nasb@Joshua:0:18" @Anyone who rebels against your command and does not obey your words in all that you command him, shall be put to death; only be strong and courageous."

nasb@Joshua:1:19" @It shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be free; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

nasb@Joshua:1:23 @Then the two men returned and came down from the hill country and crossed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and they related to him all that had happened to them.

nasb@Joshua:2:14 @On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; so that they revered him, just as they had revered Moses all the days of his life.

nasb@Joshua:3:3 @So Joshua made himself flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

nasb@Joshua:3:13 @Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?"

nasb@Joshua:3:14 @He said, "No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?"

nasb@Joshua:5:3 @They returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; only about two or three thousand men need go up to Ai; do not make all the people toil up there, for they are few."

nasb@Joshua:5:15 @' It shall be that the one who is taken with the things under the ban shall be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has committed a disgraceful thing in Israel.'"

nasb@Joshua:5:19 @Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I implore you, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and give praise to Him; and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me."

nasb@Joshua:5:24 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the mantle, the bar of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent and all that belonged to him; and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.

nasb@Joshua:5:26 @They raised over him a great heap of stones that stands to this day, and 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.

nasb@Joshua:5:11 @Then all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near and arrived in front of the city, and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:14 @It came about when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose up early and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:23 @But they took alive the king of Ai and brought him to Joshua.

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

nasb@Joshua:6:9 @They said to him, "Your servants have come from a very far country because of the fame of the LORD your God; for we have heard the report of Him and all that He did in Egypt,

nasb@Joshua:7:7 @So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him and all the valiant warriors.

nasb@Joshua:7:15 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.

nasb@Joshua:7:23 @They did so, and brought these five kings out to him from the cave- the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

nasb@Joshua:7:24 @When they brought these kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

nasb@Joshua:7:29 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Makkedah to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.

nasb@Joshua:7:31 @And Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Libnah to Lachish, and they camped by it and fought against it.

nasb@Joshua:7:33 @Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua defeated him and his people until he had left him no survivor.

nasb@Joshua:7:34 @And Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Lachish to Eglon, and they camped by it and fought against it.

nasb@Joshua:7:36 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and they fought against it.

nasb@Joshua:7:38 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to Debir, and they fought against it.

nasb@Joshua:7:43 @So Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp at Gilgal.

nasb@Joshua:8:1 @Then it came about, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon and to the king of Shimron and to the king of Achshaph,

nasb@Joshua:8:7 @So Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and attacked them.

nasb@Joshua:8:9 @Joshua did to them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

nasb@Joshua:9:3 @and the Arabah as far as the Sea of Chinneroth toward the east, and as far as the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward toward Beth-jeshimoth, and on the south, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah;

nasb@Joshua:9:20 @the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;

nasb@Joshua:9:13 @Now Joshua was old and advanced in years when the LORD said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.

nasb@Joshua:9:14 @Only to the tribe of Levi he did not give an inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He spoke to him.

nasb@Joshua:9:20 @and Beth-peor and the slopes of Pisgah and Beth-jeshimoth,

nasb@Joshua:10:6 @Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know the word which the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea.

nasb@Joshua:10:7" @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 word back to him as it was in my heart.

nasb@Joshua:10:13 @So Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.

nasb@Joshua:11:14 @Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak- Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak.

nasb@Joshua:11:16 @And Caleb said, "The one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife."

nasb@Joshua:11:17 @Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife.

nasb@Joshua:11:18 @It came about that when she came to him, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"

nasb@Joshua:11:32 @and Lebaoth and Shilhim and Ain and Rimmon; in all, twenty-nine cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:15 @Included also were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:50 @In accordance with the command of the LORD they gave him the city for which he asked, Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim. So he built the city and settled in it.

nasb@Joshua:15:4 @'He shall flee to one of these cities, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city and state his case in the hearing of the elders of that city; and they shall take him into the city to them and give him a place, so that he may dwell among them.

nasb@Joshua:15:5 @'Now if the avenger of blood pursues him, then they shall not deliver the manslayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor without premeditation and did not hate him beforehand.

nasb@Joshua:17:5" @Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

nasb@Joshua:17:14 @and with him ten chiefs, one chief for each father's household from each of the tribes of Israel; and each one of them was the head of his father's household among the thousands of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:17:23" @If we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD, or if to offer a burnt offering or grain offering on it, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings on it, may the LORD Himself require it.

nasb@Joshua:17:27 @rather it shall be a witness between us and you and between our generations after us, that we are to perform the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your sons will not say to our sons in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'

nasb@Joshua:17:30 @So when Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the congregation, even the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.

nasb@Joshua:19:3 @'Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.

nasb@Joshua:19:14" @Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:19:22 @Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves the LORD, to serve Him." And they said, "We are witnesses."

nasb@Joshua:19:30 @And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash.

nasb@Joshua:19:33 @And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him at Gibeah of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:1:3 @Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I in turn will go with you into the territory allotted you." So Simeon went with him.

nasb@Judges:1:5 @They found Adoni-bezek in Bezek and fought against him, and they defeated the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

nasb@Judges:1:6 @But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

nasb@Judges:1:7 @Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to gather up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." So they brought him to Jerusalem and he died there.

nasb@Judges:1:10 @So Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba); and they struck Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.

nasb@Judges:1:12 @And Caleb said, "The one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will even give him my daughter Achsah for a wife."

nasb@Judges:1:13 @Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, captured it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for a wife.

nasb@Judges:1:14 @Then it came about when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. Then she alighted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"

nasb@Judges:1:15 @She said to him, "Give me a blessing, since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

nasb@Judges:1:24 @The spies saw a man coming out of the city and they said to him, "Please show us the entrance to the city and we will treat you kindly."

nasb@Judges:2:1 @Now the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, " I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, ' I will never break My covenant with you,

nasb@Judges:2:5 @So they named that place Bochim; and there they sacrificed to the LORD.

nasb@Judges:2:9 @And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

nasb@Judges:3:10 @The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. When he went out to war, the LORD gave Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand, so that he prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim.

nasb@Judges:3:13 @And he gathered to himself the sons of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and defeated Israel, and they possessed the city of the palm trees.

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

nasb@Judges:3:16 @Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length, and he bound it on his right thigh under his cloak.

nasb@Judges:3:19 @But he himself turned back from the idols which were at Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he said, "Keep silence." And all who attended him left him.

nasb@Judges:3:20 @Ehud came to him while he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat.

nasb@Judges:3:23 @Then Ehud went out into the vestibule and shut the doors of the roof chamber behind him, and locked them.

nasb@Judges:3:24 @When he had gone out, his servants came and looked, and behold, the doors of the roof chamber were locked; and they said, " He is only relieving himself in the cool room."

nasb@Judges:3:27 @It came about when he had arrived, that he blew the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he was in front of them.

nasb@Judges:3:28 @He said to them, "Pursue them, for the LORD has given your enemies the Moabites into your hands." So they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan opposite Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross.

nasb@Judges:3:31 @After him came Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad; and he also saved Israel.

nasb@Judges:4:6 @Now she sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, "Behold, the LORD, the God of Israel, has commanded, 'Go and march to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.

nasb@Judges:4:7 @'I will draw out to you Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his many troops to the river Kishon, and I will give him into your hand.'"

nasb@Judges:4:10 @Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh, and ten thousand men went up with him; Deborah also went up with him.

nasb@Judges:4:11 @Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.

nasb@Judges:4:13 @Sisera called together all his chariots, nine hundred iron chariots, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the river Kishon.

nasb@Judges:4:14 @Deborah said to Barak, "Arise! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sisera into your hands; behold, the LORD has gone out before you." So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

nasb@Judges:4:18 @Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me! Do not be afraid." And he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

nasb@Judges:4:19 @He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a bottle of milk and gave him a drink; then she covered him.

nasb@Judges:4:21 @But Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and seized a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went through into the ground; for he was sound asleep and exhausted. So he died.

nasb@Judges:4:22 @And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking." And he entered with her, and behold Sisera was lying dead with the tent peg in his temple.

nasb@Judges:4:25" @He asked for water and she gave him milk; In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.

nasb@Judges:4:31" @ Thus let all Your enemies perish, O LORD; But let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might." And the land was undisturbed for forty years.

nasb@Judges:5:12 @The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior."

nasb@Judges:5:13 @Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, 'Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian."

nasb@Judges:5:14 @The LORD looked at him and said, " Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?"

nasb@Judges:5:15 @He said to Him, "O Lord, how shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the least in Manasseh, and I am the youngest in my father's house."

nasb@Judges:5:16 @But the LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat Midian as one man."

nasb@Judges:5:17 @So Gideon said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who speak with me.

nasb@Judges:5:19 @Then Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour; he put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them out to him under the oak and presented them.

nasb@Judges:5:20 @The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And he did so.

nasb@Judges:5:23 @The LORD said to him, "Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die."

nasb@Judges:5:25 @Now on the same night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;

nasb@Judges:5:27 @Then Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the LORD had spoken to him; and because he was too afraid of his father's household and the men of the city to do it by day, he did it by night.

nasb@Judges:5:31 @But Joash said to all who stood against him, "Will you contend for Baal, or will you deliver him? Whoever will plead for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has torn down his altar."

nasb@Judges:5:32 @Therefore on that day he named him Jerubbaal, that is to say, "Let Baal contend against him," because he had torn down his altar.

nasb@Judges:5:34 @So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon; and he blew a trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called together to follow him.

nasb@Judges:5:35 @He sent messengers throughout Manasseh, and they also were called together to follow him; and he sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they came up to meet them.

nasb@Judges:6:1 @Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him, rose early and camped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

nasb@Judges:6:3" @Now therefore come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ' Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.'" So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained.

nasb@Judges:6:8 @So the 300 men took the people's provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

nasb@Judges:6:9 @Now the same night it came about that the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands.

nasb@Judges:6:19 @So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands.

nasb@Judges:7:1 @Then the men of Ephraim said to him, " What is this thing you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight against Midian?" And they contended with him vigorously.

nasb@Judges:7:3" @God has given the leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb into your hands; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger toward him subsided when he said that.

nasb@Judges:7:4 @Then Gideon and the 300 men who were with him came to the Jordan and crossed over, weary yet pursuing.

nasb@Judges:7:8 @He went up from there to Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered.

nasb@Judges:7:14 @And he captured a youth from Succoth and questioned him. Then the youth wrote down for him the princes of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven men.

nasb@Judges:7:31 @His concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:4 @They gave him seventy pieces of silver from the house of Baal-berith with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless fellows, and they followed him.

nasb@Judges:7:5 @Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself.

nasb@Judges:7:16" @Now therefore, if you have dealt in truth and integrity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have dealt with him as he deserved--

nasb@Judges:7:19 @if then you have dealt in truth and integrity with Jerubbaal and his house this day, rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.

nasb@Judges:7:25 @The men of Shechem set men in ambush against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who might pass by them along the road; and it was told to Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:26 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.

nasb@Judges:7:28 @Then Gaal the son of Ebed said, "Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is Zebul not his lieutenant? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

nasb@Judges:7:33" @In the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and rush upon the city; and behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you shall do to them whatever you can."

nasb@Judges:7:34 @So Abimelech and all the people who were with him arose by night and lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.

nasb@Judges:7:35 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the city gate; and Abimelech and the people who were with him arose from the ambush.

nasb@Judges:7:36 @When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains." But Zebul said to him, "You are seeing the shadow of the mountains as if they were men."

nasb@Judges:7:38 @Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your boasting now with which you said, 'Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?' Is this not the people whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them!"

nasb@Judges:7:40 @Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.

nasb@Judges:7:44 @Then Abimelech and the company who was with him dashed forward and stood in the entrance of the city gate; the other two companies then dashed against all who were in the field and slew them.

nasb@Judges:7:48 @So Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and cut down a branch from the trees, and lifted it and laid it on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who were with him, "What you have seen me do, hurry and do likewise."

nasb@Judges:7:54 @Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that it will not be said of me, 'A woman slew him.'" So the young man pierced him through, and he died.

nasb@Judges:8:3 @After him, Jair the Gileadite arose and judged Israel twenty-two years.

nasb@Judges:8:6 @Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

nasb@Judges:9:2 @Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman."

nasb@Judges:9:3 @So Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob; and worthless fellows gathered themselves about Jephthah, and they went out with him.

nasb@Judges:9:11 @Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD at Mizpah.

nasb@Judges:9:15 @and they said to him, "Thus says Jephthah, 'Israel did not take away the land of Moab nor the land of the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Judges:9:19 @'And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, "Please let us pass through your land to our place."

nasb@Judges:9:28 @But the king of the sons of Ammon disregarded the message which Jephthah sent him.

nasb@Judges:9:34 @When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, behold, his daughter was coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing. Now she was his one and only child; besides her he had no son or daughter.

nasb@Judges:9:36 @So she said to him, "My father, you have given your word to the LORD; do to me as you have said, since the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the sons of Ammon."

nasb@Judges:10:5 @The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Ephraim. And it happened when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No,"

nasb@Judges:10:6 @then they would say to him, "Say now, 'Shibboleth.'" But he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:10:8 @Now Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel after him.

nasb@Judges:10:11 @Now Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel after him; and he judged Israel ten years.

nasb@Judges:10:13 @Now Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel after him.

nasb@Judges:11:6 @Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, " A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.

nasb@Judges:11:11 @Then Manoah arose and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" And he said, "I am."

nasb@Judges:11:18 @But the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"

nasb@Judges:11:23 @But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have let us hear things like this at this time."

nasb@Judges:11:24 @Then the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson; and the child grew up and the LORD blessed him.

nasb@Judges:11:25 @And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

nasb@Judges:12:3 @Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she looks good to me."

nasb@Judges:12:5 @Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.

nasb@Judges:12:6 @The Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, so that he tore him as one tears a young goat though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

nasb@Judges:12:11 @When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.

nasb@Judges:12:13" @But if you are unable to tell me, then you shall give me thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes." And they said to him, "Propound your riddle, that we may hear it."

nasb@Judges:12:16 @Samson's wife wept before him and said, " You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?"

nasb@Judges:12:17 @However she wept before him seven days while their feast lasted. And on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. She then told the riddle to the sons of her people.

nasb@Judges:12:18 @So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have found out my riddle."

nasb@Judges:12:19 @Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of them and took their spoil and gave the changes of clothes to those who told the riddle. And his anger burned, and he went up to his father's house.

nasb@Judges:13:1 @But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat, and said, "I will go in to my wife in her room." But her father did not let him enter.

nasb@Judges:13:10 @The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" And they said, "We have come up to bind Samson in order to do to him as he did to us."

nasb@Judges:13:12 @They said to him, "We have come down to bind you so that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me."

nasb@Judges:13:13 @So they said to him, "No, but we will bind you fast and give you into their hands; yet surely we will not kill you." Then they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.

nasb@Judges:13:14 @When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds dropped from his hands.

nasb@Judges:14:2 @When it was told to the Gazites, saying, "Samson has come here," they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. And they kept silent all night, saying, "Let us wait until the morning light, then we will kill him."

nasb@Judges:14:5 @The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, " Entice him, and see where his great strength lies and how we may overpower him that we may bind him to afflict him. Then we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."

nasb@Judges:14:8 @Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh cords that had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

nasb@Judges:14:9 @Now she had men lying in wait in an inner room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the cords as a string of tow snaps when it touches fire. So his strength was not discovered.

nasb@Judges:14:12 @So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" For the men were lying in wait in the inner room. But he snapped the ropes from his arms like a thread.

nasb@Judges:14:14 @So while he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his hair and wove them into the web]. And she fastened it with the pin and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.

nasb@Judges:14:15 @Then she said to him, " How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have deceived me these three times and have not told me where your great strength is."

nasb@Judges:14:16 @It came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death.

nasb@Judges:14:19 @She made him sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his hair. Then she began to afflict him, and his strength left him.

nasb@Judges:14:20 @She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep and said, "I will go out as at other times and shake myself free." But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.

nasb@Judges:14:21 @Then the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze chains, and he was a grinder in the prison.

nasb@Judges:14:24 @When the people saw him, they praised their god, for they said, "Our god has given our enemy into our hands, Even the destroyer of our country, Who has slain many of us."

nasb@Judges:14:25 @It so happened when they were in high spirits, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may amuse us." So they called for Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars.

nasb@Judges:14:29 @Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and braced himself against them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left.

nasb@Judges:14:31 @Then his brothers and all his father's household came down, took him, brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. Thus he had judged Israel twenty years.

nasb@Judges:15:9 @Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" And he said to him, "I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to stay wherever I may find a place."

nasb@Judges:15:10 @Micah then said to him, "Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your maintenance." So the Levite went in.

nasb@Judges:15:11 @The Levite agreed to live with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.

nasb@Judges:16:3 @When they were near the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young man, the Levite; and they turned aside there and said to him, "Who brought you here? And what are you doing in this place? And what do you have here?"

nasb@Judges:16:5 @They said to him, "Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether our way on which we are going will be prosperous."

nasb@Judges:16:15 @They turned aside there and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, to the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.

nasb@Judges:16:19 @They said to him, "Be silent, put your hand over your mouth and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"

nasb@Judges:16:25 @The sons of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or else fierce men will fall upon you and you will lose your life, with the lives of your household."

nasb@Judges:16:26 @So the sons of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

nasb@Judges:16:27 @Then they took what Micah had made and the priest who had belonged to him, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burned the city with fire.

nasb@Judges:17:1 @Now it came about in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, who took a concubine for himself from Bethlehem in Judah.

nasb@Judges:17:2 @But his concubine played the harlot against him, and she went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem in Judah, and was there for a period of four months.

nasb@Judges:17:3 @Then her husband arose and went after her to speak tenderly to her in order to bring her back, taking with him his servant and a pair of donkeys. So she brought him into her father's house, and when the girl's father saw him, he was glad to meet him.

nasb@Judges:17:4 @His father-in-law, the girl's father, detained him; and he remained with him three days. So they ate and drank and lodged there.

nasb@Judges:17:7 @Then the man arose to go, but his father-in-law urged him so that he spent the night there again.

nasb@Judges:17:9 @When the man arose to go along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, "Behold now, the day has drawn to a close; please spend the night. Lo, the day is coming to an end; spend the night here that your heart may be merry. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey so that you may go home."

nasb@Judges:17:10 @But the man was not willing to spend the night, so he arose and departed and came to a place opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a pair of saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him.

nasb@Judges:17:12 @However, his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; but we will go on as far as Gibeah."

nasb@Judges:17:18 @He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, for I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. But I am now going to my house, and no man will take me into his house.

nasb@Judges:17:21 @So he took him into his house and gave the donkeys fodder, and they washed their feet and ate and drank.

nasb@Judges:17:22 @While they were celebrating, behold, the men of the city, certain worthless fellows, surrounded the house, pounding the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house that we may have relations with him."

nasb@Judges:17:25 @But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn.

nasb@Judges:18:23 @The sons of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall we again draw near for battle against the sons of my brother Benjamin?" And the LORD said, "Go up against him."

nasb@Judges:19:5 @Then the sons of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up in the assembly to the LORD?" For they had taken a great oath concerning him who did not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nasb@Judges:19:12 @And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead 400 young virgins who had not known a man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

nasb@Ruth:3:17 @The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Naomi!" So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

nasb@1Samuel:1:1 @Now there was a certain man from Ramathaim-zophim from the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

nasb@1Samuel:1:17 @Then Eli answered and said, " Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him."

nasb@1Samuel:1:20 @It came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, " Because I have asked him of the LORD."

nasb@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD and stay there forever."

nasb@1Samuel:1:23 @Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the LORD confirm His word." So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.

nasb@1Samuel:1:24 @Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh, although the child was young.

nasb@1Samuel:2:14 @Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. Thus they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

nasb@1Samuel:2:16 @If the man said to him, "They must surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as you desire," then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."

nasb@1Samuel:2:25" @If one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death.

nasb@1Samuel:2:27 @Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, ' Did I not indeed reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?

nasb@1Samuel:13:11 @And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the children?" And he said, " There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here."

nasb@1Samuel:13:12 @So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, " Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

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

nasb@1Samuel:13:14 @Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrorized him.

nasb@1Samuel:13:15 @Saul's servants then said to him, "Behold now, an evil spirit from God is terrorizing you.

nasb@1Samuel:13:17 @So Saul said to his servants, "Provide for me now a man who can play well and bring him to me."

nasb@1Samuel:13:18 @Then one of the young men said, "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, a mighty man of valor, a warrior, one prudent in speech, and a handsome man; and the LORD is with him."

nasb@1Samuel:13:21 @Then David came to Saul and attended him; and Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor bearer.

nasb@1Samuel:13:23 @So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:7 @The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; his shield-carrier also walked before him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:8 @He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, "Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

nasb@1Samuel:14:9" @ If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us."

nasb@1Samuel:14:13 @The three older sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

nasb@1Samuel:14:20 @So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took the supplies and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the circle of the camp while the army was going out in battle array shouting the war cry.

nasb@1Samuel:14:24 @When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were greatly afraid.

nasb@1Samuel:14:25 @The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who is coming up? Surely he is coming up to defy Israel. And it will be that the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:14:26 @Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, "What will 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 taunt the armies of the living God?"

nasb@1Samuel:14:27 @The people answered him in accord with this word, saying, " Thus it will be done for the man who kills him."

nasb@1Samuel:14:30 @Then he turned away from him to another and said the same thing; and the people answered the same thing as before.

nasb@1Samuel:14:31 @When the words which David spoke were heard, they told them to Saul, and he sent for him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:32 @David said to Saul, " Let no man's heart fail on account of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."

nasb@1Samuel:14:33 @Then Saul said to David, " You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while he has been a warrior from his youth."

nasb@1Samuel:14:35 @I went out after him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:38 @Then Saul clothed David with his garments and put a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with armor.

nasb@1Samuel:14:40 @He took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.

nasb@1Samuel:14:41 @Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:42 @When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.

nasb@1Samuel:14:50 @Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David's hand.

nasb@1Samuel:14:51 @Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

nasb@1Samuel:14:57 @So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine's head in his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:14:58 @Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young manNULL" And David answered, " I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."

nasb@1Samuel:15:1 @Now it came about when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself.

nasb@1Samuel:15:2 @Saul took him that day and did not let him return to his father's house.

nasb@1Samuel:15:3 @Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.

nasb@1Samuel:15:4 @Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, including his sword and his bow and his belt.

nasb@1Samuel:15:5 @So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war. And it was pleasing in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

nasb@1Samuel:15:8 @Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:12 @Now Saul was afraid of David, for the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.

nasb@1Samuel:15:13 @Therefore Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

nasb@1Samuel:15:14 @David was prospering in all his ways for the LORD was with him.

nasb@1Samuel:15:15 @When Saul saw that he was prospering greatly, he dreaded him.

nasb@1Samuel:15:17 @Then Saul said to David, " Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nasb@1Samuel:15:20 @Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. When they told Saul, the thing was agreeable to him.

nasb@1Samuel:15:21 @Saul thought, "I will give her to him that she may become a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, " For a second time you may be my son-in-law today."

nasb@1Samuel:15:24 @The servants of Saul reported to him according to these words which David spoke.

nasb@1Samuel:15:27 @David rose up and went, he and his men, and struck down two hundred men among the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.

nasb@1Samuel:15:28 @When Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him,

nasb@1Samuel:15:30 @Then the commanders of the Philistines went out to battle, and it happened as often as they went out, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul. So his name was highly esteemed.

nasb@1Samuel:16:4 @Then Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, " Do not let the king sin against his servant David, since he has not sinned against you, and since his deeds have been very beneficial to you.

nasb@1Samuel:16:7 @Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as formerly.

nasb@1Samuel:16:8 @When there was war again, David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with great slaughter, so that they fled before him.

nasb@1Samuel:16:11 @Then Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death."

nasb@1Samuel:16:15 @Then Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me on his bed, that I may put him to death."

nasb@1Samuel:16:18 @Now David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.

nasb@1Samuel:16:22 @Then he himself went to Ramah and came as far as the large well that is in Secu; and he asked and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah."

nasb@1Samuel:16:23 @He proceeded there to Naioth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, so that he went along prophesying continually until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

nasb@1Samuel:17:2 @He said to him, "Far from it, you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. So why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

nasb@1Samuel:17:17 @Jonathan made David vow again because of his love for him, because he loved him as he loved his own life.

nasb@1Samuel:17:18 @Then Jonathan said to him, " Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed because your seat will be empty.

nasb@1Samuel:17:30 @Then Saul's anger burned against Jonathan and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

nasb@1Samuel:17:31" @For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Therefore now, send and bring him to me, for he must surely die."

nasb@1Samuel:17:32 @But Jonathan answered Saul his father and said to him, " Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:33 @Then Saul hurled his spear at him to strike him down; so Jonathan knew that his father had decided to put David to death.

nasb@1Samuel:17:34 @Then Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved over David because his father had dishonored him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:35 @Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little lad was with him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:36 @He said to his lad, " Run, find now the arrows which I am about to shoot." As the lad was running, he shot an arrow past him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:40 @Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad and said to him, "Go, bring them to the city."

nasb@1Samuel:18:1 @Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech came trembling to meet David and said to him, "Why are you alone and no one with you?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:2 @David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, ' Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men to a certain place.'

nasb@1Samuel:18:5 @David answered the priest and said to him, " Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:6 @So the priest gave him consecrated bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence which was removed from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place when it was taken away.

nasb@1Samuel:18:8 @David said to Ahimelech, "Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's matter was urgent."

nasb@1Samuel:18:11 @But the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of this one as they danced, saying, 'Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:14 @Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me?

nasb@1Samuel:19:1 @So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's household heard of it, they went down there to him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:2 @Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:4 @Then he left them with the king of Moab; and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

nasb@1Samuel:19:6 @Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:7 @Saul said to his servants who stood around him, "Hear now, O Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse also give to all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?

nasb@1Samuel:19:9 @Then Doeg the Edomite, who was standing by the servants of Saul, said, " I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

nasb@1Samuel:19:10" @ He inquired of the LORD for him, gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."

nasb@1Samuel:19:11 @Then the king sent someone to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's household, the priests who were in Nob; and all of them came to the king.

nasb@1Samuel:19:13 @Saul then said to him, "Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me, in that you have given him bread and a sword and have inquired of God for him, so that he would rise up against me by lying in ambush as it is this day?"

nasb@1Samuel:19:14 @Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, even the king's son-in-law, who is captain over your guard, and is honored in your house?

nasb@1Samuel:19:15" @Did I just begin to inquire of God for him today? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing at all of this whole affair."

nasb@1Samuel:19:16 @But the king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's household!"

nasb@1Samuel:19:17 @And the king said to the guards who were attending him, "Turn around and put the priests of the LORD to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not reveal it to me." But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hands to attack the priests of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:19:20 @But one son of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.

nasb@1Samuel:20:3 @But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?"

nasb@1Samuel:20:4 @Then David inquired of the LORD once more. And the LORD answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand."

nasb@1Samuel:20:6 @Now it came about, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:20:7 @When it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah, Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he shut himself in by entering a city with double gates and bars."

nasb@1Samuel:20:9 @Now David knew that Saul was plotting evil against him; so he said to Abiathar the priest, " Bring the ephod here."

nasb@1Samuel:20:14 @David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:20:16 @And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David at Horesh, and encouraged him in God.

nasb@1Samuel:20:17 @Thus he said to him, " Do not be afraid, because the hand of Saul my father will not find you, and you will be king over Israel and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also."

nasb@1Samuel:20:19 @Then Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

nasb@1Samuel:20:20" @Now then, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to do so; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand."

nasb@1Samuel:20:22" @Go now, make more sure, and investigate and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I am told that he is very cunning.

nasb@1Samuel:20:23" @So look, and learn about all the hiding places where he hides himself and return to me with certainty, and I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah."

nasb@1Samuel:20:24 @Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon.

nasb@1Samuel:20:25 @When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David, and he came down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard it, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.

nasb@1Samuel:21:3 @He came to the sheepfolds on the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the inner recesses of the cave.

nasb@1Samuel:21:4 @The men of David said to him, "Behold, this is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Behold; I am about to give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it seems good to you.'" Then David arose and cut off the edge of Saul's robe secretly.

nasb@1Samuel:21:5 @It came about afterward that David's conscience bothered him because he had cut off the edge of Saul's robe.

nasb@1Samuel:21:6 @So he said to his men, " Far be it from me because of the LORD that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD'S anointed."

nasb@1Samuel:21:8 @Now afterward David arose and went out of the cave and called after Saul, saying, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and prostrated himself.

nasb@1Samuel:21:19" @For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safely? May the LORD therefore reward you with good in return for what you have done to me this day.

nasb@1Samuel:22:1 @Then Samuel died; and all Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

nasb@1Samuel:22:5 @So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, visit Nabal and greet him in my name;

nasb@1Samuel:22:12 @So David's young men retraced their way and went back; and they came and told him according to all these words.

nasb@1Samuel:22:17" @Now therefore, know and consider what you should do, for evil is plotted against our master and against all his household; and he is such a worthless man that no one can speak to him."

nasb@1Samuel:22:21 @Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

nasb@1Samuel:22:22" @ May God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if by morning I leave as much as one male of any who belong to him."

nasb@1Samuel:22:25" @Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, 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.

nasb@1Samuel:22:31 @this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the LORD deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nasb@1Samuel:22:35 @So David received from her hand what she had brought him and said to her, " Go up to your house in peace. See, I have listened to you and granted your request."

nasb@1Samuel:22:36 @Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, 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; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

nasb@1Samuel:22:37 @But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.

nasb@1Samuel:23:1 @Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, " Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?"

nasb@1Samuel:23:2 @So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness of Ziph.

nasb@1Samuel:23:3 @Saul camped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, beside the road, and David was staying in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,

nasb@1Samuel:23:5 @David then arose and came to the place where Saul had camped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; and Saul was lying in the circle of the camp, and the people were camped around him.

nasb@1Samuel:23:6 @Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

nasb@1Samuel:23:7 @So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him.

nasb@1Samuel:23:8 @Then Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand; now therefore, please let me strike him with the spear to the ground with one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."

nasb@1Samuel:23:9 @But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD'S anointed and be without guilt?"

nasb@1Samuel:23:10 @David also said, "As the LORD lives, surely the LORD will strike him, or his day will come that he dies, or he will go down into battle and perish.

nasb@1Samuel:23:19" @Now therefore, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it is men, cursed are they before the LORD, for they have driven me out today so that I would have no attachment with the inheritance of the LORD, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'

nasb@1Samuel:24:1 @Then David said to himself, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand."

nasb@1Samuel:24:2 @So David arose and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

nasb@1Samuel:24:4 @Now it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, so he no longer searched for him.

nasb@1Samuel:24:6 @So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

nasb@1Samuel:24:12 @So Achish believed David, saying, "He has surely made himself odious among his people Israel; therefore he will become my servant forever."

nasb@1Samuel:25:3 @Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who were mediums and spiritists.

nasb@1Samuel:25:6 @When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.

nasb@1Samuel:25:7 @Then Saul said to his servants, "Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor."

nasb@1Samuel:25:8 @Then Saul disguised himself by putting on other clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, " Conjure up for me, please, and bring up for me whom I shall name to you."

nasb@1Samuel:25:9 @But the woman said to him, "Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"

nasb@1Samuel:25:20 @Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.

nasb@1Samuel:25:21 @The woman came to Saul and saw that he was terrified, and said to him, "Behold, your maidservant has obeyed you, and I have taken my life in my hand and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.

nasb@1Samuel:25:23 @But he refused and said, " I will not eat." However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to them. So he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.

nasb@1Samuel:26:3 @Then the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years, and I have found no fault in him from the day he deserted to me to this day?"

nasb@1Samuel:26:4 @But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him, and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Make the man go back, that he may return to his place where you have assigned him, and do not let him go down to battle with us, or in the battle he may become an adversary to us. For with what could this man make himself acceptable to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of these men?

nasb@1Samuel:26:6 @Then Achish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight; for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, you are not pleasing in the sight of the lords.

nasb@1Samuel:27:4 @Then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep.

nasb@1Samuel:27:6 @Moreover David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

nasb@1Samuel:27:7 @Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me the ephod." So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

nasb@1Samuel:27:8 @David inquired of the LORD, saying, " Shall I pursue this band? Shall I overtake them?" And He said to him, "Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and you will surely rescue all."

nasb@1Samuel:27:9 @So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those left behind remained.

nasb@1Samuel:27:11 @Now they found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David, and gave him bread and he ate, and they provided him water to drink.

nasb@1Samuel:27:21 @When David came to the two hundred men who were too exhausted to follow David, who had also been left at the brook Besor, and they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him, then David approached the people and greeted them.

nasb@1Samuel:28:3 @The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was badly wounded by the archers.

nasb@1Samuel:28:5 @When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died with him.

nasb@2Samuel:1:2 @On the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dust on his head. And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.

nasb@2Samuel:1:4 @David said to him, " How did things go? Please tell me." And he said, "The people have fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

nasb@2Samuel:1:6 @The young man who told him said, "By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul was leaning on his spear. And behold, the chariots and the horsemen pursued him closely.

nasb@2Samuel:2:1 @Then it came about afterwards that David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up to one of the cities of Judah?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up." So David said, "Where shall I go up?" And He said, " To Hebron."

nasb@2Samuel:2:21 @So Abner said to him, "Turn to your right or to your left, and take hold of one of the young men for yourself, and take for yourself his spoil." But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.

nasb@2Samuel:2:23 @However, he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner struck him in the belly with the butt end of the spear, so that the spear came out at his back.

nasb@2Samuel:2:32 @And they took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb which was in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men went all night until the day dawned at Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:3:20 @Then Abner and twenty men with him came to David at Hebron. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

nasb@2Samuel:3:22 @And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much spoil with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:3:23 @When Joab and all the army that was with him arrived, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace."

nasb@2Samuel:3:26 @When Joab came out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.

nasb@2Samuel:3:27 @So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he struck him in the belly so that he died on account of the blood of Asahel his brother.

nasb@2Samuel:4:4 @Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son crippled in his feet. He was five years old when the report of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened that in her hurry to flee, he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

nasb@2Samuel:4:6 @They came to the middle of the house as if to get wheat, and they struck him in the belly; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

nasb@2Samuel:4:7 @Now when they came into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and killed him and beheaded him. And they took his head and traveled by way of the Arabah all night.

nasb@2Samuel:4:10 @when one told me, saying, 'Behold, Saul is dead,' and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.

nasb@2Samuel:4:10 @David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of hosts was with him.

nasb@2Samuel:4:12 @And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:5:16 @Then it happened as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

nasb@2Samuel:7:17 @Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was secretary.

nasb@2Samuel:8:1 @Then David said, "Is there yet anyone left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?"

nasb@2Samuel:8:2 @Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "I am your servant."

nasb@2Samuel:9:13 @So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans, and they fled before him.

nasb@2Samuel:9:17 @Now when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Arameans arrayed themselves to meet David and fought against him.

nasb@2Samuel:10:1 @Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:10:8 @Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." And Uriah went out of the king's house, and a present from the king was sent out after him.

nasb@2Samuel:10:13 @Now David called him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his bed with his lord's servants, but he did not go down to his house.

nasb@2Samuel:10:27 @When the time of mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house and she became his wife; then she bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@2Samuel:10:20 @So David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he requested, they set food before him and he ate.

nasb@2Samuel:14:15 @Then Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:18 @Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No! For whom the LORD, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

nasb@2Samuel:14:2" @ I will come upon him while he is weary and exhausted and terrify him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king alone,

nasb@2Samuel:14:6 @When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Shall we carry out his plan? If not, you speak."

nasb@2Samuel:14:9" @Behold, he has now hidden himself in one of the caves or in another place; and it will be when he falls on them at the first attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'

nasb@2Samuel:14:10" @And even the one who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will completely lose heart; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man and those who are with him are valiant men.

nasb@2Samuel:14:12" @So we shall come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.

nasb@2Samuel:14:16" @Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ' Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over, or else the king and all the people who are with him will be destroyed.'"

nasb@2Samuel:14:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, and a maidservant would go and tell them, and they would go and tell King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.

nasb@2Samuel:14:20 @Then Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have crossed the brook of water." And when they searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:14:22 @Then David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed the Jordan; and by dawn not even one remained who had not crossed the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:14:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.

nasb@2Samuel:14:24 @Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:29 @honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him, to eat; for they said, "The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness."

nasb@2Samuel:15:1 @Then David numbered the people who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.

nasb@2Samuel:15:9 @Now Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.

nasb@2Samuel:15:11 @Then Joab said to the man who had told him, "Now behold, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? And I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt."

nasb@2Samuel:15:15 @And ten young men who carried Joab's armor gathered around and struck Absalom and killed him.

nasb@2Samuel:15:17 @They took Absalom and cast him into a deep pit in the forest and erected over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled, each to his tent.

nasb@2Samuel:15:18 @Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, " I have no son to preserve my name." So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's Monument to this day.

nasb@2Samuel:15:19 @Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Please let me run and bring the king news that the LORD has freed him from the hand of his enemies."

nasb@2Samuel:15:20 @But Joab said to him, "You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today because the king's son is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:15:22 @Now Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said once more to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." And Joab said, "Why would you run, my son, since you will have no reward for going?"

nasb@2Samuel:15:23" @But whatever happens," he said, "I will run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and passed up the Cushite.

nasb@2Samuel:15:24 @Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and raised his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running by himself.

nasb@2Samuel:15:25 @The watchman called and told the king. And the king said, "If he is by himself there is good news in his mouth." And he came nearer and nearer.

nasb@2Samuel:15:26 @Then the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, "Behold, another man running by himself." And the king said, "This one also is bringing good news."

nasb@2Samuel:15:27 @The watchman said, "I think the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, " This is a good man and comes with good news."

nasb@2Samuel:15:28 @Ahimaaz called and said to the king, " All is well." And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, " Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king."

nasb@2Samuel:15:29 @The king said, " Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant, and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was."

nasb@2Samuel:16:16 @Then Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

nasb@2Samuel:16:17 @There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, with Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.

nasb@2Samuel:16:18 @Then they kept crossing the ford to bring over the king's household, and to do what was good in his sight. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was about to cross the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:21 @But Abishai the son of Zeruiah said, " Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:23 @The king said to Shimei, " You shall not die." Thus the king swore to him.

nasb@2Samuel:16:25 @It was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, " Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:29 @So the king said to him, "Why do you still speak of your affairs? I have decided, 'You and Ziba shall divide the land.'"

nasb@2Samuel:16:30 @Mephibosheth said to the king, "Let him even take it all, since my lord the king has come safely to his own house."

nasb@2Samuel:16:31 @Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:37" @Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham, let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight."

nasb@2Samuel:16:39 @All the people crossed over the Jordan and the king crossed too. The king then kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.

nasb@2Samuel:16:40 @Now the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah and also half the people of Israel accompanied the king.

nasb@2Samuel:16:41 @And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, " Why had our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household and all David's men with him over the Jordan?"

nasb@2Samuel:17:5 @So Amasa went to call out the men of Judah, but he delayed longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

nasb@2Samuel:17:6 @And David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord's servants and pursue him, so that he does not find for himself fortified cities and escape from our sight."

nasb@2Samuel:17:7 @So Joab's men went out after him, along with the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the mighty men; and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

nasb@2Samuel:17:9 @Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

nasb@2Samuel:17:10 @But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab's hand so he struck him in the belly with it and poured out his inward parts on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

nasb@2Samuel:17:11 @Now there stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab."

nasb@2Samuel:17:12 @But Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa from the highway into the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

nasb@2Samuel:17:14 @Now he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, even Beth-maacah, and all the Berites; and they were gathered together and also went after him.

nasb@2Samuel:17:15 @They came and besieged him in Abel Beth-maacah, and they cast up a siege ramp against the city, and it stood by the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab were wreaking destruction in order to topple the wall.

nasb@2Samuel:17:17 @So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Listen to the words of your maidservant." And he answered, "I am listening."

nasb@2Samuel:17:21" @Such is not the case. But a man from the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against King David.

nasb@2Samuel:18:4 @Then the Gibeonites said to him, " We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul or his house, nor is it for us to put any man to death in Israel." And he said, "I will do for you whatever you say."

nasb@2Samuel:18:15 @Now when the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David went down and his servants with him; and as they fought against the Philistines, David became weary.

nasb@2Samuel:18:17 @But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, " You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."

nasb@2Samuel:18:21 @When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, struck him down.

nasb@2Samuel:19:1 @And David spoke the words of this song to the LORD in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

nasb@2Samuel:19:12" @ And He made darkness canopies around Him, A mass of waters, thick clouds of the sky.

nasb@2Samuel:19:9 @and after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had withdrawn.

nasb@2Samuel:19:10 @He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and clung to the sword, and the LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.

nasb@2Samuel:19:11 @Now after him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines.

nasb@2Samuel:19:21 @He killed an Egyptian, an impressive man. Now the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.

nasb@2Samuel:19:23 @He was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David appointed him over his guard.

nasb@2Samuel:20:2 @The king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, "Go about now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and register the people, that I may know the number of the people."

nasb@2Samuel:20:10 @Now David's heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, " I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O LORD, please take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly."

nasb@2Samuel:20:13 @So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me."

nasb@2Samuel:20:18 @So Gad came to David that day and said to him, " Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

nasb@2Samuel:20:20 @Araunah looked down and saw the king and his servants crossing over toward him; and Araunah went out and bowed his face to the ground before the king.

nasb@1Kings:1:1 @Now King David was old, advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not keep warm.

nasb@1Kings:1:2 @So his servants said to him, "Let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her attend the king and become his nurse; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."

nasb@1Kings:1:4 @The girl was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and served him, but the king did not cohabit with her.

nasb@1Kings:1:5 @Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen with fifty men to run before him.

nasb@1Kings:1:6 @His father had never crossed him at any time by asking, "Why have you done so?" And he was also a very handsome man, and he was born after Absalom.

nasb@1Kings:1:40 @All the people went up after him, and the people were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth shook at their noise.

nasb@1Kings:1:41 @Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is the city making such an uproar?"

nasb@1Kings:1:44" @The king has also sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites; and they have made him ride on the king's mule.

nasb@1Kings:11:28 @Now the man Jeroboam was a valiant warrior, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, he appointed him over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.

nasb@1Kings:11:29 @It came about at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had clothed himself with a new cloak; and both of them were alone in the field.

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

nasb@1Kings:12:7 @Then they spoke to him, saying, " If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and grant them their petition, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."

nasb@1Kings:12:13 @The king answered the people harshly, for he forsook the advice of the elders which they had given him,

nasb@1Kings:12:18 @Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the forced labor, and all Israel stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam made haste to mount his chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Kings:12:20 @It came about when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.

nasb@1Kings:13:4 @Now when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.

nasb@1Kings:13:6 @The king said to the man of God, "Please entreat 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 it became as it was before.

nasb@1Kings:13:11 @Now an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king, these also they related to their father.

nasb@1Kings:13:13 @Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it.

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

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

nasb@1Kings:13:18 @He said to him, " I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" But he lied to him.

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

nasb@1Kings:13:20 @Now it came about, as they were sitting down at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back;

nasb@1Kings:13:23 @It came about after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

nasb@1Kings:13:24 @Now when he had gone, a lion met him on the way and killed him, and his body was thrown on the road, with the donkey standing beside it; the lion also was standing beside the body.

nasb@1Kings:13:26 @Now when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard it, he said, "It is the man of God, who disobeyed the command of the LORD; therefore the LORD has given him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to him."

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

nasb@1Kings:13:30 @He laid his body in his own grave, and they mourned over him, saying, " Alas, my brother!"

nasb@1Kings:14:13" @All Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he alone of Jeroboam's family will come to the grave, because in him something good was found toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

nasb@1Kings:14:18 @All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through His servant Ahijah the prophet.

nasb@1Kings:14:22 @Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked Him to jealousy more than all that their fathers had done, with the sins which they committed.

nasb@1Kings:15:3 @He walked in all the sins of his father which he had committed before him; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, like the heart of his father David.

nasb@1Kings:15:4 @But for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

nasb@1Kings:15:5 @because David did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.

nasb@1Kings:15:8 @And Abijam slept with his fathers and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:27 @Then Baasha the son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

nasb@1Kings:15:28 @So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:7 @Moreover, the word of the LORD through the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani also came against Baasha and his household, both because of all the evil which he did in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck it.

nasb@1Kings:15:9 @His servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was at Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household at Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:10 @Then Zimri went in and struck him and put him to death in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:17 @Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:18 @When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king's house and burned the king's house over him with fire, and died,

nasb@1Kings:15:21 @Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts- half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; the other half followed Omri.

nasb@1Kings:15:25 @Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:15:30 @Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD more than all who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:15:31 @It came about, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went to serve Baal and worshiped him.

nasb@1Kings:15:33 @Ahab also made the Asherah. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:16:2 @The word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nasb@1Kings:16:6 @The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the brook.

nasb@1Kings:16:8 @Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nasb@1Kings:16:17 @Now it came about after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

nasb@1Kings:16:19 @He said to her, "Give me your son." Then he took him from her bosom and carried him up to the upper room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.

nasb@1Kings:16:21 @Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called to the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, I pray You, let this child's life return to him."

nasb@1Kings:16:22 @The LORD heard the voice of Elijah, and the life of the child returned to him and he revived.

nasb@1Kings:16:23 @Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, "See, your son is alive."

nasb@1Kings:17:2 @So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:17:6 @So they divided the land between them to survey it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself.

nasb@1Kings:17:7 @Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is this you, Elijah my master?"

nasb@1Kings:17:8 @He said to him, "It is I. Go, say to your master, 'Behold, Elijah is here.'"

nasb@1Kings:17:15 @Elijah said, " As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today."

nasb@1Kings:17:16 @So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

nasb@1Kings:17:17 @When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is this you, you troubler of Israel?"

nasb@1Kings:17:21 @Elijah came near to all the people and said, " How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.

nasb@1Kings:17:30 @Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD which had been torn down.

nasb@1Kings:18:4 @But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers."

nasb@1Kings:18:5 @He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, there was an angel touching him, and he said to him, "Arise, eat."

nasb@1Kings:18:7 @The angel of the LORD came again a second time and touched him and said, "Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you."

nasb@1Kings:18:9 @Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nasb@1Kings:18:13 @When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nasb@1Kings:18:15 @The LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and when you have arrived, you shall anoint Hazael king over Aram;

nasb@1Kings:18:18" @ Yet I will leave 7,000 in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him."

nasb@1Kings:18:19 @So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah passed over to him and threw his mantle on him.

nasb@1Kings:18:20 @He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, "Please let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"

nasb@1Kings:18:21 @So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him.

nasb@1Kings:19:1 @Now Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria and fought against it.

nasb@1Kings:19:2 @Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, "Thus says Ben-hadad,

nasb@1Kings:19:8 @All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent."

nasb@1Kings:19:9 @So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.'" And the messengers departed and brought him word again.

nasb@1Kings:19:11 @Then the king of Israel replied, "Tell him, ' Let not him who girds on his armor boast like him who takes it off.'"

nasb@1Kings:19:16 @They went out at noon, while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the temporary shelters with the thirty-two kings who helped him.

nasb@1Kings:19:17 @The young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out and they told him, saying, "Men have come out from Samaria."

nasb@1Kings:19:22 @Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself and observe and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will come up against you."

nasb@1Kings:19:23 @Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, " Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we; but rather let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.

nasb@1Kings:19:31 @His servants said to him, "Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings, please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save your life."

nasb@1Kings:19:33 @Now the men took this as an omen, and quickly catching his word said, "Your brother Ben-hadad." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he took him up into the chariot.

nasb@1Kings:19:34 @Ben-hadad said to him, " The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." Ahab said, "And I will let you go with this covenant." So he made a covenant with him and let him go.

nasb@1Kings:19:35 @Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of the LORD, "Please strike me." But the man refused to strike him.

nasb@1Kings:19:36 @Then he said to him, "Because you have not listened to the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you." And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him and killed him.

nasb@1Kings:19:37 @Then he found another man and said, "Please strike me." And the man struck him, wounding him.

nasb@1Kings:19:38 @So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.

nasb@1Kings:19:40" @While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." And the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."

nasb@1Kings:19:41 @Then he hastily took the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him that he was of the prophets.

nasb@1Kings:19:42 @He said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.'"

nasb@1Kings:20:4 @So Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and ate no food.

nasb@1Kings:20:5 @But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, "How is it that your spirit is so sullen that you are not eating food?"

nasb@1Kings:20:13 @Then the two worthless men came in and sat before him; and the worthless men testified against him, even against Naboth, before the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king." So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones.

nasb@2Kings:5:1 @Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and highly respected, because by him the LORD had given victory to Aram. The man was also a valiant warrior, but he was a leper.

nasb@2Kings:5:3 @She said to her mistress, "I wish that my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his leprosy."

nasb@2Kings:5:13 @Then his servants came near and spoke to him and said, " My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean'?"

nasb@2Kings:5:14 @So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean.

nasb@2Kings:5:20 @But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, thought, "Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, by not receiving from his hands what he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."

nasb@2Kings:5:15 @Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"

nasb@2Kings:5:18 @When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, "Strike this people with blindness, I pray." So He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

nasb@2Kings:5:32 @Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from his presence; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head?

nasb@2Kings:5:33 @While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him and he said, " Behold, this evil is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longerNULL"

nasb@2Kings:6:17 @Now the king appointed the royal officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

nasb@2Kings:6:20 @And so it happened to him, for the people trampled on him at the gate and he died.

nasb@2Kings:7:6 @When the king asked the woman, she related it to him. So the king appointed for her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers and all the produce of the field from the day that she left the land even until now."

nasb@2Kings:7:7 @Then Elisha came to Damascus. Now Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and it was told him, saying, " The man of God has come here."

nasb@2Kings:7:8 @The king said to Hazael, " Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"

nasb@2Kings:7:11 @He fixed his gaze steadily on him until he was ashamed, and the man of God wept.

nasb@2Kings:7:14 @So he departed from Elisha and returned to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" And he answered, "He told me that you would surely recover."

nasb@2Kings:7:19 @However, the LORD was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David His servant, since He had promised him to give a lamp to him through his sons always.

nasb@2Kings:7:17 @Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." And Joram said, "Take a horseman and send him to meet them and let him say, 'Is it peace?'"

nasb@2Chronicles:13:7 @For he said to Judah, " Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours 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.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:10 @So Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up in battle formation in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:13 @Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar; and so many Ethiopians fell that they could not recover, for they were shattered before the LORD and before His army. And they carried away very much plunder.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:2 @and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin- the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:4" @But in their distress they turned to the LORD God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:5" @ In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:9 @He gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:15 @All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with their whole heart and had sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:7 @At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, " Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:10 @Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:14 @They buried him in his own tomb which he had cut out for himself in the city of David, and they laid him in the resting place which he had filled with spices of various kinds blended by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great fire for him.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:11 @Some of the Philistines brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat; the Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:14 @This was their muster according to their fathers' households- of Judah, commanders of thousands, Adnah was the commander, and with him 300,000 valiant warriors;

nasb@2Chronicles:16:15 @and next to him was Johanan the commander, and with him 280,000;

nasb@2Chronicles:16:16 @and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who volunteered for the LORD, and with him 200,000 valiant warriors;

nasb@2Chronicles:16:17 @and of Benjamin, Eliada a valiant warrior, and with him 200,000 armed with bow and shield;

nasb@2Chronicles:16:18 @and next to him Jehozabad, and with him 180,000 equipped for war.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:1 @Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; and he allied himself by marriage with Ahab.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:2 @Some years later he went down to visit Ahab at Samaria. And Ahab slaughtered many sheep and oxen for him and the people who were with him, and induced him to go up against Ramoth-gilead.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:3 @Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?" And he said to him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people, and we will be with you in the battle."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:6 @But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here that we may inquire of him?"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:7 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me but always evil. He is Micaiah, son of Imla." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:10 @Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are consumed.'"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:12 @Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, "Behold, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. So please let your word be like one of them and speak favorably."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:14 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" He said, "Go up and succeed, for they will be given into your hand."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:15 @Then the king said to him, "How many times must I adjure you to speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:20" @Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.' And the LORD said to him, 'How?'

nasb@2Chronicles:17:21" @He said, 'I will go and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and prevail also. Go and do so.'

nasb@2Chronicles:17:25 @Then the king of Israel said, " Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

nasb@2Chronicles:17:26 @and say, 'Thus says the king, " Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely."'"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:29 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:31 @So when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel," and they turned aside to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him, and God diverted them from him.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:32 @When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:34 @The battle raged that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot in front of the Arameans until the evening; and at sunset he died.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:2 @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 and so bring wrath on yourself from the LORD?

nasb@2Chronicles:19:21 @When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, " Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness is everlasting."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:30 @So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God gave him rest on all sides.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:35 @After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. He acted wickedly in so doing.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:36 @So he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:4 @Now when Jehoram had taken over the kingdom of his father and made himself secure, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and some of the rulers of Israel also.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:7 @Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:9 @Then Jehoram crossed over with his commanders and all his chariots with him. And he arose by night and struck down the Edomites who were surrounding him and the commanders of the chariots.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:12 @Then a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet saying, "Thus says the LORD God of your father David, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father and the ways of Asa king of Judah,

nasb@2Chronicles:20:17 @and they came against Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions found in the king's house together with his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:18 @So after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable sickness.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:19 @Now it came about in the course of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels came out because of his sickness and he died in great pain. And his people made no fire for him like the fire for his fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:20 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years; and he departed with no one's regret, and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:6 @So he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:9 @He also sought Ahaziah, and they caught him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, put him to death and buried him. For they said, "He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So there was no one of the house of Ahaziah to retain the power of the kingdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:11 @But Jehoshabeath the king's daughter took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons who were being put to death, and placed him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she would not put him to death.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:1 @Now in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took captains of hundreds- Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Johanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, and they entered into a covenant with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:7" @The Levites will surround the king, each man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever enters the house, let him be killed. Thus be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out."

nasb@2Chronicles:22:11 @Then they brought out the king's son and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, " Long live the king!"

nasb@2Chronicles:22:16 @Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they would be the LORD'S people.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:3 @Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:6 @So the king summoned Jehoiada the chief priest and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the levy fixed by Moses the servant of the LORD on the congregation of Israel for the tent of the testimony?"

nasb@2Chronicles:23:16 @They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done well in Israel and to God and His house.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:21 @So they conspired against him and at the command of the king they stoned him to death in the court of the house of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:22 @Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which his father Jehoiada had shown him, but he murdered his son. And as he died he said, "May the LORD see and avenge!"

nasb@2Chronicles:23:23 @Now it happened at the turn of the year that the army of the Arameans came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, destroyed all the officials of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:25 @When they had departed from him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and murdered him on his bed. So he died, and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:26 @Now these are those who conspired against him- Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:27 @As to his sons and the many oracles against him and the rebuilding of the house of God, behold, they are written in the treatise of the Book of the Kings. Then Amaziah his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:7 @But a man of God came to him saying, "O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel nor with any of the sons of Ephraim.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:10 @Then Amaziah dismissed them, the troops which came to him from Ephraim, to go home; so their anger burned against Judah and they returned home in fierce anger.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:11 @Now Amaziah strengthened himself and led his people forth, and went to the Valley of Salt and struck down 10,000 of the sons of Seir.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:13 @But the troops whom Amaziah sent back from going with him to battle, raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and struck down 3,000 of them and plundered much spoil.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:15 @Then the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, "Why have you sought the gods of the people who have not delivered their own people from your hand?"

nasb@2Chronicles:24:16 @As he was talking with him, the king said to him, "Have we appointed you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be struck down?" Then the prophet stopped and said, "I know that God has planned to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:23 @Then Joash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, 400 cubits.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:27 @From the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD they conspired against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:28 @Then they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:1 @And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:5 @He continued to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding through the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God prospered him.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:7 @God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur-baal, and the Meunites.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:17 @Then Azariah the priest entered after him and with him eighty priests of the LORD, valiant men.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:18 @They opposed Uzziah the king and said to him, " It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful and will have no honor from the LORD God."

nasb@2Chronicles:25:20 @Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous on his forehead; and they hurried him out of there, and he himself also hastened to get out because the LORD had smitten him.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:23 @So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the grave which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." And Jotham his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:26:5 @He fought also with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them so that the Ammonites gave him during that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites also paid him this amount in the second and in the third year.

nasb@2Chronicles:26:9 @And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:5 @Wherefore, the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they defeated him and carried away from him a great number of captives and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who inflicted him with heavy casualties.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:20 @So Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:21 @Although Ahaz took a portion out of the house of the LORD and out of the palace of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:23 @For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, and said, " Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they became the downfall of him and all Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:24 @Moreover, when Ahaz gathered together the utensils of the house of God, he cut the utensils of the house of God in pieces; and he closed the doors of the house of the LORD and made altars for himself in every corner of Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:27 @So Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:6" @For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken Him and turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and have turned their backs.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:29 @Now at the completion of the burnt offerings, the king and all who were present with him bowed down and worshiped.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:9" @For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him."

nasb@2Chronicles:30:10 @Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok said to him, " Since the contributions began to be brought into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat with plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed His people, and this great quantity is left over."

nasb@2Chronicles:30:12 @They faithfully brought in the contributions and the tithes and the consecrated things; and Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them and his brother Shimei was second.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:8 @Then I sent a message to him saying, "Such things as you are saying have not been done, but you are inventing them in your own mind."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:18 @For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:7 @and I came to Jerusalem and learned about the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, by preparing a room for him in the courts of the house of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:26" @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin regarding these things? Yet among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:28 @Even one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite, so I drove him away from me.

nasb@Esther:1:12 @But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. Then the king became very angry and his wrath burned within him.

nasb@Esther:1:14 @and were close to him- Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who had access to the king's presence and sat in the first place in the kingdom--

nasb@Esther:1:19" @If it pleases the king, let a royal edict be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti may no longer come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal position to another who is more worthy than she.

nasb@Esther:2:2 @Then the king's attendants, who served him, said, " Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.

nasb@Esther:2:5 @Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

nasb@Esther:2:9 @Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and food, gave her seven choice maids from the king's palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

nasb@Esther:2:17 @The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

nasb@Esther:3:1 @After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and established his authority over all the princes who were with him.

nasb@Esther:3:2 @All the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage.

nasb@Esther:3:4 @Now it was when they had spoken daily to him and he would not listen to them, that they told Haman to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

nasb@Esther:3:5 @When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage.

nasb@Esther:3:6 @But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:4:4 @Then Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai that he might remove his sackcloth from him, but he did not accept them.

nasb@Esther:4:5 @Then Esther summoned Hathach from the king's eunuchs, whom the king had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.

nasb@Esther:4:7 @Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

nasb@Esther:4:8 @He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to plead with him for her people.

nasb@Esther:4:10 @Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai-

nasb@Esther:4:11" @All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days."

nasb@Esther:4:17 @So Mordecai went away and did just as Esther had commanded him.

nasb@Esther:5:4 @Esther said, "If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

nasb@Esther:5:9 @Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.

nasb@Esther:5:10 @Haman controlled himself, however, went to his house and sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

nasb@Esther:5:11 @Then Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the number of his sons, and every instance where the king had magnified him and how he had promoted him above the princes and servants of the king.

nasb@Esther:5:14 @Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, " Have a gallows fifty cubits high made and in the morning ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on it; then go joyfully with the king to the banquet." And the advice pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.

nasb@Esther:6:3 @The king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

nasb@Esther:6:4 @So the king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace in order to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.

nasb@Esther:6:5 @The king's servants said to him, "Behold, Haman is standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

nasb@Esther:6:6 @So Haman came in and the king said to him, "What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?"

nasb@Esther:6:9 @and let the robe and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes and let them array the man whom the king desires to honor and lead him on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, 'Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor.'"

nasb@Esther:6:11 @So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor."

nasb@Esther:6:13 @Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish origin, you will not overcome him, but will surely fall before him."

nasb@Esther:6:14 @While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hastily brought Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nasb@Esther:7:7 @The king arose in his anger from drinking wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king.

nasb@Esther:7:9 @Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were before the king said, "Behold indeed, the gallows standing at Haman's house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!" And the king said, "Hang him on it."

nasb@Esther:8:3 @Then Esther spoke again to the king, fell at his feet, wept and implored him to avert the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite and his plot which he had devised against the Jews.

nasb@Esther:8:5 @Then she said, " If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

nasb@Esther:8:7 @So King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Behold, I have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the gallows because he had stretched out his hands against the Jews.

nasb@Esther:10:2 @And all the accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
