rsv@Joshua:1:2 @ "Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the people of Israel.

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

rsv@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

rsv@Joshua:1:8 @ This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

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

rsv@Joshua:1:13 @ "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, `The LORD your God is providing you a place of rest, and will give you this land.'

rsv@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men said to her, "Our life for yours! If you do not tell this business of ours, then we will deal kindly and faithfully with you when the LORD gives us the land."

rsv@Joshua:2:17 @ The men said to her, "We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours which you have made us swear.

rsv@Joshua:2:18 @ Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down; and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.

rsv@Joshua:2:19 @ If any one goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be guiltless; but if a hand is laid upon any one who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head.

rsv@Joshua:2:20 @ But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath which you have made us swear."

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

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

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

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

rsv@Joshua:4:9 @ And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant had stood; and they are there to this day.

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

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

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

rsv@Joshua:5:9 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." And so the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.

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

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

rsv@Joshua:6:25 @ But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive; and she dwelt in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:6:26 @ Joshua laid an oath upon them at that time, saying, "Cursed before the LORD be the man that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."

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

rsv@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads.

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

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

rsv@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua, "Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I did:

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

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

rsv@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day; then the LORD turned from his burning anger. Therefore to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.

rsv@Joshua:8:1 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear or be dismayed; take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land;

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

rsv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

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

rsv@Joshua:8:20 @ So when the men of Ai looked back, behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they had no power to flee this way or that, for the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

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

rsv@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

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

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

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

rsv@Joshua:9:20 @ This we will do to them, and let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them."

rsv@Joshua:9:24 @ They answered Joshua, "Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that the LORD your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.

rsv@Joshua:9:27 @ But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, to continue to this day, in the place which he should choose.

rsv@Joshua:10:3 @ So Ado'ni-ze'dek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhi'a king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,

rsv@Joshua:10:5 @ Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered their forces, and went up with all their armies and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.

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

rsv@Joshua:10:21 @ all the people returned safe to Joshua in the camp at Makke'dah; not a man moved his tongue against any of the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought those five kings out to him from the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

rsv@Joshua:10:27 @ but at the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and they set great stones against the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.

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

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

rsv@Joshua:10:33 @ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he left none remaining.

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

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

rsv@Joshua:11:1 @ When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Ach'shaph,

rsv@Joshua:11:6 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel; you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."

rsv@Joshua:11:7 @ So Joshua came suddenly upon them with all his people of war, by the waters of Merom, and fell upon them.

rsv@Joshua:11:15 @ As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

rsv@Joshua:12:11 @ the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

rsv@Joshua:13:2 @ This is the land that yet remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Gesh'urites

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

rsv@Joshua:13:13 @ Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Gesh'urites or the Ma-ac'athites; but Geshur and Ma'acath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

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

rsv@Joshua:13:28 @ This is the inheritance of the Gadites according to their families, with their cities and villages.

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

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

rsv@Joshua:14:12 @ So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day; for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities: it may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the LORD said."

rsv@Joshua:14:14 @ So Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephun'neh the Ken'izzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:14:15 @ Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kir'iath-ar'ba; this Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

rsv@Joshua:15:4 @ passes along to Azmon, goes out by the Brook of Egypt, and comes to its end at the sea. This shall be your south boundary.

rsv@Joshua:15:12 @ And the west boundary was the Great Sea with its coast-line. This is the boundary round about the people of Judah according to their families.

rsv@Joshua:15:17 @ And Oth'ni-el the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

rsv@Joshua:15:20 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Judah according to their families.

rsv@Joshua:15:39 @ Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon,

rsv@Joshua:15:63 @ But the Jeb'usites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the people of Judah could not drive out; so the Jeb'usites dwell with the people of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

rsv@Joshua:16:10 @ However they did not drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: so the Canaanites have dwelt in the midst of E'phraim to this day but have become slaves to do forced labor.

rsv@Joshua:17:3 @ Now Zeloph'ehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manas'seh, had no sons, but only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

rsv@Joshua:17:6 @ because the daughters of Manas'seh received an inheritance along with his sons. The land of Gilead was allotted to the rest of the Manas'sites.

rsv@Joshua:18:5 @ They shall divide it into seven portions, Judah continuing in his territory on the south, and the house of Joseph in their territory on the north.

rsv@Joshua:18:10 @ and Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua apportioned the land to the people of Israel, to each his portion.

rsv@Joshua:18:14 @ Then the boundary goes in another direction, turning on the western side southward from the mountain that lies to the south, opposite Beth-hor'on, and it ends at Kir'iath-ba'al (that is, Kir'iath-je'arim), a city belonging to the tribe of Judah. This forms the western side.

rsv@Joshua:18:19 @ then the boundary passes on to the north of the shoulder of Beth-hoglah; and the boundary ends at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this is the southern border.

rsv@Joshua:18:20 @ The Jordan forms its boundary on the eastern side. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, according to its families, boundary by boundary round about.

rsv@Joshua:18:28 @ Zela, Ha-eleph, Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), Gib'e-ah and Kir'iath-je'arim--fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin according to its families.

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

rsv@Joshua:19:12 @ from Sarid it goes in the other direction eastward toward the sunrise to the boundary of Chis'loth-ta'bor; thence it goes to Dab'erath, then up to Japhi'a;

rsv@Joshua:19:16 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of Zeb'ulun, according to its families--these cities with their villages.

rsv@Joshua:19:23 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of Is'sachar, according to its families--the cities with their villages.

rsv@Joshua:19:31 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of Asher according to its families--these cities with their villages.

rsv@Joshua:19:39 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of Naph'tali according to its families--the cities with their villages.

rsv@Joshua:19:48 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, according to their families--these cities with their villages.

rsv@Joshua:20:4 @ He shall flee to one of these cities and shall stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and explain his case to the elders of that city; then they shall take him into the city, and give him a place, and he shall remain with them.

rsv@Joshua:20:5 @ And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not give up the slayer into his hand; because he killed his neighbor unwittingly, having had no enmity against him in times past.

rsv@Joshua:20:6 @ And he shall remain in that city until he has stood before the congregation for judgment, until the death of him who is high priest at the time: then the slayer may go again to his own town and his own home, to the town from which he fled.'"

rsv@Joshua:21:12 @ But the fields of the city and its villages had been given to Caleb the son of Jephun'neh as his possession.

rsv@Joshua:22:3 @ you have not forsaken your brethren these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the LORD your God.

rsv@Joshua:22:5 @ Take good care to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."

rsv@Joshua:22:16 @ "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, `What is this treachery which you have committed against the God of Israel in turning away this day from following the LORD, by building yourselves an altar this day in rebellion against the LORD?

rsv@Joshua:22:18 @ that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And if you rebel against the LORD today he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow.

rsv@Joshua:22:20 @ Did not Achan the son of Zerah break faith in the matter of the devoted things, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And he did not perish alone for his iniquity.'"

rsv@Joshua:22:27 @ but to be a witness between us and you, and between the generations after us, that we do perform the service of the LORD in his presence with our burnt offerings and sacrifices and peace offerings; lest your children say to our children in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'

rsv@Joshua:22:28 @ And we thought, If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we should say, `Behold the copy of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifice, but to be a witness between us and you.'

rsv@Joshua:22:29 @ Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD by building an altar for burnt offering, cereal offering, or sacrifice, other than the altar of the LORD our God that stands before his tabernacle!"

rsv@Joshua:22:31 @ And Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest said to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the Manas'sites, "Today we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD; now you have saved the people of Israel from the hand of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:23:8 @ but cleave to the LORD your God as you have done to this day.

rsv@Joshua:23:9 @ For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, no man has been able to withstand you to this day.

rsv@Joshua:23:13 @ know assuredly that the LORD your God will not continue to drive out these nations before you; but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a scourge on your sides, and thorns in your eyes, till you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

rsv@Joshua:23:15 @ But just as all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the LORD will bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you,

rsv@Joshua:24:3 @ Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. I gave him Isaac;

rsv@Joshua:24:4 @ and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau the hill country of Se'ir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

rsv@Joshua:24:10 @ but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you; so I delivered you out of his hand.

rsv@Joshua:24:15 @ And if you be unwilling to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:24:24 @ And the people said to Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve, and his voice we will obey."

rsv@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us; therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with your God."

rsv@Joshua:24:28 @ So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.

rsv@Joshua:24:30 @ And they buried him in his own inheritance at Tim'nath-se'rah, which is in the hill country of E'phraim, north of the mountain of Ga'ash.

rsv@Joshua:24:33 @ And Elea'zar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him at Gib'e-ah, the town of Phin'ehas his son, which had been given him in the hill country of E'phraim.

rsv@Judges:1:2 @ The LORD said, "Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand."

rsv@Judges:1:3 @ And Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted to me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into the territory allotted to you." So Simeon went with him.

rsv@Judges:1:6 @ Ado'ni-be'zek fled; but they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

rsv@Judges:1:13 @ And Oth'ni-el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

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

rsv@Judges:1:21 @ But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jeb'usites who dwelt in Jerusalem; so the Jeb'usites have dwelt with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

rsv@Judges:1:25 @ And he showed them the way into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and all his family go.

rsv@Judges:1:26 @ And the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city, and called its name Luz; that is its name to this day.

rsv@Judges:2:2 @ and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not obeyed my command. What is this you have done?

rsv@Judges:2:6 @ When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land.

rsv@Judges:2:9 @ And they buried him within the bounds of his inheritance in Tim'nath-he'res, in the hill country of E'phraim, north of the mountain of Ga'ash.

rsv@Judges:2:20 @ So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, "Because this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed my voice,

rsv@Judges:3:10 @ The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; he went out to war, and the LORD gave Cu'shan-rishatha'im king of Mesopota'mia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cu'shan-rishatha'im.

rsv@Judges:3:16 @ And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it on his right thigh under his clothes.

rsv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned back at the sculptured stones near Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence.

rsv@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came to him, as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat.

rsv@Judges:3:21 @ And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly;

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

rsv@Judges:4:2 @ And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the commander of his army was Sis'era, who dwelt in Haro'sheth-ha-goiim.

rsv@Judges:4:7 @ And I will draw out Sis'era, the general of Jabin's army, to meet you by the river Kishon with his chariots and his troops; and I will give him into your hand.'"

rsv@Judges:4:10 @ And Barak summoned Zeb'ulun and Naph'tali to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up at his heels; and Deb'orah went up with him.

rsv@Judges:4:11 @ Now Heber the Ken'ite had separated from the Ken'ites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Za-anan'nim, which is near Kedesh.

rsv@Judges:4:13 @ Sis'era called out all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the men who were with him, from Haro'sheth-ha-goiim to the river Kishon.

rsv@Judges:4:14 @ And Deb'orah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sis'era into your hand. Does not the LORD go out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

rsv@Judges:4:15 @ And the LORD routed Sis'era and all his chariots and all his army before Barak at the edge of the sword; and Sis'era alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.

rsv@Judges:4:21 @ But Ja'el the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, till it went down into the ground, as he was lying fast asleep from weariness. So he died.

rsv@Judges:4:22 @ And behold, as Barak pursued Sis'era, Ja'el went out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking." So he went in to her tent; and there lay Sis'era dead, with the tent peg in his temple.

rsv@Judges:5:11 @ To the sound of musicians at the watering places, there they repeat the triumphs of the LORD, the triumphs of his peasantry in Israel. "Then down to the gates marched the people of the LORD.

rsv@Judges:5:15 @ the princes of Is'sachar came with Deb'orah, and Is'sachar faithful to Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his heels. Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

rsv@Judges:5:17 @ Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why did he abide with the ships? Asher sat still at the coast of the sea, settling down by his landings.

rsv@Ruth:4:8 @ So when the next of kin said to Bo'az, "Buy it for yourself," he drew off his sandal.

rsv@Ruth:4:9 @ Then Bo'az said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought from the hand of Na'omi all that belonged to Elim'elech and all that belonged to Chil'ion and to Mahlon.

rsv@Ruth:4:10 @ Also Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have bought to be my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from the gate of his native place; you are witnesses this day."

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

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

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

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

rsv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; his name was Do'eg the E'domite, the chief of Saul's herdsmen.

rsv@1Samuel:21:10 @ And David rose and fled that day from Saul, and went to A'chish the king of Gath.

rsv@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of A'chish said to him, "Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, `Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands'?"

rsv@1Samuel:21:15 @ Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"

rsv@1Samuel:22:1 @ David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:6 @ Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gib'e-ah, under the tamarisk tree on the height, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.

rsv@1Samuel:22:7 @ And Saul said to his servants who stood about him, "Hear now, you Benjaminites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds,

rsv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? No! Let not the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father; for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little."

rsv@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Kei'lah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter among them. So David delivered the inhabitants of Kei'lah.

rsv@2Samuel:18:17 @ And they took Ab'salom, and threw him into a great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones; and all Israel fled every one to his own home.

rsv@2Samuel:18:18 @ Now Ab'salom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance"; he called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Ab'salom's monument to this day.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:17 @ Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chalde'ans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged; he gave them all into his hand.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:18 @ And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

rsv@Ezra:8:20 @ besides two hundred and twenty of the temple servants, whom David and his officials had set apart to attend the Levites. These were all mentioned by name.

rsv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way; since we had told the king, "The hand of our God is for good upon all that seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all that forsake him."

rsv@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.

rsv@Ezra:8:25 @ And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his lords and all Israel there present had offered;

rsv@Ezra:8:35 @ At that time those who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve he-goats; all this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Ar-ta-xerx'es, when wine was before him, I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ And the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, seeing you are not sick? This is nothing else but sadness of the heart." Then I was very much afraid.

rsv@Nehemiah:2:10 @ But when Sanbal'lat the Hor'onite and Tobi'ah the servant, the Ammonite, heard this, it displeased them greatly that some one had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin on account of such women? Among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless foreign women made even him to sin.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and act treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?"

rsv@Nehemiah:13:30 @ Thus I cleansed them from everything foreign, and I established the duties of the priests and Levites, each in his work;

rsv@Esther:1:2 @ in those days when King Ahasu-e'rus sat on his royal throne in Susa the capital,

rsv@Esther:1:3 @ in the third year of his reign he gave a banquet for all his princes and servants, the army chiefs of Persia and Media and the nobles and governors of the provinces being before him,

rsv@Esther:1:4 @ while he showed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor and pomp of his majesty for many days, a hundred and eighty days.

rsv@Esther:1:8 @ And drinking was according to the law, no one was compelled; for the king had given orders to all the officials of his palace to do as every man desired.

rsv@Esther:1:12 @ But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command conveyed by the eunuchs. At this the king was enraged, and his anger burned within him.

rsv@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men who knew the times-- for this was the king's procedure toward all who were versed in law and judgment,

rsv@Esther:1:14 @ the men next to him being Carshe'na, Shethar, Adma'tha, Tarshish, Meres, Marse'na, and Memu'can, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom--:

rsv@Esther:1:17 @ For this deed of the queen will be made known to all women, causing them to look with contempt upon their husbands, since they will say, `King Ahasu-e'rus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, and she did not come.'

rsv@Esther:1:18 @ This very day the ladies of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's behavior will be telling it to all the king's princes, and there will be contempt and wrath in plenty.

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

rsv@Esther:1:21 @ This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did as Memu'can proposed;

rsv@Esther:1:22 @ he sent letters to all the royal provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, that every man be lord in his own house and speak according to the language of his people.

rsv@Esther:2:3 @ And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom to gather all the beautiful young virgins to the harem in Susa the capital, under custody of Hegai the king's eunuch who is in charge of the women; let their ointments be given them.

rsv@Esther:2:4 @ And let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." This pleased the king, and he did so.

rsv@Esther:2:7 @ He had brought up Hadas'sah, that is Esther, the daughter of his uncle, for she had neither father nor mother; the maiden was beautiful and lovely, and when her father and her mother died, Mor'decai adopted her as his own daughter.

rsv@Esther:2:8 @ So when the king's order and his edict were proclaimed, and when many maidens were gathered in Susa the capital in custody of Hegai, Esther also was taken into the king's palace and put in custody of Hegai who had charge of the women.

rsv@Esther:2:9 @ And the maiden pleased him and won his favor; and he quickly provided her with her ointments and her portion of food, and with seven chosen maids from the king's palace, and advanced her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

rsv@Esther:2:12 @ Now when the turn came for each maiden to go in to King Ahasu-e'rus, after being twelve months under the regulations for the women, since this was the regular period of their beautifying, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and ointments for women--

rsv@Esther:2:13 @ when the maiden went in to the king in this way she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the harem to the king's palace.

rsv@Esther:2:15 @ When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Ab'ihail the uncle of Mor'decai, who had adopted her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised. Now Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

rsv@Esther:2:16 @ And when Esther was taken to King Ahasu-e'rus into his royal palace in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign,

rsv@Esther:2:17 @ the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

rsv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king gave a great banquet to all his princes and servants; it was Esther's banquet. He also granted a remission of taxes to the provinces, and gave gifts with royal liberality.

rsv@Esther:2:22 @ And this came to the knowledge of Mor'decai, and he told it to Queen Esther, and Esther told the king in the name of Mor'decai.

rsv@Esther:3:1 @ After these things King Ahasu-e'rus promoted Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

rsv@Esther:3:10 @ So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of the Jews.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and his wife Zeresh.

rsv@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and the servants of the king.

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

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

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

rsv@Esther:6:12 @ Then Mor'decai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.

rsv@Esther:6:13 @ And Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, "If Mor'decai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him."

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

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

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

rsv@Esther:8:2 @ and the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mor'decai. And Esther set Mor'decai over the house of Haman.

rsv@Esther:8:3 @ Then Esther spoke again to the king; she fell at his feet and besought him with tears to avert the evil design of Haman the Ag'agite and the plot which he had devised against the Jews.

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@Esther:9:25 @ but when Esther came before the king, he gave orders in writing that his wicked plot which he had devised against the Jews should come upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

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

rsv@Esther:9:29 @ Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Ab'ihail, and Mor'decai the Jew gave full written authority, confirming this second letter about Purim.

rsv@Esther:10:2 @ And all the acts of his power and might, and the full account of the high honor of Mor'decai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

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