Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
nkjv@Joshua:5:1 @ So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.
nkjv@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon--the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--heard about it,
nkjv@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan--to Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
nkjv@Joshua:10:5 @ Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
nkjv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us."
nkjv@Joshua:10:16 @ But these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
nkjv@Joshua:10:17 @ And it was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
nkjv@Joshua:10:22 @ Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings to me from the cave."
nkjv@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought out those five kings 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.
nkjv@Joshua:10:24 @ So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.
nkjv@Joshua:10:40 @ So Joshua conquered all the land: the mountain country and the South and the lowland and the wilderness slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded.
nkjv@Joshua:10:42 @ All these kings and their land Joshua took at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
nkjv@Joshua:11:2 @ and to the kings who were from the north, in the mountains, in the plain south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
nkjv@Joshua:11:5 @ And when all these kings had met together, they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
nkjv@Joshua:11:12 @ So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.
nkjv@Joshua:11:17 @ from Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings, and struck them down and killed them.
nkjv@Joshua:11:18 @ Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
nkjv@Joshua:12:1 @ These are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed on the other side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the eastern Jordan plain:
nkjv@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon as far as Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,
nkjv@Joshua:12:24 @ the king of Tirzah, one--all the kings, thirty-one.
nkjv@Joshua:24:12 @ I sent the hornet before you which drove them out from before you, also the two kings of the Amorites, but not with your sword or with your bow.
nkjv@Judges:1:7 @ And Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
nkjv@Judges:5:3 @ "Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
nkjv@Judges:5:19 @ "The kings came and fought, Then the kings of Canaan fought In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoils of silver.
nkjv@Judges:8:5 @ Then he said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."
nkjv@Judges:8:12 @ When Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them; and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and routed the whole army.
nkjv@Judges:8:26 @ Now the weight of the gold earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments, pendants, and purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were around their camels' necks.
nkjv@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of Ammon, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he harassed them.
nkjv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
nkjv@2Samuel:10:19 @ And when all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.
nkjv@2Samuel:11:1 @ It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
nkjv@1Kings:1:1 @ Now King David was old, advanced in years; and they put covers on him, but he could not get warm.
nkjv@1Kings:1:2 @ Therefore his servants said to him, "Let a young woman, a virgin, be sought for our lord the king, and let her stand before the king, and let her care for him; and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm."
nkjv@1Kings:1:3 @ So they sought for a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
nkjv@1Kings:1:4 @ The young woman was very lovely; and she cared for the king, and served him; but the king did not know her.
nkjv@1Kings:1:5 @ Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king"; and he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
nkjv@1Kings:1:6 @ (And his father had not rebuked him at any time by saying, "Why have you done so?" He was also very good-looking. His mother had borne him after Absalom.)
nkjv@1Kings:1:7 @ Then he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed and helped Adonijah.
nkjv@1Kings:1:8 @ But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David were not with Adonijah.
nkjv@1Kings:1:9 @ And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fattened cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En Rogel; he also invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants.
nkjv@1Kings:1:10 @ But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or Solomon his brother.
nkjv@1Kings:1:11 @ So Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it?
nkjv@1Kings:1:12 @ Come, please, let me now give you advice, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
nkjv@1Kings:1:13 @ Go immediately to King David and say to him, "Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, "Assuredly your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?'
nkjv@1Kings:1:14 @ Then, while you are still talking there with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."
nkjv@1Kings:1:15 @ So Bathsheba went into the chamber to the king. (Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.)
nkjv@1Kings:1:16 @ And Bathsheba bowed and did homage to the king. Then the king said, "What is your wish?"
nkjv@1Kings:1:17 @ Then she said to him, "My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your maidservant, saying, "Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'
nkjv@1Kings:1:18 @ So now, look! Adonijah has become king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know about it.
nkjv@1Kings:1:19 @ He has sacrificed oxen and fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king, Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army; but Solomon your servant he has not invited.
nkjv@1Kings:1:20 @ And as for you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
nkjv@1Kings:1:21 @ Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king rests with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted as offenders."
nkjv@1Kings:1:22 @ And just then, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
nkjv@1Kings:1:23 @ So they told the king, saying, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.
nkjv@1Kings:1:24 @ And Nathan said, "My lord, O king, have you said, "Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne'?
nkjv@1Kings:1:25 @ For he has gone down today, and has sacrificed oxen and fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons, and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and look! They are eating and drinking before him; and they say, "Long live King Adonijah!'
nkjv@1Kings:1:26 @ But he has not invited me--me your servant--nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.
nkjv@1Kings:1:27 @ Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not told your servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
nkjv@1Kings:1:28 @ Then King David answered and said, "Call Bathsheba to me." So she came into the king's presence and stood before the king.
nkjv@1Kings:1:29 @ And the king took an oath and said, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress,
nkjv@1Kings:1:30 @ just as I swore to you by the LORD God of Israel, saying, "Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,' so I certainly will do this day."
nkjv@1Kings:1:31 @ Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and paid homage to the king, and said, "Let my lord King David live forever!"
nkjv@1Kings:1:32 @ And King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." So they came before the king.
nkjv@1Kings:1:33 @ The king also said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and take him down to Gihon.
nkjv@1Kings:1:34 @ There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel; and blow the horn, and say, "Long live King Solomon!'
nkjv@1Kings:1:35 @ Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah."
nkjv@1Kings:1:36 @ Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! May the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
nkjv@1Kings:1:37 @ As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so may He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David."
nkjv@1Kings:1:38 @ So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David's mule, and took him to Gihon.
nkjv@1Kings:1:39 @ Then Zadok the priest took a horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. And they blew the horn, and all the people said, "Long live King Solomon!"
nkjv@1Kings:1:40 @ And all the people went up after him; and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth seemed to split with their sound.
nkjv@1Kings:1:41 @ Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the horn, he said, "Why is the city in such a noisy uproar?"
nkjv@1Kings:1:42 @ While he was still speaking, there came Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest. And Adonijah said to him, "Come in, for you are a prominent man, and bring good news."
nkjv@1Kings:1:43 @ Then Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, "No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
nkjv@1Kings:1:44 @ The king has sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites; and they have made him ride on the king's mule.
nkjv@1Kings:1:45 @ So Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise that you have heard.
nkjv@1Kings:1:46 @ Also Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
nkjv@1Kings:1:47 @ And moreover the king's servants have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, "May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.' Then the king bowed himself on the bed.
nkjv@1Kings:1:48 @ Also the king said thus, "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, while my eyes see it!"'
nkjv@1Kings:1:49 @ So all the guests who were with Adonijah were afraid, and arose, and each one went his way.
nkjv@1Kings:1:50 @ Now Adonijah was afraid of Solomon; so he arose, and went and took hold of the horns of the altar.
nkjv@1Kings:1:51 @ And it was told Solomon, saying, "Indeed Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon; for look, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, "Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword."'
nkjv@1Kings:1:52 @ Then Solomon said, "If he proves himself a worthy man, not one hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die."
nkjv@1Kings:1:53 @ So King Solomon sent them to bring him down from the altar. And he came and fell down before King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
nkjv@1Kings:2:1 @ Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying:
nkjv@1Kings:2:2 @ "I go the way of all the earth; be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man.
nkjv@1Kings:2:3 @ And keep the charge of the LORD your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;
nkjv@1Kings:2:4 @ that the LORD may fulfill His word which He spoke concerning me, saying, "If your sons take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul,' He said, "you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'
nkjv@1Kings:2:5 @ "Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed. And he shed the blood of war in peacetime, and put the blood of war on his belt that was around his waist, and on his sandals that were on his feet.
nkjv@1Kings:2:6 @ Therefore do according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to the grave in peace.
nkjv@1Kings:2:7 @ "But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table, for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
nkjv@1Kings:2:8 @ "And see, you have with you Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite from Bahurim, who cursed me with a malicious curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, "I will not put you to death with the sword.'
nkjv@1Kings:2:9 @ Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man and know what you ought to do to him; but bring his gray hair down to the grave with blood."
nkjv@1Kings:2:10 @ So David rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David.
nkjv@1Kings:2:11 @ The period that David reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.
nkjv@1Kings:2:12 @ Then Solomon sat on the throne of his father David; and his kingdom was firmly established.
nkjv@1Kings:2:13 @ Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. So she said, "Do you come peaceably?" And he said, "Peaceably."
nkjv@1Kings:2:14 @ Moreover he said, "I have something to say to you." And she said, "Say it."
nkjv@1Kings:2:15 @ Then he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their expectations on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom has been turned over, and has become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.
nkjv@1Kings:2:16 @ Now I ask one petition of you; do not deny me." And she said to him, "Say it."
nkjv@1Kings:2:17 @ Then he said, "Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife."
nkjv@1Kings:2:18 @ So Bathsheba said, "Very well, I will speak for you to the king."
nkjv@1Kings:2:19 @ Bathsheba therefore went to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her and bowed down to her, and sat down on his throne and had a throne set for the king's mother; so she sat at his right hand.
nkjv@1Kings:2:20 @ Then she said, "I desire one small petition of you; do not refuse me." And the king said to her, "Ask it, my mother, for I will not refuse you."
nkjv@1Kings:2:21 @ So she said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife."
nkjv@1Kings:2:22 @ And King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "Now why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also--for he is my older brother--for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."
nkjv@1Kings:2:23 @ Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life!
nkjv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a house for me, as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today!"
nkjv@1Kings:2:25 @ So King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he struck him down, and he died.
nkjv@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are deserving of death; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted."
nkjv@1Kings:2:27 @ So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, that he might fulfill the word of the LORD which He spoke concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh.
nkjv@1Kings:2:28 @ Then news came to Joab, for Joab had defected to Adonijah, though he had not defected to Absalom. So Joab fled to the tabernacle of the LORD, and took hold of the horns of the altar.
nkjv@1Kings:2:29 @ And King Solomon was told, "Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the LORD; there he is, by the altar." Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, "Go, strike him down."
nkjv@1Kings:2:30 @ So Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said to him, "Thus says the king, "Come out!"' And he said, "No, but I will die here." And Benaiah brought back word to the king, saying, "Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me."
nkjv@1Kings:2:31 @ Then the king said to him, "Do as he has said, and strike him down and bury him, that you may take away from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood which Joab shed.
nkjv@1Kings:2:32 @ So the LORD will return his blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword--Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah--though my father David did not know it.
nkjv@1Kings:2:33 @ Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab and upon the head of his descendants forever. But upon David and his descendants, upon his house and his throne, there shall be peace forever from the LORD."
nkjv@1Kings:2:34 @ So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and struck and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
nkjv@1Kings:2:35 @ The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army, and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
nkjv@1Kings:2:36 @ Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere.
nkjv@1Kings:2:37 @ For it shall be, on the day you go out and cross the Brook Kidron, know for certain you shall surely die; your blood shall be on your own head."
nkjv@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shimei said to the king, "The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
nkjv@1Kings:2:39 @ Now it happened at the end of three years, that two slaves of Shimei ran away to Achish the son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Look, your slaves are in Gath!"
nkjv@1Kings:2:40 @ So Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Achish at Gath to seek his slaves. And Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
nkjv@1Kings:2:41 @ And Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back.
nkjv@1Kings:2:42 @ Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD, and warn you, saying, "Know for certain that on the day you go out and travel anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, "The word I have heard is good.'
nkjv@1Kings:2:43 @ Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I gave you?"
nkjv@1Kings:2:44 @ The king said moreover to Shimei, "You know, as your heart acknowledges, all the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.
nkjv@1Kings:2:45 @ But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever."
nkjv@1Kings:2:46 @ So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and struck him down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
nkjv@1Kings:3:1 @ Now Solomon made a treaty with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh's daughter; then he brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall all around Jerusalem.
nkjv@1Kings:3:2 @ Meanwhile the people sacrificed at the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.
nkjv@1Kings:3:3 @ And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.
nkjv@1Kings:3:4 @ Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
nkjv@1Kings:3:5 @ At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask! What shall I give you?"
nkjv@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said: "You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
nkjv@1Kings:3:7 @ Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.
nkjv@1Kings:3:8 @ And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.
nkjv@1Kings:3:9 @ Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"
nkjv@1Kings:3:10 @ The speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
nkjv@1Kings:3:11 @ Then God said to him: "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,
nkjv@1Kings:3:12 @ behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.
nkjv@1Kings:3:13 @ And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.
nkjv@1Kings:3:14 @ So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."
nkjv@1Kings:3:15 @ Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
nkjv@1Kings:3:16 @ Now two women who were harlots came to the king, and stood before him.
nkjv@1Kings:3:17 @ And one woman said, "O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house.
nkjv@1Kings:3:18 @ Then it happened, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together; no one was with us in the house, except the two of us in the house.
nkjv@1Kings:3:19 @ And this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him.
nkjv@1Kings:3:20 @ So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from my side, while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
nkjv@1Kings:3:21 @ And when I rose in the morning to nurse my son, there he was, dead. But when I had examined him in the morning, indeed, he was not my son whom I had borne."
nkjv@1Kings:3:22 @ Then the other woman said, "No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." And the first woman said, "No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.
nkjv@1Kings:3:23 @ And the king said, "The one says, "This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one'; and the other says, "No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'
nkjv@1Kings:3:24 @ Then the king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king.
nkjv@1Kings:3:25 @ And the king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other."
nkjv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, "O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!" But the other said, "Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him."
nkjv@1Kings:3:27 @ So the king answered and said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him; she is his mother."
nkjv@1Kings:3:28 @ And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.
nkjv@1Kings:4:1 @ So King Solomon was king over all Israel.
nkjv@1Kings:4:2 @ And these were his officials: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;
nkjv@1Kings:4:3 @ Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;
nkjv@1Kings:4:4 @ Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, over the army; Zadok and Abiathar, the priests;
nkjv@1Kings:4:5 @ Azariah the son of Nathan, over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan, a priest and the king's friend;
nkjv@1Kings:4:6 @ Ahishar, over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda, over the labor force.
nkjv@1Kings:4:7 @ And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household; each one made provision for one month of the year.
nkjv@1Kings:4:8 @ These are their names: Ben-Hur, in the mountains of Ephraim;
nkjv@1Kings:4:9 @ Ben-Deker, in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth Shemesh, and Elon Beth Hanan;
nkjv@1Kings:4:10 @ Ben-Hesed, in Arubboth; to him belonged Sochoh and all the land of Hepher;
nkjv@1Kings:4:11 @ Ben-Abinadab, in all the regions of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife;
nkjv@1Kings:4:12 @ Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean, which is beside Zaretan below Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam;
nkjv@1Kings:4:13 @ Ben-Geber, in Ramoth Gilead; to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; to him also belonged the region of Argob in Bashan--sixty large cities with walls and bronze gate-bars;
nkjv@1Kings:4:14 @ Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
nkjv@1Kings:4:15 @ Ahimaaz, in Naphtali; he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife;
nkjv@1Kings:4:16 @ Baanah the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;
nkjv@1Kings:4:17 @ Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;
nkjv@1Kings:4:18 @ Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin;
nkjv@1Kings:4:19 @ Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan. He was the only governor who was in the land.
nkjv@1Kings:4:20 @ Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing.
nkjv@1Kings:4:21 @ So Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
nkjv@1Kings:4:22 @ Now Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, sixty kors of meal,
nkjv@1Kings:4:23 @ ten fatted oxen, twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.
nkjv@1Kings:4:24 @ For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on every side all around him.
nkjv@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
nkjv@1Kings:4:26 @ Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
nkjv@1Kings:4:27 @ And these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table. There was no lack in their supply.
nkjv@1Kings:4:28 @ They also brought barley and straw to the proper place, for the horses and steeds, each man according to his charge.
nkjv@1Kings:4:29 @ And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.
nkjv@1Kings:4:30 @ Thus Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.
nkjv@1Kings:4:31 @ For he was wiser than all men--than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.
nkjv@1Kings:4:32 @ He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.
nkjv@1Kings:4:33 @ Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.
nkjv@1Kings:4:34 @ And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.
nkjv@1Kings:5:1 @ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, because he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always loved David.
nkjv@1Kings:5:2 @ Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
nkjv@1Kings:5:3 @ You know how my father David could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were fought against him on every side, until the LORD put his foes under the soles of his feet.
nkjv@1Kings:5:4 @ But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence.
nkjv@1Kings:5:5 @ And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to my father David, saying, "Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for My name."
nkjv@1Kings:5:6 @ Now therefore, command that they cut down cedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know there is none among us who has skill to cut timber like the Sidonians.
nkjv@1Kings:5:7 @ So it was, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly and said, 4 Blessed be the LORD this day, for He has given David a wise son over this great people!
nkjv@1Kings:5:8 @ Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: 4 I have considered the message which you sent me, and I will do all you desire concerning the cedar and cypress logs.
nkjv@1Kings:5:9 @ My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; I will float them in rafts by sea to the place you indicate to me, and will have them broken apart there; then you can take them away. And you shall fulfill my desire by giving food for my household.
nkjv@1Kings:5:10 @ Then Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress logs according to all his desire.
nkjv@1Kings:5:11 @ And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of pressed oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.
nkjv@1Kings:5:12 @ So the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.
nkjv@1Kings:5:13 @ Then King Solomon raised up a labor force out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men.
nkjv@1Kings:5:14 @ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoniram was in charge of the labor force.
nkjv@1Kings:5:15 @ Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens, and eighty thousand who quarried stone in the mountains,
nkjv@1Kings:5:16 @ besides three thousand three hundred from the chiefs of Solomon's deputies, who supervised the people who labored in the work.
nkjv@1Kings:5:17 @ And the king commanded them to quarry large stones, costly stones, and hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the temple.
nkjv@1Kings:5:18 @ So Solomon's builders, Hiram's builders, and the Gebalites quarried them; and they prepared timber and stones to build the temple.
nkjv@1Kings:6:1 @ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
nkjv@1Kings:6:2 @ Now the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, its length was sixty cubits, its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.
nkjv@1Kings:6:3 @ The vestibule in front of the sanctuary of the house was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the width of the vestibule extended ten cubits from the front of the house.
nkjv@1Kings:6:4 @ And he made for the house windows with beveled frames.
nkjv@1Kings:6:5 @ Against the wall of the temple he built chambers all around, against the walls of the temple, all around the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. Thus he made side chambers all around it.
nkjv@1Kings:6:6 @ The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the temple, so that the support beams would not be fastened into the walls of the temple.
nkjv@1Kings:6:7 @ And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.
nkjv@1Kings:6:8 @ The doorway for the middle story was on the right side of the temple. They went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.
nkjv@1Kings:6:9 @ So he built the temple and finished it, and he paneled the temple with beams and boards of cedar.
nkjv@1Kings:6:10 @ And he built side chambers against the entire temple, each five cubits high; they were attached to the temple with cedar beams.
nkjv@1Kings:6:11 @ Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:
nkjv@1Kings:6:12 @ "Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments, and walk in them, then I will perform My word with you, which I spoke to your father David.
nkjv@1Kings:6:13 @ And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."
nkjv@1Kings:6:14 @ So Solomon built the temple and finished it.
nkjv@1Kings:6:15 @ And he built the inside walls of the temple with cedar boards; from the floor of the temple to the ceiling he paneled the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the temple with planks of cypress.
nkjv@1Kings:6:16 @ Then he built the twenty-cubit room at the rear of the temple, from floor to ceiling, with cedar boards; he built it inside as the inner sanctuary, as the Most Holy Place.
nkjv@1Kings:6:17 @ And in front of it the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.
nkjv@1Kings:6:18 @ The inside of the temple was cedar, carved with ornamental buds and open flowers. All was cedar; there was no stone to be seen.
nkjv@1Kings:6:19 @ And he prepared the inner sanctuary inside the temple, to set the ark of the covenant of the LORD there.
nkjv@1Kings:6:20 @ The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid it with pure gold, and overlaid the altar of cedar.
nkjv@1Kings:6:21 @ So Solomon overlaid the inside of the temple with pure gold. He stretched gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, and overlaid it with gold.
nkjv@1Kings:6:22 @ The whole temple he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the temple; also he overlaid with gold the entire altar that was by the inner sanctuary.
nkjv@1Kings:6:23 @ Inside the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
nkjv@1Kings:6:24 @ One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits: ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.
nkjv@1Kings:6:25 @ And the other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim were of the same size and shape.
nkjv@1Kings:6:26 @ The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub.
nkjv@1Kings:6:27 @ Then he set the cherubim inside the inner room; and they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall. And their wings touched each other in the middle of the room.
nkjv@1Kings:6:28 @ Also he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
nkjv@1Kings:6:29 @ Then he carved all the walls of the temple all around, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers.
nkjv@1Kings:6:30 @ And the floor of the temple he overlaid with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries.
nkjv@1Kings:6:31 @ For the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood; the lintel and doorposts were one-fifth of the wall.
nkjv@1Kings:6:32 @ The two doors were of olive wood; and he carved on them figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.
nkjv@1Kings:6:33 @ So for the door of the sanctuary he also made doorposts of olive wood, one-fourth of the wall.
nkjv@1Kings:6:34 @ And the two doors were of cypress wood; two panels comprised one folding door, and two panels comprised the other folding door.
nkjv@1Kings:6:35 @ Then he carved cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers on them, and overlaid them with gold applied evenly on the carved work.
nkjv@1Kings:6:36 @ And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone and a row of cedar beams.
nkjv@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv.
nkjv@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.
nkjv@1Kings:7:1 @ But Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; so he finished all his house.
nkjv@1Kings:7:2 @ He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars.
nkjv@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row. ![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
