nasb@Joshua:1:11" @When we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

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

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

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

nasb@Joshua:3:7 @Their children whom He raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them along the way.

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

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

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

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

nasb@Joshua:6:13" @These wineskins which we filled were new, and behold, they are torn; and these our clothes and our sandals are worn out because of the very long journey."

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

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

nasb@Joshua:7:2 @that 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.

nasb@Joshua:7:42 @Joshua captured all these kings and their lands at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

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

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

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

nasb@Joshua:13:1 @Now this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.

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

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

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

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

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

nasb@Joshua:18:3" @And you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has been fighting for you.

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

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

nasb@Judges:2:20 @So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers and has not listened to My voice,

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

nasb@Judges:4:23 @'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD, 'Utterly curse its inhabitants; Because they did not come to the help of the LORD, To the help of the LORD against the warriors.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

nasb@Judges:7:24 @Yet Gideon said to them, "I would request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his spoil." (For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

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

nasb@Judges:7:21 @Then Jotham escaped and fled, and went to Beer and remained there because of Abimelech his brother.

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

nasb@Judges:9:37 @She said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me; let me alone two months, that I may go to the mountains and weep because of my virginity, I and my companions."

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

nasb@Judges:10:4 @Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim; and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, O Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasseh."

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

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

nasb@Judges:16:28 @And there was no one to deliver them, because it was far from Sidon and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley which is near Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city and lived in it.

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

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

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

nasb@Judges:19:22" @It shall come about, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we shall say to them, 'Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.'"

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

nasb@Ruth:3:6 @The closest relative said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, because I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, for I cannot redeem it."

nasb@1Samuel:1:6 @Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.

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

nasb@1Samuel:2:2 @Then Hannah prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD, My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

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

nasb@1Samuel:3:21 @And the LORD appeared again at Shiloh, because the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

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

nasb@1Samuel:4:21 @And she called the boy Ichabod, saying, " The glory has departed from Israel," because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

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

nasb@1Samuel:8:18" @Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."

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

nasb@1Samuel:9:16" @About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me."

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

nasb@1Samuel:10:10" @ They cried out to the LORD and said, 'We have sinned because we have forsaken the LORD and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth; but now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve You.'

nasb@1Samuel:10:21" @You must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile.

nasb@1Samuel:10:22" @For the LORD will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because the LORD has been pleased to make you a people for Himself.

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:12:29 @Then Jonathan said, " My father has troubled the land. See now, how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

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

nasb@1Samuel:12:24 @Then Saul said to Samuel, " I have sinned; I have indeed transgressed the command of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and listened to their voice.

nasb@1Samuel:13:7 @But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

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

nasb@1Samuel:17:6" @If your father misses me at all, then say, 'David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city, because it is the yearly sacrifice there for the whole family.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:22:28" @Please forgive the transgression of your maidservant; for the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil will not be found in you all your days.

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

nasb@1Samuel:23:16" @This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, all of you must surely die, because you did not guard your lord, the LORD'S anointed. And now, see where the king's spear is and the jug of water that was at his head."

nasb@1Samuel:23:21 @Then Saul said, " I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again because my life was precious in your sight this day. Behold, I have played the fool and have committed a serious error."

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

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

nasb@1Samuel:27:16 @When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

nasb@1Samuel:27:22 @Then all the wicked and worthless men among those who went with David said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart."

nasb@2Samuel:1:9" @Then he said to me, 'Please stand beside me and kill me, for agony has seized me because my life still lingers in me.'

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

nasb@2Samuel:1:12 @They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

nasb@2Samuel:2:5 @David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, " May you be blessed of the LORD because you have shown this kindness to Saul your lord, and have buried him.

nasb@2Samuel:2:6" @Now may the LORD show lovingkindness and truth to you; and I also will show this goodness to you, because you have done this thing.

nasb@2Samuel:3:11 @And he could no longer answer Abner a word, because he was afraid of him.

nasb@2Samuel:3:30 @So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon.

nasb@2Samuel:5:8 @David became angry because of the LORD'S outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.

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

nasb@2Samuel:9:3 @the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David is honoring your father because he has sent consolers to you? Has David not sent his servants to you in order to search the city, to spy it out and overthrow it?"

nasb@2Samuel:10:6" @He must make restitution for the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and had no compassion."

nasb@2Samuel:10:10 @'Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.'

nasb@2Samuel:10:14" @However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die."

nasb@2Samuel:11:2 @Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:16 @But she said to him, "No, because this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other that you have done to me!" Yet he would not listen to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:22 @But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar.

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

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

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

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

nasb@2Samuel:16:42 @Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's expense, or has anything been taken for us?"

nasb@2Samuel:18:1 @Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the presence of the LORD. And the LORD said, "It is for Saul and his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death."

nasb@2Samuel:18:7 @But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the LORD which was between them, between David and Saul's son Jonathan.

nasb@2Samuel:19:8" @Then the earth shook and quaked, The foundations of heaven were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.

nasb@2Samuel:19:20" @ He also brought me forth into a broad place; He rescued me, because He delighted in me.

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