Joshua:1:2 @ "Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them--the children of Israel.
nkjv@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
nkjv@Joshua:1:10 @ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
nkjv@Joshua:1:11 @ "Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, "Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess."'
nkjv@Joshua:3:3 @ and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it.
nkjv@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."
nkjv@Joshua:3:6 @ Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people." So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.
nkjv@Joshua:3:14 @ So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,
nkjv@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
nkjv@Joshua:3:17 @ Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.
nkjv@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying:
nkjv@Joshua:4:2 @ "Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe,
nkjv@Joshua:4:10 @ So the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and crossed over.
nkjv@Joshua:4:11 @ Then it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over, that the ark of the LORD and the priests crossed over in the presence of the people.
nkjv@Joshua:4:19 @ Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.
nkjv@Joshua:4:24 @ that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."
nkjv@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.
nkjv@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
nkjv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD--to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, "a land flowing with milk and honey."
nkjv@Joshua:5:8 @ So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.
nkjv@Joshua:6:5 @ It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him."
nkjv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, "Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the LORD."
nkjv@Joshua:6:8 @ So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
nkjv@Joshua:6:10 @ Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, "Shout!' Then you shall shout."
nkjv@Joshua:6:16 @ And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
nkjv@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
nkjv@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few."
nkjv@Joshua:7:4 @ So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.
nkjv@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
nkjv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, Lord GOD, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all--to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
nkjv@Joshua:7:13 @ Get up, sanctify the people, and say, "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the LORD God of Israel: "There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you."
nkjv@Joshua:8:1 @ Now the LORD said to Joshua: "Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
nkjv@Joshua:8:3 @ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor and sent them away by night.
nkjv@Joshua:8:5 @ Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city; and it will come about, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before them.
nkjv@Joshua:8:9 @ Joshua therefore sent them out; and they went to lie in ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
nkjv@Joshua:8:10 @ Then Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
nkjv@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near; and they came before the city and camped on the north side of Ai. Now a valley lay between them and Ai.
nkjv@Joshua:8:13 @ And when they had set the people, all the army that was on the north of the city, and its rear guard on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
nkjv@Joshua:8:14 @ Now it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
nkjv@Joshua:8:16 @ So all the people who were in Ai were called together to pursue them. And they pursued Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
nkjv@Joshua:8:20 @ And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to heaven. So they had no power to flee this way or that way, and the people who had fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
nkjv@Joshua:8:25 @ So it was that all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand--all the people of Ai.
nkjv@Joshua:8:33 @ Then all Israel, with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, the stranger as well as he who was born among them. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
nkjv@Joshua:10:7 @ So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
nkjv@Joshua:10:13 @ So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
nkjv@Joshua:10:21 @ And all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua at Makkedah, in peace. No one moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
nkjv@Joshua:10:28 @ On that day Joshua took Makkedah, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them --all the people who were in it. He let none remain. He also did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
nkjv@Joshua:10:30 @ And the LORD also delivered it and its king into the hand of Israel; he struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword. He let none remain in it, but did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
nkjv@Joshua:10:32 @ And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
nkjv@Joshua:10:33 @ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he left him none remaining.
nkjv@Joshua:10:35 @ They took it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; all the people who were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
nkjv@Joshua:10:37 @ And they took it and struck it with the edge of the sword--its king, all its cities, and all the people who were in it; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon, but utterly destroyed it and all the people who were in it.
nkjv@Joshua:10:39 @ And he took it and its king and all its cities; they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the people who were in it. He left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had done also to Libnah and its king.
nkjv@Joshua:11:4 @ So they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
nkjv@Joshua:11:7 @ So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and they attacked them.
nkjv@Joshua:11:11 @ And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was none left breathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire.
nkjv@Joshua:12:23 @ the king of Dor in the heights of Dor, one; the king of the people of Gilgal, one;
nkjv@Joshua:14:8 @ Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
nkjv@Joshua:17:14 @ Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?"
nkjv@Joshua:17:15 @ So Joshua answered them, "If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you."
nkjv@Joshua:17:17 @ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph--to Ephraim and Manasseh--saying, "You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot,
nkjv@Joshua:19:9 @ The inheritance of the children of Simeon was included in the share of the children of Judah, for the share of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of that people.
nkjv@Joshua:24:2 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.
nkjv@Joshua:24:16 @ So the people answered and said: "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods;
nkjv@Joshua:24:17 @ for the LORD our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed.
nkjv@Joshua:24:18 @ And the LORD drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the LORD, for He is our God."
nkjv@Joshua:24:19 @ But Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve the LORD, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
nkjv@Joshua:24:21 @ And the people said to Joshua, "No, but we will serve the LORD!"
nkjv@Joshua:24:22 @ So Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD for yourselves, to serve Him." And they said, "We are witnesses!"
nkjv@Joshua:24:24 @ And the people said to Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!"
nkjv@Joshua:24:25 @ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
nkjv@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God."
nkjv@Joshua:24:28 @ So Joshua let the people depart, each to his own inheritance.
nkjv@Judges:1:16 @ Now the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up from the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South near Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
nkjv@Judges:2:4 @ So it was, when the Angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.
nkjv@Judges:2:6 @ And when Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.
nkjv@Judges:2:7 @ So the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD which He had done for Israel.
nkjv@Judges:2:12 @ and they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.
nkjv@Judges:3:13 @ Then he gathered to himself the people of Ammon and Amalek, went and defeated Israel, and took possession of the City of Palms.
nkjv@Judges:3:18 @ And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who had carried the tribute.
nkjv@Judges:4:13 @ So Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Hagoyim to the River Kishon.
nkjv@Judges:5:2 @ "When leaders lead in Israel, When the people willingly offer themselves, Bless the LORD!
nkjv@Judges:5:9 @ My heart is with the rulers of Israel Who offered themselves willingly with the people. Bless the LORD!
nkjv@Judges:5:11 @ Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places, There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel; Then the people of the LORD shall go down to the gates.
nkjv@Judges:5:13 @ "Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles; The LORD came down for me against the mighty.
nkjv@Judges:5:14 @ From Ephraim were those whose roots were in Amalek. After you, Benjamin, with your peoples, From Machir rulers came down, And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter's staff.
nkjv@Judges:5:18 @ Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
nkjv@Judges:6:3 @ So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.
nkjv@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Midianites and Amalekites, the people of the East, gathered together; and they crossed over and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.
nkjv@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the well of Harod, so that the camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.
nkjv@Judges:7:2 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, "My own hand has saved me.'
nkjv@Judges:7:3 @ Now therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, "Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him turn and depart at once from Mount Gilead."' And twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.
nkjv@Judges:7:4 @ But the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be, that of whom I say to you, "This one shall go with you,' the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, "This one shall not go with you,' the same shall not go."
nkjv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink."
nkjv@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
nkjv@Judges:7:7 @ Then the LORD said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place."
nkjv@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.
nkjv@Judges:7:12 @ Now the Midianites and Amalekites, all the people of the East, were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the seashore in multitude.
nkjv@Judges:8:5 @ Then he said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."
nkjv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for one hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword had fallen.
nkjv@Judges:9:29 @ If only this people were under my authority! Then I would remove Abimelech." So he said to Abimelech, "Increase your army and come out!"
nkjv@Judges:9:32 @ Now therefore, get up by night, you and the people who are with you, and lie in wait in the field.
nkjv@Judges:9:33 @ And it shall be, as soon as the sun is up in the morning, that you shall rise early and rush upon the city; and when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you may then do to them as you find opportunity."
nkjv@Judges:9:34 @ So Abimelech and all the people who were with him rose by night, and lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.
nkjv@Judges:9:35 @ When Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance to the city gate, Abimelech and the people who were with him rose from lying in wait.
nkjv@Judges:9:36 @ And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains!" But Zebul said to him, "You see the shadows of the mountains as if they were men."
nkjv@Judges:9:37 @ So Gaal spoke again and said, "See, people are coming down from the center of the land, and another company is coming from the Diviners' Terebinth Tree."
nkjv@Judges:9:38 @ Then Zebul said to him, "Where indeed is your mouth now, with which you said, "Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?' Are not these the people whom you despised? Go out, if you will, and fight with them now."
nkjv@Judges:9:42 @ And it came about on the next day that the people went out into the field, and they told Abimelech.
nkjv@Judges:9:43 @ So he took his people, divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field. And he looked, and there were the people, coming out of the city; and he rose against them and attacked them.
nkjv@Judges:9:45 @ So Abimelech fought against the city all that day; he took the city and killed the people who were in it; and he demolished the city and sowed it with salt.
nkjv@Judges:9:48 @ Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him. And Abimelech took an ax in his hand and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it and laid it on his shoulder; then he said to the people who were with him, "What you have seen me do, make haste and do as I have done."
nkjv@Judges:9:49 @ So each of the people likewise cut down his own bough and followed Abimelech, put them against the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire above them, so that all the people of the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women.
nkjv@Judges:9:51 @ But there was a strong tower in the city, and all the men and women--all the people of the city--fled there and shut themselves in; then they went up to the top of the tower.
nkjv@Judges:10:6 @ Then the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.
nkjv@Judges:10:7 @ So the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the people of Ammon.
nkjv@Judges:10:9 @ Moreover the people of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah also, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.
nkjv@Judges:10:11 @ So the LORD said to the children of Israel, "Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites and from the people of Ammon and from the Philistines?
nkjv@Judges:10:17 @ Then the people of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled together and encamped in Mizpah.
nkjv@Judges:10:18 @ And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, "Who is the man who will begin the fight against the people of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
nkjv@Judges:11:4 @ It came to pass after a time that the people of Ammon made war against Israel.
nkjv@Judges:11:5 @ And so it was, when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.
nkjv@Judges:11:6 @ Then they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the people of Ammon."
nkjv@Judges:11:8 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the people of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
nkjv@Judges:11:9 @ So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you take me back home to fight against the people of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them to me, shall I be your head?"
nkjv@Judges:11:11 @ Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.
nkjv@Judges:11:12 @ Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, "What do you have against me, that you have come to fight against me in my land?"
nkjv@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably."
nkjv@Judges:11:14 @ So Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon,
nkjv@Judges:11:15 @ and said to him, "Thus says Jephthah: "Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the people of Ammon;
nkjv@Judges:11:20 @ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
nkjv@Judges:11:21 @ And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them. Thus Israel gained possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country.
nkjv@Judges:11:23 @ "And now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel; should you then possess it?
nkjv@Judges:11:27 @ Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you wronged me by fighting against me. May the LORD, the Judge, render judgment this day between the children of Israel and the people of Ammon."'
nkjv@Judges:11:28 @ However, the king of the people of Ammon did not heed the words which Jephthah sent him.
nkjv@Judges:11:29 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed through Mizpah of Gilead; and from Mizpah of Gilead he advanced toward the people of Ammon.
nkjv@Judges:11:30 @ And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If You will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hands,
nkjv@Judges:11:31 @ then it will be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."
nkjv@Judges:11:32 @ So Jephthah advanced toward the people of Ammon to fight against them, and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
nkjv@Judges:11:33 @ And he defeated them from Aroer as far as Minnith--twenty cities--and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the people of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
nkjv@Judges:11:36 @ So she said to him, "My father, if you have given your word to the LORD, do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, because the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the people of Ammon."
nkjv@Judges:12:1 @ Then the men of Ephraim gathered together, crossed over toward Zaphon, and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the people of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you with fire!"
nkjv@Judges:12:2 @ And Jephthah said to them, "My people and I were in a great struggle with the people of Ammon; and when I called you, you did not deliver me out of their hands.
nkjv@Judges:12:3 @ So when I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the people of Ammon; and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?"
nkjv@Judges:14:3 @ Then his father and mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you must go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she pleases me well."
nkjv@Judges:14:16 @ Then Samson's wife wept on him, and said, "You only hate me! You do not love me! You have posed a riddle to the sons of my people, but you have not explained it to me." And he said to her, "Look, I have not explained it to my father or my mother; so should I explain it to you?"
nkjv@Judges:14:17 @ Now she had wept on him the seven days while their feast lasted. And it happened on the seventh day that he told her, because she pressed him so much. Then she explained the riddle to the sons of her people.
nkjv@Judges:16:24 @ When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: "Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, The destroyer of our land, And the one who multiplied our dead."
nkjv@Judges:16:30 @ Then Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" And he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life.
nkjv@Judges:18:7 @ So the five men departed and went to Laish. They saw the people who were there, how they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There were no rulers in the land who might put them to shame for anything. They were far from the Sidonians, and they had no ties with anyone.
nkjv@Judges:18:10 @ When you go, you will come to a secure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth."
nkjv@Judges:18:20 @ So the priest's heart was glad; and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and took his place among the people.
nkjv@Judges:18:27 @ So they took the things Micah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.
nkjv@Judges:20:2 @ And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword.
nkjv@Judges:20:8 @ So all the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, nor will any turn back to his house;
nkjv@Judges:20:10 @ We will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make provisions for the people, that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may repay all the vileness that they have done in Israel."
nkjv@Judges:20:16 @ Among all this people were seven hundred select men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair's breadth and not miss.
nkjv@Judges:20:22 @ And the people, that is, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and again formed the battle line at the place where they had put themselves in array on the first day.
nkjv@Judges:20:26 @ Then all the children of Israel, that is, all the people, went up and came to the house of God and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
nkjv@Judges:20:31 @ So the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down and kill some of the people, as at the other times, in the highways (one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah) and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
nkjv@Judges:21:2 @ Then the people came to the house of God, and remained there before God till evening. They lifted up their voices and wept bitterly,
nkjv@Judges:21:4 @ So it was, on the next morning, that the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
nkjv@Judges:21:9 @ For when the people were counted, indeed, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead was there.
nkjv@Judges:21:15 @ And the people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel.
nkjv@Ruth:1:6 @ Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the LORD had visited His people by giving them bread.
nkjv@Ruth:1:10 @ And they said to her, "Surely we will return with you to your people."
nkjv@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law."
nkjv@Ruth:1:16 @ But Ruth said: "Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.
nkjv@Ruth:2:11 @ And Boaz answered and said to her, "It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before.
nkjv@Ruth:2:22 @ And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field."
nkjv@Ruth:3:11 @ And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.
nkjv@Ruth:4:4 @ And I thought to inform you, saying, "Buy it back in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you."' And he said, "I will redeem it."
nkjv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.
nkjv@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.
nkjv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the priests' custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.
nkjv@1Samuel:2:23 @ So he said to them, "Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people.
nkjv@1Samuel:2:24 @ No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make the LORD's people transgress.
nkjv@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling place, and honor your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?'
nkjv@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies."
nkjv@1Samuel:4:4 @ So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
nkjv@1Samuel:4:17 @ So the messenger answered and said, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead; and the ark of God has been captured."
nkjv@1Samuel:5:3 @ And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set it in its place again.
nkjv@1Samuel:5:6 @ But the hand of the LORD was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and He ravaged them and struck them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory.
nkjv@1Samuel:5:10 @ Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!"
nkjv@1Samuel:5:11 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people." For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
nkjv@1Samuel:6:6 @ Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He did mighty things among them, did they not let the people go, that they might depart?
nkjv@1Samuel:6:13 @ Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
nkjv@1Samuel:6:19 @ Then He struck the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck fifty thousand and seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.
nkjv@1Samuel:8:7 @ And the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
nkjv@1Samuel:8:10 @ So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who asked him for a king.
nkjv@1Samuel:8:19 @ Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, "No, but we will have a king over us,
nkjv@1Samuel:8:21 @ And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the hearing of the LORD.
nkjv@1Samuel:9:2 @ And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. There was not a more handsome person than he among the children of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.
nkjv@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them and said, "Yes, there he is, just ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he came to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today on the high place.
nkjv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him."
nkjv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me."
nkjv@1Samuel:9:17 @ So when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, "There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people."
nkjv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
nkjv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
nkjv@1Samuel:10:17 @ Then Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah,
nkjv@1Samuel:10:23 @ So they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.
nkjv@1Samuel:10:24 @ And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?" So all the people shouted and said, "Long live the king!"
nkjv@1Samuel:10:25 @ Then Samuel explained to the people the behavior of royalty, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
nkjv@1Samuel:11:4 @ So the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the news in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept.
nkjv@1Samuel:11:5 @ Now there was Saul, coming behind the herd from the field; and Saul said, "What troubles the people, that they weep?" And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
nkjv@1Samuel:11:7 @ So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not go out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen." And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
nkjv@1Samuel:11:11 @ So it was, on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and killed Ammonites until the heat of the day. And it happened that those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
nkjv@1Samuel:11:12 @ Then the people said to Samuel, "Who is he who said, "Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."
nkjv@1Samuel:11:14 @ Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there."
nkjv@1Samuel:11:15 @ So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
nkjv@1Samuel:12:6 @ Then Samuel said to the people, "It is the LORD who raised up Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up from the land of Egypt.
nkjv@1Samuel:12:18 @ So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
nkjv@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves."
nkjv@1Samuel:12:20 @ Then Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.
nkjv@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:4 @ Now all Israel heard it said that Saul had attacked a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel had also become an abomination to the Philistines. And the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:5 @ Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:6 @ When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:7 @ And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:8 @ Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash,
nkjv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."
nkjv@1Samuel:13:15 @ Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people present with him, about six hundred men.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:16 @ Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
nkjv@1Samuel:13:22 @ So it came about, on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:2 @ And Saul was sitting in the outskirts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron. The people who were with him were about six hundred men.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:3 @ Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. But the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was a very great trembling.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Now call the roll and see who has gone from us." And when they had called the roll, surprisingly, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:20 @ Then Saul and all the people who were with him assembled, and they went to the battle; and indeed every man's sword was against his neighbor, and there was very great confusion.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:25 @ Now all the people of the land came to a forest; and there was honey on the ground.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the woods, there was the honey, dripping; but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; therefore he stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his countenance brightened.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:28 @ Then one of the people said, "Your father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats food this day."' And the people were faint.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now would there not have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?"
nkjv@1Samuel:14:31 @ Now they had driven back the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. So the people were very faint.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:32 @ And the people rushed on the spoil, and took sheep, oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:33 @ Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood!" So he said, "You have dealt treacherously; roll a large stone to me this day."
nkjv@1Samuel:14:34 @ Then Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, "Bring me here every man's ox and every man's sheep, slaughter them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood."' So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slaughtered it there.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, "Come over here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But not a man among all the people answered him.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:40 @ Then he said to all Israel, "You be on one side, and my son Jonathan and I will be on the other side." And the people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."
nkjv@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, "Give a perfect lot." So Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people escaped.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:45 @ But the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of Ammon, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he harassed them.
nkjv@1Samuel:15:1 @ Samuel also said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the LORD.
nkjv@1Samuel:15:4 @ So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.
nkjv@1Samuel:15:8 @ He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
nkjv@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.
nkjv@1Samuel:15:15 @ And Saul said, "They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed."
nkjv@1Samuel:15:21 @ But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal."
