rsv@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses.

rsv@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphra'tes, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory.

rsv@Joshua:1:5 @ No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

rsv@Joshua:1:11 @ "Pass through the camp, and command the people, `Prepare your provisions; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to take possession of the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess.'"

rsv@Joshua:1:12 @ And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manas'seh Joshua said,

rsv@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall remain in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but all the men of valor among you shall pass over armed before your brethren and shall help them,

rsv@Joshua:1:15 @ until the LORD gives rest to your brethren as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them; then you shall return to the land of your possession, and shall possess it, the land which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise."

rsv@Joshua:1:17 @ 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!

rsv@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

rsv@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho, "Behold, certain men of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land."

rsv@Joshua:2:5 @ and when the gate was to be closed, at dark, the men went out; where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."

rsv@Joshua:2:7 @ So the men pursued after them on the way to the Jordan as far as the fords; and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.

rsv@Joshua:2:9 @ and said to the men, "I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

rsv@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God is he who is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

rsv@Joshua:2:12 @ Now then, swear to me by the LORD that as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign,

rsv@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she dwelt in the wall.

rsv@Joshua:2:23 @ Then the two men came down again from the hills, and passed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.

rsv@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has given all the land into our hands; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of us."

rsv@Joshua:3:1 @ Early in the morning Joshua rose and set out from Shittim, with all the people of Israel; and they came to the Jordan, and lodged there before they passed over.

rsv@Joshua:3:4 @ that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way before. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, a distance of about two thousand cubits; do not come near it."

rsv@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua said to the priests, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people." And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

rsv@Joshua:3:7 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

rsv@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, "Hereby you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Per'izzites, the Gir'gashites, the Amorites, and the Jeb'usites.

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

rsv@Joshua:3:14 @ So, when the people set out from their tents, to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

rsv@Joshua:3:16 @ the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap far off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zar'ethan, and those flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off; and the people passed over opposite Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:3:17 @ And while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.

rsv@Joshua:4:1 @ When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,

rsv@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them, "Pass on before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up each of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel,

rsv@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you, when your children ask in time to come, `What do those stones mean to you?'

rsv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial for ever."

rsv@Joshua:4:8 @ And the men of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, as the LORD told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

rsv@Joshua:4:10 @ For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to tell the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people passed over in haste;

rsv@Joshua:4:11 @ and when all the people had finished passing over, the ark of the LORD and the priests passed over before the people.

rsv@Joshua:4:12 @ The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manas'seh passed over armed before the people of Israel, as Moses had bidden them;

rsv@Joshua:4:13 @ about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him, as they had stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.

rsv@Joshua:4:18 @ And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.

rsv@Joshua:4:19 @ The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:4:21 @ And he said to the people of Israel, "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, `What do these stones mean?'

rsv@Joshua:4:22 @ then you shall let your children know, `Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground.'

rsv@Joshua:4:23 @ For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over,

rsv@Joshua:5:1 @ When all the kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites that were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them, because of the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt.

rsv@Joshua:5:7 @ So it was their children, whom he raised up in their stead, that Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

rsv@Joshua:5:8 @ When the circumcising of all the nation was done, they remained in their places in the camp till they were healed.

rsv@Joshua:5:10 @ While the people of Israel were encamped in Gilgal they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:5:11 @ And on the morrow after the passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain.

rsv@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they ate of the produce of the land; and the people of Israel had manna no more, but ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

rsv@Joshua:5:13 @ When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood before him with his drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?"

rsv@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, "No; but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, "What does my lord bid his servant?"

rsv@Joshua:6:1 @ Now Jericho was shut up from within and from without because of the people of Israel; none went out, and none came in.

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

rsv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, "Go forward; march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:6:8 @ And as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD following them.

rsv@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp.

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

rsv@Joshua:6:15 @ On the seventh day they rose early at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times: it was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times.

rsv@Joshua:6:16 @ And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout; for the LORD has given you the city.

rsv@Joshua:6:19 @ But all silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are sacred to the LORD; they shall go into the treasury of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

rsv@Joshua:6:21 @ Then they utterly destroyed all in the city, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword.

rsv@Joshua:6:22 @ And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the harlot's house, and bring out from it the woman, and all who belong to her, as you swore to her."

rsv@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burned the city with fire, and all within it; only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

rsv@Joshua:7:2 @ Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-a'ven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." And the men went up and spied out Ai.

rsv@Joshua:7:5 @ and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six men of them, and chased them before the gate as far as Sheb'arim, and slew them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

rsv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, O Lord GOD, why hast thou brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan!

rsv@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!

rsv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, and lied, and put them among their own stuff.

rsv@Joshua:7:15 @ And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done a shameful thing in Israel.'"

rsv@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel near tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was taken;

rsv@Joshua:7:17 @ and he brought near the families of Judah, and the family of the Zer'ahites was taken; and he brought near the family of the Zer'ahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken;

rsv@Joshua:7:18 @ and he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

rsv@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath.

rsv@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the mantle and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters, and his oxen and asses and sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor.

rsv@Joshua:8:2 @ and you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king; only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves; lay an ambush against the city, behind it."

rsv@Joshua:8:5 @ and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach the city. And when they come out against us, as before, we shall flee before them;

rsv@Joshua:8:6 @ and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, `They are fleeing from us, as before.' So we will flee from them;

rsv@Joshua:8:8 @ And when you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire, doing as the LORD has bidden; see, I have commanded you."

rsv@Joshua:8:13 @ So they stationed the forces, the main encampment which was north of the city and its rear guard west of the city. But Joshua spent that night in the valley.

rsv@Joshua:8:14 @ And when the king of Ai saw this he and all his people, the men of the city, made haste and went out early to the descent toward the Arabah to meet Israel in battle; but he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:16 @ So all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn away from the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:17 @ There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, who did not go out after Israel; they left the city open, and pursued Israel.

rsv@Joshua:8:18 @ 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." And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

rsv@Joshua:8:19 @ And the ambush rose quickly out of their place, and as soon as he had stretched out his hand, they ran and entered the city and took it; and they made haste to set the city on fire.

rsv@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others came forth from the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and Israel smote them, until there was left none that survived or escaped.

rsv@Joshua:8:24 @ When Israel had finished slaughtering all the inhabitants of Ai in the open wilderness where they pursued them and all of them to the very last had fallen by the edge of the sword, all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

rsv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as their booty, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.

rsv@Joshua:8:28 @ So Joshua burned Ai, and made it for ever a heap of ruins, as it is to this day.

rsv@Joshua:8:29 @ And he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised over it a great heap of stones, which stands there to this day.

rsv@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the people of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, "an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man has lifted an iron tool"; and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

rsv@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, sojourner as well as homeborn, with their elders and officers and their judges, stood on opposite sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, half of them in front of Mount Ger'izim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who lived among them.

rsv@Joshua:9:1 @ When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the lowland all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites, heard of this,

rsv@Joshua:9:4 @ they on their part acted with cunning, and went and made ready provisions, and took worn-out sacks upon their asses, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended,

rsv@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ash'taroth.

rsv@Joshua:9:12 @ Here is our bread; it was still warm when we took it from our houses as our food for the journey, on the day we set forth to come to you, but now, behold, it is dry and moldy;

rsv@Joshua:9:14 @ So the men partook of their provisions, and did not ask direction from the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:9:21 @ And the leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the leaders had said of them.

rsv@Joshua:9:24 @ They answered Joshua, "Because it was told to your servants for a certainty 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 from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.

rsv@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, behold, we are in your hand: do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us."

rsv@Joshua:10:1 @ When Ado'ni-ze'dek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,

rsv@Joshua:10:2 @ he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

rsv@Joshua:10:4 @ "Come up to me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the people of Israel."

rsv@Joshua:10:10 @ And the LORD threw them into a panic before Israel, who slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-hor'on, and smote them as far as Aze'kah and Makke'dah.

rsv@Joshua:10:11 @ And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor'on, the LORD threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze'kah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword.

rsv@Joshua:10:13 @ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

rsv@Joshua:10:14 @ There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

rsv@Joshua:10:17 @ And it was told Joshua, "The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makke'dah."

rsv@Joshua:10:19 @ but do not stay there yourselves, pursue your enemies, fall upon their rear, do not let them enter their cities; for the LORD your God has given them into your hand."

rsv@Joshua:10:28 @ And Joshua took Makke'dah on that day, and smote it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed every person in it, he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makke'dah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:10:29 @ Then Joshua passed on from Makke'dah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah;

rsv@Joshua:10:30 @ and the LORD gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:10:31 @ And Joshua passed on from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and laid siege to it, and assaulted it:

rsv@Joshua:10:32 @ and the LORD gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, as he had done to Libnah.

rsv@Joshua:10:34 @ And Joshua passed on with all Israel from Lachish to Eglon; and they laid siege to it, and assaulted it;

rsv@Joshua:10:35 @ and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and every person in it he utterly destroyed that day, as he had done to Lachish.

rsv@Joshua:10:36 @ Then Joshua went up with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron; and they assaulted it,

rsv@Joshua:10:37 @ and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king and its towns, and every person in it; he left none remaining, as he had done to Eglon, and utterly destroyed it with every person in it.

rsv@Joshua:10:38 @ Then Joshua, with all Israel, turned back to Debir and assaulted it,

rsv@Joshua:10:39 @ and he took it with its king and all its towns; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person in it; he left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and to its king.

rsv@Joshua:10:40 @ So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

rsv@Joshua:10:41 @ And Joshua defeated them from Ka'desh-bar'nea to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, as far as Gibeon.

rsv@Joshua:11:3 @ to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, and the Jeb'usites in the hill country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

rsv@Joshua:11:4 @ And they came out, with all their troops, a great host, in number like the sand that is upon the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.

rsv@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Mis'rephoth-ma'im, and eastward as far as the valley of Mizpeh; and they smote them, until they left none remaining.

rsv@Joshua:11:9 @ And Joshua did to them as the LORD bade him; he hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.

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

rsv@Joshua:11:11 @ And they put to the sword all who were in it, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed, and he burned Hazor with fire.

rsv@Joshua:11:12 @ And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.

rsv@Joshua:11:15 @ 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.

rsv@Joshua:11:17 @ from Mount Halak, that rises toward Se'ir, as far as Ba'al-gad in the valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. And he took all their kings, and smote them, and put them to death.

rsv@Joshua:11:19 @ There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon; they took all in battle.

rsv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was the LORD's doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be utterly destroyed, and should receive no mercy but be exterminated, as the LORD commanded Moses.

rsv@Joshua:11:22 @ There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

rsv@Joshua:12:1 @ Now these are the kings of the land, whom the people of Israel defeated, and took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, with all the Arabah eastward:

rsv@Joshua:12:2 @ Sihon king of the Amorites who dwelt at Heshbon, and ruled from Aro'er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the middle of the valley as far as the river Jabbok, the boundary of the Ammonites, that is, half of Gilead,

rsv@Joshua:12:3 @ and the Arabah to the Sea of Chin'neroth eastward, and in the direction of Beth-jesh'imoth, to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, southward to the foot of the slopes of Pisgah;

rsv@Joshua:12:4 @ and Og king of Bashan, one of the remnant of the Reph'aim, who dwelt at Ash'taroth and at Ed're-i

rsv@Joshua:12:5 @ and ruled over Mount Hermon and Sal'ecah and all Bashan to the boundary of the Gesh'urites and the Ma-ac'athites, and over half of Gilead to the boundary of Sihon king of Heshbon.

rsv@Joshua:12:6 @ Moses, the servant of the LORD, and the people of Israel defeated them; and Moses the servant of the LORD gave their land for a possession to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh.

rsv@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the people of Israel defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from Ba'al-gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, that rises toward Se'ir (and Joshua gave their land to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their allotments,

rsv@Joshua:12:18 @ the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lashar'on, one;

rsv@Joshua:13:1 @ Now Joshua was old and advanced in years; and the LORD said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.

rsv@Joshua:13:3 @ (from the Shihor, which is east of Egypt, northward to the boundary of Ekron, it is reckoned as Canaanite; there are five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ash'kelon, Gath, and Ekron), and those of the Avvim,

rsv@Joshua:13:7 @ Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manas'seh."

rsv@Joshua:13:8 @ With the other half of the tribe of Manas'seh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them:

rsv@Joshua:13:9 @ from Aro'er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland of Med'eba as far as Dibon;

rsv@Joshua:13:10 @ and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the boundary of the Ammonites;

rsv@Joshua:13:11 @ and Gilead, and the region of the Gesh'urites and Ma-ac'athites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Sal'ecah;

rsv@Joshua:13:12 @ all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ash'taroth and in Ed're-i (he alone was left of the remnant of the Reph'aim); these Moses had defeated and driven out.

rsv@Joshua:13:14 @ To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to him.

rsv@Joshua:13:16 @ So their territory was from Aro'er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland by Med'eba;

rsv@Joshua:13:23 @ And the border of the people of Reuben was the Jordan as a boundary. This was the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their families with their cities and villages.

rsv@Joshua:13:25 @ Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aro'er, which is east of Rabbah,

rsv@Joshua:13:27 @ and in the valley Beth-ha'ram, Beth-nim'rah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, having the Jordan as a boundary, to the lower end of the Sea of Chin'nereth, eastward beyond the Jordan.

rsv@Joshua:13:29 @ And Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manas'seh; it was allotted to the half-tribe of the Manas'sites according to their families.

rsv@Joshua:13:30 @ Their region extended from Mahana'im, through all Bashan, the whole kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Ja'ir, which are in Bashan, sixty cities,

rsv@Joshua:13:31 @ and half Gilead, and Ash'taroth, and Ed're-i, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan; these were allotted to the people of Machir the son of Manas'seh for the half of the Machirites according to their families.

rsv@Joshua:13:32 @ These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:13:33 @ But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said to them.

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

rsv@Joshua:14:4 @ For the people of Joseph were two tribes, Manas'seh and E'phraim; and no portion was given to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their cattle and their substance.

rsv@Joshua:14:5 @ The people of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses; they allotted the land.

rsv@Joshua:14:7 @ I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Ka'desh-bar'nea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.

rsv@Joshua:14:9 @ And Moses swore on that day, saying, `Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children for ever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'

rsv@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness; and now, lo, I am this day eighty-five years old.

rsv@Joshua:14:11 @ I am still as strong to this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me; my strength now is as my strength was then, for war, and for going and coming.

rsv@Joshua:19:8 @ together with all the villages round about these cities as far as Ba'alath-beer, Ramah of the Negeb. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon according to its families.

rsv@Joshua:19:9 @ The inheritance of the tribe of Simeon formed part of the territory of Judah; because the portion of the tribe of Judah was too large for them, the tribe of Simeon obtained an inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

rsv@Joshua:19:10 @ The third lot came up for the tribe of Zeb'ulun, according to its families. And the territory of its inheritance reached as far as Sarid;

rsv@Joshua:19:47 @ When the territory of the Danites was lost to them, the Danites went up and fought against Leshem, and after capturing it and putting it to the sword they took possession of it and settled in it, calling Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor.

rsv@Joshua:19:49 @ When they had finished distributing the several territories of the land as inheritances, the people of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun.

rsv@Joshua:19:50 @ By command of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, Tim'nath-se'rah in the hill country of E'phraim; and he rebuilt the city, and settled in it.

rsv@Judges:6:4 @ they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the land, as far as the neighborhood of Gaza, and leave no sustenance in Israel, and no sheep or ox or ass.

rsv@Judges:6:5 @ For they would come up with their cattle and their tents, coming like locusts for number; both they and their camels could not be counted; so that they wasted the land as they came in.

rsv@Judges:6:6 @ And Israel was brought very low because of Mid'ian; and the people of Israel cried for help to the LORD.

rsv@Judges:6:11 @ Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak at Ophrah, which belonged to Jo'ash the Abiez'rite, as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Mid'ianites.

rsv@Judges:6:13 @ And Gideon said to him, "Pray, sir, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this befallen us? And where are all his wonderful deeds which our fathers recounted to us, saying, `Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has cast us off, and given us into the hand of Mid'ian."

rsv@Judges:6:15 @ And he said to him, "Pray, Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manas'seh, and I am the least in my family."

rsv@Judges:6:16 @ And the LORD said to him, "But I will be with you, and you shall smite the Mid'ianites as one man."

rsv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went into his house and prepared a kid, and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; the meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the oak and presented them.

rsv@Judges:6:21 @ Then the angel of the LORD reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and there sprang up fire from the rock and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.

rsv@Judges:6:22 @ Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the LORD; and Gideon said, "Alas, O Lord GOD! For now I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face."

rsv@Judges:6:25 @ That night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Ba'al which your father has, and cut down the Ashe'rah that is beside it;

rsv@Judges:6:26 @ and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order; then take the second bull, and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Ashe'rah which you shall cut down."

rsv@Judges:6:27 @ So Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had told him; but because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.

rsv@Judges:6:28 @ When the men of the town rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Ba'al was broken down, and the Ashe'rah beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered upon the altar which had been built.

rsv@Judges:6:29 @ And they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And after they had made search and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Jo'ash has done this thing."

rsv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the town said to Jo'ash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Ba'al and cut down the Ashe'rah beside it."

rsv@Judges:6:31 @ But Jo'ash said to all who were arrayed against him, "Will you contend for Ba'al? Or will you defend his cause? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been pulled down."

rsv@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he was called Jerubba'al, that is to say, "Let Ba'al contend against him," because he pulled down his altar.

rsv@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Mid'ianites and the Amal'ekites and the people of the East came together, and crossing the Jordan they encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.

rsv@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manas'seh; and they too were called out to follow him. And he sent messengers to Asher, Zeb'ulun, and Naph'tali; and they went up to meet them.

rsv@Judges:6:36 @ Then Gideon said to God, "If thou wilt deliver Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,

rsv@Judges:6:37 @ behold, I am laying a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece alone, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that thou wilt deliver Israel by my hand, as thou hast said."

rsv@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

rsv@Judges:6:40 @ And God did so that night; for it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.

rsv@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubba'al (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod; and the camp of Mid'ian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:2 @ The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Mid'ianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, `My own hand has delivered me.'

rsv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, "Every one that laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself; likewise every one that kneels down to drink."

rsv@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those that lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water.

rsv@Judges:7:8 @ So he took the jars of the people from their hands, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Mid'ian was below him in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:12 @ And the Mid'ianites and the Amal'ekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the seashore for multitude.

rsv@Judges:7:13 @ When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade; and he said, "Behold, I dreamed a dream; and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Mid'ian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat."

rsv@Judges:7:14 @ And his comrade answered, "This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Jo'ash, a man of Israel; into his hand God has given Mid'ian and all the host."

rsv@Judges:7:15 @ When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped; and he returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Arise; for the LORD has given the host of Mid'ian into your hand."

rsv@Judges:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise; when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do.

rsv@Judges:7:19 @ 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 set the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.

rsv@Judges:7:22 @ When they blew the three hundred trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow and against all the army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shit'tah toward Zer'erah, as far as the border of A'bel-meho'lah, by Tabbath.

rsv@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel were called out from Naph'tali and from Asher and from all Manas'seh, and they pursued after Mid'ian.

rsv@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of E'phraim, saying, "Come down against the Mid'ianites and seize the waters against them, as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan." So all the men of E'phraim were called out, and they seized the waters as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:7:25 @ And they took the two princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the wine press of Zeeb, as they pursued Mid'ian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:8:3 @ God has given into your hands the princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger against him was abated, when he had said this.

rsv@Judges:8:4 @ And Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.

rsv@Judges:8:7 @ And Gideon said, "Well then, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmun'na into my hand, I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers."

rsv@Judges:8:8 @ And from there he went up to Penu'el, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penu'el answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

rsv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmun'na were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword.

rsv@Judges:8:11 @ And Gideon went up by the caravan route east of Nobah and Jog'behah, and attacked the army; for the army was off its guard.

rsv@Judges:8:13 @ Then Gideon the son of Jo'ash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres.

rsv@Judges:8:18 @ Then he said to Zebah and Zalmun'na, "Where are the men whom you slew at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they, every one of them; they resembled the sons of a king."

rsv@Judges:8:19 @ And he said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not slay you."

rsv@Judges:8:20 @ And he said to Jether his first-born, "Rise, and slay them." But the youth did not draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

rsv@Judges:8:21 @ Then Zebah and Zalmun'na said, "Rise yourself, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength." And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmun'na; and he took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, "We will willingly give them." And they spread a garment, and every man cast in it the earrings of his spoil.

rsv@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Mid'ian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:28 @ So Mid'ian was subdued before the people of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.

rsv@Judges:8:29 @ Jerubba'al the son of Jo'ash went and dwelt in his own house.

rsv@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he called his name Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:8:32 @ And Gideon the son of Jo'ash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Jo'ash his father, at Ophrah of the Abiez'rites.

rsv@Judges:8:33 @ As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel turned again and played the harlot after the Ba'als, and made Ba'al-be'rith their god.

rsv@Judges:9:5 @ And he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brothers the sons of Jerubba'al, seventy men, upon one stone; but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubba'al was left, for he hid himself.

rsv@Judges:9:7 @ When it was told to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Ger'izim, and cried aloud and said to them, "Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

rsv@Judges:9:16 @ "Now therefore, if you acted in good faith and honor when you made Abim'elech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubba'al and his house, and have done to him as his deeds deserved--

rsv@Judges:9:33 @ Then in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, rise early and rush upon the city; and when he and the men that are with him come out against you, you may do to them as occasion offers."

rsv@Judges:9:48 @ And Abim'elech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the men that were with him; and Abim'elech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bundle of brushwood, and took it up and laid it on his shoulder.

rsv@Judges:9:51 @ But there was a strong tower within the city, and all the people of the city fled to it, all the men and women, and shut themselves in; and they went to the roof of the tower.

rsv@Judges:9:54 @ Then he called hastily to the young man his armor-bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, `A woman killed him.'" And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

rsv@Judges:9:55 @ And when the men of Israel saw that Abim'elech was dead, they departed every man to his home.

rsv@Judges:18:3 @ When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite; and they turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?"

rsv@Judges:18:4 @ And he said to them, "Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest."

rsv@Judges:18:10 @ When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is broad; yea, God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth."

rsv@Judges:18:15 @ And they turned aside thither, and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.

rsv@Judges:18:20 @ And the priest's heart was glad; he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.

rsv@Judges:18:24 @ And he said, "You take my gods which I made, and the priest, and go away, and what have I left? How then do you ask me, `What ails you?'"

rsv@Judges:18:28 @ And there was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any one. It was in the valley which belongs to Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city, and dwelt in it.

rsv@Judges:18:29 @ And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the name of the city was La'ish at the first.

rsv@Judges:18:31 @ So they set up Micah's graven image which he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.

rsv@Judges:19:1 @ In those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was sojourning in the remote parts of the hill country of E'phraim, who took to himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

rsv@Judges:19:2 @ And his concubine became angry with him, and she went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there some four months.

rsv@Judges:19:3 @ Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back. He had with him his servant and a couple of asses. And he came to her father's house; and when the girl's father saw him, he came with joy to meet him.

rsv@Judges:19:10 @ But the man would not spend the night; he rose up and departed, and arrived opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). He had with him a couple of saddled asses, and his concubine was with him.

rsv@Judges:19:11 @ When they were near Jebus, the day was far spent, and the servant said to his master, "Come now, let us turn aside to this city of the Jeb'usites, and spend the night in it."

rsv@Judges:19:12 @ And his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners, who do not belong to the people of Israel; but we will pass on to Gib'e-ah."

rsv@Judges:19:15 @ and they turned aside there, to go in and spend the night at Gib'e-ah. And he went in and sat down in the open square of the city; for no man took them into his house to spend the night.

rsv@Judges:19:16 @ And behold, an old man was coming from his work in the field at evening; the man was from the hill country of E'phraim, and he was sojourning in Gib'e-ah; the men of the place were Benjaminites.

rsv@Judges:19:22 @ As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, base fellows, beset the house round about, beating on the door; and they said to the old man, the master of the house, "Bring out the man who came into your house, that we may know him."

rsv@Judges:19:23 @ And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren, do not act so wickedly; seeing that this man has come into my house, do not do this vile thing.

rsv@Judges:19:26 @ And as morning appeared, the woman came and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, till it was light.

rsv@1Samuel:13:10 @ As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him and salute him.

rsv@1Samuel:13:11 @ Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines had mustered at Michmash,

rsv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart; and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

rsv@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

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

rsv@1Samuel:13:21 @ and the charge was a pim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and a third of a shekel for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads.

rsv@1Samuel:13:22 @ So on the day of the battle there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.

rsv@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

rsv@1Samuel:14:2 @ Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gib'e-ah under the pomegranate tree which is at Migron; the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

rsv@1Samuel:14:3 @ and Ahi'jah the son of Ahi'tub, Ich'abod's brother, son of Phin'ehas, son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.

rsv@1Samuel:14:4 @ In the pass, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistine garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

rsv@1Samuel:14:5 @ The one crag rose on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

rsv@1Samuel:14:7 @ And his armor-bearer said to him, "Do all that your mind inclines to; behold, I am with you, as is your mind so is mine."

rsv@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say, `Come up to us,' then we will go up; for the LORD has given them into our hand. And this shall be the sign to us."

rsv@1Samuel:14:12 @ And the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you a thing." And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Come up after me; for the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel."

rsv@1Samuel:14:14 @ and that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor-bearer made, was of about twenty men within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

rsv@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was a panic in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and even the raiders trembled; the earth quaked; and it became a very great panic.

rsv@1Samuel:14:16 @ And the watchmen of Saul in Gib'e-ah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude was surging hither and thither.

rsv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.

rsv@1Samuel:14:19 @ And while Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the camp of the Philistines increased more and more; and Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

rsv@1Samuel:14:20 @ Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.

rsv@1Samuel:14:23 @ So the LORD delivered Israel that day; and the battle passed beyond Beth-a'ven.

rsv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul laid an oath on the people, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

rsv@1Samuel:14:25 @ And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.

rsv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people entered the forest, behold, the honey was dropping, but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

rsv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; so he put forth the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes became bright.

rsv@1Samuel:14:29 @ Then Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land; see how my eyes have become bright, because I tasted a little of this honey.

rsv@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found; for now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great."

rsv@1Samuel:14:31 @ They struck down the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ai'jalon. And the people were very faint;

rsv@1Samuel:14:35 @ And Saul built an altar to the LORD; it was the first altar that he built to the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, "Come hither, all you leaders of the people; and know and see how this sin has arisen today.

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

rsv@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said, "O LORD God of Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O LORD, God of Israel, give Urim; but if this guilt is in thy people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.

rsv@1Samuel:14:42 @ Then Saul said, "Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan." And Jonathan was taken.

rsv@1Samuel:14:43 @ Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, "I tasted a little honey with the tip of the staff that was in my hand; here I am, I will die."

rsv@1Samuel:14:45 @ Then the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day." So the people ransomed Jonathan, that he did not die.

rsv@1Samuel:14:49 @ Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Mal'chishu'a; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

rsv@1Samuel:14:50 @ and the name of Saul's wife was Ahin'o-am the daughter of Ahim'a-az. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle;

rsv@1Samuel:14:51 @ Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abi'el.

rsv@1Samuel:14:52 @ There was hard fighting against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he attached him to himself.

rsv@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul defeated the Amal'ekites, from Hav'ilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt.

rsv@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them; all that was despised and worthless they utterly destroyed.

rsv@1Samuel:15:11 @ "I repent that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to the LORD all night.

rsv@1Samuel:15:12 @ And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, "Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal."

rsv@1Samuel:15:19 @ Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD? Why did you swoop on the spoil, and do what was evil in the sight of the LORD?"

rsv@1Samuel:15:22 @ And Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

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

rsv@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

rsv@1Samuel:15:27 @ As Samuel turned to go away, Saul laid hold upon the skirt of his robe, and it tore.

rsv@1Samuel:15:28 @ And Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.

rsv@1Samuel:15:32 @ Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of the Amal'ekites." And Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."

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

rsv@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for the LORD sees not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."

rsv@1Samuel:16:8 @ Then Jesse called Abin'adab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

rsv@1Samuel:16:9 @ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

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

rsv@1Samuel:16:12 @ And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

rsv@1Samuel:16:20 @ And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a skin of wine and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.

rsv@1Samuel:16:22 @ And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David remain in my service, for he has found favor in my sight."

rsv@1Samuel:16:23 @ And whenever the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand; so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

rsv@1Samuel:17:4 @ And there came out from the camp of the Philistines a champion named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

rsv@1Samuel:17:5 @ He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.

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

rsv@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of an Eph'rathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. In the days of Saul the man was already old and advanced in years.

rsv@1Samuel:17:14 @ David was the youngest; the three eldest followed Saul,

rsv@1Samuel:17:20 @ And David rose early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the encampment as the host was going forth to the battle line, shouting the war cry.

rsv@1Samuel:17:23 @ As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke the same words as before. And David heard him.

rsv@1Samuel:17:25 @ And the men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and the man who kills him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel."

rsv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eli'ab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eli'ab's anger was kindled 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 presumption, and the evil of your heart; for you have come down to see the battle."

rsv@1Samuel:17:29 @ And David said, "What have I done now? Was it not but a word?"

rsv@1Samuel:17:30 @ And he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way; and the people answered him again as before.

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

rsv@1Samuel:17:36 @ Your servant has killed both lions and bears; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God."

rsv@1Samuel:17:39 @ And David girded his sword over his armor, and he tried in vain to go, for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, "I cannot go with these; for I am not used to them." And David put them off.

rsv@1Samuel:17:40 @ Then he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in his shepherd's bag or wallet; his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine.

rsv@1Samuel:17:42 @ And when the Philistine looked, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, ruddy and comely in appearance.

rsv@1Samuel:17:44 @ The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the field."

rsv@1Samuel:17:46 @ This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down, and cut off your head; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

rsv@1Samuel:17:47 @ and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and he will give you into our hand."

rsv@1Samuel:17:50 @ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; there was no sword in the hand of David.

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

rsv@1Samuel:17:52 @ And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from Sha-ara'im as far as Gath and Ekron.

rsv@1Samuel:17:53 @ And the Israelites came back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.

rsv@1Samuel:17:55 @ When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell."

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

rsv@1Samuel:18:1 @ When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:3 @ Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his girdle.

rsv@1Samuel:18:5 @ And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him; so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

rsv@1Samuel:18:6 @ As they were coming home, when David returned from slaying the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with timbrels, with songs of joy, and with instruments of music.

rsv@1Samuel:18:7 @ And the women sang to one another as they made merry, "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands."

rsv@1Samuel:18:8 @ And Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and what more can he have but the kingdom?"

rsv@1Samuel:18:10 @ And on the morrow an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;

rsv@1Samuel:18:11 @ and Saul cast the spear, for he thought, "I will pin David to the wall." But David evaded him twice.

rsv@1Samuel:18:12 @ Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him but had departed from Saul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:14 @ And David had success in all his undertakings; for the LORD was with him.

rsv@1Samuel:18:19 @ But at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to A'driel the Meho'lathite for a wife.

rsv@1Samuel:18:20 @ Now Saul's daughter Michal loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

rsv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David in private and say, `Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you; now then become the king's son-in-law.'"

rsv@1Samuel:18:26 @ And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired,

rsv@1Samuel:18:28 @ But when Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that all Israel loved him,

rsv@1Samuel:18:29 @ Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.

rsv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.

rsv@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you;

rsv@1Samuel:19:6 @ And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."

rsv@1Samuel:19:7 @ And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.

rsv@1Samuel:19:8 @ And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them, so that they fled before him.

rsv@1Samuel:19:9 @ Then an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing the lyre.

rsv@1Samuel:19:16 @ And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.

rsv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, `Let me go; why should I kill you?'"

rsv@1Samuel:19:19 @ And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Nai'oth in Ramah."

rsv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:21 @ When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu; and he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Nai'oth in Ramah."

rsv@1Samuel:19:23 @ And he went from there to Nai'oth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied, until he came to Nai'oth in Ramah.

rsv@1Samuel:20:3 @ But David replied, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he thinks, `Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

rsv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, `David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

rsv@1Samuel:20:13 @ But should it please my father to do you harm, the LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, if I do not disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in safety. May the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.

rsv@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:20:19 @ And on the third day you will be greatly missed; then go to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain beside yonder stone heap.

rsv@1Samuel:20:20 @ And I will shoot three arrows to the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.

rsv@1Samuel:20:21 @ And behold, I will send the lad, saying, `Go, find the arrows.' If I say to the lad, `Look, the arrows are on this side of you, take them,' then you are to come, for, as the LORD lives, it is safe for you and there is no danger.

rsv@1Samuel:20:22 @ But if I say to the youth, `Look, the arrows are beyond you,' then go; for the LORD has sent you away.

rsv@1Samuel:20:23 @ And as for the matter of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:20:25 @ The king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall; Jonathan sat opposite, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.

rsv@1Samuel:20:26 @ Yet Saul did not say anything that day; for he thought, "Something has befallen him; he is not clean, surely he is not clean."

rsv@1Samuel:20:27 @ But on the second day, the morrow after the new moon, David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:28 @ Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem;

rsv@1Samuel:20:29 @ he said, `Let me go; for our family holds a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away, and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table."

rsv@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

rsv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die."

rsv@1Samuel:20:32 @ Then Jonathan answered Saul his father, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:33 @ But Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

rsv@1Samuel:20:34 @ And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.

rsv@1Samuel:20:36 @ And he said to his lad, "Run and find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

rsv@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, make haste, stay not." So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

rsv@1Samuel:20:41 @ And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself.

rsv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, `The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants, for ever.'" And he rose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.

rsv@1Samuel:21:2 @ And David said to Ahim'elech the priest, "The king has charged me with a matter, and said to me, `Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place.

rsv@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, "Of a truth women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition; the vessels of the young men are holy, even when it is a common journey; how much more today will their vessels be holy?"

rsv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Kei'lah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as thy servant has heard? O LORD, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

rsv@1Samuel:24:11 @ See, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for by the fact that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.

rsv@1Samuel:24:13 @ As the proverb of the ancients says, `Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you.

rsv@1Samuel:25:36 @ And Ab'igail came to Nabal; and, lo, 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 told him nothing at all until the morning light.

rsv@1Samuel:28:16 @ And Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has turned from you and become your enemy?

rsv@1Kings:7:2 @ He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, and it was built upon three rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

rsv@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was covered with cedar above the chambers that were upon the forty-five pillars, fifteen in each row.

rsv@1Kings:7:5 @ All the doorways and windows had square frames, and window was opposite window in three tiers.

rsv@1Kings:7:7 @ And he made the Hall of the Throne where he was to pronounce judgment, even the Hall of Judgment; it was finished with cedar from floor to rafters.

rsv@1Kings:7:8 @ His own house where he was to dwell, in the other court back of the hall, was of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter whom he had taken in marriage.

rsv@1Kings:7:9 @ All these were made of costly stones, hewn according to measure, sawed with saws, back and front, even from the foundation to the coping, and from the court of the house of the LORD to the great court.

rsv@1Kings:7:22 @ And upon the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.

rsv@1Kings:7:23 @ Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

rsv@1Kings:7:24 @ Under its brim were gourds, for thirty cubits, compassing the sea round about; the gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.

rsv@1Kings:7:31 @ Its opening was within a crown which projected upward one cubit; its opening was round, as a pedestal is made, a cubit and a half deep. At its opening there were carvings; and its panels were square, not round.

rsv@1Kings:7:32 @ And the four wheels were underneath the panels; the axles of the wheels were of one piece with the stands; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

rsv@1Kings:7:33 @ The wheels were made like a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs, were all cast.

rsv@1Kings:7:35 @ And on the top of the stand there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the stand its stays and its panels were of one piece with it.

rsv@1Kings:7:37 @ After this manner he made the ten stands; all of them were cast alike, of the same measure and the same form.

rsv@1Kings:7:38 @ And he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver held forty baths, each laver measured four cubits, and there was a laver for each of the ten stands.

rsv@1Kings:7:40 @ Hiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the LORD:

rsv@1Kings:7:45 @ Now the pots, the shovels, and the basins, all these vessels in the house of the LORD, which Hiram made for King Solomon, were of burnished bronze.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:5 @ So David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kir'iath-je'arim.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:10 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and he smote him because he put forth his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:11 @ And David was angry because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah; and that place is called Pe'rez-uz'za to this day.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:12 @ And David was afraid of God that day; and he said, "How can I bring the ark of God home to me?"

rsv@1Chronicles:13:13 @ So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house of O'bed-e'dom the Gittite.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:1 @ And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also masons and carpenters to build a house for him.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:2 @ And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:11 @ And he went up to Ba'al-pera'zim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood." Therefore the name of that place is called Ba'al-pera'zim.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to smite the army of the Philistines."

rsv@1Chronicles:14:16 @ And David did as God commanded him, and they smote the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:3 @ And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the Levites carried the ark of God upon their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:16 @ David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brethren as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:17 @ So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Jo'el; and of his brethren Asaph the son of Berechi'ah; and of the sons of Merar'i, their brethren, Ethan the son of Kusha'iah;

rsv@1Chronicles:15:27 @ David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenani'ah the leader of the music of the singers; and David wore a linen ephod.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:29 @ And as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and saw King David dancing and making merry; and she despised him in her heart.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:4 @ Moreover he appointed certain of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:5 @ Asaph was the chief, and second to him were Zechari'ah, Je-i'el, Shemi'ramoth, Jehi'el, Mattithi'ah, Eli'ab, Benai'ah, O'bed-e'dom, and Je-i'el, who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals,

rsv@1Chronicles:16:7 @ Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the LORD by Asaph and his brethren.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:12 @ Remember the wonderful works that he has done, the wonders he wrought, the judgments he uttered,

rsv@1Chronicles:16:17 @ which he confirmed as a statute to Jacob, as an everlasting covenant to Israel,

rsv@1Chronicles:16:36 @ Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!" Then all the people said "Amen!" and praised the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:37 @ So David left Asaph and his brethren there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister continually before the ark as each day required,

rsv@1Chronicles:16:39 @ And he left Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

rsv@1Chronicles:16:41 @ With them were Heman and Jedu'thun, and the rest of those chosen and expressly named to give thanks to the LORD, for his steadfast love endures for ever.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:15 @ And the men who have been mentioned by name rose and took the captives, and with the spoil they clothed all that were naked among them; they clothed them, gave them sandals, provided them with food and drink, and anointed them; and carrying all the feeble among them on asses, they brought them to their kinsfolk at Jericho, the city of palm trees. Then they returned to Sama'ria.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:16 @ At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria for help.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:20 @ So Til'gath-pilne'ser king of Assyria came against him, and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz took from the house of the LORD and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave tribute to the king of Assyria; but it did not help him.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, and said, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezeki'ah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi'jah the daughter of Zechari'ah.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:4 @ He brought in the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the square on the east,

rsv@2Chronicles:29:6 @ For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the LORD our God; they have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Therefore the wrath of the LORD came on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them an object of horror, of astonishment, and of hissing, as you see with your own eyes.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:11 @ My sons, do not now be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand in his presence, to minister to him, and to be his ministers and burn incense to him."

rsv@2Chronicles:29:13 @ and of the sons of Eli-za'phan, Shimri and Jeu'el; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechari'ah and Mattani'ah;

rsv@2Chronicles:29:15 @ They gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in as the king had commanded, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:19 @ All the utensils which King Ahaz discarded in his reign when he was faithless, we have made ready and sanctified; and behold, they are before the altar of the LORD."

rsv@2Chronicles:29:22 @ So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and threw it against the altar; and they killed the rams and their blood was thrown against the altar; and they killed the lambs and their blood was thrown against the altar.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:23 @ Then the he-goats for the sin offering were brought to the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands upon them,

rsv@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the commandment of David and of Gad the king's seer and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the LORD through his prophets.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:28 @ The whole assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:29 @ When the offering was finished, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:30 @ And Hezeki'ah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezeki'ah said, "You have now consecrated yourselves to the LORD; come near, bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD." And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings; and all who were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:32 @ The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:34 @ But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had sanctified themselves their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished--for the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in sanctifying themselves.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:35 @ Besides the great number of burnt offerings there was the fat of the peace offerings, and there were the libations for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the LORD was restored.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:1 @ Hezeki'ah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to E'phraim and Manas'seh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD the God of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king and his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to keep the passover in the second month--

rsv@2Chronicles:30:3 @ for they could not keep it in its time because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, nor had the people assembled in Jerusalem--

rsv@2Chronicles:30:4 @ and the plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they decreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that the people should come and keep the passover to the LORD the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers as prescribed.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:6 @ So couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his princes, as the king had commanded, saying, "O people of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:7 @ Do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who were faithless to the LORD God of their fathers, so that he made them a desolation, as you see.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Do not now be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will find compassion with their captors, and return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him."

rsv@2Chronicles:30:10 @ So the couriers went from city to city through the country of E'phraim and Manas'seh, and as far as Zeb'ulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:11 @ Only a few men of Asher, of Manas'seh, and of Zeb'ulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:12 @ The hand of God was also upon Judah to give them one heart to do what the king and the princes commanded by the word of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:13 @ And many people came together in Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:15 @ And they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were put to shame, so that they sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had to kill the passover lamb for every one who was not clean, to make it holy to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, many of them from E'phraim, Manas'seh, Is'sachar, and Zeb'ulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the passover otherwise than as prescribed. For Hezeki'ah had prayed for them, saying, "The good LORD pardon every one

rsv@2Chronicles:30:21 @ And the people of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with all their might to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:23 @ Then the whole assembly agreed together to keep the feast for another seven days; so they kept it for another seven days with gladness.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezeki'ah king of Judah gave the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for offerings, and the princes gave the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. And the priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:25 @ The whole assembly of Judah, and the priests and the Levites, and the whole assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners who came out of the land of Israel, and the sojourners who dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:26 @ So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then the priests and the Levites arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy habitation in heaven.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and hewed down the Ashe'rim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in E'phraim and Manas'seh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:3 @ The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:5 @ As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:10 @ Azari'ah the chief priest, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, "Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the LORD we have eaten and had enough and have plenty left; for the LORD has blessed his people, so that we have this great store left."

rsv@2Chronicles:31:12 @ And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conani'ah the Levite, with Shim'e-i his brother as second;

rsv@2Chronicles:31:13 @ while Jehi'el, Azazi'ah, Nahath, As'ahel, Jer'imoth, Jo'zabad, Eli'el, Ismachi'ah, Mahath, and Benai'ah were overseers assisting Conani'ah and Shim'e-i his brother, by the appointment of Hezeki'ah the king and Azari'ah the chief officer of the house of God.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:14 @ And Ko're the son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the LORD and the most holy offerings.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:15 @ Eden, Mini'amin, Jeshua, Shemai'ah, Amari'ah, and Shecani'ah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their brethren, old and young alike, by divisions,

rsv@2Chronicles:31:16 @ except those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upwards, all who entered the house of the LORD as the duty of each day required, for their service according to their offices, by their divisions.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:17 @ The enrollment of the priests was according to their fathers' houses; that of the Levites from twenty years old and upwards was according to their offices, by their divisions.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:19 @ And for the sons of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land belonging to their cities, there were men in the several cities who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to every one among the Levites who was enrolled.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:20 @ Thus Hezeki'ah did throughout all Judah; and he did what was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:1 @ After these things and these acts of faithfulness Sennach'erib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them for himself.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:4 @ A great many people were gathered, and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?"

rsv@2Chronicles:32:5 @ He set to work resolutely and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it, and outside it he built another wall; and he strengthened the Millo in the city of David. He also made weapons and shields in abundance.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:7 @ "Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him; for there is one greater with us than with him.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this Sennach'erib king of Assyria, who was besieging Lachish with all his forces, sent his servants to Jerusalem to Hezeki'ah king of Judah and to all the people of Judah that were in Jerusalem, saying,

rsv@2Chronicles:32:10 @ "Thus says Sennach'erib king of Assyria, `On what are you relying, that you stand siege in Jerusalem?

rsv@2Chronicles:32:11 @ Is not Hezeki'ah misleading you, that he may give you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, "The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria"?

rsv@2Chronicles:32:12 @ Has not this same Hezeki'ah taken away his high places and his altars and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, "Before one altar you shall worship, and upon it you shall burn your sacrifices"?

rsv@2Chronicles:32:14 @ Who among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed was able to deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?

rsv@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore do not let Hezeki'ah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!'"

rsv@2Chronicles:32:17 @ And he wrote letters to cast contempt on the LORD the God of Israel and to speak against him, saying, "Like the gods of the nations of the lands who have not delivered their people from my hands, so the God of Hezeki'ah will not deliver his people from my hand."

rsv@2Chronicles:32:19 @ And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they spoke of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:21 @ And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he came into the house of his god, some of his own sons struck him down there with the sword.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:22 @ So the LORD saved Hezeki'ah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennach'erib king of Assyria and from the hand of all his enemies; and he gave them rest on every side.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:23 @ And many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem and precious things to Hezeki'ah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from that time onward.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezeki'ah became sick and was at the point of death, and he prayed to the LORD; and he answered him and gave him a sign.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezeki'ah did not make return according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore wrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:27 @ And Hezeki'ah had very great riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of costly vessels;

rsv@2Chronicles:32:31 @ And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to try him and to know all that was in his heart.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:33 @ And Hezeki'ah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manas'seh his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:1 @ Manas'seh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:2 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which his father Hezeki'ah had broken down, and erected altars to the Ba'als, and made Ashe'rahs, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:6 @ And he burned his sons as an offering in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:9 @ Manas'seh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:10 @ The LORD spoke to Manas'seh and to his people, but they gave no heed.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Therefore the LORD brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manas'seh with hooks and bound him with fetters of bronze and brought him to Babylon.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:12 @ And when he was in distress he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:13 @ He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty and heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manas'seh knew that the LORD was God.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manas'seh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD the God of Israel, behold, they are in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:19 @ And his prayer, and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Ashe'rim and the images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:20 @ So Manas'seh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:21 @ Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:22 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manas'seh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that Manas'seh his father had made, and served them.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manas'seh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:1 @ Josi'ah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:2 @ He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Ashe'rim, and the graven and the molten images.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:4 @ And they broke down the altars of the Ba'als in his presence; and he hewed down the incense altars which stood above them; and he broke in pieces the Ashe'rim and the graven and the molten images, and he made dust of them and strewed it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:6 @ And in the cities of Manas'seh, E'phraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naph'tali, in their ruins round about,

rsv@2Chronicles:34:7 @ he broke down the altars, and beat the Ashe'rim and the images into powder, and hewed down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:8 @ Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azali'ah, and Ma-asei'ah the governor of the city, and Jo'ah the son of Jo'ahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:9 @ They came to Hilki'ah the high priest and delivered the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had collected from Manas'seh and E'phraim and from all the remnant of Israel and from all Judah and Benjamin and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:16 @ Shaphan brought the book to the king, and further reported to the king, "All that was committed to your servants they are doing.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:17 @ They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen."

rsv@2Chronicles:34:18 @ Then Shaphan the secretary told the king, "Hilki'ah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it before the king.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:20 @ And the king commanded Hilki'ah, Ahi'kam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asai'ah the king's servant, saying,

rsv@2Chronicles:34:21 @ "Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book."

rsv@2Chronicles:34:22 @ So Hilki'ah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:24 @ Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which was read before the king of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:27 @ because your heart was penitent and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and you have humbled yourself before me, and have rent your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, says the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:1 @ Josi'ah kept a passover to the LORD in Jerusalem; and they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:7 @ Then Josi'ah contributed to the lay people, as passover offerings for all that were present, lambs and kids from the flock to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:8 @ And his princes contributed willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilki'ah, Zechari'ah, and Jehi'el, the chief officers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover offerings two thousand six hundred lambs and kids and three hundred bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:9 @ Conani'ah also, and Shemai'ah and Nethan'el his brothers, and Hashabi'ah and Je-i'el and Jo'zabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the passover offerings five thousand lambs and kids and five hundred bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:11 @ And they killed the passover lamb, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from them while the Levites flayed the victims.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:12 @ And they set aside the burnt offerings that they might distribute them according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so they did with the bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:13 @ And they roasted the passover lamb with fire according to the ordinance; and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay people.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:15 @ The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jedu'thun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not need to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:16 @ So all the service of the LORD was prepared that day, to keep the passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josi'ah.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ and said to them, "We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brethren who have been sold to the nations; but you even sell your brethren that they may be sold to us!" They were silent, and could not find a word to say.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ Then they said, "We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say." And I called the priests, and took an oath of them to do as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ I also shook out my lap and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not perform this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said "Amen" and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of Ar-ta-xerx'es the king, twelve years, neither I nor my brethren ate the food allowance of the governor.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep; fowls likewise were prepared for me, and every ten days skins of wine in abundance; yet with all this I did not demand the food allowance of the governor, because the servitude was heavy upon this people.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now when it was reported to Sanbal'lat and Tobi'ah and to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had built the wall and that there was no breach left in it (although up to that time I had not set up the doors in the gates),

rsv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written, "It is reported among the nations, and Geshem also says it, that you and the Jews intend to rebel; that is why you are building the wall; and you wish to become their king, according to this report.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Now when I went into the house of Shemai'ah the son of Delai'ah, son of Mehet'abel, who was shut up, 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, at night they are coming to kill you."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ But I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live? I will not go in."

rsv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this purpose he was hired, that I should be afraid and act in this way and sin, and so they could give me an evil name, in order to taunt me.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

rsv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecani'ah the son of Arah: and his son Jehoha'nan had taken the daughter of Meshul'lam the son of Berechi'ah as his wife.

rsv@Esther:1:20 @ So when the decree made by the king is proclaimed throughout all his kingdom, vast as it is, all women will give honor to their husbands, high and low."

rsv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's secretaries were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king's satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the princes of all the peoples, to every province in its own script and every people in its own language; it was written in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring.

rsv@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province by proclamation to all the peoples to be ready for that day.

rsv@Esther:3:15 @ The couriers went in haste by order of the king, and the decree was issued in Susa the capital. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.

rsv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mor'decai learned all that had been done, Mor'decai rent his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, wailing with a loud and bitter cry;

rsv@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province, wherever the king's command and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting and weeping and lamenting, and most of them lay in sackcloth and ashes.

rsv@Esther:4:4 @ When Esther's maids and her eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed; she sent garments to clothe Mor'decai, so that he might take off his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.

rsv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, who had been appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mor'decai to learn what this was and why it was.

rsv@Esther:4:7 @ and Mor'decai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

rsv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another quarter, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

rsv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."

rsv@Esther:4:17 @ Mor'decai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.

rsv@Esther:5:1 @ On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, opposite the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne inside the palace opposite the entrance to the palace;

rsv@Esther:5:2 @ and when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight and he held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.

rsv@Esther:5:4 @ And Esther said, "If it please the king, let the king and Haman come this day to a dinner that I have prepared for the king."

rsv@Esther:5:5 @ Then said the king, "Bring Haman quickly, that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the dinner that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:5:6 @ And as they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and fulfil my request, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the dinner which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

rsv@Esther:5:9 @ And Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart. But when Haman saw Mor'decai in the king's gate, that he neither rose nor trembled before him, he was filled with wrath against Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this does me no good, so long as I see Mor'decai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

rsv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mor'decai hanged upon it; then go merrily with the king to the dinner." This counsel pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

rsv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written how Mor'decai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands upon King Ahasu-e'rus.

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

rsv@Esther:6:8 @ let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse which the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set;

rsv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Make haste, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mor'decai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned."

rsv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and brought Haman in haste to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

rsv@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther.

rsv@Esther:7:2 @ And on the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."

rsv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.

rsv@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."

rsv@Esther:7:5 @ Then King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, that would presume to do this?"

rsv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, "A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!" Then Haman was in terror before the king and the queen.

rsv@Esther:7:7 @ And the king rose from the feast in wrath and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

rsv@Esther:7:8 @ And the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was; and the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?" As the words left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman's face.

rsv@Esther:7:9 @ Then said Harbo'na, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, "Moreover, the gallows which Haman has prepared for Mor'decai, whose word saved the king, is standing in Haman's house, fifty cubits high."

rsv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day King Ahasu-e'rus gave to Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mor'decai came before the king, for Esther had told what he was to her;

rsv@Esther:8:5 @ and Esther rose and stood before the king. And she said, "If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.

rsv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther and to Mor'decai the Jew, "Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he would lay hands on the Jews.

rsv@Esther:8:8 @ And you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the king's ring; for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's ring cannot be revoked."

rsv@Esther:8:9 @ The king's secretaries were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and an edict was written according to all that Mor'decai commanded concerning the Jews to the satraps and the governors and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

rsv@Esther:8:10 @ The writing was in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring, and letters were sent by mounted couriers riding on swift horses that were used in the king's service, bred from the royal stud.

rsv@Esther:8:12 @ upon one day throughout all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

rsv@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of what was written was to be issued as a decree in every province, and by proclamation to all peoples, and the Jews were to be ready on that day to avenge themselves upon their enemies.

rsv@Esther:8:14 @ So the couriers, mounted on their swift horses that were used in the king's service, rode out in haste, urged by the king's command; and the decree was issued in Susa the capital.

rsv@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province and in every city, wherever the king's command and his edict came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many from the peoples of the country declared themselves Jews, for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.

rsv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the very day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to get the mastery over them, but which had been changed to a day when the Jews should get the mastery over their foes,

rsv@Esther:9:2 @ the Jews gathered in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus to lay hands on such as sought their hurt. And no one could make a stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.

rsv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mor'decai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the man Mor'decai grew more and more powerful.

rsv@Esther:9:5 @ So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering, and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.

rsv@Esther:9:7 @ and also slew Par-shan-da'tha and Dalphon and Aspa'tha

rsv@Esther:9:9 @ and Parmash'ta and Ar'isai and Ar'idai and Vaiza'tha,

rsv@Esther:9:11 @ That very day the number of those slain in Susa the capital was reported to the king.

rsv@Esther:9:13 @ And Esther said, "If it please the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be allowed tomorrow also to do according to this day's edict. And let the ten sons of Haman be hanged on the gallows."

rsv@Esther:9:14 @ So the king commanded this to be done; a decree was issued in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hanged.

rsv@Esther:9:17 @ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews who were in Susa gathered on the thirteenth day and on the fourteenth, and rested on the fifteenth day, making that a day of feasting and gladness.

rsv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the open towns, hold the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day for gladness and feasting and holiday-making, and a day on which they send choice portions to one another.

rsv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mor'decai recorded these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus, both near and far,

rsv@Esther:9:22 @ as the days on which the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, days for sending choice portions to one another and gifts to the poor.

rsv@Esther:9:23 @ So the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mor'decai had written to them.

rsv@Esther:9:24 @ For Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to crush and destroy them;

rsv@Esther:9:26 @ Therefore they called these days Purim, after the term Pur. And therefore, because of all that was written in this letter, and of what they had faced in this matter, and of what had befallen them,

rsv@Esther:9:27 @ the Jews ordained and took it upon themselves and their descendants and all who joined them, that without fail they would keep these two days according to what was written and at the time appointed every year,

rsv@Esther:9:28 @ that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, in every family, province, and city, and that these days of Purim should never fall into disuse among the Jews, nor should the commemoration of these days cease among their descendants.

rsv@Esther:9:30 @ Letters were sent to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasu-e'rus, in words of peace and truth,

rsv@Esther:9:31 @ that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as Mor'decai the Jew and Queen Esther enjoined upon the Jews, and as they had laid down for themselves and for their descendants, with regard to their fasts and their lamenting.

rsv@Esther:9:32 @ The command of Queen Esther fixed these practices of Purim, and it was recorded in writing.

rsv@Esther:10:1 @ King Ahasu-e'rus laid tribute on the land and on the coastlands of the sea.

rsv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mor'decai the Jew was next in rank to King Ahasu-e'rus, and he was great among the Jews and popular with the multitude of his brethren, for he sought the welfare of his people and spoke peace to all his people.

rsv@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God, and turned away from evil.
