Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
rsv@Joshua:5:1 @ When all the kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites that were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them, because of the people of Israel.
rsv@Joshua: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:9:10 @ and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ash'taroth.
rsv@Joshua: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:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, "Do not relax your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country are gathered against us."
rsv@Joshua:10:16 @ These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makke'dah.
rsv@Joshua:10:17 @ And it was told Joshua, "The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makke'dah."
rsv@Joshua:10:22 @ Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings out to me from the cave."
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:10:24 @ And when they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings." Then they came near, and put their feet on their necks.
rsv@Joshua:10:40 @ So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
rsv@Joshua:10:42 @ And Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
rsv@Joshua:11:2 @ and to the kings who were in the northern hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chin'neroth, and in the lowland, and in Naphoth-dor on the west,
rsv@Joshua:11:5 @ And all these kings joined their forces, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
rsv@Joshua:11:12 @ And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.
rsv@Joshua:11:17 @ from Mount Halak, that rises toward Se'ir, as far as Ba'al-gad in the valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. And he took all their kings, and smote them, and put them to death.
rsv@Joshua:11:18 @ Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
rsv@Joshua:12:1 @ Now these are the kings of the land, whom the people of Israel defeated, and took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, with all the Arabah eastward:
rsv@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the people of Israel defeated on the west side of the Jordan, from Ba'al-gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, that rises toward Se'ir (and Joshua gave their land to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their allotments,
rsv@Joshua:12:24 @ the king of Tirzah, one: in all, thirty-one kings.
rsv@Joshua:24:12 @ And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out before you, the two kings of the Amorites; it was not by your sword or by your bow.
rsv@Judges:1:7 @ And Ado'ni-be'zek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their great toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has requited me." And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
rsv@Judges:5:3 @ "Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the LORD I will sing, I will make melody to the LORD, the God of Israel.
rsv@Judges:5:19 @ "The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, at Ta'anach, by the waters of Megid'do; they got no spoils of silver.
rsv@Judges:8:5 @ So he said to the men of Succoth, "Pray, give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmun'na, the kings of Mid'ian."
rsv@Judges:8:12 @ And Zebah and Zalmun'na fled; and he pursued them and took the two kings of Mid'ian, Zebah and Zalmun'na, and he threw all the army into a panic.
rsv@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Mid'ian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels.
rsv@1Samuel:10:25 @ Then Samuel told the people the rights and duties of the kingship; and he wrote them in a book and laid it up before the LORD. Then Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his home.
rsv@1Samuel:14:47 @ When Saul had taken the kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the Ammonites, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines; wherever he turned he put them to the worse.
rsv@1Samuel:18:14 @ And David had success in all his undertakings; for the LORD was with him.
rsv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So that day A'chish gave him Ziklag; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
rsv@2Samuel:10:19 @ And when all the kings who were servants of Hadade'zer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel, and became subject to them. So the Syrians feared to help the Ammonites any more.
rsv@2Samuel:11:1 @ In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, David sent Jo'ab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they ravaged the Ammonites, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
rsv@1Kings:1:1 @ Now King David was old and advanced in years; and although they covered him with clothes, he could not get warm.
rsv@1Kings:1:2 @ Therefore his servants said to him, "Let a young maiden be sought for my lord the king, and let her wait upon the king, and be his nurse; let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may be warm."
rsv@1Kings:1:3 @ So they sought for a beautiful maiden throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Ab'ishag the Shu'nammite, and brought her to the king.
rsv@1Kings:1:4 @ The maiden was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and ministered to him; but the king knew her not.
rsv@1Kings:1:5 @ Now Adoni'jah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king"; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
rsv@1Kings:1:6 @ His father had never at any time displeased him by asking, "Why have you done thus and so?" He was also a very handsome man; and he was born next after Ab'salom.
rsv@1Kings:1:7 @ He conferred with Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah and with Abi'athar the priest; and they followed Adoni'jah and helped him.
rsv@1Kings:1:8 @ But Zadok the priest, and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shim'e-i, and Re'i, and David's mighty men were not with Adoni'jah.
rsv@1Kings:1:9 @ Adoni'jah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fatlings by the Serpent's Stone, which is beside En-ro'gel, and he invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the royal officials of Judah,
rsv@1Kings:1:10 @ but he did not invite Nathan the prophet or Benai'ah or the mighty men or Solomon his brother.
rsv@1Kings:1:11 @ Then Nathan said to Bathshe'ba the mother of Solomon, "Have you not heard that Adoni'jah the son of Haggith has become king and David our lord does not know it?
rsv@1Kings:1:12 @ Now therefore come, let me give you counsel, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
rsv@1Kings:1:13 @ Go in at once to King David, and say to him, `Did you not, my lord the king, swear to your maidservant, saying, "Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne"? Why then is Adoni'jah king?'
rsv@1Kings:1:14 @ Then while you are still speaking with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."
rsv@1Kings:1:15 @ So Bathshe'ba went to the king into his chamber (now the king was very old, and Ab'ishag the Shu'nammite was ministering to the king).
rsv@1Kings:1:16 @ Bathshe'ba bowed and did obeisance to the king, and the king said, "What do you desire?"
rsv@1Kings:1:17 @ She said to him, "My lord, you swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God, saying, `Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.'
rsv@1Kings:1:18 @ And now, behold, Adoni'jah is king, although you, my lord the king, do not know it.
rsv@1Kings:1:19 @ He has sacrificed oxen, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abi'athar the priest, and Jo'ab the commander of the army; but Solomon your servant he has not invited.
rsv@1Kings:1:20 @ And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
rsv@1Kings:1:21 @ Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted offenders."
rsv@1Kings:1:22 @ While she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
rsv@1Kings:1:23 @ And they told the king, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed before the king, with his face to the ground.
rsv@1Kings:1:24 @ And Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, `Adoni'jah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne'?
rsv@1Kings:1:25 @ For he has gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, Jo'ab the commander of the army, and Abi'athar the priest; and behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and saying, `Long live King Adoni'jah!'
rsv@1Kings:1:26 @ But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.
rsv@1Kings:1:27 @ Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king and you have not told your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
rsv@1Kings:1:28 @ Then King David answered, "Call Bathshe'ba to me." So she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
rsv@1Kings:1:29 @ And the king swore, saying, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of every adversity,
rsv@1Kings:1:30 @ as I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, `Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead'; even so will I do this day."
rsv@1Kings:1:31 @ Then Bathshe'ba bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, "May my lord King David live for ever!"
rsv@1Kings:1:32 @ King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada." So they came before the king.
rsv@1Kings:1:33 @ And the king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon;
rsv@1Kings:1:34 @ and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet there anoint him king over Israel; then blow the trumpet, and say, `Long live King Solomon!'
rsv@1Kings:1:35 @ You shall then come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah."
rsv@1Kings:1:36 @ And Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada answered the king, "Amen! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say so.
rsv@1Kings:1:37 @ As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David."
rsv@1Kings:1:38 @ So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, and the Cher'ethites and the Pel'ethites, went down and caused Solomon to ride on King David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
rsv@1Kings:1:39 @ There Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent, and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, "Long live King Solomon!"
rsv@1Kings:1:40 @ And all the people went up after him, playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth was split by their noise.
rsv@1Kings:1:41 @ Adoni'jah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished feasting. And when Jo'ab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "What does this uproar in the city mean?"
rsv@1Kings:1:42 @ While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abi'athar the priest came; and Adoni'jah said, "Come in, for you are a worthy man and bring good news."
rsv@1Kings:1:43 @ Jonathan answered Adoni'jah, "No, for our lord King David has made Solomon king;
rsv@1Kings:1:44 @ and the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, and the Cher'ethites and the Pel'ethites; and they have caused him to ride on the king's mule;
rsv@1Kings:1:45 @ and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard.
rsv@1Kings:1:46 @ Solomon sits upon the royal throne.
rsv@1Kings:1:47 @ Moreover the king's servants came to congratulate our lord King David, saying, `Your God make the name of Solomon more famous than yours, and make his throne greater than your throne.' And the king bowed himself upon the bed.
rsv@1Kings:1:48 @ And the king also said, `Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has granted one of my offspring to sit on my throne this day, my own eyes seeing it.'"
rsv@1Kings:1:49 @ Then all the guests of Adoni'jah trembled, and rose, and each went his own way.
rsv@1Kings:1:50 @ And Adoni'jah feared Solomon; and he arose, and went, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
rsv@1Kings:1:51 @ And it was told Solomon, "Behold, Adoni'jah fears King Solomon; for, lo, he has laid hold of the horns of the altar, saying, `Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not slay his servant with the sword.'"
rsv@1Kings:1:52 @ And Solomon said, "If he prove to be a worthy man, not one of his hairs shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die."
rsv@1Kings:1:53 @ So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
rsv@1Kings:2:1 @ When David's time to die drew near, he charged Solomon his son, saying,
rsv@1Kings:2:2 @ "I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man,
rsv@1Kings:2:3 @ and keep the charge of the LORD your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;
rsv@1Kings:2:4 @ that the LORD may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, `If your sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in faithfulness with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.'
rsv@1Kings:2:5 @ "Moreover you know also what Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah did to me, how he dealt with the two commanders of the armies of Israel, Abner the son of Ner, and Ama'sa the son of Jether, whom he murdered, avenging in time of peace blood which had been shed in war, and putting innocent blood upon the girdle about my loins, and upon the sandals on my feet.
rsv@1Kings:2:6 @ Act therefore according to your wisdom, but do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace.
rsv@1Kings:2:7 @ But deal loyally with the sons of Barzil'lai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for with such loyalty they met me when I fled from Ab'salom your brother.
rsv@1Kings:2:8 @ And there is also with you Shim'e-i the son of Gera, the Benjaminite from Bahu'rim, who cursed me with a grievous curse on the day when I went to Mahana'im; but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD, saying, `I will not put you to death with the sword.'
rsv@1Kings:2:9 @ Now therefore hold him not guiltless, for you are a wise man; you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down with blood to Sheol."
rsv@1Kings:2:10 @ Then David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
rsv@1Kings:2:11 @ And the time that David reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
rsv@1Kings:2:12 @ So Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was firmly established.
rsv@1Kings:2:13 @ Then Adoni'jah the son of Haggith came to Bathshe'ba the mother of Solomon. And she said, "Do you come peaceably?" He said, "Peaceably."
rsv@1Kings:2:14 @ Then he said, "I have something to say to you." She said, "Say on."
rsv@1Kings:2:15 @ He said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel fully expected me to reign; however the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD.
rsv@1Kings:2:16 @ And now I have one request to make of you; do not refuse me." She said to him, "Say on."
rsv@1Kings:2:17 @ And he said, "Pray ask King Solomon--he will not refuse you--to give me Ab'ishag the Shu'nammite as my wife."
rsv@1Kings:2:18 @ Bathshe'ba said, "Very well; I will speak for you to the king."
rsv@1Kings:2:19 @ So Bathshe'ba went to King Solomon, to speak to him on behalf of Adoni'jah. And the king rose to meet her, and bowed down to her; then he sat on his throne, and had a seat brought for the king's mother; and she sat on his right.
rsv@1Kings:2:20 @ Then she said, "I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me." And the king said to her, "Make your request, my mother; for I will not refuse you."
rsv@1Kings:2:21 @ She said, "Let Ab'ishag the Shu'nammite be given to Adoni'jah your brother as his wife."
rsv@1Kings:2:22 @ King Solomon answered his mother, "And why do you ask Ab'ishag the Shu'nammite for Adoni'jah? Ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother, and on his side are Abi'athar the priest and Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah."
rsv@1Kings:2:23 @ Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adoni'jah his life!
rsv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore as the LORD lives, who has established me, and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adoni'jah shall be put to death this day."
rsv@1Kings:2:25 @ So King Solomon sent Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada; and he struck him down, and he died.
rsv@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abi'athar the priest the king said, "Go to An'athoth, to your estate; for you deserve death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because you shared in all the affliction of my father."
rsv@1Kings:2:27 @ So Solomon expelled Abi'athar from being priest to the LORD, thus fulfilling the word of the LORD which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
rsv@1Kings:2:28 @ When the news came to Jo'ab --for Jo'ab had supported Adoni'jah although he had not supported Ab'salom-- Jo'ab fled to the tent of the LORD and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
rsv@1Kings:2:29 @ And when it was told King Solomon, "Jo'ab has fled to the tent of the LORD, and behold, he is beside the altar," Solomon sent Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, saying, "Go, strike him down."
rsv@1Kings:2:30 @ So Benai'ah came to the tent of the LORD, and said to him, "The king commands, `Come forth.'" But he said, "No, I will die here." Then Benai'ah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus said Jo'ab, and thus he answered me."
rsv@1Kings:2:31 @ The king replied to him, "Do as he has said, strike him down and bury him; and thus take away from me and from my father's house the guilt for the blood which Jo'ab shed without cause.
rsv@1Kings:2:32 @ The LORD will bring back his bloody deeds upon his own head, because, without the knowledge of my father David, he attacked and slew with the sword two men more righteous and better than himself, Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Ama'sa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.
rsv@1Kings:2:33 @ So shall their blood come back upon the head of Jo'ab and upon the head of his descendants for ever; but to David, and to his descendants, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace from the LORD for evermore."
rsv@1Kings:2:34 @ Then Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada went up, and struck him down and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
rsv@1Kings:2:35 @ The king put Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada over the army in place of Jo'ab, and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abi'athar.
rsv@1Kings:2:36 @ Then the king sent and summoned Shim'e-i, and said to him, "Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and do not go forth from there to any place whatever.
rsv@1Kings:2:37 @ For on the day you go forth, and cross the brook Kidron, know for certain that you shall die; your blood shall be upon your own head."
rsv@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shim'e-i said to the king, "What you say is good; as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do." So Shim'e-i dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
rsv@1Kings:2:39 @ But it happened at the end of three years that two of Shim'e-i's slaves ran away to Achish, son of Ma'acah, king of Gath. And when it was told Shim'e-i, "Behold, your slaves are in Gath,"
rsv@1Kings:2:40 @ Shim'e-i arose and saddled an ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his slaves; Shim'e-i went and brought his slaves from Gath.
rsv@1Kings:2:41 @ And when Solomon was told that Shim'e-i had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and returned,
rsv@1Kings:2:42 @ the king sent and summoned Shim'e-i, and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD, and solemnly admonish you, saying, `Know for certain that on the day you go forth and go to any place whatever, you shall die'? And you said to me, `What you say is good; I obey.'
rsv@1Kings:2:43 @ Why then have you not kept your oath to the LORD and the commandment with which I charged you?"
rsv@1Kings:2:44 @ The king also said to Shim'e-i, "You know in your own heart all the evil that you did to David my father; so the LORD will bring back your evil upon your own head.
rsv@1Kings:2:45 @ But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever."
rsv@1Kings:2:46 @ Then the king commanded Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada; and he went out and struck him down, and he died. So the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
rsv@1Kings:3:1 @ Solomon made a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt; he took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had finished building his own house and the house of the LORD and the wall around Jerusalem.
rsv@1Kings:3:2 @ The people were sacrificing at the high places, however, because no house had yet been built for the name of the LORD.
rsv@1Kings:3:3 @ Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burnt incense at the high places.
rsv@1Kings:3:4 @ And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings upon that altar.
rsv@1Kings:3:5 @ At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask what I shall give you."
rsv@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said, "Thou hast shown great and steadfast love to thy servant David my father, because he walked before thee in faithfulness, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart toward thee; and thou hast kept for him this great and steadfast love, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne this day.
rsv@1Kings:3:7 @ And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.
rsv@1Kings:3:8 @ And thy servant is in the midst of thy people whom thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered or counted for multitude.
rsv@1Kings:3:9 @ Give thy servant therefore an understanding mind to govern thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to govern this thy great people?"
rsv@1Kings:3:10 @ It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.
rsv@1Kings:3:11 @ And God said to him, "Because you have asked this, and have not asked for yourself long life or riches or the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern what is right,
rsv@1Kings:3:12 @ behold, I now do according to your word. Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.
rsv@1Kings:3:13 @ I give you also what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that no other king shall compare with you, all your days.
rsv@1Kings:3:14 @ And if you will walk in my ways, keeping my statutes and my commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."
rsv@1Kings:3:15 @ And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. Then he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
rsv@1Kings:3:16 @ Then two harlots came to the king, and stood before him.
rsv@1Kings:3:17 @ The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.
rsv@1Kings:3:18 @ Then on the third day after I was delivered, this woman also gave birth; and we were alone; there was no one else with us in the house, only we two were in the house.
rsv@1Kings:3:19 @ And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on it.
rsv@1Kings:3:20 @ And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your maidservant slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
rsv@1Kings:3:21 @ When I rose in the morning to nurse my child, behold, it was dead; but when I looked at it closely in the morning, behold, it was not the child that I had borne."
rsv@1Kings:3:22 @ But the other woman said, "No, the living child is mine, and the dead child is yours." The first said, "No, the dead child is yours, and the living child is mine." Thus they spoke before the king.
rsv@1Kings:3:23 @ Then the king said, "The one says, `This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead'; and the other says, `No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.'"
rsv@1Kings:3:24 @ And the king said, "Bring me a sword." So a sword was brought before the king.
rsv@1Kings:3:25 @ And the king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other."
rsv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means slay it." But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it."
rsv@1Kings:3:27 @ Then the king answered and said, "Give the living child to the first woman, and by no means slay it; she is its mother."
rsv@1Kings:3:28 @ And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him, to render justice.
rsv@1Kings:4:1 @ King Solomon was king over all Israel,
rsv@1Kings:4:2 @ and these were his high officials: Azari'ah the son of Zadok was the priest;
rsv@1Kings:4:3 @ Elihor'eph and Ahi'jah the sons of Shisha were secretaries; Jehosh'aphat the son of Ahi'lud was recorder;
rsv@1Kings:4:4 @ Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was in command of the army; Zadok and Abi'athar were priests;
rsv@1Kings:4:5 @ Azari'ah the son of Nathan was over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan was priest and king's friend;
rsv@1Kings:4:6 @ Ahi'shar was in charge of the palace; and Adoni'ram the son of Abda was in charge of the forced labor.
rsv@1Kings:4:7 @ Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household; each man had to make provision for one month in the year.
rsv@1Kings:4:8 @ These were their names: Ben-hur, in the hill country of E'phraim;
rsv@1Kings:4:9 @ Ben-deker, in Makaz, Sha-al'bim, Beth-she'mesh, and E'lonbeth-ha'nan;
rsv@1Kings:4:10 @ Ben-hesed, in Arub'both (to him belonged Socoh and all the land of Hepher);
rsv@1Kings:4:11 @ Ben-abin'adab, in all Naphath-dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as his wife);
rsv@1Kings:4:12 @ Ba'ana the son of Ahi'lud, in Ta'anach, Megid'do, and all Beth-she'an which is beside Zarethan below Jezreel, and from Beth-she'an to A'bel-meho'lah, as far as the other side of Jok'meam;
rsv@1Kings:4:13 @ Ben-geber, in Ra'moth-gil'ead (he had the villages of Ja'ir the son of Manas'seh, which are in Gilead, and he had the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars);
rsv@1Kings:4:14 @ Ahin'adab the son of Iddo, in Mahana'im;
rsv@1Kings:4:15 @ Ahi'ma-az, in Naph'tali (he had taken Bas'emath the daughter of Solomon as his wife);
rsv@1Kings:4:16 @ Ba'ana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;
rsv@1Kings:4:17 @ Jehosh'aphat the son of Paru'ah, in Is'sachar;
rsv@1Kings:4:18 @ Shim'e-i the son of Ela, in Benjamin;
rsv@1Kings:4:19 @ Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan. And there was one officer in the land of Judah.
rsv@1Kings:4:20 @ Judah and Israel were as many as the sand by the sea; they ate and drank and were happy.
rsv@1Kings:4:21 @ Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphra'tes to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
rsv@1Kings:4:22 @ Solomon's provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, and sixty cors of meal,
rsv@1Kings:4:23 @ ten fat oxen, and twenty pasture-fed cattle, a hundred sheep, besides harts, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.
rsv@1Kings:4:24 @ For he had dominion over all the region west of the Euphra'tes from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings west of the Euphra'tes; and he had peace on all sides round about him.
rsv@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, all the days of Solomon.
rsv@1Kings:4:26 @ Solomon also had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
rsv@1Kings:4:27 @ And those officers supplied provisions for King Solomon, and for all who came to King Solomon's table, each one in his month; they let nothing be lacking.
rsv@1Kings:4:28 @ Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds they brought to the place where it was required, each according to his charge.
rsv@1Kings:4:29 @ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding beyond measure, and largeness of mind like the sand on the seashore,
rsv@1Kings:4:30 @ so that Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the people of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
rsv@1Kings:4:31 @ For he was wiser than all other men, wiser than Ethan the Ez'rahite, and Heman, Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the nations round about.
rsv@1Kings:4:32 @ He also uttered three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.
rsv@1Kings:4:33 @ He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of the wall; he spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of reptiles, and of fish.
rsv@1Kings:4:34 @ And men came from all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
rsv@1Kings:5:1 @ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father; for Hiram always loved David.
rsv@1Kings:5:2 @ And Solomon sent word to Hiram,
rsv@1Kings:5:3 @ "You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the warfare with which his enemies surrounded him, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
rsv@1Kings:5:4 @ But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.
rsv@1Kings:5:5 @ And so I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD said to David my father, `Your son, whom I will set upon your throne in your place, shall build the house for my name.'
rsv@1Kings:5:6 @ Now therefore command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me; and my servants will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants such wages as you set; for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sido'nians."
rsv@1Kings:5:7 @ When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed be the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son to be over this great people."
rsv@1Kings:5:8 @ And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me; I am ready to do all you desire in the matter of cedar and cypress timber.
rsv@1Kings:5:9 @ My servants shall bring it down to the sea from Lebanon; and I will make it into rafts to go by sea to the place you direct, and I will have them broken up there, and you shall receive it; and you shall meet my wishes by providing food for my household."
rsv@1Kings:5:10 @ So Hiram supplied Solomon with all the timber of cedar and cypress that he desired,
rsv@1Kings:5:11 @ while Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty thousand cors of beaten oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
rsv@1Kings:5:12 @ And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a treaty.
rsv@1Kings:5:13 @ King Solomon raised a levy of forced labor out of all Israel; and the levy numbered thirty thousand men.
rsv@1Kings:5:14 @ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in relays; they would be a month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoni'ram was in charge of the levy.
rsv@1Kings:5:15 @ Solomon also had seventy thousand burden-bearers and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the hill country,
rsv@1Kings:5:16 @ besides Solomon's three thousand three hundred chief officers who were over the work, who had charge of the people who carried on the work.
rsv@1Kings:5:17 @ At the king's command, they quarried out great, costly stones in order to lay the foundation of the house with dressed stones.
rsv@1Kings:5:18 @ So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the men of Gebal did the hewing and prepared the timber and the stone to build the house.
rsv@1Kings:6:1 @ In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD.
rsv@1Kings:6:2 @ The house which King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
rsv@1Kings:6:3 @ The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house, and ten cubits deep in front of the house.
rsv@1Kings:6:4 @ And he made for the house windows with recessed frames.
rsv@1Kings:6:5 @ He also built a structure against the wall of the house, running round the walls of the house, both the nave and the inner sanctuary; and he made side chambers all around.
rsv@1Kings:6:6 @ The lowest story was five cubits broad, the middle one was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for around the outside of the house he made offsets on the wall in order that the supporting beams should not be inserted into the walls of the house.
rsv@1Kings:6:7 @ When the house was built, it was with stone prepared at the quarry; so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard in the temple, while it was being built.
rsv@1Kings:6:8 @ The entrance for the lowest story was on the south side of the house; and one went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle story to the third.
rsv@1Kings:6:9 @ So he built the house, and finished it; and he made the ceiling of the house of beams and planks of cedar.
rsv@1Kings:6:10 @ He built the structure against the whole house, each story five cubits high, and it was joined to the house with timbers of cedar.
rsv@1Kings:6:11 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon,
rsv@1Kings:6:12 @ "Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in my statutes and obey my ordinances and keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
rsv@1Kings:6:13 @ And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel."
rsv@1Kings:6:14 @ So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
rsv@1Kings:6:15 @ He lined the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the rafters of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
rsv@1Kings:6:16 @ He built twenty cubits of the rear of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the rafters, and he built this within as an inner sanctuary, as the most holy place.
rsv@1Kings:6:17 @ The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long.
rsv@1Kings:6:18 @ The cedar within the house was carved in the form of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
rsv@1Kings:6:19 @ The inner sanctuary he prepared in the innermost part of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
rsv@1Kings:6:20 @ The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high; and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also made an altar of cedar.
rsv@1Kings:6:21 @ And Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold, and he drew chains of gold across, in front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold.
rsv@1Kings:6:22 @ And he overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
rsv@1Kings:6:23 @ In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high.
rsv@1Kings:6:24 @ Five cubits was the length of one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the length of the other wing of the cherub; it was ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.
rsv@1Kings:6:25 @ The other cherub also measured ten cubits; both cherubim had the same measure and the same form.
rsv@1Kings:6:26 @ The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was that of the other cherub.
rsv@1Kings:6:27 @ He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house; and the wings of the cherubim were spread out so that a wing of one touched the one wall, and a wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; their other wings touched each other in the middle of the house.
rsv@1Kings:6:28 @ And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
rsv@1Kings:6:29 @ He carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms.
rsv@1Kings:6:30 @ The floor of the house he overlaid with gold in the inner and outer rooms.
rsv@1Kings:6:31 @ For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood; the lintel and the doorposts formed a pentagon.
rsv@1Kings:6:32 @ He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; he overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim and upon the palm trees.
rsv@1Kings:6:33 @ So also he made for the entrance to the nave doorposts of olivewood, in the form of a square,
rsv@1Kings:6:34 @ and two doors of cypress wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
rsv@1Kings:6:35 @ On them he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied upon the carved work.
rsv@1Kings:6:36 @ He built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone and one course of cedar beams.
rsv@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv.
rsv@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its parts, and according to all its specifications. He was seven years in building it.
rsv@1Kings:7:1 @ Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished his entire house.![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
