nasb@Joshua:0:1 @Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,

nasb@Joshua:0:2" @Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:0:3" @ Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses.

nasb@Joshua:0:7" @Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go.

nasb@Joshua:0:8" @ This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

nasb@Joshua:0:15 @until the LORD gives your brothers rest, as He gives you, and they also possess the land which the LORD your God is giving them. Then you shall return to your own land, and possess that which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise."

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:1:1 @Then Joshua the son of Nun sent two men as spies secretly from Shittim, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

nasb@Joshua:1:2 @It was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land."

nasb@Joshua:1:7 @So the men pursued them on the road to the Jordan to the fords; and as soon as those who were pursuing them had gone out, they shut the gate.

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:1:14 @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:1:15 @Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall, so that she was living on the wall.

nasb@Joshua:1:16 @She said to them, " Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will not happen upon you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way."

nasb@Joshua:1:21 @She said, "According to your words, so be it." So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.

nasb@Joshua:1:22 @They departed and came to the hill country, and remained there for three days until the pursuers returned. Now the pursuers had sought them all along the road, but had not found them.

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

nasb@Joshua:2:1 @Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they lodged there before they crossed.

nasb@Joshua:2:6 @And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people." So they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.

nasb@Joshua:2:9 @Then Joshua said to the sons of Israel, "Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God."

nasb@Joshua:2:13" @It shall come about when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and the waters which are flowing down from above will stand in one heap."

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:2:16 @the waters which were flowing down from above stood and rose up in one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:2:4 @So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe;

nasb@Joshua:2:5 @and Joshua said to them, "Cross again to the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:2:6" @Let this be a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying, 'What do these stones mean to you?'

nasb@Joshua:2:7 @then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.' So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever."

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:2:12 @The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over in battle array before the sons of Israel, just as Moses had spoken to them;

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

nasb@Joshua:2:17 @So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, "Come up from the Jordan."

nasb@Joshua:2:18 @It came about when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks as before.

nasb@Joshua:2:21 @He said to the sons of Israel, "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What are these stones?'

nasb@Joshua:2:24 @that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, so that you may fear the LORD your God forever."

nasb@Joshua:3:1 @Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed, that their hearts melted, and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:3:2 @At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make for yourself flint knives and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time."

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

nasb@Joshua:3:4 @This is the reason why Joshua circumcised them- all the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way after they came out of Egypt.

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:3:9 @Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." So the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.

nasb@Joshua:3:10 @While the sons of Israel camped at Gilgal they observed the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the desert plains of Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:3:11 @On the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain.

nasb@Joshua:3:12 @The manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.

nasb@Joshua:3:15 @The captain of the LORD'S host said to Joshua, " Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so.

nasb@Joshua:4:1 @Now Jericho was tightly shut because of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no one came in.

nasb@Joshua:4:3" @You shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so for six days.

nasb@Joshua:4:4" @Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

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:4:6 @So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:4:8 @And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

nasb@Joshua:4:11 @So he had the ark of the LORD taken around the city, circling it once; then they came into the camp and spent the night in the camp.

nasb@Joshua:4:14 @Thus the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp; they did so for six days.

nasb@Joshua:4:18" @But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not covet them and take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed and bring trouble on it.

nasb@Joshua: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:4:23 @So the young men who were spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives and placed them outside the camp of Israel.

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:5:1 @But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things under the ban, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban, therefore the anger of the LORD burned against the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:2 @Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:4 @So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:5 @The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men, and pursued them from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent, so the hearts of the people melted and became as water.

nasb@Joshua:5:10 @So the LORD said to Joshua, "Rise up! Why is it that you have fallen on your face?

nasb@Joshua:5:11" @Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken some of the things under the ban and have both stolen and deceived. Moreover, they have also put them among their own things.

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:5:16 @So Joshua arose early in the morning and brought Israel near by tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.

nasb@Joshua:5:18 @He brought his household near man by man; and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was taken.

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

nasb@Joshua:5:20 @So Achan answered Joshua and said, "Truly, I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and this is what I did-

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:5:23 @They took them from inside the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the sons of Israel, and they poured them out before the LORD.

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:5:3 @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:5:6" @They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, 'They are fleeing before us as at the first.' So we will flee before them.

nasb@Joshua:5:9 @So Joshua sent them away, and they went to the place of ambush and remained between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.

nasb@Joshua:5:13 @So they stationed the people, all the army that was on the north side of the city, and its rear guard on the west side of the city, and Joshua spent that night in the midst of the valley.

nasb@Joshua:5:17 @So not a man was left in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel, and they left the city unguarded and pursued Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:18 @Then the LORD said to Joshua, " Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." So Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:22 @The others came out from the city to encounter them, so that they were trapped in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they slew them until no one was left of those who survived or escaped.

nasb@Joshua:5:28 @So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, a desolation until this day.

nasb@Joshua:5:31 @just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no man had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

nasb@Joshua:5:32 @He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written, in the presence of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:6:4 @they also acted craftily and set out as envoys, and took worn-out sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins worn-out and torn and mended,

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:6:14 @So the men of Israel took some of their provisions, and did not ask for the counsel of the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:6:17 @Then the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.

nasb@Joshua:6:18 @The sons of Israel did not strike them because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.

nasb@Joshua:6:20" @This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be upon us for the oath which we swore to them."

nasb@Joshua:6:21 @The leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.

nasb@Joshua:6:24 @So they answered Joshua and said, " Because it was certainly told your servants that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you; therefore we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

nasb@Joshua:6:26 @Thus he did to them, and delivered them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did not kill them.

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

nasb@Joshua:7:4" @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:7:9 @So Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching all night from Gilgal.

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:7:12 @Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "O sun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon in the valley of Aijalon."

nasb@Joshua:7:13 @So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

nasb@Joshua:7:20 @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:7:21 @that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one uttered a word against any of the sons of Israel.

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

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

nasb@Joshua:7:26 @So afterward Joshua struck them and put them to death, and he hanged them on five trees; and they hung on the trees until evening.

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

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

nasb@Joshua:7:32 @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:7:35 @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:7:37 @They captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who were in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it.

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

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

nasb@Joshua:8:2 @and to the kings who were of the north in the hill country, and in the Arabah--south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and on the heights of Dor on the west--

nasb@Joshua:8:5 @So all of these kings having agreed to meet, came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

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:8:8 @The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, so that they defeated them, and pursued them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim and the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they struck them until no survivor was left to them.

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

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

nasb@Joshua:8:15 @Just as the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Joshua:8:19 @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:8:22 @There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained.

nasb@Joshua:8:23 @So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Thus the land had rest from war.

nasb@Joshua:9:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east-

nasb@Joshua:9:2 @Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, both the middle of the valley and half of Gilead, even as far as the brook Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon;

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

nasb@Joshua:9:6 @Moses the servant of the LORD and the sons of Israel defeated them; and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh as a possession.

nasb@Joshua:9:7 @Now these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel defeated beyond the Jordan toward the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even as far as Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

nasb@Joshua:9:4 @to the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorite;

nasb@Joshua:9:6" @All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians, I will drive them out from before the sons of Israel; only allot it to Israel for an inheritance as I have commanded you.

nasb@Joshua:9:10 @and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the sons of Ammon;

nasb@Joshua:9:13 @But the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites or the Maacathites; for Geshur and Maacath live among Israel until this day.

nasb@Joshua:9:15 @So Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of the sons of Reuben according to their families.

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:9:23 @The border of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nasb@Joshua:9:24 @Moses also gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:9:25 @Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer which is before Rabbah;

nasb@Joshua:9:28 @This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nasb@Joshua:9:29 @Moses also gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the sons of Manasseh according to their families.

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:10:1 @Now these are the territories which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned to them for an inheritance,

nasb@Joshua:10:4 @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:10:5 @Thus the sons of Israel did just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they divided the land.

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

nasb@Joshua:10:9" @So Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God fully.'

nasb@Joshua:10:11" @ I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.

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

nasb@Joshua:10:14 @Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the LORD God of Israel fully.

nasb@Joshua:11:1 @Now the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families reached the border of Edom, southward to the wilderness of Zin at the extreme south.

nasb@Joshua:11:2 @Their south border was from the lower end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that turns to the south.

nasb@Joshua:11:3 @Then it proceeded southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and continued to Zin, then went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron, and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka.

nasb@Joshua:11:4 @It continued to Azmon and proceeded to the brook of Egypt, and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border.

nasb@Joshua:11:6 @Then the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and continued on the north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:11:7 @The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and it ended at En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:11:8 @Then the border went up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the slope of the Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is before the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north.

nasb@Joshua:11:12 @The west border was at the Great Sea, even its coastline. This is the border around the sons of Judah according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:11:13 @Now he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the command of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).

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

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

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

nasb@Joshua:11:19 @Then she said, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

nasb@Joshua:11:20 @This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:11:21 @Now the cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the south were Kabzeel and Eder and Jagur,

nasb@Joshua:11:35 @Jarmuth and Adullam, Socoh and Azekah,

nasb@Joshua:11:48 @In the hill country- Shamir and Jattir and Socoh,

nasb@Joshua:11:63 @Now as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not drive them out; so the Jebusites live with the sons of Judah at Jerusalem until this day.

nasb@Joshua:12:1 @Then the lot for the sons of Joseph went from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

nasb@Joshua:12:4 @The sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.

nasb@Joshua:12:5 @Now this was the territory of the sons of Ephraim according to their families- the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, as far as upper Beth-horon.

nasb@Joshua:12:8 @From Tappuah the border continued westward to the brook of Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,

nasb@Joshua:12:9 @together with the cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:12:10 @But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.

nasb@Joshua:13:2 @So the lot was made for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families- for the sons of Abiezer and for the sons of Helek and for the sons of Asriel and for the sons of Shechem and for the sons of Hepher and for the sons of Shemida; these were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:13:3 @However, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters- Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

nasb@Joshua:13:4 @They came near before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua the son of Nun and before the leaders, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." So according to the command of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among their father's brothers.

nasb@Joshua:13:6 @because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

nasb@Joshua:13:7 @The border of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath which was east of Shechem; then the border went southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

nasb@Joshua:13:8 @The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim.

nasb@Joshua:13:9 @The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook (these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and it ended at the sea.

nasb@Joshua:13:10 @The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh, and the sea was their border; and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east.

nasb@Joshua:13:12 @But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

nasb@Joshua:13:13 @It came about when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

nasb@Joshua:13:14 @Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me only one lot and one portion for an inheritance, since I am a numerous people whom the LORD has thus far blessed?"

nasb@Joshua:13:16 @The sons of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns and those who are in the valley of Jezreel."

nasb@Joshua:14:1 @Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.

nasb@Joshua:14:2 @There remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not divided their inheritance.

nasb@Joshua:14:3 @So Joshua said to the sons of Israel, " How long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

nasb@Joshua:14:5" @They shall divide it into seven portions; Judah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall stay in their territory on the north.

nasb@Joshua:14:7" @For the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

nasb@Joshua:14:9 @So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

nasb@Joshua:14:10 @And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD, and there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.

nasb@Joshua:14:11 @Now the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot lay between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

nasb@Joshua:14:13 @From there the border continued to Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Bethel) southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, near the hill which lies on the south of lower Beth-horon.

nasb@Joshua:14:14 @The border extended from there and turned round on the west side southward, from the hill which lies before Beth-horon southward; and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.

nasb@Joshua:14:15 @Then the south side was from the edge of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went westward and went to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.

nasb@Joshua:14:16 @The border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:14:17 @It extended northward and went to En-shemesh and went to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:14:19 @The border continued to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

nasb@Joshua:14:20 @Moreover, the Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families and according to its borders all around.

nasb@Joshua:14:21 @Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz,

nasb@Joshua:14:28 @and Zelah, Haeleph and the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:1 @Then the second lot fell to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families, and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

nasb@Joshua:15:2 @So they had as their inheritance Beersheba or Sheba and Moladah,

nasb@Joshua:15:8 @and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:9 @The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, for the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of Judah's inheritance.

nasb@Joshua:15:10 @Now the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families. And the territory of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

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

nasb@Joshua:15:16 @This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:17 @The fourth lot fell to Issachar, to the sons of Issachar according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:23 @This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:24 @Now the fifth lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:30 @Included also were Ummah, and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:31 @This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:32 @The sixth lot fell to the sons of Naphtali; to the sons of Naphtali according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:34 @Then the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor and proceeded from there to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south and touched Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the east.

nasb@Joshua:15:39 @This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:40 @The seventh lot fell to the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:47 @The territory of the sons of Dan proceeded beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and possessed it and settled in it; and they called Leshem Dan after the name of Dan their father.

nasb@Joshua:15:48 @This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:49 @When they finished apportioning the land for inheritance by its borders, the sons of Israel gave an inheritance in their midst to Joshua the son of Nun.

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

nasb@Joshua:15:51 @These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed by lot in Shiloh before the LORD at the doorway of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.

nasb@Joshua:15:2" @Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'Designate the cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Moses,

nasb@Joshua:15:3 @that the manslayer who kills any person unintentionally, without premeditation, may flee there, and they shall become your refuge from the avenger of blood.

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

nasb@Joshua:15:7 @So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

nasb@Joshua:15:9 @These were the appointed cities for all the sons of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills any person unintentionally may flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood until he stands before the congregation.

nasb@Joshua:16:1 @Then the heads of households of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of households of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:16:3 @So the sons of Israel gave the Levites from their inheritance these cities with their pasture lands, according to the command of the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:16:4 @Then the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, received thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah and from the tribe of the Simeonites and from the tribe of Benjamin.

nasb@Joshua:16:5 @The rest of the sons of Kohath received ten cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim and from the tribe of Dan and from the half-tribe of Manasseh.

nasb@Joshua:16:6 @The sons of Gershon received thirteen cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar and from the tribe of Asher and from the tribe of Naphtali and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

nasb@Joshua:16:7 @The sons of Merari according to their families received twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben and from the tribe of Gad and from the tribe of Zebulun.

nasb@Joshua:16:8 @Now the sons of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities with their pasture lands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.

nasb@Joshua:16:9 @They gave these cities which are here mentioned by name from the tribe of the sons of Judah and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon;

nasb@Joshua:16:10 @and they were for the sons of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, of the sons of Levi, for the lot was theirs first.

nasb@Joshua:16:12 @But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.

nasb@Joshua:16:13 @So to the sons of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasture lands, and Libnah with its pasture lands,

nasb@Joshua:16:19 @All the cities of the sons of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their pasture lands.

nasb@Joshua:16:20 @Then the cities from the tribe of Ephraim were allotted to the families of the sons of Kohath, the Levites, even to the rest of the sons of Kohath.

nasb@Joshua:16:26 @All the cities with their pasture lands for the families of the rest of the sons of Kohath were ten.

nasb@Joshua:16:27 @To the sons of Gershon, one of the families of the Levites, from the half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan, the city of refuge for the manslayer, with its pasture lands, and Be-eshterah with its pasture lands; two cities.

nasb@Joshua:16:34 @To the families of the sons of Merari, the rest of the Levites, they gave from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its pasture lands and Kartah with its pasture lands.

nasb@Joshua:16:40 @All these were the cities of the sons of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.

nasb@Joshua:16:41 @All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel were forty-eight cities with their pasture lands.

nasb@Joshua:16:43 @So the LORD gave Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and lived in it.

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:17:6 @So Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.

nasb@Joshua:17:7 @Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave a possession among their brothers westward beyond the Jordan. So when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

nasb@Joshua:17:9 @The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home and departed from the sons of Israel at Shiloh which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession which they had possessed, according to the command of the LORD through Moses.

nasb@Joshua:17:10 @When they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, a large altar in appearance.

nasb@Joshua:17:11 @And the sons of Israel heard it said, "Behold, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan, on the side belonging to the sons of Israel."

nasb@Joshua:17:12 @When the sons of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the sons of Israel gathered themselves at Shiloh to go up against them in war.

nasb@Joshua:17:13 @Then the sons of Israel sent to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

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:17:20 @'Did not Achan the son of Zerah act unfaithfully in the things under the ban, and wrath fall on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity.'"

nasb@Joshua:17:21 @Then the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered and spoke to the heads of the families of Israel.

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:17:25" @For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you sons of Reuben and sons of Gad; you have no portion in the LORD." So your sons may make our sons stop fearing the LORD.'

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

nasb@Joshua:17:28" @Therefore we said, 'It shall also come about if they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, then we shall say, "See the copy of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice; rather it is a witness between us and you."'

nasb@Joshua:17:30 @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:17:31 @And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Manasseh, "Today we know that the LORD is in our midst, because you have not committed this unfaithful act against the LORD; now you have delivered the sons of Israel from the hand of the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:17:32 @Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest and the leaders returned from the sons of Reuben and from the sons of Gad, from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and brought back word to them.

nasb@Joshua:17:33 @The word pleased the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God; and they did not speak of going up against them in war to destroy the land in which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living.

nasb@Joshua:17:34 @The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar Witness; "For," they said, "it is a witness between us that the LORD is God."

nasb@Joshua:18:6" @ Be very firm, then, to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

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

nasb@Joshua:19:4 @'To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau, and to Esau I gave Mount Seir to possess it; but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.

nasb@Joshua:19:29 @It came about after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

nasb@Joshua:19:32 @Now they buried the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the piece of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of Joseph's sons.

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

nasb@Judges:1:1 @Now it came about after the death of Joshua that the sons of Israel inquired of the LORD, saying, "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"

nasb@Judges:1:3 @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:1:9 @Afterward the sons of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country and in the Negev and in the lowland.

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

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

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

nasb@Judges:1:16 @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:1:20 @Then they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had promised; and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.

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:1:25 @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:1:27 @But Manasseh did not take possession of Beth-shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; so the Canaanites persisted in living in that land.

nasb@Judges:1:29 @Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who were living in Gezer; so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

nasb@Judges:1:30 @Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and became subject to forced labor.

nasb@Judges:1:32 @So the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

nasb@Judges:1:34 @Then the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, for they did not allow them to come down to the valley;

nasb@Judges:2:3" @Therefore I also said, ' I will not drive them out before you; but they will become as thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you.'"

nasb@Judges:2:4 @When the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.

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

nasb@Judges:2:6 @When Joshua had dismissed the people, the sons of Israel went each to his inheritance to possess the land.

nasb@Judges:2:14 @The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

nasb@Judges:3:6 @and they took their daughters for themselves as wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

nasb@Judges:3:7 @The sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asheroth.

nasb@Judges:3:8 @Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, so that He sold them into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the sons of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

nasb@Judges:3:9 @When the sons of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the sons of Israel to deliver them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

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

nasb@Judges:3:11 @Then the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

nasb@Judges:3:12 @Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

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

nasb@Judges:3:14 @The sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

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

nasb@Judges:3:22 @The handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the refuse came out.

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

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

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

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:4:1 @Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud died.

nasb@Judges:4:2 @And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.

nasb@Judges:4:3 @The sons of Israel cried to the LORD; for he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the sons of Israel severely for twenty years.

nasb@Judges:4:5 @She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.

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

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

nasb@Judges:4:12 @Then they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.

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

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

nasb@Judges:4:23 @So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:4:24 @The hand of the sons of Israel pressed heavier and heavier upon Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin the king of Canaan.

nasb@Judges:4:5 @Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,

nasb@Judges:4:4" @ LORD, when You went out from Seir, When You marched from the field of Edom, The earth quaked, the heavens also dripped, Even the clouds dripped water.

nasb@Judges:4:6" @In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, And travelers went by roundabout ways.

nasb@Judges:4:11" @At the sound of those who divide flocks among the watering places, There they shall recount the righteous deeds of the LORD, The righteous deeds for His peasantry in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.

nasb@Judges:4:12" @ Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and take away your captives, O son of Abinoam.

nasb@Judges:4:15" @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:4:18" @ Zebulun was a people who despised their lives even to death, And Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.

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:5:1 @Then the sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD gave them into the hands of Midian seven years.

nasb@Judges:5:2 @The power of Midian prevailed against Israel. Because of Midian the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens which were in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.

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:5:4 @So they would camp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel as well as no sheep, ox, or donkey.

nasb@Judges:5:6 @So Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and the sons of Israel cried to the LORD.

nasb@Judges:5:7 @Now it came about when the sons of Israel cried to the LORD on account of Midian,

nasb@Judges:5:8 @that the LORD sent a prophet to the sons of Israel, and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'It was I who brought you up from Egypt and brought you out from the house of slavery.

nasb@Judges:5:9 @'I delivered you from the hands of the Egyptians and from the hands of all your oppressors, and dispossessed them before you and gave you their land,

nasb@Judges:5:11 @Then the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press in order to save it from the Midianites.

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

nasb@Judges:5:29 @They said to one another, "Who did this thing?" And when they searched about and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Joash did this thing."

nasb@Judges:5:30 @Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has torn down the altar of Baal, and indeed, he has cut down the Asherah which was beside it."

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

nasb@Judges:5:33 @Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the sons of the east assembled themselves; and they crossed over and camped in the valley of Jezreel.

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

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

nasb@Judges:5:38 @And it was so. When he arose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he drained the dew from the fleece, a bowl full of water.

nasb@Judges:5:40 @God did so that night; for it was dry only on the fleece, and dew was on all the ground.

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

nasb@Judges:6:5 @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:6:8 @So the 300 men took the people's provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

nasb@Judges:6:11 @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:6:13 @When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat."

nasb@Judges:6:14 @His friend replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand."

nasb@Judges:6:18" @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:6:24 @Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were summoned and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.

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:7:9 @So he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, "When I return safely, I will tear down this tower."

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:7:13 @Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres.

nasb@Judges:7:18 @Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" And they said, "They were like you, each one resembling the son of a king."

nasb@Judges:7:19 @He said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if only you had let them live, I would not kill you."

nasb@Judges:7:20 @So he said to Jether his firstborn, "Rise, kill them." But the youth did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

nasb@Judges:7:21 @Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise up yourself, and fall on us; for as the man, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

nasb@Judges:7:22 @Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, also your son's son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian."

nasb@Judges:7:23 @But Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the LORD shall rule over you."

nasb@Judges:7:25 @They said, "We will surely give them." So they spread out a garment, and every one of them threw an earring there from his spoil.

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:7:28 @So Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, and they did not lift up their heads anymore. And the land was undisturbed for forty years in the days of Gideon.

nasb@Judges:7:29 @Then Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and lived in his own house.

nasb@Judges:7:30 @Now Gideon had seventy sons who were his direct descendants, for he had many wives.

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

nasb@Judges:7:32 @And Gideon the son of Joash died at a ripe old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

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:7:34 @Thus the sons of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side;

nasb@Judges:7:9 @And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's relatives, and spoke to them and to the whole clan of the household of his mother's father, saying,

nasb@Judges:7:2" @Speak, now, in the hearing of all the leaders of Shechem, 'Which is better for you, that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or that one man rule over you?' Also, remember that I am your bone and your flesh."

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

nasb@Judges:7:18 @but you have risen against my father's house today and have killed his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your relative--

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:7:24 @so that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

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

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

nasb@Judges:7:30 @When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.

nasb@Judges:7:31 @He sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, "Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his relatives have come to Shechem; and behold, they are stirring up the city against you.

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

nasb@Judges:7:41 @Then Abimelech remained at Arumah, but Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives so that they could not remain in Shechem.

nasb@Judges:7:43 @So he took his people and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field; when he looked and saw the people coming out from the city, he arose against them 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:7:49 @All the people also cut down each one his branch and followed Abimelech, and put them on the inner chamber and set the inner chamber on fire over those inside, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.

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

nasb@Judges:7:57 @Also God returned all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads, and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came upon them.

nasb@Judges:8:1 @Now after Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:8:4 @He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty cities in the land of Gilead that are called Havvoth-jair to this day.

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

nasb@Judges:8:7 @The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Judges:8:8 @They afflicted and crushed the sons of Israel that year; for eighteen years they afflicted all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in Gilead in the land of the Amorites.

nasb@Judges:8:9 @The sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.

nasb@Judges:8:10 @Then the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against You, for indeed, we have forsaken our God and served the Baals."

nasb@Judges:8:11 @The LORD said to the sons of Israel, "Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines?

nasb@Judges:8:12" @Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hands.

nasb@Judges:8:15 @The sons of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned, do to us whatever seems good to You; only please deliver us this day."

nasb@Judges:8:16 @So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD; and He could bear the misery of Israel no longer.

nasb@Judges:8:17 @Then the sons of Ammon were summoned and they camped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel gathered together and camped in Mizpah.

nasb@Judges:8:18 @The people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the sons of AmmonNULL He shall become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:1 @Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a valiant warrior, but he was the son of a harlot. And Gilead was the father of Jephthah.

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

nasb@Judges:9:3 @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:9:4 @It came about after a while that the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.

nasb@Judges:9:5 @When the sons of Ammon fought against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob;

nasb@Judges:9:6 @and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief that we may fight against the sons of Ammon."

nasb@Judges:9:7 @Then Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, " Did you not hate me and drive me from my father's house? So why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?"

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

nasb@Judges:9:9 @So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you take me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the LORD gives them up to me, will I become your head?"

nasb@Judges:9:12 @Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, "What is between you and me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"

nasb@Judges:9:13 @The king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up from Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan; therefore, return them peaceably now."

nasb@Judges:9:14 @But Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon,

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

nasb@Judges:9:17 @then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, "Please let us pass through your land," but the king of Edom would not listen. And they also sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

nasb@Judges:9:20 @'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:9:21 @'The LORD, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them; so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

nasb@Judges:9:24 @'Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the LORD our God has driven out before us, we will possess it.

nasb@Judges:9:27 @'I therefore have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by making war against me; may the LORD, the Judge, judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.'"

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

nasb@Judges:9:29 @Now the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, so that he passed through Gilead and Manasseh; then he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he went on to the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Judges:9:30 @Jephthah made a vow to the LORD and said, "If You will indeed give the sons of Ammon into my hand,

nasb@Judges:9:31 @then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it shall be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."

nasb@Judges:9:32 @So Jephthah crossed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD gave them into his hand.

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

nasb@Judges: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: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:10:3" @When I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?"

nasb@Judges:10:9 @He had thirty sons, and thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage outside the family, and he brought in thirty daughters from outside for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

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

nasb@Judges:10:14 @He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkeys; and he judged Israel eight years.

nasb@Judges:10:15 @Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.

nasb@Judges:11:1 @Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, so that the LORD gave them into the hands of the Philistines forty years.

nasb@Judges:11:3 @Then the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and give birth to a son.

nasb@Judges:11:5" @ For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

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

nasb@Judges:11:13 @So the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, " Let the woman pay attention to all that I said.

nasb@Judges:11:15 @Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Please let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you."

nasb@Judges:11:17 @Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, " What is your name, so that when your words come to pass, we may honor you?"

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

nasb@Judges:11:22 @So Manoah said to his wife, " We will surely die, for we have seen God."

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

nasb@Judges:12:1 @Then Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines.

nasb@Judges:12:2 @So he came back and told his father and mother, "I saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife."

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

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

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

nasb@Judges:12:7 @So he went down and talked to the woman; and she looked good to Samson.

nasb@Judges:12:9 @So he scraped the honey into his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it; but he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.

nasb@Judges:12:10 @Then his father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men customarily did this.

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

nasb@Judges:12:14 @So he said to them, "Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet." But they could not tell the riddle in three days.

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

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

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

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

nasb@Judges:12:20 @But Samson's wife was given to his companion who had been his friend.

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

nasb@Judges:13:2 @Her father said, "I really thought that you hated her intensely; so I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please let her be yours instead."

nasb@Judges:13:3 @Samson then said to them, "This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines when I do them harm."

nasb@Judges:13:4 @Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned the foxes tail to tail and put one torch in the middle between two tails.

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:13:7 @Samson said to them, "Since you act like this, I will surely take revenge on you, but after that I will quit."

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

nasb@Judges:13:11 @Then 3,000 men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."

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

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

nasb@Judges:13:14 @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:13:19 @But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi so that water came out of it. When he drank, his strength returned and he revived. Therefore he named it En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.

nasb@Judges:13:20 @So he judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.

nasb@Judges:14:1 @Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her.

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

nasb@Judges:14:3 @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:14:4 @After this it came about that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

nasb@Judges:14:6 @So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength is and how you may be bound to afflict you."

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

nasb@Judges:14:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Behold, you have deceived me and told me lies; now please tell me how you may be bound."

nasb@Judges:14:12 @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:14:16 @It came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death.

nasb@Judges:14:17 @So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, "A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man."

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

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

nasb@Judges:14:23 @Now the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice, for they said, "Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands."

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

nasb@Judges:14:26 @Then Samson said to the boy who was holding his hand, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them."

nasb@Judges:14:27 @Now the house was full of men and women, and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And about 3,000 men and women were on the roof looking on while Samson was amusing them.

nasb@Judges:14:28 @Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."

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:15:3 @He then returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, "I wholly dedicate the silver from my hand to the LORD for my son to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore, I will return them to you."

nasb@Judges:15:4 @So when he returned the silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith who made them into a graven image and a molten image, and they were in the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:15:5 @And the man Micah had a shrine and he made an ephod and household idols and consecrated one of his sons, that he might become his priest.

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:15:12 @So Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:16:2 @So the sons of Dan sent from their family five men out of their whole number, valiant men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it; and they said to them, "Go, search the land." And they came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

nasb@Judges:16:4 @He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah done to me, and he has hired me and I have become his priest."

nasb@Judges:16:16 @The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

nasb@Judges:16:22 @When they had gone some distance from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house assembled and overtook the sons of Dan.

nasb@Judges:16:23 @They cried to the sons of Dan, who turned around and said to Micah, "What is the matter with you, that you have assembled together?"

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

nasb@Judges:16:30 @The sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.

nasb@Judges:16:31 @So they set up for themselves Micah's graven image which he had made, all the time that the house of God was at Shiloh.

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

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

nasb@Judges:17:5 @Now on the fourth day they got up early in the morning, and he prepared to go; and the girl's father said to his son-in-law, " Sustain yourself with a piece of bread, and afterward you may go."

nasb@Judges:17:6 @So both of them sat down and ate and drank together; and the girl's father said to the man, "Please be willing to spend the night, and let your heart be merry."

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

nasb@Judges:17:8 @On the fifth day he arose to go early in the morning, and the girl's father said, "Please sustain yourself, and wait until afternoon"; so both of them ate.

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

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

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

nasb@Judges:17:14 @So they passed along and went their way, and the sun set on them near Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:17:19" @Yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for me, your maidservant, and the young man who is with your servants; there is no lack of anything."

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

nasb@Judges:17:23 @Then the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my fellows, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not commit this act of folly.

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

nasb@Judges:17:30 @All who saw it said, "Nothing like this has ever happened or been seen from the day when the sons of Israel came up from the land of Egypt to this day. Consider it, take counsel and speak up!"

nasb@Judges:18:1 @Then all the sons of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, came out, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

nasb@Judges:18:2 @The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, took their stand in the assembly of the people of God, 400,000 foot soldiers who drew the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:3 @(Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wickedness take place?"

nasb@Judges:18:4 @So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came with my concubine to spend the night at Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:18:5" @But the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me; instead, they ravished my concubine so that she died.

nasb@Judges:18:7" @Behold, all you sons of Israel, give your advice and counsel here."

nasb@Judges:18:13" @Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:14 @The sons of Benjamin gathered from the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:15 @From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin were numbered, 26,000 men who draw the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who were numbered, 700 choice men.

nasb@Judges:18:18 @Now the sons of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God and said, "Who shall go up first for us to battle against the sons of Benjamin?" Then the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."

nasb@Judges:18:19 @So the sons of Israel arose in the morning and camped against Gibeah.

nasb@Judges:18:21 @Then the sons of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and felled to the ground on that day 22,000 men of Israel.

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

nasb@Judges:18:24 @Then the sons of Israel came against the sons of Benjamin the second day.

nasb@Judges:18:25 @Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah the second day and felled to the ground again 18,000 men of the sons of Israel; all these drew the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:26 @Then all the sons of Israel and all the people went up and came to Bethel and wept; thus they remained there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening. And they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nasb@Judges:18:27 @The sons of Israel inquired of the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

nasb@Judges:18:28 @and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, Aaron's son, stood before it to minister in those days), saying, "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the sons of my brother Benjamin, or shall I cease?" And the LORD said, "Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand."

nasb@Judges:18:29 @So Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.

nasb@Judges:18:30 @The sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as at other times.

nasb@Judges:18:31 @The sons of Benjamin went out against the people and were drawn away from the city, and they began to strike and kill some of the people as at other times, on the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:32 @The sons of Benjamin said, "They are struck down before us, as at the first." But the sons of Israel said, "Let us flee that we may draw them away from the city to the highways."

nasb@Judges:18:35 @And the LORD struck Benjamin before Israel, so that the sons of Israel destroyed 25,100 men of Benjamin that day, all who draw the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:36 @So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. When the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah,

nasb@Judges:18:37 @the men in ambush hurried and rushed against Gibeah; the men in ambush also deployed and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:46 @So all of Benjamin who fell that day were 25,000 men who draw the sword; all these were valiant warriors.

nasb@Judges:18:48 @The men of Israel then turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city with the cattle and all that they found; they also set on fire all the cities which they found.

nasb@Judges:19:2 @So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly.

nasb@Judges:19:3 @They said, "Why, O LORD, God of Israel, has this come about in Israel, so that one tribe should be missing today in Israel?"

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

nasb@Judges:19:6 @And the sons of Israel were sorry for their brother Benjamin and said, "One tribe is cut off from Israel today.

nasb@Judges:19:13 @Then the whole congregation sent word and spoke to the sons of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.

nasb@Judges:19:15 @And the people were sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Judges:19:17 @They said, "There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe will not be blotted out from Israel.

nasb@Judges:19:18" @But we cannot give them wives of our daughters." For the sons of Israel had sworn, saying, "Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin."

nasb@Judges:19:19 @So they said, "Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south side of Lebonah."

nasb@Judges:19:20 @And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, "Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,

nasb@Judges:19:23 @The sons of Benjamin did so, and took wives according to their number from those who danced, whom they carried away. And they went and returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the cities and lived in them.

nasb@Judges:19:24 @The sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and each one of them went out from there to his inheritance.

nasb@Ruth:1:1 @Now it came about in the days when the judges governed, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.

nasb@Ruth:1:2 @The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi; and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. Now they entered the land of Moab and remained there.

nasb@Ruth:1:3 @Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left with her two sons.

nasb@Ruth:1:5 @Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and the woman was bereft of her two children and her husband.

nasb@Ruth:1:7 @So she departed from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

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:1:12" @Return, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said I have hope, if I should even have a husband tonight and also bear sons,

nasb@Ruth:1:19 @So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was stirred because of them, and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

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:2:3 @So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

nasb@Ruth:2:14 @At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left.

nasb@Ruth:2:16" @Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her."

nasb@Ruth:2:17 @So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

nasb@Ruth:2:18 @She took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also took it out and gave Naomi what she had left after she was satisfied.

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:2:22 @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:2:6 @So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.

nasb@Ruth:2:9 @He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth your maid. So spread your covering over your maid, for you are a close relative."

nasb@Ruth:2:14 @So she lay at his feet until morning and rose before one could recognize another; and he said, " Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

nasb@Ruth:2:15 @Again he said, "Give me the cloak that is on you and hold it." So she held it, and he measured six measures of barley and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.

nasb@Ruth:3:1 @Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, "Turn aside, friend, sit down here." And he turned aside and sat down.

nasb@Ruth:3:2 @He took ten men of the elders of the city and said, "Sit down here." So they sat down.

nasb@Ruth:3:4" @So I thought to inform you, saying, ' Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.'" And he said, "I will redeem it."

nasb@Ruth:3:5 @Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the deceased, in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance."

nasb@Ruth:3:8 @So the closest relative said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he removed his sandal.

nasb@Ruth:3:10" @Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the court of his birth place; you are witnesses today."

nasb@Ruth:3:13 @So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.

nasb@Ruth:3:15" @May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him."

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:1:3 @Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD there.

nasb@1Samuel:1:4 @When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;

nasb@1Samuel:1:7 @It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat.

nasb@1Samuel:1:8 @Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"

nasb@1Samuel:1:11 @She made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head."

nasb@1Samuel:1:13 @As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.

nasb@1Samuel:1:15 @But Hannah replied, "No, my lord, I am a woman oppressed in spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:1:18 @She said, " Let your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:1:26 @She said, "Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:2:1" @ So I have also dedicated him to the LORD; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD there.

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:2:7" @ The LORD makes poor and rich; He brings low, He also exalts.

nasb@1Samuel:2:12 @Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the LORD

nasb@1Samuel:2:15 @Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take boiled meat from you, only raw."

nasb@1Samuel:2:21 @The LORD visited Hannah; and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew before the LORD.

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

nasb@1Samuel:2:24" @No, my sons; for the report is not good which I hear the LORD'S people circulating.

nasb@1Samuel:2:28 @' Did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me; and did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?

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

nasb@1Samuel:2:31 @'Behold, the days are coming when I will break your strength and the strength of your father's house so that there will not be an old man in your house.

nasb@1Samuel:2:33 @'Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar so that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will die in the prime of life.

nasb@1Samuel:2:34 @'This will be the sign to you which will come concerning your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas- on the same day both of them will die.

nasb@1Samuel:2:36 @'Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread and say, "Please assign me to one of the priest's offices so that I may eat a piece of bread."'"

nasb@1Samuel:3:5 @Then he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, lie down again." So he went and lay down.

nasb@1Samuel:3:6 @The LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he answered, "I did not call, my son, lie down again."

nasb@1Samuel:3:8 @So the LORD called Samuel again for the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli discerned that the LORD was calling the boy.

nasb@1Samuel:3:9 @And Eli said to Samuel, "Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, 'Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

nasb@1Samuel:3:13" @For I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves and he did not rebuke them.

nasb@1Samuel:3:15 @So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the house of the LORD. But Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.

nasb@1Samuel:3:16 @Then Eli called Samuel and said, "Samuel, my son." And he said, "Here I am."

nasb@1Samuel:3:17 @He said, "What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you."

nasb@1Samuel:3:18 @So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, " It is the LORD; let Him do what seems good to Him."

nasb@1Samuel: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:4:10 @So the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent; and the slaughter was very great, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

nasb@1Samuel:4:11 @And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.

nasb@1Samuel:4:13 @When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road eagerly watching, because his heart was trembling for the ark of God. So the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.

nasb@1Samuel:4:15 @Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were set so that he could not see.

nasb@1Samuel:4:16 @The man said to Eli, "I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today." And he said, " How did things go, my son?"

nasb@1Samuel:4:17 @Then the one who brought the news replied, "Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been taken."

nasb@1Samuel:4:20 @And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, " Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention.

nasb@1Samuel:5:3 @When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set him in his place again.

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:5:10 @So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to us, to kill us and our people."

nasb@1Samuel:5:11 @They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill us and our people." For there was a deadly confusion throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

nasb@1Samuel:6:5" @So you shall make likenesses of your tumors and likenesses of your mice that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will ease His hand from you, your gods, and your land.

nasb@1Samuel:6:10 @Then the men did so, and took two milch cows and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

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:6:21 @So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down and take it up to you."

nasb@1Samuel:7:1 @And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the LORD and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:7:4 @So the sons of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth and served the LORD alone.

nasb@1Samuel:7:6 @They gathered to Mizpah, and drew water and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day and said there, " We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the sons of Israel at Mizpah.

nasb@1Samuel:7:7 @Now when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the sons of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:7:14 @The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. So there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

nasb@1Samuel:8:1 @And it came about when Samuel was old that he appointed his sons judges over Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:8:3 @His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice.

nasb@1Samuel:8:5 @and they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations."

nasb@1Samuel:8:8" @Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day--in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.

nasb@1Samuel:8:9" @Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them."

nasb@1Samuel:8:10 @So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who had asked of him a king.

nasb@1Samuel:8:11 @He said, " This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you- he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots.

nasb@1Samuel:8:12" @ He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

nasb@1Samuel:8:13" @He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers.

nasb@1Samuel:8:16" @He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys and use them for his work.

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

nasb@1Samuel:8:22 @The LORD said to Samuel, " Listen to their voice and appoint them a king." So Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Go every man to his city."

nasb@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.

nasb@1Samuel:9:2 @He had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and handsome man, and there was not a more handsome person than he among the sons of Israel; from his shoulders and up he was taller than any of the people.

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

nasb@1Samuel:9:10 @Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

nasb@1Samuel:9:13" @As soon as you enter the city you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up for you will find him at once."

nasb@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.

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:9:26 @And they arose early; and at daybreak Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, "Get up, that I may send you away." So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went out into the street.

nasb@1Samuel:9:2" @When you go from me today, then you will find two men close to Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ' The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. Now behold, your father has ceased to be concerned about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nasb@1Samuel:9:5" @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:9:10 @When they came to the hill there, behold, a group of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him mightily, so that he prophesied among them.

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

nasb@1Samuel:9:12 @A man there said, "Now, who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb- " Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:16 @So Saul said to his uncle, " He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom which Samuel had mentioned.

nasb@1Samuel:9:18 @and he said to the sons of Israel, " Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought Israel up from Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.'

nasb@1Samuel:9:21 @Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the Matrite family was taken. And Saul the son of Kish was taken; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.

nasb@1Samuel:9:22 @Therefore they inquired further of the LORD, "Has the man come here yet?" So the LORD said, "Behold, he is hiding himself by the baggage."

nasb@1Samuel:9:23 @So they ran and took him from there, and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.

nasb@1Samuel:9:24 @Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen? Surely there is no one like him among all the people." So all the people shouted and said, " Long live the king!"

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:10:7 @He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, " Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." Then the dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.

nasb@1Samuel:10:8 @He numbered them in Bezek; and the sons of Israel were 300,000, and the men of Judah 30,000.

nasb@1Samuel:10:9 @They said to the messengers who had come, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will have deliverance.'" So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

nasb@1Samuel:10:11 @The next morning Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp at the morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

nasb@1Samuel:10:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they also offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

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:10:9" @But they forgot the LORD their God, so He sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

nasb@1Samuel:10:11" @Then the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you from the hands of your enemies all around, so that you lived in security.

nasb@1Samuel:10:12" @When you saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ' No, but a king shall reign over us,' although the LORD your God was your king.

nasb@1Samuel:10:14" @ If you will fear the LORD and serve Him, and listen to His voice and not rebel against the command of the LORD, then both you and also the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God.

nasb@1Samuel:10:18 @So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

nasb@1Samuel:10:19 @Then all the people said to Samuel, " Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, so that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil by asking for ourselves a king."

nasb@1Samuel:11:3 @Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."

nasb@1Samuel:11:4 @All Israel heard the news that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines. The people were then summoned to Saul at Gilgal.

nasb@1Samuel:11:7 @Also some of the Hebrews crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. But as for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

nasb@1Samuel:11:9 @So Saul said, "Bring to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings." And he offered the burnt offering.

nasb@1Samuel:11:10 @As soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him and to greet him.

nasb@1Samuel:11:12 @therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the LORD.' So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering."

nasb@1Samuel:11:14" @But now your kingdom shall not endure. The LORD has sought out for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

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

nasb@1Samuel:11:20 @So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his hoe.

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:11:23 @And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

nasb@1Samuel:12:1 @Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

nasb@1Samuel:12:3 @and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD at Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.

nasb@1Samuel:12:4 @Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

nasb@1Samuel:12:6 @Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; perhaps the LORD will work for us, for the LORD is not restrained to save by many or by few."

nasb@1Samuel:12:11 @When both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, the Philistines said, "Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden themselves."

nasb@1Samuel:12:12 @So the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor bearer and said, "Come up to us and we will tell you something." And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me, for the LORD has given them into the hands of Israel."

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:12:15 @And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and the raiders trembled, and the earth quaked so that it became a great trembling.

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:12:21 @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:12:22 @When all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, even they also pursued them closely in the battle.

nasb@1Samuel:12:23 @So the LORD delivered Israel that day, and the battle spread beyond Beth-aven.

nasb@1Samuel:12:24 @Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

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

nasb@1Samuel:12:36 @Then Saul said, "Let us go down after the Philistines by night and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them." And they said, "Do whatever seems good to you." So the priest said, "Let us draw near to God here."

nasb@1Samuel:12:39" @For as the LORD lives, who delivers Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But not one of all the people answered him.

nasb@1Samuel:12:40 @Then he said to all Israel, "You shall be on one side and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." And the people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."

nasb@1Samuel:12:42 @Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son." And Jonathan was taken.

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:12:44 @Saul said, " May God do this to me and more also, for you shall surely die, Jonathan."

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

nasb@1Samuel:12:47 @Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.

nasb@1Samuel:12:49 @Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughters were these- the name of the firstborn Merab and the name of the younger Michal.

nasb@1Samuel:12:23" @For rebellion is as the sin of divination, And insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from being king."

nasb@1Samuel:12:28 @So Samuel said to him, " The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor, who is better than you.

nasb@1Samuel:12:29" @Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind."

nasb@1Samuel:12:31 @So Samuel went back following Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:12:33 @But Samuel said, " As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.

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:13:4 @So Samuel did what the LORD said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, " Do you come in peace?"

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:13:10 @Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

nasb@1Samuel:13:12 @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:13:17 @So Saul said to his servants, "Provide for me now a man who can play well and bring him to me."

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

nasb@1Samuel:13:19 @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:14:1 @Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

nasb@1Samuel:14:6 @He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders.

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

nasb@1Samuel:14:12 @Now David was the son of the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons. And Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.

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

nasb@1Samuel:14:17 @Then Jesse said to David his son, " Take now for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves and run to the camp to your brothers.

nasb@1Samuel:14:18" @ Bring also these ten cuts of cheese to the commander of their thousand, and look into the welfare of your brothers, and bring back news of them.

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:14:28 @Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger burned against David and he said, "Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down in order to see the battle."

nasb@1Samuel:14:39 @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:14:42 @When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.

nasb@1Samuel:14:44 @The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field."

nasb@1Samuel:14:49 @And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground.

nasb@1Samuel:14:53 @The sons of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines and plundered their camps.

nasb@1Samuel:14:55 @Now when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this young man?" And Abner said, "By your life, O king, I do not know."

nasb@1Samuel:14:56 @The king said, "You inquire whose son the youth is."

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

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:15:18 @But David said to Saul, " Who am I, and what is my life or my father's family in Israel, that I should be the king's son-in-law?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:19 @So it came about at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

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

nasb@1Samuel:15:22 @Then Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David secretly, saying, 'Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you; now therefore, become the king's son-in-law.'"

nasb@1Samuel:15:23 @So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. But David said, "Is it trivial in your sight to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:26 @When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to become the king's son-in-law. Before the days had expired

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:16:1 @Now Saul told Jonathan his son and all his servants to put David to death. But Jonathan, Saul's son, greatly delighted in David.

nasb@1Samuel:16:2 @So Jonathan told David saying, "Saul my father is seeking to put you to death. Now therefore, please be on guard in the morning, and stay in a secret place and hide yourself.

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

nasb@1Samuel:16:10 @Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, so that he stuck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.

nasb@1Samuel:16:12 @So Michal let David down through a window, and he went out and fled and escaped.

nasb@1Samuel:16:17 @So Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal said to Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go! Why should I put you to death?'"

nasb@1Samuel:16:20 @Then Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing and presiding over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul; and they also prophesied.

nasb@1Samuel:16:21 @When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:16:24 @He also stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, " Is Saul also among the prophetsNULL"

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

nasb@1Samuel:17:3 @Yet David vowed again, saying, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.' But truly as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death."

nasb@1Samuel:17:5 @So David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.

nasb@1Samuel:17:11 @Jonathan said to David, "Come, and let us go out into the field." So both of them went out to the field.

nasb@1Samuel:17:12 @Then Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good feeling toward David, shall I not then send to you and make it known to you?

nasb@1Samuel:17:13" @If it please my father to do you harm, may the LORD do so to Jonathan and more also, if I do not make it known to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And may the LORD be with you as He has been with my father.

nasb@1Samuel:17:16 @So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, " May the LORD require it at the hands of David's enemies."

nasb@1Samuel:17:24 @So David hid in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.

nasb@1Samuel:17:27 @It came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David's place was empty; so Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:29 @for he said, 'Please let me go, since our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. And now, if I have found favor in your sight, please let me get away that I may see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table."

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:17:41 @When the lad was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the more.

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

nasb@1Samuel:18:13 @So he disguised his sanity before them, and acted insanely in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down into his beard.

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

nasb@1Samuel:19:5 @The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

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

nasb@1Samuel:19:8" @For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day."

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:19:12 @Saul said, "Listen now, son of Ahitub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:19:19 @And he struck Nob the city of the priests with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and infants; also oxen, donkeys, and sheep he struck with the edge of the sword.

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

nasb@1Samuel:19:22 @Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have brought about the death of every person in your father's household.

nasb@1Samuel:20:2 @So David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and deliver Keilah."

nasb@1Samuel:20:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines; and he led away their livestock and struck them with a great slaughter. Thus David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.

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

nasb@1Samuel:20:8 @So Saul summoned all the people for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

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

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:20:18 @So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD; and David stayed at Horesh while Jonathan went to his house.

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

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:20:28 @So Saul returned from pursuing David and went to meet the Philistines; therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape.

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

nasb@1Samuel:21:10" @ Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD had given you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, 'I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD'S anointed.'

nasb@1Samuel:21:16 @When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, " Is this your voice, my son David?" Then Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

nasb@1Samuel:21:21" @So now swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me and that you will not destroy my name from my father's household."

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

nasb@1Samuel:22:8 @'Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"

nasb@1Samuel:22:10 @But Nabal answered David's servants and said, " Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.

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

nasb@1Samuel:22:13 @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:22:20 @It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:22:25" @Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name and folly is with him; but I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

nasb@1Samuel:22:26" @Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has restrained you from shedding blood, and from avenging yourself by your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek evil against my lord, be as Nabal.

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

nasb@1Samuel:22:36 @Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

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

nasb@1Samuel:22:39 @When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal and has kept back His servant from evil. The LORD has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

nasb@1Samuel:22:43 @David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.

nasb@1Samuel:22:44 @Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

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

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:23:12 @So David took the spear and the jug of water from beside Saul's head, and they went away, but no one saw or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a sound sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

nasb@1Samuel:23:14 @David called to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you who calls to the king?"

nasb@1Samuel:23:15 @So David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came to destroy the king your lord.

nasb@1Samuel:23:17 @Then Saul recognized David's voice and said, " Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord the king."

nasb@1Samuel:23:18 @He also said, " Why then is my lord pursuing his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?

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:23:21 @Then Saul said, " I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again because my life was precious in your sight this day. Behold, I have played the fool and have committed a serious error."

nasb@1Samuel:23:24" @Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the LORD, and may He deliver me from all distress."

nasb@1Samuel:23:25 @Then Saul said to David, " Blessed are you, my son David; you will both accomplish much and surely prevail." So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:24:11 @David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'"

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

nasb@1Samuel:25:2 @David said to Achish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." So Achish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."

nasb@1Samuel:25:4 @So the Philistines gathered together and came and camped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together and they camped in Gilboa.

nasb@1Samuel:25:18" @As you did not obey the LORD and did not execute His fierce wrath on Amalek, so the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nasb@1Samuel:25:19" @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:25:20 @Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.

nasb@1Samuel:25:22" @So now also, please listen to the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you that you may eat and have strength when you go on your way."

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

nasb@1Samuel:26:10" @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:26:11 @So David arose early, he and his men, to depart in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:27:9 @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:27:10 @But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor remained behind.

nasb@1Samuel:27:19 @But nothing of theirs was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that they had taken for themselves; David brought it all back.

nasb@1Samuel:27:20 @So David had captured all the sheep and the cattle which the people drove ahead of the other livestock, and they said, " This is David's spoil."

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

nasb@1Samuel:28:4 @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:28:6 @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:1:5 @So David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"

nasb@2Samuel:1:10" @So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown which was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."

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

nasb@2Samuel:2:25 @The sons of Benjamin gathered together behind Abner and became one band, and they stood on the top of a certain hill.

nasb@2Samuel:3:19 @Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin; and in addition Abner went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.

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:3:27 @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:3:28 @Afterward when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are innocent before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

nasb@2Samuel:11:23 @Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

nasb@2Samuel:11:25 @But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you." Although he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:27 @But when Absalom urged him, he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:29 @The servants of Absalom did to Amnon just as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose and each mounted his mule and fled.

nasb@2Samuel:11:30 @Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

nasb@2Samuel:11:32 @Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, responded, "Do not let my lord suppose they have put to death all the young men, the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead; because by the intent of Absalom this has been determined since the day that he violated his sister Tamar.

nasb@2Samuel:11:33" @Now therefore, do not let my lord the king take the report to heart, namely, 'all the king's sons are dead,' for only Amnon is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:11:35 @Jonadab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons have come; according to your servant's word, so it happened."

nasb@2Samuel:11:36 @As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came and lifted their voices and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.

nasb@2Samuel:11:37 @Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

nasb@2Samuel:11:38 @So Absalom had fled and gone to Geshur, and was there three years.

nasb@2Samuel:12:1 @Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was inclined toward Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:12:2 @So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments now, and do not anoint yourself with oil, but be like a woman who has been mourning for the dead many days;

nasb@2Samuel:12:3 @then go to the king and speak to him in this manner." So Joab put the words in her mouth.

nasb@2Samuel:12:6" @Your maidservant had two sons, but the two of them struggled together in the field, and there was no one to separate them, so one struck the other and killed him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:7" @Now behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and they say, 'Hand over the one who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, and destroy the heir also.' Thus they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth."

nasb@2Samuel:12:10 @So the king said, "Whoever speaks to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you anymore."

nasb@2Samuel:12:11 @Then she said, "Please let the king remember the LORD your God, so that the avenger of blood will not continue to destroy, otherwise they will destroy my son." And he said, " As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

nasb@2Samuel:12:14" @For we will surely die and are like water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away life, but plans ways so that the banished one will not be cast out from him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:15" @Now the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your maidservant said, 'Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the request of his maidservant.

nasb@2Samuel:12:16 @'For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would destroy both me and my son from the inheritance of God.'

nasb@2Samuel:12:17" @Then your maidservant said, 'Please let the word of my lord the king be comforting, for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And may the LORD your God be with you.'"

nasb@2Samuel:12:19 @So the king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" And the woman replied, "As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. Indeed, it was your servant Joab who commanded me, and it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant;

nasb@2Samuel:12:23 @So Joab arose and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:12:24 @However the king said, "Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face." So Absalom turned to his own house and did not see the king's face.

nasb@2Samuel:12:25 @Now in all Israel was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:26 @When he cut the hair of his head (and it was at the end of every year that he cut it, for it was heavy on him so he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at 200 shekels by the king's weight.

nasb@2Samuel:12:27 @To Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.

nasb@2Samuel:12:29 @Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

nasb@2Samuel:12:30 @Therefore he said to his servants, "See, Joab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." So Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

nasb@2Samuel:12:33 @So when Joab came to the king and told him, he called for Absalom. Thus he came to the king and prostrated himself on his face to the ground before the king, and the king kissed Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:13:6 @In this manner Absalom dealt with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole away the hearts of the men of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:13:9 @The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose and went to Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:13:10 @But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ' Absalom is king in Hebron.'"

nasb@2Samuel:13:16 @So the king went out and all his household with him. But the king left ten concubines to keep the house.

nasb@2Samuel:13:19 @Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why will you also go with us? Return and remain with the king, for you are a foreigner and also an exile; return to your own place.

nasb@2Samuel:13:21 @But Ittai answered the king and said, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely wherever my lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, there also your servant will be."

nasb@2Samuel:13:22 @Therefore David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." So Ittai the Gittite passed over with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

nasb@2Samuel:13:23 @While all the country was weeping with a loud voice, all the people passed over. The king also passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.

nasb@2Samuel:13:24 @Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar came up until all the people had finished passing from the city.

nasb@2Samuel:13:27 @The king said also to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace and your two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

nasb@2Samuel:13:31 @Now someone told David, saying, " Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolishness."

nasb@2Samuel:13:34" @But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so I will now be your servant,' then you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

nasb@2Samuel:13:35" @Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the king's house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

nasb@2Samuel:13:36" @Behold their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send me everything that you hear."

nasb@2Samuel:13:37 @So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:14:3 @Then the king said, "And where is your master's son?" And Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.'"

nasb@2Samuel:14:4 @So the king said to Ziba, "Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours." And Ziba said, "I prostrate myself; let me find favor in your sight, O my lord, the king!"

nasb@2Samuel:14:5 @When King David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from there a man of the family of the house of Saul whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out cursing continually as he came.

nasb@2Samuel:14:8" @ The LORD has returned upon you all the bloodshed of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And behold, you are taken in your own evil, for you are a man of bloodshed!"

nasb@2Samuel:14:9 @Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over now and cut off his head."

nasb@2Samuel:14:10 @But the king said, " What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses, and if the LORD has told him, 'Curse David,' then who shall say, 'Why have you done so?'"

nasb@2Samuel:14:11 @Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my son who came out from me seeks my life; how much more now this Benjamite? Let him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:13 @So David and his men went on the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside parallel with him and as he went he cursed and cast stones and threw dust at him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:19" @Besides, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so I will be in your presence."

nasb@2Samuel:14:21 @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:14:22 @So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:14:23 @The advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one inquired of the word of God; so was all the advice of Ahithophel regarded by both David and Absalom.

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:14:4 @So the plan pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:14:5 @Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say."

nasb@2Samuel:14:7 @So Hushai said to Absalom, " This time the advice that Ahithophel has given is not good."

nasb@2Samuel:14:11" @But I counsel that all Israel be surely gathered to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in abundance, and that you personally go into battle.

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:14:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had ordained to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring calamity on Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:14:18 @But a lad did see them and told Absalom; so the two of them departed quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.

nasb@2Samuel:14:19 @And the woman took a covering and spread it over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, so that nothing was known.

nasb@2Samuel:14:25 @Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nasb@2Samuel:14:27 @Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

nasb@2Samuel:15:2 @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:15:4 @Then the king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and thousands.

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

nasb@2Samuel:15:12 @The man said to Joab, "Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, 'Protect for me the young man Absalom!'

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

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

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:15:21 @Then Joab said to the Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." So the Cushite bowed to Joab and ran.

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

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

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:15:30 @Then the king said, "Turn aside and stand here." So he turned aside and stood still.

nasb@2Samuel:15:33 @The king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And thus he said as he walked, " O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!"

nasb@2Samuel:16:2 @The victory that day was turned to mourning for all the people, for the people heard it said that day, "The king is grieved for his son."

nasb@2Samuel:16:3 @So the people went by stealth into the city that day, as people who are humiliated steal away when they flee in battle.

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:16:8 @So the king arose and sat in the gate. When they told all the people, saying, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate," then all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.

nasb@2Samuel:16:13" @Say to Amasa, 'Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and more also, if you will not be commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab.'"

nasb@2Samuel:16:14 @Thus he turned the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man, so that they sent word to the king, saying, "Return, you and all your servants."

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

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:16:19 @So he said to the king, " Let not my lord consider me guilty, nor remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king came out from Jerusalem, so that the king would take it to heart.

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

nasb@2Samuel:16:22 @David then said, " What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:24 @Then Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:16:26 @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:16:29 @So the king said to him, "Why do you still speak of your affairs? I have decided, 'You and Ziba shall divide the land.'"

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

nasb@2Samuel:16:43 @But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, " We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contemptNULL Was it not our advice first to bring back our kingNULL" Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:17:1 @Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said, " We have no portion in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nasb@2Samuel:17:2 @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.

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

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:17:10 @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:17:13 @As soon as he was removed from the highway, all the men passed on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

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

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:17:24 @and Adoram was over the forced labor, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;

nasb@2Samuel:17:26 @and Ira the Jairite was also a priest to David.

nasb@2Samuel:18:1 @Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the presence of the LORD. And the LORD said, "It is for Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death."

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

nasb@2Samuel:18:5 @So they said to the king, " The man who consumed us and who planned to exterminate us from remaining within any border of Israel,

nasb@2Samuel:19:14 @David was then in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

nasb@2Samuel:19:15 @David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!"

nasb@2Samuel:19:16 @So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD;

nasb@2Samuel:19:18 @Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. And he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name as well as the three.

nasb@2Samuel:19:20 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.

nasb@2Samuel:19:22 @These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name as well as the three mighty men.

nasb@2Samuel:19:24 @Asahel the brother of Joab was among the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

nasb@2Samuel:19:37 @Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, armor bearers of Joab the son of Zeruiah,

nasb@2Samuel:20:4 @Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army went out from the presence of the king to register the people of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:20:7 @and came to the fortress of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites, and they went out to the south of Judah, to Beersheba.

nasb@2Samuel:20:8 @So when they had gone about through the whole land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:20:15 @So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand men of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.

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

nasb@2Samuel:20:24 @However, the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

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

nasb@1Kings:1:3 @So they searched for a beautiful girl throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

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

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

nasb@1Kings:1:7 @He had conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and following Adonijah they helped him.

nasb@1Kings:1:8 @But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

nasb@1Kings:1:9 @Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants.

nasb@1Kings:1:10 @But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.

nasb@1Kings:1:11 @Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it?

nasb@1Kings:1:12" @So now come, please let me give you counsel and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:1:13" @Go at once to King David and say to him, 'Have you not, my lord, O king, sworn to your maidservant, saying, " Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?'

nasb@1Kings:1:15 @So Bathsheba went in to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.

nasb@1Kings:1:17 @She said to him, "My lord, you swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God, saying, ' Surely your son Solomon shall be king after me and he shall sit on my throne.'

nasb@1Kings:1:19" @ He has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.

nasb@1Kings:1:21" @Otherwise it will come about, as soon as my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered offenders."

nasb@1Kings:1:25" @ For he has gone down today and has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons and the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest, and behold, they are eating and drinking before him; and they say, ' Long live King Adonijah!'

nasb@1Kings:1:26" @ But me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.

nasb@1Kings:1:30 @surely as I vowed to you by the LORD the God of Israel, saying, 'Your son Solomon shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place'; I will indeed do so this day."

nasb@1Kings:1:32 @Then King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." And they came into the king's presence.

nasb@1Kings:1:33 @The king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.

nasb@1Kings:1:34" @Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel, and blow the trumpet and say, ' Long live King Solomon!'

nasb@1Kings:1:36 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! Thus may the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say.

nasb@1Kings:1:37" @ As the LORD has been with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!"

nasb@1Kings:1:38 @So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

nasb@1Kings:1:39 @Zadok the priest then took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, " Long live King Solomon!"

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

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

nasb@1Kings:1:42 @While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Then Adonijah said, "Come in, for you are a valiant man and bring good news."

nasb@1Kings:1:43 @But Jonathan replied to Adonijah, "No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king.

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

nasb@1Kings:1:45" @Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon, and they have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which you have heard.

nasb@1Kings:1:46" @Besides, Solomon has even taken his seat on the throne of the kingdom.

nasb@1Kings:1:47" @Moreover, the king's servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!' And the king bowed himself on the bed.

nasb@1Kings:1:48" @The king has also said thus, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has granted one to sit on my throne today while my own eyes see it.'"

nasb@1Kings:1:50 @And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, and he arose, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

nasb@1Kings:1:51 @Now it was told Solomon, saying, "Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.'"

nasb@1Kings:1:52 @Solomon said, "If he is a worthy man, not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he will die."

nasb@1Kings:2:1 @So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and prostrated himself before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

nasb@1Kings:2:2 @As David's time to die drew near, he charged Solomon his son, saying,

nasb@1Kings:2:4 @so that the LORD may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, ' If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'

nasb@1Kings:2:5" @Now you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt about his waist, and on his sandals on his feet.

nasb@1Kings:2:6" @ So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.

nasb@1Kings:2:7" @But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for they assisted me when I fled from Absalom your brother.

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:2:12 @And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.

nasb@1Kings:2:13 @Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, " Do you come peacefully?" And he said, "Peacefully."

nasb@1Kings:2:14 @Then he said, "I have something to say to you." And she said, "Speak."

nasb@1Kings:2:15 @So he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:2:17 @Then he said, "Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife."

nasb@1Kings:2:19 @So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right.

nasb@1Kings:2:21 @So she said, " Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as a wife."

nasb@1Kings:2:22 @King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "And why are you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him also the kingdom-- for he is my older brother--even for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah!"

nasb@1Kings:2:23 @Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "May God do so to me and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.

nasb@1Kings:2:25 @So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him so that he died.

nasb@1Kings:2:27 @So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD, which He had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

nasb@1Kings:2:29 @It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of the LORD, and behold, he is beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, " Go, fall upon him."

nasb@1Kings:2:30 @So Benaiah came to the tent of the LORD and said to him, "Thus the king has said, 'Come out.'" But he said, "No, for I will die here." And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus spoke Joab, and thus he answered me."

nasb@1Kings:2:32" @ The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he and killed them with the sword, while my father David did not know it- Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.

nasb@1Kings:2:33" @ So shall their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever; but to David and his descendants and his house and his throne, may there be peace from the LORD forever."

nasb@1Kings:2:34 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him and put him to death, and he was buried at his own house in the wilderness.

nasb@1Kings:2:35 @The king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in his place, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

nasb@1Kings:2:38 @Shimei then said to the king, "The word is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.

nasb@1Kings:2:39 @But it came about at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Behold, your servants are in Gath."

nasb@1Kings:2:41 @It was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.

nasb@1Kings:2:42 @So the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD and solemnly warn you, saying, 'You will know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, 'The word which I have heard is good.'

nasb@1Kings:2:44 @The king also said to Shimei, " You know all the evil which you acknowledge in your heart, which you did to my father David; therefore the LORD shall return your evil on your own head.

nasb@1Kings:2:45" @But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever."

nasb@1Kings:2:46 @So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him so that he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hands of Solomon.

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:3:3 @Now Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

nasb@1Kings:3:4 @The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

nasb@1Kings:3:5 @In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, " Ask what you wish me to give you."

nasb@1Kings:3:6 @Then Solomon said, " You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

nasb@1Kings:3:9" @So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"

nasb@1Kings:3:10 @It was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.

nasb@1Kings:3:12 @behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you.

nasb@1Kings:3:13" @ I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days.

nasb@1Kings:3:15 @Then Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and made peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

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

nasb@1Kings:3:19" @This woman's son died in the night, because she lay on it.

nasb@1Kings:3:20" @So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.

nasb@1Kings:3:21" @When I rose in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead; but when I looked at him carefully in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I had borne."

nasb@1Kings:3:22 @Then the other woman said, "No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." But the first woman said, "No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.

nasb@1Kings:3:23 @Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one'; and the other says, 'No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'"

nasb@1Kings:3:24 @The king said, "Get me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king.

nasb@1Kings:3:26 @Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son and said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him." But the other said, "He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him!"

nasb@1Kings:4:1 @Now King Solomon was king over all Israel.

nasb@1Kings:4:2 @These were his officials- Azariah the son of Zadok was the priest;

nasb@1Kings:4:3 @Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha were secretaries; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;

nasb@1Kings:4:4 @and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

nasb@1Kings:4:5 @and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the deputies; and Zabud the son of Nathan, a priest, was the king's friend;

nasb@1Kings:4:6 @and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labor.

nasb@1Kings:4:7 @Solomon had twelve deputies over all Israel, who provided for the king and his household; each man had to provide for a month in the year.

nasb@1Kings:4:10 @Ben-hesed, in Arubboth ( Socoh was his and all the land of Hepher);

nasb@1Kings:4:11 @Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife);

nasb@1Kings:4:12 @Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah as far as the other side of Jokmeam;

nasb@1Kings:4:13 @Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead ( the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead were his- the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars were his);

nasb@1Kings:4:14 @Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;

nasb@1Kings:4:15 @Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also married Basemath the daughter of Solomon);

nasb@1Kings:4:16 @Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;

nasb@1Kings:4:17 @Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;

nasb@1Kings:4:18 @Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

nasb@1Kings:4:19 @Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only deputy who was in the land.

nasb@1Kings:4:21 @Now Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

nasb@1Kings:4:22 @Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour and sixty kors of meal,

nasb@1Kings:4:25 @So Judah and Israel lived in safety, every man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:4:26 @Solomon had 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariots, and 12,000 horsemen.

nasb@1Kings:4:27 @Those deputies provided for King Solomon and all who came to King Solomon's table, each in his month; they left nothing lacking.

nasb@1Kings:4:28 @They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where it should be, each according to his charge.

nasb@1Kings:4:29 @Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore.

nasb@1Kings:4:30 @Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the sons of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.

nasb@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations.

nasb@1Kings:4:32 @He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005.

nasb@1Kings:4:33 @He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he spoke also of animals and birds and creeping things and fish.

nasb@1Kings:4:34 @Men came from all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.

nasb@1Kings:5:1 @Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David.

nasb@1Kings:5:2 @Then Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,

nasb@1Kings:5:3" @You know that David my father was unable to build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

nasb@1Kings:5:5" @Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.'

nasb@1Kings:5:7 @When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, "Blessed be the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."

nasb@1Kings:5:8 @So Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent me; I will do what you desire concerning the cedar and cypress timber.

nasb@1Kings:5:10 @So Hiram gave Solomon as much as he desired of the cedar and cypress timber.

nasb@1Kings:5:11 @Solomon then gave Hiram 20,000 kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of beaten oil; thus Solomon would give Hiram year by year.

nasb@1Kings:5:12 @The LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.

nasb@1Kings:5:13 @Now King Solomon levied forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered 30,000 men.

nasb@1Kings:5:15 @Now Solomon had 70,000 transporters, and 80,000 hewers of stone in the mountains,

nasb@1Kings:5:16 @besides Solomon's 3,300 chief deputies who were over the project and who ruled over the people who were doing the work.

nasb@1Kings:5:18 @So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timbers and the stones to build the house.

nasb@1Kings:6:1 @Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:6:2 @As for the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, its length was sixty cubits and its width twenty cubits and its height thirty cubits.

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:6:11 @Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon saying,

nasb@1Kings:6:13" @ I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."

nasb@1Kings:6:14 @So Solomon built the house and finished it.

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:6:23 @Also in the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.

nasb@1Kings:6:26 @The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub.

nasb@1Kings:6:27 @He placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the wings of the cherubim were spread out, so that the wing of the one was touching the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub was touching the other wall. So their wings were touching each other in the center of the house.

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

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:6:33 @So also he made for the entrance of the nave four-sided doorposts of olive wood

nasb@1Kings:6:38 @In the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished throughout all its parts and according to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.

nasb@1Kings:7:1 @Now Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

nasb@1Kings:7:8 @His house where he was to live, the other court inward from the hall, was of the same workmanship. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had married.

nasb@1Kings:7:9 @All these were of costly stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

nasb@1Kings:7:12 @So the great court all around had three rows of cut stone and a row of cedar beams even as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the porch of the house.

nasb@1Kings:7:13 @Now King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre.

nasb@1Kings:7:14 @He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

nasb@1Kings:7:16 @He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

nasb@1Kings:7:18 @So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.

nasb@1Kings:7:22 @On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished.

nasb@1Kings:7:25 @It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.

nasb@1Kings:7:26 @It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths.

nasb@1Kings:7:31 @Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

nasb@1Kings:7:39 @Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.

nasb@1Kings:7:40 @Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD-

nasb@1Kings:7:45 @and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.

nasb@1Kings:7:47 @Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

nasb@1Kings:7:48 @Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD- the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence;

nasb@1Kings:7:51 @Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:8:1 @Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' households of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the city of David, which is Zion.

nasb@1Kings:8:2 @All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

nasb@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen they could not be counted or numbered.

nasb@1Kings:8:8 @But the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; they are there to this day.

nasb@1Kings:8:9 @There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@1Kings:8:11 @so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:8:12 @Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

nasb@1Kings:8:19 @' Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.'

nasb@1Kings:8:22 @Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.

nasb@1Kings:8:25" @Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David my father that which You have promised him, saying, ' You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way to walk before Me as you have walked.'

nasb@1Kings:8:39 @then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive and act and render to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know, for You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men,

nasb@1Kings:8:41" @Also concerning the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for Your name's sake

nasb@1Kings:8:46" @When they sin against You (for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

nasb@1Kings:8:48 @if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and pray to You toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name;

nasb@1Kings:8:54 @When Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven.

nasb@1Kings:8:60 @so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no one else.

nasb@1Kings:8:63 @Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon observed the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, for seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.

nasb@1Kings:9:1 @Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all that Solomon desired to do,

nasb@1Kings:9:2 @that the LORD appeared to Solomon a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

nasb@1Kings:9:6" @ But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,

nasb@1Kings:9:7 @then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will cast out of My sight. So Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

nasb@1Kings:9:9" @And they will say, ' Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them, therefore the LORD has brought all this adversity on them.'"

nasb@1Kings:9:10 @It came about at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD and the king's house

nasb@1Kings:9:11 @(Hiram king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress timber and gold according to all his desire), then King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

nasb@1Kings:9:12 @So Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they did not please him.

nasb@1Kings:9:13 @He said, "What are these cities which you have given me, my brother?" So they were called the land of Cabul to this day.

nasb@1Kings:9:15 @Now this is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon levied to build the house of the LORD, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

nasb@1Kings:9:16 @For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

nasb@1Kings:9:17 @So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and the lower Beth-horon

nasb@1Kings:9:19 @and all the storage cities which Solomon had, even the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.

nasb@1Kings:9:20 @As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel,

nasb@1Kings:9:21 @their descendants who were left after them in the land whom the sons of Israel were unable to destroy utterly, from them Solomon levied forced laborers, even to this day.

nasb@1Kings:9:22 @But Solomon did not make slaves of the sons of Israel; for they were men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, his chariot commanders, and his horsemen.

nasb@1Kings:9:23 @These were the chief officers who were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people doing the work.

nasb@1Kings:9:24 @As soon as Pharaoh's daughter came up from the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her, then he built the Millo.

nasb@1Kings:9:25 @Now three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD, burning incense with them on the altar which was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

nasb@1Kings:9:26 @King Solomon also built a fleet of ships in Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

nasb@1Kings:9:27 @And Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, sailors who knew the sea, along with the servants of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:9:28 @They went to Ophir and took four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:10:1 @Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.

nasb@1Kings:10:2 @So she came to Jerusalem with a very large retinue, with camels carrying spices and very much gold and precious stones. When she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

nasb@1Kings:10:3 @Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from the king which he did not explain to her.

nasb@1Kings:10:4 @When the queen of Sheba perceived all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

nasb@1Kings:10:10 @She gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great amount of spices and precious stones. Never again did such abundance of spices come in as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:10:11 @Also the ships of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir a very great number of almug trees and precious stones.

nasb@1Kings:10:12 @The king made of the almug trees supports for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also lyres and harps for the singers; such almug trees have not come in again nor have they been seen to this day.

nasb@1Kings:10:13 @King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire which she requested, besides what he gave her according to his royal bounty. Then she turned and went to her own land together with her servants.

nasb@1Kings:10:14 @Now the weight of gold which came in to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

nasb@1Kings:10:16 @King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold, using 600 shekels of gold on each large shield.

nasb@1Kings:10:21 @All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:10:23 @So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

nasb@1Kings:10:24 @All the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.

nasb@1Kings:10:25 @They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

nasb@1Kings:10:26 @Now Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

nasb@1Kings:10:28 @Also Solomon's import of horses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king's merchants procured them from Kue for a price.

nasb@1Kings:11:1 @Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh- Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women,

nasb@1Kings:11:2 @from the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, " You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods." Solomon held fast to these in love.

nasb@1Kings:11:4 @For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been.

nasb@1Kings:11:5 @For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and after Milcom the detestable idol of the Ammonites.

nasb@1Kings:11:6 @Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not follow the LORD fully, as David his father had done.

nasb@1Kings:11:7 @Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable idol of Moab, on the mountain which is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestable idol of the sons of Ammon.

nasb@1Kings:11:8 @Thus also he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

nasb@1Kings:11:9 @Now the LORD was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

nasb@1Kings:11:11 @So the LORD said to Solomon, "Because you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

nasb@1Kings:11:12" @Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

nasb@1Kings:11:13" @However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen."

nasb@1Kings:11:14 @Then the LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the royal line in Edom.

nasb@1Kings:11:19 @Now Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so that he gave him in marriage the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

nasb@1Kings:11:20 @The sister of Tahpenes bore his son Genubath, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.

nasb@1Kings:11:23 @God also raised up another adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

nasb@1Kings:11:25 @So he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the evil that Hadad did; and he abhorred Israel and reigned over Aram.

nasb@1Kings:11:26 @Then Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also rebelled against the king.

nasb@1Kings:11:27 @Now this was the reason why he rebelled against the king- Solomon built the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of his father David.

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

nasb@1Kings:11:31 @He said to Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces; for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and give you ten tribes

nasb@1Kings:11:33 @because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, doing what is right in My sight and observing My statutes and My ordinances, as his father David did.

nasb@1Kings:11:35 @but I will take the kingdom from his son's hand and give it to you, even ten tribes.

nasb@1Kings:11:36 @'But to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may have a lamp always before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen for Myself to put My name.

nasb@1Kings:11:40 @Solomon sought therefore to put Jeroboam to death; but Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt to Shishak king of Egypt, and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:11:41 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon and whatever he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

nasb@1Kings:11:42 @Thus the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

nasb@1Kings:11:43 @And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.

nasb@1Kings:12:2 @Now when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, he was living in Egypt (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon).

nasb@1Kings:12:5 @Then he said to them, " Depart for three days, then return to me." So the people departed.

nasb@1Kings:12:6 @King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?"

nasb@1Kings:12:8 @But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him.

nasb@1Kings:12:9 @So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

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

nasb@1Kings:12:15 @So the king did not listen to the people; for it was a turn of events from the LORD, that He might establish His word, which the LORD spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nasb@1Kings:12:16 @When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; To your tents, O Israel! Now look after your own house, David!" So Israel departed to their tents.

nasb@1Kings:12:17 @But as for the sons of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

nasb@1Kings:12:19 @So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

nasb@1Kings:12:21 @Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:12:23" @Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin and to the rest of the people, saying,

nasb@1Kings:12:24 @'Thus says the LORD, "You must not go up and fight against your relatives the sons of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing has come from Me."'" So they listened to the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:12:28 @So the king consulted, and made two golden calves, and he said to them, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt."

nasb@1Kings:12:31 @And he made houses on high places, and made priests from among all the people who were not of the sons of Levi.

nasb@1Kings:12:33 @Then he went up to the altar which he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised in his own heart; and he instituted a feast for the sons of Israel and went up to the altar to burn incense.

nasb@1Kings:13:2 @He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "O altar, altar, thus says the LORD, 'Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.'"

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

nasb@1Kings:13:5 @The altar also was split apart and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:13:6 @The king said to the man of God, "Please entreat the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.

nasb@1Kings:13:9" @For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way which you came.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:10 @So he went another way and did not return by the way which he came to Bethel.

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

nasb@1Kings:13:12 @Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone.

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

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

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

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

nasb@1Kings:13:21 @and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have disobeyed the command of the LORD, and have not observed the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,

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

nasb@1Kings:13:25 @And behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the road, and the lion standing beside the body; so they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.

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

nasb@1Kings:13:27 @Then he spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." And they saddled it.

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

nasb@1Kings:13:31 @After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

nasb@1Kings:14:1 @At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.

nasb@1Kings:14:2 @Jeroboam said to his wife, "Arise now, and disguise yourself so that they will not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who spoke concerning me that I would be king over this people.

nasb@1Kings:14:3" @ Take ten loaves with you, some cakes and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy."

nasb@1Kings:14:4 @Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.

nasb@1Kings:14:5 @Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when she arrives that she will pretend to be another woman."

nasb@1Kings:14:6 @When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming in the doorway, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why do you pretend to be another woman? For I am sent to you with a harsh message.

nasb@1Kings:14:9 @you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back--

nasb@1Kings:14:10 @therefore behold, I am bringing calamity on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male person, both bond and free in Israel, and I will make a clean sweep of the house of Jeroboam, as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone.

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

nasb@1Kings:14:20 @The time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

nasb@1Kings:14:21 @Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

nasb@1Kings:14:23 @For they also built for themselves high places and sacred pillars and Asherim on every high hill and beneath every luxuriant tree.

nasb@1Kings:14:24 @There were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:14:26 @He took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house, and he took everything, even taking all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

nasb@1Kings:14:27 @So King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the care of the commanders of the guard who guarded the doorway of the king's house.

nasb@1Kings:14:31 @And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:1 @Now in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

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

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

nasb@1Kings:15:9 @So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa began to reign as king of Judah.

nasb@1Kings:15:12 @He also put away the male cult prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols which his fathers had made.

nasb@1Kings:15:13 @He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah; and Asa cut down her horrid image and burned it at the brook Kidron.

nasb@1Kings:15:18 @Then Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,

nasb@1Kings:15:19" @Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."

nasb@1Kings:15:20 @So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali.

nasb@1Kings:15:24 @And Asa slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:25 @Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

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

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

nasb@1Kings:15:29 @It came about as soon as he was king, he struck down all the household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam any persons alive, until he had destroyed them, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

nasb@1Kings:15:33 @In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel at Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.

nasb@1Kings:15:16 @Now the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

nasb@1Kings:15:3 @behold, I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nasb@1Kings:15:6 @And Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.

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

nasb@1Kings:15:8 @In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel at Tirzah, and reigned two years.

nasb@1Kings:15:11 @It came about when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave a single male, neither of his relatives nor of his friends.

nasb@1Kings:15:13 @for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and which they made Israel sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their idols.

nasb@1Kings:15:16 @The people who were camped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king." Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

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

nasb@1Kings:15:22 @But the people who followed Omri prevailed over the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. And Tibni died and Omri became king.

nasb@1Kings:15:26 @For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and in his sins which he made Israel sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel with their idols.

nasb@1Kings:15:28 @So Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:29 @Now Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

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

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

nasb@1Kings:15:32 @So he erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he built in Samaria.

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

nasb@1Kings:15:34 @In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho; he laid its foundations with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@1Kings:16:5 @So he went and did according to the word of the LORD, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.

nasb@1Kings:16:10 @So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink."

nasb@1Kings:16:12 @But she said, " As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."

nasb@1Kings:16:13 @Then Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.

nasb@1Kings:16:15 @So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days.

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

nasb@1Kings:16:18 @So she said to Elijah, " What do I have to do with you, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my iniquity to remembrance and to put my son to death!"

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

nasb@1Kings:16:20 @He called to the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, have You also brought calamity to the widow with whom I am staying, by causing her son to die?"

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

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

nasb@1Kings:17:5 @Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle."

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

nasb@1Kings:17:12" @It will come about when I leave you that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you where I do not know; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.

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

nasb@1Kings:17:20 @So Ahab sent a message among all the sons of Israel and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel.

nasb@1Kings:17:25 @So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one ox for yourselves and prepare it first for you are many, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it."

nasb@1Kings:17:28 @So they cried with a loud voice and cut themselves according to their custom with swords and lances until the blood gushed out on them.

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

nasb@1Kings:17:31 @Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, " Israel shall be your name."

nasb@1Kings:17:32 @So with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he made a trench around the altar, large enough to hold two measures of seed.

nasb@1Kings:17:35 @The water flowed around the altar and he also filled the trench with water.

nasb@1Kings:17:40 @Then Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape." So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

nasb@1Kings:17:41 @Now Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower."

nasb@1Kings:17:42 @So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees.

nasb@1Kings:17:43 @He said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go back" seven times.

nasb@1Kings:17:44 @It came about at the seventh time, that he said, "Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.'"

nasb@1Kings:18:2 @Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, " So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

nasb@1Kings:18:6 @Then he looked and behold, there was at his head a bread cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again.

nasb@1Kings:18:8 @So he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God.

nasb@1Kings:18:10 @He said, " I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

nasb@1Kings:18:11 @So He said, " Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

nasb@1Kings:18:12 @After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing.

nasb@1Kings:18:14 @Then he said, " I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

nasb@1Kings:18:16 @and Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

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

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

nasb@1Kings:19:3 @'Your silver and your gold are mine; your most beautiful wives and children are also mine.'"

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

nasb@1Kings:19:10 @Ben-hadad sent to him and said, "May the gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria will suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."

nasb@1Kings:19:12 @When Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking with the kings in the temporary shelters, he said to his servants, "Station yourselves." So they stationed themselves against the city.

nasb@1Kings:19:14 @Ahab said, "By whom?" So he said, "Thus says the LORD, 'By the young men of the rulers of the provinces.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" And he answered, "You."

nasb@1Kings:19:15 @Then he mustered the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and there were 232; and after them he mustered all the people, even all the sons of Israel, 7,000.

nasb@1Kings:19:19 @So these went out from the city, the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and the army which followed them.

nasb@1Kings:19:25 @and muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they." And he listened to their voice and did so.

nasb@1Kings:19:27 @The sons of Israel were mustered and were provisioned and went to meet them; and the sons of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the country.

nasb@1Kings:19:29 @So they camped one over against the other seven days. And on the seventh day the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel killed of the Arameans 100,000 foot soldiers in one day.

nasb@1Kings:19:32 @So they girded sackcloth on their loins and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, " Your servant Ben-hadad says, 'Please let me live.'" And he said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

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

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

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

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

nasb@1Kings:19:39 @As the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, 'Guard this man; if for any reason he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'

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

nasb@1Kings:19:43 @So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.

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

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

nasb@1Kings:20:6 @So he said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in its place.' But he said, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"

nasb@1Kings:20:8 @So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent letters to the elders and to the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city.

nasb@1Kings:20:11 @So the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent word to them, just as it was written in the letters which she had sent them.

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

nasb@1Kings:20:19" @You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, " Have you murdered and also taken possession?"' And you shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, " In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth the dogs will lick up your blood, even yours."'"

nasb@1Kings:20:20 @Ahab said to Elijah, " Have you found me, O my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:20:22 @and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and because you have made Israel sin.

nasb@1Kings:20:23" @Of Jezebel also has the LORD spoken, saying, ' The dogs will eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.'

nasb@1Kings:20:25 @Surely there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife incited him.

nasb@1Kings:20:26 @He acted very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the LORD cast out before the sons of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:20:29" @Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before MeNULL Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but I will bring the evil upon his house in his son's days."

nasb@1Kings:21:8 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

nasb@1Kings:21:9 @Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah son of Imlah."

nasb@1Kings:21:11 @Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, "Thus says the LORD, ' With these you will gore the Arameans until they are consumed.'"

nasb@1Kings:21:17 @So he said, "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no shepherd. And the LORD said, 'These have no master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'"

nasb@1Kings:21:22" @The LORD said to him, 'How?' And he said, 'I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.'

nasb@1Kings:21:24 @Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, " How did the Spirit of the LORD pass from me to speak to you?"

nasb@1Kings:21:26 @Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

nasb@1Kings:21:27 @and say, 'Thus says the king, " Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely."'"

nasb@1Kings:21:29 @So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.

nasb@1Kings:21:30 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, " I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.

nasb@1Kings:21:32 @So when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "Surely it is the king of Israel," and they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.

nasb@1Kings:21:34 @Now a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel in a joint of the armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around and take me out of the fight; for I am severely wounded."

nasb@1Kings:21:37 @So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:21:40 @So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:21:41 @Now Jehoshaphat the son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:21:44 @Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:21:46 @The remnant of the sodomites who remained in the days of his father Asa, he expelled from the land.

nasb@2Kings:1:2 @And Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber which was in Samaria, and became ill. So he sent messengers and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this sickness."

nasb@2Kings:1:11 @So he again sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he said to him, "O man of God, thus says the king, 'Come down quickly.'"

nasb@2Kings:1:13 @So he again sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. When the third captain of fifty went up, he came and bowed down on his knees before Elijah, and begged him and said to him, "O man of God, please let my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight.

nasb@2Kings:1:15 @The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of him." So he arose and went down with him to the king.

nasb@2Kings:1:17 @So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And because he had no son, Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.

nasb@2Kings:2:2 @Elijah said to Elisha, " Stay here please, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." But Elisha said, " As the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.

nasb@2Kings:2:3 @Then the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he said, "Yes, I know; be still."

nasb@2Kings:2:4 @Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho." But he said, " As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho.

nasb@2Kings:2:5 @The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, " Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he answered, "Yes, I know; be still."

nasb@2Kings:2:7 @Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.

nasb@2Kings:2:8 @Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

nasb@2Kings:2:10 @He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."

nasb@2Kings:2:13 @He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

nasb@2Kings:2:14 @He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over.

nasb@2Kings:2:15 @Now when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

nasb@2Kings:2:16 @They said to him, "Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men, please let them go and search for your master; perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him on some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send."

nasb@2Kings:2:22 @So the waters have been purified to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.

nasb@2Kings:3:1 @Now Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

nasb@2Kings:3:3 @Nevertheless, he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.

nasb@2Kings:3:12 @Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the LORD is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

nasb@2Kings:3:27 @Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land.

nasb@2Kings:4:25 @So she went and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, there is the Shunammite.

nasb@2Kings:4:27 @When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me."

nasb@2Kings:4:28 @Then she said, "Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, ' Do not deceive me'?"

nasb@2Kings:4:31 @Then Gehazi passed on before them and laid the staff on the lad's face, but there was no sound or response. So he returned to meet him and told him, "The lad has not awakened."

nasb@2Kings:4:33 @So he entered and shut the door behind them both and prayed to the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:4:36 @He called Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, "Take up your son."

nasb@2Kings:4:37 @Then she went in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground, and she took up her son and went out.

nasb@2Kings:4:38 @When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he said to his servant, " Put on the large pot and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."

nasb@2Kings:4:40 @So they poured it out for the men to eat. And as they were eating of the stew, they cried out and said, "O man of God, there is death in the pot." And they were unable to eat.

nasb@2Kings:4:43 @His attendant said, "What, will I set this before a hundred men?" But he said, "Give them to the people that they may eat, for thus says the LORD, 'They shall eat and have some left over.'"

nasb@2Kings:4:44 @So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.

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

nasb@2Kings:5:9 @So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha.

nasb@2Kings:5:12" @Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage.

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

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

nasb@2Kings:5:15 @When he returned to the man of God with all his company, and came and stood before him, he said, "Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; so please take a present from your servant now."

nasb@2Kings:5:19 @He said to him, " Go in peace." So he departed from him some distance.

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

nasb@2Kings:5:21 @So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him and said, "Is all well?"

nasb@2Kings:5:22 @He said, " All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'"

nasb@2Kings:5:27" @Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever." So he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

nasb@2Kings:5:6 @Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Behold now, the place before you where we are living is too limited for us.

nasb@2Kings:5:2" @Please let us go to the Jordan and each of us take from there a beam, and let us make a place there for ourselves where we may live." So he said, "Go."

nasb@2Kings:5:4 @So he went with them; and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.

nasb@2Kings:5:7 @He said, "Take it up for yourself." So he put out his hand and took it.

nasb@2Kings:5:10 @The king of Israel sent to the place about which the man of God had told him; thus he warned him, so that he guarded himself there, more than once or twice.

nasb@2Kings:5:13 @So he said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and take him." And it was told him, saying, "Behold, he is in Dothan."

nasb@2Kings:5:16 @So he answered, " Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."

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

nasb@2Kings:5:20 @When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, "O LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." So the LORD opened their eyes and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:5:23 @So he prepared a great feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.

nasb@2Kings:5:25 @There was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until a donkey's head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a fourth of a kab of dove's dung for five shekels of silver.

nasb@2Kings:5:28 @And the king said to her, " What is the matter with you?" And she answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'

nasb@2Kings:5:29" @ So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him'; but she has hidden her son."

nasb@2Kings:5:31 @Then he said, "May God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today."

nasb@2Kings:5:32 @Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from his presence; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"

nasb@2Kings:6:1 @Then Elisha said, "Listen to the word of the LORD; thus says the LORD, ' Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'"

nasb@2Kings:6:4" @If we say, 'We will enter the city,' then the famine is in the city and we will die there; and if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they spare us, we will live; and if they kill us, we will but die."

nasb@2Kings:6:6 @For the Lord had caused the army of the Arameans to hear a sound of chariots and a sound of horses, even the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, "Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us."

nasb@2Kings:6:8 @When these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they entered one tent and ate and drank, and carried from there silver and gold and clothes, and went and hid them; and they returned and entered another tent and carried from there also, and went and hid them.

nasb@2Kings:6:10 @So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and behold, there was no one there, nor the voice of man, only the horses tied and the donkeys tied, and the tents just as they were."

nasb@2Kings:6:13 @One of his servants said, "Please, let some men take five of the horses which remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it; behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who have already perished, so let us send and see."

nasb@2Kings:6:16 @So the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. Then a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:6:18 @It happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, " Two measures of barley for a shekel and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, will be sold tomorrow about this time at the gate of Samaria."

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

nasb@2Kings:7:1 @Now Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise and go with your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn; for the LORD has called for a famine, and it will even come on the land for seven years."

nasb@2Kings:7:2 @So the woman arose and did according to the word of the man of God, and she went with her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

nasb@2Kings:7:5 @As he was relating to the king how he had restored to life the one who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for her house and for her field. And Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."

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

nasb@2Kings:7:9 @So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand, even every kind of good thing of Damascus, forty camels' loads; and he came and stood before him and said, " Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"

nasb@2Kings:7:12 @Hazael said, "Why does my lord weep?" Then he answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel- their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their little ones you will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up."

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

nasb@2Kings:7:15 @On the following day, he took the cover and dipped it in water and spread it on his face, so that he died. And Hazael became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:7:16 @Now in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then the king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah became king.

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

nasb@2Kings:7:22 @So Edom revolted against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

nasb@2Kings:7:24 @So Joram slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:7:25 @In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

nasb@2Kings:7:27 @He walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab had done, because he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

nasb@2Kings:7:28 @Then he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.

nasb@2Kings:7:29 @So King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was sick.

nasb@2Kings:7:9 @Now Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, " Gird up your loins, and take this flask of oil in your hand and go to Ramoth-gilead.

nasb@2Kings:7:2" @When you arrive there, search out Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and bid him arise from among his brothers, and bring him to an inner room.

nasb@2Kings:7:4 @So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.

nasb@2Kings:7:8 @'For the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male person both bond and free in Israel.

nasb@2Kings:7:9 @' I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.

nasb@2Kings:7:14 @So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. Now Joram with all Israel was defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram,

nasb@2Kings:7:15 @but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. So Jehu said, "If this is your mind, then let no one escape or leave the city to go tell it in Jezreel."

nasb@2Kings:7:18 @So a horseman went to meet him and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" And Jehu said, " What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me." And the watchman reported, "The messenger came to them, but he did not return."

nasb@2Kings:7:20 @The watchman reported, "He came even to them, and he did not return; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously."

nasb@2Kings:7:22 @When Joram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" And he answered, "What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?"

nasb@2Kings:7:23 @So Joram reined about and fled and said to Ahaziah, " There is treachery, O Ahaziah!"

nasb@2Kings:7:26 @'Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,' says the LORD, 'and I will repay you in this property,' says the LORD. Now then, take and cast him into the property, according to the word of the LORD."

nasb@2Kings:7:27 @When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him and said, "Shoot him too, in the chariot." So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.

nasb@2Kings:7:29 @Now in the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.

nasb@2Kings:7:33 @He said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her under foot.

nasb@2Kings:7:37 @and the corpse of Jezebel will be as dung on the face of the field in the property of Jezreel, so they cannot say, "This is Jezebel."'"

nasb@2Kings:7:10 @Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, the elders, and to the guardians of the children of Ahab, saying,

nasb@2Kings:7:2" @Now, when this letter comes to you, since your master's sons are with you, as well as the chariots and horses and a fortified city and the weapons,

nasb@2Kings:7:3 @select the best and fittest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house."

nasb@2Kings:7:6 @Then he wrote a letter to them a second time saying, "If you are on my side, and you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men, your master's sons, and come to me at Jezreel tomorrow about this time." Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who were rearing them.

nasb@2Kings:7:7 @When the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezreel.

nasb@2Kings:7:8 @When the messenger came and told him, saying, "They have brought the heads of the king's sons," he said, "Put them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning."

nasb@2Kings:7:11 @So Jehu killed all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men and his acquaintances and his priests, until he left him without a survivor.

nasb@2Kings:7:13 @Jehu met the relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and said, "Who are you?" And they answered, "We are the relatives of Ahaziah; and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the queen mother."

nasb@2Kings:7:14 @He said, "Take them alive." So they took them alive and killed them at the pit of Beth-eked, forty-two men; and he left none of them.

nasb@2Kings:7:15 @Now when he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he greeted him and said to him, "Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?" And Jehonadab answered, "It is." Jehu said, "If it is, give me your hand." And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.

nasb@2Kings:7:16 @He said, "Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD." So he made him ride in his chariot.

nasb@2Kings:7:19" @Now, summon all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers and all his priests; let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal; whoever is missing shall not live." But Jehu did it in cunning, so that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal.

nasb@2Kings:7:20 @And Jehu said, " Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal." And they proclaimed it.

nasb@2Kings:7:21 @Then Jehu sent throughout Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And when they went into the house of Baal, the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.

nasb@2Kings:7:22 @He said to the one who was in charge of the wardrobe, "Bring out garments for all the worshipers of Baal." So he brought out garments for them.

nasb@2Kings:7:23 @Jehu went into the house of Baal with Jehonadab the son of Rechab; and he said to the worshipers of Baal, "Search and see that there is here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but only the worshipers of Baal."

nasb@2Kings:7:25 @Then it came about, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the royal officers, " Go in, kill them; let none come out." And they killed them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the royal officers threw them out, and went to the inner room of the house of Baal.

nasb@2Kings:7:27 @They also broke down the sacred pillar of Baal and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine to this day.

nasb@2Kings:7:29 @However, as for the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin, from these Jehu did not depart, even the golden calves that were at Bethel and that were at Dan.

nasb@2Kings:7:30 @The LORD said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in executing what is right in My eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in My heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel."

nasb@2Kings:7:35 @And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:8:1 @When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose and destroyed all the royal offspring.

nasb@2Kings:8:2 @But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons who were being put to death, and placed him and his nurse in the bedroom. So they hid him from Athaliah, and he was not put to death.

nasb@2Kings:8:3 @So he was hidden with her in the house of the LORD six years, while Athaliah was reigning over the land.

nasb@2Kings:8:4 @Now in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the captains of hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him in the house of the LORD. Then he made a covenant with them and put them under oath in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.

nasb@2Kings:8:6 @(one third also shall be at the gate Sur, and one third at the gate behind the guards), shall keep watch over the house for defense.

nasb@2Kings:12:8 @In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in Samaria for six months.

nasb@2Kings:12:9 @He did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers had done; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin.

nasb@2Kings:12:10 @Then Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.

nasb@2Kings:12:12 @This is the word of the LORD which He spoke to Jehu, saying, "Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel." And so it was.

nasb@2Kings:12:13 @Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned one month in Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:12:14 @Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him and became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:12:17 @In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became king over Israel and reigned ten years in Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:12:18 @He did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin.

nasb@2Kings:12:19 @Pul, king of Assyria, came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver so that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom under his rule.

nasb@2Kings:12:20 @Then Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver to pay the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria returned and did not remain there in the land.

nasb@2Kings:12:25 @Then Pekah son of Remaliah, his officer, conspired against him and struck him in Samaria, in the castle of the king's house with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites, and he killed him and became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:12:27 @In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.

nasb@2Kings:12:28 @He did evil in the sight of the LORD; he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he made Israel sin.

nasb@2Kings:12:30 @And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck him and put him to death and became king in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

nasb@2Kings:12:32 @In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah became king.

nasb@2Kings:12:37 @In those days the LORD began to send Rezin king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.

nasb@2Kings:12:38 @And Jotham slept with his fathers, and he was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:13:1 @In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, became king.

nasb@2Kings:13:3 @But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had driven out from before the sons of Israel.

nasb@2Kings:13:5 @Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to wage war; and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

nasb@2Kings:13:7 @So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son; come up and deliver me from the hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me."

nasb@2Kings:13:9 @So the king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and captured it, and carried the people of it away into exile to Kir, and put Rezin to death.

nasb@2Kings:13:11 @So Urijah the priest built an altar; according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, thus Urijah the priest made it, before the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus.

nasb@2Kings:13:16 @So Urijah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz commanded.

nasb@2Kings:13:17 @Then King Ahaz cut off the borders of the stands, and removed the laver from them; he also took down the sea from the bronze oxen which were under it and put it on a pavement of stone.

nasb@2Kings:13:20 @So Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.

nasb@2Kings:14:1 @In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah became king over Israel in Samaria, and reigned nine years.

nasb@2Kings:14:4 @But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea, who had sent messengers to So king of Egypt and had offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; so the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.

nasb@2Kings:14:7 @Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and they had feared other gods

nasb@2Kings:14:8 @and walked in the customs of the nations whom the LORD had driven out before the sons of Israel, and in the customs of the kings of Israel which they had introduced.

nasb@2Kings:14:9 @The sons of Israel did things secretly which were not right against the LORD their God. Moreover, they built for themselves high places in all their towns, from watchtower to fortified city.

nasb@2Kings:14:16 @They forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal.

nasb@2Kings:14:17 @Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and practiced divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him.

nasb@2Kings:14:18 @So the LORD was very angry with Israel and removed them from His sight; none was left except the tribe of Judah.

nasb@2Kings:14:19 @Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the customs which Israel had introduced.

nasb@2Kings:14:21 @When He had torn Israel from the house of David, they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel away from following the LORD and made them commit a great sin.

nasb@2Kings:14:22 @The sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them

nasb@2Kings:14:23 @until the LORD removed Israel from His sight, as He spoke through all His servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away into exile from their own land to Assyria until this day.

nasb@2Kings:14:24 @The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sephar-vaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.

nasb@2Kings:14:25 @At the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them which killed some of them.

nasb@2Kings:14:26 @So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations whom you have carried away into exile in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the god of the land; so he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them because they do not know the custom of the god of the land."

nasb@2Kings:14:28 @So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:14:32 @They also feared the LORD and appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who acted for them in the houses of the high places.

nasb@2Kings:14:34 @To this day they do according to the earlier customs- they do not fear the LORD, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances or the law, or the commandments which the LORD commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He named Israel;

nasb@2Kings:14:41 @So while these nations feared the LORD, they also served their idols; their children likewise and their grandchildren, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.

nasb@2Kings:15:1 @Now it came about in the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah became king.

nasb@2Kings:15:4 @He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan.

nasb@2Kings:15:5 @He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel; so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among those who were before him.

nasb@2Kings:15:9 @Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

nasb@2Kings:15:14 @Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, " I have done wrong. Withdraw from me; whatever you impose on me I will bear." So the king of Assyria required of Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

nasb@2Kings:15:17 @Then the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a large army to Jerusalem. So they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they went up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the fuller's field.

nasb@2Kings:15:18 @When they called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to them.

nasb@2Kings:15:21" @Now behold, you rely on the staff of this crushed reed, even on Egypt; on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who rely on him.

nasb@2Kings:15:26 @Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, "Speak now to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak with us in Judean in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."

nasb@2Kings:15:37 @Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

nasb@2Kings:16:2 @Then he sent Eliakim who was over the household with Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

nasb@2Kings:16:5 @So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

nasb@2Kings:16:7" @Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will make him fall by the sword in his own land."'"

nasb@2Kings:16:11 @'Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, destroying them completely. So will you be spared?

nasb@2Kings:16:12 @' Did the gods of those nations which my fathers destroyed deliver them, even Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?

nasb@2Kings:16:18 @and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them.

nasb@2Kings:16:20 @Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Because you have prayed to Me about Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you.'

nasb@2Kings:16:24" @I dug wells and drank foreign waters, And with the sole of my feet I dried up All the rivers of Egypt."

nasb@2Kings:16:29 @'Then this shall be the sign for you- you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.

nasb@2Kings:16:36 @So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned home, and lived at Nineveh.

nasb@2Kings:16:37 @It came about as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:17:1 @In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, ' Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.'"

nasb@2Kings:17:10 @So Hezekiah answered, "It is easy for the shadow to decline ten steps; no, but let the shadow turn backward ten steps."

nasb@2Kings:17:12 @At that time Berodach-baladan a son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

nasb@2Kings:17:15 @He said, "What have they seen in your house?" So Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasuries that I have not shown them."

nasb@2Kings:17:18 @'Some of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you will beget, will be taken away; and they will become officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"

nasb@2Kings:17:19 @Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good." For he thought, "Is it not so, if there will be peace and truth in my days?"

nasb@2Kings:17:21 @So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and Manasseh his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:18:2 @He did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

nasb@2Kings:18:6 @He made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and used divination, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD provoking Him to anger.

nasb@2Kings:18:7 @Then he set the carved image of Asherah that he had made, in the house of which the LORD said to David and to his son Solomon, " In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever.

nasb@2Kings:18:9 @But they did not listen, and Manasseh seduced them to do evil more than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the sons of Israel.

nasb@2Kings:18:11" @ Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, having done wickedly more than all the Amorites did who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols;

nasb@2Kings:18:18 @And Manasseh slept with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza, and Amon his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:18:22 @So he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:18:24 @Then the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:18:26 @He was buried in his grave in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:19:3 @Now in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam the scribe, to the house of the LORD saying,

nasb@2Kings:19:6 @to the carpenters and the builders and the masons and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house.

nasb@2Kings:19:12 @Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Achbor the son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant saying,

nasb@2Kings:19:14 @So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter); and they spoke to her.

nasb@2Kings:19:19 @because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants that they should become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I truly have heard you," declares the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:19:20" @Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place."'" So they brought back word to the king.

nasb@2Kings:20:3 @The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.

nasb@2Kings:20:5 @He did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding area of Jerusalem, also those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all the host of heaven.

nasb@2Kings:20:7 @He also broke down the houses of the male cult prostitutes which were in the house of the LORD, where the women were weaving hangings for the Asherah.

nasb@2Kings:20:10 @He also defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire for Molech.

nasb@2Kings:20:13 @The high places which were before Jerusalem, which were on the right of the mount of destruction which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.

nasb@2Kings:20:15 @Furthermore, the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down. Then he demolished its stones, ground them to dust, and burned the Asherah.

nasb@2Kings:20:18 @He said, "Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones." So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:20:19 @Josiah also removed all the houses of the high places which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made provoking the LORD; and he did to them just as he had done in Bethel.

nasb@2Kings:20:21 @Then the king commanded all the people saying, " Celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God as it is written in this book of the covenant."

nasb@2Kings:20:22 @Surely such a Passover had not been celebrated from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel and of the kings of Judah.

nasb@2Kings:20:23 @But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was observed to the LORD in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Kings:20:25 @Before him there was no king like him who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him.

nasb@2Kings:20:27 @The LORD said, "I will remove Judah also from My sight, as I have removed Israel. And I will cast off Jerusalem, this city which I have chosen, and the temple of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"

nasb@2Kings:20:30 @His servants drove his body in a chariot from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and anointed him and made him king in place of his father.

nasb@2Kings:20:33 @Pharaoh Neco imprisoned him at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and he imposed on the land a fine of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

nasb@2Kings:20:34 @Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.

nasb@2Kings:20:35 @So Jehoiakim gave the silver and gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land in order to give the money at the command of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land, each according to his valuation, to give it to Pharaoh Neco.

nasb@2Kings:21:2 @The LORD sent against him bands of Chaldeans, bands of Arameans, bands of Moabites, and bands of Ammonites. So He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken through His servants the prophets.

nasb@2Kings:21:4 @and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the LORD would not forgive.

nasb@2Kings:21:6 @So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:21:12 @Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother and his servants and his captains and his officials. So the king of Babylon took him captive in the eighth year of his reign.

nasb@2Kings:21:13 @He carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, just as the LORD had said.

nasb@2Kings:21:15 @So he led Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon; also the king's mother and the king's wives and his officials and the leading men of the land, he led away into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.

nasb@2Kings:22:2 @So the city was under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

nasb@2Kings:22:3 @On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

nasb@2Kings:22:7 @They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, then put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him with bronze fetters and brought him to Babylon.

nasb@2Kings:22:10 @So all the army of the Chaldeans who were with the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.

nasb@2Kings:22:21 @Then the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was led away into exile from its land.

nasb@2Kings:22:22 @Now as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan over them.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:23 @So they and their sons had charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, even the house of the tent, as guards.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:24 @The gatekeepers were on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:28 @Now some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they counted them when they brought them in and when they took them out.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:29 @Some of them also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:30 @Some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:32 @Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites were over the showbread to prepare it every sabbath.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:44 @Azel had six sons whose names are these- Azrikam, Bocheru and Ishmael and Sheariah and Obadiah and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:2 @The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:6 @Thus Saul died with his three sons, and all those of his house died together.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:7 @When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:8 @It came about the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:9 @So they stripped him and took his head and his armor and sent messengers around the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:12 @all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh, and they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:13 @So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,

nasb@1Chronicles:10:14 @and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore He killed him and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:3 @So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:6 @Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:11 @These constitute the list of the mighty men whom David had- Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed at one time.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:12 @After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:16 @David was then in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:17 @David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"

nasb@1Chronicles:10:18 @So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD;

nasb@1Chronicles:10:22 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:19 @From Manasseh also some defected to David when he was about to go to battle with the Philistines against Saul. But they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines after consultation sent him away, saying, "At the cost of our heads he may defect to his master Saul."

nasb@1Chronicles:11:32 @Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:38 @All these, being men of war who could draw up in battle formation, came to Hebron with a perfect heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one mind to make David king.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:2 @David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is from the LORD our God, let us send everywhere to our kinsmen who remain in all the land of Israel, also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, that they may meet with us;

nasb@1Chronicles:12:4 @Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:5 @So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:8 @David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, even with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals and with trumpets.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:10 @The anger of the LORD burned against Uzza, so He struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:13 @So David did not take the ark with him to the city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:1 @Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons and carpenters, to build a house for him.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:3 @Then David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:4 @These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem- Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

nasb@1Chronicles:13:11 @So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:12 @They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:15" @It shall be when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God will have gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."

nasb@1Chronicles:14:4 @David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites-

nasb@1Chronicles:14:5 @of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and 120 of his relatives;

nasb@1Chronicles:14:10 @of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and 112 of his relatives.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:14 @So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:15 @The sons of the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:16 @Then David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their relatives the singers, with instruments of music, harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:17 @So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel, and from his relatives, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and from the sons of Merari their relatives, Ethan the son of Kushaiah,

nasb@1Chronicles:14:19 @So the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan were appointed to sound aloud cymbals of bronze;

nasb@1Chronicles:14:24 @Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah also were gatekeepers for the ark.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:25 @So it was David, with the elders of Israel and the captains over thousands, who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom with joy.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:27 @Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen with all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers. David also wore an ephod of linen.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:28 @Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the horn, with trumpets, with loud-sounding cymbals, with harps and lyres.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:4 @He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, even to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel-

nasb@1Chronicles:15:5 @Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,

nasb@1Chronicles:15:13 @O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

nasb@1Chronicles:15:17 @He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

nasb@1Chronicles:15:25 @For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:37 @So he left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;

nasb@1Chronicles:15:38 @and Obed-edom with his 68 relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as gatekeepers.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:42 @And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:9" @I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly,

nasb@1Chronicles:16:13" @ I will be his father and he shall be My son; and I will not take My lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:15 @According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:3 @David also defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his rule to the Euphrates River.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:4 @David took from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:6 @Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:8 @Also from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a very large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the bronze utensils.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:10 @he sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had defeated him; for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. And Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:11 @King David also dedicated these to the LORD with the silver and the gold which he had carried away from all the nations- from Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon, the Philistines, and from Amalek.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:12 @Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah defeated 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:13 @Then he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:14 @So David reigned over all Israel; and he administered justice and righteousness for all his people.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:15 @Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

nasb@1Chronicles:17:16 @and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was secretary;

nasb@1Chronicles:17:17 @and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and the sons of David were chiefs at the king's side.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:1 @Now it came about after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:2 @Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun to console him.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:3 @But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David is honoring your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nasb@1Chronicles:18:4 @So Hanun took David's servants and shaved them and cut off their garments in the middle as far as their hips, and sent them away.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:5 @Then certain persons went and told David about the men. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then return."

nasb@1Chronicles:18:6 @When the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent 1,000 talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah and from Zobah.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:7 @So they hired for themselves 32,000 chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. And the sons of Ammon gathered together from their cities and came to battle.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:9 @The sons of Ammon came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:11 @But the remainder of the people he placed in the hand of Abshai his brother; and they arrayed themselves against the sons of Ammon.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:12 @He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:14 @So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans, and they fled before him.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:15 @When the sons of Ammon saw that the Arameans fled, they also fled before Abshai his brother and entered the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:18 @The Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed of the Arameans 7,000 charioteers and 40,000 foot soldiers, and put to death Shophach the commander of the army.

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:19:1 @Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

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:19:5 @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:19:6 @Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:7 @When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:2 @So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, " Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number."

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

nasb@1Chronicles:20:11 @So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Take for yourself

nasb@1Chronicles:20:15 @And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it, the LORD saw and was sorry over the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now relax your hand."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:19 @So David went up at the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.

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:20:25 @So David gave Ornan 600 shekels of gold by weight for the site.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:2 @So David gave orders to gather the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, and he set stonecutters to hew out stones to build the house of God.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:5 @David said, "My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the LORD shall be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all lands.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:6 @Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:7 @David said to Solomon, " My son, I had intended to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:8" @But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ' You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:1 @Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:10 @The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:11 @Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father's household, one class.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:12 @The sons of Kohath were four- Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:13 @The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him and to bless in His name forever.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:14 @But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:15 @The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:1 @Now the divisions of the descendants of Aaron were these- the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:2 @But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:3 @David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their ministry.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:6 @Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' households of the priests and of the Levites; one father's household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:20 @Now for the rest of the sons of Levi- of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:28 @By Mahli- Eleazar, who had no sons.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:29 @By Kish- the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:30 @The sons of Mushi- Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers' households.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:31 @These also cast lots just as their relatives the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' households of the priests and of the Levites--the head of fathers' households as well as those of his younger brother.

nasb@1Chronicles:24:1 @Moreover, David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service some of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps and cymbals; and the number of those who performed their service was-

nasb@1Chronicles:24:2 @Of the sons of Asaph- Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied under the direction of the king.

nasb@1Chronicles:24:3 @Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun- Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:24:5 @All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer to exalt him according to the words of God, for God gave fourteen sons and three daughters to Heman.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:24 @Joab the son of Zeruiah had begun to count them, but did not finish; and because of this, wrath came upon Israel, and the number was not included in the account of the chronicles of King David.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:25 @Now Azmaveth the son of Adiel had charge of the king's storehouses. And Jonathan the son of Uzziah had charge of the storehouses in the country, in the cities, in the villages and in the towers.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:26 @Ezri the son of Chelub had charge of the agricultural workers who tilled the soil.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:29 @Shitrai the Sharonite had charge of the cattle which were grazing in Sharon; and Shaphat the son of Adlai had charge of the cattle in the valleys.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:32 @Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni tutored the king's sons.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:34 @Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar succeeded Ahithophel; and Joab was the commander of the king's army.

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@1Chronicles:27:2 @Then King David rose to his feet and said, "Listen to me, my brethren and my people; I had intended to build a permanent home for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and for the footstool of our God. So I had made preparations to build it.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:4" @Yet, the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me from all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For He has chosen Judah to be a leader; and in the house of Judah, my father's house, and among the sons of my father He took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:5" @ Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:6" @He said to me, 'Your son Solomon is the one who shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be a son to Me, and I will be a father to him.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:7 @'I will establish his kingdom forever if he resolutely performs My commandments and My ordinances, as is done now.'

nasb@1Chronicles:27:8" @So now, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek after all the commandments of the LORD your God so that you may possess the good land and bequeath it to your sons after you forever.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:9" @As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:11 @Then David gave to his son Solomon the plan of the porch of the temple, its buildings, its storehouses, its upper rooms, its inner rooms and the room for the mercy seat;

nasb@1Chronicles:27:13 @also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD and for all the utensils of service in the house of the LORD;

nasb@1Chronicles:27:20 @Then David said to his son Solomon, " Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:21" @Now behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of any skill will be with you in all the work for all kinds of service. The officials also and all the people will be entirely at your command."

nasb@1Chronicles:27:29 @Then King David said to the entire assembly, "My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for the temple is not for man, but for the LORD God.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:9 @Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the LORD with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:10 @So David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly; and David said, "Blessed are You, O LORD God of Israel our father, forever and ever.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:15" @For we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:17" @Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:19 @and give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all, and to build the temple, for which I have made provision."

nasb@1Chronicles:27:22 @So they ate and drank that day before the LORD with great gladness.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:23 @Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:24 @All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance to King Solomon.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:25 @The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:26 @Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:28 @Then he died in a ripe old age, full of days, riches and honor; and his son Solomon reigned in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:1 @Now Solomon the son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and exalted him greatly.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:2 @Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' households.

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:1:5 @Now the bronze altar, which Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD, and Solomon and the assembly sought it out.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:6 @Solomon went up there before the LORD to the bronze altar which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:7 @In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you."

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:1:11 @God said to Solomon, "Because you had this in mind, and did not ask for riches, wealth or honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor have you even asked for long life, but you have asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may rule My people over whom I have made you king,

nasb@2Chronicles:1:13 @So Solomon went from the high place which was at Gibeon, from the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.

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:1:16 @Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders procured them from Kue for a price.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:1 @Now Solomon decided to build a house for the name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:2 @So Solomon assigned 70,000 men to carry loads and 80,000 men to quarry stone in the mountains and 3,600 to supervise them.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:3 @Then Solomon sent word to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, " As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedars to build him a house to dwell in, so do for me.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:6" @But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? So who am I, that I should build a house for Him, except to burn incense before Him?

nasb@2Chronicles:2:7" @Now send me a skilled man to work in gold, silver, brass and iron, and in purple, crimson and violet fabrics, and who knows how to make engravings, to work with the skilled men whom I have in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:8" @ Send me also cedar, cypress and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber of Lebanon; and indeed my servants will work with your servants,

nasb@2Chronicles:2:11 @Then Huram, king of Tyre, answered in a letter sent to Solomon- " Because the LORD loves His people, He has made you king over them."

nasb@2Chronicles:2:12 @Then Huram continued, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who will build a house for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:14 @the son of a Danite woman and a Tyrian father, who knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone and wood, and in purple, violet, linen and crimson fabrics, and who knows how to make all kinds of engravings and to execute any design which may be assigned to him, to work with your skilled men and with those of my lord David your father.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:16" @ We will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon and bring it to you on rafts by sea to Joppa, so that you may carry it up to Jerusalem."

nasb@2Chronicles:2:17 @Solomon numbered all the aliens who were in the land of Israel, following the census which his father David had taken; and 153,600 were found.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:18 @He appointed 70,000 of them to carry loads and 80,000 to quarry stones in the mountains and 3,600 supervisors to make the people work.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:1 @Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:3 @Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:7 @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:3:9 @The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:14 @He made the veil of violet, purple, crimson and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:15 @He also made two pillars for the front of the house, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital on the top of each was five cubits.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:2 @Also he made the cast metal sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits and its circumference thirty cubits.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:4 @It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inwards.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:5 @It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold 3,000 baths.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:6 @He also made ten basins in which to wash, and he set five on the right side and five on the left to rinse things for the burnt offering; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:8 @He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred golden bowls.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:10 @He set the sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:11 @Huram also made the pails, the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of God-

nasb@2Chronicles:4:14 @He also made the stands and he made the basins on the stands,

nasb@2Chronicles:4:16 @The pails, the shovels, the forks and all its utensils, Huram-abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:18 @Thus Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:19 @Solomon also made all the things that were in the house of God- even the golden altar, the tables with the bread of the Presence on them,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:1 @Thus all the work that Solomon performed for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver and the gold and all the utensils, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:2 @Then Solomon assembled to Jerusalem the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' households of the sons of Israel, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:6 @And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:8 @For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering over the ark and its poles.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:9 @The poles were so long that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; and they are there to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:10 @There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:12 @and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets

nasb@2Chronicles:5:13 @in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the LORD saying, " He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting," then the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:14 @so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:6 @Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:9 @'Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he shall build the house for My name.'

nasb@2Chronicles:5:11" @There I have set the ark in which is the covenant of the LORD, which He made with the sons of Israel."

nasb@2Chronicles:5:13 @Now Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt on his knees in the presence of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:16" @Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David, my father, that which You have promised him, saying, ' You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way, to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.'

nasb@2Chronicles:5:30 @then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:32" @Also concerning the foreigner who is not from Your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for Your great name's sake and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:36" @When they sin against You ( for there is no man who does not sin) and You are angry with them and deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to a land far off or near,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:38 @if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land which You have given to their fathers and the city which You have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for Your name,

nasb@2Chronicles:6:1 @Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:3 @All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the LORD upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the LORD, saying, " Truly He is good, truly His lovingkindness is everlasting."

nasb@2Chronicles:6:5 @King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. Thus the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:6 @The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with the instruments of music to the LORD, which King David had made for giving praise to the LORD--"for His lovingkindness is everlasting"--whenever he gave praise by their means, while the priests on the other side blew trumpets; and all Israel was standing.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:7 @Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD, for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt offering, the grain offering and the fat.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:8 @So Solomon observed the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly who came from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:9 @On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar they observed seven days and the feast seven days.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:10 @Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their tents, rejoicing and happy of heart because of the goodness that the LORD had shown to David and to Solomon and to His people Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:11 @Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD and the king's palace, and successfully completed all that he had planned on doing in the house of the LORD and in his palace.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:12 @Then the LORD appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:13" @ If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,

nasb@2Chronicles:6:22" @And they will say, 'Because they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers who brought them from the land of Egypt, and they adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this adversity on them.'"

nasb@2Chronicles:7:1 @Now it came about at the end of the twenty years in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house

nasb@2Chronicles:7:2 @that he built the cities which Huram had given to him, and settled the sons of Israel there.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:3 @Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:5 @He also built upper Beth-horon and lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates and bars;

nasb@2Chronicles:7:6 @and Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:8 @namely, from their descendants who were left after them in the land whom the sons of Israel had not destroyed, them Solomon raised as forced laborers to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:9 @But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel; they were men of war, his chief captains and commanders of his chariots and his horsemen.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:10 @These were the chief officers of King Solomon, two hundred and fifty who ruled over the people.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:11 @Then Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy where the ark of the LORD has entered."

nasb@2Chronicles:7:12 @Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD which he had built before the porch;

nasb@2Chronicles:7:13 @and did so according to the daily rule, offering them up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, the new moons and the three annual feasts--the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:14 @Now according to the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their duties of praise and ministering before the priests according to the daily rule, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at every gate; for David the man of God had so commanded.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:16 @Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:17 @Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:18 @And Huram by his servants sent him ships and servants who knew the sea; and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and took from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought them to King Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:1 @Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with difficult questions. She had a very large retinue, with camels carrying spices and a large amount of gold and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was on her heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:2 @Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from Solomon which he did not explain to her.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:3 @When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house which he had built,

nasb@2Chronicles:8:9 @Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great amount of spices and precious stones; there had never been spice like that which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:10 @The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:12 @King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire which she requested besides a return for what she had brought to the king. Then she turned and went to her own land with her servants.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

nasb@2Chronicles:8:14 @besides that which the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:15 @King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold, using 600 shekels of beaten gold on each large shield.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:20 @All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:22 @So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:23 @And all the kings of the earth were seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:24 @They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses and mules, so much year by year.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:25 @Now Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:28 @And they were bringing horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all countries.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:29 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

nasb@2Chronicles:8:30 @Solomon reigned forty years in Jerusalem over all Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:31 @And Solomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David; and his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:2 @When Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), Jeroboam returned from Egypt.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:3 @So they sent and summoned him. When Jeroboam and all Israel came, they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:9:5 @He said to them, "Return to me again in three days." So the people departed.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:6 @Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?"

nasb@2Chronicles:9:8 @But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:9 @So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

nasb@2Chronicles:9:12 @So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had directed, saying, "Return to me on the third day."

nasb@2Chronicles:9:13 @The king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the elders.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:15 @So the king did not listen to the people, for it was a turn of events from God that the LORD might establish His word, which He spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:16 @When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them the people answered the king, saying, " What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel; Now look after your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:17 @But as for the sons of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:18 @Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the forced labor, and the sons of Israel stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam made haste to mount his chariot to flee to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:19 @So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:3" @Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:10:4 @'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up or fight against your relatives; return every man to his house, for this thing is from Me."'" So they listened to the words of the LORD and returned from going against Jeroboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:7 @Beth-zur, Soco, Adullam,

nasb@2Chronicles:10:11 @He also strengthened the fortresses and put officers in them and stores of food, oil and wine.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:12 @He put shields and spears in every city and strengthened them greatly. So he held Judah and Benjamin.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:14 @For the Levites left their pasture lands and their property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had excluded them from serving as priests to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:17 @They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam the son of Solomon for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:18 @Then Rehoboam took as a wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse,

nasb@2Chronicles:10:19 @and she bore him sons- Jeush, Shemariah and Zaham.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:21 @Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his other wives and concubines. For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines and fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:22 @Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah as head and leader among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:23 @He acted wisely and distributed some of his sons through all the territories of Judah and Benjamin to all the fortified cities, and he gave them food in abundance. And he sought many wives for them.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:1 @When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and strong, he and all Israel with him forsook the law of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:5 @Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD, ' You have forsaken Me, so I also have forsaken you to Shishak.'"

nasb@2Chronicles:11:6 @So the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and said, "The LORD is righteous."

nasb@2Chronicles:11:7 @When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, " They have humbled themselves so I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some measure of deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:8" @But they will become his slaves so that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."

nasb@2Chronicles:11:9 @So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's palace. He took everything; he even took the golden shields which Solomon had made.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:12 @And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and also conditions were good in Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:13 @So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:16 @And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David; and his son Abijah became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:5" @Do you not know that the LORD God of Israel gave the rule over Israel forever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt?

nasb@2Chronicles:12:6" @Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master,

nasb@2Chronicles:12:7 @and worthless men gathered about him, scoundrels, who proved too strong for Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and timid and could not hold his own against them.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:8" @So now you intend to resist the kingdom of the LORD through the sons of David, being a great multitude and having with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made for gods for you.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:9" @ Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of what are no gods.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:10" @But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the sons of Aaron are ministering to the LORD as priests, and the Levites attend to their work.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:12" @Now behold, God is with us at our head and His priests with the signal trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you will not succeed."

nasb@2Chronicles:12:13 @But Jeroboam had set an ambush to come from the rear, so that Israel was in front of Judah and the ambush was behind them.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:14 @When Judah turned around, behold, they were attacked both front and rear; so they cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:16 @When the sons of Israel fled before Judah, God gave them into their hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:17 @Abijah and his people defeated them with a great slaughter, so that 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:18 @Thus the sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the sons of Judah conquered because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:21 @But Abijah became powerful; and took fourteen wives to himself, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:1 @So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and his son Asa became king in his place. The land was undisturbed for ten years during his days.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:5 @He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah. And the kingdom was undisturbed under him.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:7 @For he said to Judah, " Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:13:11 @Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You."

nasb@2Chronicles:13:12 @So the LORD routed the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:13:15 @They also struck down those who owned livestock, and they carried away large numbers of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:1 @Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded,

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

nasb@2Chronicles:14:8 @Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD which was in front of the porch of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:10 @So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:12 @They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and soul;

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

nasb@2Chronicles:14:16 @He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her horrid image, crushed it and burned it at the brook Kidron.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:3" @Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."

nasb@2Chronicles:15:4 @So Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim and all the store cities of Naphtali.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:15:13 @So Asa slept with his fathers, having died in the forty-first year of his reign.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:1 @Jehoshaphat his son then became king in his place, and made his position over Israel firm.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:2 @He placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had captured.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:4 @but sought the God of his father, followed His commandments, and did not act as Israel did.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:5 @So the LORD established the kingdom in his control, and all Judah brought tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had great riches and honor.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:10 @Now the dread of the LORD was on all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:16:12 @So Jehoshaphat grew greater and greater, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.

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

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:17:8 @Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah, Imla's son."

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:17:16 @So he said, "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no shepherd; And the LORD said, 'These have no master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.'"

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

nasb@2Chronicles:17:23 @Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the LORD pass from me to speak to you?"

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:17:28 @So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:17:33 @A certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel in a joint of the armor. So he said to the driver of the chariot, "Turn around and take me out of the fight, for I am severely wounded."

nasb@2Chronicles:18:2 @Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, " Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD and so bring wrath on yourself from the LORD?

nasb@2Chronicles:18:3" @But there is some good in you, for you have removed the Asheroth from the land and you have set your heart to seek God."

nasb@2Chronicles:18:4 @So Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem and went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:8 @In Jerusalem also Jehoshaphat appointed some of the Levites and priests, and some of the heads of the fathers' households of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD and to judge disputes among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:10" @ Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brethren who live in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them so that they may not be guilty before the LORD, and wrath may not come on you and your brethren. Thus you shall do and you will not be guilty.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:11" @Behold, Amariah the chief priest will be over you in all that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all that pertains to the king. Also the Levites shall be officers before you. Act resolutely, and the LORD be with the upright."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:1 @Now it came about after this that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:2 @Then some came and reported to Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, out of Aram and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar (that is Engedi)."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:4 @So Judah gathered together to seek help from the LORD; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:6 @and he said, "O LORD, the God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? And are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:10" @Now behold, the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt (they turned aside from them and did not destroy them),

nasb@2Chronicles:19:14 @Then in the midst of the assembly the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite of the sons of Asaph;

nasb@2Chronicles:19:19 @The Levites, from the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel, with a very loud voice.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:22 @When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were routed.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:23 @For the sons of Ammon and Moab rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir destroying them completely; and when they had finished with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:25 @When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found much among them, including goods, garments and valuable things which they took for themselves, more than they could carry. And they were three days taking the spoil because there was so much.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:19:34 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first to last, behold, they are written in the annals of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:19:37 @Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." So the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:1 @Then Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:2 @He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat- Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azaryahu, Michael and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:20:10 @So Edom revolted against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time against his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:13 @but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot as the house of Ahab played the harlot, and you have also killed your brothers, your own family, who were better than you,

nasb@2Chronicles:20:14 @behold, the LORD is going to strike your people, your sons, your wives and all your possessions with a great calamity;

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:21:1 @Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:3 @He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:21:7 @Now the destruction of Ahaziah was from God, in that he went to Joram. For when he came, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:8 @It came about when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers ministering to Ahaziah, and slew them.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:21:10 @Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose and destroyed all the royal offspring of the house of Judah.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:22:3 @Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And Jehoiada said to them, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD has spoken concerning the sons of David.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:8 @So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each one of them took his men who were to come in on the sabbath, with those who were to go out on the sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest did not dismiss any of the divisions.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:22:13 @She looked, and behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpeters were beside the king. And all the people of the land rejoiced and blew trumpets, the singers with their musical instruments leading the praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!"

nasb@2Chronicles:22:15 @So they seized her, and when she arrived at the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's house, they put her to death there.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:19 @He stationed the gatekeepers of the house of the LORD, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:21 @So all of the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet. For they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:23:7 @For the sons of the wicked Athaliah had broken into the house of God and even used the holy things of the house of the LORD for the Baals.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:8 @So the king commanded, and they made a chest and set it outside by the gate of the house of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:12 @The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:13 @So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they restored the house of God according to its specifications and strengthened it.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:18 @They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols; so wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt.

nasb@2Chronicles:23:20 @Then the Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people and said to them, "Thus God has said, ' Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD and do not prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He has also forsaken you.'"

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

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

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

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:24:3 @Now it came about as soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, that he killed his servants who had slain his father the king.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:4 @However, he did not put their children to death, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, which the LORD commanded, saying, " Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor sons be put to death for fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:6 @He hired also 100,000 valiant warriors out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

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

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:24:12 @The sons of Judah also captured 10,000 alive and brought them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from the top of the cliff, so that they were all dashed to pieces.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:14 @Now after Amaziah came from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, set them up as his gods, bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:24:17 @Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us face each other."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:18 @Joash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, " The thorn bush which was in Lebanon sent to the cedar which was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage.' But there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon and trampled the thorn bush.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:19" @You said, 'Behold, you have defeated Edom.' And your heart has become proud in boasting. Now stay at home; for why should you provoke trouble so that you, even you, would fall and Judah with you?"

nasb@2Chronicles:24:20 @But Amaziah would not listen, for it was from God, that He might deliver them into the hand of Joash because they had sought the gods of Edom.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:21 @So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh, which belonged to Judah.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:24:24 @He took all the gold and silver and all the utensils which were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:25 @And Amaziah, the son of Joash king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:25:8 @The Ammonites also gave tribute to Uzziah, and his fame extended to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:10 @He built towers in the wilderness and hewed many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowland and in the plain. He also had plowmen and vinedressers in the hill country and the fertile fields, for he loved the soil.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:16 @But when he became strong, his heart was so proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:25:21 @King Uzziah was a leper to the day of his death; and he lived in a separate house, being a leper, for he was cut off from the house of the LORD. And Jotham his son was over the king's house judging the people of the land.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:22 @Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first to last, the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, has written.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:26:6 @So Jotham became mighty because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:27:2 @But he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made molten images for the Baals.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:3 @Moreover, he burned incense in the valley of Ben-hinnom and burned his sons in fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had driven out before the sons of Israel.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:27:6 @For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah 120,000 in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:7 @And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son and Azrikam the ruler of the house and Elkanah the second to the king.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:8 @The sons of Israel carried away captive of their brethren 200,000 women, sons and daughters; and they took also a great deal of spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:12 @Then some of the heads of the sons of Ephraim--Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai--arose against those who were coming from the battle,

nasb@2Chronicles:27:13 @and said to them, "You must not bring the captives in here, for you are proposing to bring upon us guilt against the LORD adding to our sins and our guilt; for our guilt is great so that His burning anger is against Israel."

nasb@2Chronicles:27:14 @So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the officers and all the assembly.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:18 @The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages, and they settled there.

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

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

nasb@2Chronicles:28:7" @They have also shut the doors of the porch and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:9" @For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:11" @My sons, do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to minister to Him, and to be His ministers and burn incense."

nasb@2Chronicles:28:12 @Then the Levites arose- Mahath, the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, from the sons of the Kohathites; and from the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and from the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah;

nasb@2Chronicles:28:16 @So the priests went in to the inner part of the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and every unclean thing which they found in the temple of the LORD they brought out to the court of the house of the LORD. Then the Levites received it to carry out to the Kidron valley.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:21 @They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs and seven male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom, the sanctuary, and Judah. And he ordered the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:22 @So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They also slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar; they slaughtered the lambs also and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:27 @Then Hezekiah gave the order to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song to the LORD also began with the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David, king of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:28 @While the whole assembly worshiped, the singers also sang and the trumpets sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:30 @Moreover, King Hezekiah and the officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David and Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with joy, and bowed down and worshiped.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:34 @But the priests were too few, so that they were unable to skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was completed and until the other priests had consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:35 @There were also many burnt offerings with the fat of the peace offerings and with the libations for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the LORD was established again.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:1 @Now Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:2 @For the king and his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem had decided to celebrate the Passover in the second month,

nasb@2Chronicles:29:5 @So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as it was prescribed.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:6 @The couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes, even according to the command of the king, saying, "O sons of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, that He may return to those of you who escaped and are left from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:7" @ Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were unfaithful to the LORD God of their fathers, so that He made them a horror, as you see.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:29:10 @So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, and as far as Zebulun, but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:11 @Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:12 @The hand of God was also on Judah to give them one heart to do what the king and the princes commanded by the word of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:14 @They arose and removed the altars which were in Jerusalem; they also removed all the incense altars and cast them into the brook Kidron.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:15 @Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth of the second month. And the priests and Levites were ashamed of themselves, and consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:17 @For there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves; therefore, the Levites were over the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was unclean, in order to consecrate them to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:18 @For a multitude of the people, even many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than prescribed. For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD pardon

nasb@2Chronicles:29:21 @The sons of Israel present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day after day with loud instruments to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:22 @Then Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who showed good insight in the things of the LORD. So they ate for the appointed seven days, sacrificing peace offerings and giving thanks to the LORD God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:23 @Then the whole assembly decided to celebrate the feast another seven days, so they celebrated the seven days with joy.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:25 @All the assembly of Judah rejoiced, with the priests and the Levites and all the assembly that came from Israel, both the sojourners who came from the land of Israel and those living in Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem, because there was nothing like this in Jerusalem since the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:1 @Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherim and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:3 @He also appointed the king's portion of his goods for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the fixed festivals, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:5 @As soon as the order spread, the sons of Israel provided in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:6 @The sons of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of sacred gifts which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and placed them in heaps.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:14 @Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the eastern gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to apportion the contributions for the LORD and the most holy things.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:17 @He also wrote letters to insult the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, " As the gods of the nations of the lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand."

nasb@2Chronicles:31:18 @They called this out with a loud voice in the language of Judah to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them, so that they might take the city.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:20 @But King Hezekiah and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed about this and cried out to heaven.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:17" @They have also emptied out the money which was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hands of the supervisors and the workmen."

nasb@2Chronicles:33:20 @Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:33:22 @So Hilkiah and those whom the king had told went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter); and they spoke to her regarding this.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:28" @Behold, I will gather you to your fathers and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, so your eyes will not see all the evil which I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants."'" And they brought back word to the king.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:31 @Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant written in this book.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:32 @Moreover, he made all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand with him. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:33:33 @Josiah removed all the abominations from all the lands belonging to the sons of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel to serve the LORD their God. Throughout his lifetime they did not turn from following the LORD God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:1 @Then Josiah celebrated the Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover animals on the fourteenth day of the first month.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:3 @He also said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built; it will be a burden on your shoulders no longer. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:4" @ Prepare yourselves by your fathers' households in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel and according to the writing of his son Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:6" @Now slaughter the Passover animals, sanctify yourselves and prepare for your brethren to do according to the word of the LORD by Moses."

nasb@2Chronicles:34:7 @Josiah contributed to the lay people, to all who were present, flocks of lambs and young goats, all for the Passover offerings, numbering 30,000 plus 3,000 bulls; these were from the king's possessions.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:8 @His officers also contributed a freewill offering to the people, the priests and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the officials of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings 2,600 from the flocks and 300 bulls.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:9 @Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the officers of the Levites, contributed to the Levites for the Passover offerings 5,000 from the flocks and 500 bulls.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:10 @So the service was prepared, and the priests stood at their stations and the Levites by their divisions according to the king's command.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:11 @They slaughtered the Passover animals, and while the priests sprinkled the blood received from their hand, the Levites skinned them.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:12 @Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the sections of the fathers' households of the lay people to present to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did this also with the bulls.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:13 @So they roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the ordinance, and they boiled the holy things in pots, in kettles, in pans, and carried them speedily to all the lay people.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:14 @Afterwards they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:15 @The singers, the sons of Asaph, were also at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers at each gate did not have to depart from their service, because the Levites their brethren prepared for them.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:16 @So all the service of the LORD was prepared on that day to celebrate the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD according to the command of King Josiah.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:17 @Thus the sons of Israel who were present celebrated the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:18 @There had not been celebrated a Passover like it in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; nor had any of the kings of Israel celebrated such a Passover as Josiah did with the priests, the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:19 @In the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign this Passover was celebrated.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:21 @But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, " What have we to do with each other, O King of Judah? I am not coming against you today but against the house with which I am at war, and God has ordered me to hurry. Stop for your own sake from interfering with God who is with me, so that He will not destroy you."

nasb@2Chronicles:34:24 @So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem where he died and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

nasb@2Chronicles:34:25 @Then Jeremiah chanted a lament for Josiah. And all the male and female singers speak about Josiah in their lamentations to this day. And they made them an ordinance in Israel; behold, they are also written in the Lamentations.

nasb@2Chronicles:35:1 @Then the people of the land took Joahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in place of his father in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:35:7 @Nebuchadnezzar also brought some of the articles of the house of the LORD to Babylon and put them in his temple at Babylon.

nasb@2Chronicles:35:8 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:35:13 @He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear allegiance by God. But he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:35:20 @Those who had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia,

nasb@Nehemiah:2:13 @So I went out at night by the Valley Gate in the direction of the Dragon's Well and on to the Refuse Gate, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were consumed by fire.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:15 @So I went up at night by the ravine and inspected the wall. Then I entered the Valley Gate again and returned.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, "You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned by fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach."

nasb@Nehemiah:2:18 @I told them how the hand of my God had been favorable to me and also about the king's words which he had spoken to me. Then they said, "Let us arise and build." So they put their hands to the good work.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:20 @So I answered them and said to them, " The God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no portion, right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nasb@Nehemiah:3:2 @Next to him the men of Jericho built, and next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built.

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:3:4 @Next to them Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz made repairs. And next to him Meshullam the son of Berechiah the son of Meshezabel made repairs. And next to him Zadok the son of Baana also made repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:8 @Next to him Uzziel the son of Harhaiah of the goldsmiths made repairs. And next to him Hananiah, one of the perfumers, made repairs, and they restored Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:9 @Next to them Rephaiah the son of Hur, the official of half the district of Jerusalem, made repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:10 @Next to them Jedaiah the son of Harumaph made repairs opposite his house. And next to him Hattush the son of Hashabneiah made repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:11 @Malchijah the son of Harim and Hasshub the son of Pahath-moab repaired another section and the Tower of Furnaces.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:14 @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:3:16 @After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, official of half the district of Beth-zur, made repairs as far as a point opposite the tombs of David, and as far as the artificial pool and the house of the mighty men.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:17 @After him the Levites carried out repairs under Rehum the son of Bani. Next to him Hashabiah, the official of half the district of Keilah, carried out repairs for his district.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:18 @After him their brothers carried out repairs under Bavvai the son of Henadad, official of the other half of the district of Keilah.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:19 @Next to him Ezer the son of Jeshua, the official of Mizpah, repaired another section in front of the ascent of the armory at the Angle.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:20 @After him Baruch the son of Zabbai zealously repaired another section, from the Angle to the doorway of the house of Eliashib the high priest.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:21 @After him Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz repaired another section, from the doorway of Eliashib's house even as far as the end of his house.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:23 @After them Benjamin and Hasshub carried out repairs in front of their house. After them Azariah the son of Maaseiah, son of Ananiah, carried out repairs beside his house.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:24 @After him Binnui the son of Henadad repaired another section, from the house of Azariah as far as the Angle and as far as the corner.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:25 @Palal the son of Uzai made repairs in front of the Angle and the tower projecting from the upper house of the king, which is by the court of the guard. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh made repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:29 @After them Zadok the son of Immer carried out repairs in front of his house. And after him Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the East Gate, carried out repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah carried out repairs in front of his own quarters.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:6 @So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:14 @When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people- " Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:20" @At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."

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:4:23 @So neither I, my brothers, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us removed our clothes, each took his weapon even to the water.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:2 @For there were those who said, "We, our sons and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain that we may eat and live."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:4 @Also there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our fields and our vineyards.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:5" @Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:8 @I said to them, "We according to our ability have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?" Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:11" @Please, give back to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money and of the grain, the new wine and the oil that you are exacting from them."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:12 @Then they said, "We will give it back and will require nothing from them; we will do exactly as you say." So I called the priests and took an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:13 @I also shook out the front of my garment and said, "Thus may God shake out every man from his house and from his possessions who does not fulfill this promise; even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" And they praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:15 @But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so because of the fear of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:16 @I also applied myself to the work on this wall; we did not buy any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:18 @Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand the governor's food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:3 @So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?"

nasb@Nehemiah:6:7" @You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, 'A king is in Judah!' And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let us take counsel together."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:10 @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:6:13 @He was hired for this reason, that I might become frightened and act accordingly and sin, so that they might have an evil report in order that they could reproach me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:14 @Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the rest of the prophets who were trying to frighten me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:15 @So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:17 @Also in those days many letters went from the nobles of Judah to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them.

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

nasb@Nehemiah:7:3 @Then I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot, and while they are standing guard, let them shut and bolt the doors. Also appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his post, and each in front of his own house."

nasb@Nehemiah:9:11" @ You divided the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground; And their pursuers You hurled into the depths, Like a stone into raging waters.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:14" @So You made known to them Your holy sabbath, And laid down for them commandments, statutes and law, Through Your servant Moses.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:17" @They refused to listen, And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You had performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not forsake them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:22" @You also gave them kingdoms and peoples, And allotted them to them as a boundary. They took possession of the land of Sihon the king of Heshbon And the land of Og the king of Bashan.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:23" @You made their sons numerous as the stars of heaven, And You brought them into the land Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess.

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:9:25" @ They captured fortified cities and a fertile land. They took possession of houses full of every good thing, Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, Fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled and grew fat, And reveled in Your great goodness.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:26" @ But they became disobedient and rebelled against You, And cast Your law behind their backs And killed Your prophets who had admonished them So that they might return to You, And they committed great blasphemies.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:27" @Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them, But when they cried to You in the time of their distress, You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:28" @But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them. When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven, And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,

nasb@Nehemiah:10:36 @and bring to the house of our God the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks as it is written in the law, for the priests who are ministering in the house of our God.

nasb@Nehemiah:10:37 @We will also bring the first of our dough, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the new wine and the oil to the priests at the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground to the Levites, for the Levites are they who receive the tithes in all the rural towns.

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:12:44 @On that day men were also appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the first fruits and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions required by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who served.

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:12:46 @For in the days of David and Asaph, in ancient times, there were leaders of the singers, songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving to God.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:47 @So all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah gave the portions due the singers and the gatekeepers as each day required, and set apart the consecrated portion for the Levites, and the Levites set apart the consecrated portion for the sons of Aaron.

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:13:3 @So when they heard the law, they excluded all foreigners from Israel.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:6 @But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had gone to the king. After some time, however, I asked leave from the king,

nasb@Nehemiah:13:8 @It was very displeasing to me, so I threw all of Tobiah's household goods out of the room.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:10 @I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:11 @So I reprimanded the officials and said, " Why is the house of God forsaken?" Then I gathered them together and restored them to their posts.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:13 @In charge of the storehouses I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered reliable, and it was their task to distribute to their kinsmen.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days I saw in Judah some who were treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sacks of grain and loading them on donkeys, as well as wine, grapes, figs and all kinds of loads, and they brought them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. So I admonished them on the day they sold food.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:16 @Also men of Tyre were living there who imported fish and all kinds of merchandise, and sold them to the sons of Judah on the sabbath, even in Jerusalem.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:18" @ Did not your fathers do the same, so that our God brought on us and on this city all this trouble? Yet you are adding to the wrath on Israel by profaning the sabbath."

nasb@Nehemiah:13:19 @It came about that just as it grew dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut and that they should not open them until after the sabbath. Then I stationed some of my servants at the gates so that no load would enter on the sabbath day.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:21 @Then I warned them and said to them, "Why do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will use force against you." From that time on they did not come on the sabbath.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:22 @And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come as gatekeepers to sanctify the sabbath day. For this also remember me, O my God, and have compassion on me according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:23 @In those days I also saw that the Jews had married women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.

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

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

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

nasb@Esther:1:8 @The drinking was done according to the law, there was no compulsion, for so the king had given orders to each official of his household that he should do according to the desires of each person.

nasb@Esther:1:9 @Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:1:13 @Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times--for it was the custom of the king so to speak before all who knew law and justice

nasb@Esther:1:16 @In the presence of the king and the princes, Memucan said, "Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

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

nasb@Esther:1:22 @So he sent letters to all the king's provinces, to each province according to its script and to every people according to their language, that every man should be the master in his own house and the one who speaks in the language of his own people.

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

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

nasb@Esther:2:8 @So it came about when the command and decree of the king were heard and many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king's palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.

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:2:16 @So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus to his royal palace in the tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

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:2:18 @Then the king gave a great banquet, Esther's banquet, for all his princes and his servants; he also made a holiday for the provinces and gave gifts according to the king's bounty.

nasb@Esther:2:21 @In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's officials from those who guarded the door, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:2:23 @Now when the plot was investigated and found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the Book of the Chronicles in the king's presence.

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

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

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

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

nasb@Esther:3:8 @Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of all other people and they do not observe the king's laws, so it is not in the king's interest to let them remain.

nasb@Esther:3:10 @Then the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

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:3:14 @A copy of the edict to be issued as law in every province was published to all the peoples so that they should be ready for this day.

nasb@Esther:4:6 @So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the city square in front of the king's gate.

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

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

nasb@Esther:4:16" @Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish."

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

nasb@Esther:5:2 @When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.

nasb@Esther:5:5 @Then the king said, " Bring Haman quickly that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nasb@Esther:5:7 @So Esther replied, "My petition and my request is-

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

nasb@Esther:5:12 @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:6:1 @During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

nasb@Esther:6:2 @It was found written what Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers, that they had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

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

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

nasb@Esther:6:10 @Then the king said to Haman, "Take quickly the robes and the horse as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king's gate; do not fall short in anything of all that you have said."

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

nasb@Esther:7:2 @And the king said to Esther on the second day also as they drank their wine at the banquet, " What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done."

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:7:10 @So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king's anger subsided.

nasb@Esther:8:4 @The king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king.

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

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

nasb@Esther:8:9 @So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors and the princes of the provinces which extended from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.

nasb@Esther:8:13 @A copy of the edict to be issued as law in each and every province was published to all the peoples, so that the Jews would be ready for this day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

nasb@Esther:9:1 @Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth day when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.

nasb@Esther:9:2 @The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.

nasb@Esther:9:10 @the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:12 @The king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall even be granted you. And what is your further request? It shall also be done."

nasb@Esther:9:13 @Then said Esther, "If it pleases the king, let tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do according to the edict of today; and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows."

nasb@Esther:9:14 @So the king commanded that it should be done so; and an edict was issued in Susa, and Haman's ten sons were hanged.

nasb@Esther:9:15 @The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed three hundred men in Susa, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:22 @because on those days the Jews rid themselves of their enemies, and it was a month which was turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

nasb@Esther:9:24 @For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had schemed against the Jews to destroy them and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to disturb them and destroy them.

nasb@Esther:9:25 @But when it came to the king's attention, he commanded by letter that his wicked scheme which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

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

nasb@Esther:9:28 @So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city; and these days of Purim were not to fail from among the Jews, or their memory fade from their descendants.

nasb@Esther:10:3 @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.
