nkjv@Genesis:1:2 @ The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

nkjv@Genesis:1:11 @ Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:1:12 @ And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

nkjv@Genesis:1:14 @ Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;

nkjv@Genesis:1:15 @ and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:1:24 @ Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

nkjv@Genesis:1:30 @ Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so.

nkjv@Genesis:2:5 @ before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

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

nkjv@Genesis:2:8 @ The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

nkjv@Genesis:2:9 @ And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:2:20 @ So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

nkjv@Genesis:2:24 @ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

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

nkjv@Genesis:3:6 @ So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

nkjv@Genesis:3:16 @ To the woman He said: "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you."

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

nkjv@Genesis:3:18 @ Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.

nkjv@Genesis:3:19 @ In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return."

nkjv@Genesis:3:21 @ Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

nkjv@Genesis:3:22 @ Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--

nkjv@Genesis:3:23 @ therefore the LORD God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

nkjv@Genesis:4:7 @ If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."

nkjv@Genesis:4:19 @ Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah.

nkjv@Genesis:4:22 @ And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every craftsman in bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:4:26 @ And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:5:13 @ After he begot Mahalalel, Cainan lived eight hundred and forty years, and had sons and daughters.

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

nkjv@Genesis:5:29 @ And he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD has cursed."

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

nkjv@Genesis:6:3 @ And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."

nkjv@Genesis:6:7 @ So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."

nkjv@Genesis:6:11 @ The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

nkjv@Genesis:6:12 @ So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:6:16 @ You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third decks.

nkjv@Genesis:6:21 @ And you shall take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them."

nkjv@Genesis:7:4 @ For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made."

nkjv@Genesis:7:12 @ And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

nkjv@Genesis:7:17 @ Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.

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

nkjv@Genesis:8:9 @ But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

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

nkjv@Genesis:9:3 @ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs.

nkjv@Genesis:9:5 @ Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man's brother I will require the life of man.

nkjv@Genesis:9:6 @ "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed; For in the image of God He made man.

nkjv@Genesis:10:9 @ He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD."

nkjv@Genesis:10:25 @ To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:11:28 @ And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

nkjv@Genesis:12:10 @ Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:12:19 @ Why did you say, "She is my sister'? I might have taken her as my wife. Now therefore, here is your wife; take her and go your way."

nkjv@Genesis:13:6 @ Now the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:13:10 @ And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.

nkjv@Genesis:13:11 @ Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.

nkjv@Genesis:13:15 @ for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.

nkjv@Genesis:13:17 @ Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you."

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

nkjv@Genesis:14:15 @ He divided his forces against them by night, and he and his servants attacked them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

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

nkjv@Genesis:15:6 @ And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

nkjv@Genesis:15:16 @ But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."

nkjv@Genesis:16:10 @ Then the Angel of the LORD said to her, "I will multiply your descendants exceedingly, so that they shall not be counted for multitude."

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

nkjv@Genesis:16:14 @ Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; observe, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:17:9 @ And God said to Abraham: "As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

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

nkjv@Genesis:17:12 @ He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant.

nkjv@Genesis:17:13 @ He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

nkjv@Genesis:17:14 @ And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant."

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

nkjv@Genesis:17:18 @ And Abraham said to God, "Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!"

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

nkjv@Genesis:17:20 @ And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

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

nkjv@Genesis:17:24 @ Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

nkjv@Genesis:17:25 @ And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

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

nkjv@Genesis:18:8 @ So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.

nkjv@Genesis:18:12 @ Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

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

nkjv@Genesis:18:15 @ But Sarah denied it, saying, "I did not laugh," for she was afraid. And He said, "No, but you did laugh!"

nkjv@Genesis:18:19 @ For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him."

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

nkjv@Genesis:18:24 @ Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?

nkjv@Genesis:18:26 @ So the LORD said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes."

nkjv@Genesis:18:28 @ Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?" So He said, "If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it."

nkjv@Genesis:18:29 @ And he spoke to Him yet again and said, "Suppose there should be forty found there?" So He said, "I will not do it for the sake of forty."

nkjv@Genesis:18:31 @ And he said, "Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there?" So He said, "I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty."

nkjv@Genesis:18:32 @ Then he said, "Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?" And He said, "I will not destroy it for the sake of ten."

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

nkjv@Genesis:19:13 @ For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it."

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:19:21 @ And he said to him, "See, I have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.

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

nkjv@Genesis:19:27 @ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:19:30 @ Then Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:20:7 @ Now therefore, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours."

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:20:16 @ Then to Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindicates you before all who are with you and before everybody." Thus she was rebuked.

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

nkjv@Genesis:21:1 @ And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken.

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

nkjv@Genesis:21:7 @ She also said, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."

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

nkjv@Genesis:21:12 @ But God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called.

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

nkjv@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad. Then the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said to her, "What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

nkjv@Genesis:21:18 @ Arise, lift up the lad and hold him with your hand, for I will make him a great nation."

nkjv@Genesis:21:21 @ He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.

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

nkjv@Genesis:21:31 @ Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because the two of them swore an oath there.

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

nkjv@Genesis:22:7 @ But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

nkjv@Genesis:22:8 @ And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." So the two of them went together.

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

nkjv@Genesis:22:13 @ Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

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

nkjv@Genesis:23:3 @ Then Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:23:12 @ Then Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land;

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:23:17 @ So the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, which were within all the surrounding borders, were deeded

nkjv@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

nkjv@Genesis:23:19 @ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:23:20 @ So the field and the cave that is in it were deeded to Abraham by the sons of Heth as property for a burial place.

nkjv@Genesis:24:3 @ and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;

nkjv@Genesis:24:4 @ but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:24:33 @ Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told about my errand." And he said, "Speak on."

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

nkjv@Genesis:24:38 @ but you shall go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.'

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

nkjv@Genesis:24:41 @ You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.'

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:24:51 @ Here is Rebekah before you; take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken."

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:25:9 @ And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,

nkjv@Genesis:25:20 @ Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

nkjv@Genesis:25:21 @ Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

nkjv@Genesis:25:24 @ So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.

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

nkjv@Genesis:26:3 @ Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

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

nkjv@Genesis:26:14 @ for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:26:34 @ When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:27:37 @ Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, "Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?"

nkjv@Genesis:29:2 @ And he looked, and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well's mouth.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:29:14 @ And Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." And he stayed with him for a month.

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

nkjv@Genesis:29:17 @ Leah's eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:29:26 @ And Laban said, "It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:30:15 @ But she said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes also?" And Rachel said, "Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."

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

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:30:37 @ Now Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white strips in them, and exposed the white which was in the rods.

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

nkjv@Genesis:30:39 @ So the flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.

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

nkjv@Genesis:31:2 @ And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before.

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

nkjv@Genesis:31:12 @ And He said, "Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

nkjv@Genesis:31:14 @ Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, "Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

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

nkjv@Genesis:31:16 @ For all these riches which God has taken from our father are really ours and our children's; now then, whatever God has said to you, do it."

nkjv@Genesis:31:23 @ Then he took his brethren with him and pursued him for seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the mountains of Gilead.

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

nkjv@Genesis:31:30 @ And now you have surely gone because you greatly long for your father's house, but why did you steal my gods?"

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:31:37 @ Although you have searched all my things, what part of your household things have you found? Set it here before my brethren and your brethren, that they may judge between us both!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:32:12 @ For You said, "I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude."'

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.

nkjv@Genesis:32:22 @ And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He touched the socket of Jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank.

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

nkjv@Genesis:33:9 @ But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself."

nkjv@Genesis:33:12 @ Then Esau said, "Let us take our journey; let us go, and I will go before you."

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:33:19 @ And he bought the parcel of land, where he had pitched his tent, from the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for one hundred pieces of money.

nkjv@Genesis:34:8 @ But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

nkjv@Genesis:34:10 @ So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it."

nkjv@Genesis:34:14 @ And they said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:35:4 @ So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.

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

nkjv@Genesis:36:7 @ For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock.

nkjv@Genesis:36:31 @ Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel:

nkjv@Genesis:37:8 @ And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

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

nkjv@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, "They have departed from here, for I heard them say, "Let us go to Dothan."' So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:37:28 @ Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:37:34 @ Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

nkjv@Genesis:37:35 @ And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, "For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning." Thus his father wept for him.

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

nkjv@Genesis:38:10 @ And the thing which he did displeased the LORD; therefore He killed him also.

nkjv@Genesis:38:11 @ Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow in your father's house till my son Shelah is grown." For he said, "Lest he also die like his brothers." And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:40:4 @ And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.

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

nkjv@Genesis:40:10 @ and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

nkjv@Genesis:40:17 @ In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:41:12 @ Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.

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

nkjv@Genesis:41:21 @ When they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were just as ugly as at the beginning. So I awoke.

nkjv@Genesis:41:30 @ but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.

nkjv@Genesis:41:31 @ So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe.

nkjv@Genesis:41:33 @ "Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:41:36 @ Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine."

nkjv@Genesis:41:43 @ And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, "Bow the knee!" So he set him over all the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:41:46 @ Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:41:47 @ Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth abundantly.

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:41:55 @ So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do."

nkjv@Genesis:42:2 @ And he said, "Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may live and not die."

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

nkjv@Genesis:42:5 @ And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

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

nkjv@Genesis:42:18 @ Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do this and live, for I fear God:

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

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:42:25 @ Then Joseph gave a command to fill their sacks with grain, to restore every man's money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. Thus he did for them.

nkjv@Genesis:42:30 @ "The man who is lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

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

nkjv@Genesis:42:38 @ But he said, "My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave."

nkjv@Genesis:43:5 @ But if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, "You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you."'

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

nkjv@Genesis:43:32 @ So they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

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

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

nkjv@Genesis:45:6 @ For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

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

nkjv@Genesis:47:10 @ So Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:47:13 @ Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

nkjv@Genesis:47:14 @ And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

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

nkjv@Genesis:47:21 @ And as for the people, he moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end.

nkjv@Genesis:47:22 @ Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands.

nkjv@Genesis:47:23 @ Then Joseph said to the people, "Indeed I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

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

nkjv@Genesis:48:14 @ Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.

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

nkjv@Exodus:12:15 @ Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.

nkjv@Exodus:12:16 @ On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat--that only may be prepared by you.

nkjv@Exodus:12:39 @ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.

nkjv@Exodus:12:42 @ It is a night of solemn observance to the LORD for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the LORD, a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

nkjv@Exodus:13:10 @ You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

nkjv@Exodus:13:15 @ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast.

nkjv@Exodus:13:16 @ It shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt."

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

nkjv@Exodus:13:19 @ And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you."

nkjv@Exodus:13:21 @ And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.

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

nkjv@Exodus:14:12 @ Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, "Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness."

nkjv@Exodus:14:13 @ And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

nkjv@Exodus:14:14 @ The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."

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

nkjv@Exodus:14:18 @ Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."

nkjv@Exodus:14:19 @ And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.

nkjv@Exodus:14:25 @ And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians."

nkjv@Exodus:15:1 @ Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the LORD, and spoke, saying: "I will sing to the LORD, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!

nkjv@Exodus:15:7 @ And in the greatness of Your excellence You have overthrown those who rose against You; You sent forth Your wrath; It consumed them like stubble.

nkjv@Exodus:15:18 @ "The LORD shall reign forever and ever."

nkjv@Exodus:15:19 @ For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them. But the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

nkjv@Exodus:15:21 @ And Miriam answered them: "Sing to the LORD, For He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!"

nkjv@Exodus:15:23 @ Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah.

nkjv@Exodus:15:25 @ So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them,

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

nkjv@Exodus:16:4 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not.

nkjv@Exodus:16:7 @ And in the morning you shall see the glory of the LORD; for He hears your complaints against the LORD. But what are we, that you complain against us?"

nkjv@Exodus:16:8 @ Also Moses said, "This shall be seen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to the full; for the LORD hears your complaints which you make against Him. And what are we? Your complaints are not against us but against the LORD."

nkjv@Exodus:16:9 @ Then Moses spoke to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation of the children of Israel, "Come near before the LORD, for He has heard your complaints."'

nkjv@Exodus:16:15 @ So when the children 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, "This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.

nkjv@Exodus:16:16 @ This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: "Let every man gather it according to each one's need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent."'

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

nkjv@Exodus:16:23 @ Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD has said: "Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning."'

nkjv@Exodus:16:25 @ Then Moses said, "Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field.

nkjv@Exodus:16:29 @ See! For the LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."

nkjv@Exodus:16:32 @ Then Moses said, "This is the thing which the LORD has commanded: "Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt."'

nkjv@Exodus:16:33 @ And Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations."

nkjv@Exodus:16:34 @ As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.

nkjv@Exodus:16:35 @ And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Exodus:17:1 @ Then all the congregation of the children of Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the commandment of the LORD, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

nkjv@Exodus:17:2 @ Therefore the people contended with Moses, and said, "Give us water, that we may drink." So Moses said to them, "Why do you contend with me? Why do you tempt the LORD?"

nkjv@Exodus:17:3 @ And the people thirsted there for water, and the people complained against Moses, and said, "Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?"

nkjv@Exodus:17:5 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Go on before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which you struck the river, and go.

nkjv@Exodus:17:6 @ Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

nkjv@Exodus:17:14 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."

nkjv@Exodus:17:16 @ for he said, "Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation."

nkjv@Exodus:18:1 @ And Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people--that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.

nkjv@Exodus:18:9 @ Then Jethro rejoiced for all the good which the LORD had done for Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

nkjv@Exodus:18:11 @ Now I know that the LORD is greater than all the gods; for in the very thing in which they behaved proudly, He was above them."

nkjv@Exodus:18:12 @ Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and other sacrifices to offer to God. And Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God.

nkjv@Exodus:18:13 @ And so it was, on the next day, that Moses sat to judge the people; and the people stood before Moses from morning until evening.

nkjv@Exodus:18:14 @ So when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, "What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?"

nkjv@Exodus:18:18 @ Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself.

nkjv@Exodus:18:19 @ Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God.

nkjv@Exodus:18:22 @ And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for they will bear the burden with you.

nkjv@Exodus:19:2 @ For they had departed from Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before the mountain.

nkjv@Exodus:19:5 @ Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.

nkjv@Exodus:19:7 @ So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.

nkjv@Exodus:19:9 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever." So Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.

nkjv@Joshua:2:12 @ Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token,

nkjv@Joshua:2:14 @ So the men answered her, "Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

nkjv@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall; she dwelt on the wall.

nkjv@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the country are fainthearted because of us."

nkjv@Joshua:3:1 @ Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they crossed over.

nkjv@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before."

nkjv@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."

nkjv@Joshua:3:6 @ Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people." So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

nkjv@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, "By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

nkjv@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:3:12 @ Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from every tribe.

nkjv@Joshua:3:14 @ So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

nkjv@Joshua:3:15 @ and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest),

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

nkjv@Joshua:4:3 @ and command them, saying, "Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight."'

nkjv@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them: "Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand prepared for war crossed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:4:23 @ for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over,

nkjv@Joshua:4:24 @ that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:5:3 @ So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:5:7 @ Then Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:5:15 @ Then the Commander of the LORD's army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:6:6 @ Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

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

nkjv@Joshua:6:8 @ So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

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

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

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

nkjv@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the LORD burned against the children of Israel.

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

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.

nkjv@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns its back before its enemies?

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

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:7:13 @ Get up, sanctify the people, and say, "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the LORD God of Israel: "There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you."

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

nkjv@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

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

nkjv@Joshua:8:2 @ And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it."

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:8:7 @ Then you shall rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

nkjv@Joshua:8:9 @ Joshua therefore sent them out; and they went to lie in ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

nkjv@Joshua:8:10 @ Then Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

nkjv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty for themselves, according to the word of the LORD which He had commanded Joshua.

nkjv@Joshua:8:28 @ So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, a desolation to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:33 @ Then all Israel, with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, the stranger as well as he who was born among them. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:9:19 @ Then all the rulers said to all the congregation, "We have sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel; now therefore, we may not touch them.

nkjv@Joshua:9:21 @ And the rulers said to them, "Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for all the congregation, as the rulers had promised them."

nkjv@Joshua:9:22 @ Then Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, "Why have you deceived us, saying, "We are very far from you,' when you dwell near us?

nkjv@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore, you are cursed, and none of you shall be freed from being slaves--woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God."

nkjv@Joshua:9:24 @ So they answered Joshua and said, "Because your servants were clearly told that the LORD your God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were very much afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

nkjv@Joshua:9:27 @ And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, in the place which He would choose, even to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:3 @ Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,

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

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:10:8 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you."

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

nkjv@Joshua:10:10 @ So the LORD routed them before Israel, killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them along the road that goes to Beth Horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

nkjv@Joshua:10:11 @ And it happened, as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon, that the LORD cast down large hailstones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than the children of Israel killed with the sword.

nkjv@Joshua:10:12 @ Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon."

nkjv@Joshua:10:13 @ So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:14 @ And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the LORD heeded the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:10:19 @ And do not stay there yourselves, but pursue your enemies, and attack their rear guard. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."

nkjv@Joshua:10:20 @ Then it happened, while Joshua and the children of Israel made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they had finished, that those who escaped entered fortified cities.

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

nkjv@Joshua:10:25 @ Then Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight."

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

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:11:13 @ But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.

nkjv@Joshua:11:14 @ And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Israel took as booty for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none breathing.

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

nkjv@Joshua:13:6 @ all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as the Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians--them I will drive out from before the children of Israel; only divide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

nkjv@Joshua:13:7 @ Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh."

nkjv@Joshua:13:12 @ all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants; for Moses had defeated and cast out these.

nkjv@Joshua:13:25 @ Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, which is before Rabbah,

nkjv@Joshua:13:29 @ Moses also had given an inheritance to half the tribe of Manasseh; it was for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families:

nkjv@Joshua:13:31 @ half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:14:2 @ Their inheritance was by lot, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

nkjv@Joshua:14:3 @ For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.

nkjv@Joshua:14:4 @ For the children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property.

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

nkjv@Joshua:14:9 @ So Moses swore on that day, saying, "Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children's forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@Judges:2:14 @ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

nkjv@Judges:2:15 @ Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for calamity, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

nkjv@Judges:2:18 @ And when the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.

nkjv@Judges:2:21 @ I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,

nkjv@Judges:2:23 @ Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out immediately; nor did He deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

nkjv@Judges:3:2 @ (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),

nkjv@Judges:3:7 @ So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. They forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs.

nkjv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.

nkjv@Judges:3:9 @ When the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

nkjv@Judges:3:11 @ So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

nkjv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.

nkjv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned back from the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." He said, "Keep silence!" And all who attended him went out from him.

nkjv@Judges:3:20 @ So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So he arose from his seat.

nkjv@Judges:3:22 @ Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.

nkjv@Judges:3:25 @ So they waited till they were embarrassed, and still he had not opened the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them. And there was their master, fallen dead on the floor.

nkjv@Judges:3:28 @ Then he said to them, "Follow me, for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.

nkjv@Judges:3:30 @ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest for eighty years.

nkjv@Judges:4:3 @ And the children of Israel cried out to the LORD; for Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and for twenty years he had harshly oppressed the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:4:5 @ And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

nkjv@Judges:4:14 @ Then Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

nkjv@Judges:4:15 @ And the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.

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

nkjv@Judges:4:19 @ Then he said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a jug of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him.

nkjv@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

nkjv@Judges:12:6 @ then they would say to him, "Then say, "Shibboleth'!" And he would say, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right. Then they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites.

nkjv@Judges:12:9 @ He had thirty sons. And he gave away thirty daughters in marriage, and brought in thirty daughters from elsewhere for his sons. He judged Israel seven years.

nkjv@Judges:16:18 @ When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.

nkjv@Judges:16:19 @ Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him.

nkjv@Judges:16:20 @ And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" So he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!" But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.

nkjv@Judges:16:24 @ When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: "Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, The destroyer of our land, And the one who multiplied our dead."

nkjv@Judges:16:25 @ So it happened, when their hearts were merry, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may perform for us." So they called for Samson from the prison, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars.

nkjv@Judges:16:27 @ Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there--about three thousand men and women on the roof watching while Samson performed.

nkjv@Judges:18:19 @ And they said to him, "Be quiet, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us; be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"

nkjv@Judges:18:26 @ Then the children of Dan went their way. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

nkjv@Judges:18:29 @ And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However, the name of the city formerly was Laish.

nkjv@Judges:21:9 @ For when the people were counted, indeed, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead was there.

nkjv@Judges:21:14 @ So Benjamin came back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead; and yet they had not found enough for them.

nkjv@Judges:21:15 @ And the people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:21:16 @ Then the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?"

nkjv@Judges:21:17 @ And they said, "There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, that a tribe may not be destroyed from Israel.

nkjv@Judges:21:18 @ However, we cannot give them wives from our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn an oath, saying, "Cursed be the one who gives a wife to Benjamin."'

nkjv@1Samuel:3:21 @ Then the LORD appeared again in Shiloh. For the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:7 @ So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp!" And they said, "Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:13 @ Now when he came, there was Eli, sitting on a seat by the wayside watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told it, all the city cried out.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:17 @ So the messenger answered and said, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead; and the ark of God has been captured."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:18 @ Then it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:19 @ Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:20 @ And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not fear, for you have borne a son." But she did not answer, nor did she regard it.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:22 @ And she said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."

nkjv@1Samuel:5:3 @ And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set it in its place again.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:4 @ And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only Dagon's torso was left of it.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:5 @ Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:7 @ And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god."

nkjv@1Samuel:5:8 @ Therefore they sent and gathered to themselves all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" And they answered, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried away to Gath." So they carried the ark of the God of Israel away.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:10 @ Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!"

nkjv@1Samuel:5:11 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people." For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:2 @ And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it to its place."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:4 @ Then they said, "What is the trespass offering which we shall return to Him?" They answered, "Five golden tumors and five golden rats, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines. For the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:5 @ Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your rats that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will lighten His hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:7 @ Now therefore, make a new cart, take two milk cows which have never been yoked, and hitch the cows to the cart; and take their calves home, away from them.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:12 @ Then the cows headed straight for the road to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:17 @ These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned as a trespass offering to the LORD: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

nkjv@1Samuel:6:18 @ and the golden rats, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of the LORD, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:20 @ And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? And to whom shall it go up from us?"

nkjv@1Samuel:7:3 @ Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:5 @ And Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:6 @ So they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before the LORD. And they fasted that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:8 @ So the children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:9 @ And Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Then Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:10 @ Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:17 @ But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:7 @ And the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day--with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:9 @ Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them."

nkjv@1Samuel:8:10 @ So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who asked him for a king.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said, "This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:12 @ He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:18 @ And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the LORD will not hear you in that day."

nkjv@1Samuel:8:20 @ that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, "Please take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:7 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "But look, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread in our vessels is all gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:9 @ (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: "Come, let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)

nkjv@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them and said, "Yes, there he is, just ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he came to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today on the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:15 @ Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying,

nkjv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:19 @ Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:20 @ But as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father's house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, "The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:10:3 @ Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:7 @ And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:8 @ You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:12 @ Then a man from there answered and said, "But who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb: "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:14 @ Then Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" So he said, "To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:19 @ But you have today rejected your God, who Himself saved you from all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to Him, "No, set a king over us!' Now therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your clans."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:22 @ Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, "Has the man come here yet?" And the LORD answered, "There he is, hidden among the equipment."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:25 @ Then Samuel explained to the people the behavior of royalty, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:3 @ Then the elders of Jabesh said to him, "Hold off for seven days, that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. And then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:10 @ Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever seems good to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:13 @ But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished salvation in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:15 @ So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:3 @ Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:7 @ Now therefore, stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did to you and your fathers:

nkjv@1Samuel:12:9 @ And when they forgot the LORD their God, He sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:10 @ Then they cried out to the LORD, and said, "We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD and served the Baals and Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.'

nkjv@1Samuel:12:13 @ "Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, the LORD has set a king over you.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:16 @ "Now therefore, stand and see this great thing which the LORD will do before your eyes:

nkjv@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is today not the wheat harvest? I will call to the LORD, and He will send thunder and rain, that you may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking a king for yourselves."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:21 @ And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:23 @ Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:24 @ Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:6 @ When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:7 @ And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:12 @ then I said, "The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.' Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering."

nkjv@1Samuel:13:13 @ And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you. For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

nkjv@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears."

nkjv@1Samuel:13:21 @ and the charge for a sharpening was a pim for the plowshares, the mattocks, the forks, and the axes, and to set the points of the goads.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:6 @ Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say thus, "Come up to us,' then we will go up. For the LORD has delivered them into our hand, and this will be a sign to us."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:12 @ Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armorbearer, "Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:13 @ And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees with his armorbearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan. And as he came after him, his armorbearer killed them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring the ark of God here" (for at that time the ark of God was with the children of Israel).

nkjv@1Samuel:14:21 @ Moreover the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from the surrounding country, they also joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:25 @ Now all the people of the land came to a forest; and there was honey on the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the woods, there was the honey, dripping; but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; therefore he stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his countenance brightened.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now would there not have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?"

nkjv@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But not a man among all the people answered him.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, "Give a perfect lot." So Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people escaped.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:44 @ Saul answered, "God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:45 @ But the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! 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.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:52 @ Now there was fierce war with the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant man, he took him for himself.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:1 @ Samuel also said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:2 @ Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:6 @ Then Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:11 @ "I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments." And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the LORD all night.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:12 @ So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:13 @ Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, "Blessed are you of the LORD! I have performed the commandment of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:15 @ And Saul said, "They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:24 @ Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:25 @ Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:26 @ 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."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:29 @ And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said, "I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:33 @ But Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel went no more to see Saul until the day of his death. Nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:1 @ Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:3 @ Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:6 @ So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, "Surely the LORD's anointed is before Him!"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:8 @ So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:10 @ Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all the young men here?" Then he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:12 @ So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:19 @ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me your son David, who is with the sheep."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:21 @ So David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:22 @ Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:7 @ Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:16 @ And the Philistine drew near and presented himself forty days, morning and evening.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:17 @ Then Jesse said to his son David, "Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:20 @ So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:21 @ For Israel and the Philistines had drawn up in battle array, army against army.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:26 @ Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:31 @ Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:33 @ And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:39 @ David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, "I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them." So David took them off.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:40 @ Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:41 @ So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:42 @ And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:47 @ Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:49 @ Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:51 @ Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:57 @ Then, as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:9 @ So Saul eyed David from that day forward.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:11 @ And Saul cast the spear, for he said, "I will pin David to the wall!" But David escaped his presence twice.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:13 @ Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:15 @ Therefore, when Saul saw that he behaved very wisely, he was afraid of him.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:16 @ But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:17 @ Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul thought, "Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:21 @ So Saul said, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall be my son-in-law today."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Communicate with David secretly, and say, "Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king's son-in-law."'

nkjv@1Samuel:18:25 @ Then Saul said, "Thus you shall say to David: "The king does not desire any dowry but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies."' But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:27 @ therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:2 @ So Jonathan told David, saying, "My father Saul seeks to kill you. Therefore please be on your guard until morning, and stay in a secret place and hide.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:5 @ For he took his life in his hands and killed 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, to kill David without a cause?"

nkjv@1Samuel:19:13 @ And Michal took an image and laid it in the bed, put a cover of goats' hair for his head, and covered it with clothes.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:16 @ And when the messengers had come in, there was the image in the bed, with a cover of goats' hair for his head.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:24 @ And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:1 @ Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:4 @ So Jonathan said to David, "Whatever you yourself desire, I will do it for you."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, "David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

nkjv@1Samuel:20:8 @ Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. Nevertheless, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:9 @ But Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I knew certainly that evil was determined by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:15 @ but you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:17 @ Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:21 @ and there I will send a lad, saying, "Go, find the arrows.' If I expressly say to the lad, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come'--then, as the LORD lives, there is safety for you and no harm.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:22 @ But if I say thus to the young man, "Look, the arrows are beyond you'--go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:23 @ And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, indeed the LORD be between you and me forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:26 @ Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:29 @ And he said, "Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:34 @ So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, "May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever."' So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:3 @ Now therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:6 @ So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread which had been taken from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place on the day when it was taken away.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, "Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:9 @ So the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:10 @ Then David arose and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:13 @ So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:1 @ David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:3 @ Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:4 @ So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:5 @ Now the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah." So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:8 @ All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:10 @ And he inquired of the LORD for him, gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:13 @ Then Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:23 @ Stay with me; do not fear. For he who seeks my life seeks your life, but with me you shall be safe."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:2 @ Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:7 @ And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:8 @ Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:15 @ So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in a forest.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:17 @ And he said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. Even my father Saul knows that."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:18 @ So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his own house.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:20 @ Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:21 @ And Saul said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, for you have compassion on me.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:22 @ Please go and find out for sure, and see the place where his hideout is, and who has seen him there. For I am told he is very crafty.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the clans of Judah."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:24 @ So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:25 @ When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the Wilderness of Maon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:26 @ Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to take them.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:27 @ But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!"

nkjv@1Samuel:23:28 @ Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place the Rock of Escape.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:6 @ And he said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, "I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'

nkjv@1Samuel:24:11 @ Moreover, my father, see! Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:15 @ Therefore let the LORD be judge, and judge between you and me, and see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:17 @ Then he said to David: "You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:21 @ Therefore swear now to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name from my father's house."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David."'

nkjv@1Samuel:25:11 @ Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:19 @ And she said to her servants, "Go on before me; see, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid me evil for good.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:23 @ Now when Abigail saw David, she dismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down to the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Please, let not my lord regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now then, let your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:28 @ Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant. For the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil is not found in you throughout your days.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:30 @ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel,

nkjv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For indeed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:36 @ Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:39 @ So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil! For the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head." And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:4 @ David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had indeed come.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:9 @ But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:11 @ The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:12 @ So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul's head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:15 @ So David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:18 @ And he said, "Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done, or what evil is in my hand?

nkjv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, "Go, serve other gods.'

nkjv@1Samuel:26:20 @ So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have played the fool and erred exceedingly."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:23 @ May the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:1 @ And David said in his heart, "Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:5 @ Then David said to Achish, "If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:8 @ And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:11 @ David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, "Lest they should inform on us, saying, "Thus David did."' And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:12 @ So Achish believed David, saying, "He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he will be my servant forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:1 @ Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, "You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:2 @ So David said to Achish, "Surely you know what your servant can do." And Achish said to David, "Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:8 @ So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Please conduct a s^eaance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:9 @ Then the woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:10 @ And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:11 @ Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" And he said, "Bring up Samuel for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:12 @ When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:14 @ So he said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle." And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:15 @ Now Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:17 @ And the LORD has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:20 @ Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:22 @ Now therefore, please, heed also the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:25 @ So she brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they rose and went away that night.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, "Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of these men?

nkjv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then Achish called David and said to him, "Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:7 @ Therefore return now, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:10 @ Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master's servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:6 @ Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:8 @ So David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?" And He answered him, "Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:10 @ But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:12 @ And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:20 @ Then David took all the flocks and herds they had driven before those other livestock, and said, "This is David's spoil."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:22 @ Then all the wicked and worthless men of those who went with David answered and said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except for every man's wife and children, that they may lead them away and depart."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:24 @ For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:25 @ So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:26 @ Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, "Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD"--

nkjv@1Samuel:31:1 @ Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:4 @ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:7 @ And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:9 @ He said to me again, "Please stand over me and kill me, for anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:11 @ Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and so did all the men who were with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:12 @ And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the people of the LORD and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:14 @ So David said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"

nkjv@2Samuel:1:16 @ So David said to him, "Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, "I have killed the LORD's anointed."'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:21 @ "O mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, Nor fields of offerings. For the shield of the mighty is cast away there! The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:26 @ I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me; Your love to me was wonderful, Surpassing the love of women.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:5 @ So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "You are blessed of the LORD, for you have shown this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:7 @ Now therefore, let your hands be strengthened, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:10 @ Ishbosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Judah followed David.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:16 @ And each one grasped his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called the Field of Sharp Swords, which is in Gibeon.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:17 @ So there was a very fierce battle that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:21 @ And Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:23 @ However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:24 @ Joab and Abishai also pursued Abner. And the sun was going down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah by the road to the Wilderness of Gibeon.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:17 @ So they brought the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:21 @ So David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:12 @ But the man said to Joab, "Though I were to receive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king's son. For in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, "Beware lest anyone touch the young man Absalom!'

nkjv@2Samuel:18:20 @ And Joab said to him, "You shall not take the news this day, for you shall take the news another day. But today you shall take no news, because the king's son is dead."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:4 @ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. Therefore Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:10 @ And David's heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, "I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O LORD, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:22 @ Now Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:24 @ Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:25 @ And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a house for me, as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today!"

nkjv@1Kings:6:33 @ So for the door of the sanctuary he also made doorposts of olive wood, one-fourth of the wall.

nkjv@1Kings:7:2 @ He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars.

nkjv@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row.

nkjv@1Kings:7:7 @ Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.

nkjv@1Kings:7:8 @ And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as wife.

nkjv@1Kings:7:17 @ He made a lattice network, with wreaths of chainwork, for the capitals which were on top of the pillars: seven chains for one capital and seven for the other capital.

nkjv@1Kings:7:18 @ So he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top; and thus he did for the other capital.

nkjv@1Kings:7:38 @ Then he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver was four cubits. On each of the ten carts was a laver.

nkjv@1Kings:7:40 @ Huram made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of the LORD:

nkjv@1Kings:7:42 @ four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars);

nkjv@1Kings:7:45 @ the pots, the shovels, and the bowls. All these articles which Huram made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of burnished bronze.

nkjv@1Kings:7:48 @ Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread;

nkjv@1Kings:7:50 @ the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:7:51 @ So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:8:2 @ Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with King Solomon at the feast in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

nkjv@1Kings:8:5 @ Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

nkjv@1Kings:8:7 @ For the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

nkjv@1Kings:8:11 @ so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever."

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

nkjv@1Kings:8:18 @ But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

nkjv@1Kings:8:19 @ Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.'

nkjv@1Kings:8:20 @ So the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

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

nkjv@1Kings:8:22 @ Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;

nkjv@1Kings:8:23 @ and he said: "LORD God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

nkjv@1Kings:8:25 @ Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'

nkjv@1Kings:8:28 @ Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O LORD my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today:

nkjv@1Kings:8:34 @ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their fathers.

nkjv@1Kings:8:36 @ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

nkjv@1Kings:8:39 @ then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men),

nkjv@1Kings:8:42 @ (for they will hear of Your great name and Your strong hand and Your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this temple,

nkjv@1Kings:8:43 @ hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name.

nkjv@1Kings:8:46 @ "When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;

nkjv@1Kings:8:48 @ and when they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name:

nkjv@1Kings:8:51 @ (for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the iron furnace),

nkjv@1Kings:8:53 @ For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD."

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

nkjv@1Kings:8:57 @ May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us,

nkjv@1Kings:8:59 @ And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near the LORD our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day may require,

nkjv@1Kings:8:61 @ Let your heart therefore be loyal to the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day."

nkjv@1Kings:8:62 @ Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:8:64 @ On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD; for there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too small to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

nkjv@1Kings:8:65 @ At that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days--fourteen days.

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

nkjv@1Kings:9:3 @ And the LORD said to him: "I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built to put My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

nkjv@1Kings:9:4 @ Now if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

nkjv@1Kings:9:5 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'

nkjv@1Kings:9:6 @ But if you or your sons at all turn from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,

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

nkjv@1Kings:9:8 @ And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?'

nkjv@1Kings:9:9 @ Then they will answer, "Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore the LORD has brought all this calamity on them."'

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

nkjv@1Kings:9:19 @ all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for his chariots and cities for his cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

nkjv@1Kings:9:21 @ that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely--from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:9:22 @ But of the children of Israel Solomon made no forced laborers, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.

nkjv@1Kings:9:24 @ But Pharaoh's daughter came up from the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built the Millo.

nkjv@1Kings:9:25 @ Now three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the LORD, and he burned incense with them on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:10:3 @ So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her.

nkjv@1Kings:10:8 @ Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

nkjv@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel! Because the LORD has loved Israel forever, therefore He made you king, to do justice and righteousness."

nkjv@1Kings:10:12 @ And the king made steps of the almug wood for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers. There never again came such almug wood, nor has the like been seen to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:10:17 @ He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:20 @ Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom.

nkjv@1Kings:10:21 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:22 @ For the king had merchant ships at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys.

nkjv@1Kings:11:1 @ But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites--

nkjv@1Kings:11:4 @ For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.

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

nkjv@1Kings:11:7 @ Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@1Kings:11:8 @ And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

nkjv@1Kings:11:11 @ Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, "Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

nkjv@1Kings:11:12 @ Nevertheless I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

nkjv@1Kings:11:13 @ However I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen."

nkjv@1Kings:11:15 @ For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had killed every male in Edom

nkjv@1Kings:11:16 @ (because for six months Joab remained there with all Israel, until he had cut down every male in Edom),

nkjv@1Kings:11:18 @ Then they arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, apportioned food for him, and gave him land.

nkjv@1Kings:11:28 @ The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon, seeing that the young man was industrious, made him the officer over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:11:33 @ because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David.

nkjv@1Kings:11:34 @ However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes.

nkjv@1Kings:11:36 @ And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.

nkjv@1Kings:11:38 @ Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

nkjv@1Kings:11:39 @ And I will afflict the descendants of David because of this, but not forever."'

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:12:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

nkjv@1Kings:12:2 @ So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in Egypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt),

nkjv@1Kings:12:4 @ "Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."

nkjv@1Kings:12:5 @ So he said to them, "Depart for three days, then come back to me." And the people departed.

nkjv@1Kings:12:6 @ Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, "How do you advise me to answer these people?"

nkjv@1Kings:12:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, "If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."

nkjv@1Kings:12:8 @ But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

nkjv@1Kings:12:15 @ So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from the LORD, that He might fulfill His word, which the LORD had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nkjv@1Kings:12:18 @ Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

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

nkjv@1Kings:12:24 @ "Thus says the LORD: "You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel. Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from Me.""' Therefore they obeyed the word of the LORD, and turned back, according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:12:28 @ Therefore the king asked advice, made two calves of gold, and said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!"

nkjv@1Kings:12:30 @ Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

nkjv@1Kings:12:33 @ So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned incense.

nkjv@1Kings:13:6 @ Then the king answered and said to the man of God, "Please entreat the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him, and became as before.

nkjv@1Kings:13:9 @ For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, "You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came."'

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:13:17 @ For I have been told by the word of the LORD, "You shall not eat bread nor drink water there, nor return by going the way you came."'

nkjv@1Kings:13:23 @ So it was, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, the prophet whom he had brought back.

nkjv@1Kings:13:26 @ Now when the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the word of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to him."

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

nkjv@1Kings:13:32 @ For the saying which he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely come to pass."

nkjv@1Kings:13:33 @ After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

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

nkjv@1Kings:14:5 @ Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."

nkjv@1Kings:14:6 @ And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news.

nkjv@1Kings:14:13 @ And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

nkjv@1Kings:14:14 @ "Moreover the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam; this is the day. What? Even now!

nkjv@1Kings:14:15 @ For the LORD will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land which He gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their wooden images, provoking the LORD to anger.

nkjv@1Kings:14:23 @ For they also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree.

nkjv@1Kings:14:24 @ And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:16:25 @ Omri did evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all who were before him.

nkjv@1Kings:16:26 @ For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their idols.

nkjv@1Kings:16:30 @ Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him.

nkjv@1Kings:16:31 @ And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; and he went and served Baal and worshiped him.

nkjv@1Kings:16:32 @ Then he set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:32 @ They were ministering with music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they served in their office according to their order.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:49 @ But Aaron and his sons offered sacrifices on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense, for all the work of the Most Holy Place, and to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:54 @ Now these are their dwelling places throughout their settlements in their territory, for they were given by lot to the sons of Aaron, of the family of the Kohathites:

nkjv@1Chronicles:6:70 @ And from the half-tribe of Manasseh: Aner with its common-lands and Bileam with its common-lands, for the rest of the family of the sons of Kohath.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:4 @ And with them, by their generations, according to their fathers' houses, were thirty-six thousand troops ready for war; for they had many wives and sons.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:11 @ All these sons of Jediael were heads of their fathers' houses; there were seventeen thousand two hundred mighty men of valor fit to go out for war and battle.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:22 @ Then Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:7:40 @ All these were the children of Asher, heads of their fathers' houses, choice men, mighty men of valor, chief leaders. And they were recorded by genealogies among the army fit for battle; their number was twenty-six thousand.

nkjv@1Chronicles:8:6 @ These are the sons of Ehud, who were the heads of the fathers' houses of the inhabitants of Geba, and who forced them to move to Manahath:

nkjv@1Chronicles:8:7 @ Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera who forced them to move. He begot Uzza and Ahihud.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:13 @ and their brethren, heads of their fathers' houses--one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:18 @ Until then they had been gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi at the King's Gate on the east.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:25 @ And their brethren in their villages had to come with them from time to time for seven days.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:26 @ For in this trusted office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites. And they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:28 @ Now some of them were in charge of the serving vessels, for they brought them in and took them out by count.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:32 @ And some of their brethren of the sons of the Kohathites were in charge of preparing the showbread for every Sabbath.

nkjv@1Chronicles:9:33 @ These are the singers, heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites, who lodged in the chambers, and were free from other duties; for they were employed in that work day and night.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:1 @ Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:4 @ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:7 @ And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:13 @ So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance.

nkjv@1Chronicles:10:14 @ But he did not inquire of the LORD; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:3 @ Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:7 @ Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:13 @ He was with David at Pasdammim. Now there the Philistines were gathered for battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley. So the people fled from the Philistines.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:19 @ And he said, "Far be it from me, O my God, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.

nkjv@1Chronicles:11:21 @ Of the three he was more honored than the other two men. Therefore he became their captain. However he did not attain to the first three.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:8 @ Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:18 @ Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: "We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you." So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:19 @ And some from Manasseh defected to David when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying, "He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads."

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:21 @ And they helped David against the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:22 @ For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:23 @ Now these were the numbers of the divisions that were equipped for war, and came to David at Hebron to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD:

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:24 @ of the sons of Judah bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred armed for war;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:25 @ of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor fit for war, seven thousand one hundred;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:37 @ of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, from the other side of the Jordan, one hundred and twenty thousand armed for battle with every kind of weapon of war.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:39 @ And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:40 @ Moreover those who were near to them, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys and camels, on mules and oxen--provisions of flour and cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, wine and oil and oxen and sheep abundantly, for there was joy in Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:3 @ and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul."

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:4 @ Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:8 @ Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:9 @ And when they came to Chidon's threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:10 @ Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:11 @ And David became angry because of the LORD's outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:2 @ So David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:8 @ Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:10 @ And David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to him, "Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand."

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:11 @ So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water." Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:14 @ Therefore David inquired again of God, and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; circle around them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And it shall be, when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:1 @ 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.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:2 @ Then David said, "No one may carry the ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever."

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

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:11 @ And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:12 @ He said to them, "You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:13 @ For because you did not do it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order."

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:23 @ Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:24 @ Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah, doorkeepers for the ark.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:1 @ So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:4 @ And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel:

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:6 @ Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:15 @ Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:17 @ And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:21 @ He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:25 @ For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:26 @ For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:27 @ Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:29 @ Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:30 @ Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:33 @ Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:34 @ Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:37 @ So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark regularly, as every day's work required;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:39 @ and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place that was at Gibeon,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:41 @ and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endures forever;

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:2 @ Then Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you."

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:7 @ Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, "Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:14 @ And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.""'

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:16 @ Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: "Who am I, O LORD God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:18 @ What more can David say to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:19 @ O LORD, for Your servant's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people--to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt?

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:22 @ For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, LORD, have become their God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:24 @ So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, "The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:27 @ Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O LORD, and it shall be blessed forever."

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:4 @ David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:10 @ he sent Hadoram his son to King David, to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou); and Hadoram brought with him all kinds of articles of gold, silver, and bronze.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:2 @ Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:3 @ And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:4 @ Therefore Hanun took David's servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:6 @ When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Syrian Maacah, and from Zobah.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the people of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:9 @ Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array before the gate of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:10 @ When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel's best, and put them in battle array against the Syrians.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:12 @ Then he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:13 @ Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight."

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:14 @ So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:15 @ When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai his brother, and entered the city. So Joab went to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:16 @ Now when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought the Syrians who were beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of Hadadezer's army went before them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:18 @ Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians, and killed Shophach the commander of the army.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:1 @ It happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:7 @ And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:8 @ So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:10 @ "Go and tell David, saying, "Thus says the LORD: "I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you.""'

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:25 @ So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:29 @ For the tabernacle of the LORD and the altar of the burnt offering, which Moses had made in the wilderness, were at that time at the high place in Gibeon.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:30 @ But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:5 @ Now David said, "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it." So David made abundant preparations before his death.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:5 @ And of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:10 @ Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it."

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:17 @ also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls--he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl;

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:20 @ And David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God--my God--will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:21 @ Here are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and every willing craftsman will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for every kind of service; also the leaders and all the people will be completely at your command."

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:1 @ Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: "My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is young and inexperienced; and the work is great, because the temple is not for man but for the LORD God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:2 @ Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might: gold for things to be made of gold, silver for things of silver, bronze for things of bronze, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood, onyx stones, stones to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:3 @ Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver:

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:5 @ the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be done by the hands of craftsmen. Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:7 @ They gave for the work of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:9 @ Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:10 @ Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said: "Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:11 @ Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:13 @ "Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:14 @ But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:15 @ For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, As were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, And without hope.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:16 @ "O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:17 @ I know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:18 @ O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:19 @ And give my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the temple for which I have made provision."

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:20 @ Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." So all the assembly blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:21 @ And they made sacrifices to the LORD and offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:22 @ So they ate and drank before the LORD with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before the LORD to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:25 @ So the LORD exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:27 @ And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:3 @ Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for the tabernacle of meeting with God was there, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:4 @ But David had brought up the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim to the place David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:5 @ Now the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD; Solomon and the assembly sought Him there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:6 @ And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:9 @ Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to David my father be established, for You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:10 @ Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:11 @ Then God said to Solomon: "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life--but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king--

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:12 @ wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like."

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:13 @ So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tabernacle of meeting, and reigned over Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:17 @ They also acquired and imported from Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty; thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:1 @ Then Solomon determined to build a temple for the name of the LORD, and a royal house for himself.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:4 @ Behold, I am building a temple for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to Him, to burn before Him sweet incense, for the continual showbread, for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:5 @ And the temple which I build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:6 @ But who is able to build Him a temple, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a temple, except to burn sacrifice before Him?

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:7 @ Therefore send me at once a man skillful to work in gold and silver, in bronze and iron, in purple and crimson and blue, who has skill to engrave with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:8 @ Also send me cedar and cypress and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and indeed my servants will be with your servants,

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:9 @ to prepare timber for me in abundance, for the temple which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:12 @ Hiram also said: 4 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, for He has given King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal house for himself!

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:3 @ This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:6 @ And he decorated the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:17 @ Then he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left; he called the name of the one on the right hand Jachin, and the name of the one on the left Boaz.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He also made ten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:9 @ Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court and doors for the court; and he overlaid these doors with bronze.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:11 @ Then Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God:

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:13 @ four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the pillars);

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:16 @ also the pots, the shovels, the forks--and all their articles Huram his master craftsman made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:19 @ Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was the showbread;

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:22 @ the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:1 @ So all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:3 @ Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:6 @ Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:8 @ For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim overshadowed the ark and its poles.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:11 @ And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions),

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:13 @ indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever," that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:14 @ so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:2 @ I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:7 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:8 @ But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:9 @ Nevertheless you shall not build the temple, but your son who will come from your body, he shall build the temple for My name.'

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:10 @ So the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke, and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised; and I have built the temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:12 @ Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:13 @ (for 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 down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven);

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:5 @ He built Upper Beth Horon and Lower Beth Horon, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:8 @ that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel did not destroy--from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:9 @ But Solomon did not make the children of Israel servants for his work. Some were men of war, captains of his officers, captains of his chariots, and his cavalry.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:11 @ Now Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy."

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:12 @ Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD which he had built before the vestibule,

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:13 @ according to the daily rate, offering according to the commandment of Moses, for the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the three appointed yearly feasts--the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:14 @ And, according to the order of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:2 @ So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for Solomon that he could not explain it to her.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:7 @ Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:11 @ And the king made walkways of the algum wood for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers; and there were none such as these seen before in the land of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:16 @ He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:19 @ Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:20 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:21 @ For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:25 @ Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:30 @ Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:3 @ Then they sent for him and called him. And Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:4 @ "Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:6 @ Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, saying, "How do you advise me to answer these people?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to these people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:8 @ But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from God, that the LORD might fulfill His word, which He had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was in charge of revenue; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:4 @ "Thus says the LORD: "You shall not go up or fight against your brethren! Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from Me."

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:5 @ So Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah.

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

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:11 @ And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, oil, and wine.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:15 @ Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made.

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

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:18 @ Then Rehoboam took for himself as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliah the son of Jesse.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:21 @ Now Rehoboam loved Maachah the granddaughter of Absalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:22 @ And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maachah as chief, to be leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:23 @ He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. He also sought many wives for them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel along with him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD: "You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak."'

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

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:13 @ Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:3 @ Abijah set the battle in order with an army of valiant warriors, four hundred thousand choice men. Jeroboam also drew up in battle formation against him with eight hundred thousand choice men, mighty men of valor.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:5 @ Should you not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever, to him and his sons, by a covenant of salt?

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:8 @ And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and with you are the gold calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:9 @ Have you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests, like the peoples of other lands, so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of things that are not gods?

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests who minister to the LORD are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:11 @ And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense; they also set the showbread in order on the pure gold table, and the lampstand of gold with its lamps to burn every evening; for we keep the command of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:12 @ Now look, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:15 @ Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

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

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abijah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:3 @ for he removed the altars of the foreign gods and the high places, and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the wooden images.

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

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:7 @ Therefore he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:11 @ And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, "LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:13 @ And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So the Ethiopians were overthrown, and they could not recover, for they were broken before the LORD and His army. And they carried away very much spoil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:14 @ Then they defeated all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the LORD came upon them; and they plundered all the cities, for there was exceedingly much spoil in them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:2 @ And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:3 @ For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law;

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:6 @ So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:7 @ But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:8 @ And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the LORD that was before the vestibule of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:9 @ Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:14 @ Then they took an oath before the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams' horns.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest all around.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:7 @ And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: "Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:9 @ For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars."

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:10 @ Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:13 @ So Asa rested with his fathers; he died in the forty-first year of his reign.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:14 @ They buried him in his own tomb, which he had made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made a very great burning for him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:2 @ And he placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:3 @ Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:5 @ Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:12 @ So Jehoshaphat became increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:18 @ and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand prepared for war.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:19 @ These served the king, besides those the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:2 @ After some years he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria; and Ahab killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people who were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:4 @ Also Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire for the word of the LORD today."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:5 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" So they said, "Go up, for God will deliver it into the king's hand."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:9 @ The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, clothed in their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:10 @ Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, "Thus says the LORD: "With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:11 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the king's hand."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:12 @ Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Therefore please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:18 @ Then Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right hand and His left.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:20 @ Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD, and said, "I will persuade him.' The LORD said to him, "In what way?'

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:22 @ Therefore look! The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has declared disaster against you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:31 @ So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they surrounded him to attack; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him, and God diverted them from him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:32 @ For so it was, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:33 @ Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded."

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:2 @ And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Therefore the wrath of the LORD is upon you.

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:5 @ Then he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:6 @ and said to the judges, "Take heed to what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:7 @ Now therefore, let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take care and do it, for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes."

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:8 @ Moreover in Jerusalem, for the judgment of the LORD and for controversies, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the chief fathers of Israel, when they returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:11 @ And take notice: Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters; also the Levites will be officials before you. Behave courageously, and the LORD will be with the good."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:5 @ Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:7 @ Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:8 @ And they dwell in it, and have built You a sanctuary in it for Your name, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:9 @ "If disaster comes upon us--sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine--we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.'

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:12 @ O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:13 @ Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, stood before the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:15 @ And he said, "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: "Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:16 @ Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:17 @ You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:18 @ And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:21 @ And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the LORD, For His mercy endures forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:23 @ For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:25 @ When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:26 @ And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed the LORD; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:27 @ Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:30 @ Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:33 @ Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:3 @ Their father gave them great gifts of silver and gold and precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:6 @ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of Ahab as a wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:7 @ Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:10 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:19 @ Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:1 @ Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the Arabians into the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:3 @ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do wickedly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:4 @ Therefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:7 @ His going to Joram was God's occasion for Ahaziah's downfall; for when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, "because," they said, "he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:11 @ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were being murdered, and put him and his nurse in a 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 did not kill him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:12 @ And he was hidden with them in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:6 @ But let no one come into the house of the LORD except the priests and those of the Levites who serve. They may go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:8 @ So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed the divisions.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:14 @ And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Take her outside under guard, and slay with the sword whoever follows her." For the priest had said, "Do not kill her in the house of the LORD."

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:17 @ And all the people went to the temple of Baal, and tore it down. They broke in pieces its altars and images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:21 @ So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:1 @ Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:3 @ And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he had sons and daughters.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:6 @ So the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD and of the assembly of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:7 @ For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had also presented all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD to the Baals.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:13 @ So the workmen labored, and the work was completed by them; they restored the house of God to its original condition and reinforced it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:14 @ When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; they made from it articles for the house of the LORD, articles for serving and offering, spoons and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:18 @ Therefore they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served wooden images and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:20 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God: "Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He also has forsaken you."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:24 @ For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; but the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:25 @ And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed 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.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:3 @ Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:4 @ However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:6 @ He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:13 @ But as for the soldiers of the army which Amaziah had discharged, so that they would not go with him to battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and took much spoil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:14 @ Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:15 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was aroused against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, "Why have you sought the gods of the people, which could not rescue their own people from your hand?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:9 @ And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress of the wall; then he fortified them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:10 @ Also he built towers in the desert. He dug many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains; he also had farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel, for he loved the soil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:14 @ Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:15 @ And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:18 @ And they withstood King Uzziah, 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.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:4 @ Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:6 @ So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:2 @ For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made molded images for the Baals.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:3 @ He burned incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria.

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

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:9 @ But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: "Look, because the LORD God of your fathers was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand; but you have killed them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:14 @ So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:17 @ For again the Edomites had come, attacked Judah, and carried away captives.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:19 @ For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had encouraged moral decline in Judah and had been continually unfaithful to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz took part of the treasures from the house of the LORD, from the house of the king, and from the leaders, and he gave it to the king of Assyria; but he did not help him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, saying, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:3 @ The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:4 @ Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute support for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:16 @ Besides those males from three years old and up who were written in the genealogy, they distributed to everyone who entered the house of the LORD his daily portion for the work of his service, by his division,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah did not repay according to the favor shown him, for his heart was lifted up; therefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:26 @ Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:27 @ Hezekiah had very great riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of desirable items;

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:28 @ storehouses for the harvest of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and folds for flocks.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:29 @ Moreover he provided cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much property.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:2 @ But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and made wooden images; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:4 @ He also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem shall My name be forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:5 @ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:7 @ He even set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:9 @ So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:12 @ Now when he was in affliction, he implored the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:14 @ After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it enclosed Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. Then he put military captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:15 @ He took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem; and he cast them out of the city.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:22 @ But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:10 @ Then they put it in the hand of the foremen who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they gave it to the workmen who worked in the house of the LORD, to repair and restore the house.

nkjv@Esther:1:4 @ when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty for many days, one hundred and eighty days in all.

nkjv@Esther:1:5 @ And when these days were completed, the king made a feast lasting seven days for all the people who were present in Shushan the citadel, from great to small, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.

nkjv@Esther:1:8 @ In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had ordered all the officers of his household, that they should do according to each man's pleasure.

nkjv@Esther:1:9 @ Queen Vashti also made a feast for the women in the royal palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:1:11 @ to bring Queen Vashti before the king, wearing her royal crown, in order to show her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful to behold.

nkjv@Esther:1:12 @ But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command brought by his eunuchs; therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.

nkjv@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times (for this was the king's manner toward all who knew law and justice,

nkjv@Esther:1:16 @ And Memucan answered before the king and the princes: "Queen Vashti has not only wronged the king, but also all the princes, and all the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:1:17 @ For the queen's behavior will become known to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when they report, "King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him, but she did not come.'

nkjv@Esther:1:19 @ If it pleases the king, let a royal decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it will not be altered, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.

nkjv@Esther:1:20 @ When the king's decree which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire (for it is great), all wives will honor their husbands, both great and small."

nkjv@Esther:2:2 @ Then the king's servants who attended him said: "Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king;

nkjv@Esther:2:7 @ And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.

nkjv@Esther:2:9 @ Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king's palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.

nkjv@Esther:2:10 @ Esther had not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal it.

nkjv@Esther:2:12 @ Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months' preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.

nkjv@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who kept the concubines. She would not go in to the king again unless the king delighted in her and called for her by name.

nkjv@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her.

nkjv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.

nkjv@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not revealed her family and her people, just as Mordecai had charged her, for Esther obeyed the command of Mordecai as when she was brought up by him.

nkjv@Esther:2:22 @ So the matter became known to Mordecai, who told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.

nkjv@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king's servants who were within the king's gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.

nkjv@Esther:3:4 @ Now it happened, when they spoke to him daily and he would not listen to them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether Mordecai's words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew.

nkjv@Esther:3:6 @ But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus--the people of Mordecai.

nkjv@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

nkjv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people's, and they do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.

nkjv@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as law in every province, being published for all people, that they should be ready for that day.

nkjv@Esther:4:2 @ He went as far as the front of the king's gate, for no one might enter the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

nkjv@Esther:4:8 @ He also gave him a copy of the written decree for their destruction, which was given at Shushan, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her, and that he might command her to go in to the king to make supplication to him and plead before him for her people.

nkjv@Esther:4:10 @ Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a command for Mordecai:

nkjv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

nkjv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!"

nkjv@Esther:5:4 @ So Esther answered, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

nkjv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

nkjv@Esther:5:9 @ So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai.

nkjv@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

nkjv@Esther:6:1 @ That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

nkjv@Esther:6:3 @ Then the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" And the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

nkjv@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 to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

nkjv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king asked him, "What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought in his heart, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

nkjv@Esther:6:7 @ And Haman answered the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,

nkjv@Esther:6:9 @ Then let this robe and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honor. Then parade him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him: "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!'

nkjv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king's gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken."

nkjv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!"

nkjv@Esther:6:13 @ When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him."

nkjv@Esther:7:4 @ For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king's loss."

nkjv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!" So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.

nkjv@Esther:7:7 @ Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

nkjv@Esther:7:9 @ Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, "Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king's behalf, is standing at the house of Haman." Then the king said, "Hang him on it!"

nkjv@Esther:7:10 @ So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath subsided.

nkjv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her.

nkjv@Esther:8:4 @ And the king held out the golden scepter toward Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king,

nkjv@Esther:8:6 @ For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?"

nkjv@Esther:8:8 @ You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as you please, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for whatever is written in the king's name and sealed with the king's signet ring no one can revoke."

nkjv@Esther:8:11 @ By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives--to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions,

nkjv@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

nkjv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king's command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.

nkjv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king's palace, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai became increasingly prominent.

nkjv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages who dwelt in the unwalled towns celebrated the fourteenth day of the month of Adar with gladness and feasting, as a holiday, and for sending presents to one another.

nkjv@Esther:9:22 @ as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month which was turned from sorrow to joy for them, and from mourning to a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor.

nkjv@Esther:9:25 @ but when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that this wicked plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

nkjv@Esther:9:26 @ So they called these days Purim, after the name Pur. Therefore, because of all the words of this letter, what they had seen concerning this matter, and what had happened to them,

nkjv@Esther:9:31 @ to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had prescribed for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and their descendants concerning matters of their fasting and lamenting.

nkjv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

nkjv@Job:1:5 @ So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did regularly.

nkjv@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.

nkjv@Job:1:7 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:1:9 @ So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?

nkjv@Job:1:17 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

nkjv@Job:2:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:2:4 @ So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

nkjv@Job:2:8 @ And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

nkjv@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place--Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.

nkjv@Job:2:13 @ So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

nkjv@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months.

nkjv@Job:3:9 @ May the stars of its morning be dark; May it look for light, but have none, And not see the dawning of the day;

nkjv@Job:3:13 @ For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest

nkjv@Job:3:14 @ With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves,

nkjv@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, but it does not come, And search for it more than hidden treasures;

nkjv@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing comes before I eat, And my groanings pour out like water.

nkjv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.

nkjv@Job:3:26 @ I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes."

nkjv@Job:4:11 @ The old lion perishes for lack of prey, And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

nkjv@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair on my body stood up.

nkjv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, But I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; There was silence; Then I heard a voice saying:

nkjv@Job:4:19 @ How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before a moth?

nkjv@Job:4:20 @ They are broken in pieces from morning till evening; They perish forever, with no one regarding.

nkjv@Job:5:2 @ For wrath kills a foolish man, And envy slays a simple one.

nkjv@Job:5:6 @ For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground;

nkjv@Job:5:8 @ "But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause--

nkjv@Job:21:19 @ They say, "God lays up one's iniquity for his children'; Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.

nkjv@Job:21:21 @ For what does he care about his household after him, When the number of his months is cut in half?

nkjv@Job:21:28 @ For you say, "Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent, The dwelling place of the wicked?'

nkjv@Job:21:30 @ For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom; They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.

nkjv@Job:21:33 @ The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him; Everyone shall follow him, As countless have gone before him.

nkjv@Job:21:34 @ How then can you comfort me with empty words, Since falsehood remains in your answers?"

nkjv@Job:22:6 @ For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason, And stripped the naked of their clothing.

nkjv@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares are all around you, And sudden fear troubles you,

nkjv@Job:22:28 @ You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.

nkjv@Job:23:4 @ I would present my case before Him, And fill my mouth with arguments.

nkjv@Job:23:7 @ There the upright could reason with Him, And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

nkjv@Job:23:15 @ Therefore I am terrified at His presence; When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.

nkjv@Job:23:16 @ For God made my heart weak, And the Almighty terrifies me;

nkjv@Job:24:4 @ They push the needy off the road; All the poor of the land are forced to hide.

nkjv@Job:24:5 @ Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, They go out to their work, searching for food. The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.

nkjv@Job:24:8 @ They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And huddle around the rock for want of shelter.

nkjv@Job:24:17 @ For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

nkjv@Job:24:20 @ The womb should forget him, The worm should feed sweetly on him; He should be remembered no more, And wickedness should be broken like a tree.

nkjv@Job:24:21 @ For he preys on the barren who do not bear, And does no good for the widow.

nkjv@Job:24:24 @ They are exalted for a little while, Then they are gone. They are brought low; They are taken out of the way like all others; They dry out like the heads of grain.

nkjv@Job:25:4 @ How then can man be righteous before God? Or how can he be pure who is born of a woman?

nkjv@Job:26:6 @ Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.

nkjv@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, Though he may gain much, If God takes away his life?

nkjv@Job:27:14 @ If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

nkjv@Job:28:1 @ "Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place where gold is refined.

nkjv@Job:28:18 @ No mention shall be made of coral or quartz, For the price of wisdom is above rubies.

nkjv@Job:28:24 @ For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heavens,

nkjv@Job:28:25 @ To establish a weight for the wind, And apportion the waters by measure.

nkjv@Job:28:26 @ When He made a law for the rain, And a path for the thunderbolt,

nkjv@Job:29:6 @ When my steps were bathed with cream, And the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!

nkjv@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of a perishing man came upon me, And I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

nkjv@Job:29:21 @ "Men listened to me and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.

nkjv@Job:31:3 @ Is it not destruction for the wicked, And disaster for the workers of iniquity?

nkjv@Job:31:10 @ Then let my wife grind for another, And let others bow down over her.

nkjv@Job:31:11 @ For that would be wickedness; Yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my labor; And this was my reward from all my labor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; For what can the man do who succeeds the king?-- Only what he has already done.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, But they have no comforter-- On the side of their oppressors there is power, But they have no comforter.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead, More than the living who are still alive.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better a handful with quietness Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, "For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?" This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For he comes out of prison to be king, Although he was born poor in his kingdom.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king; Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @ For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @ When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed--

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @ For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ And this also is a severe evil-- Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor--this is the gift of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil affliction.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what more has the wise man than the fool? What does the poor man have, Who knows how to walk before the living?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ Whatever one is, he has been named already, For it is known that he is man; And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it to heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter, For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise Than for a man to hear the song of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For like the crackling of thorns under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Do not say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; For who can make straight what He has made crooked?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Do not be overly wicked, Nor be foolish: Why should you die before your time?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you grasp this, And also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ As for that which is far off and exceedingly deep, Who can find it out?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ I say, "Keep the king's commandment for the sake of your oath to God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ Because for every matter there is a time and judgment, Though the misery of man increases greatly.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @ For he does not know what will happen; So who can tell him when it will occur?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God has already accepted your works.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post; For conciliation pacifies great offenses.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time-- For strength and not for drunkenness!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @ Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @ For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

nkjv@Songs:1:2 @ Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- For your love is better than wine.

nkjv@Songs:1:3 @ Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you.

nkjv@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions?

nkjv@Songs:1:12 @ While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance.

nkjv@Songs:2:5 @ Sustain me with cakes of raisins, Refresh me with apples, For I am lovesick.

nkjv@Songs:2:11 @ For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.

nkjv@Songs:2:13 @ The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grapes Give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!

nkjv@Songs:2:14 @ "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely."

nkjv@Songs:2:15 @ Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.

nkjv@Songs:3:11 @ Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart.

nkjv@Songs:4:4 @ Your neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armory, On which hang a thousand bucklers, All shields of mighty men.

nkjv@Songs:5:2 @ I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, "Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night."

nkjv@Songs:5:4 @ My beloved put his hand By the latch of the door, And my heart yearned for him.

nkjv@Songs:5:5 @ I arose to open for my beloved, And my hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with liquid myrrh, On the handles of the lock.

nkjv@Songs:5:6 @ I opened for my beloved, But my beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

nkjv@Songs:6:5 @ Turn your eyes away from me, For they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats Going down from Gilead.

nkjv@Songs:6:10 @ Who is she who looks forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners?

nkjv@Songs:6:12 @ Before I was even aware, My soul had made me As the chariots of my noble people.

nkjv@Songs:7:9 @ And the roof of your mouth like the best wine. The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved, Moving gently the lips of sleepers.

nkjv@Songs:7:11 @ Come, my beloved, Let us go forth to the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

nkjv@Songs:7:13 @ The mandrakes give off a fragrance, And at our gates are pleasant fruits, All manner, new and old, Which I have laid up for you, my beloved.

nkjv@Songs:8:5 @ Who is this coming up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother brought you forth; There she who bore you brought you forth.

nkjv@Songs:8:6 @ Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

nkjv@Songs:8:7 @ Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love All the wealth of his house, It would be utterly despised.

nkjv@Songs:8:8 @ We have a little sister, And she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister In the day when she is spoken for?

nkjv@Songs:8:11 @ Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon; He leased the vineyard to keepers; Everyone was to bring for its fruit A thousand silver coins.

nkjv@Songs:8:12 @ My own vineyard is before me. You, O Solomon, may have a thousand, And those who tend its fruit two hundred.

nkjv@Songs:8:13 @ You who dwell in the gardens, The companions listen for your voice-- Let me hear it!

nkjv@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against Me;

nkjv@Isaiah:1:4 @ Alas, sinful nation, A people laden with iniquity, A brood of evildoers, Children who are corrupters! They have forsaken the LORD, They have provoked to anger The Holy One of Israel, They have turned away backward.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:12 @ "When you come to appear before Me, Who has required this from your hand, To trample My courts?

nkjv@Isaiah:1:16 @ "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil,

nkjv@Isaiah:1:17 @ Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:23 @ Your princes are rebellious, And companions of thieves; Everyone loves bribes, And follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:24 @ Therefore the Lord says, The LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, "Ah, I will rid Myself of My adversaries, And take vengeance on My enemies.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:28 @ The destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together, And those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:29 @ For they shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees Which you have desired; And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens Which you have chosen.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:30 @ For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, And as a garden that has no water.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:3 @ Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:6 @ For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, Because they are filled with eastern ways; They are soothsayers like the Philistines, And they are pleased with the children of foreigners.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:9 @ People bow down, And each man humbles himself; Therefore do not forgive them.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:12 @ For the day of the LORD of hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up-- And it shall be brought low--

nkjv@Isaiah:2:15 @ Upon every high tower, And upon every fortified wall;

nkjv@Isaiah:2:20 @ In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver And his idols of gold, Which they made, each for himself to worship, To the moles and bats,

nkjv@Isaiah:2:22 @ Sever yourselves from such a man, Whose breath is in his nostrils; For of what account is he?

nkjv@Isaiah:3:1 @ For behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, Takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah The stock and the store, The whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water;

nkjv@Isaiah:3:7 @ In that day he will protest, saying, "I cannot cure your ills, For in my house is neither food nor clothing; Do not make me a ruler of the people."

nkjv@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem stumbled, And Judah is fallen, Because their tongue and their doings Are against the LORD, To provoke the eyes of His glory.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:9 @ The look on their countenance witnesses against them, And they declare their sin as Sodom; They do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:10 @ "Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:11 @ Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:14 @ The LORD will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: "For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:17 @ Therefore the Lord will strike with a scab The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And the LORD will uncover their secret parts."

nkjv@Isaiah:4:2 @ In that day the Branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious; And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing For those of Israel who have escaped.

nkjv@Isaiah:4:5 @ then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering.

nkjv@Isaiah:4:6 @ And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:2 @ He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; So He expected it to bring forth good grapes, But it brought forth wild grapes.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:4 @ What more could have been done to My vineyard That I have not done in it? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?

nkjv@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:10 @ For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah."

nkjv@Isaiah:5:13 @ Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:14 @ Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:20 @ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

nkjv@Isaiah:5:22 @ Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,

nkjv@Isaiah:5:23 @ Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man!

nkjv@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD is aroused against His people; He has stretched out His hand against them And stricken them, And the hills trembled. Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:5 @ So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:8 @ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:12 @ The LORD has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:13 @ But yet a tenth will be in it, And will return and be for consuming, As a terebinth tree or as an oak, Whose stump remains when it is cut down. So the holy seed shall be its stump."

nkjv@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told to the house of David, saying, "Syria's forces are deployed in Ephraim." So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:4 @ and say to him: "Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:6 @ "Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel"--

nkjv@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, And the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken, So that it will not be a people.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:11 @ "Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above."

nkjv@Isaiah:7:13 @ Then he said, "Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?

nkjv@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will whistle for the fly That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt, And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I will take for Myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:4 @ for before the child shall have knowledge to cry "My father' and "My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria."

nkjv@Isaiah:22:10 @ You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:11 @ You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:12 @ And in that day the Lord GOD of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:13 @ But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

nkjv@Isaiah:25:1 @ O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:2 @ For You have made a city a ruin, A fortified city a ruin, A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; It will never be rebuilt.

nkjv@Daniel:4:34 @ And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:36 @ At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.

nkjv@Daniel:5:1 @ Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in the presence of the thousand.

nkjv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, "O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change.

nkjv@Daniel:6:13 @ So they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is one of the captives from Judah, does not show due regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."

nkjv@Daniel:6:18 @ Now the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no musicians were brought before him. Also his sleep went from him.

nkjv@Daniel:6:23 @ Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.

nkjv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions--them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.

nkjv@Daniel:8:15 @ Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.
