rsv@Joshua:1:1 @ After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister,

rsv@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, as I promised to Moses.

rsv@Joshua:1:5 @ No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.

rsv@Joshua:1:15 @ until the LORD gives rest to your brethren as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them; then you shall return to the land of your possession, and shall possess it, the land which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise."

rsv@Joshua:1:17 @ Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you; only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses!

rsv@Joshua:1:18 @ Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."

rsv@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

rsv@Joshua:2:7 @ So the men pursued after them on the way to the Jordan as far as the fords; and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut.

rsv@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God is he who is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

rsv@Joshua:2:12 @ Now then, swear to me by the LORD that as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign,

rsv@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she dwelt in the wall.

rsv@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said, "According to your words, so be it." Then she sent them away, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet cord in the window.

rsv@Joshua:2:23 @ Then the two men came down again from the hills, and passed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.

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:3:13 @ And when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be stopped from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap."

rsv@Joshua:3:14 @ So, when the people set out from their tents, to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

rsv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial for ever."

rsv@Joshua:4:12 @ The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manas'seh passed over armed before the people of Israel, as Moses had bidden them;

rsv@Joshua:4:18 @ And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.

rsv@Joshua:4:24 @ so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty; that you may fear the LORD your God for ever."

rsv@Joshua:5:3 @ So Joshua made flint knives, and circumcised the people of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

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:5:7 @ So it was their children, whom he raised up in their stead, that Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

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:5:10 @ While the people of Israel were encamped in Gilgal they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:5:11 @ And on the morrow after the passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain.

rsv@Joshua:5:15 @ And the commander of the LORD's army said to Joshua, "Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.

rsv@Joshua:6:5 @ And when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him."

rsv@Joshua:6:6 @ So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

rsv@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp.

rsv@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days.

rsv@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people raised a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

rsv@Joshua:6:23 @ So the young men who had been spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her; and they brought all her kindred, and set them outside the camp of Israel.

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:7:1 @ But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things; for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things; and the anger of the LORD burned against the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:7:4 @ So about three thousand went up there from the people; and they fled before the men of Ai,

rsv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, and lied, and put them among their own stuff.

rsv@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel near tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was taken;

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:7:19 @ Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and render praise to him; and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me."

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:8:3 @ So Joshua arose, and all the fighting men, to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night.

rsv@Joshua:8:6 @ and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, `They are fleeing from us, as before.' So we will flee from them;

rsv@Joshua:8:9 @ So Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the place of ambush, and lay between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.

rsv@Joshua:8:13 @ So they stationed the forces, the main encampment which was north of the city and its rear guard west of the city. But Joshua spent that night in the valley.

rsv@Joshua:8:16 @ So all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn away from 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:8:28 @ So Joshua burned Ai, and made it for ever a heap of ruins, as it is to this day.

rsv@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, sojourner as well as homeborn, with their elders and officers and their judges, stood on opposite sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, half of them in front of Mount Ger'izim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

rsv@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who lived among them.

rsv@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country; so now make a covenant with us."

rsv@Joshua:9:14 @ So the men partook of their provisions, and did not ask direction from the LORD.

rsv@Joshua:9:21 @ And the leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the leaders had said of them.

rsv@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall always be slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."

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:9:26 @ So he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the people of Israel; and they did not kill them.

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:10:7 @ So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

rsv@Joshua:10:9 @ So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched up all night from Gilgal.

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:10:28 @ And Joshua took Makke'dah on that day, and smote it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed every person in it, he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makke'dah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

rsv@Joshua:10:30 @ and the LORD gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

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:10:35 @ 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:10:37 @ and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king and its towns, and every person in it; he left none remaining, as he had done to Eglon, and utterly destroyed it with every person in it.

rsv@Joshua:10:39 @ and he took it with its king and all its towns; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person in it; he left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and to its king.

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: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:11:7 @ 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:11:16 @ So Joshua took all that land, the hill country and all the Negeb and all the land of Goshen and the lowland and the Arabah and the hill country of Israel and its lowland

rsv@Joshua:11:22 @ There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

rsv@Joshua:11:23 @ So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.

rsv@Joshua:12:3 @ and the Arabah to the Sea of Chin'neroth eastward, and in the direction of Beth-jesh'imoth, to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, southward to the foot of the slopes of Pisgah;

rsv@Joshua:13:4 @ in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mear'ah which belongs to the Sido'nians, to Aphek, to the boundary of the Amorites,

rsv@Joshua:13:16 @ So their territory was from Aro'er, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the tableland by Med'eba;

rsv@Joshua:13:22 @ Balaam also, the son of Be'or, the soothsayer, the people of Israel killed with the sword among the rest of their slain.

rsv@Joshua:13:24 @ And Moses gave an inheritance also to the tribe of the Gadites, according to their families.

rsv@Joshua:13:31 @ and half Gilead, and Ash'taroth, and Ed're-i, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan; these were allotted to the people of Machir the son of Manas'seh for the half of the Machirites according to their families.

rsv@Joshua:14:1 @ And these are the inheritances which the people of Israel received in the land of Canaan, which Elea'zar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel distributed to them.

rsv@Joshua:14:6 @ Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal; and Caleb the son of Jephun'neh the Ken'izzite said to him, "You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God in Ka'desh-bar'nea concerning you and me.

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:14:13 @ Then Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephun'neh for an inheritance.

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:15:1 @ The lot for the tribe of the people of Judah according to their families reached southward to the boundary of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin at the farthest south.

rsv@Joshua:15:2 @ And their south boundary ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward;

rsv@Joshua:15:3 @ it goes out southward of the ascent of Akrab'bim, passes along to Zin, and goes up south of Ka'desh-bar'nea, along by Hezron, up to Addar, turns about to Karka,

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:15:6 @ and the boundary goes up to Beth-hoglah, and passes along north of Beth-arabah; and the boundary goes up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;

rsv@Joshua:15:7 @ and the boundary goes up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and so northward, turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent of Adum'mim, which is on the south side of the valley; and the boundary passes along to the waters of En-she'mesh, and ends at En-ro'gel;

rsv@Joshua:15:8 @ then the boundary goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom at the southern shoulder of the Jeb'usite (that is, Jerusalem); and the boundary goes up to the top of the mountain that lies over against the valley of Hinnom, on the west, at the northern end of the valley of Reph'aim;

rsv@Joshua:15:13 @ According to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, he gave to Caleb the son of Jephun'neh a portion among the people of Judah, Kir'iath-ar'ba, that is, Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).

rsv@Joshua:15:14 @ And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak, She'shai and Ahi'man and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.

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:15:19 @ She said to him, "Give me a present; since you have set me in the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

rsv@Joshua:15:21 @ The cities belonging to the tribe of the people of Judah in the extreme South, toward the boundary of Edom, were Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,

rsv@Joshua:15:35 @ Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, Aze'kah,

rsv@Joshua:15:48 @ And in the hill country, Shamir, Jattir, Socoh,

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:17:2 @ And allotments were made to the rest of the tribe of Manas'seh, by their families, Abi-e'zer, Helek, As'ri-el, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemi'da; these were the male descendants of Manas'seh the son of Joseph, by their families.

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:17:4 @ They came before Elea'zar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the leaders, and said, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with our brethren." So according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

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:17:7 @ The territory of Manas'seh reached from Asher to Mich-me'thath, which is east of Shechem; then the boundary goes along southward to the inhabitants of En-tap'puah.

rsv@Joshua:17:8 @ The land of Tap'puah belonged to Manas'seh, but the town of Tap'puah on the boundary of Manas'seh belonged to the sons of E'phraim.

rsv@Joshua:17:9 @ Then the boundary went down to the brook Kanah. The cities here, to the south of the brook, among the cities of Manas'seh, belong to E'phraim. Then the boundary of Manas'seh goes on the north side of the brook and ends at the sea;

rsv@Joshua:17:10 @ the land to the south being E'phraim's and that to the north being Manas'seh's, with the sea forming its boundary; on the north Asher is reached, and on the east Is'sachar.

rsv@Joshua:17:11 @ Also in Is'sachar and in Asher Manas'seh had Beth-she'an and its villages, and Ibleam and its villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its villages, and the inhabitants of Ta'anach and its villages, and the inhabitants of Megid'do and its villages; the third is Naphath.

rsv@Joshua:17:12 @ Yet the sons of Manas'seh could not take possession of those cities; but the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in that land.

rsv@Joshua:18:3 @ So Joshua said to the people of Israel, "How long will you be slack to go in and take possession of the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?

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:18:8 @ So the men started on their way; and Joshua charged those who went to write the description of the land, saying, "Go up and down and write a description of the land, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

rsv@Joshua:18:9 @ So the men went and passed up and down in the land and set down in a book a description of it by towns in seven divisions; then they came to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh,

rsv@Joshua:18:13 @ From there the boundary passes along southward in the direction of Luz, to the shoulder of Luz (the same is Bethel), then the boundary goes down to At'aroth-ad'dar, upon the mountain that lies south of Lower Beth-hor'on.

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:18:15 @ And the southern side begins at the outskirts of Kir'iath-je'arim; and the boundary goes from there to Ephron, to the spring of the Waters of Nephto'ah;

rsv@Joshua:18:16 @ then the boundary goes down to the border of the mountain that overlooks the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is at the north end of the valley of Reph'aim; and it then goes down the valley of Hinnom, south of the shoulder of the Jeb'usites, and downward to En-rogel;

rsv@Joshua:18:17 @ then it bends in a northerly direction going on to En-she'mesh, and thence goes to Geli'loth, which is opposite the ascent of Adum'mim; then it goes down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;

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:19:22 @ the boundary also touches Tabor, Shahazu'mah, and Beth-she'mesh, and its boundary ends at the Jordan--sixteen cities with their villages.

rsv@Joshua:19:34 @ then the boundary turns westward to Az'noth-tabor, and goes from there to Hukkok, touching Zeb'ulun at the south, and Asher on the west, and Judah on the east at the Jordan.

rsv@Joshua:19:49 @ When they had finished distributing the several territories of the land as inheritances, the people of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun.

rsv@Joshua:19:51 @ These are the inheritances which Elea'zar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel distributed by lot at Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.

rsv@Joshua:20:3 @ that the manslayer who kills any person without intent or unwittingly may flee there; they shall be for you a refuge from the avenger of blood.

rsv@Joshua:20:7 @ So they set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naph'tali, and Shechem in the hill country of E'phraim, and Kir'iath-ar'ba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.

rsv@Joshua:20:9 @ These were the cities designated for all the people of Israel, and for the stranger sojourning among them, that any one who killed a person without intent could flee there, so that he might not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, till he stood before the congregation.

rsv@Joshua:21:1 @ Then the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites came to Elea'zar the priest and to Joshua the son of Nun and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel;

rsv@Joshua:21:3 @ So by command of the LORD the people of Israel gave to the Levites the following cities and pasture lands out of their inheritance.

rsv@Joshua:21:4 @ The lot came out for the families of the Ko'hathites. So those Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin, thirteen cities.

rsv@Joshua:21:6 @ The Gersonites received by lot from the families of the tribe of Is'sachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naph'tali, and from the half-tribe of Manas'seh in Bashan, thirteen cities.

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:21:42 @ These cities had each its pasture lands round about it; so it was with all these cities.

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:22:6 @ So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their homes.

rsv@Joshua:22:9 @ So the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh returned home, parting from the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had possessed themselves by command of the LORD through Moses.

rsv@Joshua:22:13 @ Then the people of Israel sent to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh, in the land of Gilead, Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest,

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:22:23 @ for building an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if we did so to offer burnt offerings or cereal offerings or peace offerings on it, may the LORD himself take vengeance.

rsv@Joshua:22:32 @ Then Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest, and the chiefs, returned from the Reubenites and the Gadites in the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them.

rsv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the people of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.

rsv@Judges:3:28 @ And he said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and allowed not a man to pass over.

rsv@Judges:3:31 @ After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred of the Philistines with an oxgoad; and he too delivered Israel.

rsv@Judges:4:23 @ So on that day God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the people of Israel.

rsv@Judges:6:5 @ For they would come up with their cattle and their tents, coming like locusts for number; both they and their camels could not be counted; so that they wasted the land as they came in.

rsv@Judges:6:11 @ Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak at Ophrah, which belonged to Jo'ash the Abiez'rite, as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Mid'ianites.

rsv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went into his house and prepared a kid, and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour; the meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the oak and presented them.

rsv@Judges:6:20 @ And the angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour the broth over them." And he did so.

rsv@Judges:6:27 @ So Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had told him; but because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.

rsv@Judges:6:29 @ And they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And after they had made search and inquired, they said, "Gideon the son of Jo'ash has done this thing."

rsv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the town said to Jo'ash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has pulled down the altar of Ba'al and cut down the Ashe'rah beside it."

rsv@Judges:6:34 @ But the Spirit of the LORD took possession of Gideon; and he sounded the trumpet, and the Abiez'rites were called out to follow him.

rsv@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

rsv@Judges:6:40 @ And God did so that night; for it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.

rsv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, "Every one that laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself; likewise every one that kneels down to drink."

rsv@Judges:7:8 @ So he took the jars of the people from their hands, and their trumpets; and he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men; and the camp of Mid'ian was below him in the valley.

rsv@Judges:7:13 @ When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade; and he said, "Behold, I dreamed a dream; and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Mid'ian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat."

rsv@Judges:7:14 @ And his comrade answered, "This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Jo'ash, a man of Israel; into his hand God has given Mid'ian and all the host."

rsv@Judges:7:18 @ When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and shout, `For the LORD and for Gideon.'"

rsv@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands.

rsv@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of E'phraim, saying, "Come down against the Mid'ianites and seize the waters against them, as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan." So all the men of E'phraim were called out, and they seized the waters as far as Beth-bar'ah, and also the Jordan.

rsv@Judges:8:2 @ And he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of E'phraim better than the vintage of Abi-e'zer?

rsv@Judges:8:3 @ God has given into your hands the princes of Mid'ian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger against him was abated, when he had said this.

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:8:13 @ Then Gideon the son of Jo'ash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres.

rsv@Judges:8:18 @ Then he said to Zebah and Zalmun'na, "Where are the men whom you slew at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they, every one of them; they resembled the sons of a king."

rsv@Judges:8:19 @ And he said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not slay you."

rsv@Judges:8:21 @ Then Zebah and Zalmun'na said, "Rise yourself, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength." And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmun'na; and he took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.

rsv@Judges:8:22 @ Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also; for you have delivered us out of the hand of Mid'ian."

rsv@Judges:8:23 @ Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the LORD will rule over you."

rsv@Judges:8:28 @ So Mid'ian was subdued before the people of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.

rsv@Judges:8:29 @ Jerubba'al the son of Jo'ash went and dwelt in his own house.

rsv@Judges:8:30 @ Now Gideon had seventy sons, his own offspring, for he had many wives.

rsv@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he called his name Abim'elech.

rsv@Judges:8:32 @ And Gideon the son of Jo'ash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Jo'ash his father, at Ophrah of the Abiez'rites.

rsv@Judges:8:33 @ As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel turned again and played the harlot after the Ba'als, and made Ba'al-be'rith their god.

rsv@Judges:9:35 @ And Ga'al the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and Abim'elech and the men that were with him rose from the ambush.

rsv@Judges:9:41 @ And Abim'elech dwelt at Aru'mah; and Zebul drove out Ga'al and his kinsmen, so that they could not live on at Shechem.

rsv@Judges:9:45 @ And Abim'elech fought against the city all that day; he took the city, and killed the people that were in it; and he razed the city and sowed it with salt.

rsv@Judges:9:49 @ So every one of the people cut down his bundle and following Abim'elech put it against the stronghold, and they set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the Tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.

rsv@Judges:9:57 @ and God also made all the wickedness of the men of Shechem fall back upon their heads, and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubba'al.

rsv@Judges:10:7 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites,

rsv@Judges:11:32 @ So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them; and the LORD gave them into his hand.

rsv@Judges:11:33 @ And he smote them from Aro'er to the neighborhood of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim, with a very great slaughter. So the Ammonites were subdued before the people of Israel.

rsv@Judges:11:34 @ Then Jephthah came to his home at Mizpah; and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances; she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

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

rsv@Judges:15:12 @ And they said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall upon me yourselves."

rsv@Judges:15:13 @ They said to him, "No; we will only bind you and give you into their hands; we will not kill you." So they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.

rsv@Judges:15:16 @ And Samson said, "With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of an ass have I slain a thousand men."

rsv@Judges:16:1 @ Samson went to Gaza, and there he saw a harlot, and he went in to her.

rsv@Judges:16:2 @ The Gazites were told, "Samson has come here," and they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They kept quiet all night, saying, "Let us wait till the light of the morning; then we will kill him."

rsv@Judges:16:3 @ But Samson lay till midnight, and at midnight he arose and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts, and pulled them up, bar and all, and put them on his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that is before Hebron.

rsv@Judges:16:4 @ After this he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Deli'lah.

rsv@Judges:16:6 @ And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Please tell me wherein your great strength lies, and how you might be bound, that one could subdue you."

rsv@Judges:16:7 @ And Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings which have not been dried, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

rsv@Judges:16:9 @ Now she had men lying in wait in an inner chamber. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the bowstrings, as a string of tow snaps when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

rsv@Judges:16:10 @ And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Behold, you have mocked me, and told me lies; please tell me how you might be bound."

rsv@Judges:16:12 @ So Deli'lah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And the men lying in wait were in an inner chamber. But he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread.

rsv@Judges:16:13 @ And Deli'lah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me, and told me lies; tell me how you might be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web and make it tight with the pin, then I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

rsv@Judges:16:14 @ So while he slept, Deli'lah took the seven locks of his head and wove them into the web. And she made them tight with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin, the loom, and the web.

rsv@Judges:16:16 @ And when she pressed him hard with her words day after day, and urged him, his soul was vexed to death.

rsv@Judges:16:20 @ And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as at other times, and shake myself free." And he did not know that the LORD had left him.

rsv@Judges:16:21 @ And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with bronze fetters; and he ground at the mill in the prison.

rsv@Judges:16:23 @ Now the lords of the Philistines gathered to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice; for they said, "Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hand."

rsv@Judges:16:25 @ And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Call Samson, that he may make sport for us." So they called Samson out of the prison, and he made sport before them. They made him stand between the pillars;

rsv@Judges:16:26 @ and Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them."

rsv@Judges:16:27 @ Now the house was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and on the roof there were about three thousand men and women, who looked on while Samson made sport.

rsv@Judges:16:28 @ Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be avenged upon the Philistines for one of my two eyes."

rsv@Judges:16:29 @ And Samson grasped the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and he leaned his weight upon them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other.

rsv@Judges:16:30 @ And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines." Then he bowed with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were in it. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain during his life.

rsv@Judges:17:2 @ And he said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."

rsv@Judges:17:3 @ And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, "I consecrate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore I will restore it to you."

rsv@Judges:17:4 @ So when he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave it to the silversmith, who made it into a graven image and a molten image; and it was in the house of Micah.

rsv@Judges:17:5 @ And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and installed one of his sons, who became his priest.

rsv@Judges:17:7 @ Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there.

rsv@Judges:17:9 @ And Micah said to him, "From where do you come?" And he said to him, "I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I may find a place."

rsv@Judges:17:11 @ And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man became to him like one of his sons.

rsv@Judges:18:2 @ So the Danites sent five able men from the whole number of their tribe, from Zorah and from Esh'ta-ol, to spy out the land and to explore it; and they said to them, "Go and explore the land." And they came to the hill country of E'phraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

rsv@Judges:18:21 @ So they turned and departed, putting the little ones and the cattle and the goods in front of them.

rsv@Judges:18:30 @ And the Danites set up the graven image for themselves; and Jonathan the son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.

rsv@Judges:18:31 @ So they set up Micah's graven image which he made, as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.

rsv@Judges:19:1 @ In those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was sojourning in the remote parts of the hill country of E'phraim, who took to himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

rsv@Judges:19:2 @ And his concubine became angry with him, and she went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there some four months.

rsv@Judges:19:4 @ And his father-in-law, the girl's father, made him stay, and he remained with him three days; so they ate and drank, and lodged there.

rsv@Judges:19:5 @ And on the fourth day they arose early in the morning, and he prepared to go; but the girl's father said to his son-in-law, "Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and after that you may go."

rsv@Judges:19:6 @ So the two men sat and ate and drank together; and the girl's father said to the man, "Be pleased to spend the night, and let your heart be merry."

rsv@Judges:19:8 @ And on the fifth day he arose early in the morning to depart; and the girl's father said, "Strengthen your heart, and tarry until the day declines." So they ate, both of them.

rsv@Judges:19:14 @ So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gib'e-ah, which belongs to Benjamin,

rsv@Judges:19:16 @ And behold, an old man was coming from his work in the field at evening; the man was from the hill country of E'phraim, and he was sojourning in Gib'e-ah; the men of the place were Benjaminites.

rsv@Judges:19:21 @ So he brought him into his house, and gave the asses provender; and they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

rsv@Judges:19:23 @ And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren, do not act so wickedly; seeing that this man has come into my house, do not do this vile thing.

rsv@Judges:19:24 @ Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine; let me bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but against this man do not do so vile a thing."

rsv@Judges:19:25 @ But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine, and put her out to them; and they knew her, and abused her all night until the morning. And as the dawn began to break, they let her go.

rsv@Judges:20:11 @ So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.

rsv@Judges:20:24 @ So the people of Israel came near against the Benjaminites the second day.

rsv@Judges:20:28 @ and Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar, son of Aaron, ministered before it in those days), saying, "Shall we yet again go out to battle against our brethren the Benjaminites, or shall we cease?" And the LORD said, "Go up; for tomorrow I will give them into your hand."

rsv@Judges:20:29 @ So Israel set men in ambush round about Gib'e-ah.

rsv@Judges:20:31 @ And the Benjaminites went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and as at other times they began to smite and kill some of the people, in the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gib'e-ah, and in the open country, about thirty men of Israel.

rsv@Judges:20:36 @ So the Benjaminites saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin, because they trusted to the men in ambush whom they had set against Gib'e-ah.

rsv@Judges:20:46 @ So all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword, all of them men of valor.

rsv@Judges:21:10 @ So the congregation sent thither twelve thousand of their bravest men, and commanded them, "Go and smite the inhabitants of Ja'besh-gil'ead with the edge of the sword; also the women and the little ones.

rsv@Judges:21:19 @ So they said, "Behold, there is the yearly feast of the LORD at Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, on the east of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebo'nah."

rsv@Judges:21:23 @ And the Benjaminites did so, and took their wives, according to their number, from the dancers whom they carried off; then they went and returned to their inheritance, and rebuilt the towns, and dwelt in them.

rsv@Ruth:1:1 @ In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

rsv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elim'elech and the name of his wife Na'omi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chil'ion; they were Eph'rathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there.

rsv@Ruth:1:3 @ But Elim'elech, the husband of Na'omi, died, and she was left with her two sons.

rsv@Ruth:1:5 @ and both Mahlon and Chil'ion died, so that the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband.

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

rsv@Ruth:1:11 @ But Na'omi said, "Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that they may become your husbands?

rsv@Ruth:1:12 @ Turn back, my daughters, go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, even if I should have a husband this night and should bear sons,

rsv@Ruth:1:17 @ where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if even death parts me from you."

rsv@Ruth:1:19 @ So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them; and the women said, "Is this Na'omi?"

rsv@Ruth:1:22 @ So Na'omi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

rsv@Ruth:2:3 @ So she set forth and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Bo'az, who was of the family of Elim'elech.

rsv@Ruth:2:7 @ She said, `Pray, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers.' So she came, and she has continued from early morning until now, without resting even for a moment."

rsv@Ruth:2:14 @ And at mealtime Bo'az said to her, "Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the wine." So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her parched grain; and she ate until she was satisfied, and she had some left over.

rsv@Ruth:2:16 @ And also pull out some from the bundles for her, and leave it for her to glean, and do not rebuke her."

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

rsv@Ruth:2:18 @ And she took it up and went into the city; she showed her mother-in-law what she had gleaned, and she also brought out and gave her what food she had left over after being satisfied.

rsv@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man who took notice of you." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Bo'az."

rsv@Ruth:2:20 @ And Na'omi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!" Na'omi also said to her, "The man is a relative of ours, one of our nearest kin."

rsv@Ruth:2:23 @ So she kept close to the maidens of Bo'az, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests; and she lived with her mother-in-law.

rsv@Ruth:3:6 @ So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had told her.

rsv@Ruth:3:7 @ And when Bo'az had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and lay down.

rsv@Ruth:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until the morning, but arose before one could recognize another; and he said, "Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

rsv@Ruth:3:15 @ And he said, "Bring the mantle you are wearing and hold it out." So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley, and laid it upon her; then she went into the city.

rsv@Ruth:4:1 @ And Bo'az went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the next of kin, of whom Bo'az had spoken, came by. So Bo'az said, "Turn aside, friend; sit down here"; and he turned aside and sat down.

rsv@Ruth:4:2 @ And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here"; so they sat down.

rsv@Ruth:4:4 @ So I thought I would tell you of it, and say, Buy it in the presence of those sitting here, and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you." And he said, "I will redeem it."

rsv@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Bo'az said, "The day you buy the field from the hand of Na'omi, you are also buying Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the dead, in order to restore the name of the dead to his inheritance."

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:4:10 @ 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@Ruth:4:13 @ So Bo'az took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

rsv@Ruth:4:15 @ He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has borne him."

rsv@Ruth:4:16 @ Then Na'omi took the child and laid him in her bosom, and became his nurse.

rsv@Ruth:4:17 @ And the women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Na'omi." They named him Obed; he was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

rsv@1Samuel:1:1 @ There was a certain man of Ramatha'im-zo'phim of the hill country of E'phraim, whose name was Elka'nah the son of Jero'ham, son of Eli'hu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an E'phraimite.

rsv@1Samuel:1:3 @ Now this man used to go up year by year from his city to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts at Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were priests of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:4 @ On the day when Elka'nah sacrificed, he would give portions to Penin'nah his wife and to all her sons and daughters;

rsv@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her rival used to provoke her sorely, to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.

rsv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it went on year by year; as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat.

rsv@1Samuel:1:8 @ And Elka'nah, her husband, said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?"

rsv@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy maidservant, and remember me, and not forget thy maidservant, but wilt give to thy maidservant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall touch his head."

rsv@1Samuel:1:15 @ But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman sorely troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:1:20 @ and in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, "I have asked him of the LORD."

rsv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "As soon as the child is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear in the presence of the LORD, and abide there for ever."

rsv@1Samuel:1:23 @ Elka'nah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only, may the LORD establish his word." So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him.

rsv@1Samuel:2:1 @ Hannah also prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in the LORD. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in thy salvation.

rsv@1Samuel:2:3 @ Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

rsv@1Samuel:2:7 @ The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he brings low, he also exalts.

rsv@1Samuel:2:12 @ Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they had no regard for the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:2:14 @ and he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. So they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

rsv@1Samuel:2:20 @ Then Eli would bless Elka'nah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you children by this woman for the loan which she lent to the LORD"; so then they would return to their home.

rsv@1Samuel:2:21 @ And the LORD visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew in the presence of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

rsv@1Samuel:2:24 @ No, my sons; it is no good report that I hear the people of the LORD spreading abroad.

rsv@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why then look with greedy eye at my sacrifices and my offerings which I commanded, and honor your sons above me by fattening yourselves upon the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?'

rsv@1Samuel:2:31 @ Behold, the days are coming, when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your house.

rsv@1Samuel:2:34 @ And this which shall befall your two sons, Hophni and Phin'ehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die on the same day.

rsv@1Samuel:3:2 @ At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place;

rsv@1Samuel:3:5 @ and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down.

rsv@1Samuel:3:6 @ And the LORD called again, "Samuel!" And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, my son; lie down again."

rsv@1Samuel:3:9 @ Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, `Speak, LORD, for thy servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

rsv@1Samuel:3:13 @ And I tell him that I am about to punish his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them.

rsv@1Samuel:3:16 @ But Eli called Samuel and said, "Samuel, my son." And he said, "Here I am."

rsv@1Samuel:3:17 @ And Eli said, "What was it that he told you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and more also, if you hide anything from me of all that he told you."

rsv@1Samuel:3:18 @ So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, "It is the LORD; let him do what seems good to him."

rsv@1Samuel:4:4 @ So the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who is enthroned on the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

rsv@1Samuel:4:5 @ When the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel gave a mighty shout, so that the earth resounded.

rsv@1Samuel:4:8 @ Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who smote the Egyptians with every sort of plague in the wilderness.

rsv@1Samuel:4:10 @ So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled, every man to his home; and there was a very great slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

rsv@1Samuel:4:11 @ And the ark of God was captured; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phin'ehas, were slain.

rsv@1Samuel:4:14 @ When Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, "What is this uproar?" Then the man hastened and came and told Eli.

rsv@1Samuel:4:15 @ Now Eli was ninety-eight years old and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.

rsv@1Samuel:4:16 @ And the man said to Eli, "I am he who has come from the battle; I fled from the battle today." And he said, "How did it go, my son?"

rsv@1Samuel:4:17 @ He who brought the tidings answered and said, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has also been a great slaughter among the people; your two sons also, Hophni and Phin'ehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured."

rsv@1Samuel:4:20 @ And about the time of her death the women attending her said to her, "Fear not, for you have borne a son." But she did not answer or give heed.

rsv@1Samuel:5:3 @ And when the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, behold, Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and put him back in his place.

rsv@1Samuel:5:8 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" They answered, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath." So they brought the ark of the God of Israel there.

rsv@1Samuel:5:9 @ But after they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city, causing a very great panic, and he afflicted the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out upon them.

rsv@1Samuel:5:10 @ So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. But when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, "They have brought around to us the ark of the God of Israel to slay us and our people."

rsv@1Samuel:6:5 @ So you must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land, and give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you and your gods and your land.

rsv@1Samuel:6:10 @ The men did so, and took two milch cows and yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

rsv@1Samuel:6:18 @ also the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and unwalled villages. The great stone, beside which they set down the ark of the LORD, is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-she'mesh.

rsv@1Samuel:6:19 @ And he slew some of the men of Beth-she'mesh, because they looked into the ark of the LORD; he slew seventy men of them, and the people mourned because the LORD had made a great slaughter among the people.

rsv@1Samuel:6:21 @ So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kir'iath-je'arim, saying, "The Philistines have returned the ark of the LORD. Come down and take it up to you."

rsv@1Samuel:7:1 @ And the men of Kir'iath-je'arim came and took up the ark of the LORD, and brought it to the house of Abin'adab on the hill; and they consecrated his son, Elea'zar, to have charge of the ark of the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:7:2 @ From the day that the ark was lodged at Kir'iath-je'arim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:7:4 @ So Israel put away the Ba'als and the Ash'taroth, and they served the LORD only.

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

rsv@1Samuel:7:9 @ So Samuel took a sucking lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD; and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

rsv@1Samuel:7:13 @ So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

rsv@1Samuel:7:14 @ The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel rescued their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.

rsv@1Samuel:7:17 @ Then he would come back to Ramah, for his home was there, and there also he administered justice to Israel. And he built there an altar to the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:8:1 @ When Samuel became old, he made his sons judges over Israel.

rsv@1Samuel:8:2 @ The name of his first-born son was Jo'el, and the name of his second, Abi'jah; they were judges in Beer-sheba.

rsv@1Samuel:8:5 @ and said to him, "Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint for us a king to govern us like all the nations."

rsv@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the deeds which they have done to me, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you.

rsv@1Samuel:8:9 @ Now then, hearken to their voice; only, you shall solemnly warn them, and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them."

rsv@1Samuel:8:10 @ So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking a king from him.

rsv@1Samuel:8:11 @ He said, "These will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and to run before his chariots;

rsv@1Samuel:8:12 @ and he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.

rsv@1Samuel:8:20 @ that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles."

rsv@1Samuel:9:1 @ There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abi'el, son of Zeror, son of Beco'rath, son of Aphi'ah, a Benjaminite, a man of wealth;

rsv@1Samuel:9:2 @ and he had a son whose name was Saul, a handsome young man. There was not a man among the people of Israel more handsome than he; from his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.

rsv@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now the asses of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. So Kish said to Saul his son, "Take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the asses."

rsv@1Samuel:9:10 @ And Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

rsv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you enter the city, you will find him, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat till he comes, since he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those eat who are invited. Now go up, for you will meet him immediately."

rsv@1Samuel:9:14 @ So they went up to the city. As they were entering the city, they saw Samuel coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.

rsv@1Samuel:9:22 @ Then Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall and gave them a place at the head of those who had been invited, who were about thirty persons.

rsv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the leg and the upper portion and set them before Saul; and Samuel said, "See, what was kept is set before you. Eat; because it was kept for you until the hour appointed, that you might eat with the guests." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

rsv@1Samuel:9:26 @ Then at the break of dawn Samuel called to Saul upon the roof, "Up, that I may send you on your way." So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went out into the street.

rsv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you depart from me today you will meet two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah, and they will say to you, `The asses which you went to seek are found, and now your father has ceased to care about the asses and is anxious about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

rsv@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to Gib'e-ath-elo'him, where there is a garrison of the Philistines; and there, as you come to the city, you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, prophesying.

rsv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And when all who knew him before saw how he prophesied with the prophets, the people said to one another, "What has come over the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:12 @ And a man of the place answered, "And who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:10:21 @ He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the family of the Matrites was taken by lot; finally he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken by lot. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

rsv@1Samuel:10:22 @ So they inquired again of the LORD, "Did the man come hither?" and the LORD said, "Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage."

rsv@1Samuel:10:26 @ Saul also went to his home at Gib'e-ah, and with him went men of valor whose hearts God had touched.

rsv@1Samuel:10:27 @ But some worthless fellows said, "How can this man save us?" And they despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his peace.

rsv@1Samuel:11:5 @ Now Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen; and Saul said, "What ails the people, that they are weeping?" So they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

rsv@1Samuel:11:7 @ He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not come out after Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen!" Then the dread of the LORD fell upon the people, and they came out as one man.

rsv@1Samuel:11:11 @ And on the morrow Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and cut down the Ammonites until the heat of the day; and those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

rsv@1Samuel:11:15 @ So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

rsv@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now, behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray, and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth until this day.

rsv@1Samuel:12:9 @ But they forgot the LORD their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sis'era, commander of the army of Jabin king of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.

rsv@1Samuel:12:18 @ So Samuel called upon the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

rsv@1Samuel:13:3 @ Jonathan defeated the garrison of the Philistines which was at Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."

rsv@1Samuel:13:4 @ And all Israel heard it said that Saul had defeated the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines. And the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.

rsv@1Samuel:13:9 @ So Saul said, "Bring the burnt offering here to me, and the peace offerings." And he offered the burnt offering.

rsv@1Samuel:13:10 @ As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him and salute him.

rsv@1Samuel:13:12 @ I said, `Now the Philistines will come down upon me at Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of the LORD'; so I forced myself, and offered the burnt offering."

rsv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart; and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

rsv@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

rsv@1Samuel:13:22 @ So on the day of the battle there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.

rsv@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

rsv@1Samuel:14:1 @ One day Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistine garrison on yonder side." But he did not tell his father.

rsv@1Samuel:14:3 @ and Ahi'jah the son of Ahi'tub, Ich'abod's brother, son of Phin'ehas, son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.

rsv@1Samuel:14:4 @ In the pass, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistine garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

rsv@1Samuel:14:5 @ The one crag rose on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

rsv@1Samuel:14:6 @ And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us; for nothing can hinder the LORD from saving by many or by few."

rsv@1Samuel:14:7 @ And his armor-bearer said to him, "Do all that your mind inclines to; behold, I am with you, as is your mind so is mine."

rsv@1Samuel:14:11 @ So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, "Look, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid themselves."

rsv@1Samuel:14:12 @ And the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you a thing." And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Come up after me; for the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel."

rsv@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was a panic in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and even the raiders trembled; the earth quaked; and it became a very great panic.

rsv@1Samuel:14:21 @ Now the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines before that time and who had gone up with them into the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

rsv@1Samuel:14:23 @ So the LORD delivered Israel that day; and the battle passed beyond Beth-a'ven.

rsv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul laid an oath on the people, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

rsv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; so he put forth the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes became bright.

rsv@1Samuel:14:34 @ And Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, `Let every man bring his ox or his sheep, and slay 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 slew them there.

rsv@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as the LORD lives who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

rsv@1Samuel:14:40 @ Then he said to all Israel, "You shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side." And the people said to Saul, "Do what seems good to you."

rsv@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said, "O LORD God of Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O LORD, God of Israel, give Urim; but if this guilt is in thy people Israel, give Thummim." And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.

rsv@1Samuel:14:42 @ Then Saul said, "Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan." And Jonathan was taken.

rsv@1Samuel:14:44 @ And Saul said, "God do so to me and more also; you shall surely die, Jonathan."

rsv@1Samuel:14:45 @ Then the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day." So the people ransomed Jonathan, that he did not die.

rsv@1Samuel:14:49 @ Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Mal'chishu'a; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

rsv@1Samuel:14:50 @ and the name of Saul's wife was Ahin'o-am the daughter of Ahim'a-az. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle;

rsv@1Samuel:14:51 @ Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abi'el.

rsv@1Samuel:15:4 @ So Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Tela'im, two hundred thousand men on foot, and ten thousand men of Judah.

rsv@1Samuel:15:6 @ And Saul said to the Ken'ites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amal'ekites, lest I destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the people of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Ken'ites departed from among the Amal'ekites.

rsv@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king."

rsv@1Samuel:15:29 @ And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent."

rsv@1Samuel:15:31 @ So Samuel turned back after Saul; and Saul worshiped the LORD.

rsv@1Samuel:15:33 @ And Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

rsv@1Samuel:16:1 @ The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons."

rsv@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, "Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD; consecrate yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice." And he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

rsv@1Samuel:16:10 @ And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

rsv@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your sons here?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he comes here."

rsv@1Samuel:16:12 @ And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

rsv@1Samuel:16:17 @ So Saul said to his servants, "Provide for me a man who can play well, and bring him to me."

rsv@1Samuel:16:18 @ One of the young men answered, "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilful in playing, a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence; and the LORD is with him."

rsv@1Samuel:16:19 @ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."

rsv@1Samuel:16:20 @ And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a skin of wine and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.

rsv@1Samuel:16:23 @ And whenever the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand; so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

rsv@1Samuel:17:1 @ Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle; and they were gathered at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Aze'kah, in E'phes-dam'mim.

rsv@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of an Eph'rathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. In the days of Saul the man was already old and advanced in years.

rsv@1Samuel:17:13 @ The three eldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eli'ab the first-born, and next to him Abin'adab, and the third Shammah.

rsv@1Samuel:17:17 @ And Jesse said to David his son, "Take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;

rsv@1Samuel:17:18 @ also take these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand. See how your brothers fare, and bring some token from them."

rsv@1Samuel:17:27 @ And the people answered him in the same way, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."

rsv@1Samuel:17:50 @ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; there was no sword in the hand of David.

rsv@1Samuel:17:52 @ And the men of Israel and Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron, so that the wounded Philistines fell on the way from Sha-ara'im as far as Gath and Ekron.

rsv@1Samuel:17:55 @ When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell."

rsv@1Samuel:17:56 @ And the king said, "Inquire whose son the stripling is."

rsv@1Samuel:17:58 @ And Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" And David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."

rsv@1Samuel:18:1 @ When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:3 @ Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:18:5 @ And David went out and was successful wherever Saul sent him; so that Saul set him over the men of war. And this was good in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

rsv@1Samuel:18:6 @ As they were coming home, when David returned from slaying the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with timbrels, with songs of joy, and with instruments of music.

rsv@1Samuel:18:13 @ So Saul removed him from his presence, and made him a commander of a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

rsv@1Samuel:18:18 @ And David said to Saul, "Who am I, and who are my kinsfolk, my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"

rsv@1Samuel:18:21 @ Saul thought, "Let me give her to him, that she may be a snare for him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall now be my son-in-law."

rsv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David in private and say, `Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you; now then become the king's son-in-law.'"

rsv@1Samuel:18:23 @ And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man and of no repute?"

rsv@1Samuel:18:24 @ And the servants of Saul told him, "Thus and so did David speak."

rsv@1Samuel:18:26 @ And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired,

rsv@1Samuel:18:27 @ David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines; and David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.

rsv@1Samuel:18:29 @ Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.

rsv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines came out to battle, and as often as they came out David had more success than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.

rsv@1Samuel:19:1 @ And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.

rsv@1Samuel:19:8 @ And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them, so that they fled before him.

rsv@1Samuel:19:10 @ And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped.

rsv@1Samuel:19:12 @ So Michal let David down through the window; and he fled away and escaped.

rsv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, `Let me go; why should I kill you?'"

rsv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:21 @ When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

rsv@1Samuel:19:23 @ And he went from there to Nai'oth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied, until he came to Nai'oth in Ramah.

rsv@1Samuel:19:24 @ And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel, and lay naked all that day and all that night. Hence it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

rsv@1Samuel:20:2 @ And he said to him, "Far from it! You shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me; and why should my father hide this from me? It is not so."

rsv@1Samuel:20:3 @ But David replied, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he thinks, `Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

rsv@1Samuel:20:11 @ And Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So they both went out into the field.

rsv@1Samuel:20:12 @ And Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded my father, about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if he is well disposed toward David, shall I not then send and disclose it to you?

rsv@1Samuel:20:13 @ But should it please my father to do you harm, the LORD do so to Jonathan, and more also, if I do not disclose it to you, and send you away, that you may go in safety. May the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.

rsv@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan made David swear again by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

rsv@1Samuel:20:24 @ So David hid himself in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.

rsv@1Samuel:20:26 @ Yet Saul did not say anything that day; for he thought, "Something has befallen him; he is not clean, surely he is not clean."

rsv@1Samuel:20:27 @ But on the second day, the morrow after the new moon, David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has not the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"

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:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

rsv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the earth, neither you nor your kingdom shall be established. Therefore send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die."

rsv@1Samuel:20:33 @ But Saul cast his spear at him to smite him; so Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

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:20:41 @ And as soon as the lad had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times; and they kissed one another, and wept with one another, until David recovered himself.

rsv@1Samuel:21:6 @ So the priest gave him the holy bread; for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the LORD, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away.

rsv@1Samuel:21:13 @ So he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and made marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle run down his beard.

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

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:22:12 @ And Saul said, "Hear now, son of Ahi'tub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."

rsv@1Samuel:22:13 @ And Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, so that he has risen against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?"

rsv@1Samuel:22:14 @ Then Ahim'elech answered the king, "And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?

rsv@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said to the guard who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me."

rsv@1Samuel:22:18 @ Then the king said to Do'eg, "You turn and fall upon the priests." And Do'eg the E'domite turned and fell upon the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod.

rsv@1Samuel:22:20 @ But one of the sons of Ahim'elech the son of Ahi'tub, named Abi'athar, escaped and fled after David.

rsv@1Samuel:22:22 @ And David said to Abi'athar, "I knew on that day, when Do'eg the E'domite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house.

rsv@1Samuel:23:28 @ So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape.

rsv@1Samuel:24:7 @ So David persuaded his men with these words, and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave, and went upon his way.

rsv@1Samuel:24:8 @ Afterward David also arose, and went out of the cave, and called after Saul, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.

rsv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Lo, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave; and some bade me kill you, but I spared you. I said, `I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.'

rsv@1Samuel:24:11 @ See, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for by the fact that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.

rsv@1Samuel:24:16 @ When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

rsv@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe? So may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

rsv@1Samuel:25:5 @ So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

rsv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes; for we come on a feast day. Pray, give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"

rsv@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are breaking away from their masters.

rsv@1Samuel:25:12 @ So David's young men turned away, and came back and told him all this.

rsv@1Samuel:25:13 @ And David said to his men, "Every man gird on his sword!" And every man of them girded on his sword; David also girded on his sword; and about four hundred men went up after David, while two hundred remained with the baggage.

rsv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore know this and consider what you should do; for evil is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is so ill-natured that one cannot speak to him."

rsv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I guarded all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

rsv@1Samuel:25:22 @ God do so to David and more also, if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him."

rsv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Let not my lord regard this ill-natured fellow, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I your handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.

rsv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now then, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, seeing the LORD has restrained you from bloodguilt, and from taking vengeance with your own hand, now then let your enemies and those who seek to do evil to my lord be as Nabal.

rsv@1Samuel:25:28 @ Pray forgive the trespass of your handmaid; for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.

rsv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For as surely as the LORD the God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had made haste and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male."

rsv@1Samuel:25:36 @ And Ab'igail came to Nabal; and, lo, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she told him nothing at all until the morning light.

rsv@1Samuel:25:43 @ David also took Ahin'o-am of Jezreel; and both of them became his wives.

rsv@1Samuel:25:44 @ Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of La'ish, who was of Gallim.

rsv@1Samuel:26:2 @ So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, with three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

rsv@1Samuel:26:5 @ Then David rose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; Saul was lying within the encampment, while the army was encamped around him.

rsv@1Samuel:26:6 @ Then David said to Ahim'elech the Hittite, and to Jo'ab's brother Abi'shai the son of Zeru'iah, "Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul?" And Abi'shai said, "I will go down with you."

rsv@1Samuel:26:7 @ So David and Abi'shai went to the army by night; and there lay Saul sleeping within the encampment, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the army lay around him.

rsv@1Samuel:26:12 @ So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul's head; and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen upon them.

rsv@1Samuel:26:14 @ and David called to the army, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner answered, "Who are you that calls to the king?"

rsv@1Samuel:26:17 @ Saul recognized David's voice, and said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And David said, "It is my voice, my lord, O king."

rsv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have done wrong; return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly."

rsv@1Samuel:26:24 @ Behold, as your life was precious this day in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the LORD, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation."

rsv@1Samuel:26:25 @ Then Saul said to David, "Blessed be you, my son David! You will do many things and will succeed in them." So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.

rsv@1Samuel:27:2 @ So David arose and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to A'chish the son of Ma'och, king of Gath.

rsv@1Samuel:27:4 @ And when it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath, he sought for him no more.

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@1Samuel:27:11 @ And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, thinking, "Lest they should tell about us, and say, `So David has done.'" Such was his custom all the while he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

rsv@1Samuel:28:8 @ So Saul disguised himself and put on other garments, and went, he and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Divine for me by a spirit, and bring up for me whomever I shall name to you."

rsv@1Samuel:28:19 @ Moreover the LORD will give Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me; the LORD will give the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines."

rsv@1Samuel:28:22 @ Now therefore, you also hearken to your handmaid; let me set a morsel of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way."

rsv@1Samuel:28:23 @ He refused, and said, "I will not eat." But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he hearkened to their words. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

rsv@1Samuel:29:7 @ So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

rsv@1Samuel:29:10 @ Now then rise early in the morning with the servants of your lord who came with you; and start early in the morning, and depart as soon as you have light."

rsv@1Samuel:29:11 @ So David set out with his men early in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

rsv@1Samuel:30:3 @ And when David and his men came to the city, they found it burned with fire, and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.

rsv@1Samuel:30:5 @ David's two wives also had been taken captive, Ahin'o-am of Jezreel, and Ab'igail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.

rsv@1Samuel:30:7 @ And David said to Abi'athar the priest, the son of Ahim'elech, "Bring me the ephod." So Abi'athar brought the ephod to David.

rsv@1Samuel:30:9 @ So David set out, and the six hundred men who were with him, and they came to the brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind.

rsv@1Samuel:30:10 @ But David went on with the pursuit, he and four hundred men; two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor.

rsv@1Samuel:30:19 @ Nothing was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken; David brought back all.

rsv@1Samuel:30:20 @ David also captured all the flocks and herds; and the people drove those cattle before him, and said, "This is David's spoil."

rsv@1Samuel:30:21 @ Then David came to the two hundred men, who had been too exhausted to follow David, and who had been left at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him; and when David drew near to the people he saluted them.

rsv@1Samuel:30:23 @ But David said, "You shall not do so, my brothers, with what the LORD has given us; he has preserved us and given into our hand the band that came against us.

rsv@1Samuel:31:6 @ Thus Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.

rsv@1Samuel:31:7 @ And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those beyond the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

rsv@1Samuel:31:8 @ On the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilbo'a.

rsv@1Samuel:31:12 @ all the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh and burnt them there.

rsv@2Samuel:1:4 @ And David said to him, "How did it go? Tell me." And he answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are also dead."

rsv@2Samuel:1:5 @ Then David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"

rsv@2Samuel:1:10 @ So I stood beside him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen; and I took the crown which was on his head and the armlet which was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord."

rsv@2Samuel:1:11 @ Then David took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and so did all the men who were with him;

rsv@2Samuel:1:12 @ and they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son and for the people of the LORD and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

rsv@2Samuel:1:13 @ And David said to the young man who told him, "Where do you come from?" And he answered, "I am the son of a sojourner, an Amal'ekite."

rsv@2Samuel:1:15 @ Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go, fall upon him." And he smote him so that he died.

rsv@2Samuel:1:17 @ And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son,

rsv@2Samuel:2:2 @ So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahin'o-am of Jezreel, and Ab'igail the widow of Nabal of Carmel.

rsv@2Samuel:2:8 @ Now Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ish-bo'sheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahana'im;

rsv@2Samuel:2:13 @ And Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah, and the servants of David, went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.

rsv@2Samuel:2:15 @ Then they arose and passed over by number, twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bo'sheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.

rsv@2Samuel:2:16 @ And each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his opponent's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Hel'kath-hazzu'rim, which is at Gibeon.

rsv@2Samuel:2:18 @ And the three sons of Zeru'iah were there, Jo'ab, Abi'shai, and As'ahel. Now As'ahel was as swift of foot as a wild gazelle;

rsv@2Samuel:2:23 @ But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner smote him in the belly with the butt of his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he fell there, and died where he was. And all who came to the place where As'ahel had fallen and died, stood still.

rsv@2Samuel:2:28 @ So Jo'ab blew the trumpet; and all the men stopped, and pursued Israel no more, nor did they fight any more.

rsv@2Samuel:3:2 @ And sons were born to David at Hebron: his first-born was Amnon, of Ahin'o-am of Jezreel;

rsv@2Samuel:3:21 @ And Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your heart desires." So David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.

rsv@2Samuel:3:23 @ When Jo'ab and all the army that was with him came, it was told Jo'ab, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has let him go, and he has gone in peace."

rsv@2Samuel:3:35 @ Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me and more also, if I taste bread or anything else till the sun goes down!"

rsv@2Samuel:3:37 @ So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the king's will to slay Abner the son of Ner.

rsv@2Samuel:3:39 @ And I am this day weak, though anointed king; these men the sons of Zeru'iah are too hard for me. The LORD requite the evildoer according to his wickedness!"

rsv@2Samuel:4:1 @ When Ish-bo'sheth, Saul's son, heard that Abner had died at Hebron, his courage failed, and all Israel was dismayed.

rsv@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

rsv@2Samuel:12:3 @ but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. And he brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his morsel, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him.

rsv@2Samuel:12:8 @ and I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if this were too little, I would add to you as much more.

rsv@2Samuel:12:13 @ David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.

rsv@2Samuel:12:16 @ David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.

rsv@2Samuel:12:18 @ On the seventh day the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us; how then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm."

rsv@2Samuel:12:24 @ Then David comforted his wife, Bathshe'ba, and went in to her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And the LORD loved him,

rsv@2Samuel:12:25 @ and sent a message by Nathan the prophet; so he called his name Jedidi'ah, because of the LORD.

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

rsv@2Samuel:13:1 @ Now Ab'salom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and after a time Amnon, David's son, loved her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:2 @ And Amnon was so tormented that he made himself ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and it seemed impossible to Amnon to do anything to her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:3 @ But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jon'adab, the son of Shim'e-ah, David's brother; and Jon'adab was a very crafty man.

rsv@2Samuel:13:4 @ And he said to him, "O son of the king, why are you so haggard morning after morning? Will you not tell me?" Amnon said to him, "I love Tamar, my brother Ab'salom's sister."

rsv@2Samuel:13:6 @ So Amnon lay down, and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Pray let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

rsv@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, where he was lying down. And she took dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

rsv@2Samuel:13:9 @ And she took the pan and emptied it out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, "Send out every one from me." So every one went out from him.

rsv@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone."

rsv@2Samuel:13:18 @ Now she was wearing a long robe with sleeves; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king clad of old. So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her.

rsv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And her brother Ab'salom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Now hold your peace, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart." So Tamar dwelt, a desolate woman, in her brother Ab'salom's house.

rsv@2Samuel:13:23 @ After two full years Ab'salom had sheepshearers at Ba'al-ha'zor, which is near E'phraim, and Ab'salom invited all the king's sons.

rsv@2Samuel:13:25 @ But the king said to Ab'salom, "No, my son, let us not all go, lest we be burdensome to you." He pressed him, but he would not go but gave him his blessing.

rsv@2Samuel:13:27 @ But Ab'salom pressed him until he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

rsv@2Samuel:13:29 @ So the servants of Ab'salom did to Amnon as Ab'salom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each mounted his mule and fled.

rsv@2Samuel:13:30 @ While they were on the way, tidings came to David, "Ab'salom has slain all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

rsv@2Samuel:13:32 @ But Jon'adab the son of Shim'e-ah, David's brother, said, "Let not my lord suppose that they have killed all the young men the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead, for by the command of Ab'salom this has been determined from the day he forced his sister Tamar.

rsv@2Samuel:13:33 @ Now therefore let not my lord the king so take it to heart as to suppose that all the king's sons are dead; for Amnon alone is dead."

rsv@2Samuel:13:35 @ And Jon'adab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons have come; as your servant said, so it has come about."

rsv@2Samuel:13:36 @ And as soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept; and the king also and all his servants wept very bitterly.

rsv@2Samuel:13:37 @ But Ab'salom fled, and went to Talmai the son of Ammi'hud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son day after day.

rsv@2Samuel:13:38 @ So Ab'salom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

rsv@2Samuel:14:1 @ Now Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah perceived that the king's heart went out to Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:14:3 @ and go to the king, and speak thus to him." So Jo'ab put the words in her mouth.

rsv@2Samuel:14:6 @ And your handmaid had two sons, and they quarreled with one another in the field; there was no one to part them, and one struck the other and killed him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen against your handmaid, and they say, `Give up the man who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew'; and so they would destroy the heir also. Thus they would quench my coal which is left, and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant upon the face of the earth."

rsv@2Samuel:14:11 @ Then she said, "Pray let the king invoke the LORD your God, that the avenger of blood slay no more, and my son be not destroyed." He said, "As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

rsv@2Samuel:14:16 @ For the king will hear, and deliver his servant from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from the heritage of God.'

rsv@2Samuel:14:23 @ So Jo'ab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Ab'salom to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:14:24 @ And the king said, "Let him dwell apart in his own house; he is not to come into my presence." So Ab'salom dwelt apart in his own house, and did not come into the king's presence.

rsv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one so much to be praised for his beauty as Ab'salom; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

rsv@2Samuel:14:27 @ There were born to Ab'salom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a beautiful woman.

rsv@2Samuel:14:28 @ So Ab'salom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, without coming into the king's presence.

rsv@2Samuel:14:30 @ Then he said to his servants, "See, Jo'ab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." So Ab'salom's servants set the field on fire.

rsv@2Samuel:14:33 @ Then Jo'ab went to the king, and told him; and he summoned Ab'salom. So he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:15:6 @ Thus Ab'salom did to all of Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Ab'salom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:15:9 @ The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.

rsv@2Samuel:15:10 @ But Ab'salom sent secret messengers throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then say, `Ab'salom is king at Hebron!'"

rsv@2Samuel:15:16 @ So the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten concubines to keep the house.

rsv@2Samuel:15:19 @ Then the king said to It'tai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile from your home.

rsv@2Samuel:15:21 @ But It'tai answered the king, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, there also will your servant be."

rsv@2Samuel:15:22 @ And David said to It'tai, "Go then, pass on." So It'tai the Gittite passed on, with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

rsv@2Samuel:15:24 @ And Abi'athar came up, and lo, Zadok came also, with all the Levites, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God, until the people had all passed out of the city.

rsv@2Samuel:15:27 @ The king also said to Zadok the priest, "Look, go back to the city in peace, you and Abi'athar, with your two sons, Ahim'a-az your son, and Jonathan the son of Abi'athar.

rsv@2Samuel:15:29 @ So Zadok and Abi'athar carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem; and they remained there.

rsv@2Samuel:15:34 @ But if you return to the city, and say to Ab'salom, `I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so now I will be your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahith'ophel.

rsv@2Samuel:15:35 @ Are not Zadok and Abi'athar the priests with you there? So whatever you hear from the king's house, tell it to Zadok and Abi'athar the priests.

rsv@2Samuel:15:36 @ Behold, their two sons are with them there, Ahim'a-az, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abi'athar's son; and by them you shall send to me everything you hear."

rsv@2Samuel:15:37 @ So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, just as Ab'salom was entering Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:16:3 @ And the king said, "And where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he remains in Jerusalem; for he said, `Today the house of Israel will give me back the kingdom of my father.'"

rsv@2Samuel:16:5 @ When King David came to Bahu'rim, there came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'e-i, the son of Gera; and as he came he cursed continually.

rsv@2Samuel:16:8 @ The LORD has avenged upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Ab'salom. See, your ruin is on you; for you are a man of blood."

rsv@2Samuel:16:9 @ Then Abi'shai the son of Zeru'iah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and take off his head."

rsv@2Samuel:16:10 @ But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeru'iah? If he is cursing because the LORD has said to him, `Curse David,' who then shall say, `Why have you done so?'"

rsv@2Samuel:16:11 @ And David said to Abi'shai and to all his servants, "Behold, my own son seeks my life; how much more now may this Benjaminite! Let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has bidden him.

rsv@2Samuel:16:13 @ So David and his men went on the road, while Shim'e-i went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him and flung dust.

rsv@2Samuel:16:19 @ And again, whom should I serve? Should it not be his son? As I have served your father, so I will serve you."

rsv@2Samuel:16:22 @ So they pitched a tent for Ab'salom upon the roof; and Ab'salom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

rsv@2Samuel:16:23 @ Now in those days the counsel which Ahith'ophel gave was as if one consulted the oracle of God; so was all the counsel of Ahith'ophel esteemed, both by David and by Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:5 @ Then Ab'salom said, "Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say."

rsv@2Samuel:17:9 @ Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits, or in some other place. And when some of the people fall at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, `There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Ab'salom.'

rsv@2Samuel:17:11 @ But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beer-sheba, as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.

rsv@2Samuel:17:12 @ So we shall come upon him in some place where he is to be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and all the men with him not one will be left.

rsv@2Samuel:17:14 @ And Ab'salom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahith'ophel." For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahith'ophel, so that the LORD might bring evil upon Ab'salom.

rsv@2Samuel:17:15 @ Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abi'athar the priests, "Thus and so did Ahith'ophel counsel Ab'salom and the elders of Israel; and thus and so have I counseled.

rsv@2Samuel:17:18 @ But a lad saw them, and told Ab'salom; so both of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahu'rim, who had a well in his courtyard; and they went down into it.

rsv@2Samuel:17:20 @ When Ab'salom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahim'a-az and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have gone over the brook of water." And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:17:21 @ After they had gone, the men came up out of the well, and went and told King David. They said to David, "Arise, and go quickly over the water; for thus and so has Ahith'ophel counseled against you."

rsv@2Samuel:17:25 @ Now Ab'salom had set Ama'sa over the army instead of Jo'ab. Ama'sa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ish'maelite, who had married Ab'igal the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeru'iah, Jo'ab's mother.

rsv@2Samuel:17:27 @ When David came to Mahana'im, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir the son of Am'miel from Lo-debar, and Barzil'lai the Gileadite from Ro'gelim,

rsv@2Samuel:18:2 @ And David sent forth the army, one third under the command of Jo'ab, one third under the command of Abi'shai the son of Zeru'iah, Jo'ab's brother, and one third under the command of It'tai the Gittite. And the king said to the men, "I myself will also go out with you."

rsv@2Samuel:18:4 @ The king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood at the side of the gate, while all the army marched out by hundreds and by thousands.

rsv@2Samuel:18:6 @ So the army went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was fought in the forest of E'phraim.

rsv@2Samuel:18:12 @ But the man said to Jo'ab, "Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abi'shai and It'tai, `For my sake protect the young man Ab'salom.'

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@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then said Ahi'ma-az the son of Zadok, "Let me run, and carry tidings to the king that the LORD has delivered him from the power of his enemies."

rsv@2Samuel:18:20 @ And Jo'ab said to him, "You are not to carry tidings today; you may carry tidings another day, but today you shall carry no tidings, because the king's son is dead."

rsv@2Samuel:18:22 @ Then Ahi'ma-az the son of Zadok said again to Jo'ab, "Come what may, let me also run after the Cushite." And Jo'ab said, "Why will you run, my son, seeing that you will have no reward for the tidings?"

rsv@2Samuel:18:23 @ "Come what may," he said, "I will run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahi'ma-az ran by the way of the plain, and outran the Cushite.

rsv@2Samuel:18:26 @ And the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gate and said, "See, another man running alone!" The king said, "He also brings tidings."

rsv@2Samuel:18:27 @ And the watchman said, "I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahi'ma-az the son of Zadok." And the king said, "He is a good man, and comes with good tidings."

rsv@2Samuel:18:30 @ And the king said, "Turn aside, and stand here." So he turned aside, and stood still.

rsv@2Samuel:18:33 @ And the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said, "O my son Ab'salom, my son, my son Ab'salom! Would I had died instead of you, O Ab'salom, my son, my son!"

rsv@2Samuel:19:2 @ So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people; for the people heard that day, "The king is grieving for his son."

rsv@2Samuel:19:4 @ The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, "O my son Ab'salom, O Ab'salom, my son, my son!"

rsv@2Samuel:19:5 @ Then Jo'ab came into the house to the king, and said, "You have today covered with shame the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives and your concubines,

rsv@2Samuel:19:13 @ And say to Ama'sa, `Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not commander of my army henceforth in place of Jo'ab.'"

rsv@2Samuel:19:14 @ And he swayed the heart of all the men of Judah as one man; so that they sent word to the king, "Return, both you and all your servants."

rsv@2Samuel:19:15 @ So the king came back to the Jordan; and Judah came to Gilgal to meet the king and to bring the king over the Jordan.

rsv@2Samuel:19:16 @ And Shim'e-i the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, from Bahu'rim, made haste to come down with the men of Judah to meet King David;

rsv@2Samuel:19:17 @ and with him were a thousand men from Benjamin. And Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, with his fifteen sons and his twenty servants, rushed down to the Jordan before the king,

rsv@2Samuel:19:18 @ and they crossed the ford to bring over the king's household, and to do his pleasure. And Shim'e-i the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was about to cross the Jordan,

rsv@2Samuel:19:21 @ Abi'shai the son of Zeru'iah answered, "Shall not Shim'e-i be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?"

rsv@2Samuel:19:24 @ And Mephib'osheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back in safety.

rsv@2Samuel:19:40 @ The king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; all the people of Judah, and also half the people of Israel, brought the king on his way.

rsv@2Samuel:19:43 @ And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, "We have ten shares in the king, and in David also we have more than you. Why then did you despise us?

rsv@2Samuel:20:1 @ Now there happened to be there a worthless fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to his tents, O Israel!"

rsv@2Samuel:20:2 @ So all the men of Israel withdrew from David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah followed their king steadfastly from the Jordan to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Samuel:20:3 @ And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten concubines whom he had left to care for the house, and put them in a house under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them.

rsv@2Samuel:20:5 @ So Ama'sa went to summon Judah; but he delayed beyond the set time which had been appointed him.

rsv@2Samuel:20:6 @ And David said to Abi'shai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Ab'salom; take your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and cause us trouble."

rsv@2Samuel:20:7 @ And there went out after Abi'shai, Jo'ab and the Cher'ethites and the Pel'ethites, and all the mighty men; they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

rsv@2Samuel:20:8 @ When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Ama'sa came to meet them. Now Jo'ab was wearing a soldier's garment, and over it was a girdle with a sword in its sheath fastened upon his loins, and as he went forward it fell out.

rsv@2Samuel:20:10 @ But Ama'sa did not observe the sword which was in Jo'ab's hand; so Jo'ab struck him with it in the body, and shed his bowels to the ground, without striking a second blow; and he died. Then Jo'ab and Abi'shai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

rsv@2Samuel:20:13 @ When he was taken out of the highway, all the people went on after Jo'ab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

rsv@2Samuel:20:18 @ Then she said, "They were wont to say in old time, `Let them but ask counsel at Abel'; and so they settled a matter.

rsv@2Samuel:20:21 @ That is not true. But a man of the hill country of E'phraim, called Sheba the son of Bichri, has lifted up his hand against King David; give up him alone, and I will withdraw from the city." And the woman said to Jo'ab, "Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall."

rsv@2Samuel:20:22 @ Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Jo'ab. So he blew the trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, every man to his home. And Jo'ab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

rsv@2Samuel:20:23 @ Now Jo'ab was in command of all the army of Israel; and Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was in command of the Cher'ethites and the Pel'ethites;

rsv@2Samuel:21:19 @ And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elha'nan the son of Ja'areor'egim, the Bethlehemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

rsv@2Samuel:23:20 @ And Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

rsv@1Kings:9:24 @ But Pharaoh's daughter went up from the city of David to her own house which Solomon had built for her; then he built the Millo.

rsv@1Kings:9:25 @ Three times a year Solomon used to offer up burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built to the LORD, burning incense before the LORD. So he finished the house.

rsv@1Kings:9:26 @ King Solomon built a fleet of ships at E'zion-ge'ber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

rsv@1Kings:9:27 @ And Hiram sent with the fleet his servants, seamen who were familiar with the sea, together with the servants of Solomon;

rsv@1Kings:9:28 @ and they went to Ophir, and brought from there gold, to the amount of four hundred and twenty talents; and they brought it to King Solomon.

rsv@1Kings:10:2 @ She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind.

rsv@1Kings:10:3 @ And Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from the king which he could not explain to her.

rsv@1Kings:10:4 @ And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

rsv@1Kings:10:10 @ Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones; never again came such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

rsv@1Kings:10:14 @ Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

rsv@1Kings:10:16 @ King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.

rsv@1Kings:10:18 @ The king also made a great ivory throne, and overlaid it with the finest gold.

rsv@1Kings:10:21 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver, it was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.

rsv@1Kings:11:5 @ For Solomon went after Ash'toreth the goddess of the Sido'nians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

rsv@1Kings:11:6 @ So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not wholly follow the LORD, as David his father had done.

rsv@1Kings:11:7 @ Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem.

rsv@1Kings:11:8 @ And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

rsv@1Kings:11:9 @ And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

rsv@1Kings:11:11 @ Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, "Since this has been your mind and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant.

rsv@1Kings:11:26 @ Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, an E'phraimite of Zer'edah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeru'ah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.

rsv@1Kings:11:27 @ And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king. Solomon built the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of David his father.

rsv@1Kings:11:28 @ The man Jerobo'am was very able, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious he gave him charge over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.

rsv@1Kings:11:31 @ And he said to Jerobo'am, "Take for yourself ten pieces; for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, `Behold, I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and will give you ten tribes

rsv@1Kings:11:43 @ And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehobo'am his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@1Kings:12:2 @ And when Jerobo'am the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was still in Egypt, whither he had fled from King Solomon), then Jerobo'am returned from Egypt.

rsv@1Kings:12:5 @ He said to them, "Depart for three days, then come again to me." So the people went away.

rsv@1Kings:12:6 @ Then King Rehobo'am took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, "How do you advise me to answer this people?"

rsv@1Kings:12:8 @ But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.

rsv@1Kings:12:12 @ So Jerobo'am and all the people came to Rehobo'am the third day, as the king said, "Come to me again the third day."

rsv@1Kings:12:15 @ So the king did not hearken to the people; for it was a turn of affairs brought about by the LORD that he might fulfil his word, which the LORD spoke by Ahi'jah the Shi'lonite to Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.

rsv@1Kings:12:16 @ And when all Israel saw that the king did not hearken to them, the people answered the king, "What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David." So Israel departed to their tents.

rsv@1Kings:12:19 @ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

rsv@1Kings:12:21 @ When Rehobo'am came to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehobo'am the son of Solomon.

rsv@1Kings:12:28 @ So the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold. And he said to the people, "You have gone up to Jerusalem long enough. Behold your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt."

rsv@1Kings:12:31 @ He also made houses on high places, and appointed priests from among all the people, who were not of the Levites.

rsv@1Kings:12:32 @ And Jerobo'am appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices upon the altar; so he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made.

rsv@1Kings:13:2 @ And the man cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "O altar, altar, thus says the LORD: `Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josi'ah by name; and he shall sacrifice upon you the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and men's bones shall be burned upon you.'"

rsv@1Kings:13:4 @ And when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar at Bethel, Jerobo'am stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Lay hold of him." And his hand, which he stretched out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.

rsv@1Kings:13:5 @ The altar also was torn down, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:13 @ The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was set apart to consecrate the most holy things, that he and his sons for ever should burn incense before the LORD, and minister to him and pronounce blessings in his name for ever.

rsv@1Chronicles:28:11 @ Then David gave Solomon his son the plan of the vestibule of the temple, and of its houses, its treasuries, its upper rooms, and its inner chambers, and of the room for the mercy seat;

rsv@1Chronicles:28:18 @ for the altar of incense made of refined gold, and its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the cherubim that spread their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:28:20 @ Then David said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and of good courage, and do it. Fear not, be not dismayed; for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

rsv@1Chronicles:28:21 @ And behold the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and with you in all the work will be every willing man who has skill for any kind of service; also the officers and all the people will be wholly at your command."

rsv@1Chronicles:29:1 @ And David the king said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is young and inexperienced, and the work is great; for the palace will not be for man but for the LORD God.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:2 @ So I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, besides great quantities of onyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones, and marble.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:6 @ Then the heads of fathers' houses made their freewill offerings, as did also the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officers over the king's work.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:9 @ Then the people rejoiced because these had given willingly, for with a whole heart they had offered freely to the LORD; David the king also rejoiced greatly.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:19 @ Grant to Solomon my son that with a whole heart he may keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, performing all, and that he may build the palace for which I have made provision."

rsv@1Chronicles:29:22 @ and they ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and they anointed him as prince for the LORD, and Zadok as priest.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:23 @ Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father; and he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:24 @ All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:25 @ And the LORD gave Solomon great repute in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:26 @ Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:28 @ Then he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:1 @ Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:2 @ Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:3 @ And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness, was there.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:5 @ Moreover the bronze altar that Bez'alel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD. And Solomon and the assembly sought the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:6 @ And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:7 @ In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you."

rsv@2Chronicles:1:8 @ And Solomon said to God, "Thou hast shown great and steadfast love to David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:10 @ Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this thy people, that is so great?"

rsv@2Chronicles:1:11 @ God answered Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may rule my people over whom I have made you king,

rsv@2Chronicles:1:12 @ wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor, such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like."

rsv@2Chronicles:1:13 @ So Solomon came from the high place at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:14 @ Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:1:16 @ And Solomon's import of horses was from Egypt and Ku'e, and the king's traders received them from Ku'e for a price.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:1 @ Now Solomon purposed to build a temple for the name of the LORD, and a royal palace for himself.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:2 @ And Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to bear burdens and eighty thousand to quarry in the hill country, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:3 @ And Solomon sent word to Huram the king of Tyre: "As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedar to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:7 @ So now send me a man skilled to work in gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue fabrics, trained also in engraving, to be with the skilled workers who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:8 @ Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. And my servants will be with your servants,

rsv@2Chronicles:2:11 @ Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in a letter which he sent to Solomon, "Because the LORD loves his people he has made you king over them."

rsv@2Chronicles:2:12 @ Huram also said, "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD, and a royal palace for himself.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:16 @ and we will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon, and bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa, so that you may take it up to Jerusalem."

rsv@2Chronicles:2:17 @ Then Solomon took a census of all the aliens who were in the land of Israel, after the census of them which David his father had taken; and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:1 @ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Mori'ah, where the LORD had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:3 @ These are Solomon's measurements for building the house of God: the length, in cubits of the old standard, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:7 @ So he lined the house with gold--its beams, its thresholds, its walls, and its doors; and he carved cherubim on the walls.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:12 @ and of this cherub, one wing, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and the other wing, also of five cubits, was joined to the wing of the first cherub.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:14 @ And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and worked cherubim on it.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:17 @ He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the south, the other on the north; that on the south he called Jachin, and that on the north Bo'az.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:4 @ It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the sea was set upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He also made ten lavers in which to wash, and set five on the south side, and five on the north side. In these they were to rinse off what was used for the burnt offering, and the sea was for the priests to wash in.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:7 @ And he made ten golden lampstands as prescribed, and set them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:8 @ He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. And he made a hundred basins of gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:10 @ and he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:11 @ Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God:

rsv@2Chronicles:4:14 @ He made the stands also, and the lavers upon the stands,

rsv@2Chronicles:4:16 @ The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all the equipment for these Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:18 @ Solomon made all these things in great quantities, so that the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:19 @ So Solomon made all the things that were in the house of God: the golden altar, the tables for the bread of the Presence,

rsv@2Chronicles:4:22 @ the snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and firepans, of pure gold; and the sockets of the temple, for the inner doors to the most holy place and for the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:1 @ Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, and stored the silver, the gold, and all the vessels in the treasuries of the house of God.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:2 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers' houses of the people of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:6 @ And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who had assembled before him, were before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:7 @ So the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:8 @ For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:9 @ And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:12 @ and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jedu'thun, their sons and kinsmen, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood east of the altar with a hundred and twenty priests who were trumpeters;

rsv@2Chronicles:5:13 @ and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the LORD), and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the LORD, "For he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever," the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

rsv@2Chronicles:5:14 @ so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

rsv@2Chronicles:6:1 @ Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

rsv@2Chronicles:6:9 @ nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.'

rsv@2Chronicles:6:12 @ Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands.

rsv@2Chronicles:6:13 @ Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the court; and he stood upon it. Then he knelt upon his knees in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

rsv@2Chronicles:7:5 @ King Solomon offered as a sacrifice twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:6 @ The priests stood at their posts; the Levites also, with the instruments for music to the LORD which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD--for his steadfast love endures for ever--whenever David offered praises by their ministry; opposite them the priests sounded trumpets; and all Israel stood.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:7 @ And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt offering and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar Solomon had made could not hold the burnt offering and the cereal offering and the fat.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:8 @ At that time Solomon held the feast for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:9 @ And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly; for they had kept the dedication of the altar seven days and the feast seven days.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:10 @ On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:11 @ Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD and the king's house; all that Solomon had planned to do in the house of the LORD and in his own house he successfully accomplished.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:12 @ Then the LORD appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.

rsv@2Chronicles:7:13 @ When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people,

rsv@2Chronicles:8:2 @ Solomon rebuilt the cities which Huram had given to him, and settled the people of Israel in them.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:3 @ And Solomon went to Ha'math-zo'bah, and took it.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:5 @ He also built Upper Beth-hor'on and Lower Beth-hor'on, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

rsv@2Chronicles:8:6 @ and Ba'alath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:8 @ from their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel had not destroyed--these Solomon made a forced levy and so they are to this day.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:9 @ But of the people of Israel Solomon made no slaves for his work; they were soldiers, and his officers, the commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:10 @ And these were the chief officers of King Solomon, two hundred and fifty, who exercised authority over the people.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:11 @ Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not live in the house of David king of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy."

rsv@2Chronicles:8:12 @ Then Solomon offered up burnt offerings to the LORD upon the altar of the LORD which he had built before the vestibule,

rsv@2Chronicles:8:14 @ According to the ordinance of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites for their offices of praise and ministry before the priests as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers in their divisions for the several gates; for so David the man of God had commanded.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:16 @ Thus was accomplished all the work of Solomon from the day the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:17 @ Then Solomon went to E'zion-ge'ber and Eloth on the shore of the sea, in the land of Edom.

rsv@2Chronicles:8:18 @ And Huram sent him by his servants ships and servants familiar with the sea, and they went to Ophir together with the servants of Solomon, and fetched from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:1 @ Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions, having a very great retinue and camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. When she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:2 @ And Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from Solomon which he could not explain to her.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:3 @ And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

rsv@2Chronicles:9:9 @ Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones: there were no spices such as those which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:10 @ Moreover the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum wood and precious stones.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:11 @ And the king made of the algum wood steps for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, lyres also and harps for the singers; there never was seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:12 @ And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatever she asked besides what she had brought to the king. So she turned and went back to her own land, with her servants.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:13 @ Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

rsv@2Chronicles:9:14 @ besides that which the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:15 @ King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each shield.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:17 @ The king also made a great ivory throne, and overlaid it with pure gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:20 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:22 @ Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:23 @ And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:24 @ Every one of them brought his present, articles of silver and of gold, garments, myrrh, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:25 @ And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:28 @ And horses were imported for Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:29 @ Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are they not written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahi'jah the Shi'lonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jerobo'am the son of Nebat?

rsv@2Chronicles:9:30 @ Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:31 @ And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehobo'am his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:5 @ He said to them, "Come to me again in three days." So the people went away.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:6 @ Then King Rehobo'am took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he was yet alive, saying, "How do you advise me to answer this people?"

rsv@2Chronicles:10:8 @ But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him and stood before him.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:12 @ So Jerobo'am and all the people came to Rehobo'am the third day, as the king said, "Come to me again the third day."

rsv@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king did not hearken to the people; for it was a turn of affairs brought about by God that the LORD might fulfil his word, which he spoke by Ahi'jah the Shi'lonite to Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:16 @ And when all Israel saw that the king did not hearken to them, the people answered the king, "What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Each of you to your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:17 @ They strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and for three years they made Rehobo'am the son of Solomon secure, for they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:18 @ Rehobo'am took as wife Ma'halath the daughter of Jer'imoth the son of David, and of Ab'ihail the daughter of Eli'ab the son of Jesse;

rsv@2Chronicles:11:22 @ and Rehobo'am appointed Abi'jah the son of Ma'acah as chief prince among his brothers, for he intended to make him king.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:23 @ And he dealt wisely, and distributed some of his sons through all the districts of Judah and Benjamin, in all the fortified cities; and he gave them abundant provisions, and procured wives for them.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:1 @ When the rule of Rehobo'am was established and was strong, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Then Shemai'ah the prophet came to Rehobo'am and to the princes of Judah, who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, `You abandoned me, so I have abandoned you to the hand of Shishak.'"

rsv@2Chronicles:12:7 @ When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemai'ah: "They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

rsv@Nehemiah:5:9 @ So I said, "The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies?

rsv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ I also shook out my lap and said, "So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not perform this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said "Amen" and praised the LORD. And the people did as they had promised.

rsv@Nehemiah:11:25 @ And as for the villages, with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kir'iath-ar'ba and its villages, and in Dibon and its villages, and in Jekab'zeel and its villages,

rsv@Nehemiah:11:30 @ Zano'ah, Adullam, and their villages, Lachish and its fields, and Aze'kah and its villages. So they encamped from Beer-sheba to the valley of Hinnom.

rsv@Nehemiah:11:31 @ The people of Benjamin also lived from Geba onward, at Michmash, Ai'ja, Bethel and its villages,

rsv@Nehemiah:12:1 @ These are the priests and the Levites who came up with Zerub'babel the son of She-al'ti-el, and Jeshua: Serai'ah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

rsv@Nehemiah:12:8 @ And the Levites: Jeshua, Bin'nui, Kad'mi-el, Sherebi'ah, Judah, and Mattani'ah, who with his brethren was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:22 @ As for the Levites, in the days of Eli'ashib, Joi'ada, Joha'nan, and Jad'du-a, there were recorded the heads of fathers' houses; also the priests until the reign of Darius the Persian.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:23 @ The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' houses, were written in the Book of the Chronicles until the days of Joha'nan the son of Eli'ashib.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:24 @ And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabi'ah, Sherebi'ah, and Jeshua the son of Kad'mi-el, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, watch corresponding to watch.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:26 @ These were in the days of Joi'akim the son of Jeshua son of Jo'zadak, and in the days of Nehemi'ah the governor and of Ezra the priest the scribe.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:27 @ And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings and with singing, with cymbals, harps, and lyres.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:28 @ And the sons of the singers gathered together from the circuit round Jerusalem and from the villages of the Netoph'athites;

rsv@Nehemiah:12:29 @ also from Beth-gilgal and from the region of Geba and Az'maveth; for the singers had built for themselves villages around Jerusalem.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:35 @ and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zechari'ah the son of Jonathan, son of Shemai'ah, son of Mattani'ah, son of Micai'ah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph;

rsv@Nehemiah:12:40 @ So both companies of those who gave thanks stood in the house of God, and I and half of the officials with me;

rsv@Nehemiah:12:43 @ And they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and children also rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:45 @ And they performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the command of David and his son Solomon.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:46 @ For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

rsv@Nehemiah:12:47 @ And all Israel in the days of Zerub'babel and in the days of Nehemi'ah gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers; and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:6 @ While this was taking place I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Ar-ta-xerx'es king of Babylon I went to the king. And after some time I asked leave of the king

rsv@Nehemiah:13:10 @ I also found out that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled each to his field.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:11 @ So I remonstrated with the officials and said, "Why is the house of God forsaken?" And I gathered them together and set them in their stations.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:13 @ And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouses Shelemi'ah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedai'ah of the Levites, and as their assistant Hanan the son of Zaccur, son of Mattani'ah, for they were counted faithful; and their duty was to distribute to their brethren.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:15 @ In those days I saw in Judah men treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in heaps of grain and loading them on asses; and also wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I warned them on the day when they sold food.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:16 @ Men of Tyre also, who lived in the city, brought in fish and all kinds of wares and sold them on the sabbath to the people of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:19 @ When it began to be dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut and gave orders that they should not be opened until after the sabbath. And I set some of my servants over the gates, that no burden might be brought in on the sabbath day.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:21 @ But I warned them and said to them, "Why do you lodge before the wall? If you do so again I will lay hands on you." From that time on they did not come on the sabbath.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come and guard the gates, to keep the sabbath day holy. Remember this also in my favor, O my God, and spare me according to the greatness of thy steadfast love.

rsv@Nehemiah:13:23 @ In those days also I saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab;

rsv@Nehemiah:13:25 @ And I contended with them and cursed them and beat some of them and pulled out their hair; and I made them take oath in the name of God, saying, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

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:13:28 @ And one of the sons of Jehoi'ada, the son of Eli'ashib the high priest, was the son-in-law of Sanbal'lat the Hor'onite; therefore I chased him from me.

rsv@Esther:1:6 @ There were white cotton curtains and blue hangings caught up with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars, and also couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.

rsv@Esther:1:9 @ Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:1:16 @ Then Memu'can said in presence of the king and the princes, "Not only to the king has Queen Vashti done wrong, but also to all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:1:19 @ If it please the king, let a royal order go forth from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes so that it may not be altered, that Vashti is to come no more before King Ahasu-e'rus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.

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:2:2 @ Then the king's servants who attended him said, "Let beautiful young virgins be sought out for the king.

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:2:5 @ Now there was a Jew in Susa the capital whose name was Mor'decai, the son of Ja'ir, son of Shim'e-i, son of Kish, a Benjaminite,

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:2:17 @ 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:2:21 @ And in those days, as Mor'decai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:2:23 @ When the affair was investigated and found to be so, the men were both hanged on the gallows. And it was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles in the presence of the king.

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:3:2 @ And all the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and did obeisance to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mor'decai did not bow down or do obeisance.

rsv@Esther:3:6 @ But he disdained to lay hands on Mor'decai alone. So, as they had made known to him the people of Mor'decai, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mor'decai, throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasu-e'rus, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not for the king's profit to tolerate them.

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:3:11 @ And the king said to Haman, "The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."

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:4:8 @ Mor'decai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her and charge her to go to the king to make supplication to him and entreat him for her people.

rsv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."

rsv@Esther:5:5 @ Then said the king, "Bring Haman quickly, that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the dinner that Esther had prepared.

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:5:12 @ And Haman added, "Even Queen Esther let no one come with the king to the banquet she prepared but myself. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with 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:6:2 @ And it was found written how Mor'decai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands upon King Ahasu-e'rus.

rsv@Esther:6:5 @ So the king's servants told him, "Haman is there, standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

rsv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king said to him, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

rsv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Make haste, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mor'decai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned."

rsv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he arrayed Mor'decai and made him ride through the open square of the city, proclaiming, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."

rsv@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther.

rsv@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."

rsv@Esther:7:10 @ And the king said, "Hang him on that." So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mor'decai. Then the anger of the king abated.

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:8:9 @ The king's secretaries were summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and an edict was written according to all that Mor'decai commanded concerning the Jews to the satraps and the governors and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and also to the Jews in their script and their language.

rsv@Esther:8:14 @ So the couriers, mounted on their swift horses that were used in the king's service, rode out in haste, urged by the king's command; and the decree was issued in Susa the capital.

rsv@Esther:9:2 @ the Jews gathered in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus to lay hands on such as sought their hurt. And no one could make a stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.

rsv@Esther:9:3 @ All the princes of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and the royal officials also helped the Jews, for the fear of Mor'decai had fallen upon them.

rsv@Esther:9:5 @ So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword, slaughtering, and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.

rsv@Esther:9:7 @ and also slew Par-shan-da'tha and Dalphon and Aspa'tha

rsv@Esther:9:10 @ the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of the Jews; but they laid no hand on the plunder.

rsv@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Queen Esther, "In Susa the capital the Jews have slain five hundred men and also the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what further is your request? It shall be fulfilled."

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:9:15 @ The Jews who were in Susa gathered also on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and they slew three hundred men in Susa; but they laid no hands on the plunder.

rsv@Esther:9:16 @ Now the other Jews who were in the king's provinces also gathered to defend their lives, and got relief from their enemies, and slew seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they laid no hands on the plunder.

rsv@Esther:9:21 @ enjoining them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and also the fifteenth day of the same, year by year,

rsv@Esther:9:22 @ as the days on which the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, days for sending choice portions to one another and gifts to the poor.

rsv@Esther:9:23 @ So the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mor'decai had written to them.

rsv@Esther:9:24 @ For Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to crush and destroy them;

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:9:31 @ that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as Mor'decai the Jew and Queen Esther enjoined upon the Jews, and as they had laid down for themselves and for their descendants, with regard to their fasts and their lamenting.

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.
