geneva@2Kings:15:29 @ In the days of Pekah king of Israel (note:)For God stirred up Pul and Tiglathpileser against Israel for their sins, (1Ch_5:26).(:note) came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

geneva@2Chronicles:36:22 @ Now in the (note:)In the first year that he reigned over the Chaldeans, (Ezr_1:1).(:note) first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD [spoken] by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,

geneva@Ezra:1:1 @ Now in the (note:)After he and Darius had won Babylon.(:note) first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the Who promised deliverance to them after 70 years were past, (Jer_25:12). mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the That is, moved him and gave him heart. spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying, The Argument - As the Lord is always merciful to his Church, and does not punish them, but so that they should see their own miseries, and be exercised under the cross, that they might contemn the world, and aspire to the heavens: so after he had visited the Jews, and kept them in bondage 70 years in a strange country among infidels and idolaters, he remembered his tender mercies and their infirmities, and therefore for his own sake raised up a deliverer, and moved both the heart of the chief ruler to pity them, and also by him punished those who had kept them in slavery. Nonetheless, lest they should grow into a contempt of God's great benefits, he keeps them still in exercise, and raises domestic enemies, who try as much as they can to hinder their worthy enterprises: yet by the exhortation of the prophet they went forward little by little till their work was finished. The author of this book was Ezra, who was a priest and scribe of the Law, as in (Ezr_7:6). He returned to Jerusalem the sixth year of Darius, who succeeded Cyrus, that is, about fifty years after the first return under Zerubbabel, when the temple was built. He brought with him a great company and much treasure, with letters to the king's officers for all things needed for the temple: and at his coming he fixed that which was amiss, and set things in order.

geneva@Ezra:1:6 @ And all (note:)The Babylonians and Chaldeans gave them these presents: thus rather than have the children of God be in need, he would stir the heart of the infidels to help them.(:note) they that [were] about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all [that] was willingly offered.

geneva@Ezra:6:14 @ And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of (note:)Whom God stirs up to assure them that he would give their work good success.(:note) Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished [it], according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

geneva@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and (note:)These were three chief governors under the king of Persia beyond the Euphrates.(:note) Geshem the Arabian, heard [it], they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What [is] this thing that ye do? will ye Thus the wicked when they will burden the children of God, always lay treason to their charge both because it makes them most odious to the world, and also stirs the hatred of princes against them. rebel against the king?

geneva@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of (note:)Also called Darius, who was now the favourite monarch and had the government of the Medes, Persians and Chaldeans. Some think he was Darius Hystaspis also called Artaxerxes.(:note) Ahasuerus, (this [is] Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, [over] an (Dan_6:1) makes mention of only 120 leaving out the number that are imperfect as the scripture uses in various places. hundred and seven and twenty provinces:) The Argument - Because of the variety of names, by which they used to call their kings, and the number of years in which the Hebrews and the Greeks vary, various authors write concerning that Ahasuerus but is seems in (Dan_6:1, Dan_9:1) that he was Darius king of the Medes and son of Astyages also called Ahasuerus which was a name of honour and signified great and chief as chief head. In this is declared the great mercies of God toward his church: who never fails them in their greatest dangers, but when all hope of worldly help fades, he stirs up some, by whom he sends comfort and deliverance. In this also is described the ambition, pride and cruelty of the wicked when they come to honour and their sudden fall when they are at their highest and how God preserves and prefers them who are zealous of his glory and have a care and love for their brethren.

geneva@Job:13:27 @ Thou puttest my feet also in the (note:)You make me your prisoner, and so press me that I cannot stir hand or foot.(:note) stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

geneva@Job:17:8 @ Upright [men] shall be astonied at (note:)That is, when they see the godly punished: but in the end they will come to understanding and know what will be the reward of the hypocrite.(:note) this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

geneva@Job:41:10 @ None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to (note:)If no one dare stand against a whale, which is but a creature, who is able to compare with God the creator?(:note) stand before me?

geneva@Psalms:39:2 @ I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good; (note:)Though when the wicked ruled he thought to have kept silence, yet his zeal caused him to change his mind.(:note) and my sorrow was stirred.

geneva@Psalms:41:13 @ Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. (note:)By this repetition he stirs up the faithful to praise God.(:note) Amen, and Amen.

geneva@Psalms:78:38 @ But he, [being] full of compassion, (note:)Because he would always have some remnant of a Church to praise his Name in earth, he did not permit their sins to overcome his mercy.(:note) forgave [their] iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

geneva@Psalms:80:2 @ Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.

geneva@Psalms:103:20 @ Bless the LORD, ye (note:)In that we, who naturally are slow to praise God, exhort the angels, who willingly do it, we stir up ourselves to consider our duty and wake from our sluggishness.(:note) his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

geneva@Psalms:113:1 @ Praise ye the LORD. (note:)By this often repetition he stirs up our cold dullness to praise God, seeing his works are so wonderful, and that we are created for the same cause.(:note) Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

geneva@Psalms:116:1 @ I (note:)He grants that no pleasure is so great as to feel God's help in our need, neither that anything more stirs up our love toward him.(:note) love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.

geneva@Psalms:119:106 @ I have (note:)So all the faithful ought to bind themselves to God by a solemn oath and promises to stir up their zeal to embrace God's word.(:note) sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

geneva@Psalms:146:1 @ Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my (note:)He stirs up himself and all his affections to praise God.(:note) soul.

geneva@Isaiah:36:11 @ Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to Rabshakeh, (note:)They were afraid, lest by his words, he should have stirred up the people against the king, and also pretended to grow to some appointment with him.(:note) Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand [it]: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.

geneva@Isaiah:42:13 @ The LORD shall go forth as a (note:)He shows the zeal of the Lord, and his power in the conservation of his Church.(:note) mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

geneva@Isaiah:64:7 @ And there is none that calleth vpon thy Name, neither that stirreth vp himselfe to take holde of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from vs, and hast consumed vs because of our iniquities.

geneva@Daniel:6:10 @ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his (note:)Because he would not by his silence show that he consented to this wicked decree, he set open his windows toward Jerusalem when he prayed: both to stir up himself with the remembrance of God's promises to his people, when they should pray toward that temple, and also that others might see that he would neither consent in heart nor deed for these few days to anything that was contrary to God's glory.(:note) windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

geneva@Daniel:11:2 @ And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet (note:)Of which Cambyses that now reigned was the first, the second Smerdes, the third Darius the son of Hystaspis, and the fourth Xerxes, who all were enemies to the people of God, and stood against them.(:note) three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than [they] all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up For he raised up all the east countries to fight against the Grecians, and even though he had in his army 900,000 men, yet in four battles he was defeated, and fled away with shame. all against the realm of Grecia.

geneva@Daniel:11:10 @ But his (note:)Meaning Seleucus and Antiochus the great, the sons of Calinicus, will make war against Ptolemais Philopater, the son of Philadelphus.(:note) sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and [one] For his older brother Seleucus died, or was slain while the armies were preparing for war. shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he That is, Philopater, when he will see Antiochus take great dominions from him in Syria, and also ready to invade Egypt. return, and be stirred up, [even] to his fortress.

geneva@Daniel:11:25 @ And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not (note:)He will be overcome with treason.(:note) stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

geneva@Hosea:1:4 @ And the LORD said unto him, Call his name (note:)Meaning that they would no longer be called Israelites, which name they boasted because Israel did prevail with God: but that they were as bastards, and therefore should be called Jezreelites, that is, scattered people, alluding to Jezreel, which was the chief city of the ten tribes under Ahab, where Jehu shed so much blood; (1Ki_18:45).(:note) Jezreel; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of I will be avenged upon Jehu for the blood that he shed in Jezreel: for even though God stirred him up to execute his judgments, yet he did them for his own ambition, and not for the glory of God as the intended goal: for he built up that idolatry which he had destroyed. Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

geneva@Joel:1:6 @ For (note:)This was another plague with which God had punished them when he stirred up the Assyrians against them.(:note) a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

geneva@Joel:2:11 @ And the LORD shall (note:)The Lord will stir up the Assyrians to execute his judgments.(:note) utter his voice before his army: for his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

geneva@Joel:2:14 @ Who knoweth [if] he will (note:)He speaks this to stir up their slothfulness, and not that he doubted of God's mercies, if they did repent. For the way in which God repents, {{See Jer_18:8}}(:note) return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; [even] a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

geneva@Amos:1:1 @ The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of (note:)Which was a town five miles from Jerusalem in Judea, but he prophesied in Israel.(:note) Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of In his days the kingdom of Israel flourished the most. Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the Which as Josephus writes, was when Uzziah would have usurped the priest's office, and therefore was smitten with leprosy. earthquake. The Argument - Among many other Prophets that God raised up to admonish the Israelites of his plagues for their wickedness and idolatry, he stirred up Amos, who was a herdman or shepherd of a poor town, and gave him both knowledge and constancy to reprove all estates and degrees, and to make known God's horrible judgments against them, unless they repented in time. And he showed them, that if God did not spare the other nations around them, who had lived as it were in ignorance of God compared to them, but for their sins punished them, then they could look for nothing, but a horrible destruction, unless they turned to the Lord in true repentance. And finally, he comforts the godly with hope of the coming of the Messiah, by whom they would have perfect deliverance and salvation.

geneva@Obadiah:1:1 @ The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; (note:)God has certainly revealed to his prophets, that he will raise up the heathen to destroy the Edomites, concerning which the rumour is now proclaimed; (Jer_49:14).(:note) We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and Thus the heathen encourage themselves to rise against Edom. let us rise up against her in battle. The Argument - The Idumeans, who came from Esau, were mortal enemies always to the Israelites, who came from Jacob, and therefore did not only vex them continually with various types of cruelty, but also stirred up others to fight against them. Therefore when they were now in their greatest prosperity, and did most triumph against Israel, which was in great affliction and misery, God raised up his Prophet to comfort the Israelites. For God had now determined to destroy their adversaries, who did so severely vex them, and to send them those who would deliver them, and set up the kingdom of the Messiah which he had promised.

geneva@Micah:5:5 @ And this [man] (note:)This Messiah will be a sufficient safeguard for us, and though the enemy invades us for a time, yet will God stir up many who will be able to deliver us.(:note) shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

geneva@Nahum:1:1 @ The (note:){{See Isa_13:1}}(:note) burden of Nineveh. The vision or revelation, which God commanded Nahum to write concerning the Ninevites. The book of the vision of Nahum the That is, born in a poor village in the tribe of Simeon. Elkoshite. The Argument - As those of Nineveh showed themselves prompt and ready to receive the word of God at Jonah's preaching, and so turned to the Lord by repentance, so after a certain time they gave themselves to worldly means to increase their dominion, rather than seeking to continue in that fear of God, and path in which they had begun. They cast off the care of religion, and so returned to their vomit and provoked God's just judgment against them, in afflicting his people. Therefore their city Nineveh was destroyed, and Meroch-baladan, king of Babel (or as some think, Nebuchadnezzar) enjoyed the empire of the Assyrians. But because God has a continual care for his Church, he stirs up his Prophet to comfort the godly, showing that the destruction of their enemies would be for their consolation: and as it seems, he prophesies around the time of Hezekiah, and not in the time of Manasseh his son, as the Jews write.

geneva@Haggai:1:1 @ In the second year of (note:)Who was the son of Histaspis and the third king of the Persians, as some think.(:note) Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Because the building of the temple began to cease, by reason that the people were discouraged by their enemies: and if these two notable men had need to be stirred up and admonished of their duties, what will we think of other governors, whose doings are either against God, or very cold in his cause? Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying, The Argument - When the time of the seventy years captivity prophesied by Jeremiah was expired, God raised up Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, to comfort the Jews, and to exhort them to the building of the temple, which was a figure of the spiritual Temple and Church of God, whose perfection and excellency depended on Christ. And because all were given to their own pleasures and benefits, he declares that that plague of famine, which God then sent among them, was a just reward for their ingratitude, in that they condemned God's honour, who had delivered them. Yet he comforts them, if they will return to the Lord, with the promise of great felicity, since the Lord will finish the work that he has begun, and send Christ whom he had promised, and by whom they would attain to perfect joy and glory.

geneva@Haggai:1:14 @ And the LORD stirred up (note:)Which declares that men are unable and dull to serve the Lord, neither can they obey his word or his messengers, before God reforms their hearts, and gives them new spirits; (Joh_6:44).(:note) the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
