nkjv@Genesis:18:12 @ Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

nkjv@Genesis:18:13 @ And the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, "Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?'

nkjv@Genesis:18:17 @ And the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing,

nkjv@Genesis:18:18 @ since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

nkjv@Genesis:19:27 @ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:19:28 @ Then he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land which went up like the smoke of a furnace.

nkjv@Genesis:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.

nkjv@Genesis:20:1 @ And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.

nkjv@Genesis:20:2 @ Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

nkjv@Genesis:20:9 @ And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done."

nkjv@Genesis:20:10 @ Then Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you have in view, that you have done this thing?"

nkjv@Genesis:20:11 @ And Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.

nkjv@Genesis:20:14 @ Then Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him.

nkjv@Genesis:20:16 @ Then to Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindicates you before all who are with you and before everybody." Thus she was rebuked.

nkjv@Genesis:20:17 @ So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;

nkjv@Genesis:20:18 @ for the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

nkjv@Genesis:21:1 @ And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken.

nkjv@Genesis:21:2 @ For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

nkjv@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him--whom Sarah bore to him--Isaac.

nkjv@Genesis:21:4 @ Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

nkjv@Genesis:21:5 @ Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

nkjv@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, "God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me."

nkjv@Genesis:21:7 @ She also said, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age."

nkjv@Genesis:21:8 @ So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.

nkjv@Genesis:21:9 @ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing.

nkjv@Genesis:21:10 @ Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac."

nkjv@Genesis:21:11 @ And the matter was very displeasing in Abraham's sight because of his son.

nkjv@Genesis:21:12 @ But God said to Abraham, "Do not let it be displeasing in your sight because of the lad or because of your bondwoman. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your seed shall be called.

nkjv@Genesis:21:14 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

nkjv@Genesis:21:22 @ And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech and Phichol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.

nkjv@Genesis:21:24 @ And Abraham said, "I will swear."

nkjv@Genesis:21:25 @ Then Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech's servants had seized.

nkjv@Genesis:21:27 @ So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.

nkjv@Genesis:21:28 @ And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

nkjv@Genesis:21:29 @ Then Abimelech asked Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?"

nkjv@Genesis:21:33 @ Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

nkjv@Genesis:21:34 @ And Abraham stayed in the land of the Philistines many days.

nkjv@Genesis:22:1 @ Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:22:2 @ Then He said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

nkjv@Genesis:22:3 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

nkjv@Genesis:22:4 @ Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off.

nkjv@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you."

nkjv@Genesis:22:6 @ So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.

nkjv@Genesis:22:7 @ But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, "My father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." Then he said, "Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?"

nkjv@Genesis:22:8 @ And Abraham said, "My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering." So the two of them went together.

nkjv@Genesis:22:9 @ Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

nkjv@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

nkjv@Genesis:22:11 @ But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" So he said, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:22:13 @ Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

nkjv@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

nkjv@Genesis:22:15 @ Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,

nkjv@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

nkjv@Genesis:22:20 @ Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, "Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

nkjv@Genesis:22:23 @ And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

nkjv@Genesis:22:24 @ His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.

nkjv@Genesis:23:1 @ Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.

nkjv@Genesis:23:2 @ So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

nkjv@Genesis:23:3 @ Then Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

nkjv@Genesis:23:5 @ And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

nkjv@Genesis:23:7 @ Then Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

nkjv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me at the full price, as property for a burial place among you."

nkjv@Genesis:23:10 @ Now Ephron dwelt among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the presence of the sons of Heth, all who entered at the gate of his city, saying,

nkjv@Genesis:23:12 @ Then Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land;

nkjv@Genesis:23:14 @ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

nkjv@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out the silver for Ephron which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency of the merchants.

nkjv@Genesis:23:17 @ So the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, which were within all the surrounding borders, were deeded

nkjv@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham as a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

nkjv@Genesis:23:19 @ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:23:20 @ So the field and the cave that is in it were deeded to Abraham by the sons of Heth as property for a burial place.

nkjv@Genesis:24:1 @ Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

nkjv@Genesis:24:2 @ So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please, put your hand under my thigh,

nkjv@Genesis:24:6 @ But Abraham said to him, "Beware that you do not take my son back there.

nkjv@Genesis:24:9 @ So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

nkjv@Genesis:24:10 @ Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

nkjv@Genesis:24:12 @ Then he said, "O LORD God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

nkjv@Genesis:24:15 @ And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.

nkjv@Genesis:24:24 @ So she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah's son, whom she bore to Nahor."

nkjv@Genesis:24:27 @ And he said, "Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren."

nkjv@Genesis:24:29 @ Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.

nkjv@Genesis:24:30 @ So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, "Thus the man spoke to me," that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well.

nkjv@Genesis:24:34 @ So he said, "I am Abraham's servant.

nkjv@Genesis:24:36 @ And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has.

nkjv@Genesis:24:42 @ "And this day I came to the well and said, "O LORD God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go,

nkjv@Genesis:24:45 @ "But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, "Please let me drink.'

nkjv@Genesis:24:47 @ Then I asked her, and said, "Whose daughter are you?' And she said, "The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.

nkjv@Genesis:24:48 @ And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

nkjv@Genesis:24:51 @ Here is Rebekah before you; take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken."

nkjv@Genesis:24:52 @ And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:24:58 @ Then they called Rebekah and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she said, "I will go."

nkjv@Genesis:24:59 @ So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men.

nkjv@Genesis:24:60 @ And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: "Our sister, may you become The mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess The gates of those who hate them."

nkjv@Genesis:24:62 @ Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South.

nkjv@Genesis:24:64 @ Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel;

nkjv@Genesis:24:67 @ Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

nkjv@Genesis:25:1 @ Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

nkjv@Genesis:25:2 @ And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

nkjv@Genesis:25:4 @ And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

nkjv@Genesis:25:6 @ But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the country of the east.

nkjv@Genesis:25:7 @ This is the sum of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years.

nkjv@Genesis:25:8 @ Then Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

nkjv@Genesis:25:20 @ Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

nkjv@Genesis:25:21 @ Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

nkjv@Genesis:26:7 @ And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, "She is my sister"; for he was afraid to say, "She is my wife," because he thought, "lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to behold."

nkjv@Genesis:26:8 @ Now it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked through a window, and saw, and there was Isaac, showing endearment to Rebekah his wife.

nkjv@Genesis:26:15 @ Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with earth.

nkjv@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. He called them by the names which his father had called them.

nkjv@Genesis:26:21 @ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name Sitnah.

nkjv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham's sake."

nkjv@Genesis:26:26 @ Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phichol the commander of his army.

nkjv@Genesis:26:33 @ So he called it Shebah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

nkjv@Genesis:26:35 @ And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.

nkjv@Genesis:27:5 @ Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.

nkjv@Genesis:27:6 @ So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

nkjv@Genesis:27:11 @ And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, "Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man.

nkjv@Genesis:27:42 @ And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, "Surely your brother Esau comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you.

nkjv@Genesis:27:46 @ And Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?"

nkjv@Genesis:28:4 @ And give you the blessing of Abraham, To you and your descendants with you, That you may inherit the land In which you are a stranger, Which God gave to Abraham."

nkjv@Genesis:28:5 @ So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

nkjv@Genesis:28:9 @ So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

nkjv@Genesis:28:13 @ And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.

nkjv@Genesis:29:17 @ Leah's eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.

nkjv@Genesis:29:23 @ Now it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.

nkjv@Genesis:29:24 @ And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid.

nkjv@Genesis:29:25 @ So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?"

nkjv@Genesis:29:29 @ And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid.

nkjv@Genesis:29:30 @ Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban still another seven years.

nkjv@Genesis:29:31 @ When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

nkjv@Genesis:29:32 @ So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "The LORD has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me."

nkjv@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now I will praise the LORD." Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

nkjv@Genesis:30:10 @ And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

nkjv@Genesis:30:11 @ Then Leah said, "A troop comes!" So she called his name Gad.

nkjv@Genesis:30:12 @ And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.

nkjv@Genesis:30:13 @ Then Leah said, "I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed." So she called his name Asher.

nkjv@Genesis:30:14 @ Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

nkjv@Genesis:30:16 @ When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." And he lay with her that night.

nkjv@Genesis:30:17 @ And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.

nkjv@Genesis:30:18 @ Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband." So she called his name Issachar.

nkjv@Genesis:30:19 @ Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.

nkjv@Genesis:30:20 @ And Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she called his name Zebulun.

nkjv@Genesis:30:21 @ Afterward she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

nkjv@Genesis:31:4 @ So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flock,

nkjv@Genesis:31:14 @ Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, "Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?

nkjv@Genesis:31:33 @ And Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the two maids' tents, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah's tent and entered Rachel's tent.

nkjv@Genesis:31:42 @ Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

nkjv@Genesis:31:47 @ Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

nkjv@Genesis:31:49 @ also Mizpah, because he said, "May the LORD watch between you and me when we are absent one from another.

nkjv@Genesis:31:53 @ The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their father judge between us." And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

nkjv@Genesis:32:2 @ When Jacob saw them, he said, "This is God's camp." And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

nkjv@Genesis:32:9 @ Then Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said to me, "Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you':

nkjv@Genesis:33:1 @ Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.

nkjv@Genesis:33:2 @ And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

nkjv@Genesis:33:7 @ And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.

nkjv@Genesis:33:14 @ Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir."

nkjv@Genesis:34:1 @ Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

nkjv@Genesis:34:3 @ His soul was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to the young woman.

nkjv@Genesis:34:5 @ And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came.

nkjv@Genesis:34:13 @ But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.

nkjv@Genesis:34:25 @ Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.

nkjv@Genesis:34:26 @ And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem's house, and went out.

nkjv@Genesis:35:8 @ Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth.

nkjv@Judges:1:16 @ Now the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up from the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South near Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.

nkjv@Judges:1:17 @ And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.

nkjv@Judges:1:18 @ Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.

nkjv@Judges:1:19 @ So the LORD was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.

nkjv@Judges:1:30 @ Nor did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites dwelt among them, and were put under tribute.

nkjv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them.

nkjv@Judges:6:24 @ So Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

nkjv@Judges:7:10 @ But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant,

nkjv@Judges:7:11 @ and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men who were in the camp.

nkjv@Judges:7:22 @ When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

nkjv@Judges:7:24 @ Then Gideon sent messengers throughout all the mountains of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan." Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and seized the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.

nkjv@Judges:8:5 @ Then he said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."

nkjv@Judges:8:6 @ And the leaders of Succoth said, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?"

nkjv@Judges:8:7 @ So Gideon said, "For this cause, when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers!"

nkjv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for one hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword had fallen.

nkjv@Judges:8:11 @ Then Gideon went up by the road of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah; and he attacked the army while the camp felt secure.

nkjv@Judges:8:12 @ When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and routed the whole army.

nkjv@Judges:8:15 @ Then he came to the men of Succoth and said, "Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you ridiculed me, saying, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your weary men?"'

nkjv@Judges:8:18 @ And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" So they answered, "As you are, so were they; each one resembled the son of a king."

nkjv@Judges:8:21 @ So Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

nkjv@Judges:8:27 @ Then Gideon made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, Ophrah. And all Israel played the harlot with it there. It became a snare to Gideon and to his house.

nkjv@Judges:8:32 @ Now Gideon the son of Joash died at a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

nkjv@Judges:9:5 @ Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah and killed his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, because he hid himself.

nkjv@Judges:9:41 @ Then Abimelech dwelt at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, so that they would not dwell in Shechem.

nkjv@Judges:10:1 @ After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the mountains of Ephraim.

nkjv@Judges:10:9 @ Moreover the people of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah also, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.

nkjv@Judges:10:17 @ Then the people of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled together and encamped in Mizpah.

nkjv@Judges:11:1 @ Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah.

nkjv@Judges:11:2 @ Gilead's wife bore sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, "You shall have no inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman."

nkjv@Judges:11:3 @ Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless men banded together with Jephthah and went out raiding with him.

nkjv@Judges:11:5 @ And so it was, when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

nkjv@Judges:11:6 @ Then they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the people of Ammon."

nkjv@Judges:11:7 @ So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me, and expel me from my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?"

nkjv@Judges:11:8 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the people of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nkjv@Judges:11:9 @ So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you take me back home to fight against the people of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them to me, shall I be your head?"

nkjv@Judges:11:10 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The LORD will be a witness between us, if we do not do according to your words."

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

nkjv@Judges:11:12 @ Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, "What do you have against me, that you have come to fight against me in my land?"

nkjv@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably."

nkjv@Judges:11:14 @ So Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon,

nkjv@Judges:11:15 @ and said to him, "Thus says Jephthah: "Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the people of Ammon;

nkjv@Judges:11:20 @ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

nkjv@Judges:11:28 @ However, the king of the people of Ammon did not heed the words which Jephthah sent him.

nkjv@Judges:11:29 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed through Mizpah of Gilead; and from Mizpah of Gilead he advanced toward the people of Ammon.

nkjv@Judges:11:30 @ And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If You will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hands,

nkjv@Judges:11:32 @ So Jephthah advanced toward the people of Ammon to fight against them, and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

nkjv@Judges:11:34 @ When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, there was his daughter, coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing; and she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.

nkjv@Judges:11:40 @ that the daughters of Israel went four days each year to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.

nkjv@Judges:12:1 @ Then the men of Ephraim gathered together, crossed over toward Zaphon, and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the people of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you with fire!"

nkjv@Judges:12:2 @ And Jephthah said to them, "My people and I were in a great struggle with the people of Ammon; and when I called you, you did not deliver me out of their hands.

nkjv@Judges:12:4 @ Now Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, "You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites and among the Manassites."

nkjv@Judges:12:7 @ And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried among the cities of Gilead.

nkjv@Judges:13:2 @ Now there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children.

nkjv@Judges:13:8 @ Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, and said, "O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born."

nkjv@Judges:13:9 @ And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came to the woman again as she was sitting in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.

nkjv@Judges:13:11 @ So Manoah arose and followed his wife. When he came to the Man, he said to Him, "Are You the Man who spoke to this woman?" And He said, "I am."

nkjv@Judges:13:12 @ Manoah said, "Now let Your words come to pass! What will be the boy's rule of life, and his work?"

nkjv@Judges:13:13 @ So the Angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful.

nkjv@Judges:13:15 @ Then Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, "Please let us detain You, and we will prepare a young goat for You."

nkjv@Judges:13:16 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain Me, I will not eat your food. But if you offer a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD." (For Manoah did not know He was the Angel of the LORD.)

nkjv@Judges:13:17 @ Then Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, "What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?"

nkjv@Judges:13:19 @ So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to the LORD. And He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on--

nkjv@Judges:13:20 @ it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar--the Angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground.

nkjv@Judges:13:21 @ When the Angel of the LORD appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:13:22 @ And Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, because we have seen God!"

nkjv@Judges:13:25 @ And the Spirit of the LORD began to move upon him at Mahaneh Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.

nkjv@Judges:14:1 @ Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.

nkjv@Judges:14:2 @ So he went up and told his father and mother, saying, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife."

nkjv@Judges:14:5 @ So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him.

nkjv@Judges:15:9 @ Now the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and deployed themselves against Lehi.

nkjv@Judges:15:10 @ And the men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" So they answered, "We have come up to arrest Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."

nkjv@Judges:15:11 @ Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."

nkjv@Judges:16:4 @ Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

nkjv@Judges:16:6 @ So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you."

nkjv@Judges:16:10 @ Then Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me what you may be bound with."

nkjv@Judges:16:12 @ Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And men were lying in wait, staying in the room. But he broke them off his arms like a thread.

nkjv@Judges:16:13 @ Delilah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me and told me lies. Tell me what you may be bound with." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of the loom"--

nkjv@Judges:16:18 @ When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.

nkjv@Judges:16:31 @ And his brothers and all his father's household came down and took him, and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. He had judged Israel twenty years.

nkjv@Judges:17:1 @ Now there was a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.

nkjv@Judges:17:4 @ Thus he returned the silver to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to the silversmith, and he made it into a carved image and a molded image; and they were in the house of Micah.

nkjv@Judges:17:5 @ The man Micah had a shrine, and made an ephod and household idols; and he consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.

nkjv@Judges:17:7 @ Now there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah; he was a Levite, and was staying there.

nkjv@Judges:17:8 @ The man departed from the city of Bethlehem in Judah to stay wherever he could find a place. Then he came to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.

nkjv@Judges:17:9 @ And Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" So he said to him, "I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am on my way to find a place to stay."

nkjv@Judges:17:10 @ Micah said to him, "Dwell with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver per year, a suit of clothes, and your sustenance." So the Levite went in.

nkjv@Judges:17:12 @ So Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and lived in the house of Micah.

nkjv@Judges:17:13 @ Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, since I have a Levite as priest!"

nkjv@Judges:18:2 @ So the children of Dan sent five men of their family from their territory, men of valor from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and search it. They said to them, "Go, search the land." So they went to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

nkjv@Judges:18:3 @ While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?"

nkjv@Judges:18:4 @ He said to them, "Thus and so Micah did for me. He has hired me, and I have become his priest."

nkjv@Judges:18:8 @ Then the spies came back to their brethren at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, "What is your report?"

nkjv@Judges:18:11 @ And six hundred men of the family of the Danites went from there, from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war.

nkjv@Judges:18:12 @ Then they went up and encamped in Kirjath Jearim in Judah. (Therefore they call that place Mahaneh Dan to this day. There it is, west of Kirjath Jearim.)

nkjv@Judges:18:13 @ And they passed from there to the mountains of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.

nkjv@Judges:18:15 @ So they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man--to the house of Micah--and greeted him.

nkjv@Judges:18:18 @ When these went into Micah's house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molded image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"

nkjv@Judges:18:22 @ When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.

nkjv@Judges:18:23 @ And they called out to the children of Dan. So they turned around and said to Micah, "What ails you, that you have gathered such a company?"

nkjv@Judges:18:26 @ Then the children of Dan went their way. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

nkjv@Judges:18:27 @ So they took the things Micah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.

nkjv@Judges:18:31 @ So they set up for themselves Micah's carved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

nkjv@Judges:19:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

nkjv@Judges:19:2 @ But his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there four whole months.

nkjv@Judges:19:12 @ But his master said to him, "We will not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Israel; we will go on to Gibeah."

nkjv@Judges:19:13 @ So he said to his servant, "Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Gibeah or in Ramah."

nkjv@Judges:19:14 @ And they passed by and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.

nkjv@Judges:19:15 @ They turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah. And when he went in, he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into his house to spend the night.

nkjv@Judges:19:16 @ Just then an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, who also was from the mountains of Ephraim; he was staying in Gibeah, whereas the men of the place were Benjamites.

nkjv@Judges:19:18 @ So he said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah toward the remote mountains of Ephraim; I am from there. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; now I am going to the house of the LORD. But there is no one who will take me into his house,

nkjv@Judges:20:1 @ So all the children of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.

nkjv@Judges:20:3 @ (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) Then the children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wicked deed happen?"

nkjv@Judges:20:4 @ So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "My concubine and I went into Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, to spend the night.

nkjv@Judges:20:5 @ And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me, but instead they ravished my concubine so that she died.

nkjv@Judges:20:9 @ but now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up against it by lot.

nkjv@Judges:20:10 @ We will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make provisions for the people, that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may repay all the vileness that they have done in Israel."

nkjv@Judges:20:13 @ Now therefore, deliver up the men, the perverted men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!" But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:14 @ Instead, the children of Benjamin gathered together from their cities to Gibeah, to go to battle against the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:15 @ And from their cities at that time the children of Benjamin numbered twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred select men.

nkjv@Judges:20:18 @ Then the children of Israel arose and went up to the house of God to inquire of God. They said, "Which of us shall go up first to battle against the children of Benjamin?" The LORD said, "Judah first!"

nkjv@Judges:20:19 @ So the children of Israel rose in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:20 @ And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel put themselves in battle array to fight against them at Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:21 @ Then the children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day cut down to the ground twenty-two thousand men of the Israelites.

nkjv@Judges:20:25 @ And Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah on the second day, and cut down to the ground eighteen thousand more of the children of Israel; all these drew the sword.

nkjv@Judges:20:29 @ Then Israel set men in ambush all around Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:30 @ And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Gibeah as at the other times.

nkjv@Judges:20:31 @ So the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down and kill some of the people, as at the other times, in the highways (one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah) and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:34 @ And ten thousand select men from all Israel came against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not know that disaster was upon them.

nkjv@Judges:20:36 @ So the children of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to the Benjamites, because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:37 @ And the men in ambush quickly rushed upon Gibeah; the men in ambush spread out and struck the whole city with the edge of the sword.

nkjv@Judges:20:43 @ They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and easily trampled them down as far as the front of Gibeah toward the east.

nkjv@Judges:21:1 @ Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife."

nkjv@Judges:21:5 @ The children of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the LORD?" For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nkjv@Judges:21:8 @ And they said, "What one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Mizpah to the LORD?" And, in fact, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.

nkjv@Judges:21:19 @ Then they said, "In fact, there is a yearly feast of the LORD in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah."

nkjv@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

nkjv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion--Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there.

nkjv@Ruth:1:4 @ Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years.

nkjv@Ruth:1:5 @ Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband.

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

nkjv@Ruth:1:14 @ Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

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

nkjv@Ruth:3:15 @ Also he said, "Bring the shawl that is on you and hold it." And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.

nkjv@Ruth:3:17 @ And she said, "These six ephahs of barley he gave me; for he said to me, "Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law."'

nkjv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.

nkjv@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day."

nkjv@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.

nkjv@Ruth:4:12 @ May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the LORD will give you from this young woman."

nkjv@Ruth:4:20 @ Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon;

nkjv@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:2 @ And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:4 @ And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:5 @ But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the LORD had closed her womb.

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

nkjv@1Samuel:1:9 @ So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:15 @ But Hannah answered and said, "No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:19 @ Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:20 @ So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked for him from the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:21 @ Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.

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

nkjv@1Samuel:1:23 @ So Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the LORD establish His word." Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:24 @ Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was young.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:1 @ And Hannah prayed and said: "My heart rejoices in the LORD; My horn is exalted in the LORD. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:11 @ Then Elkanah went to his house at Ramah. But the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you descendants from this woman for the loan that was given to the LORD." Then they would go to their own home.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:21 @ And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:5 @ And Samuel said, "Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:6 @ So they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before the LORD. And they fasted that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:7 @ Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:11 @ And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and drove them back as far as below Beth Car.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:12 @ Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:16 @ He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:17 @ But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:2 @ The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:4 @ Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah,

nkjv@1Samuel:9:1 @ There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them and said, "Yes, there he is, just ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he came to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today on the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:27 @ As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead of us." And he went on. "But you stand here awhile, that I may announce to you the word of God."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, "The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:10:17 @ Then Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah,

nkjv@1Samuel:10:26 @ And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and valiant men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:1 @ Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:2 @ And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I may put out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:4 @ So the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the news in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:8 @ When he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:11 @ And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, Bedan, Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:12 @ And when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, "No, but a king shall reign over us,' when the LORD your God was your king.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:16 @ Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:17 @ Then raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned onto the road to Ophrah, to the land of Shual,

nkjv@1Samuel:14:2 @ And Saul was sitting in the outskirts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron. The people who were with him were about six hundred men.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:3 @ Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. But the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:5 @ The front of one faced northward opposite Michmash, and the other southward opposite Gibeah.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:16 @ Now the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and there was the multitude, melting away; and they went here and there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring the ark of God here" (for at that time the ark of God was with the children of Israel).

nkjv@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of Ammon, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he harassed them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:50 @ The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:4 @ So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:34 @ Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.

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

nkjv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:1 @ Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:2 @ And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had eight sons. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:13 @ The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone to follow Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

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

nkjv@1Samuel:17:19 @ Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:52 @ Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:16 @ But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:18 @ So David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:19 @ Now it was told Saul, saying, "Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!"

nkjv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. So he asked, and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Indeed they are at Naioth in Ramah."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:23 @ So he went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:1 @ Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:1 @ Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one is with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:2 @ So David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, "Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.' And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, "Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:9 @ So the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:3 @ Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:5 @ Now the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah." So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:6 @ When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered--now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him--

nkjv@1Samuel:22:9 @ Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, "I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:11 @ So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:12 @ And Saul said, "Hear now, son of Ahitub!" He answered, "Here I am, my lord."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:14 @ So Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?

nkjv@1Samuel:22:16 @ And the king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house!"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:20 @ Now one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:1 @ Then they told David, saying, "Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:2 @ Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:3 @ But David's men said to him, "Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"

nkjv@1Samuel:23:4 @ Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:6 @ Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:7 @ And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:8 @ Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:12 @ Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, "They will deliver you."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:13 @ So David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he halted the expedition.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:19 @ Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

nkjv@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the clans of Judah."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:18 @ Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five seahs of roasted grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:43 @ David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were his wives.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:1 @ Now the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding in the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:3 @ And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite Jeshimon, by the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:6 @ Then David answered, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:3 @ So David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:10 @ Then Achish would say, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David would say, "Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of the Kenites."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:5 @ And David's two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:7 @ Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, "Please bring the ephod here to me." And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:14 @ We made an invasion of the southern area of the Cherethites, in the territory which belongs to Judah, and of the southern area of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:16 @ And when he had brought him down, there they were, spread out over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoil which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:26 @ Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, "Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD"--

nkjv@2Samuel:2:4 @ Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, "The men of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:7 @ Now therefore, let your hands be strengthened, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:8 @ But Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim;

nkjv@2Samuel:2:18 @ Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab and Abishai and Asahel. And Asahel was as fleet of foot as a wild gazelle.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:19 @ So Asahel pursued Abner, and in going he did not turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:20 @ Then Abner looked behind him and said, "Are you Asahel?" He answered, "I am."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:21 @ And Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:22 @ So Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Joab?"

nkjv@2Samuel:2:23 @ However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:24 @ Joab and Abishai also pursued Abner. And the sun was going down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah by the road to the Wilderness of Gibeon.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:8 @ And David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet." So Uriah departed from the king's house, and a gift of food from the king followed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:9 @ But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:10 @ So when they told David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"

nkjv@2Samuel:11:11 @ And Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:12 @ Then David said to Uriah, "Wait here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:14 @ In the morning it happened that David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:15 @ And he wrote in the letter, saying, "Set Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:16 @ So it was, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:17 @ Then the men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:21 @ Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast a piece of a millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?'--then you shall say, "Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."'

nkjv@2Samuel:11:24 @ The archers shot from the wall at your servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:26 @ When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:8 @ I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!

nkjv@2Samuel:12:9 @ Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:10 @ 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.'

nkjv@2Samuel:12:15 @ Then Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it became ill.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:25 @ and He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet: So he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:26 @ Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and took the royal city.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:27 @ And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and I have taken the city's water supply.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:29 @ So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, fought against it, and took it.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:3 @ But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:32 @ Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, "Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:1 @ So Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was concerned about Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:12 @ Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city--from Giloh--while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom continually increased in number.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:27 @ The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:31 @ Then someone told David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!"

nkjv@2Samuel:15:34 @ But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, "I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father's servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,' then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:36 @ Indeed they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send me everything you hear."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:5 @ Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:9 @ Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:10 @ But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, "Curse David.' Who then shall say, "Why have you done so?"'

nkjv@2Samuel:16:15 @ Meanwhile Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel was with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:20 @ Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give advice as to what we should do."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:21 @ And Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:23 @ Now the advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:1 @ Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:6 @ And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, "Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:7 @ So Hushai said to Absalom: "The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:14 @ So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel." For the LORD had purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring disaster on Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:15 @ Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, "Thus and so Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so I have advised.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:17 @ Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed at En Rogel, for they dared not be seen coming into the city; so a female servant would come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:18 @ Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man's house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:20 @ And when Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" So the woman said to them, "They have gone over the water brook." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:21 @ Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David, and said to David, "Arise and cross over the water quickly. For thus has Ahithophel advised against you."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:23 @ Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father's tomb.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:24 @ Then David went to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:25 @ And Absalom made Amasa captain of the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:27 @ Now it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

nkjv@2Samuel:18:2 @ Then David sent out one third of the people under the hand of Joab, one third under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, "I also will surely go out with you myself."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Let me run now and take the news to the king, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:22 @ And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." So Joab said, "Why will you run, my son, since you have no news ready?"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:23 @ "But whatever happens," he said, "let me run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain, and outran the Cushite.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:27 @ So the watchman said, "I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, "He is a good man, and comes with good news."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:28 @ So Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, "All is well!" Then he bowed down with his face to the earth before the king, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:29 @ The king said, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant and me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was about."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:11 @ So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, "Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:14 @ So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah, just as the heart of one man, so that they sent this word to the king: "Return, you and all your servants!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:15 @ Then the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to escort the king across the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:16 @ And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:21 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, "Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:22 @ And David said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king over Israel?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:32 @ Now Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. And he had provided the king with supplies while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:40 @ Now the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him. And all the people of Judah escorted the king, and also half the people of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:41 @ Just then all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brethren, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king, his household, and all David's men with him across the Jordan?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:42 @ So all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative of ours. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we ever eaten at the king's expense? Or has he given us any gift?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:43 @ And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king; therefore we also have more right to David than you. Why then do you despise us--were we not the first to advise bringing back our king?" Yet the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:2 @ So every man of Israel deserted David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, remained loyal to their king.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:4 @ And the king said to Amasa, "Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:5 @ So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:14 @ And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maachah and all the Berites. So they were gathered together and also went after Sheba.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:15 @ Then they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maachah; and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:23 @ And Joab was over all the army of Israel; Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

nkjv@2Samuel:20:24 @ Adoram was in charge of revenue; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

nkjv@2Samuel:21:2 @ So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; the children of Israel had sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:6 @ let seven men of his descendants be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD chose." And the king said, "I will give them."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:8 @ So the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite;

nkjv@2Samuel:21:10 @ Now Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until the late rains poured on them from heaven. And she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:11 @ And David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:14 @ They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. So they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God heeded the prayer for the land.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:17 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, "You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:23:9 @ And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:11 @ And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:18 @ Now Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of another three. He lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:20 @ Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:22 @ These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three mighty men.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:24 @ Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

nkjv@2Samuel:24:1 @ Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:6 @ Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon;

nkjv@2Samuel:24:7 @ and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:9 @ Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:16 @ And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:18 @ And Gad came that day to David and said to him, "Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:20 @ Now Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:21 @ Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:22 @ Now Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:23 @ All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:24 @ Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

nkjv@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came to all the people, and said, "How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people answered him not a word.

nkjv@1Kings:18:22 @ Then Elijah said to the people, "I alone am left a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

nkjv@1Kings:18:25 @ Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it."

nkjv@1Kings:18:27 @ And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, "Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened."

nkjv@1Kings:18:30 @ Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.

nkjv@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, "Israel shall be your name."

nkjv@1Kings:18:32 @ Then with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.

nkjv@1Kings:18:36 @ And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, "LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your word.

nkjv@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape!" So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there.

nkjv@1Kings:18:41 @ Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain."

nkjv@1Kings:18:42 @ So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,

nkjv@1Kings:18:45 @ Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.

nkjv@1Kings:18:46 @ Then the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

nkjv@1Kings:19:1 @ And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword.

nkjv@1Kings:19:2 @ Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

nkjv@1Kings:19:3 @ And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

nkjv@1Kings:19:9 @ And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nkjv@1Kings:19:13 @ So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nkjv@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, "Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"

nkjv@1Kings:19:21 @ So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen's equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.

nkjv@2Kings:1:1 @ Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

nkjv@2Kings:1:2 @ Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury."

nkjv@2Kings:1:3 @ But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, "Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?'

nkjv@2Kings:1:4 @ Now therefore, thus says the LORD: "You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die."' So Elijah departed.

nkjv@2Kings:1:10 @ So Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men." And fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

nkjv@2Kings:1:12 @ So Elijah answered and said to them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men." And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

nkjv@2Kings:2:4 @ Then Elijah said to him, "Elisha, stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho." But he said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!" So they came to Jericho.

nkjv@2Kings:2:6 @ Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan." But he said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!" So the two of them went on.

nkjv@2Kings:2:8 @ Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

nkjv@2Kings:2:9 @ And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me."

nkjv@2Kings:2:11 @ Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

nkjv@2Kings:2:13 @ He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

nkjv@2Kings:2:14 @ Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

nkjv@2Kings:2:15 @ Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.

nkjv@2Kings:3:1 @ Now Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

nkjv@2Kings:3:9 @ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched on that roundabout route seven days; and there was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.

nkjv@2Kings:3:11 @ But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?" So one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."

nkjv@2Kings:3:14 @ And Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you, nor see you.

nkjv@2Kings:4:31 @ Now Gehazi went on ahead of them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice nor hearing. Therefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, "The child has not awakened."

nkjv@2Kings:5:12 @ Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage.

nkjv@2Kings:5:23 @ So Naaman said, "Please, take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them on ahead of him.

nkjv@2Kings:6:32 @ But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent someone to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"

nkjv@2Kings:7:1 @ Then Elisha said, "Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: "Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria."'

nkjv@2Kings:7:16 @ Then the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@2Kings:7:18 @ So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be sold tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria."

nkjv@2Kings:9:7 @ You shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.

nkjv@2Kings:9:8 @ For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab all the males in Israel, both bond and free.

nkjv@2Kings:9:9 @ So I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.

nkjv@2Kings:9:16 @ So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was laid up there; and Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

nkjv@2Kings:9:21 @ Then Joram said, "Make ready." And his chariot was made ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

nkjv@2Kings:9:29 @ In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.

nkjv@2Kings:23:8 @ And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; also he broke down the high places at the gates which were at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were to the left of the city gate.

nkjv@2Kings:23:11 @ Then he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech, the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:23 @ He dealt wisely, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. He also sought many wives for them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities of Judah and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD: "You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have left you in the hand of Shishak."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:7 @ Now when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:12 @ When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:13 @ Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:15 @ The acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:16 @ So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. Then Abijah his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:1 @ In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:2 @ He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:3 @ Abijah set the battle in order with an army of valiant warriors, four hundred thousand choice men. Jeroboam also drew up in battle formation against him with eight hundred thousand choice men, mighty men of valor.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:4 @ Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:13 @ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:14 @ And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line was at both front and rear; and they cried out to the LORD, and the priests sounded the trumpets.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:15 @ Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:16 @ And the children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:17 @ Then Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter; so five hundred thousand choice men of Israel fell slain.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:18 @ Thus the children of Israel were subdued at that time; and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:19 @ And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephrain with its villages.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:20 @ So Jeroboam did not recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the LORD struck him, and he died.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:21 @ But Abijah grew mighty, married fourteen wives, and begot twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the annals of the prophet Iddo.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abijah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:4 @ He commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandment.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:5 @ He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:6 @ And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest; he had no war in those years, because the LORD had given him rest.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:7 @ Therefore he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah who carried shields and spears, and from Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand men who carried shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:9 @ Then Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:10 @ So Asa went out against him, and they set the troops in battle array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:1 @ Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:2 @ And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:8 @ And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the LORD that was before the vestibule of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:9 @ Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest all around.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:16 @ Also he removed Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:5 @ Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:7 @ And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: "Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:11 @ Note that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:2 @ And he placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:5 @ Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:6 @ And his heart took delight in the ways of the LORD; moreover he removed the high places and wooden images from Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:7 @ Also in the third year of his reign he sent his leaders, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:8 @ And with them he sent Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah--the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:9 @ So they taught in Judah, and had the Book of the Law of the LORD with them; they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught the people.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:10 @ And the fear of the LORD fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:12 @ So Jehoshaphat became increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:13 @ He had much property in the cities of Judah; and the men of war, mighty men of valor, were in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:14 @ These are their numbers, according to their fathers' houses. Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:16 @ and next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:19 @ These served the king, besides those the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:1 @ Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and by marriage he allied himself with Ahab.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:2 @ After some years he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria; and Ahab killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people who were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:3 @ So Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?" And he answered him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:7 @ So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla." And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say such things!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:8 @ Then the king of Israel called one of his officers and said, "Bring Micaiah the son of Imla quickly!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:9 @ The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, clothed in their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:10 @ Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, "Thus says the LORD: "With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:12 @ Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Therefore please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:13 @ And Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, whatever my God says, that I will speak."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:14 @ Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" And he said, "Go and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:18 @ Then Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right hand and His left.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:19 @ And the LORD said, "Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?' So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:23 @ Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the spirit from the LORD go from me to speak to you?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:24 @ And Micaiah said, "Indeed you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:25 @ Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:27 @ But Micaiah said, "If you ever return in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Take heed, all you people!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:28 @ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:1 @ Then Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned safely to his house in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:5 @ Then he set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city,

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:11 @ And take notice: Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters; also the Levites will be officials before you. Behave courageously, and the LORD will be with the good."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:3 @ And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:4 @ So Judah gathered together to ask help from the LORD; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:5 @ Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:7 @ Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever?

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:13 @ Now all Judah, with their little ones, their wives, and their children, stood before the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:14 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:15 @ And he said, "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the LORD to you: "Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:17 @ You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!' Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:18 @ And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:19 @ Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with voices loud and high.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:20 @ So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:22 @ Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:24 @ So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:26 @ And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed the LORD; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:27 @ Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:31 @ So Jehoshaphat was king over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:35 @ After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted very wickedly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:37 @ But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:2 @ He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azaryahu, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:3 @ Their father gave them great gifts of silver and gold and precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:6 @ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of Ahab as a wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:8 @ In his days Edom revolted against Judah's authority, and made a king over themselves.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:10 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:11 @ Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit harlotry, and led Judah astray.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:12 @ And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, 4 Thus says the LORD God of your father David: 4 Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:13 @ but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot like the harlotry of the house of Ahab, and also have killed your brothers, those of your father's household, who were better than yourself,

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:17 @ And they came up into Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:1 @ Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the Arabians into the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:3 @ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do wickedly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:4 @ Therefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:5 @ He also followed their advice, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:7 @ His going to Joram was God's occasion for Ahaziah's downfall; for when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:8 @ And it happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, "because," they said, "he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:10 @ Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:11 @ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were being murdered, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she did not kill him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:12 @ And he was hidden with them in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:1 @ In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and made a covenant with the captains of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:2 @ And they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the chief fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:8 @ So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed the divisions.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:12 @ Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the temple of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:13 @ When she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with musical instruments, and those who led in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:21 @ So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:1 @ Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:5 @ Then he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you do it quickly." However the Levites did not do it quickly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:6 @ So the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD and of the assembly of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:7 @ For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had also presented all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD to the Baals.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:9 @ And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God had imposed on Israel in the wilderness.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:17 @ Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king. And the king listened to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:18 @ Therefore they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served wooden images and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:20 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God: "Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He also has forsaken you."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:23 @ So it happened in the spring of the year that the army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:27 @ Now concerning his sons, and the many oracles about him, and the repairing of the house of God, indeed they are written in the annals of the book of the kings. Then Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:1 @ Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:5 @ Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, according to their fathers' houses, throughout all Judah and Benjamin; and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them to be three hundred thousand choice men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:9 @ Then Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?" And the man of God answered, "The LORD is able to give you much more than this."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:10 @ So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come to him from Ephraim, to go back home. Therefore their anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:11 @ Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and leading his people, he went to the Valley of Salt and killed ten thousand of the people of Seir.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:12 @ Also the children of Judah took captive ten thousand alive, brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were dashed in pieces.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:13 @ But as for the soldiers of the army which Amaziah had discharged, so that they would not go with him to battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and took much spoil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:14 @ Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:15 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was aroused against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, "Why have you sought the gods of the people, which could not rescue their own people from your hand?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:17 @ Now Amaziah king of Judah asked advice and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us face one another in battle."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:18 @ And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, "Give your daughter to my son as wife'; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:19 @ Indeed you say that you have defeated the Edomites, and your heart is lifted up to boast. Stay at home now; why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall--you and Judah with you?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:20 @ But Amaziah would not heed, for it came from God, that He might give them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought the gods of Edom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:21 @ So Joash king of Israel went out; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:22 @ And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:23 @ Then Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate--four hundred cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:25 @ Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:26 @ Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from first to last, indeed are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:27 @ After the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:28 @ Then they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:1 @ Now all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:2 @ He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:3 @ Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:4 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:5 @ He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:8 @ Also the Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he became exceedingly strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:9 @ And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress of the wall; then he fortified them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:11 @ Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by companies, according to the number on their roll as prepared by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:14 @ Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:17 @ So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the LORD--valiant men.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:18 @ And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God."

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:19 @ Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the incense altar.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:20 @ And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the LORD had struck him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:21 @ King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He dwelt in an isolated house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD. Then Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from first to last, the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz wrote.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:23 @ So Uzziah rested with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." Then Jotham his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:1 @ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the LORD). But still the people acted corruptly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:4 @ Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:7 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:9 @ So Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:1 @ Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD, as his father David had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:6 @ For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day, all valiant men, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:7 @ Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam the officer over the house, and Elkanah who was second to the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:9 @ But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: "Look, because the LORD God of your fathers was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand; but you have killed them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:10 @ And now you propose to force the children of Judah and Jerusalem to be your male and female slaves; but are you not also guilty before the LORD your God?

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:12 @ Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:16 @ At the same time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:17 @ For again the Edomites had come, attacked Judah, and carried away captives.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:18 @ The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Sochoh with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they dwelt there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:19 @ For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had encouraged moral decline in Judah and had been continually unfaithful to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz took part of the treasures from the house of the LORD, from the house of the king, and from the leaders, and he gave it to the king of Assyria; but he did not help him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:22 @ Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz became increasingly unfaithful to the LORD. This is that King Ahaz.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:24 @ So Ahaz gathered the articles of the house of God, cut in pieces the articles of the house of God, shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:25 @ And in every single city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:27 @ So Ahaz rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Then Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Therefore the wrath of the LORD fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has given them up to trouble, to desolation, and to jeering, as you see with your eyes.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:12 @ Then these Levites arose: Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah;

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:18 @ Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, "We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offerings with all its articles, and the table of the showbread with all its articles.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:19 @ Moreover all the articles which King Ahaz in his reign had cast aside in his transgression we have prepared and sanctified; and there they are, before the altar of the LORD."

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:20 @ Then King Hezekiah rose early, gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:21 @ And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Then he commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:27 @ Then Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD also began, with the trumpets and with the instruments of David king of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:30 @ Moreover King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezekiah answered and said, "Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD." So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:36 @ Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:1 @ And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:6 @ Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: "Children of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the leaders, at the word of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD provide atonement for everyone

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:20 @ And the LORD listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah gave encouragement to all the Levites who taught the good knowledge of the LORD; and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:25 @ The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced, also the priests and Levites, all the assembly that came from Israel, the sojourners who came from the land of Israel, and those who dwelt in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars--from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh--until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:6 @ And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God they laid in heaps.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:8 @ And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:9 @ Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:10 @ And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the LORD has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance."

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:11 @ Now Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the LORD, and they prepared them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:12 @ Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; Cononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:13 @ Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:14 @ Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the LORD and the most holy things.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:15 @ And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:20 @ Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:1 @ After these deeds of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah; he encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them over to himself.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:2 @ And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:8 @ With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles." And the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him laid siege against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:11 @ Does not Hezekiah persuade you to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, "The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria"?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:12 @ Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, "You shall worship before one altar and burn incense on it"?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?"'

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:16 @ Furthermore, his servants spoke against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:17 @ He also wrote letters to revile the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand."

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:20 @ Now because of this King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:22 @ Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:23 @ And many brought gifts to the LORD at Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the LORD; and He spoke to him and gave him a sign.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah did not repay according to the favor shown him, for his heart was lifted up; therefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:26 @ Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:27 @ Hezekiah had very great riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of desirable items;

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:30 @ This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of Upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:32 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, indeed they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:33 @ So Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and made wooden images; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:9 @ So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:14 @ After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it enclosed Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. Then he put military captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:16 @ He also repaired the altar of the LORD, sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:25 @ But the people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. Then the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:1 @ Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:5 @ He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:8 @ In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:9 @ When they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and which they had brought back to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:11 @ They gave it to the craftsmen and builders to buy hewn stone and timber for beams, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:12 @ And the men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to supervise. Others of the Levites, all of whom were skillful with instruments of music,

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:14 @ Now when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD given by Moses.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:15 @ Then Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD." And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:18 @ Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it before the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:20 @ Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:33 @ Thus Josiah removed all the abominations from all the country that belonged to the children of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel diligently serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not depart from following the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:1 @ Now Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:7 @ Then Josiah gave the lay people lambs and young goats from the flock, all for Passover offerings for all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, as well as three thousand cattle; these were from the king's possessions.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:8 @ And his leaders gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred from the flock, and three hundred cattle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:9 @ Also Conaniah, his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for Passover offerings five thousand from the flock and five hundred cattle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:16 @ So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:18 @ There had been no Passover kept in Israel like that since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests and the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:19 @ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:20 @ After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent messengers to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; for God commanded me to make haste. Refrain from meddling with God, who is with me, lest He destroy you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself so that he might fight with him, and did not heed the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:24 @ His servants therefore took him out of that chariot and put him in the second chariot that he had, and they brought him to Jerusalem. So he died, and was buried in one of the tombs of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:2 @ that Hanani one of my brethren came with men from Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:3 @ And they said to me, "The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire."

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:4 @ So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:5 @ And I said: "I pray, LORD God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments,

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:6 @ please let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father's house and I have sinned.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:7 @ We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:8 @ Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, "If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations;

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:9 @ but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.'

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:11 @ O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." For I was the king's cupbearer.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ Therefore the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart." So I became dreadfully afraid,

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:3 @ and said to the king, "May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:4 @ Then the king said to me, "What do you request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:5 @ And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it."

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:6 @ Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), "How long will your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:7 @ Furthermore I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah,

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:9 @ Then I went to the governors in the region beyond the River, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:10 @ When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard of it, they were deeply disturbed that a man had come to seek the well-being of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:11 @ So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem; nor was there any animal with me, except the one on which I rode.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:13 @ And I went out by night through the Valley Gate to the Serpent Well and the Refuse Gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were burned with fire.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool, but there was no room for the animal under me to pass.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:15 @ So I went up in the night by the valley, and viewed the wall; then I turned back and entered by the Valley Gate, and so returned.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:16 @ And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I had done; I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, or the others who did the work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach."

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. So they said, "Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they laughed at us and despised us, and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ So I answered them, and said to them, "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:1 @ Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They built as far as the Tower of the Hundred, and consecrated it, then as far as the Tower of Hananel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:1 @ But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and very indignant, and mocked the Jews.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:2 @ And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of rubbish--stones that are burned?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:3 @ Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, "Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a land of captivity!

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:5 @ Do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before You; for they have provoked You to anger before the builders.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:7 @ Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry,

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:8 @ and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:9 @ Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ Then Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our adversaries said, "They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ So it was, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they told us ten times, "From whatever place you turn, they will be upon us."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:13 @ Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:17 @ Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:19 @ Then I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated far from one another on the wall.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we labored in the work, and half of the men held the spears from daybreak until the stars appeared.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ At the same time I also said to the people, "Let each man and his servant stay at night in Jerusalem, that they may be our guard by night and a working party by day."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I, my brethren, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me took off our clothes, except that everyone took them off for washing.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:1 @ And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their Jewish brethren.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:2 @ For there were those who said, "We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain, that we may eat and live."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:3 @ There were also some who said, "We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:4 @ There were also those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our lands and vineyards.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:6 @ And I became very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, "Each of you is exacting usury from his brother." So I called a great assembly against them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ And I said to them, "According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?" Then they were silenced and found nothing to say.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:9 @ Then I said, "What you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:10 @ I also, with my brethren and my servants, am lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury!

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Restore now to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also a hundredth of the money and the grain, the new wine and the oil, that you have charged them."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ So they said, "We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say." Then I called the priests, and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, "So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor's provisions.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and took from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes, even their servants bore rule over the people, but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:16 @ Indeed, I also continued the work on this wall, and we did not buy any land. All my servants were gathered there for the work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:17 @ And at my table were one hundred and fifty Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from the nations around us.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in spite of this I did not demand the governor's provisions, because the bondage was heavy on this people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:19 @ Remember me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates),

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:2 @ that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono." But they thought to do me harm.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:3 @ So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:4 @ But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written: It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, "There is a king in Judah!" Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all were trying to make us afraid, saying, "Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will not be done." Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was a secret informer; and 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; indeed, at night they will come to kill you."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:12 @ Then I perceived that God had not sent him at all, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and act that way and sin, so that they might have cause for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:14 @ My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat, according to these their works, and the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid.

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

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:17 @ Also in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also they reported his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:1 @ Then it was, when the wall was built and I had hung the doors, when the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed,

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:2 @ that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the leader of the citadel, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, "Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut and bar the doors; and appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, one at his watch station and another in front of his own house."

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:4 @ Now the city was large and spacious, but the people in it were few, and the houses were not rebuilt.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return, and found written in it:

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:6 @ These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:64 @ These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:65 @ And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:66 @ Altogether the whole assembly was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:71 @ Some of the heads of the fathers' houses gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand gold drachmas, and two thousand two hundred silver minas.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:72 @ And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly garments.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:73 @ So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the Nethinim, and all Israel dwelt in their cities. When the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:1 @ Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:2 @ So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could hear with understanding on the first day of the seventh month.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:3 @ Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:4 @ So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose; and beside him, at his right hand, stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah; and at his left hand Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:5 @ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up.

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

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:7 @ Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, helped the people to understand the Law; and the people stood in their place.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:8 @ So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:11 @ So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, "Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved."

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:12 @ And all the people went their way to eat and drink, to send portions and rejoice greatly, because they understood the words that were declared to them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:13 @ Now on the second day the heads of the fathers' houses of all the people, with the priests and Levites, were gathered to Ezra the scribe, in order to understand the words of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:14 @ And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month,

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:15 @ and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, "Go out to the mountain, and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written."

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:16 @ Then the people went out and brought them and made themselves booths, each one on the roof of his house, or in their courtyards or the courts of the house of God, and in the open square of the Water Gate and in the open square of the Gate of Ephraim.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:17 @ So the whole assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great gladness.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:18 @ Also day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day there was a sacred assembly, according to the prescribed manner.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:1 @ Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, in sackcloth, and with dust on their heads.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:2 @ Then those of Israelite lineage separated themselves from all foreigners; and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:3 @ And they stood up in their place and read from the Book of the Law of the LORD their God for one-fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the LORD their God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:4 @ Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the stairs of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to the LORD their God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:5 @ And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said: "Stand up and bless the LORD your God Forever and ever! "Blessed be Your glorious name, Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:6 @ You alone are the LORD; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:7 @ "You are the LORD God, Who chose Abram, And brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, And gave him the name Abraham;

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:8 @ You found his heart faithful before You, And made a covenant with him To give the land of the Canaanites, The Hittites, the Amorites, The Perizzites, the Jebusites, And the Girgashites-- To give it to his descendants. You have performed Your words, For You are righteous.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:9 @ "You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And heard their cry by the Red Sea.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:10 @ You showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants, And against all the people of his land. For You knew that they acted proudly against them. So You made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:11 @ And You divided the sea before them, So that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; And their persecutors You threw into the deep, As a stone into the mighty waters.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:12 @ Moreover You led them by day with a cloudy pillar, And by night with a pillar of fire, To give them light on the road Which they should travel.

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

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:14 @ You made known to them Your holy Sabbath, And commanded them precepts, statutes and laws, By the hand of Moses Your servant.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:15 @ You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, And brought them water out of the rock for their thirst, And told them to go in to possess the land Which You had sworn to give them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:16 @ "But they and our fathers acted proudly, Hardened their necks, And did not heed Your commandments.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:17 @ They refused to obey, And they were not mindful of Your wonders That You did among them. But they hardened their necks, And in their rebellion They appointed a leader To return to their bondage. But You are God, Ready to pardon, Gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, Abundant in kindness, And did not forsake them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:18 @ "Even when they made a molded calf for themselves, And said, "This is your god That brought you up out of Egypt,' And worked great provocations,

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:19 @ Yet in Your manifold mercies You did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day, To lead them on the road; Nor the pillar of fire by night, To show them light, And the way they should go.

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

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:21 @ Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; They lacked nothing; Their clothes did not wear out And their feet did not swell.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:22 @ "Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations, And divided them into districts. So they took possession of the land of Sihon, The land of the king of Heshbon, And the land of Og king of Bashan.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:23 @ You also multiplied their children as the stars of heaven, And brought them into the land Which You had told their fathers To go in and possess.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:24 @ So the people went in And possessed the land; You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, The Canaanites, And gave them into their hands, With their kings And the people of the land, That they might do with them as they wished.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:25 @ And they took strong cities and a rich land, And possessed houses full of all goods, Cisterns already dug, vineyards, olive groves, And fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled and grew fat, And delighted themselves in Your great goodness.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:26 @ "Nevertheless they were disobedient And rebelled against You, Cast Your law behind their backs And killed Your prophets, who testified against them To turn them to Yourself; And they worked great provocations.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:27 @ Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their enemies, Who oppressed them; And in the time of their trouble, When they cried to You, You heard from heaven; And according to Your abundant mercies You gave them deliverers who saved them From the hand of their enemies.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:28 @ "But after they had rest, They again did evil before You. Therefore You left them in the hand of their enemies, So that they had dominion over them; Yet when they returned and cried out to You, You heard from heaven; And many times You delivered them according to Your mercies,

Yet they acted proudly, And did not heed Your commandments, But sinned against Your judgments, "Which if a man does, he shall live by them.' And they shrugged their shoulders, Stiffened their necks, And would not hear.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:30 @ Yet for many years You had patience with them, And testified against them by Your Spirit in Your prophets. Yet they would not listen; Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:31 @ Nevertheless in Your great mercy You did not utterly consume them nor forsake them; For You are God, gracious and merciful.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:32 @ "Now therefore, our God, The great, the mighty, and awesome God, Who keeps covenant and mercy: Do not let all the trouble seem small before You That has come upon us, Our kings and our princes, Our priests and our prophets, Our fathers and on all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:34 @ Neither our kings nor our princes, Our priests nor our fathers, Have kept Your law, Nor heeded Your commandments and Your testimonies, With which You testified against them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:23 @ The sons of Levi, the heads of the fathers' houses until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib, were written in the book of the chronicles.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:24 @ And the heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers across from them, to praise and give thanks, group alternating with group, according to the command of David the man of God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:25 @ Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were gatekeepers keeping the watch at the storerooms of the gates.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:26 @ These lived in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:27 @ Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:28 @ And the sons of the singers gathered together from the countryside around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites,

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:29 @ from the house of Gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers had built themselves villages all around Jerusalem.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:30 @ Then the priests and Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, the gates, and the wall.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:31 @ So I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two large thanksgiving choirs. One went to the right hand on the wall toward the Refuse Gate.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:32 @ After them went Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah,

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:33 @ and Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:34 @ Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:35 @ and some of the priests' sons with trumpets--Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

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

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:37 @ By the Fountain Gate, in front of them, they went up the stairs of the City of David, on the stairway of the wall, beyond the house of David, as far as the Water Gate eastward.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:38 @ The other thanksgiving choir went the opposite way, and I was behind them with half of the people on the wall, going past the Tower of the Ovens as far as the Broad Wall,

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:39 @ and above the Gate of Ephraim, above the Old Gate, above the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate; and they stopped by the Gate of the Prison.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:40 @ So the two thanksgiving choirs stood in the house of God, likewise I and the half of the rulers with me;

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:41 @ and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Minjamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:42 @ also Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loudly with Jezrahiah the director.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:43 @ Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:44 @ And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:45 @ Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:46 @ For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:47 @ In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for each day. They also consecrated holy things for the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:1 @ On that day they read from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people, and in it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the assembly of God,

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:2 @ because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:3 @ So it was, when they had heard the Law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:4 @ Now before this, Eliashib the priest, having authority over the storerooms of the house of our God, was allied with Tobiah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:5 @ And he had prepared for him a large room, where previously they had stored the grain offerings, the frankincense, the articles, the tithes of grain, the new wine and oil, which were commanded to be given to the Levites and singers and gatekeepers, and the offerings for the priests.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:6 @ But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had returned to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king,

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

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:8 @ And it grieved me bitterly; therefore I threw all the household goods of Tobiah out of the room.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:9 @ Then I commanded them to cleanse the rooms; and I brought back into them the articles of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:10 @ I also realized that the portions for the Levites had not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had gone back to his field.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:11 @ So I contended with the rulers, and said, "Why is the house of God forsaken?" And I gathered them together and set them in their place.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:12 @ Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the storehouse.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:13 @ And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:14 @ Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services!

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:15 @ In those days I saw people in Judah treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I warned them about the day on which they were selling provisions.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:16 @ Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:17 @ Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, "What evil thing is this that you do, by which you profane the Sabbath day?

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:18 @ Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this disaster on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Israel by profaning the Sabbath."

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:19 @ So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath. Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:20 @ Now the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:21 @ Then I warned them, and said to them, "Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you!" From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:23 @ In those days I also saw Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:24 @ And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and could not speak the language of Judah, but spoke according to the language of one or the other people.

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

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:28 @ And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I drove him from me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:29 @ Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:30 @ Thus I cleansed them of everything pagan. I also assigned duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service,

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:31 @ and to bringing the wood offering and the firstfruits at appointed times. Remember me, O my God, for good!

nkjv@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia),

nkjv@Esther:1:2 @ in those days when King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the citadel,

nkjv@Esther:1:9 @ Queen Vashti also made a feast for the women in the royal palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

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

nkjv@Esther:1:15 @ "What shall we do to Queen Vashti, according to law, because she did not obey the command of King Ahasuerus brought to her by the eunuchs?"

nkjv@Esther:1:16 @ And Memucan answered before the king and the princes: "Queen Vashti has not only wronged the king, but also all the princes, and all the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:1:17 @ For the queen's behavior will become known to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when they report, "King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him, but she did not come.'

nkjv@Esther:1:19 @ If it pleases the king, let a royal decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it will not be altered, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.

nkjv@Esther:2:1 @ After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.

nkjv@Esther:2:6 @ Kish had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been captured with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

nkjv@Esther:2:7 @ And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.

nkjv@Esther:2:12 @ Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months' preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.

nkjv@Esther:2:16 @ So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

nkjv@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai sat within the king's gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, doorkeepers, became furious and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:3:1 @ After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

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

nkjv@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

nkjv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people's, and they do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.

nkjv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded--to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nkjv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:7:5 @ So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?"

nkjv@Esther:7:9 @ Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, "Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king's behalf, is standing at the house of Haman." Then the king said, "Hang him on it!"

nkjv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her.

nkjv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, "Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:8:10 @ And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, sealed it with the king's signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on horseback, riding on royal horses bred from swift steeds.

nkjv@Esther:8:12 @ on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

nkjv@Esther:9:2 @ The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, because fear of them fell upon all people.

nkjv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus,

nkjv@Esther:9:30 @ And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews, to the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

nkjv@Esther:10:1 @ And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.

nkjv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:29 @ Their roaring will be like a lion, They will roar like young lions; Yes, they will roar And lay hold of the prey; They will carry it away safely, And no one will deliver.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:30 @ In that day they will roar against them Like the roaring of the sea. And if one looks to the land, Behold, darkness and sorrow; And the light is darkened by the clouds.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:2 @ Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:3 @ And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!"

nkjv@Isaiah:6:4 @ And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:5 @ So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:7 @ And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:8 @ Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:9 @ And He said, "Go, and tell this people: "Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'

nkjv@Isaiah:6:10 @ "Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:11 @ Then I said, "Lord, how long?" And He answered: "Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, The houses are without a man, The land is utterly desolate,

nkjv@Isaiah:6:12 @ The LORD has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:13 @ But yet a tenth will be in it, And will return and be for consuming, As a terebinth tree or as an oak, Whose stump remains when it is cut down. So the holy seed shall be its stump."

nkjv@Isaiah:7:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but could not prevail against it.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told to the house of David, saying, "Syria's forces are deployed in Ephraim." So his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the woods are moved with the wind.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:3 @ Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct from the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller's Field,

nkjv@Isaiah:7:4 @ and say to him: "Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria, and the son of Remaliah.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:5 @ Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted evil against you, saying,

nkjv@Isaiah:7:6 @ "Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and let us make a gap in its wall for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Tabel"--

nkjv@Isaiah:7:7 @ thus says the Lord GOD: "It shall not stand, Nor shall it come to pass.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, And the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken, So that it will not be a people.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:9 @ The head of Ephraim is Samaria, And the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not believe, Surely you shall not be established.""'

nkjv@Isaiah:7:10 @ Moreover the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

nkjv@Isaiah:7:11 @ "Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above."

nkjv@Isaiah:7:12 @ But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the LORD!"

nkjv@Isaiah:7:13 @ Then he said, "Hear now, O house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?

nkjv@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:15 @ Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:17 @ The LORD will bring the king of Assyria upon you and your people and your father's house--days that have not come since the day that Ephraim departed from Judah."

nkjv@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will whistle for the fly That is in the farthest part of the rivers of Egypt, And for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:19 @ They will come, and all of them will rest In the desolate valleys and in the clefts of the rocks, And on all thorns and in all pastures.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:20 @ In the same day the Lord will shave with a hired razor, With those from beyond the River, with the king of Assyria, The head and the hair of the legs, And will also remove the beard.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:21 @ It shall be in that day That a man will keep alive a young cow and two sheep;

nkjv@Isaiah:7:22 @ So it shall be, from the abundance of milk they give, That he will eat curds; For curds and honey everyone will eat who is left in the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:23 @ It shall happen in that day, That wherever there could be a thousand vines Worth a thousand shekels of silver, It will be for briers and thorns.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and bows men will come there, Because all the land will become briers and thorns.

nkjv@Isaiah:7:25 @ And to any hill which could be dug with the hoe, You will not go there for fear of briers and thorns; But it will become a range for oxen And a place for sheep to roam.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:1 @ Moreover the LORD said to me, "Take a large scroll, and write on it with a man's pen concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I will take for Myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:3 @ Then I went to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then the LORD said to me, "Call his name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz;

nkjv@Isaiah:8:4 @ for before the child shall have knowledge to cry "My father' and "My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be taken away before the king of Assyria."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:5 @ The LORD also spoke to me again, saying:

nkjv@Isaiah:8:6 @ "Inasmuch as these people refused The waters of Shiloah that flow softly, And rejoice in Rezin and in Remaliah's son;

nkjv@Isaiah:8:7 @ Now therefore, behold, the Lord brings up over them The waters of the River, strong and mighty-- The king of Assyria and all his glory; He will go up over all his channels And go over all his banks.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:8 @ He will pass through Judah, He will overflow and pass over, He will reach up to the neck; And the stretching out of his wings Will fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:9 @ "Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries. Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces; Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, For God is with us."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:11 @ For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:

nkjv@Isaiah:8:12 @ "Do not say, "A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:13 @ The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:14 @ He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken."

nkjv@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among my disciples.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:17 @ And I will wait on the LORD, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:18 @ Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the LORD of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they say to you, "Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter," should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?

nkjv@Isaiah:8:20 @ To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:21 @ They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

nkjv@Isaiah:8:22 @ Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:1 @ Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, As when at first He lightly esteemed The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, And afterward more heavily oppressed her, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, In Galilee of the Gentiles.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:2 @ The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:3 @ You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:4 @ For You have broken the yoke of his burden And the staff of his shoulder, The rod of his oppressor, As in the day of Midian.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:5 @ For every warrior's sandal from the noisy battle, And garments rolled in blood, Will be used for burning and fuel of fire.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:6 @ For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:7 @ Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:8 @ The LORD sent a word against Jacob, And it has fallen on Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:9 @ All the people will know-- Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria-- Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:

nkjv@Isaiah:9:10 @ "The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, But we will replace them with cedars."

nkjv@Isaiah:9:11 @ Therefore the LORD shall set up The adversaries of Rezin against him, And spur his enemies on,

nkjv@Isaiah:9:12 @ The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:13 @ For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, Nor do they seek the LORD of hosts.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:14 @ Therefore the LORD will cut off head and tail from Israel, Palm branch and bulrush in one day.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:15 @ The elder and honorable, he is the head; The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:16 @ For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:17 @ Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men, Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows; For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, And every mouth speaks folly. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:18 @ For wickedness burns as the fire; It shall devour the briers and thorns, And kindle in the thickets of the forest; They shall mount up like rising smoke.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:19 @ Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts The land is burned up, And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; No man shall spare his brother.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:20 @ And he shall snatch on the right hand And be hungry; He shall devour on the left hand And not be satisfied; Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.

nkjv@Isaiah:9:21 @ Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shall be against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:1 @ "Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, Who write misfortune, Which they have prescribed

nkjv@Isaiah:10:2 @ To rob the needy of justice, And to take what is right from the poor of My people, That widows may be their prey, And that they may rob the fatherless.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:4 @ Without Me they shall bow down among the prisoners, And they shall fall among the slain." For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:5 @ "Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hand is My indignation.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:6 @ I will send him against an ungodly nation, And against the people of My wrath I will give him charge, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:7 @ Yet he does not mean so, Nor does his heart think so; But it is in his heart to destroy, And cut off not a few nations.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:8 @ For he says, "Are not my princes altogether kings?

nkjv@Isaiah:10:9 @ Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

nkjv@Isaiah:10:10 @ As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, Whose carved images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria,

nkjv@Isaiah:10:11 @ As I have done to Samaria and her idols, Shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?"'

nkjv@Isaiah:10:12 @ Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks."

nkjv@Isaiah:10:13 @ For he says: "By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom, for I am prudent; Also I have removed the boundaries of the people, And have robbed their treasuries; So I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:14 @ My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people, And as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; And there was no one who moved his wing, Nor opened his mouth with even a peep."

nkjv@Isaiah:10:15 @ Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Or shall the saw exalt itself against him who saws with it? As if a rod could wield itself against those who lift it up, Or as if a staff could lift up, as if it were not wood!

nkjv@Isaiah:10:16 @ Therefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Will send leanness among his fat ones; And under his glory He will kindle a burning Like the burning of a fire.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:17 @ So the Light of Israel will be for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame; It will burn and devour His thorns and his briers in one day.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:18 @ And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body; And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:19 @ Then the rest of the trees of his forest Will be so few in number That a child may write them.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:20 @ And it shall come to pass in that day That the remnant of Israel, And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, Will never again depend on him who defeated them, But will depend on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:21 @ The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, To the Mighty God.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:22 @ For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of them will return; The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:23 @ For the Lord GOD of hosts Will make a determined end In the midst of all the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:24 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: "O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:25 @ For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction."

nkjv@Isaiah:10:26 @ And the LORD of hosts will stir up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; as His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.

nkjv@Isaiah:10:27 @ It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:7 @ The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River, And everything sown by the River, Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:8 @ The fishermen also will mourn; All those will lament who cast hooks into the River, And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:9 @ Moreover those who work in fine flax And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;

nkjv@Isaiah:19:10 @ And its foundations will be broken. All who make wages will be troubled of soul.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:11 @ Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; Pharaoh's wise counselors give foolish counsel. How do you say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient kings?"

nkjv@Isaiah:19:12 @ Where are they? Where are your wise men? Let them tell you now, And let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:13 @ The princes of Zoan have become fools; The princes of Noph are deceived; They have also deluded Egypt, Those who are the mainstay of its tribes.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:14 @ The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work, As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:15 @ Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail, Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:16 @ In that day Egypt will be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He waves over it.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:17 @ And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts which He has determined against it.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:18 @ In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear by the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:19 @ In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:20 @ And it will be for a sign and for a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:21 @ Then the LORD will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day, and will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the LORD and perform it.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:22 @ And the LORD will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal it; they will return to the LORD, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.

nkjv@Isaiah:19:23 @ In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.

nkjv@Isaiah:20:2 @ at the same time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and remove the sackcloth from your body, and take your sandals off your feet." And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

nkjv@Isaiah:20:3 @ Then the LORD said, "Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and a wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,

nkjv@Isaiah:20:4 @ so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

nkjv@Isaiah:20:6 @ And the inhabitant of this territory will say in that day, "Surely such is our expectation, wherever we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and how shall we escape?"'

nkjv@Isaiah:21:1 @ The burden against the Wilderness of the Sea. As whirlwinds in the South pass through, So it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:2 @ A distressing vision is declared to me; The treacherous dealer deals treacherously, And the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All its sighing I have made to cease.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:3 @ Therefore my loins are filled with pain; Pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor. I was distressed when I heard it; I was dismayed when I saw it.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:4 @ My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me; The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:5 @ Prepare the table, Set a watchman in the tower, Eat and drink. Arise, you princes, Anoint the shield!

nkjv@Isaiah:21:6 @ For thus has the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees."

nkjv@Isaiah:21:7 @ And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen, A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels, And he listened earnestly with great care.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:8 @ Then he cried, "A lion, my Lord! I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime; I have sat at my post every night.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:9 @ And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!" Then he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground."

nkjv@Isaiah:21:10 @ Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I have declared to you.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:11 @ The burden against Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"

nkjv@Isaiah:21:12 @ The watchman said, "The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; Return! Come back!"

nkjv@Isaiah:21:13 @ The burden against Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge, O you traveling companies of Dedanites.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:14 @ O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Bring water to him who is thirsty; With their bread they met him who fled.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:15 @ For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, From the bent bow, and from the distress of war.

nkjv@Isaiah:21:16 @ For thus the LORD has said to me: "Within a year, according to the year of a hired man, all the glory of Kedar will fail;

nkjv@Isaiah:21:17 @ and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it."

nkjv@Isaiah:22:2 @ You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:3 @ All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore I said, "Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people."

nkjv@Isaiah:22:5 @ For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord GOD of hosts In the Valley of Vision-- Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:6 @ Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:7 @ It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:8 @ He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest;

nkjv@Isaiah:22:9 @ You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:10 @ You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:11 @ You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:12 @ And in that day the Lord GOD of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.

nkjv@Isaiah:22:13 @ But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

nkjv@Isaiah:23:3 @ And on great waters the grain of Shihor, The harvest of the River, is her revenue; And she is a marketplace for the nations.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:4 @ Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea has spoken, The strength of the sea, saying, "I do not labor, nor bring forth children; Neither do I rear young men, Nor bring up virgins."

nkjv@Isaiah:23:5 @ When the report reaches Egypt, They also will be in agony at the report of Tyre.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:6 @ Cross over to Tarshish; Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland!

nkjv@Isaiah:23:10 @ Overflow through your land like the River, O daughter of Tarshish; There is no more strength.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:11 @ He stretched out His hand over the sea, He shook the kingdoms; The LORD has given a commandment against Canaan To destroy its strongholds.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:12 @ And He said, "You will rejoice no more, O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus; There also you will have no rest."

nkjv@Isaiah:23:13 @ Behold, the land of the Chaldeans, This people which was not; Assyria founded it for wild beasts of the desert. They set up its towers, They raised up its palaces, And brought it to ruin.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:14 @ Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For your strength is laid waste.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:15 @ Now it shall come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

nkjv@Isaiah:23:17 @ And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the LORD will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire, and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:23:18 @ Her gain and her pay will be set apart for the LORD; it will not be treasured nor laid up, for her gain will be for those who dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for fine clothing.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:1 @ Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste, Distorts its surface And scatters abroad its inhabitants.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:2 @ And it shall be: As with the people, so with the priest; As with the servant, so with his master; As with the maid, so with her mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the lender, so with the borrower; As with the creditor, so with the debtor.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:3 @ The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered, For the LORD has spoken this word.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:10 @ The city of confusion is broken down; Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:11 @ There is a cry for wine in the streets, All joy is darkened, The mirth of the land is gone.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:12 @ In the city desolation is left, And the gate is stricken with destruction.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:13 @ When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people, It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, Like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:14 @ They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; For the majesty of the LORD They shall cry aloud from the sea.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:18 @ And it shall be That he who flees from the noise of the fear Shall fall into the pit, And he who comes up from the midst of the pit Shall be caught in the snare; For the windows from on high are open, And the foundations of the earth are shaken.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:19 @ The earth is violently broken, The earth is split open, The earth is shaken exceedingly.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:20 @ The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, And shall totter like a hut; Its transgression shall be heavy upon it, And it will fall, and not rise again.

nkjv@Isaiah:24:21 @ It shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones, And on the earth the kings of the earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:1 @ O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:2 @ For You have made a city a ruin, A fortified city a ruin, A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; It will never be rebuilt.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore the strong people will glorify You; The city of the terrible nations will fear You.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:4 @ For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:5 @ You will reduce the noise of aliens, As heat in a dry place; As heat in the shadow of a cloud, The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:6 @ And in this mountain The LORD of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:7 @ And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:8 @ He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:9 @ And it will be said in that day: "Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

nkjv@Isaiah:25:10 @ For on this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest, And Moab shall be trampled down under Him, As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:11 @ And He will spread out His hands in their midst As a swimmer reaches out to swim, And He will bring down their pride Together with the trickery of their hands.

nkjv@Isaiah:25:12 @ The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:1 @ In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:2 @ Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:3 @ You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:4 @ Trust in the LORD forever, For in Yah, the LORD, is everlasting strength.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:5 @ For He brings down those who dwell on high, The lofty city; He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He brings it down to the dust.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot shall tread it down-- The feet of the poor And the steps of the needy."

nkjv@Isaiah:26:7 @ The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:8 @ Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O LORD, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:9 @ With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:10 @ Let grace be shown to the wicked, Yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, And will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:11 @ LORD, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see. But they will see and be ashamed For their envy of people; Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:12 @ LORD, You will establish peace for us, For You have also done all our works in us.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:13 @ O LORD our God, masters besides You Have had dominion over us; But by You only we make mention of Your name.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:14 @ They are dead, they will not live; They are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, And made all their memory to perish.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:15 @ You have increased the nation, O LORD, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:16 @ LORD, in trouble they have visited You, They poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:17 @ As a woman with child Is in pain and cries out in her pangs, When she draws near the time of her delivery, So have we been in Your sight, O LORD.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:18 @ We have been with child, we have been in pain; We have, as it were, brought forth wind; We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:19 @ Your dead shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:20 @ Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past.

nkjv@Isaiah:26:21 @ For behold, the LORD comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:1 @ In that day the LORD with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:2 @ In that day sing to her, "A vineyard of red wine!

nkjv@Isaiah:27:3 @ I, the LORD, keep it, I water it every moment; Lest any hurt it, I keep it night and day.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:4 @ Fury is not in Me. Who would set briers and thorns Against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:5 @ Or let him take hold of My strength, That he may make peace with Me; And he shall make peace with Me."

nkjv@Isaiah:27:6 @ Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob; Israel shall blossom and bud, And fill the face of the world with fruit.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:7 @ Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him? Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?

nkjv@Isaiah:27:8 @ In measure, by sending it away, You contended with it. He removes it by His rough wind In the day of the east wind.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:9 @ Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered; And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: When he makes all the stones of the altar Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust, Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:10 @ Yet the fortified city will be desolate, The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness; There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down And consume its branches.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:11 @ When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off; The women come and set them on fire. For it is a people of no understanding; Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them, And He who formed them will show them no favor.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:12 @ And it shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will thresh, From the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt; And you will be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:27:13 @ So it shall be in that day: The great trumpet will be blown; They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:1 @ Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valleys, To those who are overcome with wine!

nkjv@Isaiah:28:2 @ Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:3 @ The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, Will be trampled underfoot;

nkjv@Isaiah:28:4 @ And the glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valley, Like the first fruit before the summer, Which an observer sees; He eats it up while it is still in his hand.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:5 @ In that day the LORD of hosts will be For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty To the remnant of His people,

nkjv@Isaiah:28:6 @ For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:7 @ But they also have erred through wine, And through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, They are swallowed up by wine, They are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:8 @ For all tables are full of vomit and filth; No place is clean.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:9 @ "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts?

nkjv@Isaiah:28:10 @ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little."

nkjv@Isaiah:28:11 @ For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people,

nkjv@Isaiah:28:12 @ To whom He said, "This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest," And, "This is the refreshing"; Yet they would not hear.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:13 @ But the word of the LORD was to them, "Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little," That they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:14 @ Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,

nkjv@Isaiah:28:15 @ Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves."

nkjv@Isaiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:17 @ Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:18 @ Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:19 @ As often as it goes out it will take you; For morning by morning it will pass over, And by day and by night; It will be a terror just to understand the report."

nkjv@Isaiah:28:20 @ For the bed is too short to stretch out on, And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:21 @ For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon-- That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:22 @ Now therefore, do not be mockers, Lest your bonds be made strong; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts, A destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:23 @ Give ear and hear my voice, Listen and hear my speech.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:24 @ Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods?

nkjv@Isaiah:28:25 @ When he has leveled its surface, Does he not sow the black cummin And scatter the cummin, Plant the wheat in rows, The barley in the appointed place, And the spelt in its place?

nkjv@Isaiah:28:26 @ For He instructs him in right judgment, His God teaches him.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:27 @ For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin; But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick, And the cummin with a rod.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:28 @ Bread flour must be ground; Therefore he does not thresh it forever, Break it with his cartwheel, Or crush it with his horsemen.

nkjv@Isaiah:28:29 @ This also comes from the LORD of hosts, Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:1 @ "Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Add year to year; Let feasts come around.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:2 @ Yet I will distress Ariel; There shall be heaviness and sorrow, And it shall be to Me as Ariel.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:3 @ I will encamp against you all around, I will lay siege against you with a mound, And I will raise siegeworks against you.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:4 @ You shall be brought down, You shall speak out of the ground; Your speech shall be low, out of the dust; Your voice shall be like a medium's, out of the ground; And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:5 @ "Moreover the multitude of your foes Shall be like fine dust, And the multitude of the terrible ones Like chaff that passes away; Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:6 @ You will be punished by the LORD of hosts With thunder and earthquake and great noise, With storm and tempest And the flame of devouring fire.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:7 @ The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, Even all who fight against her and her fortress, And distress her, Shall be as a dream of a night vision.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:8 @ It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, And look--he eats; But he awakes, and his soul is still empty; Or as when a thirsty man dreams, And look--he drinks; But he awakes, and indeed he is faint, And his soul still craves: So the multitude of all the nations shall be, Who fight against Mount Zion."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:9 @ Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:10 @ For the LORD has poured out on you The spirit of deep sleep, And has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, namely, the seers.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:11 @ The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:12 @ Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I am not literate."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:13 @ Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,

nkjv@Isaiah:29:14 @ Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden."

nkjv@Isaiah:29:15 @ Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the LORD, And their works are in the dark; They say, "Who sees us?" and, "Who knows us?"

nkjv@Isaiah:29:16 @ Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, "He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?

nkjv@Isaiah:29:17 @ Is it not yet a very little while Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?

nkjv@Isaiah:29:18 @ In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:19 @ The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:20 @ For the terrible one is brought to nothing, The scornful one is consumed, And all who watch for iniquity are cut off--

nkjv@Isaiah:29:21 @ Who make a man an offender by a word, And lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, And turn aside the just by empty words.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:22 @ Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall not now be ashamed, Nor shall his face now grow pale;

nkjv@Isaiah:29:23 @ But when he sees his children, The work of My hands, in his midst, They will hallow My name, And hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And fear the God of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:29:24 @ These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding, And those who complained will learn doctrine."

nkjv@Isaiah:30:1 @ "Woe to the rebellious children," says the LORD, "Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but not of My Spirit, That they may add sin to sin;

nkjv@Isaiah:30:2 @ Who walk to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My advice, To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

nkjv@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore the strength of Pharaoh Shall be your shame, And trust in the shadow of Egypt Shall be your humiliation.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:4 @ For his princes were at Zoan, And his ambassadors came to Hanes.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:5 @ They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them, Or be help or benefit, But a shame and also a reproach."

nkjv@Isaiah:30:6 @ The burden against the beasts of the South. Through a land of trouble and anguish, From which came the lioness and lion, The viper and fiery flying serpent, They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys, And their treasures on the humps of camels, To a people who shall not profit;

nkjv@Isaiah:30:7 @ For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose. Therefore I have called her Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:8 @ Now go, write it before them on a tablet, And note it on a scroll, That it may be for time to come, Forever and ever:

nkjv@Isaiah:30:9 @ That this is a rebellious people, Lying children, Children who will not hear the law of the LORD;

nkjv@Isaiah:30:10 @ Who say to the seers, "Do not see," And to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:11 @ Get out of the way, Turn aside from the path, Cause the Holy One of Israel To cease from before us."

nkjv@Isaiah:30:12 @ Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel: "Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them,

nkjv@Isaiah:30:13 @ Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:14 @ And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter's vessel, Which is broken in pieces; He shall not spare. So there shall not be found among its fragments A shard to take fire from the hearth, Or to take water from the cistern."

nkjv@Isaiah:30:15 @ For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not,

nkjv@Isaiah:30:16 @ And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses"-- Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses"-- Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!

nkjv@Isaiah:30:17 @ One thousand shall flee at the threat of one, At the threat of five you shall flee, Till you are left as a pole on top of a mountain And as a banner on a hill.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:18 @ Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:19 @ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:20 @ And though the Lord gives you The bread of adversity and the water of affliction, Yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, But your eyes shall see your teachers.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:21 @ Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:22 @ You will also defile the covering of your images of silver, And the ornament of your molded images of gold. You will throw them away as an unclean thing; You will say to them, "Get away!"

nkjv@Isaiah:30:23 @ Then He will give the rain for your seed With which you sow the ground, And bread of the increase of the earth; It will be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle will feed In large pastures.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:24 @ Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground Will eat cured fodder, Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:25 @ There will be on every high mountain And on every high hill Rivers and streams of waters, In the day of the great slaughter, When the towers fall.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:26 @ Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people And heals the stroke of their wound.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:27 @ Behold, the name of the LORD comes from afar, Burning with His anger, And His burden is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, And His tongue like a devouring fire.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:28 @ His breath is like an overflowing stream, Which reaches up to the neck, To sift the nations with the sieve of futility; And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, Causing them to err.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:29 @ You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the LORD, To the Mighty One of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:30 @ The LORD will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And show the descent of His arm, With the indignation of His anger And the flame of a devouring fire, With scattering, tempest, and hailstones.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:31 @ For through the voice of the LORD Assyria will be beaten down, As He strikes with the rod.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:32 @ And in every place where the staff of punishment passes, Which the LORD lays on him, It will be with tambourines and harps; And in battles of brandishing He will fight with it.

nkjv@Isaiah:30:33 @ For Tophet was established of old, Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made it deep and large; Its pyre is fire with much wood; The breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, Kindles it.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the LORD!

nkjv@Isaiah:31:2 @ Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster, And will not call back His words, But will arise against the house of evildoers, And against the help of those who work iniquity.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:3 @ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, Both he who helps will fall, And he who is helped will fall down; They all will perish together.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus the LORD has spoken to me: "As a lion roars, And a young lion over his prey (When a multitude of shepherds is summoned against him, He will not be afraid of their voice Nor be disturbed by their noise), So the LORD of hosts will come down To fight for Mount Zion and for its hill.

nkjv@Isaiah:31:5 @ Like birds flying about, So will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver it; Passing over, He will preserve it."

nkjv@Isaiah:31:6 @ Return to Him against whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:1 @ Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, And princes will rule with justice.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:2 @ A man will be as a hiding place from the wind, And a cover from the tempest, As rivers of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:3 @ The eyes of those who see will not be dim, And the ears of those who hear will listen.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:4 @ Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge, And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:5 @ The foolish person will no longer be called generous, Nor the miser said to be bountiful;

nkjv@Isaiah:32:6 @ For the foolish person will speak foolishness, And his heart will work iniquity: To practice ungodliness, To utter error against the LORD, To keep the hungry unsatisfied, And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:7 @ Also the schemes of the schemer are evil; He devises wicked plans To destroy the poor with lying words, Even when the needy speaks justice.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:8 @ But a generous man devises generous things, And by generosity he shall stand.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent ones; Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare, And gird sackcloth on your waists.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:12 @ People shall mourn upon their breasts For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:13 @ On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers, Yes, on all the happy homes in the joyous city;

nkjv@Isaiah:32:14 @ Because the palaces will be forsaken, The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks--

nkjv@Isaiah:32:15 @ Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:17 @ The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

nkjv@Isaiah:32:18 @ My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places,

nkjv@Isaiah:32:20 @ Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, Who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:1 @ Woe to you who plunder, though you have not been plundered; And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you! When you cease plundering, You will be plundered; When you make an end of dealing treacherously, They will deal treacherously with you.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:2 @ O LORD, be gracious to us; We have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, Our salvation also in the time of trouble.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:3 @ At the noise of the tumult the people shall flee; When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;

nkjv@Isaiah:33:4 @ And Your plunder shall be gathered Like the gathering of the caterpillar; As the running to and fro of locusts, He shall run upon them.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:5 @ The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:6 @ Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the LORD is His treasure.

nkjv@Isaiah:33:7 @ Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside, The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:2 @ In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was penetrated.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:3 @ Then all the princes of the king of Babylon came in and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergal-Sarezer, Rabmag, with the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:4 @ So it was, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled and went out of the city by night, by way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls. And he went out by way of the plain.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:5 @ But the Chaldean army pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And when they had captured him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:6 @ Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes in Riblah; the king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:7 @ Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with bronze fetters to carry him off to Babylon.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:8 @ And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:9 @ Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who remained in the city and those who defected to him, with the rest of the people who remained.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:10 @ But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left in the land of Judah the poor people, who had nothing, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:11 @ Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:12 @ "Take him and look after him, and do him no harm; but do to him just as he says to you."

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:13 @ So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent Nebushasban, Rabsaris, Nergal-Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's chief officers;

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:14 @ then they sent someone to take Jeremiah from the court of the prison, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should take him home. So he dwelt among the people.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:15 @ Meanwhile the word of the LORD had come to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:16 @ "Go and speak to Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian, saying, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for adversity and not for good, and they shall be performed in that day before you.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:17 @ But I will deliver you in that day," says the LORD, "and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.

nkjv@Jeremiah:39:18 @ For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me," says the LORD."'

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:1 @ The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him bound in chains among all who were carried away captive from Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:2 @ And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah and said to him: "The LORD your God has pronounced this doom on this place.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:3 @ Now the LORD has brought it, and has done just as He said. Because you people have sinned against the LORD, and not obeyed His voice, therefore this thing has come upon you.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:4 @ And now look, I free you this day from the chains that were on your hand. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you. But if it seems wrong for you to come with me to Babylon, remain here. See, all the land is before you; wherever it seems good and convenient for you to go, go there."

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:5 @ Now while Jeremiah had not yet gone back, Nebuzaradan said, "Go back to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people. Or go wherever it seems convenient for you to go." So the captain of the guard gave him rations and a gift and let him go.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:6 @ Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people who were left in the land.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:7 @ And when all the captains of the armies who were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, women, children, and the poorest of the land who had not been carried away captive to Babylon,

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:8 @ then they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah--Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:9 @ And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, took an oath before them and their men, saying, "Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:10 @ As for me, I will indeed dwell at Mizpah and serve the Chaldeans who come to us. But you, gather wine and summer fruit and oil, put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken."

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:11 @ Likewise, when all the Jews who were in Moab, among the Ammonites, in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan,

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:12 @ then all the Jews returned out of all places where they had been driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruit in abundance.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:13 @ Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields came to Gedaliah at Mizpah,

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:14 @ and said to him, "Do you certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to murder you?" But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam did not believe them.

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:15 @ Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah in Mizpah, saying, "Let me go, please, and I will kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he murder you, so that all the Jews who are gathered to you would be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?"

nkjv@Jeremiah:40:16 @ But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, "You shall not do this thing, for you speak falsely concerning Ishmael."

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:1 @ Now it came to pass in the seventh month that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family and of the officers of the king, came with ten men to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And there they ate bread together in Mizpah.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:2 @ Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, arose and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:3 @ Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:4 @ And it happened, on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, when as yet no one knew it,

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:5 @ that certain men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men with their beards shaved and their clothes torn, having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:6 @ Now Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went along; and it happened as he met them that he said to them, "Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!"

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:7 @ So it was, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them and cast them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who were with him.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:8 @ But ten men were found among them who said to Ishmael, "Do not kill us, for we have treasures of wheat, barley, oil, and honey in the field." So he desisted and did not kill them among their brethren.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:9 @ Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had slain, because of Gedaliah, was the same one Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:10 @ Then Ishmael carried away captive all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive and departed to go over to the Ammonites.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:11 @ But when Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces that were with him heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:12 @ they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah; and they found him by the great pool that is in Gibeon.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:13 @ So it was, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, that they were glad.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:14 @ Then all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:15 @ But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the Ammonites.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:16 @ Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, took from Mizpah all the rest of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah after he had murdered Gedaliah the son of Ahikam--the mighty men of war and the women and the children and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:17 @ And they departed and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, as they went on their way to Egypt,

nkjv@Jeremiah:41:18 @ because of the Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had murdered Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had made governor in the land.

nkjv@Jeremiah:42:1 @ Now all the captains of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, came near

nkjv@Jeremiah:42:2 @ and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please, let our petition be acceptable to you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, for all this remnant (since we are left but a few of many, as you can see),

nkjv@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

nkjv@Jonah:1:4 @ But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.

nkjv@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.

nkjv@Jonah:1:6 @ So the captain came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish."

nkjv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

nkjv@Jonah:1:8 @ Then they said to him, "Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?"

nkjv@Jonah:1:9 @ So he said to them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."

nkjv@Jonah:1:10 @ Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "Why have you done this?" For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

nkjv@Jonah:1:11 @ Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?"--for the sea was growing more tempestuous.

nkjv@Jonah:1:12 @ And he said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me."

nkjv@Jonah:1:13 @ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them.

nkjv@Jonah:1:14 @ Therefore they cried out to the LORD and said, "We pray, O LORD, please do not let us perish for this man's life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You."

nkjv@Jonah:1:15 @ So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.

nkjv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD and took vows.

nkjv@Jonah:1:17 @ Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

nkjv@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly.

nkjv@Jonah:2:2 @ And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice.

nkjv@Jonah:2:3 @ For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.

nkjv@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head.

nkjv@Jonah:2:10 @ So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

nkjv@Jonah:3:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,

nkjv@Jonah:3:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you."

nkjv@Jonah:3:3 @ So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent.

nkjv@Jonah:3:4 @ And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day's walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"

nkjv@Jonah:3:5 @ So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.

nkjv@Jonah:3:6 @ Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.

nkjv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.

nkjv@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.

nkjv@Jonah:3:9 @ Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?

nkjv@Jonah:3:10 @ Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.

nkjv@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry.

nkjv@Jonah:4:2 @ So he prayed to the LORD, and said, "Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.

nkjv@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!"

nkjv@Jonah:4:4 @ Then the LORD said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"

nkjv@Jonah:4:5 @ So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.

nkjv@Jonah:4:6 @ And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.

nkjv@Jonah:4:7 @ But as morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered.

nkjv@Jonah:4:8 @ And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."

nkjv@Jonah:4:9 @ Then God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "It is right for me to be angry, even to death!"

nkjv@Jonah:4:10 @ But the LORD said, "You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night.

nkjv@Jonah:4:11 @ And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left--and much livestock?"

nkjv@Micah:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

nkjv@Micah:1:2 @ Hear, all you peoples! Listen, O earth, and all that is in it! Let the Lord GOD be a witness against you, The Lord from His holy temple.

nkjv@Micah:1:3 @ For behold, the LORD is coming out of His place; He will come down And tread on the high places of the earth.

nkjv@Micah:1:4 @ The mountains will melt under Him, And the valleys will split Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place.

nkjv@Micah:1:5 @ All this is for the transgression of Jacob And for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem?

nkjv@Micah:1:6 @ "Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of ruins in the field, Places for planting a vineyard; I will pour down her stones into the valley, And I will uncover her foundations.

nkjv@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good, But disaster came down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Micah:1:13 @ O inhabitant of Lachish, Harness the chariot to the swift steeds (She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion), For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

nkjv@Micah:1:14 @ Therefore you shall give presents to Moresheth Gath; The houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

nkjv@Micah:1:15 @ I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.

nkjv@Zechariah:3:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?"

nkjv@Zechariah:3:3 @ Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel.

nkjv@Zechariah:3:4 @ Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes."

nkjv@Zechariah:3:5 @ And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the LORD stood by.

nkjv@Zechariah:3:6 @ Then the Angel of the LORD admonished Joshua, saying,

nkjv@Zechariah:3:7 @ "Thus says the LORD of hosts: "If you will walk in My ways, And if you will keep My command, Then you shall also judge My house, And likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk Among these who stand here.

nkjv@Zechariah:4:14 @ So he said, "These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth."

nkjv@Zechariah:5:1 @ Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.

nkjv@Zechariah:5:2 @ And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I answered, "I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits."

nkjv@Zechariah:5:3 @ Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: "Every thief shall be expelled,' according to this side of the scroll; and, "Every perjurer shall be expelled,' according to that side of it."

nkjv@Zechariah:5:5 @ Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, "Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth."

nkjv@Zechariah:5:6 @ So I asked, "What is it?" And he said, "It is a basket that is going forth." He also said, "This is their resemblance throughout the earth:

nkjv@Zechariah:5:7 @ Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket";

nkjv@Zechariah:5:8 @ then he said, "This is Wickedness!" And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.

nkjv@Zechariah:5:9 @ Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

nkjv@Zechariah:6:7 @ Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might walk to and fro throughout the earth. And He said, "Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth." So they walked to and fro throughout the earth.

nkjv@Zechariah:6:8 @ And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My Spirit in the north country."

nkjv@Zechariah:6:9 @ Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

nkjv@Zechariah:6:10 @ "Receive the gift from the captives--from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon--and go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
