nasb@Joshua:0:5" @ No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

nasb@Joshua:0:9" @Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

nasb@Joshua:0:11" @Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, saying, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you are to cross this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you, to possess it.'"

nasb@Joshua:0:17" @Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you; only may the LORD your God be with you as He was with Moses.

nasb@Joshua:1:12" @Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's household, and give me a pledge of truth,

nasb@Joshua:1:13 @and spare my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters, with all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death."

nasb@Joshua:1:14 @So the men said to her, "Our life for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when the LORD gives us the land that we will deal kindly and faithfully with you."

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:2:3 @and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God with the Levitical priests carrying it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it.

nasb@Joshua:2:7 @Now the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you.

nasb@Joshua:2:14 @So when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan with the priests carrying the ark of the covenant before the people,

nasb@Joshua:2:3 @and command them, saying, 'Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet are standing firm, and carry them over with you and lay them down in the lodging place where you will lodge tonight.'"

nasb@Joshua:2:8 @Thus the sons of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging place and put them down there.

nasb@Joshua:3:6 @For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD, to whom the LORD had sworn that He would not let them see the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

nasb@Joshua:3:13 @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:4:2 @The LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the valiant warriors.

nasb@Joshua:4:5" @It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead."

nasb@Joshua:4:17" @The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.

nasb@Joshua:4:20 @So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.

nasb@Joshua:4:21 @They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Joshua:4:24 @They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold, and articles of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:4:26 @Then Joshua made them take an oath at that time, saying, " Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and builds this city Jericho; with the loss of his firstborn he shall lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up its gates."

nasb@Joshua:4:27 @So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.

nasb@Joshua:5:12" @Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, for they have become accursed. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things under the ban from your midst.

nasb@Joshua:5:15 @' 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:5:21 @when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it."

nasb@Joshua:5:22 @So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was concealed in his tent with the silver underneath it.

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:5:25 @Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day." And all Israel stoned them with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

nasb@Joshua:5:8 @Now the LORD said to Joshua, " Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.

nasb@Joshua:5:3 @So Joshua rose with all the people of war to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose 30,000 men, valiant warriors, and sent them out at night.

nasb@Joshua:5:5" @Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as at the first, we will flee before them.

nasb@Joshua:5:10 @Now Joshua rose early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people to Ai.

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

nasb@Joshua:5:24 @Now when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the wilderness where they pursued them, and all of them were fallen by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Joshua:5:26 @For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he stretched out the javelin until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:33 @All Israel with their elders and officers and their judges were standing on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, the stranger as well as the native. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had given command at first to bless the people of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:35 @There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women and the little ones and the strangers who were living among them.

nasb@Joshua:6:2 @that they gathered themselves together with one accord to fight with Joshua and with Israel.

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:6:7 @The men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you are living within our land; how then shall we make a covenant with you?"

nasb@Joshua:6:11" @So our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, 'Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them, " We are your servants; now then, make a covenant with us."'

nasb@Joshua:6:15 @Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.

nasb@Joshua:6:16 @It came about at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were neighbors and that they were living within their land.

nasb@Joshua:6:22 @Then Joshua called for them and spoke to them, saying, "Why have you deceived us, saying, 'We are very far from you,' when you are living within our land?

nasb@Joshua:7:1 @Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were within their land,

nasb@Joshua:7:4" @Come up to me and help me, and let us attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel."

nasb@Joshua:7:5 @So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they with all their armies, and camped by Gibeon and fought against it.

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:7:10 @And the LORD confounded them before Israel, and He slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

nasb@Joshua:7:11 @As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, the LORD threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.

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

nasb@Joshua:7:20 @It came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were destroyed, and the survivors who remained of them had entered the fortified cities,

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:7:25 @Joshua then said to them, " Do not fear or be dismayed! Be strong and courageous, for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies with whom you fight."

nasb@Joshua:7:28 @Now Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Thus he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

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

nasb@Joshua:7:30 @The LORD gave it also with its king into the hands of Israel, and he struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor in it. Thus he did to its king just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

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

nasb@Joshua:7:32 @The LORD gave Lachish into the hands of Israel; and he captured it on the second day, and struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

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:7:35 @They captured it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; and he utterly destroyed that day every person who was in it, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

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

nasb@Joshua:7:37 @They captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who were in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it.

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

nasb@Joshua:7:39 @He captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Just as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had also done to Libnah and its king.

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

nasb@Joshua:8:4 @They came out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.

nasb@Joshua:8:6 @Then the LORD said to Joshua, " Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

nasb@Joshua:8:7 @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:8:10 @Then Joshua turned back at that time, and captured Hazor and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor formerly was the head of all these kingdoms.

nasb@Joshua:8:11 @They struck every person who was in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was no one left who breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire.

nasb@Joshua:8:12 @Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.

nasb@Joshua:8:14 @All the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took as their plunder; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They left no one who breathed.

nasb@Joshua:8:18 @Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings.

nasb@Joshua:8:19 @There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle.

nasb@Joshua:8:21 @Then Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

nasb@Joshua:9:8 @With the other half-tribe, the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD gave to them;

nasb@Joshua:9:9 @from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba, as far as Dibon;

nasb@Joshua:9:16 @Their territory was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley and all the plain by Medeba;

nasb@Joshua:9:21 @even all the cities of the plain and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.

nasb@Joshua:9:22 @The sons of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword among the rest of their slain.

nasb@Joshua:9:31 @also half of Gilead, with Ashtaroth and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the sons of Machir according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:10:4 @For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.

nasb@Joshua:10:8" @Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the LORD my God fully.

nasb@Joshua:10:12" @Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken."

nasb@Joshua: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:17:8 @and said to them, "Return to your tents with great riches and with very much livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and with very many clothes; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers."

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:17:15 @They came to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them saying,

nasb@Joshua:17:18 @that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? If you rebel against the LORD today, He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow.

nasb@Joshua:17:24" @But truly we have done this out of concern, for a reason, saying, 'In time to come your sons may say to our sons, "What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

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:18:4" @See, I have apportioned to you these nations which remain as an inheritance for your tribes, with all the nations which I have cut off, from the Jordan even to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun.

nasb@Joshua:18:7 @so that you will not associate with these nations, these which remain among you, or mention the name of their gods, or make anyone swear by them, or serve them, or bow down to them.

nasb@Joshua:18:12" @For if you ever go back and cling to the rest of these nations, these which remain among you, and intermarry with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,

nasb@Joshua:18:13 @know with certainty that the LORD your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they will be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nasb@Joshua:19:6 @'I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and Egypt pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

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:1:7 @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:1:8 @Then the sons of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.

nasb@Judges:1:16 @The descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up from the city of palms with the sons of Judah, to the wilderness of Judah which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.

nasb@Judges:1:17 @Then Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites living in Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.

nasb@Judges:1:18 @And Judah took Gaza with its territory and Ashkelon with its territory and Ekron with its territory.

nasb@Judges:1:19 @Now the LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they had iron chariots.

nasb@Judges:1:21 @But the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem; so the Jebusites have lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

nasb@Judges:1:22 @Likewise the house of Joseph went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.

nasb@Judges:1:25 @So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go free.

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

nasb@Judges:2:2 @and as for you, you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars.' But you have not obeyed Me; what is this you have done?

nasb@Judges:2:18 @When the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed and afflicted them.

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:3:31 @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:4:8 @Then Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."

nasb@Judges:4:9 @She said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hands of a woman." Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

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

nasb@Judges:4:13 @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:4:15 @The LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.

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:4:22 @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:4:14" @From Ephraim those whose root is in Amalek came down, Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples; From Machir commanders came down, And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of office.

nasb@Judges:4:15" @And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed at his heels; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.

nasb@Judges:4:21" @The torrent of Kishon swept them away, The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.

nasb@Judges:5:3 @For it was when Israel had sown, that the Midianites would come up with the Amalekites and the sons of the east and go against them.

nasb@Judges:5:5 @For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in like locusts for number, both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to devastate it.

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:5:16 @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:5:26 @and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold in an orderly manner, and take a second bull and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down."

nasb@Judges:5:39 @Then Gideon said to God, " Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground."

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

nasb@Judges:6:2 @The LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, for Israel would become boastful, saying, 'My own power has delivered me.'

nasb@Judges:6:4 @Then the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water and I will test them for you there. Therefore it shall be that he of whom I say to you, 'This one shall go with you,' he shall go with you; but everyone of whom I say to you, 'This one shall not go with you,' he shall not go."

nasb@Judges:6:5 @So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "You shall separate everyone who laps the water with his tongue as a dog laps, as well as everyone who kneels to drink."

nasb@Judges:6:7 @The LORD said to Gideon, "I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his home."

nasb@Judges:6:10" @But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp,

nasb@Judges:6:11 @and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp." So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp.

nasb@Judges:6:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.

nasb@Judges:6:16 @He divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers.

nasb@Judges:6:18" @When I and all who are with me blow the trumpet, then you also blow the trumpets all around the camp and say, 'For the LORD and for Gideon.'"

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:7:2 @But he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

nasb@Judges:7:3" @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:7:7 @Gideon said, "All right, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will thrash your bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."

nasb@Judges:7:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about 15,000 men, all who were left of the entire army of the sons of the east; for the fallen were 120,000 swordsmen.

nasb@Judges:7:16 @He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and he disciplined the men of Succoth with them.

nasb@Judges:7:27 @Gideon made it into an ephod, and placed it in his city, Ophrah, and all Israel played the harlot with it there, so that it became a snare to Gideon and his household.

nasb@Judges:7:33 @Then it came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the sons of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-berith their god.

nasb@Judges:7:35 @nor did they show kindness to the household of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) in accord with all the good that he had done to Israel.

nasb@Judges:7:4 @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:7:9" @But the olive tree said to them, 'Shall I leave my fatness with which God and men are honored, and go to wave over the trees?'

nasb@Judges:7:16" @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:7:23 @Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with 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:7:32" @Now therefore, arise by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field.

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:7:38 @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:7:39 @So Gaal went out before the leaders of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.

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:7:45 @Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he captured the city and killed the people who were in it; then he razed the city and sowed it with salt.

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:7:51 @But there was a strong tower in the center of the city, and all the men and women with all the leaders of the city fled there and shut themselves in; and they went up on the roof of the tower.

nasb@Judges:7:52 @So Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and approached the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.

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:9:8 @The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight with the sons of Ammon and become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:11 @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:9:20 @'But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people and camped in Jahaz and fought with Israel.

nasb@Judges:9:25 @'Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive with Israel, or did he ever fight against them?

nasb@Judges:9:26 @' While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?

nasb@Judges:9:33 @He struck them with a very great slaughter from Aroer to the entrance of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.

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:9:38 @Then he said, "Go." So he sent her away for two months; and she left with her companions, and wept on the mountains because of her virginity.

nasb@Judges:9:39 @At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did to her according to the vow which he had made; and she had no relations with a man. Thus it became a custom in Israel,

nasb@Judges:10:1 @Then the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the sons of Ammon without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you."

nasb@Judges:10:2 @Jephthah said to them, "I and my people were at great strife with the sons of Ammon; when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.

nasb@Judges:11:9 @God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

nasb@Judges:11:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, and He performed wonders while Manoah and his wife looked on.

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

nasb@Judges:12:12 @Then Samson said to them, "Let me now propound a riddle to you; if you will indeed tell it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes.

nasb@Judges:12:15 @Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson's wife, " Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?"

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

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

nasb@Judges:13:5 @When he had set fire to the torches, he released the foxes into the standing grain of the Philistines, thus burning up both the shocks and the standing grain, along with the vineyards and groves.

nasb@Judges:13:6 @Then the Philistines said, "Who did this?" And they said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

nasb@Judges:13:8 @He struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

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:13:15 @He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out and took it and killed a thousand men with it.

nasb@Judges:13:16 @Then Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men."

nasb@Judges:14:3 @Now Samson lay until midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two posts and pulled them up along with the bars; then he put them on his shoulders and carried them up to the top of the mountain which is opposite Hebron.

nasb@Judges:14:7 @Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

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

nasb@Judges:14:11 @He said to her, "If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:12 @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:14:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web [and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:14 @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:14:21 @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:14:29 @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:14:30 @And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" And he bent with all his might so that the house fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.

nasb@Judges:15:2 @He said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse in my hearing, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."

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:16:7 @Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were in it living in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no ruler humiliating them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.

nasb@Judges:16:24 @He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what do I have besides? So how can you say to me, 'What is the matter with you?'"

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@Ruth:1:8 @And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

nasb@Ruth:1:10 @And they said to her, "No, but we will surely return with you to your people."

nasb@Ruth:1:11 @But Naomi said, "Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

nasb@Ruth:1:18 @When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.

nasb@Ruth:1:20 @She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

nasb@Ruth:1:22 @So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, who returned from the land of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

nasb@Ruth:2:4 @Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, " May the LORD be with you." And they said to him, "May the LORD bless you."

nasb@Ruth:2:6 @The servant in charge of the reapers replied, "She is the young Moabite woman who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.

nasb@Ruth:2:8 @Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen carefully, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field; furthermore, do not go on from this one, but stay here with my maids.

nasb@Ruth:2:19 @Her mother-in-law then said to her, "Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz."

nasb@Ruth:2:20 @Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, " May he be blessed of the LORD who has not withdrawn his kindness to the living and to the dead." Again Naomi said to her, "The man is our relative, he is one of our closest relatives."

nasb@Ruth:2:22 @Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maids, so that others do not fall upon you in another field."

nasb@Ruth:2:23 @So she stayed close by the maids of Boaz in order to glean until the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

nasb@Ruth:2:3 @Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?

nasb@Ruth:2:2" @Now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maids you were? Behold, he winnows barley at the threshing floor tonight.

nasb@Ruth:3:14 @Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:1:19 @Then they arose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned again to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

nasb@1Samuel:1:21 @Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow.

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:2:3" @Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.

nasb@1Samuel:2:8" @ He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles, And inherit a seat of honor; For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them.

nasb@1Samuel:2:10" @ Those who contend with the LORD will be shattered; Against them He will thunder in the heavens, The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; And He will give strength to His king, And will exalt the horn of His anointed."

nasb@1Samuel:2:13 @and the custom of the priests with the people. When any man was offering a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:2:19 @And his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year when she would come up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

nasb@1Samuel:2:22 @Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@1Samuel:2:26 @Now the boy Samuel was growing in stature and in favor both with the LORD and with men.

nasb@1Samuel:2:29 @'Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?'

nasb@1Samuel:3:19 @Thus Samuel grew and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fail.

nasb@1Samuel:4:4 @So the people sent to Shiloh, and from there they carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

nasb@1Samuel:4:5 @As the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.

nasb@1Samuel:4:8" @Woe to us! Who shall deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who smote the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.

nasb@1Samuel:4:12 @Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn and dust on his head.

nasb@1Samuel:5:6 @Now the hand of the LORD was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and smote them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories.

nasb@1Samuel:5:7 @When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god."

nasb@1Samuel:5:8 @So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" And they said, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath." And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around.

nasb@1Samuel:5:9 @After they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city with very great confusion; and He smote the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them.

nasb@1Samuel:5:12 @And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

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

nasb@1Samuel:6:6" @Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He had severely dealt with them, did they not allow the people to go, and they departed?

nasb@1Samuel:6:11 @They put the ark of the LORD on the cart, and the box with the golden mice and the likenesses of their tumors.

nasb@1Samuel:6:15 @The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices that day to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:6:19 @He struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck down of all the people, 50,070 men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.

nasb@1Samuel:7:3 @Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, " If you return to the LORD with all your heart, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your hearts to the LORD and serve Him alone; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."

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

nasb@1Samuel:7:13 @So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come anymore within the border of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

nasb@1Samuel:9:3 @Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. So Kish said to his son Saul, "Take now with you one of the servants, and arise, go search for the donkeys."

nasb@1Samuel:9:5 @When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, and let us return, or else my father will cease to be concerned about the donkeys and will become anxious for us."

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

nasb@1Samuel:9:24 @Then the cook took up the leg with what was on it and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here is what has been reserved! Set it before you and eat, because it has been kept for you until the appointed time, since I said I have invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nasb@1Samuel:9:25 @When they came down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof.

nasb@1Samuel:9:5" @Afterward you will come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and they will be prophesying.

nasb@1Samuel:9:6" @Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man.

nasb@1Samuel:9:7" @It shall be when these signs come to you, do for yourself what the occasion requires, for God is with you.

nasb@1Samuel:9:11 @It came about, when all who knew him previously saw that he prophesied now with the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:26 @Saul also went to his house at Gibeah; and the valiant men whose hearts God had touched went with him.

nasb@1Samuel:10:1 @Now Nahash the Ammonite came up and besieged Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us and we will serve you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:2 @But Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "I will make it with you on this condition, that I will gouge out the right eye of every one of you, thus I will make it a reproach on all Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:10:5 @Now behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen, and he said, "What is the matter with the people that they weep?" So they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

nasb@1Samuel:10:2" @Now, here is the king walking before you, but I am old and gray, and behold my sons are with you. And I have walked before you from my youth even to this day.

nasb@1Samuel:10:7" @So now, take your stand, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did for you and your fathers.

nasb@1Samuel:10:20 @Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear. You have committed all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.

nasb@1Samuel:10:24" @ Only fear the LORD and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

nasb@1Samuel:11:2 @Now Saul chose for himself 3,000 men of Israel, of which 2,000 were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while 1,000 were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But he sent away the rest of the people, each to his tent.

nasb@1Samuel:11:5 @Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.

nasb@1Samuel:11:11 @But Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash,

nasb@1Samuel:11:15 @Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

nasb@1Samuel:11:16 @Now Saul and his son Jonathan and the people who were present with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin while the Philistines camped at Michmash.

nasb@1Samuel:11:22 @So it came about on the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hands of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan, but they were found with Saul and his son Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:12:2 @Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

nasb@1Samuel:12:7 @His armor bearer said to him, "Do all that is in your heart; turn yourself, and here I am with you according to your desire."

nasb@1Samuel:12:13 @Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor bearer behind him; and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death after him.

nasb@1Samuel:12:14 @That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about half a furrow in an acre of land.

nasb@1Samuel:12:17 @Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number now and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:18 @Then Saul said to Ahijah, " Bring the ark of God here." For the ark of God was at that time with the sons of Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:12:19 @While Saul talked to the priest, the commotion in the camp of the Philistines continued and increased; so Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

nasb@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.

nasb@1Samuel:12:21 @Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously, who went up with them all around in the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:12:32 @The people rushed greedily upon the spoil, and took sheep and oxen and calves, and slew them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.

nasb@1Samuel:12:33 @Then they told Saul, saying, "Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood." And he said, "You have acted treacherously; roll a great stone to me today."

nasb@1Samuel:12:34 @Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, 'Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter it here and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'" So all the people that night brought each one his ox with him and slaughtered it there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:43 @Then Saul said to Jonathan, " Tell me what you have done." So Jonathan told him and said, " I indeed tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die!"

nasb@1Samuel:12:45 @But the people said to Saul, "Must Jonathan die, who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan and he did not die.

nasb@1Samuel:12:6 @Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

nasb@1Samuel:12:8 @He captured Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

nasb@1Samuel:12:25" @Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."

nasb@1Samuel:12:26 @But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:12:30 @Then he said, "I have sinned; but please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and go back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

nasb@1Samuel:13:1 @Now the LORD said to Samuel, " How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for Myself among his sons."

nasb@1Samuel:13:2 @But Samuel said, "How can I go? When Saul hears of it, he will kill me." And the LORD said, " Take a heifer with you and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'

nasb@1Samuel:13:5 @He said, "In peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." He also consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

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:13:16" @Let our lord now command your servants who are before you. Let them seek a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall come about when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play the harp with his hand, and you will be well."

nasb@1Samuel:13:18 @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:13:19 @So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, "Send me your son David who is with the flock."

nasb@1Samuel:13:20 @Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread and a jug of wine and a young goat, and sent them to Saul by David his son.

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:14:3 @The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.

nasb@1Samuel:14:5 @He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was clothed with scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.

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:14:19" @For Saul and they and all the men of Israel are in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines."

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:14:23 @As he was talking with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine from Gath named Goliath, was coming up from the army of the Philistines, and he spoke these same words; and David heard them.

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:14:32 @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:14:37 @And David said, " The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, " Go, and may the LORD be with you."

nasb@1Samuel:14:39 @David girded his sword over his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. So David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them." And David took them off.

nasb@1Samuel:14:41 @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:14:43 @The Philistine said to David, " Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

nasb@1Samuel:14:45 @Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.

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

nasb@1Samuel:15:9 @Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on.

nasb@1Samuel:15:10 @Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house, while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and a spear was in Saul's hand.

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

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

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:20:23" @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:21:7 @David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul arose, left the cave, and went on his way.

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:21:17 @He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have dealt well with me, while I have dealt wickedly with you.

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:22:7 @'Now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us and we have not insulted them, nor have they missed anything all the days they were in Carmel.

nasb@1Samuel:22:13 @David said to his men, "Each of you gird on his sword." So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.

nasb@1Samuel:22:15" @Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not insulted, nor did we miss anything as long as we went about with them, while we were in the fields.

nasb@1Samuel:22:16" @ They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep.

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:22:29" @Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your life, then the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; but the lives of your enemies He will sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

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:22:36 @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:22:41 @She arose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, "Behold, your maidservant is a maid to wash the feet of my lord's servants."

nasb@1Samuel:22:42 @Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.

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:23:6 @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:23:13 @Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the mountain at a distance with a large area between them.

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:24:2 @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:24:3 @And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.

nasb@1Samuel:24:5 @Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"

nasb@1Samuel:25:1 @Now it came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men."

nasb@1Samuel:25:8 @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:25:12 @When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul."

nasb@1Samuel:25:14 @He said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.

nasb@1Samuel:25:19" @Moreover the LORD will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed the LORD will give over the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!"

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:26:2 @And the lords of the Philistines were proceeding on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were proceeding on in the rear with Achish.

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:26:9 @But Achish replied to David, "I know that you are pleasing in my sight, like an angel of God; nevertheless the commanders of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us to the battle.'

nasb@1Samuel:26:10" @Now then arise early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you, and as soon as you have arisen early in the morning and have light, depart."

nasb@1Samuel:27:1 @Then it happened when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid on the Negev and on Ziklag, and had overthrown Ziklag and burned it with fire;

nasb@1Samuel:27:2 @and they took captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great, without killing anyone, and carried them off and went their way.

nasb@1Samuel:27:3 @When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been taken captive.

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:27:9 @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:27:14" @We made a raid on the Negev of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire."

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:27:22 @Then all the wicked and worthless men among those who went with David said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart."

nasb@1Samuel:27:23 @Then David said, "You must not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us, who has kept us and delivered into our hand the band that came against us.

nasb@1Samuel:28:4 @Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised will come and pierce me through and make sport of me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it.

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

nasb@1Samuel:28:6 @Thus Saul died with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men on that day together.

nasb@1Samuel:28:7 @When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, with those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; then the Philistines came and lived in them.

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:1:11 @Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so also did all the men who were with him.

nasb@2Samuel:1:17 @Then David chanted with this lament over Saul and Jonathan his son,

nasb@2Samuel:1:21" @ O mountains of Gilboa, Let not dew or rain be on you, nor fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.

nasb@2Samuel:2:3 @And David brought up his men who were with him, each with his household; and they lived in the cities of Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:2:12 @Now Abner the son of Ner, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon with the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul.

nasb@2Samuel:2:23 @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:3:8 @Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ish-bosheth and said, " Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah?

nasb@2Samuel:3:12 @Then Abner sent messengers to David in his place, saying, "Whose is the land? Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with you to bring all Israel over to you."

nasb@2Samuel:3:13 @He said, "Good! I will make a covenant with you, but I demand one thing of you, namely, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see me."

nasb@2Samuel:3:16 @But her husband went with her, weeping as he went, and followed her as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go, return." So he returned.

nasb@2Samuel:3:17 @Now Abner had consultation with the elders of Israel, saying, "In times past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

nasb@2Samuel:3:20 @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:3:21 @Abner said to David, "Let me arise and go and gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may be king over all that your soul desires." So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

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:3:27 @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:3:31 @Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, " Tear your clothes and gird on sackcloth and lament before Abner." And King David walked behind the bier.

nasb@2Samuel:4:3 @So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the LORD at Hebron; then they anointed David king over Israel.

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

nasb@2Samuel:4:11 @Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees and carpenters and stonemasons; and they built a house for David.

nasb@2Samuel:5:2 @And David arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name, the very name of the LORD of hosts who is enthroned above the cherubim.

nasb@2Samuel:5:4 @So they brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark.

nasb@2Samuel:5:5 @Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals.

nasb@2Samuel:5:10 @And David was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

nasb@2Samuel:5:12 @Now it was told King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God." David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

nasb@2Samuel:5:14 @And David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod.

nasb@2Samuel:5:15 @So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

nasb@2Samuel:7:2 @He defeated Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute.

nasb@2Samuel:7:10 @Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi. And Joram brought with him articles of silver, of gold and of bronze.

nasb@2Samuel:14:17 @Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

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

nasb@2Samuel:14:21 @Ahithophel said to Absalom, " Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father. The hands of all who are with you will also be strengthened."

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:14:8 @Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men and they are fierce, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. And your father is an expert in warfare, and will not spend the night with the people.

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:14:13" @If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the valley until not even a small stone is found there."

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

nasb@2Samuel:14:22 @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:14:24 @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:15:2 @David sent the people out, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, "I myself will surely go out with you also."

nasb@2Samuel:15:5 @The king charged Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom." And all the people heard when the king charged all the commanders concerning Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:15:14 @Then Joab said, "I will not waste time here with you." So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.

nasb@2Samuel:15:27 @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:15:32 @Then the king said to the Cushite, " Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And the Cushite answered, " Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be as that young man!"

nasb@2Samuel:16:4 @The king covered his face and cried out with a loud voice, " O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!"

nasb@2Samuel:16:5 @Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, "Today you have covered with shame the faces of all your servants, who today have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,

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:16:22 @David then said, " What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:25 @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:16:26 @So he answered, "O my lord, the king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said, 'I will saddle a donkey for myself that I may ride on it and go with the king,' because your servant is lame.

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:16:33 @The king said to Barzillai, "You cross over with me and I will sustain you in Jerusalem with me."

nasb@2Samuel:16:34 @But Barzillai said to the king, " How long have I yet to live, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

nasb@2Samuel:16:36" @Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward?

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:16:38 @The king answered, "Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you require of me, I will do for you."

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:16:43 @But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, " We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contemptNULL Was it not our advice first to bring back our kingNULL" Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:17:2 @So all the men of Israel withdrew from following David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah remained steadfast to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:17:3 @Then David came to his house at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and placed them under guard and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up until the day of their death, living as widows.

nasb@2Samuel:17:4 @Then the king said to Amasa, "Call out the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

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:17:8 @When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was dressed in his military attire, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.

nasb@2Samuel:17:9 @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:17:15 @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:17:16 @Then a wise woman called from the city, "Hear, hear! Please tell Joab, 'Come here that I may speak with you.'"

nasb@2Samuel:18:2 @So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel made a covenant with them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah).

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

nasb@2Samuel:18:16 @Then Ishbi-benob, who was among the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, was girded with a new sword, and he intended to kill David.

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

nasb@2Samuel:18:18 @Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was among the descendants of the giant.

nasb@2Samuel:18:19 @There was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

nasb@2Samuel:19:10" @He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet.

nasb@2Samuel:19:26" @ With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the blameless You show Yourself blameless;

nasb@2Samuel:19:27 @With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverted You show Yourself astute.

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:19:21 @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: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@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:2:4 @so that the LORD may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, ' If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'

nasb@1Kings:2:8" @Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'

nasb@1Kings:2:9" @Now therefore, do not let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood."

nasb@1Kings:2:10 @Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David.

nasb@1Kings:2:26 @Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, " Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted."

nasb@1Kings:2:31 @The king said to him, " Do as he has spoken and fall upon him and bury him, that you may remove from me and from my father's house the blood which Joab shed without cause.

nasb@1Kings:3:1 @Then Solomon formed a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her to the city of David until he had finished building his own house and the house of the LORD and the wall around Jerusalem.

nasb@1Kings:3:18" @It happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth to a child, and we were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, only the two of us in the house.

nasb@1Kings:5:6" @Now therefore, command that they cut for me cedars from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."

nasb@1Kings:5:17 @Then the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with cut stones.

nasb@1Kings:6:4 @Also for the house he made windows with artistic frames.

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

nasb@1Kings:6:10 @He also built the stories against the whole house, each five cubits high; and they were fastened to the house with timbers of cedar.

nasb@1Kings:6:12" @Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will carry out My word with you which I spoke to David your father.

nasb@1Kings:6:15 @Then he built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the ceiling he overlaid the walls on the inside with wood, and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress.

nasb@1Kings:6:16 @He built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, even as the most holy place.

nasb@1Kings:6:18 @There was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, there was no stone seen.

nasb@1Kings:6:19 @Then he prepared an inner sanctuary within the house in order to place there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:6:20 @The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar.

nasb@1Kings:6:21 @So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold. And he drew chains of gold across the front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.

nasb@1Kings:6:22 @He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also the whole altar which was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.

nasb@1Kings:6:28 @He also overlaid the cherubim with gold.

nasb@1Kings:6:29 @Then he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inner and outer sanctuaries.

nasb@1Kings:6:30 @He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, inner and outer sanctuaries.

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

nasb@1Kings:6:35 @He carved on it cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the engraved work.

nasb@1Kings:6:36 @He built the inner court with three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams.

nasb@1Kings:7:2 @He built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was 100 cubits and its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams on the pillars.

nasb@1Kings:7:3 @It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the 45 pillars, 15 in each row.

nasb@1Kings:7:7 @He made the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:16 @When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer leading them.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:19 @So when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. Thus the Arameans were not willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:3 @He brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:4 @Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:5 @And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:7 @God was displeased with this thing, so He struck Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:16 @Then David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:20 @Now Ornan turned back and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. And Ornan was threshing wheat.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:21 @As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out from the threshing floor and prostrated himself before David with his face to the ground.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:26 @Then David built an altar to the LORD there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And he called to the LORD and He answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:5 @and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 were praising the LORD with the instruments which David made for giving praise.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:8 @All these were of the sons of Obed-edom; they and their sons and their relatives were able men with strength for the service, 62 from Obed-edom.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:14 @The lot to the east fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a counselor with insight, and his lot came out to the north.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:1 @Now David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the commanders of the divisions that served the king, and the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the overseers of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, with the officials and the mighty men, even all the valiant men.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:3 @Then Solomon and all the assembly with him went to the high place which was at Gibeon, for God's tent of meeting was there, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:8 @Solomon said to God, "You have dealt with my father David with great lovingkindness, and have made me king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:14 @Solomon amassed chariots and horsemen. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:5 @He overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:6 @Further, he adorned the house with precious stones; and the gold was gold from Parvaim.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:7 @He also overlaid the house with gold--the beams, the thresholds and its walls and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.

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:21:5 @He also walked according to their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:1 @Then Eliashib the high priest arose with his brothers the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They consecrated the wall to the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:3 @Now the sons of Hassenaah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:6 @Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah repaired the Old Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:13 @Hanun and the inhabitants of Zanoah repaired the Valley Gate. They built it and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars, and a thousand cubits of the wall to the Refuse Gate.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:14 @Malchijah the son of Rechab, the official of the district of Beth-haccherem repaired the Refuse Gate. He built it and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:15 @Shallum the son of Col-hozeh, the official of the district of Mizpah, repaired the Fountain Gate. He built it, covered it and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars, and the wall of the Pool of Shelah at the king's garden as far as the steps that descend from the city of David.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:13 @then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears and bows.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:17 @Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens took their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:21 @So we carried on the work with half of them holding spears from dawn until the stars appeared.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:22 @At that time I also said to the people, "Let each man with his servant spend the night within Jerusalem so that they may be a guard for us by night and a laborer by day."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:7 @I consulted with myself and contended with the nobles and the rulers and said to them, " You are exacting usury, each from his brother!" Therefore, I held a great assembly against them.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:5 @Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same manner a fifth time with an open letter in his hand.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:9 @For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:10 @When I entered the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined at home, he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:16 @When all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations surrounding us saw it, they lost their confidence; for they recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:7 @who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of men of the people of Israel-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:65 @The governor said to them that they should not eat from the most holy things until a priest arose with Urim and Thummim.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:2 @Then Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who could listen with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:6 @Then Ezra blessed the LORD the great God. And all the people answered, " Amen, Amen!" while lifting up their hands; then they bowed low and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:1 @Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel assembled with fasting, in sackcloth and with dirt upon them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:4 @Now on the Levites' platform stood Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani and Chenani, and they cried with a loud voice to the LORD their God.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:6" @ You alone are the LORD. You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all their host, The earth and all that is on it, The seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them And the heavenly host bows down before You.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:8" @You found his heart faithful before You, And made a covenant with him To give him the land of the Canaanite, Of the Hittite and the Amorite, Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite-- To give it to his descendants. And You have fulfilled Your promise, For You are righteous.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:12" @And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:13" @Then You came down on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven; You gave them just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:20" @ You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, Your manna You did not withhold from their mouth, And You gave them water for their thirst.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:24" @ So their sons entered and possessed the land. And You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, And You gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land, To do with them as they desired.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:30" @ However, You bore with them for many years, And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:34" @For our kings, our leaders, our priests and our fathers have not kept Your law Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your admonitions with which You have admonished them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:35" @But they, in their own kingdom, With Your great goodness which You gave them, With the broad and rich land which You set before them, Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.

nasb@Nehemiah:10:29 @are joining with their kinsmen, their nobles, and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God's law, which was given through Moses, God's servant, and to keep and to observe all the commandments of GOD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes;

nasb@Nehemiah:10:38 @The priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes, and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of the storehouse.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:25 @Now as for the villages with their fields, some of the sons of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba and its towns, in Dibon and its towns, and in Jekabzeel and its villages,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:1 @Now these are the priests and the Levites who came up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua- Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:24 @The heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to praise and give thanks, as prescribed by David the man of God, division corresponding to division.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:27 @Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites from all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem so that they might celebrate the dedication with gladness, with hymns of thanksgiving and with songs to the accompaniment of cymbals, harps and lyres.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:33 @with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:35 @and some of the sons of the priests with trumpets; and Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:36 @and his kinsmen, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:38 @The second choir proceeded to the left, while I followed them with half of the people on the wall, above the Tower of Furnaces, to the Broad Wall,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:40 @Then the two choirs took their stand in the house of God. So did I and half of the officials with me;

nasb@Nehemiah:12:41 @and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah and Hananiah, with the trumpets;

nasb@Nehemiah:12:42 @and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam and Ezer. And the singers sang, with Jezrahiah their leader,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:45 @For they performed the worship of their God and the service of purification, together with the singers and the gatekeepers in accordance with the command of David and of his son Solomon.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:2 @because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:9 @Then I gave an order and they cleansed the rooms; and I returned there the utensils of the house of God with the grain offerings and the frankincense.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:25 @So I contended with them and cursed them and struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take of their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

nasb@Esther:1:10 @On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,

nasb@Esther:1:11 @to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal crown in order to display her beauty to the people and the princes, for she was beautiful.

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:1:15" @According to law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus delivered by the eunuchs?"

nasb@Esther:1:17" @For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women causing them to look with contempt on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in to his presence, but she did not come.'

nasb@Esther:2:6 @who had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the captives who had been exiled with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had exiled.

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:2:12 @Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows- six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--

nasb@Esther:2:13 @the young lady would go in to the king in this way- anything that she desired was given her to take with her from the harem to the king's palace.

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

nasb@Esther:3:11 @The king said to Haman, "The silver is yours, and the people also, to do with them as you please."

nasb@Esther:3:12 @Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written just as Haman commanded to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province and to the princes of each people, each province according to its script, each people according to its language, being written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nasb@Esther:4:3 @In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.

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

nasb@Esther:5:12 @Haman also said, "Even Esther the queen let no one but me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king.

nasb@Esther:5:14 @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:6:12 @Then Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried home, mourning, with his head covered.

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:7:1 @Now the king and Haman came to drink wine with Esther the queen.

nasb@Esther:7:4 @for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for the trouble would not be commensurate with the annoyance to the king."

nasb@Esther:7:8 @Now when the king returned from the palace garden into the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen with me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

nasb@Esther:8:8" @Now you write to the Jews as you see fit, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for a decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring may not be revoked."

nasb@Esther:8:10 @He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on horses, riding on steeds sired by the royal stud.

nasb@Esther:8:15 @Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.

nasb@Esther:9:5 @Thus the Jews struck all their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying; and they did what they pleased to those who hated them.

nasb@Esther:9:27 @the Jews established and made a custom for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them, so that they would not fail to celebrate these two days according to their regulation and according to their appointed time annually.

nasb@Esther:9:29 @Then Queen Esther, daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter about Purim.

nasb@Esther:9:31 @to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established for them, and just as they had established for themselves and for their descendants with instructions for their times of fasting and their lamentations.

nasb@Esther:10:3 @For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many kinsmen, one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the welfare of his whole nation.
