreling throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, " The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and saved us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:16:10" @However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:13" @Say to Amasa, 'Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and more also, if you will not be commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab.'"

nasb@2Samuel:16:19 @So he said to the king, " Let not my lord consider me guilty, nor remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king came out from Jerusalem, so that the king would take it to heart.

nasb@2Samuel:16:20" @For your servant knows that I have sinned; therefore behold, I have come today, the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king."

nasb@2Samuel:16:21 @But Abishai the son of Zeruiah said, " Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:22 @David then said, " What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:23 @The king said to Shimei, " You shall not die." Thus the king swore to him.

nasb@2Samuel:16:24 @Then Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:16:25 @It was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, " Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:28" @For all my father's household was nothing but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right do I have yet that I should complain anymore to the king?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:31 @Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:32 @Now Barzillai was very old, being eighty years old; and he had sustained the king while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

nasb@2Samuel:16:35" @I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

nasb@2Samuel:16:40 @Now the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah and also half the people of Israel accompanied the king.

nasb@2Samuel:16:43 @But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, " We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contemptNULL Was it not our advice first to bring back our kingNULL" Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:17:1 @Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said, " We have no portion in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nasb@2Samuel:17:3 @Then David came to his house at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and placed them under guard and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up until the day of their death, living as widows.

nasb@2Samuel:17:6 @And David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord's servants and pursue him, so that he does not find for himself fortified cities and escape from our sight."

nasb@2Samuel:17:8 @When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was dressed in his military attire, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.

nasb@2Samuel:17:10 @But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab's hand so he struck him in the belly with it and poured out his inward parts on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

nasb@2Samuel:17:11 @Now there stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab."

nasb@2Samuel:17:14 @Now he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, even Beth-maacah, and all the Berites; and they were gathered together and also went after him.

nasb@2Samuel:17:21" @Such is not the case. But a man from the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against King David. Only hand him over, and I will depart from the city." And the woman said to Joab, "Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

nasb@2Samuel:17:23 @Now Joab was over the whole army of Israel, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

nasb@2Samuel:18:1 @Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the presence of the LORD. And the LORD said, "It is for Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death."

nasb@2Samuel:18:2 @So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel made a covenant with them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah).

nasb@2Samuel:18:4 @Then the Gibeonites said to him, " We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul or his house, nor is it for us to put any man to death in Israel." And he said, "I will do for you whatever you say."

nasb@2Samuel:18:10 @And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky; and she allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night.

nasb@2Samuel:18:15 @Now when the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David went down and his servants with him; and as they fought against the Philistines, David became weary.

nasb@2Samuel:18:16 @Then Ishbi-benob, who was among the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, was girded with a new sword, and he intended to kill David.

nasb@2Samuel:18:17 @But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, " You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."

nasb@2Samuel:19:23 @Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse declares, The man who was raised on high declares, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel,

nasb@2Samuel:19:5" @Truly is not my house so with God? For He has made an everlasting covenant with me, Ordered in all things, and secured; For all my salvation and all my desire, Will He not indeed make it grow?

nasb@2Samuel:19:6" @ But the worthless, every one of them will be thrust away like thorns, Because they cannot be taken in hand;

nasb@2Samuel:19:8 @These are the names of the mighty men whom David had- Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains, he was called Adino the Eznite, because of eight hundred slain by him at one time;

nasb@2Samuel:19:11 @Now after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines.

nasb@2Samuel:19:16 @So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which 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;

nasb@2Samuel:19:17 @and he said, "Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

nasb@2Samuel:19:19 @He was most honored of the thirty, therefore he became their commander; however, he did not attain to the three.

nasb@2Samuel:19:20 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.

nasb@2Samuel:19:21 @He killed an Egyptian, an impressive man. Now the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.

nasb@2Samuel:19:23 @He was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David appointed him over his guard.

nasb@2Samuel:20:1 @Now again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and it incited David against them to say, " Go, number Israel and Judah."

nasb@2Samuel:20:2 @The king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, "Go about now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and register the people, that I may know the number of the people."

nasb@2Samuel:20:3 @But Joab said to the king, " Now may the LORD your God add to the people a hundred times as many as they are, while the eyes of my lord the king still see; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"

nasb@2Samuel:20:10 @Now David's heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, " I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O LORD, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly."

nasb@2Samuel:20:13 @So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me."

nasb@2Samuel:20:14 @Then David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the LORD for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nasb@2Samuel:20:16 @When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the calamity and said to the angel who destroyed the people, "It is enough! Now relax your hand!" And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

nasb@2Samuel:20:24 @However, the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

nasb@1Kings:1:1 @Now King David was old, advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not keep warm.

nasb@1Kings:1:4 @The girl was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and served him, but the king did not cohabit with her.

nasb@1Kings:1:5 @Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen with fifty men to run before him.

nasb@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.

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

nasb@1Kings:1:11 @Then 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?

nasb@1Kings:1:12" @So now come, please let me give you counsel and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:1:13" @Go at once to King David and say to him, 'Have you not, my lord, O king, sworn to your maidservant, saying, " Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?'

nasb@1Kings:1:15 @So Bathsheba went in to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.

nasb@1Kings:1:18" @Now, behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know it.

nasb@1Kings:1:19" @ He has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.

nasb@1Kings:1:20" @As for you now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

nasb@1Kings:1:26" @ But me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.

nasb@1Kings:1:27" @Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"

nasb@1Kings:1:34" @Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel, and blow the trumpet and say, ' Long live King Solomon!'

nasb@1Kings:1:39 @Zadok the priest then took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, " Long live King Solomon!"

nasb@1Kings:1:40 @All the people went up after him, and the people were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth shook at their noise.

nasb@1Kings:1:41 @Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is the city making such an uproar?"

nasb@1Kings:1:43 @But Jonathan replied to Adonijah, "No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king.

nasb@1Kings:1:45" @Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon, and they have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which you have heard.

nasb@1Kings:1:51 @Now it was told Solomon, saying, "Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for behold, 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.'"

nasb@1Kings:1:52 @Solomon said, "If he is a worthy man, not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he will die."

nasb@1Kings:2:4 @so that the LORD may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, ' If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'

nasb@1Kings:2:5" @Now you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt about his waist, and on his sandals on his feet.

nasb@1Kings:2:6" @ So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.

nasb@1Kings:2:8" @Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'

nasb@1Kings:2:9" @Now therefore, do not let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood."

nasb@1Kings:2:13 @Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, " Do you come peacefully?" And he said, "Peacefully."

nasb@1Kings:2:15 @So he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:2:16" @Now I am making one request of you; do not refuse me." And she said to him, "Speak."

nasb@1Kings:2:17 @Then he said, "Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife."

nasb@1Kings:2:20 @Then she said, "I am making one small request of you; do not refuse me." And the king said to her, "Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you."

nasb@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.

nasb@1Kings:2:24" @Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and who has made me a house as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today."

nasb@1Kings:2:26 @Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, " Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; 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 in everything with which my father was afflicted."

nasb@1Kings:2:28 @Now the news came to Joab, for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he had not followed Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.

nasb@1Kings:2:30 @So Benaiah came to the tent of the LORD and said to him, "Thus the king has said, 'Come out.'" But he said, "No, for I will die here." And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus spoke Joab, and thus he answered me."

nasb@1Kings:2:32" @ The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he and killed them with the sword, while my father David did not know it- Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.

nasb@1Kings:2:36 @Now the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Build for yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go out from there to any place.

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

nasb@1Kings:2:42 @So the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD and solemnly warn you, saying, 'You will know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, 'The word which I have heard is good.'

nasb@1Kings:2:43" @Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD, and the command which I have laid on you?"

nasb@1Kings:2:44 @The king also said to Shimei, " You know all the evil which you acknowledge in your heart, which you did to my father David; therefore the LORD shall return your evil on your own head.

nasb@1Kings:3:2 @The people were still sacrificing on the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.

nasb@1Kings:3:3 @Now Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

nasb@1Kings:3:7" @Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

nasb@1Kings:3:11 @God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice,

nasb@1Kings:3:12 @behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you.

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

nasb@1Kings:3:18" @It happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth to a child, and we were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, only the two of us in the house.

nasb@1Kings:3:21" @When I rose in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead; but when I looked at him carefully in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I had borne."

nasb@1Kings:3:22 @Then the other woman said, "No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." But the first woman said, "No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.

nasb@1Kings:3:23 @Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one'; and the other says, 'No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'"

nasb@1Kings:3:26 @Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son and said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him." But the other said, "He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him!"

nasb@1Kings:3:27 @Then the king said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother."

nasb@1Kings:4:1 @Now King Solomon was king over all Israel.

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

nasb@1Kings:4:27 @Those deputies provided for King Solomon and all who came to King Solomon's table, each in his month; they left nothing lacking.

nasb@1Kings:4:29 @Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore.

nasb@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations.

nasb@1Kings:4:33 @He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he spoke also of animals and birds and creeping things and fish.

nasb@1Kings:5:1 @Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David.

nasb@1Kings:5:3" @You know that David my father was unable to build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

nasb@1Kings:5:4" @But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.

nasb@1Kings:5:6" @Now therefore, command that they cut for me cedars from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."

nasb@1Kings:5:9" @My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place where you direct me, and I will have them broken up there, and you shall carry them away. Then you shall accomplish my desire by giving food to my household."

nasb@1Kings:5:13 @Now King Solomon levied forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered 30,000 men.

nasb@1Kings:5:14 @He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in relays; they were in Lebanon a month and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the forced laborers.

nasb@1Kings:5:15 @Now Solomon had 70,000 transporters, and 80,000 hewers of stone in the mountains,

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

nasb@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest story was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around in order that the beams would not be inserted in the walls of the house.

nasb@1Kings:6:7 @The house, while it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.

nasb@1Kings:6:11 @Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon saying,

nasb@1Kings:6:13" @ I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."

nasb@1Kings:6:18 @There was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, there was no stone seen.

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

nasb@1Kings:7:2 @He built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was 100 cubits and its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.

nasb@1Kings:7:13 @Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.

nasb@1Kings:7:23 @Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference.

nasb@1Kings:7:25 @It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.

nasb@1Kings:7:30 @Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.

nasb@1Kings:7:31 @Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

nasb@1Kings:7:34 @Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.

nasb@1Kings:7:40 @Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD-

nasb@1Kings:7:47 @Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

nasb@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen they could not be counted or numbered.

nasb@1Kings:8:8 @But the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; they are there to this day.

nasb@1Kings:8:9 @There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@1Kings:8:11 @so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:8:16 @' Since the day that I brought My people Israel from Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'

nasb@1Kings:8:19 @' Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.'

nasb@1Kings:8:20" @Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:8:23 @He said, "O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart,

nasb@1Kings:8:43 @hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, to fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

nasb@1Kings:8:60 @so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no one else.

nasb@1Kings:8:62 @Now the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifice before the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:9:1 @Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all that Solomon desired to do,

nasb@1Kings:9:5 @then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised to your father David, saying, 'You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'

nasb@1Kings:9:6" @ But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,

nasb@1Kings:9:12 @So Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they did not please him.

nasb@1Kings:9:15 @Now this is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon levied to build the house of the LORD, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

nasb@1Kings:9:19 @and all the storage cities which Solomon had, even the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.

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

nasb@1Kings:9:22 @But Solomon did not make slaves of the sons of Israel; for they were men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, his chariot commanders, and his horsemen.

nasb@1Kings:9:25 @Now three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD, burning incense with them on the altar which was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

nasb@1Kings:10:1 @Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.

nasb@1Kings:10:3 @Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from the king which he did not explain to her.

nasb@1Kings:10:5 @the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his waiters and their attire, his cupbearers, and his stairway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

nasb@1Kings:10:7" @Nevertheless I did not believe the reports, until I came and my eyes had seen it. And behold, the half was not told me. You exceed in wisdom and prosperity the report which I heard.

nasb@1Kings:10:12 @The king made of the almug trees supports for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also lyres and harps for the singers; such almug trees have not come in again nor have they been seen to this day.

nasb@1Kings:10:14 @Now the weight of gold which came in to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

nasb@1Kings:10:15 @besides that from the traders and the wares of the merchants and all the kings of the Arabs and the governors of the country.

nasb@1Kings:10:17 @He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three minas of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

nasb@1Kings:10:20 @Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom.

nasb@1Kings:10:21 @All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:10:26 @Now Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

nasb@1Kings:11:1 @Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh- Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women,

nasb@1Kings:11:2 @from the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, " You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods." Solomon held fast to these in love.

nasb@1Kings:11:4 @For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

nasb@1Kings:11:6 @Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not follow the LORD fully, as David his father had done.

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

nasb@1Kings:11:10 @and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not observe what the LORD had commanded.

nasb@1Kings:11:11 @So the LORD said to Solomon, "Because you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

nasb@1Kings:11:19 @Now Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

nasb@1Kings:11:22 @Then Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you are seeking to go to your own country?" And he answered, "Nothing; nevertheless you must surely let me go."

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

nasb@1Kings:11:27 @Now this was the reason why he rebelled against the king- Solomon built the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of his father David.

nasb@1Kings:11:28 @Now the man Jeroboam was a valiant warrior, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, he appointed him over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.

nasb@1Kings:11:29 @It came about at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had clothed himself with a new cloak; and both of them were alone in the field.

nasb@1Kings:11:33 @because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, doing what is right in My sight and observing My statutes and My ordinances, as his father David did.

nasb@1Kings:11:34 @'Nevertheless I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of My servant David whom I chose, who observed My commandments and My statutes;

nasb@1Kings:11:39 @'Thus I will afflict the descendants of David for this, but not always.'"

nasb@1Kings:11:41 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon and whatever he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

nasb@1Kings:12:2 @Now when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, he was living in Egypt (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon).

nasb@1Kings:12:4" @ Your father made our yoke hard; now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."

nasb@1Kings:12:10 @The young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall say to this people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, now you make it lighter for us!' But you shall speak to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's loins!

nasb@1Kings:12:15 @So the king did not listen to the people; for it was a turn of events from the LORD, that He might establish His word, which the LORD spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nasb@1Kings:12:16 @When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; To your tents, O Israel! Now look after your own house, David!" So Israel departed to their tents.

nasb@1Kings:12:20 @It came about when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.

nasb@1Kings:12:21 @Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:12:24 @'Thus says the LORD, "You must not go up and fight against your relatives the sons of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing has come from Me."'" So they listened to the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way according to the word of the LORD.

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

nasb@1Kings:12:30 @Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

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

nasb@1Kings:13:1 @Now behold, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD, while Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

nasb@1Kings:13:4 @Now when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.

nasb@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 with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.

nasb@1Kings:13:9" @For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way which you came.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:10 @So he went another way and did not return by the way which he came to Bethel.

nasb@1Kings:13:11 @Now an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king, these also they related to their father.

nasb@1Kings:13:12 @Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone.

nasb@1Kings:13:16 @He said, " I cannot return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.

nasb@1Kings:13:17" @For a command came to me by the word of the LORD, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there; do not return by going the way which you came.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:20 @Now it came about, as they were sitting down at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back;

nasb@1Kings:13:21 @and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have disobeyed the command of the LORD, and have not observed the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,

nasb@1Kings:13:22 @but have returned and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to you, "Eat no bread and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the grave of your fathers.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:24 @Now when he had gone, a lion met him on the way and killed him, and his body was thrown on the road, with the donkey standing beside it; the lion also was standing beside the body.

nasb@1Kings:13:26 @Now when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard it, he said, "It is the man of God, who disobeyed the command of the LORD; therefore the LORD has given him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to him."

nasb@1Kings:13:28 @He went and found his body thrown on the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside the body; the lion had not eaten the body nor torn the donkey.

nasb@1Kings:13:33 @After this event Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again he made priests of the high places from among all the people; any who would, he ordained, to be priests of the high places.

nasb@1Kings:14:2 @Jeroboam said to his wife, "Arise now, and disguise yourself so that they will not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who spoke concerning me that I would be king over this people.

nasb@1Kings:14:4 @Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.

nasb@1Kings:14:5 @Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when she arrives that she will pretend to be another woman."

nasb@1Kings:14:6 @When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming in the doorway, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why do you pretend to be another woman? For I am sent to you with a harsh message.

nasb@1Kings:14:8 @and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you-- yet you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only that which was right in My sight;

nasb@1Kings:14:12" @Now you, arise, go to your house. When your feet enter the city the child will die.

nasb@1Kings:14:14" @Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam this day and from now on.

nasb@1Kings:14:19 @Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:14:21 @Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

nasb@1Kings:14:25 @Now it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

nasb@1Kings:15:1 @Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

nasb@1Kings:15:3 @He walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David.

nasb@1Kings:15:5 @because David did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.

nasb@1Kings:15:7 @Now the rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

nasb@1Kings:15:14 @But the high places were not taken away; nevertheless the heart of Asa was wholly devoted to the LORD all his days.

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

nasb@1Kings:15:22 @Then King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah--none was exempt--and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber with which Baasha had built. And King Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah.

nasb@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.

nasb@1Kings:15:29 @It came about as soon as he was king, he struck down all the household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam any persons alive, until he had destroyed them, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

nasb@1Kings:15:9 @His servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was at Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household at Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:11 @It came about when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave a single male, neither of his relatives nor of his friends.

nasb@1Kings:15:29 @Now Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

nasb@1Kings:16:1 @Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, " As the LORD, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word."

nasb@1Kings:16:7 @It happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

nasb@1Kings:16:12 @But she said, " As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."

nasb@1Kings:16:13 @Then Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.

nasb@1Kings:16:16 @The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah.

nasb@1Kings:16:17 @Now it came about after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

nasb@1Kings:16:24 @Then the woman said to Elijah, " Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth."

nasb@1Kings:17:1 @Now it happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, "Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the face of the earth."

nasb@1Kings:17:2 @So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:17:3 @Ahab called Obadiah who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;

nasb@1Kings:17:5 @Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle."

nasb@1Kings:17:6 @So they divided the land between them to survey it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself.

nasb@1Kings:17:7 @Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is this you, Elijah my master?"

nasb@1Kings:17:10" @ As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent to search for you; and when they said, 'He is not here,' he made the kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you.

nasb@1Kings:17:12" @It will come about when I leave you that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you where I do not know; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.

nasb@1Kings:17:13" @ Has it not been told to my master what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, that I hid a hundred prophets of the LORD by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water?

nasb@1Kings:17:14" @And now you are saying, 'Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here"'; he will then kill me."

nasb@1Kings:17:18 @He said, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, because you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and you have followed the Baals.

nasb@1Kings:17:19" @Now then send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."

nasb@1Kings:17:21 @Elijah came near to all the people and said, " How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.

nasb@1Kings:17:23" @Now let them give us two oxen; and let them choose one ox for themselves and cut it up, and place it on the wood, but put no fire under it; and I will prepare the other ox and lay it on the wood, and I will not put a fire under it.

nasb@1Kings:17:25 @So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one ox for yourselves and prepare it first for you are many, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it."

nasb@1Kings:17:26 @Then they took the ox which was given them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon saying, "O Baal, answer us." But there was no voice and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they made.

nasb@1Kings:17:27 @It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, "Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened."

nasb@1Kings:17:29 @When midday was past, they raved until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.

nasb@1Kings:17:32 @So 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 measures of seed.

nasb@1Kings:17:36 @At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, " O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word.

nasb@1Kings:17:37" @Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again."

nasb@1Kings:17:40 @Then Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape." So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

nasb@1Kings:17:41 @Now Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower."

nasb@1Kings:17:43 @He said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go back" seven times.

nasb@1Kings:17:44 @It came about at the seventh time, that he said, "Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.'"

nasb@1Kings:18:1 @Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.

nasb@1Kings:18:2 @Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, " So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

nasb@1Kings:18:4 @But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers."

nasb@1Kings:18:11 @So He said, " Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

nasb@1Kings:18:12 @After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing.

nasb@1Kings:18:15 @The LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and when you have arrived, you shall anoint Hazael king over Aram;

nasb@1Kings:19:7 @Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, "Please observe and see how this man is looking for trouble; for he sent to me for my wives and my children and my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him."

nasb@1Kings:19:8 @All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent."

nasb@1Kings:19:9 @So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.'" And the messengers departed and brought him word again.

nasb@1Kings:19:13 @Now behold, a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver them into your hand today, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"

nasb@1Kings:19:16 @They went out at noon, while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the temporary shelters with the thirty-two kings who helped him.

nasb@1Kings:19:23 @Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, " Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we; but rather let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.

nasb@1Kings:19:28 @Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because the Arameans have said, " The LORD is a god of the mountains, but He is not a god of the valleys," therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"

nasb@1Kings:19:31 @His servants said to him, "Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings, please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save your life."

nasb@1Kings:19:33 @Now the men took this as an omen, and quickly catching his word said, "Your brother Ben-hadad." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he took him up into the chariot.

nasb@1Kings:19:35 @Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of the LORD, "Please strike me." But the man refused to strike him.

nasb@1Kings:19:36 @Then he said to him, "Because you have not listened to the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you." And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him and killed him.

nasb@1Kings:19:37 @Then he found another man and said, "Please strike me." And the man struck him, wounding him.

nasb@1Kings:20:1 @Now it came about after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:20:4 @So Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and ate no food.

nasb@1Kings:21:34 @Now a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel in a joint of the armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around and take me out of the fight; for I am severely wounded."

nasb@1Kings:21:38 @They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood (now the harlots bathed themselves there), according to the word of the LORD which He spoke.

nasb@1Kings:21:39 @Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did and the ivory house which he built and all the cities which he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

nasb@1Kings:21:41 @Now Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:21:43 @He walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the LORD. However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

nasb@1Kings:21:45 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he showed and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

nasb@1Kings:21:47 @Now there was no king in Edom; a deputy was king.

nasb@1Kings:21:48 @Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

nasb@1Kings:21:49 @Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your servants in the ships." But Jehoshaphat was not willing.

nasb@2Kings:1:1 @Now Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

nasb@2Kings:1:3 @But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and say to them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?'

nasb@2Kings:1:4" @Now therefore thus says the LORD, ' You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you shall surely die.'" Then Elijah departed.

nasb@2Kings:1:6 @They said to him, "A man came up to meet us and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you and say to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'"

nasb@2Kings:1:11 @So he again sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he said to him, "O man of God, thus says the king, 'Come down quickly.'"

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

nasb@2Kings:1:15 @The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of him." So he arose and went down with him to the king.

nasb@2Kings:1:16 @Then he said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron--is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word?--therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"

nasb@2Kings:1:17 @So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And because he had no son, Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.

nasb@2Kings:1:18 @Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of IsraelNULL

nasb@2Kings:2:2 @Elijah said to Elisha, " Stay here please, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." But Elisha said, " As the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.

nasb@2Kings:2:3 @Then the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he said, "Yes, I know; be still."

nasb@2Kings:2:4 @Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho." But he said, " As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.

nasb@2Kings:2:5 @The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, " Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he answered, "Yes, I know; be still."

nasb@2Kings:2:6 @Then Elijah said to him, "Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." And he said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So the two of them went on.

nasb@2Kings:2:7 @Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.

nasb@2Kings:2:10 @He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."

nasb@2Kings:2:12 @Elisha saw it and cried out, " My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.

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

nasb@2Kings:2:16 @They said to him, "Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men, please let them go and search for your master; perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him on some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send."

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

nasb@2Kings:2:18 @They returned to him while he was staying at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not say to you, 'Do not go'?"

nasb@2Kings:2:19 @Then the men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold now, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the land is unfruitful."

nasb@2Kings:2:21 @He went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'I have purified these waters; there shall not be from there death or unfruitfulness any longer.'"

nasb@2Kings:3:1 @Now Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

nasb@2Kings:3:2 @He did evil in the sight of the LORD, though not like his father and his mother; for he put away the sacred pillar of Baal which his father had made.

nasb@2Kings:3:3 @Nevertheless, he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.

nasb@2Kings:3:4 @Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and used to pay the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.

nasb@2Kings:3:9 @So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army or for the cattle that followed them.

nasb@2Kings:3:11 @But Jehoshaphat said, " Is there not a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?" And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, " Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who used to pour water on the hands of Elijah."

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

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

nasb@2Kings:3:15" @But now bring me a minstrel." And it came about, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.

nasb@2Kings:3:17" @For thus says the LORD, 'You shall not see wind nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink, both you and your cattle and your beasts.

nasb@2Kings:3:21 @Now all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. And all who were able to put on armor and older were summoned and stood on the border.

nasb@2Kings:3:23 @Then they said, "This is blood; the kings have surely fought together, and they have slain one another. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil!"

nasb@2Kings:3:26 @When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him 700 men who drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.

nasb@2Kings:4:1 @Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves."

nasb@2Kings:4:2 @Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil."

nasb@2Kings:4:3 @Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not get a few.

nasb@2Kings:4:6 @When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not one vessel more." And the oil stopped.

nasb@2Kings:4:8 @Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food.

nasb@2Kings:4:9 @She said to her husband, "Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually.

nasb@2Kings:4:13 @He said to him, "Say now to her, 'Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what can I do for you? Would you be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the army?'" And she answered, "I live among my own people."

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

nasb@2Kings:4:16 @Then he said, " At this season next year you will embrace a son." And she said, "No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant."

nasb@2Kings:4:20 @When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then died.

nasb@2Kings:4:23 @He said, "Why will you go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath." And she said, "It will be well."

nasb@2Kings:4:24 @Then she saddled a donkey and said to her servant, "Drive and go forward; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you."

nasb@2Kings:4:26" @Please run now to meet her and say to her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."

nasb@2Kings:4:27 @When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me."

nasb@2Kings:4:28 @Then she said, "Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, ' Do not deceive me'?"

nasb@2Kings:4:29 @Then he said to Gehazi, " Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand, and go your way; if you meet any man, do not salute him, and if anyone salutes you, do not answer him; and lay my staff on the lad's face."

nasb@2Kings:4:30 @The mother of the lad said, " As the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." And he arose and followed her.

nasb@2Kings:4:31 @Then Gehazi passed on before them and laid the staff on the lad's face, but there was no sound or response. So he returned to meet him and told him, "The lad has not awakened."

nasb@2Kings:4:39 @Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine and gathered from it his lap full of wild gourds, and came and sliced them into the pot of stew, for they did not know what they were.

nasb@2Kings:4:41 @But he said, "Now bring meal." He threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people that they may eat." Then there was no harm in the pot.

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

nasb@2Kings:5:1 @Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and highly respected, because by him the LORD had given victory to Aram. The man was also a valiant warrior, but he was a leper.

nasb@2Kings:5:2 @Now the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken captive a little girl from the land of Israel; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

nasb@2Kings:5:5 @Then the king of Aram said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." He departed and took with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold and ten changes of clothes.

nasb@2Kings:5:6 @He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy."

nasb@2Kings:5:7 @When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, " Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he is seeking a quarrel against me."

nasb@2Kings:5:8 @It happened when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent word to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Now let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."

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

nasb@2Kings:5:13 @Then his servants came near and spoke to him and said, " My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean'?"

nasb@2Kings:5:15 @When he returned to the man of God with all his company, and came and stood before him, he said, "Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; so please take a present from your servant now."

nasb@2Kings:5:16 @But he said, " As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will take nothing." And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

nasb@2Kings:5:17 @Naaman said, "If not, please let your servant at least be given two mules' load of earth; for your servant will no longer offer burnt offering nor will he sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:5:20 @But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, thought, "Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, by not receiving from his hands what he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."

nasb@2Kings:5:22 @He said, " All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'"

nasb@2Kings:5:25 @But he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, "Where have you been, Gehazi?" And he said, " Your servant went nowhere."

nasb@2Kings:5:26 @Then he said to him, "Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money and to receive clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and male and female servants?

nasb@2Kings:5:27" @Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever." So he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

nasb@2Kings:5:6 @Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Behold now, the place before you where we are living is too limited for us.

nasb@2Kings:5:8 @Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel; and he counseled with his servants saying, "In such and such a place shall be my camp."

nasb@2Kings:5:9 @The man of God sent word to the king of Israel saying, "Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Arameans are coming down there."

nasb@2Kings:5:11 @Now the heart of the king of Aram was enraged over this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, "Will you tell me which of us is for the king of Israel?"

nasb@2Kings:5:12 @One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom."

nasb@2Kings:5:15 @Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"

nasb@2Kings:5:16 @So he answered, " Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

nasb@2Kings:5:19 @Then 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." And he brought them to Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:5:22 @He answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master."

nasb@2Kings:5:23 @So he prepared a great feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.

nasb@2Kings:5:24 @Now it came about after this, that Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army and went up and besieged Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:5:27 @He said, "If the LORD does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?"

nasb@2Kings:5:30 @When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes--now he was passing by on the wall--and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth beneath on his body.

nasb@2Kings:5:32 @Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from his presence; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"

nasb@2Kings:6:2 @The royal officer on whose hand the king was leaning answered the man of God and said, "Behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" Then he said, "Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat of it."

nasb@2Kings:6:3 @Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?

nasb@2Kings:6:4" @If we say, 'We will enter the city,' then the famine is in the city and we will die there; and if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they spare us, we will live; and if they kill us, we will but die."

nasb@2Kings:6:5 @They arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans; when they came to the outskirts of the camp of the Arameans, behold, there was no one there.

nasb@2Kings:6:6 @For the Lord had caused the army of the Arameans to hear a sound of chariots and a sound of horses, even the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, "Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us."

nasb@2Kings:6:8 @When these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they entered one tent and ate and drank, and carried from there silver and gold and clothes, and went and hid them; and they returned and entered another tent and carried from there also, and went and hid them.

nasb@2Kings:6:9 @Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, but we are keeping silent; if we wait until morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."

nasb@2Kings:6:10 @So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and behold, there was no one there, nor the voice of man, only the horses tied and the donkeys tied, and the tents just as they were."

nasb@2Kings:6:12 @Then the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone from the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we will capture them alive and get into the city.'"

nasb@2Kings:6:17 @Now the king appointed the royal officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

nasb@2Kings:6:19 @Then the royal officer answered the man of God and said, "Now behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?" And he said, "Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat of it."

nasb@2Kings:7:1 @Now Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise and go with your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn; for the LORD has called for a famine, and it will even come on the land for seven years."

nasb@2Kings:7:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please relate to me all the great things that Elisha has done."

nasb@2Kings:7:6 @When the king asked the woman, she related it to him. So the king appointed for her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers and all the produce of the field from the day that she left the land even until now."

nasb@2Kings:7:7 @Then Elisha came to Damascus. Now Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and it was told him, saying, " The man of God has come here."

nasb@2Kings:7:12 @Hazael said, "Why does my lord weep?" Then he answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel- their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their little ones you will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up."

nasb@2Kings:7:16 @Now in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then the king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah became king.

nasb@2Kings:7:19 @However, the LORD was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David His servant, since He had promised him to give a lamp to him through his sons always.

nasb@2Kings:7:21 @Then Jehu sent throughout Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And when they went into the house of Baal, the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.

nasb@2Kings:7:23 @Jehu went into the house of Baal with Jehonadab the son of Rechab; and he said to the worshipers of Baal, "Search and see that there is here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but only the worshipers of Baal."

nasb@2Kings:7:24 @Then they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed for himself eighty men outside, and he had said, " The one who permits any of the men whom I bring into your hands to escape shall give up his life in exchange."

nasb@2Kings:8:4 @Now in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him in the house of the LORD. Then he made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.

nasb@2Kings:8:12 @Then he brought the king's son out and put the crown on him and gave him the testimony; and they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, " Long live the king!"

nasb@1Chronicles:9:24 @The gatekeepers were on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:1 @Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:4 @Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised will come and abuse me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:13 @So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,

nasb@1Chronicles:10:14 @and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:3 @So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:5 @The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not enter here." Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David).

nasb@1Chronicles:10:6 @Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:10 @Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:15 @Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:18 @So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD;

nasb@1Chronicles:10:19 @and he said, "Be it far from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:21 @Of the three in the second rank he was the most honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the first three.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:22 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:23 @He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature five cubits tall. Now in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:25 @Behold, he was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three; and David appointed him over his guard.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:26 @Now the mighty men of the armies were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

nasb@1Chronicles:11:1 @Now these are the ones who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still restricted because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men who helped him in war.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:17 @David went out to meet them, and said to them, "If you come peacefully to me to help me, my heart shall be united with you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look on it and decide."

nasb@1Chronicles:11:19 @From Manasseh also some defected to David when he was about to go to battle with the Philistines against Saul. But they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines after consultation sent him away, saying, "At the cost of our heads he may defect to his master Saul."

nasb@1Chronicles:11:23 @Now these are the numbers of the divisions equipped for war, who came to David at Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:27 @Now Jehoiada was the leader of the house of Aaron, and with him were 3,700,

nasb@1Chronicles:11:29 @Of the sons of Benjamin, Saul's kinsmen, 3,000; for until now the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the house of Saul.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:32 @Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:3 @and let us bring back the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul."

nasb@1Chronicles:12:13 @So David did not take the ark with him to the city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:1 @Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons and carpenters, to build a house for him.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:6 @Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

nasb@1Chronicles:13:8 @When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:9 @Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:13 @The Philistines made yet another raid in the valley.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:14 @David inquired again of God, and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:1 @Now David built houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:2 @Then David said, " No one is to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for the LORD chose them to carry the ark of God and to minister to Him forever."

nasb@1Chronicles:14:13" @ Because you did not carry it at the first, the LORD our God made an outburst on us, for we did not seek Him according to the ordinance."

nasb@1Chronicles:14:27 @Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen with all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers. David also wore an ephod of linen.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:8 @Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:20 @And they wandered about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people,

nasb@1Chronicles:16:7" @Now, therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:9" @I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly,

nasb@1Chronicles:16:18" @What more can David still say to You concerning the honor bestowed on Your servant? For You know Your servant.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:19" @O LORD, for Your servant's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have wrought all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:20" @O LORD, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:23" @Now, O LORD, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do as You have spoken.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:26" @Now, O LORD, You are God, and have promised this good thing to Your servant.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:27" @And now it has pleased You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, O LORD, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."

nasb@1Chronicles:17:1 @Now after this it came about that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:4 @David took from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:9 @Now when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,

nasb@1Chronicles:18:1 @Now it came about after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:3 @But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David is honoring your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nasb@1Chronicles:18:10 @Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and in the rear, he selected from all the choice men of Israel and they arrayed themselves against the Arameans.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:19 @So when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. Thus the Arameans were not willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:4 @Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:2 @So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, " Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:3 @Joab said, " May the LORD add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"

nasb@1Chronicles:20:6 @But he did not number Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's command was abhorrent to Joab.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:8 @David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. But now, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:12 @either three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.' Now, therefore, consider what answer I shall return to Him who sent me."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:13 @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."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:15 @And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it, the LORD saw and was sorry over the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now relax your hand." And the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:17 @David said to God, "Is it not I who commanded to count the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and done very wickedly, but these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your hand be against me and my father's household, but not against Your people that they should be plagued."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:20 @Now Ornan turned back and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. And Ornan was threshing wheat.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:24 @But 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, or offer a burnt offering which costs me nothing."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:30 @But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was terrified by the sword of the angel of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:5 @David said, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the LORD shall be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore now I will make preparation for it." So David made ample preparations before his death.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:8" @But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ' You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:1 @Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:11 @Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father's household, one class.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:17 @The son of Eliezer was Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:22 @Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters only, so their brothers, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:2" @Now with all my ability I have provided for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, onyx stones and inlaid stones, stones of antimony and stones of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones and alabaster in abundance.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:12" @ Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:13" @Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:15" @For we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:17" @Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:20 @Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." And all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:25 @The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:26 @Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:28 @Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:29 @Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of Gad the seer,

nasb@2Chronicles:1:1 @Now Solomon the son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and exalted him greatly.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:5 @Now the bronze altar, which Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD, and Solomon and the assembly sought it out.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:9" @Now, O LORD God, Your promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:10" @ Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?"

nasb@2Chronicles:1:11 @God said to Solomon, "Because you had this in mind, and did not ask for riches, wealth or honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor have you even asked for long life, but you have asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may rule My people over whom I have made you king,

nasb@2Chronicles:1:12 @wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings who were before you has possessed nor those who will come after you."

nasb@2Chronicles:2:1 @Now Solomon decided to build a house for the name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:6" @But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? So who am I, that I should build a house for Him, except to burn incense before Him?

nasb@2Chronicles:2:7" @Now send me a skilled man to work in gold, silver, brass and iron, and in purple, crimson and violet fabrics, and who knows how to make engravings, to work with the skilled men whom I have in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:8" @ Send me also cedar, cypress and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber of Lebanon; and indeed my servants will work with your servants,

nasb@2Chronicles:2:10" @Now behold, I will give to your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, 20,000 kors of crushed wheat and 20,000 kors of barley, and 20,000 baths of wine and 20,000 baths of oil."

nasb@2Chronicles:2:13" @Now I am sending Huram-abi, a skilled man, endowed with understanding,

nasb@2Chronicles:2:14 @the son of a Danite woman and a Tyrian father, who knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone and wood, and in purple, violet, linen and crimson fabrics, and who knows how to make all kinds of engravings and to execute any design which may be assigned to him, to work with your skilled men and with those of my lord David your father.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:15" @Now then, let my lord send to his servants wheat and barley, oil and wine, of which he has spoken.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:16" @ We will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon and bring it to you on rafts by sea to Joppa, so that you may carry it up to Jerusalem."

nasb@2Chronicles:3:3 @Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:8 @Now he made the room of the holy of holies- its length across the width of the house was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 600 talents.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:3 @Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast in one piece.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:4 @It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inwards.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:18 @Thus Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:6 @And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:9 @The poles were so long that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; and they are there to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:10 @There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:14 @so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:5 @'Since the day that I brought My people from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man for a leader over My people Israel;

nasb@2Chronicles:5:7" @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:9 @'Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he shall build the house for My name.'

nasb@2Chronicles:5:10" @Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in the place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:13 @Now Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt on his knees in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:14 @He said, "O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no god like You in heaven or on earth, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart;

nasb@2Chronicles:5:16" @Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David, my father, that which You have promised him, saying, ' You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way, to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.'

nasb@2Chronicles:5:17" @Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let Your word be confirmed which You have spoken to Your servant David.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:18" @But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:26" @When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin when You afflict them;

nasb@2Chronicles:5:29 @whatever prayer or supplication is made by any man or by all Your people Israel, each knowing his own affliction and his own pain, and spreading his hands toward this house,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:30 @then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:32" @Also concerning the foreigner who is not from Your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for Your great name's sake and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:33 @then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, and fear You as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:36" @When they sin against You ( for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to a land far off or near,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:40" @Now, O my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:41" @ Now therefore arise, O LORD God, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your might; let Your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation and let Your godly ones rejoice in what is good.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:42" @O LORD God, do not turn away the face of Your anointed; remember Your lovingkindness to Your servant David."

nasb@2Chronicles:6:1 @Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:2 @The priests could not enter into the house of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD'S house.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:7 @Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD, for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt offering, the grain offering and the fat.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:13" @ If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,

nasb@2Chronicles:6:15" @ Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:16" @For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:18 @then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying, ' You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.'

nasb@2Chronicles:7:1 @Now it came about at the end of the twenty years in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house

nasb@2Chronicles:7:6 @and Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:7 @All of the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,

nasb@2Chronicles:7:8 @namely, from their descendants who were left after them in the land whom the sons of Israel had not destroyed, them Solomon raised as forced laborers to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:9 @But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel; they were men of war, his chief captains and commanders of his chariots and his horsemen.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:11 @Then Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy where the ark of the LORD has entered."

nasb@2Chronicles:7:14 @Now according to the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their duties of praise and ministering before the priests according to the daily rule, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at every gate; for David the man of God had so commanded.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:15 @And they did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites in any manner or concerning the storehouses.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:1 @Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with difficult questions. She had a very large retinue, with camels carrying spices and a large amount of gold and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was on her heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:2 @Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from Solomon which he did not explain to her.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:6" @Nevertheless I did not believe their reports until I came and my eyes had seen it. And behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You surpass the report that I heard.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:11 @From the algum trees the king made steps for the house of the LORD and for the king's palace, and lyres and harps for the singers; and none like that was seen before in the land of Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

nasb@2Chronicles:8:14 @besides that which the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:16 @He made 300 shields of beaten gold, using three hundred shekels of gold on each shield, and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:19 @Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:20 @All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:25 @Now Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:29 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

nasb@2Chronicles:9:4" @Your father made our yoke hard; now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."

nasb@2Chronicles:9:15 @So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of events from God that the LORD might establish His word, which He spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:16 @When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them the people answered the king, saying, " What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel; Now look after your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:1 @Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:4 @'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up or fight against your relatives; return every man to his house, for this thing is from Me."'" So they listened to the words of the LORD and returned from going against Jeroboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:7 @When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, " They have humbled themselves so I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some measure of deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:12 @And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and also conditions were good in Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:13 @So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:14 @He did evil because he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:15 @Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, according to genealogical enrollment? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:2 @He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:5" @Do you not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the rule over Israel forever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt?

nasb@2Chronicles:12:7 @and worthless men gathered about him, scoundrels, who proved too strong for Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and timid and could not hold his own against them.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:8" @So now you intend to resist the kingdom of the LORD through the sons of David, being a great multitude and having with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made for gods for you.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:9" @ Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of what are no gods.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:10" @But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the sons of Aaron are ministering to the LORD as priests, and the Levites attend to their work.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:12" @Now behold, God is with us at our head and His priests with the signal trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you will not succeed."

nasb@2Chronicles:12:20 @Jeroboam did not again recover strength in the days of Abijah; and the LORD struck him and he died.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:22 @Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways and his words are written in the treatise of the prophet Iddo.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:6 @He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and there was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:8 @Now Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 from Benjamin, bearing shields and wielding bows; all of them were valiant warriors.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:9 @Now Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and he came to Mareshah.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:11 @Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You."

nasb@2Chronicles:13:13 @Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar; and so many Ethiopians fell that they could not recover, for they were shattered before the LORD and before His army. And they carried away very much plunder.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:1 @Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded,

nasb@2Chronicles:14:5" @ In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:7" @But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work."

nasb@2Chronicles:14:8 @Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD which was in front of the porch of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:13 @and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:17 @But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa's heart was blameless all his days.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:19 @And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:7 @At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, " Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:8" @Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:9" @For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars."

nasb@2Chronicles:15:11 @Now, the acts of Asa from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:12 @In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:3 @The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father David's earlier days and did not seek the Baals,

nasb@2Chronicles:16:4 @but sought the God of his father, followed His commandments, and did not act as Israel did.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:5 @So the LORD established the kingdom in his control, and all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:10 @Now the dread of the LORD was on all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:1 @Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; and he allied himself by marriage with Ahab.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:6 @But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here that we may inquire of him?"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:7 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me but always evil. He is Micaiah, son of Imla." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:9 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:15 @Then the king said to him, "How many times must I adjure you to speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:16 @So he said, "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no shepherd; And the LORD said, 'These have no master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:17 @Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:19" @The LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said this while another said that.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:22" @Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, for the LORD has proclaimed disaster against you."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:25 @Then the king of Israel said, " Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

nasb@2Chronicles:17:27 @Micaiah said, "If you indeed return safely, the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, " Listen, all you people."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:30 @Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Do not fight with small or great, but with the king of Israel alone."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:32 @When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:6 @He said to the judges, "Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the LORD who is with you when you render judgment.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:7" @Now then let the fear of the LORD be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the LORD our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe."

nasb@2Chronicles:18:10" @ Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brethren who live in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them so that they may not be guilty before the LORD, and wrath may not come on you and your brethren. Thus you shall do and you will not be guilty.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:1 @Now it came about after this that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:6 @and he said, "O LORD, the God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? And are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:7" @Did You not, O our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?

nasb@2Chronicles:19:10" @Now behold, the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt (they turned aside from them and did not destroy them),

nasb@2Chronicles:19:12" @O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:15 @and he said, "Listen, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat- thus says the LORD to you, ' Do not fear or be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God's.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:17 @'You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for the LORD is with you."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:23 @For the sons of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir destroying them completely; and when they had finished with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:24 @When Judah came to the lookout of the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude, and behold, they were corpses lying on the ground, and no one had escaped.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:31 @Now Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:32 @He walked in the way of his father Asa and did not depart from it, doing right in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:33 @The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:34 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first to last, behold, they are written in the annals of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:37 @Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." So the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:4 @Now when Jehoram had taken over the kingdom of his father and made himself secure, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and some of the rulers of Israel also.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:7 @Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:12 @Then a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet saying, "Thus says the LORD God of your father David, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father and the ways of Asa king of Judah,

nasb@2Chronicles:20:17 @and they came against Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions found in the king's house together with his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:19 @Now it came about in the course of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels came out because of his sickness and he died in great pain. And his people made no fire for him like the fire for his fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:20 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years; and he departed with no one's regret, and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:7 @Now the destruction of Ahaziah was from God, in that he went to Joram. For when he came, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:9 @He also sought Ahaziah, and they caught him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, put him to death and buried him. For they said, "He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So there was no one of the house of Ahaziah to retain the power of the kingdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:10 @Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:11 @But Jehoshabeath the king's daughter took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons who were being put to death, and placed him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she would not put him to death.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:1 @Now in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took captains of hundreds- Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Johanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, and they entered into a covenant with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:6" @But let no one enter the house of the LORD except the priests and the ministering Levites; they may enter, for they are holy. And let all the people keep the charge of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:8 @So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss any of the divisions.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:11 @Then they brought out the king's son and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, " Long live the king!"

nasb@2Chronicles:22:12 @When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came into the house of the LORD to the people.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:14 @Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, put to death with the sword." For the priest said, "Let her not be put to death in the house of the LORD."

nasb@2Chronicles:22:19 @He stationed the gatekeepers of the house of the LORD, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:20 @He took the captains of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and brought the king down from the house of the LORD, and came through the upper gate to the king's house. And they placed the king upon the royal throne.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:4 @Now it came about after this that Joash decided to restore the house of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:5 @He gathered the priests and Levites and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah and collect money from all Israel to repair the house of your God annually, and you shall do the matter quickly." But the Levites did not act quickly.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:6 @So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the levy fixed by Moses the servant of the LORD on the congregation of Israel for the tent of the testimony?"

nasb@2Chronicles:23:15 @Now when Jehoiada reached a ripe old age he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old at his death.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:19 @Yet He sent prophets to them to bring them back to the LORD; though they testified against them, they would not listen.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:20 @Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people and said to them, "Thus God has said, ' Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD and do not prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has also forsaken you.'"

nasb@2Chronicles:23:22 @Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which his father Jehoiada had shown him, but he murdered his son. And as he died he said, "May the LORD see and avenge!"

nasb@2Chronicles:23:23 @Now it happened at the turn of the year that the army of the Arameans came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed all the officials of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:25 @When they had departed from him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and murdered him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:26 @Now these are those who conspired against him- Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:2 @He did right in the sight of the LORD, yet not with a whole heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:3 @Now it came about as soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, that he killed his servants who had slain his father the king.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:4 @However, he did not put their children to death, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, which the LORD commanded, saying, " Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor sons be put to death for fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:7 @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 nor with any of the sons of Ephraim.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:11 @Now Amaziah strengthened himself and led his people forth, and went to the Valley of Salt and struck down 10,000 of the sons of Seir.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:14 @Now after Amaziah came from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, set them up as his gods, bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:15 @Then the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, "Why have you sought the gods of the people who have not delivered their own people from your hand?"

nasb@2Chronicles:24:16 @As he was talking with him, the king said to him, "Have we appointed you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be struck down?" Then the prophet stopped and said, "I know that God has planned to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:18 @Joash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, " The thorn bush which was in Lebanon sent to the cedar which was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage.' But there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon and trampled the thorn bush.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:19" @You said, 'Behold, you have defeated Edom.' And your heart has become proud in boasting. Now stay at home; for why should you provoke trouble so that you, even you, would fall and Judah with you?"

nasb@2Chronicles:24:20 @But Amaziah would not listen, for it was from God, that He might deliver them into the hand of Joash because they had sought the gods of Edom.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:26 @Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from first to last, behold, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?

nasb@2Chronicles:25:6 @Now he went out and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the area of Ashdod and among the Philistines.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:18 @They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, " It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from the LORD God."

nasb@2Chronicles:25:22 @Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first to last, the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, has written.

nasb@2Chronicles:26:2 @He did right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done; however he did not enter the temple of the LORD. But the people continued acting corruptly.

nasb@2Chronicles:26:7 @Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, even all his wars and his acts, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:1 @Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do right in the sight of the LORD as David his father had done.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:3 @Moreover, he burned incense in the valley of Ben-hinnom and burned his sons in fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had driven out before the sons of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:10" @Now you are proposing to subjugate for yourselves the people of Judah and Jerusalem for male and female slaves. Surely, do you not have transgressions of your own against the LORD your God?

nasb@2Chronicles:27:11" @Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives whom you captured from your brothers, for the burning anger of the LORD is against you."

nasb@2Chronicles:27:13 @and said to them, "You must not bring the captives in here, for you are proposing to bring upon us guilt against the LORD adding to our sins and our guilt; for our guilt is great so that His burning anger is against Israel."

nasb@2Chronicles:27:15 @Then the men who were designated by name arose, took the captives, and they clothed all their naked ones from the spoil; and they gave them clothes and sandals, fed them and gave them drink, anointed them with oil, led all their feeble ones on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers; then they returned to Samaria.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:21 @Although Ahaz took a portion out of the house of the LORD and out of the palace of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:22 @Now in the time of his distress this same King Ahaz became yet more unfaithful to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:26 @Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:27 @So Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:5 @Then he said to them, "Listen to me, O Levites. Consecrate yourselves now, and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry the uncleanness out from the holy place.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:7" @They have also shut the doors of the porch and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:10" @Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that His burning anger may turn away from us.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:11" @My sons, do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to minister to Him, and to be His ministers and burn incense."

nasb@2Chronicles:28:17 @Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they entered the porch of the LORD. Then they consecrated the house of the LORD in eight days, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:29 @Now at the completion of the burnt offerings, the king and all who were present with him bowed down and worshiped.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:31 @Then Hezekiah said, " Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD." And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all those who were willing brought burnt offerings.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:1 @Now Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:3 @since they could not celebrate it at that time, because the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, nor had the people been gathered to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:5 @So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as it was prescribed.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:7" @ Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were unfaithful to the LORD God of their fathers, so that He made them a horror, as you see.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:8" @Now do not stiffen your neck like your fathers, but yield to the LORD and enter His sanctuary which He has consecrated forever, and serve the LORD your God, that His burning anger may turn away from you.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:9" @For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him."

nasb@2Chronicles:29:13 @Now many people were gathered at Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month, a very large assembly.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:17 @For there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves; therefore, the Levites were over the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was unclean, in order to consecrate them to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:18 @For a multitude of the people, even many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than prescribed. For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD pardon

nasb@2Chronicles:29:19 @everyone who prepares his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though not according to the purification rules of the sanctuary."

nasb@2Chronicles:29:23 @Then the whole assembly decided to celebrate the feast another seven days, so they celebrated the seven days with joy.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem, because there was nothing like this in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:1 @Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherim and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:10 @Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok said to him, " Since the contributions began to be brought into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat with plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed His people, and this great quantity is left over."

nasb@2Chronicles:31:2 @Now when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to make war on Jerusalem,

nasb@2Chronicles:31:5 @And he took courage and rebuilt all the wall that had been broken down and erected towers on it, and built another outside wall and strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great number.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:7" @ Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:11 @'Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give yourselves over to die by hunger and by thirst, saying, "The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria"?

nasb@2Chronicles:31:12 @' Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, "You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense"?

nasb@2Chronicles:31:13 @'Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands able at all to deliver their land from my hand?

nasb@2Chronicles:31:15 @'Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?'"

nasb@2Chronicles:31:17 @He also wrote letters to insult the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, " As the gods of the nations of the lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand."

nasb@2Chronicles:31:25 @But Hezekiah gave no return for the benefit he received, because his heart was proud; therefore wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:26 @However, Hezekiah humbled the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:27 @Now Hezekiah had immense riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields and all kinds of valuable articles,

nasb@2Chronicles:31:31 @Even in the matter of the envoys of the rulers of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone only to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:32 @Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of devotion, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:33 @So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper section of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. And his son Manasseh became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:32:6 @He made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger.

nasb@2Chronicles:32:8 @and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them according to all the law, the statutes and the ordinances given through Moses."

nasb@2Chronicles:32:10 @The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention.

nasb@2Chronicles:32:14 @Now after this he built the outer wall of the city of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance of the Fish Gate; and he encircled the Ophel with it and made it very high. Then he put army commanders in all the fortified cities of Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:32:23 @Moreover, he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done, but Amon multiplied guilt.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:2 @He did right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David and did not turn aside to the right or to the left.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:8 @Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah an official of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:21" @Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book which has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD which is poured out on us because our fathers have not observed the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book."

nasb@Ezra:4:5 @But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not stop them until a report could come to Darius, and then a written reply be returned concerning it.

nasb@Ezra:4:6 @This is the copy of the letter which Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai and his colleagues the officials, who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king.

nasb@Ezra:4:8" @Let it be known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with huge stones, and beams are being laid in the walls; and this work is going on with great care and is succeeding in their hands.

nasb@Ezra:4:14 @'Also the gold and silver utensils of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, these King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon and they were given to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor.

nasb@Ezra:4:16 @'Then that Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem; and from then until now it has been under construction and it is not yet completed.'

nasb@Ezra:4:17" @Now if it pleases the king, let a search be conducted in the king's treasure house, which is there in Babylon, if it be that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to rebuild this house of God at Jerusalem; and let the king send to us his decision concerning this matter."

nasb@Ezra:5:6" @Now therefore, Tattenai, governor of the province beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai and your colleagues, the officials of the provinces beyond the River, keep away from there.

nasb@Ezra:5:7" @Leave this work on the house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its site.

nasb@Ezra:5:9" @Whatever is needed, both young bulls, rams, and lambs for a burnt offering to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine and anointing oil, as the priests in Jerusalem request, it is to be given to them daily without fail,

nasb@Ezra:5:13 @Then Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai and their colleagues carried out the decree with all diligence, just as King Darius had sent.

nasb@Ezra:6:1 @Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, there went up Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,

nasb@Ezra:6:11 @Now this is the copy of the decree which King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, learned in the words of the commandments of the LORD and His statutes to Israel-

nasb@Ezra:6:12" @Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace. And now

nasb@Ezra:6:23" @Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done with zeal for the house of the God of heaven, so that there will not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons.

nasb@Ezra:6:24" @We also inform you that it is not allowed to impose tax, tribute or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim or servants of this house of God.

nasb@Ezra:6:25" @You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God which is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges that they may judge all the people who are in the province beyond the River, even all those who know the laws of your God; and you may teach anyone who is ignorant of them.

nasb@Ezra:6:26" @ Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him strictly, whether for death or for banishment or for confiscation of goods or for imprisonment."

nasb@Ezra:7:1 @Now these are the heads of their fathers' households and the genealogical enrollment of those who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of King Artaxerxes-

nasb@Ezra:7:15 @Now I assembled them at the river that runs to Ahava, where we camped for three days; and when I observed the people and the priests, I did not find any Levites there.

nasb@Ezra:7:33 @On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the utensils were weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui.

nasb@Ezra:7:36 @Then they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps and to the governors in the provinces beyond the River, and they supported the people and the house of God.

nasb@Ezra:7:9 @Now when these things had been completed, the princes approached me, saying, "The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, according to their abominations, those of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians and the Amorites.

nasb@Ezra:7:8" @But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us an escaped remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage.

nasb@Ezra:7:9" @ For we are slaves; yet in our bondage our God has not forsaken us, but has extended lovingkindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us reviving to raise up the house of our God, to restore its ruins and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezra:7:10" @Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,

nasb@Ezra:7:12 @'So now do not give your daughters to their sons nor take their daughters to your sons, and never seek their peace or their prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and leave it as an inheritance to your sons forever.'

nasb@Ezra:7:14 @shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not be angry with us to the point of destruction, until there is no remnant nor any who escape?

nasb@Ezra:7:15" @O LORD God of Israel, You are righteous, for we have been left an escaped remnant, as it is this day; behold, we are before You in our guilt, for no one can stand before You because of this."

nasb@Ezra:8:1 @Now while Ezra was praying and making confession, weeping and prostrating himself before the house of God, a very large assembly, men, women and children, gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept bitterly.

nasb@Ezra:8:2 @Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra, " We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

nasb@Ezra:8:3" @So now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

nasb@Ezra:8:6 @Then Ezra rose from before the house of God and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. Although he went there, he did not eat bread nor drink water, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

nasb@Ezra:8:8 @and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the leaders and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited and he himself excluded from the assembly of the exiles.

nasb@Ezra:8:11" @Now therefore, make confession to the LORD God of your fathers and do His will; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign wives."

nasb@Ezra:8:13" @But there are many people; it is the rainy season and we are not able to stand in the open. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:1 @The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capitol,

nasb@Nehemiah:1:6 @let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am praying before You now, day and night, on behalf of the sons of Israel Your servants, confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have sinned against You; I and my father's house have sinned.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:7" @ We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:11" @O Lord, I beseech You, may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to revere Your name, and make Your servant successful today and grant him compassion before this man." Now I was the cupbearer to the king.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:1 @And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:2 @So the king said to me, "Why is your face sad though you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of heart." Then I was very much afraid.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:3 @I said to the king, " Let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?"

nasb@Nehemiah:2:7 @And I said to the king, "If it please the king, let letters be given me for the governors of the provinces beyond the River, that they may allow me to pass through until I come to Judah,

nasb@Nehemiah:2:9 @Then I came to the governors of the provinces beyond the River and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:12 @And I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anyone what my God was putting into my mind to do for Jerusalem and there was no animal with me except the animal on which I was riding.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:14 @Then I passed on to the Fountain Gate and the King's Pool, but there was no place for my mount to pass.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:16 @The officials did not know where I had gone or what I had done; nor had I as yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials or the rest who did the work.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, "You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned by fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach."

nasb@Nehemiah:2:20 @So I answered them and said to them, " The God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no portion, right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nasb@Nehemiah:3:3 @Now the sons of Hassenaah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:5 @Moreover, next to him the Tekoites made repairs, but their nobles did not support the work of their masters.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:7 @Next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah, also made repairs for the official seat of the governor of the province beyond the River.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:11 @Malchijah the son of Harim and Hasshub the son of Pahath-moab repaired another section and the Tower of Furnaces.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:13 @Hanun and the inhabitants of Zanoah repaired the Valley Gate. They built it and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars, and a thousand cubits of the wall to the Refuse Gate.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:19 @Next to him Ezer the son of Jeshua, the official of Mizpah, repaired another section in front of the ascent of the armory at the Angle.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:20 @After him Baruch the son of Zabbai zealously repaired another section, from the Angle to the doorway of the house of Eliashib the high priest.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:21 @After him Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz repaired another section, from the doorway of Eliashib's house even as far as the end of his house.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:24 @After him Binnui the son of Henadad repaired another section, from the house of Azariah as far as the Angle and as far as the corner.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:27 @After them the Tekoites repaired another section in front of the great projecting tower and as far as the wall of Ophel.

nasb@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 carried out repairs in front of his own quarters.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:1 @Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious and very angry and mocked the Jews.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:3 @Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him and he said, "Even what they are building-- if a fox should jump on it, he would break their stone wall down!"

nasb@Nehemiah:4:5 @Do not forgive their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have demoralized the builders.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:7 @Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were very angry.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:11 @Our enemies said, "They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them and put a stop to the work."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:14 @When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people- " Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:15 @When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had frustrated their plan, then all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:19 @I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall far from one another.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:23 @So neither I, my brothers, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us removed our clothes, each took his weapon even to the water.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:1 @Now there was a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brothers.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:5" @Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:7 @I consulted with myself and contended with the nobles and the rulers and said to them, " You are exacting usury, each from his brother!" Therefore, I held a great assembly against them.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:8 @I said to them, "We according to our ability have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?" Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:9 @Again I said, "The thing which you are doing is not good; should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

nasb@Nehemiah:5:12 @Then they said, "We will give it back and will require nothing from them; we will do exactly as you say." So I called the priests and took an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:13 @I also shook out the front of my garment and said, "Thus may God shake out every man from his house and from his possessions who does not fulfill this promise; even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" And they praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:14 @Moreover, from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor's food allowance.

nasb@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; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so because of the fear of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:16 @I also applied myself to the work on this wall; we did not buy any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:18 @Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand the governor's food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:1 @Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, although at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,

nasb@Nehemiah:6:2 @then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono." But they were planning to harm me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:3 @So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?"

nasb@Nehemiah:6:7" @You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, 'A king is in Judah!' And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let us take counsel together."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:8 @Then I sent a message to him saying, "Such things as you are saying have not been done, but you are inventing them in your own mind."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:9 @For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:11 @But I said, " Should a man like me flee? And could one such as I go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:14 @Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the rest of the prophets who were trying to frighten me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:17 @Also in those days many letters went from the nobles of Judah to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:1 @Now when the wall was rebuilt and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

nasb@Nehemiah:7:3 @Then I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot, and while they are standing guard, let them shut and bolt the doors. Also appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his post, and each in front of his own house."

nasb@Nehemiah:7:4 @Now the city was large and spacious, but the people in it were few and the houses were not built.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:5 @Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogies. Then I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up first in which I found the following record-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:37 @the sons of Lod, Hadid and Ono, 721;

nasb@Nehemiah:7:61 @These were they who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon and Immer; but they could not show their fathers' houses or their descendants, whether they were of Israel-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:64 @These searched among their ancestral registration, but it could not be located; therefore they were considered unclean and excluded from the priesthood.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:65 @The governor said to them that they should not eat from the most holy things until a priest arose with Urim and Thummim.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:70 @Some from among the heads of fathers' households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 gold drachmas, 50 basins, 530 priests' garments.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:73 @Now the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants and all Israel, lived in their cities. And when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel were in their cities.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:9 @Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, " This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:10 @Then he said to them, "Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

nasb@Nehemiah:8:11 @So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved."

nasb@Nehemiah:8:12 @All the people went away to eat, to drink, to send portions and to celebrate a great festival, because they understood the words which had been made known to them.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:17 @The entire assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in them. The sons of Israel had indeed not done so from the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day. And there was great rejoicing.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:1 @Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel assembled with fasting, in sackcloth and with dirt upon them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:3 @While they stood in their place, they read from the book of the law of the LORD their God for a fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:4 @Now on the Levites' platform stood Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani and Chenani, and they cried with a loud voice to the LORD their God.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:14" @So You made known to them Your holy sabbath, And laid down for them commandments, statutes and law, Through Your servant Moses.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:16" @But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:17" @They refused to listen, And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You had performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not forsake them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:19 @You, in Your great compassion, Did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, To guide them on their way, Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:20" @ You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, Your manna You did not withhold from their mouth, And You gave them water for their thirst.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:21" @Indeed, forty years You provided for them in the wilderness and they were not in want; Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:29 @And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances, By which if a man observes them he shall live. And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:30" @ However, You bore with them for many years, And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:31" @Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You did not make an end of them or forsake them, For You are a gracious and compassionate God.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:32" @Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness, Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You, Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers and on all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:34" @For our kings, our leaders, our priests and our fathers have not kept Your law Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your admonitions with which You have admonished them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:35" @But they, in their own kingdom, With Your great goodness which You gave them, With the broad and rich land which You set before them, Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:38" @Now because of all this We are making an agreement in writing; And on the sealed document are the names of our leaders, our Levites and our priests."

nasb@Nehemiah:10:1 @Now on the sealed document were the names of- Nehemiah the governor, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah,

nasb@Nehemiah:10:28 @Now the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, all those who had knowledge and understanding,

nasb@Nehemiah:10:29 @are joining with their kinsmen, their nobles, and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God's law, which was given through Moses, God's servant, and to keep and to observe all the commandments of GOD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes;

nasb@Nehemiah:10:30 @and that we will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons.

nasb@Nehemiah:10:31 @As for the peoples of the land who bring wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we will not buy from them on the sabbath or a holy day; and we will forego the crops the seventh year and the exaction of every debt.

nasb@Nehemiah:10:39 @For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of the grain, the new wine and the oil to the chambers; there are the utensils of the sanctuary, the priests who are ministering, the gatekeepers and the singers. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:1 @Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem, but the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, while nine-tenths remained in the other cities.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:3 @Now these are the heads of the provinces who lived in Jerusalem, but in the cities of Judah each lived on his own property in their cities--the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:7 @Now these are the sons of Benjamin- Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah;

nasb@Nehemiah:11:15 @Now from the Levites- Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;

nasb@Nehemiah:11:22 @Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from the sons of Asaph, who were the singers for the service of the house of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:25 @Now as for the villages with their fields, some of the sons of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its towns, in Dibon and its towns, and in Jekabzeel and its villages,

nasb@Nehemiah:11:30 @Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its towns. So they encamped from Beersheba as far as the valley of Hinnom.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:32 @at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

nasb@Nehemiah:11:35 @Lod and Ono, the valley of craftsmen.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:1 @Now these are the priests and the Levites who came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua- Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:12 @Now in the days of Joiakim, the priests, the heads of fathers' households were- of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

nasb@Nehemiah:12:26 @These served in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor and of Ezra the priest and scribe.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:27 @Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites from all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem so that they might celebrate the dedication with gladness, with hymns of thanksgiving and with songs to the accompaniment of cymbals, harps and lyres.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:1 @On that day they read aloud from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and there was found written in it that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever enter the assembly of God,

nasb@Nehemiah:13:2 @because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:4 @Now prior to this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God, being related to Tobiah,

nasb@Nehemiah:13:6 @But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had gone to the king. After some time, however, I asked leave from the king,

nasb@Nehemiah:13:10 @I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:14 @Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out my loyal deeds which I have performed for the house of my God and its services.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:17 @Then I reprimanded the nobles of Judah and said to them, "What is this evil thing you are doing, by profaning the sabbath day?

nasb@Nehemiah:13:18" @ Did not your fathers do the same, so that our God brought on us and on this city all this trouble? Yet you are adding to the wrath on Israel by profaning the sabbath."

nasb@Nehemiah:13:19 @It came about that just as it grew dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut and that they should not open them until after the sabbath. Then I stationed some of my servants at the gates so that no load would enter on the sabbath day.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:21 @Then I warned them and said to them, "Why do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will use force against you." From that time on they did not come on the sabbath.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:24 @As for their children, half spoke in the language of Ashdod, and none of them was able to speak the language of Judah, but the language of his own people.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:25 @So I contended with them and cursed them and struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take of their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:26" @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin regarding these things? Yet among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin.

nasb@Esther:1:1 @Now it took place in the days of Ahasuerus, the Ahasuerus who reigned from India to Ethiopia over 127 provinces,

nasb@Esther:1:3 @in the third year of his reign he gave a banquet for all his princes and attendants, the army officers of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of his provinces being in his presence.

nasb@Esther:1:8 @The drinking was done according to the law, there was no compulsion, for so the king had given orders to each official of his household that he should do according to the desires of each person.

nasb@Esther:1:15" @According to law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus delivered by the eunuchs?"

nasb@Esther:1:16 @In the presence of the king and the princes, Memucan said, "Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:1:17" @For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women causing them to look with contempt on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in to his presence, but she did not come.'

nasb@Esther:1:19" @If it pleases the king, let a royal edict be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti may no longer come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal position to another who is more worthy than she.

nasb@Esther:1:20" @When the king's edict which he will make is heard throughout all his kingdom, great as it is, then all women will give honor to their husbands, great and small."

nasb@Esther:2:5 @Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

nasb@Esther:2:7 @He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.

nasb@Esther:2:9 @Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and food, gave her seven choice maids from the king's palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

nasb@Esther:2:10 @Esther did not make known her people or her kindred, for Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make them known.

nasb@Esther:2:12 @Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows- six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--

nasb@Esther:2:14 @In the evening she would go in and in the morning she would return to the second harem, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not again go in to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was summoned by name.

nasb@Esther:2:15 @Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai who had taken her as his daughter, came to go in to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

nasb@Esther:2:20 @Esther had not yet made known her kindred or her people, even as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her as she had done when under his care.

nasb@Esther:2:22 @But the plot became known to Mordecai and he told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.

nasb@Esther:2:23 @Now when the plot was investigated and found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the Book of the Chronicles in the king's presence.

nasb@Esther:3:2 @All the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage.

nasb@Esther:3:4 @Now it was when they had spoken daily to him and he would not listen to them, that they told Haman to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

nasb@Esther:3:5 @When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage.

nasb@Esther:3:8 @Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of all other people and they do not observe the king's laws, so it is not in the king's interest to let them remain.

nasb@Esther:3:12 @Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written just as Haman commanded to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province and to the princes of each people, each province according to its script, each people according to its language, being written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nasb@Esther:4:2 @He went as far as the king's gate, for no one was to enter the king's gate clothed in sackcloth.

nasb@Esther:4:4 @Then Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai that he might remove his sackcloth from him, but he did not accept them.

nasb@Esther:4:11" @All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days."

nasb@Esther:4:13 @Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews.

nasb@Esther:4:14" @For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?"

nasb@Esther:4:16" @Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish."

nasb@Esther:5:1 @Now it came about on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace in front of the king's rooms, and the king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room, opposite the entrance to the palace.

nasb@Esther:5:9 @Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.

nasb@Esther:5:12 @Haman also said, "Even Esther the queen let no one but me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king.

nasb@Esther:5:13" @Yet all of this does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

nasb@Esther:6:1 @During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

nasb@Esther:6:3 @The king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

nasb@Esther:6:4 @So the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace in order to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.

nasb@Esther:6:6 @So Haman came in and the king said to him, "What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?"

nasb@Esther:6:7 @Then Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king desires to honor,

nasb@Esther:6:9 @and let the robe and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes and let them array the man whom the king desires to honor and lead him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor.'"

nasb@Esther:6:10 @Then the king said to Haman, "Take quickly the robes and the horse as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king's gate; do not fall short in anything of all that you have said."

nasb@Esther:6:11 @So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor."

nasb@Esther:6:13 @Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish origin, you will not overcome him, but will surely fall before him."

nasb@Esther:7:1 @Now the king and Haman came to drink wine with Esther the queen.

nasb@Esther:7:4 @for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for the trouble would not be commensurate with the annoyance to the king."

nasb@Esther:7:8 @Now when the king returned from the palace garden into the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen with me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

nasb@Esther:8:8" @Now you write to the Jews as you see fit, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for a decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring may not be revoked."

nasb@Esther:8:9 @So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month 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 which extended from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.

nasb@Esther:8:16 @For the Jews there was light and gladness and joy and honor.

nasb@Esther:9:1 @Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth day when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.

nasb@Esther:9:2 @The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.

nasb@Esther:9:3 @Even all the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and those who were doing the king's business assisted the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them.

nasb@Esther:9:10 @the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:12 @The king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall even be granted you. And what is your further request? It shall also be done."

nasb@Esther:9:15 @The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed three hundred men in Susa, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:16 @Now the rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces assembled, to defend their lives and rid themselves of their enemies, and kill 75,000 of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:19 @Therefore the Jews of the rural areas, who live in the rural towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a holiday for rejoicing and feasting and sending portions of food to one another.

nasb@Esther:9:22 @because on those days the Jews rid themselves of their enemies, and it was a month which was turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

nasb@Esther:9:27 @the Jews established and made a custom for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them, so that they would not fail to celebrate these two days according to their regulation and according to their appointed time annually.

nasb@Esther:9:28 @So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city; and these days of Purim were not to fail from among the Jews, or their memory fade from their descendants.

nasb@Esther:10:1 @Now King Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land and on the coastlands of the sea.

nasb@Esther:10:2 @And all the accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full 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?

nasb@Job:1:6 @Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.

nasb@Job:1:8 @The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil."

nasb@Job:1:9 @Then Satan answered the LORD, "Does Job fear God for nothing?

nasb@Job:1:10" @ Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

nasb@Job:1:11" @ But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face."

nasb@Job:1:12 @Then the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD.

nasb@Job:1:13 @Now on the day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

nasb@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."

nasb@Job:1:17 @While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them and slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."

nasb@Job:1:18 @While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

nasb@Job:1:22 @Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God.

nasb@Job:2:3 @The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause."

nasb@Job:2:5" @ However, put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face."

nasb@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 not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

nasb@Job:2:11 @Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and comfort him.

nasb@Job:2:12 @When they lifted up their eyes at a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them tore his robe and they threw dust over their heads toward the sky.

nasb@Job:2:13 @Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

nasb@Job:3:4" @May that day be darkness; Let not God above care for it, Nor light shine on it.

nasb@Job:3:6" @As for that night, let darkness seize it; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Behold, let that night be barren; Let no joyful shout enter it.

nasb@Job:3:9" @Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it wait for light but have none, And let it not see the breaking dawn;

nasb@Job:3:10 @Because it did not shut the opening of my mother's womb, Or hide trouble from my eyes.

nasb@Job:3:11" @ Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire?

nasb@Job:3:13" @For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,

nasb@Job:3:16" @Or like a miscarriage which is discarded, I would not be, As infants that never saw light.

nasb@Job:3:18" @The prisoners are at ease together; They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.

nasb@Job:3:21 @Who long for death, but there is none, And dig for it more than for hidden treasures,

nasb@Job:3:26" @I am not at ease, nor am I quiet, And I am not at rest, but turmoil comes."

nasb@Job:3:5" @But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; It touches you, and you are dismayed.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Is not your fear of God your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope?

nasb@Job:3:7" @Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright destroyed?

nasb@Job:3:12" @Now a word was brought to me stealthily, And my ear received a whisper of it.

nasb@Job:3:16" @It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; A form was before my eyes; There was silence, then I heard a voice-

nasb@Job:3:18 @' He puts no trust even in His servants; And against His angels He charges error.

nasb@Job:3:20 @' Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces; Unobserved, they perish forever.

nasb@Job:3:21 @'Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, yet without wisdom.'

nasb@Job:3:4" @His sons are far from safety, They are even oppressed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

nasb@Job:3:6" @For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

nasb@Job:3:12" @He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.

nasb@Job:3:14" @By day they meet with darkness, And grope at noon as in the night.

nasb@Job:3:17" @Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:19" @From six troubles He will deliver you, Even in seven evil will not touch you.

nasb@Job:3:21" @You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.

nasb@Job:3:22" @You will laugh at violence and famine, And you will not be afraid of wild beasts.

nasb@Job:3:24" @You will know that your tent is secure, For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.

nasb@Job:3:27" @Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is. Hear it, and know for yourself."

nasb@Job:3:10" @But it is still my consolation, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

nasb@Job:3:13" @Is it that my help is not within me, And that deliverance is driven from me?

nasb@Job:3:14" @For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend; So that he does not forsake the fear of the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face-

nasb@Job:3:21 @Remove Your hand from me, And let not the dread of You terrify me.

nasb@Job:3:23" @ How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my rebellion and my sin.

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

nasb@Job:3:4" @ Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!

nasb@Job:3:5" @Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.

nasb@Job:3:7" @For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail.

nasb@Job:3:12 @So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.

nasb@Job:3:16" @For now You number my steps, You do not observe my sin.

nasb@Job:3:21" @His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.

nasb@Job:3:2" @Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge And fill himself with the east wind?

nasb@Job:3:3" @Should he argue with useless talk, Or with words which are not profitable?

nasb@Job:3:6" @Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; And your own lips testify against you.

nasb@Job:3:9" @ What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that we do not?

nasb@Job:3:15" @Behold, He puts no trust in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight;

nasb@Job:3:18 @What wise men have told, And have not concealed from their fathers,

nasb@Job:3:19 @To whom alone the land was given, And no alien passed among them.

nasb@Job:3:22" @He does not believe that he will return from darkness, And he is destined for the sword.

nasb@Job:3:23" @He wanders about for food, saying, 'Where is it?' He knows that a day of darkness is at hand.

nasb@Job:3:28" @He has lived in desolate cities, In houses no one would inhabit, Which are destined to become ruins.

nasb@Job:3:29" @He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure; And his grain will not bend down to the ground.

nasb@Job:3:30" @He will not escape from darkness; The flame will wither his shoots, And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For emptiness will be his reward.

nasb@Job:3:32" @It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is there no limit to windy words? Or what plagues you that you answer?

nasb@Job:3:6" @If I speak, my pain is not lessened, And if I hold back, what has left me?

nasb@Job:3:7" @But now He has exhausted me; You have laid waste all my company.

nasb@Job:3:17 @Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.

nasb@Job:3:18" @O earth, do not cover my blood, And let there be no resting place for my cry.

nasb@Job:3:19" @Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And my advocate is on high.

nasb@Job:3:22" @For when a few years are past, I shall go the way of no return.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself; Who is there that will be my guarantor?

nasb@Job:3:4" @For You have kept their heart from understanding, Therefore You will not exalt them.

nasb@Job:3:8" @The upright will be appalled at this, And the innocent will stir up himself against the godless.

nasb@Job:3:10" @But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you.

nasb@Job:3:15 @Where now is my hope? And who regards my hope?

nasb@Job:3:5" @Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the flame of his fire gives no light.

nasb@Job:3:10" @A noose for him is hidden in the ground, And a trap for him on the path.

nasb@Job:3:15" @There dwells in his tent nothing of his; Brimstone is scattered on his habitation.

nasb@Job:3:17" @ Memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He has no offspring or posterity among his people, Nor any survivor where he sojourned.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God."

nasb@Job:3:3" @These ten times you have insulted me; You are not ashamed to wrong me.

nasb@Job:3:6 @Know then that God has wronged me And has closed His net around me.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Behold, I cry, 'Violence!' but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice.

nasb@Job:3:8" @He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, And He has put darkness on my paths.

nasb@Job:3:9" @He has stripped my honor from me And removed the crown from my head.

nasb@Job:3:16" @I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I have to implore him with my mouth.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Why do you persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

nasb@Job:3:25" @As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

nasb@Job:3:27 @Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!

nasb@Job:3:29" @Then be afraid of the sword for yourselves, For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, So that you may know there is judgment."

nasb@Job:3:4" @Do you know this from of old, From the establishment of man on earth,

nasb@Job:3:8" @He flies away like a dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is chased away.

nasb@Job:3:9" @The eye which saw him sees him no longer, And his place no longer beholds him.

nasb@Job:3:13 @Though he desires it and will not let it go, But holds it in his mouth,

nasb@Job:3:14 @Yet his food in his stomach is changed To the venom of cobras within him.

nasb@Job:3:17" @He does not look at the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and curds.

nasb@Job:3:18" @He returns what he has attained And cannot swallow it; As to the riches of his trading, He cannot even enjoy them.

nasb@Job:3:19" @For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; He has seized a house which he has not built.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Because he knew no quiet within him, He does not retain anything he desires.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Nothing remains for him to devour, Therefore his prosperity does not endure.

nasb@Job:3:4" @As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?

nasb@Job:3:9 @Their houses are safe from fear, And the rod of God is not on them.

nasb@Job:3:10" @His ox mates without fail; His cow calves and does not abort.

nasb@Job:3:14" @They say to God, ' Depart from us! We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.

nasb@Job:3:16" @Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

nasb@Job:3:19" @You say, ' God stores away a man's iniquity for his sons.' Let God repay him so that he may know it.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Can anyone teach God knowledge, In that He judges those on high?

nasb@Job:3:25 @While another dies with a bitter soul, Never even tasting anything good.

nasb@Job:3:27" @Behold, I know your thoughts, And the plans by which you would wrong me.

nasb@Job:3:28" @For you say, 'Where is the house of the nobleman, And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?'

nasb@Job:3:29" @Have you not asked wayfaring men, And do you not recognize their witness?

nasb@Job:3:5" @Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquities without end?

nasb@Job:3:7" @To the weary you have given no water to drink, And from the hungry you have withheld bread.

nasb@Job:3:8" @But the earth belongs to the mighty man, And the honorable man dwells in it.

nasb@Job:3:11 @Or darkness, so that you cannot see, And an abundance of water covers you.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Is not God in the height of heaven? Look also at the distant stars, how high they are!

nasb@Job:3:13" @You say, ' What does God know? Can He judge through the thick darkness?

nasb@Job:3:14 @' Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see; And He walks on the vault of heaven.'

nasb@Job:3:19" @The righteous see and are glad, And the innocent mock them,

nasb@Job:3:21" @ Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you.

nasb@Job:3:30" @He will deliver one who is not innocent, And he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."

nasb@Job:3:6" @Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

nasb@Job:3:9 @When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.

nasb@Job:3:10" @But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

nasb@Job:3:11" @My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.

nasb@Job:3:12" @I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

nasb@Job:3:17 @But I am not silenced by the darkness, Nor deep gloom which covers me.

nasb@Job:3:24" @ Why are times not stored up by the Almighty, And why do those who know Him not see His days?

nasb@Job:3:7" @ They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering against the cold.

nasb@Job:3:12" @From the city men groan, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not pay attention to folly.

nasb@Job:3:13" @Others have been with those who rebel against the light; They do not want to know its ways Nor abide in its paths.

nasb@Job:3:15" @The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, 'No eye will see me.' And he disguises his face.

nasb@Job:3:16" @In the dark they dig into houses, They shut themselves up by day; They do not know the light.

nasb@Job:3:18" @They are insignificant on the surface of the water; Their portion is cursed on the earth. They do not turn toward the vineyards.

nasb@Job:3:19" @Drought and heat consume the snow waters, So does Sheol those who have sinned.

nasb@Job:3:20" @A mother will forget him; The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered. And wickedness will be broken like a tree.

nasb@Job:3:21" @He wrongs the barren woman And does no good for the widow.

nasb@Job:3:22" @But He drags off the valiant by His power; He rises, but no one has assurance of life.

nasb@Job:3:25" @Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar, And make my speech worthlessNULL"

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is there any number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not rise?

nasb@Job:3:5" @If even the moon has no brightness And the stars are not pure in His sight,

nasb@Job:3:6" @Naked is Sheol before Him, And Abaddon has no covering.

nasb@Job:3:7" @He stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.

nasb@Job:3:8" @He wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.

nasb@Job:3:3 @For as long as life is in me, And the breath of God is in my nostrils,

nasb@Job:3:4 @My lips certainly will not speak unjustly, Nor will my tongue mutter deceit.

nasb@Job:3:5" @Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

nasb@Job:3:6" @I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go. My heart does not reproach any of my days.

nasb@Job:3:11" @I will instruct you in the power of God; What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

nasb@Job:3:14" @Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread.

nasb@Job:3:15" @His survivors will be buried because of the plague, And their widows will not be able to weep.

nasb@Job:3:17 @He may prepare it, but the just will wear it And the innocent will divide the silver.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He lies down rich, but never again; He opens his eyes, and it is no longer.

nasb@Job:3:7" @The path no bird of prey knows, Nor has the falcon's eye caught sight of it.

nasb@Job:3:8" @The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

nasb@Job:3:13" @ Man does not know its value, Nor is it found in the land of the living.

nasb@Job:3:14" @The deep says, 'It is not in me'; And the sea says, 'It is not with me.'

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it, Nor can silver be weighed as its price.

nasb@Job:3:16" @It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx, or sapphire.

nasb@Job:3:17" @ Gold or glass cannot equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned; And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls.

nasb@Job:3:19" @The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

nasb@Job:3:23" @ God understands its way, And He knows its place.

nasb@Job:3:10 @The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to their palate.

nasb@Job:3:12 @Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.

nasb@Job:3:16" @I was a father to the needy, And I investigated the case which I did not know.

nasb@Job:3:22" @After my words they did not speak again, And my speech dropped on them.

nasb@Job:3:24" @I smiled on them when they did not believe, And the light of my face they did not cast down.

nasb@Job:3:30" @But now those younger than I mock me, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.

nasb@Job:3:9" @And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them.

nasb@Job:3:10" @They abhor me and stand aloof from me, And they do not refrain from spitting at my face.

nasb@Job:3:13" @They break up my path, They profit from my destruction; No one restrains them.

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Terrors are turned against me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

nasb@Job:3:16" @And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have seized me.

nasb@Job:3:17" @At night it pierces my bones within me, And my gnawing pains take no rest.

nasb@Job:3:20" @I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You turn Your attention against me.

nasb@Job:3:23" @For I know that You will bring me to death And to the house of meeting for all living.

nasb@Job:3:24" @Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand, Or in his disaster therefore cry out for help?

nasb@Job:3:25" @Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

nasb@Job:3:27" @I am seething within and cannot relax; Days of affliction confront me.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is it not calamity to the unjust And disaster to those who work iniquity?

nasb@Job:3:4" @Does He not see my ways And number all my steps?

nasb@Job:3:6 @Let Him weigh me with accurate scales, And let God know my integrity.

nasb@Job:3:8 @Let me sow and another eat, And let my crops be uprooted.

nasb@Job:3:10 @May my wife grind for another, And let others kneel down over her.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Did not He who made me in the womb make him, And the same one fashion us in the womb?

nasb@Job:3:17 @Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the orphan has not shared it

nasb@Job:3:19 @If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering,

nasb@Job:3:20 @If his loins have not thanked me, And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,

nasb@Job:3:23" @For calamity from God is a terror to me, And because of His majesty I can do nothing.

nasb@Job:3:30" @No, I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking for his life in a curse.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Have the men of my tent not said, 'Who can find one who has not been satisfied with his meat'?

nasb@Job:3:32" @The alien has not lodged outside, For I have opened my doors to the traveler.

nasb@Job:3:34 @Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, And kept silent and did not go out of doors?

nasb@Job:4:3 @And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

nasb@Job:4:4 @Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.

nasb@Job:4:5 @And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.

nasb@Job:4:9" @The abundant in years may not be wise, Nor may elders understand justice.

nasb@Job:4:12" @I even paid close attention to you; Indeed, there was no one who refuted Job, Not one of you who answered his words.

nasb@Job:4:13" @Do not say, ' We have found wisdom; God will rout him, not man.'

nasb@Job:4:14" @For he has not arranged his words against me, Nor will I reply to him with your arguments.

nasb@Job:4:15" @They are dismayed, they no longer answer; Words have failed them.

nasb@Job:4:16" @Shall I wait, because they do not speak, Because they stop and no longer answer?

nasb@Job:4:21" @Let me now be partial to no one, Nor flatter any man.

nasb@Job:4:22" @For I do not know how to flatter, Else my Maker would soon take me away.

nasb@Job:4:33" @However now, Job, please hear my speech, And listen to all my words.

nasb@Job:4:2" @Behold now, I open my mouth, My tongue in my mouth speaks.

nasb@Job:4:3" @My words are from the uprightness of my heart, And my lips speak knowledge sincerely.

nasb@Job:4:7" @Behold, no fear of me should terrify you, Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.

nasb@Job:4:9 @'I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent and there is no guilt in me.

nasb@Job:4:12" @Behold, let me tell you, you are not right in this, For God is greater than man.

nasb@Job:4:13" @Why do you complain against Him That He does not give an account of all His doings?

nasb@Job:4:14" @Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it.

nasb@Job:4:21" @His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones which were not seen stick out.

nasb@Job:4:27" @He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned and perverted what is right, And it is not proper for me.

nasb@Job:4:33" @If not, listen to me; Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom."

nasb@Job:4:2" @Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who know.

nasb@Job:4:4" @Let us choose for ourselves what is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good.

nasb@Job:4:9" @For he has said, ' It profits a man nothing When he is pleased with God.'

nasb@Job:4:12" @Surely, God will not act wickedly, And the Almighty will not pervert justice.

nasb@Job:4:18 @Who says to a king, 'Worthless one,' To nobles, 'Wicked ones';

nasb@Job:4:19 @Who shows no partiality to princes Nor regards the rich above the poor, For they all are the work of His hands?

nasb@Job:4:22" @There is no darkness or deep shadow Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

nasb@Job:4:23" @For He does not need to consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment.

nasb@Job:4:25" @Therefore He knows their works, And He overthrows them in the night, And they are crushed.

nasb@Job:4:27 @Because they turned aside from following Him, And had no regard for any of His ways;

nasb@Job:4:30 @So that godless men would not rule Nor be snares of the people.

nasb@Job:4:31" @For has anyone said to God, 'I have borne chastisement; I will not offend anymore;

nasb@Job:4:32 @Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will not do it again'?

nasb@Job:4:33" @Shall He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know.

nasb@Job:4:35 @'Job speaks without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.

nasb@Job:4:10" @But no one says, 'Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,

nasb@Job:4:12" @There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men.

nasb@Job:4:13" @Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it.

nasb@Job:4:14" @How much less when you say you do not behold Him, The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!

nasb@Job:4:15" @And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,

nasb@Job:4:16 @So Job opens his mouth emptily; He multiplies words without knowledge."

nasb@Job:4:3" @I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

nasb@Job:4:4" @For truly my words are not false; One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

nasb@Job:4:5" @Behold, God is mighty but does not despise any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

nasb@Job:4:6" @He does not keep the wicked alive, But gives justice to the afflicted.

nasb@Job:4:7" @He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; But with kings on the throne He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.

nasb@Job:4:12" @But if they do not hear, they shall perish by the sword And they will die without knowledge.

nasb@Job:4:13" @But the godless in heart lay up anger; They do not cry for help when He binds them.

nasb@Job:4:16" @Then indeed, He enticed you from the mouth of distress, Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint; And that which was set on your table was full of fatness.

nasb@Job:4:18" @Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing; And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

nasb@Job:4:20" @Do not long for the night, When people vanish in their place.

nasb@Job:4:21" @Be careful, do not turn to evil, For you have preferred this to affliction.

nasb@Job:4:26" @Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him; The number of His years is unsearchable.

nasb@Job:4:33" @Its noise declares His presence; The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.

nasb@Job:4:4" @After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain the lightnings when His voice is heard.

nasb@Job:4:5" @God thunders with His voice wondrously, Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.

nasb@Job:4:6" @For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'

nasb@Job:4:7" @He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work.

nasb@Job:4:9" @Out of the south comes the storm, And out of the north the cold.

nasb@Job:4:15" @Do you know how God establishes them, And makes the lightning of His cloud to shine?

nasb@Job:4:16" @Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds, The wonders of one perfect in knowledge,

nasb@Job:4:19" @Teach us what we shall say to Him; We cannot arrange our case because of darkness.

nasb@Job:4:21" @Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them.

nasb@Job:4:22" @Out of the north comes golden splendor; Around God is awesome majesty.

nasb@Job:4:23" @The Almighty-- we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power And He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.

nasb@Job:4:24" @Therefore men fear Him; He does not regard any who are wise of heart."

nasb@Job:4:2" @Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?

nasb@Job:4:3" @Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!

nasb@Job:4:5 @Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it?

nasb@Job:4:11 @And I said, 'Thus far you shall come, but no farther; And here shall your proud waves stop'?

nasb@Job:4:12" @Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, And caused the dawn to know its place,

nasb@Job:4:18" @Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.

nasb@Job:4:21" @You know, for you were born then, And the number of your days is great!

nasb@Job:4:22" @Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,

nasb@Job:4:33" @Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or fix their rule over the earth?

nasb@Job:4:41" @Who prepares for the raven its nourishment When its young cry to God And wander about without foodNULL

nasb@Job:4:39" @Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer?

nasb@Job:4:2" @Can you count the months they fulfill, Or do you know the time they give birth?

nasb@Job:4:4" @Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them.

nasb@Job:4:7" @He scorns the tumult of the city, The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.

nasb@Job:4:16" @She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain, she is unconcerned;

nasb@Job:4:17 @Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding.

nasb@Job:4:20" @Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.

nasb@Job:4:22" @He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword.

nasb@Job:4:24" @With shaking and rage he races over the ground, And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.

nasb@Job:4:5" @Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add nothing more."

nasb@Job:4:7" @Now gird up your loins like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me.

nasb@Job:4:10" @ Adorn yourself with eminence and dignity, And clothe yourself with honor and majesty.

nasb@Job:4:15" @Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; He eats grass like an ox.

nasb@Job:4:16" @Behold now, his strength in his loins And his power in the muscles of his belly.

nasb@Job:4:23" @If a river rages, he is not alarmed; He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.

nasb@Job:4:24" @Can anyone capture him when he is on watch, With barbs can anyone pierce his noseNULL

nasb@Job:4:2" @Can you put a rope in his nose Or pierce his jaw with a hook?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

nasb@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, "Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near And come to pass, that we may know it!"

nasb@Isaiah:5:25 @On this account the anger of the LORD has burned against His people, And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down.

nasb@Isaiah:7:3 @Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller's field,

nasb@Isaiah:7:4 @and say to him, 'Take care and be calm, have no fear and do not be fainthearted because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, on account of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah.

nasb@Isaiah:7:7 @thus says the Lord GOD- " It shall not stand nor shall it come to pass.

nasb@Isaiah:7:16" @ For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.

nasb@Isaiah:7:25 @As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

nasb@Isaiah:7:4 @for before the boy knows how to cry out 'My father' or 'My mother,' the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria."

nasb@Isaiah:7:7" @Now therefore, behold, the Lord is about to bring on them the strong and abundant waters of the Euphrates, Even the king of Assyria and all his glory; And it will rise up over all its channels and go over all its banks.

nasb@Isaiah:7:10" @ Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted; State a proposal, but it will not stand, For God is with us."

nasb@Isaiah:7:11 @For thus the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

nasb@Isaiah:7:12" @You are not to say, 'It is a conspiracy!' In regard to all that this people call a conspiracy, And you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.

nasb@Isaiah:8:7 @There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

nasb@Isaiah:8:13 @Yet the people do not turn back to Him who struck them, Nor do they seek the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:8:15 @The head is the elder and honorable man, And the prophet who teaches falsehood is the tail.

nasb@Isaiah:8:17 @Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men, Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness.

nasb@Isaiah:35:12 @The man shapes iron into a cutting tool and does his work over the coals, fashioning it with hammers and working it with his strong arm. He also gets hungry and his strength fails; he drinks no water and becomes weary.

nasb@Isaiah:35:13 @Another shapes wood, he extends a measuring line; he outlines it with red chalk. He works it with planes and outlines it with a compass, and makes it like the form of a man, like the beauty of man, so that it may sit in a house.

nasb@Isaiah:37:4 @The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples, That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

nasb@Isaiah:37:5 @The Lord GOD has opened My ear; And I was not disobedient Nor did I turn back.

nasb@Isaiah:38:15 @Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, And what they had not heard they will understand.

nasb@Isaiah:39:2 @For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.

nasb@Isaiah:39:3 @He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

nasb@Isaiah:39:7 @He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.

nasb@Isaiah:39:9 @His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

nasb@Isaiah:39:4" @Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.

nasb@Isaiah:39:9" @For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah Would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you Nor will I rebuke you.

nasb@Isaiah:40:12" @I will declare your righteousness and your deeds, But they will not profit you.

nasb@Isaiah:40:16" @For I will not contend forever, Nor will I always be angry; For the spirit would grow faint before Me, And the breath of those whom I have made.

nasb@Isaiah:40:6" @Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke?

nasb@Isaiah:40:7" @Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

nasb@Isaiah:40:11" @And the LORD will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:23 @'They will also bring out all your wives and your sons to the Chaldeans, and you yourself will not escape from their hand, but will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city will be burned with fire.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:24 @Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "Let no man know about these words and you will not die.

nasb@Jeremiah:18:25" @But if the officials hear that I have talked with you and come to you and say to you, 'Tell us now what you said to the king and what the king said to you; do not hide it from us and we will not put you to death,'

nasb@Jeremiah:18:26 @then you are to say to them, 'I was presenting my petition before the king, not to make me return to the house of Jonathan to die there.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:27 @Then all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him. So he reported to them in accordance with all these words which the king had commanded; and they ceased speaking with him, since the conversation had not been overheard.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:1 @Now when Jerusalem was captured in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came to Jerusalem and laid siege to it;

nasb@Jeremiah:19:6 @Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes at Riblah; the king of Babylon also slew all the nobles of Judah.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:10 @But some of the poorest people who had nothing, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard left behind in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at that time.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:11 @Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:19:12" @Take him and look after him, and do nothing harmful to him, but rather deal with him just as he tells you."

nasb@Jeremiah:19:15 @Now the word of the LORD had come to Jeremiah while he was confined in the court of the guardhouse, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:19:16" @Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Behold, I am about to bring My words on this city for disaster and not for prosperity; and they will take place before you on that day.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:17" @But I will deliver you on that day," declares the LORD, "and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you dread.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:18" @For I will certainly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own life as booty, because you have trusted in Me," declares the LORD.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:20:2 @Now the captain of the bodyguard had taken Jeremiah and said to him, "The LORD your God promised this calamity against this place;

nasb@Jeremiah:20:3 @and the LORD has brought it on and done just as He promised. Because you people sinned against the LORD and did not listen to His voice, therefore this thing has happened to you.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:4" @But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains which are on your hands. If you would prefer to come with me to Babylon, come along, and I will look after you; but if you would prefer not to come with me to Babylon, never mind. Look, the whole land is before you; go wherever it seems good and right for you to go."

nasb@Jeremiah:20:5 @As Jeremiah was still not going back, he said, "Go on back then to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people; or else go anywhere it seems right for you to go." So the captain of the bodyguard gave him a ration and a gift and let him go.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:7 @Now all the commanders of the forces that were in the field, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam over the land and that he had put him in charge of the men, women and children, those of the poorest of the land who had not been exiled to Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:9 @Then Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, " Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans; stay in the land and serve the king of Babylon, that it may go well with you.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:10" @Now as for me, behold, I am going to stay at Mizpah to stand for you before the Chaldeans who come to us; but as for you, gather in wine and summer fruit and oil and put them in your storage vessels, and live in your cities that you have taken over."

nasb@Jeremiah:20:13 @Now Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah

nasb@Jeremiah:20:14 @and said to him, "Are you well aware that Baalis the king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?" But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:15 @Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah in Mizpah, saying, " Let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and not a man will know! Why should he take your life, so that all the Jews who are gathered to you would be scattered and the remnant of Judah would perish?"

nasb@Jeremiah:20:16 @But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, " Do not do this thing, for you are telling a lie about Ishmael."

nasb@Jeremiah:21:4 @Now it happened on the next day after the killing of Gedaliah, when no one knew about it,

nasb@Jeremiah:21:8 @But ten men who were found among them said to Ishmael, "Do not put us to death; for we have stores of wheat, barley, oil and honey hidden in the field." So he refrained and did not put them to death along with their companions.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:9 @Now as for the cistern where Ishmael had cast all the corpses of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, it was the one that King Asa had made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:13 @Now as soon as all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah and the commanders of the forces that were with him, they were glad.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:2 @and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our petition come before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, that is for all this remnant; because we are left but a few out of many, as your own eyes now see us,

nasb@Jeremiah:22:4 @Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard you. Behold, I am going to pray to the LORD your God in accordance with your words; and I will tell you the whole message which the LORD will answer you. I will not keep back a word from you."

nasb@Jeremiah:22:5 @Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with the whole message with which the LORD your God will send you to us.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:7 @Now at the end of ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:10 @'If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down, and I will plant you and not uproot you; for I will relent concerning the calamity that I have inflicted on you.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:11 @' Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are now fearing; do not be afraid of him,' declares the LORD, 'for I am with you to save you and deliver you from his hand.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:13 @'But if you are going to say, "We will not stay in this land," so as not to listen to the voice of the LORD your God,

nasb@Jeremiah:22:14 @saying, "No, but we will go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the sound of a trumpet or hunger for bread, and we will stay there";

nasb@Jeremiah:22:17" @So all the men who set their mind to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the sword, by famine and by pestilence; and they will have no survivors or refugees from the calamity that I am going to bring on them."'"

nasb@Jeremiah:22:18 @For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "As My anger and wrath have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you will become a curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach; and you will see this place no more."

nasb@Jeremiah:22:19 @The LORD has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, "Do not go into Egypt!" You should clearly understand that today I have testified against you.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:21 @So I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the LORD your God, even in whatever He has sent me to tell you.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:22 @Therefore you should now clearly understand that you will die by the sword, by famine and by pestilence, in the place where you wish to go to reside.

nasb@Lamentations:1:3 @Judah has gone into exile under affliction And under harsh servitude; She dwells among the nations, But she has found no rest; All her pursuers have overtaken her In the midst of distress.

nasb@Lamentations:1:4 @The roads of Zion are in mourning Because no one comes to the appointed feasts. All her gates are desolate; Her priests are groaning, Her virgins are afflicted, And she herself is bitter.

nasb@Lamentations:1:6 @All her majesty Has departed from the daughter of Zion; Her princes have become like deer That have found no pasture; And they have fled without strength Before the pursuer.

nasb@Lamentations:1:7 @In the days of her affliction and homelessness Jerusalem remembers all her precious things That were from the days of old, When her people fell into the hand of the adversary And no one helped her. The adversaries saw her, They mocked at her ruin.

nasb@Lamentations:1:8 @Jerusalem sinned greatly, Therefore she has become an unclean thing. All who honored her despise her Because they have seen her nakedness; Even she herself groans and turns away.

nasb@Lamentations:1:9 @Her uncleanness was in her skirts; She did not consider her future. Therefore she has fallen astonishingly; She has no comforter. " See, O LORD, my affliction, For the enemy has magnified himself!"

nasb@Lamentations:1:10 @The adversary has stretched out his hand Over all her precious things, For she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, The ones whom You commanded That they should not enter into Your congregation.

nasb@Lamentations:1:12" @Is it nothing to all you who pass this way? Look and see if there is any pain like my pain Which was severely dealt out to me, Which the LORD inflicted on the day of His fierce anger.

nasb@Lamentations:1:14" @The yoke of my transgressions is bound; By His hand they are knit together. They have come upon my neck; He has made my strength fail. The Lord has given me into the hands Of those against whom I am not able to stand.

nasb@Lamentations:1:17 @Zion stretches out her hands; There is no one to comfort her; The LORD has commanded concerning Jacob That the ones round about him should be his adversaries; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.

nasb@Lamentations:1:18" @The LORD is righteous; For I have rebelled against His command; Hear now, all peoples, And behold my pain; My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.

nasb@Lamentations:1:21" @They have heard that I groan; There is no one to comfort me; All my enemies have heard of my calamity; They are glad that You have done it. Oh, that You would bring the day which You have proclaimed, That they may become like me.

nasb@Lamentations:2:1 @How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion With a cloud in His anger! He has cast from heaven to earth The glory of Israel, And has not remembered His footstool In the day of His anger.

nasb@Lamentations:2:2 @The Lord has swallowed up; He has not spared All the habitations of Jacob. In His wrath He has thrown down The strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground; He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.

nasb@Lamentations:2:7 @The Lord has rejected His altar, He has abandoned His sanctuary; He has delivered into the hand of the enemy The walls of her palaces. They have made a noise in the house of the LORD As in the day of an appointed feast.

nasb@Lamentations:2:8 @The LORD determined to destroy The wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out a line, He has not restrained His hand from destroying, And He has caused rampart and wall to lament; They have languished together.

nasb@Lamentations:2:9 @Her gates have sunk into the ground, He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations; The law is no more. Also, her prophets find No vision from the LORD.

nasb@Lamentations:2:14 @Your prophets have seen for you False and foolish visions; And they have not exposed your iniquity So as to restore you from captivity, But they have seen for you false and misleading oracles.

nasb@Lamentations:2:18 @Their heart cried out to the Lord, "O wall of the daughter of Zion, Let your tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no relief, Let your eyes have no rest.

nasb@Lamentations:2:22 @You called as in the day of an appointed feast My terrors on every side; And there was no one who escaped or survived In the day of the LORD'S anger. Those whom I bore and reared, My enemy annihilated them.

nasb@Lamentations:3:7 @He has walled me in so that I cannot go out; He has made my chain heavy.

nasb@Lamentations:4:4 @The tongue of the infant cleaves To the roof of its mouth because of thirst; The little ones ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.

nasb@Lamentations:4:6 @For the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown as in a moment, And no hands were turned toward her.

nasb@Lamentations:4:7 @Her consecrated ones were purer than snow, They were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than corals, Their polishing was like lapis lazuli.

nasb@Lamentations:4:15" @Depart! Unclean!" they cried of themselves. "Depart, depart, do not touch!" So they fled and wandered; Men among the nations said, "They shall not continue to dwell with us."

nasb@Lamentations:4:16 @The presence of the LORD has scattered them, He will not continue to regard them; They did not honor the priests, They did not favor the elders.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:1 @Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:4 @As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:9 @their wings touched one another; their faces did not turn when they moved, each went straight forward.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:11 @Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above; each had two touching another being, and two covering their bodies.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:15 @Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:16 @The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:22 @Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:26 @Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:27 @Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:5" @As for them, whether they listen or not--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:6" @And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:7" @But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:8" @Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:5" @For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @nor to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you;

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @Go to the exiles, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and tell them, whether they listen or not, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @And I heard the sound of the wings of the living beings touching one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, even a great rumbling sound.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:18" @When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:19" @Yet if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:20" @Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:21" @However, if you have warned the righteous man that the righteous should not sin and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; and you have delivered yourself."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:25" @As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and bind you with them so that you cannot go out among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:26" @Moreover, I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and cannot be a man who rebukes them, for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @Now you son of man, get yourself a brick, place it before you and inscribe a city on it, Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8" @Now behold, I will put ropes on you so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @But I said, " Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered my mouth."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @because bread and water will be scarce; and they will be appalled with one another and waste away in their iniquity.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @'But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations and against My statutes more than the lands which surround her; for they have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7" @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have more turmoil than the nations which surround you and have not walked in My statutes, nor observed My ordinances, nor observed the ordinances of the nations which surround you,'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9 @'And because of all your abominations, I will do among you what I have not done, and the like of which I will never do again.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11 @'So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @'Thus My anger will be spent and I will satisfy My wrath on them, and I will be appeased; then they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7" @The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10" @Then they will know that I am the LORD; I have not said in vain that I would inflict this disaster on them."'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13" @Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree and under every leafy oak--the places where they offered soothing aroma to all their idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14" @So throughout all their habitations I will stretch out My hand against them and make the land more desolate and waste than the wilderness toward Diblah; thus they will know that I am the LORD."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @'Now the end is upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4 @'For My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the LORD!'

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8 @'Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9 @'My eye will show no pity nor will I spare. I will repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, do the smiting.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11 @'Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their people, none of their wealth, nor anything eminent among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @'The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for wrath is against all their multitude.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:13 @'Indeed, the seller will not regain what he sold as long as they both live; for the vision regarding all their multitude will not be averted, nor will any of them maintain his life by his iniquity.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @'They have blown the trumpet and made everything ready, but no one is going to the battle, for My wrath is against all their multitude.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:19 @'They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:25 @'When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:27 @'The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with horror, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. According to their conduct I will deal with them, and by their judgments I will judge them. And they will know that I am the LORD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:4:3 @He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:5 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, raise your eyes now toward the north." So I raised my eyes toward the north, and behold, to the north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:8 @He said to me, "Son of man, now dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:12 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, ' The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:17 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have filled the land with violence and provoked Me repeatedly? For behold, they are putting the twig to their nose.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:18" @Therefore, I indeed will deal in wrath. My eye will have no pity nor will I spare; and though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, yet I will not listen to them."

nasb@Ezekiel:5:2 @Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:5 @But to the others He said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:6" @Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:9 @Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood and the city is full of perversion; for they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!'

nasb@Ezekiel:5:10" @But as for Me, My eye will have no pity nor will I spare, but I will bring their conduct upon their heads."

nasb@Ezekiel:6:3 @Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:10 @As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:16 @Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:3 @who say, 'The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot and we are the flesh.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:5 @Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, "Say, 'Thus says the LORD, "So you think, house of Israel, for I know your thoughts.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:10" @You will fall by the sword. I will judge you to the border of Israel; so you shall know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:11" @This city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be flesh in the midst of it, but I will judge you to the border of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:12" @Thus you will know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes nor have you executed My ordinances, but have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Now it came about as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, " Alas, Lord GOD! Will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:2" @Son of man, you live in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:3" @Therefore, son of man, prepare for yourself baggage for exile and go into exile by day in their sight; even go into exile from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand though they are a rebellious house.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:6" @Load the baggage on your shoulder in their sight and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel."

nasb@Ezekiel:7:9" @Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, ' What are you doing?'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:12" @The prince who is among them will load his baggage on his shoulder in the dark and go out. They will dig a hole through the wall to bring it out. He will cover his face so that he can not see the land with his eyes.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13" @I will also spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:15" @So they will know that I am the LORD when I scatter them among the nations and spread them among the countries.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:16" @But I will spare a few of them from the sword, the famine and the pestilence that they may tell all their abominations among the nations where they go, and may know that I am the LORD."

nasb@Ezekiel:7:20" @The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation. So you will know that I am the LORD."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:23" @Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "I will make this proverb cease so that they will no longer use it as a proverb in Israel." But tell them, " The days draw near as well as the fulfillment of every vision.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:27" @Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:28" @Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,"'" declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:3 @'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:10" @It is definitely because they have misled My people by saying, ' Peace!' when there is no peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, they plaster it over with whitewash;

nasb@Ezekiel:7:12" @Behold, when the wall has fallen, will you not be asked, 'Where is the plaster with which you plastered it?'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:14" @So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be consumed in its midst. And you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:27" @Behold now, I have stretched out My hand against you and diminished your rations. And I delivered you up to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd conduct.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:28" @Moreover, you played the harlot with the Assyrians because you were not satisfied; you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:31" @When you built your shrine at the beginning of every street and made your high place in every square, in disdaining money, you were not like a harlot.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:49" @Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom- she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:51" @Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. Thus you have made your sisters appear righteous by all your abominations which you have committed.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:56" @As the name of your sister Sodom was not heard from your lips in your day of pride,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:57 @before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines--those surrounding you who despise you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:61" @Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:7 @Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:11" @But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:12" @ By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing."

nasb@Ezekiel:19:15" @This shall be the boundary of the land- on the north side, from the Great Sea by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;

nasb@Ezekiel:19:17" @The boundary shall extend from the sea to Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:18" @The east side, from between Hauran, Damascus, Gilead and the land of Israel, shall be the Jordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:48" @Now these are the names of the tribes- from the northern extremity, beside the way of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath, as far as Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, toward the north beside Hamath, running from east to west, Dan, one portion.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:10" @The holy allotment shall be for these, namely for the priests, toward the north 25,000 cubits in length, toward the west 10,000 in width, toward the east 10,000 in width, and toward the south 25,000 in length; and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in its midst.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:11" @It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the sons of Israel went astray as the Levites went astray.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:14" @Moreover, they shall not sell or exchange any of it, or alienate this choice portion of land; for it is holy to the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:16" @These shall be its measurements- the north side 4,500 cubits, the south side 4,500 cubits, the east side 4,500 cubits, and the west side 4,500 cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:17" @The city shall have open spaces- on the north 250 cubits, on the south 250 cubits, on the east 250 cubits, and on the west 250 cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:19:30" @These are the exits of the city- on the north side, 4,500 cubits by measurement,

nasb@Ezekiel:19:31 @shall be the gates of the city, named for the tribes of Israel, three gates toward the north- the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

nasb@Daniel:1:3 @Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his officials, to bring in some of the sons of Israel, including some of the royal family and of the nobles,

nasb@Daniel:1:4 @youths in whom was no defect, who were good-looking, showing intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for serving in the king's court; and he ordered him to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.

nasb@Daniel:1:6 @Now among them from the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.

nasb@Daniel:1:8 @But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king's choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself.

nasb@Daniel:1:9 @Now God granted Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the commander of the officials,

nasb@Daniel:1:17 @As for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom; Daniel even understood all kinds of visions and dreams.

nasb@Daniel:1:19 @The king talked with them, and out of them all not one was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king's personal service.

nasb@Daniel:2:1 @Now in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.

nasb@Daniel:2:5 @The king replied to the Chaldeans, "The command from me is firm- if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be torn limb from limb and your houses will be made a rubbish heap.

nasb@Daniel:2:6" @But if you declare the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and a reward and great honor; therefore declare to me the dream and its interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:2:8 @The king replied, "I know for certain that you are bargaining for time, inasmuch as you have seen that the command from me is firm,

nasb@Daniel:2:9 @that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is only one decree for you. For you have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, that I may know that you can declare to me its interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:2:10 @The Chaldeans answered the king and said, "There is not a man on earth who could declare the matter for the king, inasmuch as no great king or ruler has ever asked anything like this of any magician, conjurer or Chaldean.

nasb@Daniel:2:11" @Moreover, the thing which the king demands is difficult, and there is no one else who could declare it to the king except gods, whose dwelling place is not with mortal flesh."

nasb@Daniel:2:18 @so that they might request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:2:21" @It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding.

nasb@Daniel:2:22" @It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.

nasb@Daniel:2:23" @To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, For You have given me wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You, For You have made known to us the king's matter."

nasb@Daniel:2:24 @Therefore, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and spoke to him as follows- " Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon! Take me into the king's presence, and I will declare the interpretation to the king."

nasb@Daniel:2:25 @Then Arioch hurriedly brought Daniel into the king's presence and spoke to him as follows- "I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can make the interpretation known to the king!"

nasb@Daniel:2:26 @The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation?"

nasb@Daniel:2:27 @Daniel answered before the king and said, "As for the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither wise men, conjurers, magicians nor diviners are able to declare it to the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:28" @However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the latter days. This was your dream and the visions in your mind while on your bed.

nasb@Daniel:2:29" @As for you, O king, while on your bed your thoughts turned to what would take place in the future; and He who reveals mysteries has made known to you what will take place.

nasb@Daniel:2:30" @But as for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in any other living man, but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

nasb@Daniel:2:35" @Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

nasb@Daniel:2:36" @This was the dream; now we will tell its interpretation before the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:39" @After you there will arise another kingdom inferior to you, then another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.

nasb@Daniel:2:43" @And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.

nasb@Daniel:2:44" @In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.

nasb@Daniel:2:45" @Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will take place in the future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy."

nasb@Daniel:3:2 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent word to assemble the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:3 @Then the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces were assembled for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:6" @But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire."

nasb@Daniel:3:11" @But whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:12" @There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. These men, O king, have disregarded you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

nasb@Daniel:3:14 @Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up?

nasb@Daniel:3:15" @Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?"

nasb@Daniel:3:16 @Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter.

nasb@Daniel:3:18" @ But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."

nasb@Daniel:3:24 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king."

nasb@Daniel:3:27 @The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king's high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.

nasb@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king's command, and yielded up their bodies so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God.

nasb@Daniel:3:29" @Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation or tongue that speaks anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their houses reduced to a rubbish heap, inasmuch as there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

nasb@Daniel:3:6" @So I gave orders to bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

nasb@Daniel:3:7" @Then the magicians, the conjurers, the Chaldeans and the diviners came in and I related the dream to them, but they could not make its interpretation known to me.

nasb@Daniel:3:9 @'O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, since I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery baffles you, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.

nasb@Daniel:3:10 @'Now these were the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed- I was looking, and behold, there was a tree in the midst of the earth and its height was great.

nasb@Daniel:3:17" @This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men."

nasb@Daniel:3:18 @'This is the dream which I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its interpretation, inasmuch as none of the wise men of my kingdom is able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.'

nasb@Daniel:3:19" @Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, 'Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.' Belteshazzar replied, ' My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to your adversaries!

nasb@Daniel:3:27 @'Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you- break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.'

nasb@Daniel:3:30" @The king reflected and said, 'Is this not Babylon the great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?'

nasb@Daniel:3:34" @But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason 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 endures from generation to generation.

nasb@Daniel:3:35" @ All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, ' What have You done?'

nasb@Daniel:3:36" @At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me.

nasb@Daniel:3:37" @Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride."

nasb@Daniel:4:1 @Belshazzar the king held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in the presence of the thousand.

nasb@Daniel:4:2 @When Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them.

nasb@Daniel:4:3 @Then they brought the gold vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

nasb@Daniel:4:6 @Then the king's face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together.

nasb@Daniel:4:8 @Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or make known its interpretation to the king.

nasb@Daniel:4:9 @Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, his face grew even paler, and his nobles were perplexed.

nasb@Daniel:4:10 @The queen entered the banquet hall because of the words of the king and his nobles; the queen spoke and said, " O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts alarm you or your face be pale.

nasb@Daniel:4:12" @This was because an extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:4:14" @Now I have heard about you that a spirit of the gods is in you, and that illumination, insight and extraordinary wisdom have been found in you.

nasb@Daniel:4:15" @Just now the wise men and the conjurers were brought in before me that they might read this inscription and make its interpretation known to me, but they could not declare the interpretation of the message.

nasb@Daniel:4:16" @But I personally have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its interpretation known to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler in the kingdom."

nasb@Daniel:4:17 @Then Daniel answered and said before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him.

nasb@Daniel:4:22" @Yet you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this,

nasb@Daniel:4:23 @but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and all your ways, you have not glorified.

nasb@Daniel:4:25" @Now this is the inscription that was written out- 'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.'

nasb@Daniel:4:29 @Then Belshazzar gave orders, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a necklace of gold around his neck, and issued a proclamation concerning him that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom.

nasb@Daniel:5:2 @and over them three commissioners (of whom Daniel was one), that these satraps might be accountable to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.

nasb@Daniel:5:4 @Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.

nasb@Daniel:5:5 @Then these men said, "We will not find any ground of accusation against this Daniel unless we find it against him with regard to the law of his God."

nasb@Daniel:5:7" @All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be cast into the lions' den.

nasb@Daniel:5:8" @Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:10 @Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.

nasb@Daniel:5:12 @Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king's injunction, "Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions' den?" The king replied, "The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:13 @Then they answered and spoke before the king, " Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day."

nasb@Daniel:5:15 @Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, "Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

nasb@Daniel:5:17 @A stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be changed in regard to Daniel.

nasb@Daniel:5:18 @Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

nasb@Daniel:5:22" @My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime."

nasb@Daniel:5:23 @Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

nasb@Daniel:5:24 @The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions' den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

nasb@Daniel:5:26" @I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel; For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever.

nasb@Daniel:6:3" @And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another.

nasb@Daniel:6:5" @And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!'

nasb@Daniel:6:6" @After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

nasb@Daniel:6:8" @While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.

nasb@Daniel:6:9" @I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire.

nasb@Daniel:6:14" @And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.

nasb@Daniel:6:16" @I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things-

nasb@Daniel:6:19" @Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet,

nasb@Daniel:6:24 @'As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.

nasb@Daniel:7:3 @Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last.

nasb@Daniel:7:4 @I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him nor was there anyone to rescue from his power, but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

nasb@Daniel:7:7 @I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.

nasb@Daniel:7:13 @Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that particular one who was speaking, " How long will the vision about the regular sacrifice apply, while the transgression causes horror, so as to allow both the holy place and the host to be trampled?"

nasb@Daniel:7:18 @Now while he was talking with me, I sank into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand upright.

nasb@Daniel:7:19 @He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

nasb@Daniel:7:22" @The broken horn and the four horns that arose in its place represent four kingdoms which will arise from his nation, although not with his power.

nasb@Daniel:7:24" @His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree And prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people.

nasb@Daniel:7:27 @Then I, Daniel, was exhausted and sick for days. Then I got up again and carried on the king's business; but I was astounded at the vision, and there was none to explain it.

nasb@Daniel:8:6" @Moreover, we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.

nasb@Daniel:8:10 @nor have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His teachings which He set before us through His servants the prophets.

nasb@Daniel:8:11" @Indeed all Israel has transgressed Your law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us, along with the oath which is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against Him.

nasb@Daniel:8:12" @Thus He has confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring on us great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what was done to Jerusalem.

nasb@Daniel:8:13" @As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth.

nasb@Daniel:8:14" @Therefore the LORD has kept the calamity in store and brought it on us; for the LORD our God is righteous with respect to all His deeds which He has done, but we have not obeyed His voice.

nasb@Daniel:8:15" @And now, O Lord our God, who have brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked.

nasb@Daniel:8:16" @O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

nasb@Daniel:8:17" @So now, our God, listen to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and for Your sake, O Lord, let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary.

nasb@Daniel:8:18" @O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion.

nasb@Daniel:8:19" @O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name."

nasb@Daniel:8:20 @Now while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God,

nasb@Daniel:8:22 @He gave me instruction and talked with me and said, "O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with understanding.

nasb@Daniel:8:24" @Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.

nasb@Daniel:8:25" @So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

nasb@Daniel:8:26" @Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.

nasb@Daniel:9:3 @I did not eat any tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment at all until the entire three weeks were completed.

nasb@Daniel:9:7 @Now I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, while the men who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great dread fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves.

nasb@Daniel:9:8 @So I was left alone and saw this great vision; yet no strength was left in me, for my natural color turned to a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:11 @He said to me, "O Daniel, man of high esteem, understand the words that I am about to tell you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.

nasb@Daniel:9:12 @Then he said to me, " Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

nasb@Daniel:9:14" @Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future."

nasb@Daniel:9:16 @And behold, one who resembled a human being was touching my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, "O my lord, as a result of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @For how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me."

nasb@Daniel:9:19 @He said, "O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you; take courage and be courageous!" Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, "May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

nasb@Daniel:9:20 @Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

nasb@Daniel:9:2" @And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will arouse the whole empire against the realm of Greece.

nasb@Daniel:9:4" @But as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four points of the compass, though not to his own descendants, nor according to his authority which he wielded, for his sovereignty will be uprooted and given to others besides them.

nasb@Daniel:9:6" @After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to carry out a peaceful arrangement. But she will not retain her position of power, nor will he remain with his power, but she will be given up, along with those who brought her in and the one who sired her as well as he who supported her in those times.

nasb@Daniel:9:7" @But one of the descendants of her line will arise in his place, and he will come against their army and enter the fortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and display great strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:8" @Also their gods with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold he will take into captivity to Egypt, and he on his part will refrain from attacking the king of the North for some years.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @The king of the South will be enraged and go forth and fight with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be given into the hand of the former.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @When the multitude is carried away, his heart will be lifted up, and he will cause tens of thousands to fall; yet he will not prevail.

nasb@Daniel:9:13" @For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and after an interval of some years he will press on with a great army and much equipment.

nasb@Daniel:9:14" @Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they will fall down.

nasb@Daniel:9:15" @Then the king of the North will come, cast up a siege ramp and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand.

nasb@Daniel:9:16" @But he who comes against him will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @He will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, bringing with him a proposal of peace which he will put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to ruin it. But she will not take a stand for him or be on his side.

nasb@Daniel:9:19" @So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and be found no more.

nasb@Daniel:9:20" @Then in his place one will arise who will send an oppressor through the Jewel of his kingdom; yet within a few days he will be shattered, though not in anger nor in battle.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

nasb@Daniel:9:24" @In a time of tranquility he will enter the richest parts of the realm, and he will accomplish what his fathers never did, nor his ancestors; he will distribute plunder, booty and possessions among them, and he will devise his schemes against strongholds, but only for a time.

nasb@Daniel:9:25" @He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South with a large army; so the king of the South will mobilize an extremely large and mighty army for war; but he will not stand, for schemes will be devised against him.

nasb@Daniel:9:27" @As for both kings, their hearts will be intent on evil, and they will speak lies to each other at the same table; but it will not succeed, for the end is still to come at the appointed time.

nasb@Daniel:9:29" @At the appointed time he will return and come into the South, but this last time it will not turn out the way it did before.

nasb@Daniel:9:32" @By smooth words he will turn to godlessness those who act wickedly toward the covenant, but the people who know their God will display strength and take action.

nasb@Daniel:9:34" @Now when they fall they will be granted a little help, and many will join with them in hypocrisy.

nasb@Daniel:9:37" @He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all.

nasb@Daniel:9:38" @But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know; he will honor him with gold, silver, costly stones and treasures.

nasb@Daniel:9:39" @He will take action against the strongest of fortresses with the help of a foreign god; he will give great honor to those who acknowledge him and will cause them to rule over the many, and will parcel out land for a price.

nasb@Daniel:9:40" @At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter countries, overflow them and pass through.

nasb@Daniel:9:42" @Then he will stretch out his hand against other countries, and the land of Egypt will not escape.

nasb@Daniel:9:44" @But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many.

nasb@Daniel:9:45" @He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

nasb@Daniel:9:4" @But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."

nasb@Daniel:9:8 @As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?"

nasb@Daniel:9:10" @ Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.

nasb@Hosea:1:6 @Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them.

nasb@Hosea:1:7" @But I will have compassion on the house of Judah and deliver them by the LORD their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, battle, horses or horsemen."

nasb@Hosea:1:9 @And the LORD said, "Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people and I am not your God."

nasb@Hosea:1:10 @Yet the number of the sons of Israel Will be like the sand of the sea, Which cannot be measured or numbered; And in the place Where it is said to them, "You are not My people," It will be said to them, "You are the sons of the living God."

nasb@Hosea:2:2" @Contend with your mother, contend, For she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; And let her put away her harlotry from her face And her adultery from between her breasts,

nasb@Hosea:2:4" @Also, I will have no compassion on her children, Because they are children of harlotry.

nasb@Hosea:2:6" @Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, And I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths.

nasb@Hosea:2:7" @She will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find them. Then she will say, ' I will go back to my first husband, For it was better for me then than now!'

nasb@Hosea:2:8" @For she does not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, Which they used for Baal.

nasb@Hosea:2:10" @And then I will uncover her lewdness In the sight of her lovers, And no one will rescue her out of My hand.

nasb@Hosea:2:16" @It will come about in that day," declares the LORD, "That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.

nasb@Hosea:2:17" @For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.

nasb@Hosea:2:20 @And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:2:23" @I will sow her for Myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, And I will say to those who were not My people, 'You are My people!' And they will say, 'You are my God!'"

nasb@Hosea:3:3 @Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you."

nasb@Hosea:4:1 @Listen to the word of the LORD, O sons of Israel, For the LORD has a case against the inhabitants of the land, Because there is no faithfulness or kindness Or knowledge of God in the land.

nasb@Hosea:4:4 @Yet let no one find fault, and let none offer reproof; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.

nasb@Hosea:4:6 @My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

nasb@Hosea:4:10 @They will eat, but not have enough; They will play the harlot, but not increase, Because they have stopped giving heed to the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:4:14 @I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot Or your brides when they commit adultery, For the men themselves go apart with harlots And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes; So the people without understanding are ruined.

nasb@Hosea:4:15 @Though you, Israel, play the harlot, Do not let Judah become guilty; Also do not go to Gilgal, Or go up to Beth-aven And take the oath- "As the LORD lives!"

nasb@Hosea:4:16 @Since Israel is stubborn Like a stubborn heifer, Can the LORD now pasture them Like a lamb in a large field?

nasb@Hosea:5:3 @I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel has defiled itself.

nasb@Hosea:5:4 @Their deeds will not allow them To return to their God. For a spirit of harlotry is within them, And they do not know the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:5:6 @They will go with their flocks and herds To seek the LORD, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.

nasb@Hosea:5:7 @They have dealt treacherously against the LORD, For they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their land.

nasb@Hosea:5:14 @For I will be like a lion to Ephraim And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear to pieces and go away, I will carry away, and there will be none to deliver.

nasb@Hosea:5:15 @I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.

nasb@Hosea:5:3" @So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth."

nasb@Hosea:5:6 @For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

nasb@Hosea:6:2 @And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are before My face.

nasb@Hosea:6:7 @All of them are hot like an oven, And they consume their rulers; All their kings have fallen. None of them calls on Me.

nasb@Hosea:6:8 @Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.

nasb@Hosea:6:9 @Strangers devour his strength, Yet he does not know it; Gray hairs also are sprinkled on him, Yet he does not know it.

nasb@Hosea:6:10 @Though the pride of Israel testifies against him, Yet they have not returned to the LORD their God, Nor have they sought Him, for all this.

nasb@Hosea:6:14 @And they do not cry to Me from their heart When they wail on their beds; For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn away from Me.

nasb@Hosea:6:16 @They turn, but not upward, They are like a deceitful bow; Their princes will fall by the sword Because of the insolence of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

nasb@Hosea:7:2 @They cry out to Me, "My God, we of Israel know You!"

nasb@Hosea:7:4 @They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed princes, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, That they might be cut off.

nasb@Hosea:7:5 @He has rejected your calf, O Samaria, saying, "My anger burns against them!" How long will they be incapable of innocence?

nasb@Hosea:7:6 @For from Israel is even this! A craftsman made it, so it is not God; Surely the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.

nasb@Hosea:7:7 @For they sow the wind And they reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; It yields no grain. Should it yield, strangers would swallow it up.

nasb@Hosea:7:8 @Israel is swallowed up; They are now among the nations Like a vessel in which no one delights.

nasb@Hosea:7:10 @Even though they hire allies among the nations, Now I will gather them up; And they will begin to diminish Because of the burden of the king of princes.

nasb@Hosea:7:13 @As for My sacrificial gifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat it, But the LORD has taken no delight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, And punish them for their sins; They will return to Egypt.

nasb@Hosea:8:1 @Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations! For you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved harlots' earnings on every threshing floor.

nasb@Hosea:8:2 @Threshing floor and wine press will not feed them, And the new wine will fail them.

nasb@Hosea:8:3 @They will not remain in the LORD'S land, But Ephraim will return to Egypt, And in Assyria they will eat unclean food.

nasb@Hosea:8:4 @They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the LORD, Their sacrifices will not please Him. Their bread will be like mourners' bread; All who eat of it will be defiled, For their bread will be for themselves alone; It will not enter the house of the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:8:7 @The days of punishment have come, The days of retribution have come; Let Israel know this! The prophet is a fool, The inspired man is demented, Because of the grossness of your iniquity, And because your hostility is so great.

nasb@Hosea:8:11 @As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird-- No birth, no pregnancy and no conception!

nasb@Hosea:8:12 @Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them until not a man is left. Yes, woe to them indeed when I depart from them!

nasb@Hosea:8:15 @All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels.

nasb@Hosea:8:16 @Ephraim is stricken, their root is dried up, They will bear no fruit. Even though they bear children, I will slay the precious ones of their womb.

nasb@Hosea:8:17 @My God will cast them away Because they have not listened to Him; And they will be wanderers among the nations.

nasb@Hosea:9:2 @Their heart is faithless; Now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars And destroy their sacred pillars.

nasb@Hosea:9:3 @Surely now they will say, "We have no king, For we do not revere the LORD. As for the king, what can he do for us?"

nasb@Hosea:9:4 @They speak mere words, With worthless oaths they make covenants; And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

nasb@Hosea:9:9 @From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel; There they stand! Will not the battle against the sons of iniquity overtake them in Gibeah?

nasb@Hosea:10:3 @Yet it is I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them in My arms; But they did not know that I healed them.

nasb@Hosea:10:5 @They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria--he will be their king Because they refused to return to Me.

nasb@Hosea:10:7 @So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.

nasb@Hosea:10:9 @I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath.

nasb@Hosea:11:8 @And Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors they will find in me No iniquity, which would be sin."

nasb@Hosea:11:12 @Now Jacob fled to the land of Aram, And Israel worked for a wife, And for a wife he kept sheep.

nasb@Hosea:12:2 @And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves molten images, Idols skillfully made from their silver, All of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them, "Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!"

nasb@Hosea:12:4 @Yet I have been the LORD your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.

nasb@Hosea:12:10 @Where now is your king That he may save you in all your cities, And your judges of whom you requested, "Give me a king and princes"?

nasb@Hosea:12:13 @The pains of childbirth come upon him; He is not a wise son, For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.

nasb@Hosea:13:3" @Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, ' Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy."

nasb@Hosea:13:5 @I will be like the dew to Israel; He will blossom like the lily, And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.

nasb@Hosea:13:6 @His shoots will sprout, And his beauty will be like the olive tree And his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.

nasb@Hosea:13:7 @Those who live in his shadow Will again raise grain, And they will blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

nasb@Hosea:13:9 @Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them.

nasb@Joel:1:16 @Has not food been cut off before our eyes, Gladness and joy from the house of our God?

nasb@Joel:1:18 @How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle wander aimlessly Because there is no pasture for them; Even the flocks of sheep suffer.

nasb@Joel:2:2 @A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations.

nasb@Joel:2:3 @A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them, And nothing at all escapes them.

nasb@Joel:2:5 @With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains, Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, Like a mighty people arranged for battle.

nasb@Joel:2:7 @They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like soldiers; And they each march in line, Nor do they deviate from their paths.

nasb@Joel:2:8 @They do not crowd each other, They march everyone in his path; When they burst through the defenses, They do not break ranks.

nasb@Joel:2:12" @Yet even now," declares the LORD, " Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning;

nasb@Joel:2:13 @And rend your heart and not your garments." Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil.

nasb@Joel:2:14 @Who knows whether He will not turn and relent And leave a blessing behind Him, Even a grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God?

nasb@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the LORD'S ministers, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, " Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not make Your inheritance a reproach, A byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, ' Where is their God?'"

nasb@Joel:2:20" @But I will remove the northern army far from you, And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land, And its vanguard into the eastern sea, And its rear guard into the western sea. And its stench will arise and its foul smell will come up, For it has done great things."

nasb@Joel:2:21 @Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, For the LORD has done great things.

nasb@Joel:2:22 @Do not fear, beasts of the field, For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green, For the tree has borne its fruit, The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.

nasb@Joel:2:27" @Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.

nasb@Joel:3:17 @Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, And strangers will pass through it no more.

nasb@Joel:3:19 @Egypt will become a waste, And Edom will become a desolate wilderness, Because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, In whose land they have shed innocent blood.

nasb@Joel:3:21 @And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, For the LORD dwells in Zion.

nasb@Zechariah:1:3 @And behold, the angel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him,

nasb@Zechariah:1:6" @Ho there! Flee from the land of the north," declares the LORD, "for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens," declares the LORD.

nasb@Zechariah:1:9" @For behold, I will wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me.

nasb@Zechariah:1:11" @ Many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.

nasb@Zechariah:2:2 @The LORD said to Satan, " The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?"

nasb@Zechariah:2:3 @Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel.

nasb@Zechariah:2:8 @'Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you--indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch.

nasb@Zechariah:3:5 @So the angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, " Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."

nasb@Zechariah:3:6 @Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, ' Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Zechariah:3:9" @The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

nasb@Zechariah:3:13 @So he answered me, saying, " Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."

nasb@Zechariah:3:14 @Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who are standing by the Lord of the whole earth."

nasb@Zechariah:4:5 @Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth."

nasb@Zechariah:5:1 @Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains.

nasb@Zechariah:5:6 @with one of which the black horses are going forth to the north country; and the white ones go forth after them, while the dappled ones go forth to the south country.

nasb@Zechariah:5:8 @Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, "See, those who are going to the land of the north have appeased My wrath in the land of the north."

nasb@Zechariah:5:13" @Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices."'

nasb@Zechariah:5:14" @Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the LORD to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah.

nasb@Zechariah:5:15" @ Those who are far off will come and build the temple of the LORD." Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your God.

nasb@Zechariah:6:2 @Now the town of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regemmelech and their men to seek the favor of the LORD,

nasb@Zechariah:6:6 @'When you eat and drink, do you not eat for yourselves and do you not drink for yourselves?

nasb@Zechariah:6:7 @'Are not these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prosperous along with its cities around it, and the Negev and the foothills were inhabited?'"

nasb@Zechariah:6:10 @and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.'

nasb@Zechariah:6:12" @They made their hearts like flint so that they could not hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Zechariah:6:13" @And just as He called and they would not listen, so they called and I would not listen," says the LORD of hosts;

nasb@Zechariah:6:14" @but I scattered them with a storm wind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land is desolated behind them so that no one went back and forth, for they made the pleasant land desolate."

nasb@Zechariah:6:10 @'For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for animal; and for him who went out or came in there was no peace because of his enemies, and I set all men one against another.

nasb@Zechariah:6:11 @'But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,' declares the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Zechariah:6:13 @'It will come about that just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you that you may become a blessing. Do not fear; let your hands be strong.'

nasb@Zechariah:6:14" @For thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Just as I purposed to do harm to you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath,' says the LORD of hosts, 'and I have not relented,

nasb@Zechariah:6:15 @so I have again purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not fear!

nasb@Zechariah:6:16 @'These are the things which you should do- speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates.

nasb@Zechariah:6:17 @'Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I hate,' declares the LORD."

nasb@Zechariah:6:21 @'The inhabitants of one will go to another, saying, "Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts; I will also go."

nasb@Zechariah:7:5 @Ashkelon will see it and be afraid. Gaza too will writhe in great pain; Also Ekron, for her expectation has been confounded. Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza, And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.

nasb@Zechariah:7:8 @But I will camp around My house because of an army, Because of him who passes by and returns; And no oppressor will pass over them anymore, For now I have seen with My eyes.

nasb@Zechariah:8:2 @For the teraphim speak iniquity, And the diviners see lying visions And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep, They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.

nasb@Zechariah:8:6" @I will strengthen the house of Judah, And I will save the house of Joseph, And I will bring them back, Because I have had compassion on them; And they will be as though I had not rejected them, For I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.

nasb@Zechariah:8:10" @I will bring them back from the land of Egypt And gather them from Assyria; And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon Until no room can be found for them.

nasb@Zechariah:9:1 @Open your doors, O Lebanon, That a fire may feed on your cedars.

nasb@Zechariah:9:5" @Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished, and each of those who sell them says, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I have become rich!' And their own shepherds have no pity on them.

nasb@Zechariah:9:6" @For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of the land," declares the LORD; "but behold, I will cause the men to fall, each into another's power and into the power of his king; and they will strike the land, and I will not deliver them from their power."

nasb@Zechariah:9:9 @Then I said, "I will not pasture you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be annihilated, let it be annihilated; and let those who are left eat one another's flesh."

nasb@Zechariah:9:12 @I said to them, "If it is good in your sight, give me my wages; but if not, never mind!" So they weighed out thirty shekels of silver as my wages.

nasb@Zechariah:9:16" @For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.

nasb@Zechariah:9:7" @The LORD also will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah.

nasb@Zechariah:9:2" @It will come about in that day," declares the LORD of hosts, "that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

nasb@Zechariah:9:3" @And if anyone still prophesies, then his father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him, 'You shall not live, for you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD'; and his father and mother who gave birth to him will pierce him through when he prophesies.

nasb@Zechariah:9:4" @Also it will come about in that day that the prophets will each be ashamed of his vision when he prophesies, and they will not put on a hairy robe in order to deceive;

nasb@Zechariah:9:5 @but he will say, 'I am not a prophet; I am a tiller of the ground, for a man sold me as a slave in my youth.'

nasb@Zechariah:10:2 @For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city.

nasb@Zechariah:10:4 @In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south.

nasb@Zechariah:10:6 @In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle.

nasb@Zechariah:10:7 @For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light.

nasb@Zechariah:10:11 @People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.

nasb@Zechariah:10:12 @Now this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth.

nasb@Zechariah:10:13 @It will come about in that day that a great panic from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another's hand, and the hand of one will be lifted against the hand of another.

nasb@Zechariah:10:17 @And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them.

nasb@Zechariah:10:18 @If the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the LORD smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

nasb@Zechariah:10:19 @This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

nasb@Zechariah:10:21 @Every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the LORD of hosts; and all who sacrifice will come and take of them and boil in them. And there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts in that day.

nasb@Malachi:0:2" @I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have You loved us?" "Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob;

nasb@Malachi:0:6" @ 'A son honors his father, and a servant his master. Then if I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My respect?' says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests who despise My name. But you say, 'How have we despised Your name?'

nasb@Malachi:0:8" @But when you present the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is it not evil? Why not offer it to your governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?" says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:9" @But now will you not entreat God's favor, that He may be gracious to us? With such an offering on your part, will He receive any of you kindly?" says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:10" @Oh that there were one among you who would shut the gates, that you might not uselessly kindle fire on My altar! I am not pleased with you," says the LORD of hosts, " nor will I accept an offering from you.

nasb@Malachi:0:2" @And now this commandment is for you, O priests.

nasb@Malachi:0:2" @If you do not listen, and if you do not take it to heart to give honor to My name," says the LORD of hosts, "then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; and indeed, I have cursed them already, because you are not taking it to heart.

nasb@Malachi:0:4" @Then you will know that I have sent this commandment to you, that My covenant may continue with Levi," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:6" @ True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many back from iniquity.

nasb@Malachi:0:7" @For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:9" @So I also have made you despised and abased before all the people, just as you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in the instruction.

nasb@Malachi:0:10" @Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?

nasb@Malachi:0:13" @This is another thing you do- you cover the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping and with groaning, because He no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand.

nasb@Malachi:0:15" @But not one has done so who has a remnant of the Spirit. And what did that one do while he was seeking a godly offspring? Take heed then to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of your youth.

nasb@Malachi:0:16" @For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong," says the LORD of hosts. "So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously."

nasb@Malachi:0:5" @Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the alien and do not fear Me," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:6" @For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

nasb@Malachi:0:7" @From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts. "But you say, 'How shall we return?'

nasb@Malachi:0:10" @ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.

nasb@Malachi:0:11" @Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes," says the LORD of hosts.

nasb@Malachi:0:15 @'So now we call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up but they also test God and escape.'"

nasb@Malachi:0:16 @Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name.

nasb@Malachi:0:18 @So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

nasb@Malachi:0:4" @For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze," says the LORD of hosts, "so that it will leave them neither root nor branch."

nasb@Malachi:0:6" @He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse."
