nasb@Joshua:0:16 @They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

nasb@Joshua:0:17" @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.

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

nasb@Joshua:1:4 @But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them, and she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.

nasb@Joshua:1:5" @It came about when it was time to shut the gate at dark, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."

nasb@Joshua:1:7 @So the men pursued them on the road to the Jordan to the fords; and as soon as those who were pursuing them had gone out, they shut the gate.

nasb@Joshua:1:10" @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

nasb@Joshua:1:11" @When we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

nasb@Joshua:1:12" @Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's household, and give me a pledge of truth,

nasb@Joshua:1:14 @So the men said to her, "Our life for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when the LORD gives us the land that we will deal kindly and faithfully with you."

nasb@Joshua:1:17 @The men said to her, " We shall be free from this oath to you which you have made us swear,

nasb@Joshua:1:18 @unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather to yourself into the house your father and your mother and your brothers and all your father's household.

nasb@Joshua:1:19" @It shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be free; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

nasb@Joshua:1:20" @But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be free from the oath which you have made us swear."

nasb@Joshua:2:2 @At the end of three days the officers went through the midst of the camp;

nasb@Joshua:2:4" @However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before."

nasb@Joshua:2:6 @And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people." So they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.

nasb@Joshua:2:12" @Now then, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.

nasb@Joshua:2:15 @and when those who carried the ark came into the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the ark were dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest),

nasb@Joshua:2:16 @the waters which were flowing down from above stood and rose up in one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:2:2" @ Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,

nasb@Joshua:2:3 @and command them, saying, 'Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet are standing firm, and carry them over with you and lay them down in the lodging place where you will lodge tonight.'"

nasb@Joshua:2:4 @So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe;

nasb@Joshua:2:7 @then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.' So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever."

nasb@Joshua:2:8 @Thus the sons of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging place and put them down there.

nasb@Joshua:2:9 @Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan at the place where the feet of the priests who carried the ark of the covenant were standing, and they are there to this day.

nasb@Joshua:2:10 @For the priests who carried the ark were standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything was completed that the LORD had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hurried and crossed;

nasb@Joshua:2:18 @It came about when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks as before.

nasb@Joshua:2:20 @Those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set up at Gilgal.

nasb@Joshua:2:23" @For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed, just as the LORD your God had done to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed;

nasb@Joshua:3:1 @Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed, that their hearts melted, and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:3:4 @This is the reason why Joshua circumcised them- all the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way after they came out of Egypt.

nasb@Joshua:3:5 @For all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

nasb@Joshua:3:7 @Their children whom He raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them along the way.

nasb@Joshua:3:8 @Now when they had finished circumcising all the nation, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed.

nasb@Joshua:3:13 @Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?"

nasb@Joshua:3:14 @He said, "No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?"

nasb@Joshua:4:1 @Now Jericho was tightly shut because of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no one came in.

nasb@Joshua:4:8 @And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

nasb@Joshua:4:9 @The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while they continued to blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:13 @The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew the trumpets; and the armed men went before them and the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while they continued to blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:17" @The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.

nasb@Joshua:4:20 @So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.

nasb@Joshua:4:23 @So the young men who were spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives and placed them outside the camp of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:4:25 @However, Rahab the harlot and her father's household and all she had, Joshua spared; and she has lived in the midst of Israel to this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:5:2 @Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:4 @So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:7 @Joshua said, "Alas, O Lord GOD, why did You ever bring this people over the Jordan, only to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? If only we had been willing to dwell beyond the Jordan!

nasb@Joshua:5:20 @So Achan answered Joshua and said, "Truly, I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and this is what I did-

nasb@Joshua:5:21 @when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it."

nasb@Joshua:5:5" @Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as at the first, we will flee before them.

nasb@Joshua:5:6" @They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, 'They are fleeing before us as at the first.' So we will flee before them.

nasb@Joshua:5:9 @So Joshua sent them away, and they went to the place of ambush and remained between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.

nasb@Joshua:5:10 @Now Joshua rose early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people to Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:11 @Then all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near and arrived in front of the city, and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:12 @And he took about 5,000 men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:13 @So they stationed the people, all the army that was on the north side of the city, and its rear guard on the west side of the city, and Joshua spent that night in the midst of the valley.

nasb@Joshua:5:14 @It came about when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose up early and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:16 @And all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and they pursued Joshua and were drawn away from the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:22 @The others came out from the city to encounter them, so that they were trapped in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they slew them until no one was left of those who survived or escaped.

nasb@Joshua:5:24 @Now when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the wilderness where they pursued them, and all of them were fallen by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Joshua:5:25 @All who fell that day, both men and women, were 12,000--all the people of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:33 @All Israel with their elders and officers and their judges were standing on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, the stranger as well as the native. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had given command at first to bless the people of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:35 @There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women and the little ones and the strangers who were living among them.

nasb@Joshua:6:1 @Now it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland and on all the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, heard of it,

nasb@Joshua:6:6 @They went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a covenant with us."

nasb@Joshua:6:7 @The men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you are living within our land; how then shall we make a covenant with you?"

nasb@Joshua:6:8 @But they said to Joshua, " We are your servants." Then Joshua said to them, "Who are you and where do you come from?"

nasb@Joshua:6:9 @They said to him, "Your servants have come from a very far country because of the fame of the LORD your God; for we have heard the report of Him and all that He did in Egypt,

nasb@Joshua:6:10 @and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan who was at Ashtaroth.

nasb@Joshua:6:11" @So our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, 'Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them, " We are your servants; now then, make a covenant with us."'

nasb@Joshua:6:12" @This our bread was warm when we took it for our provisions out of our houses on the day that we left to come to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become crumbled.

nasb@Joshua:6:13" @These wineskins which we filled were new, and behold, they are torn; and these our clothes and our sandals are worn out because of the very long journey."

nasb@Joshua:6:16 @It came about at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were neighbors and that they were living within their land.

nasb@Joshua:6:17 @Then the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.

nasb@Joshua:6:19 @But all the leaders said to the whole congregation, "We have sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.

nasb@Joshua:6:20" @This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be upon us for the oath which we swore to them."

nasb@Joshua:6:21 @The leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.

nasb@Joshua:6:22 @Then Joshua called for them and spoke to them, saying, "Why have you deceived us, saying, 'We are very far from you,' when you are living within our land?

nasb@Joshua:6:23" @Now therefore, you are cursed, and you shall never cease being slaves, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."

nasb@Joshua:6:24 @So they answered Joshua and said, " Because it was certainly told your servants 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 before you; therefore we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

nasb@Joshua:6:25" @Now behold, we are in your hands; do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us."

nasb@Joshua:6:27 @But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, to this day, in the place which He would choose.

nasb@Joshua:7:1 @Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were within their land,

nasb@Joshua:7:2 @that he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

nasb@Joshua:7:5 @So 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 with all their armies, and camped by Gibeon and fought against it.

nasb@Joshua:7:7 @So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him and all the valiant warriors.

nasb@Joshua:7:11 @As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, the LORD threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.

nasb@Joshua:7:20 @It came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were destroyed, and the survivors who remained of them had entered the fortified cities,

nasb@Joshua:7:36 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and they fought against it.

nasb@Joshua:7:37 @They captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who were in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it.

nasb@Joshua:8:2 @and to the kings who were of the north in the hill country, and in the Arabah--south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and on the heights of Dor on the west--

nasb@Joshua:8:3 @to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

nasb@Joshua:8:13 @However, Israel did not burn any cities that stood on their mounds, except Hazor alone, which Joshua burned.

nasb@Joshua:8:22 @There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained.

nasb@Joshua:9:7 @Now these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel defeated beyond the Jordan toward the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even as far as Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

nasb@Joshua:9:27 @and in the valley, Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, as far as the lower end of the Sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan to the east.

nasb@Joshua:9:31 @also half of Gilead, with Ashtaroth and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the sons of Machir according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:10:4 @For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.

nasb@Joshua:10:8" @Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the LORD my God fully.

nasb@Joshua:10:9" @So Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the LORD my God fully.'

nasb@Joshua:10:12" @Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken."

nasb@Joshua:10:14 @Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the LORD God of Israel fully.

nasb@Joshua:11:2 @Their south border was from the lower end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that turns to the south.

nasb@Joshua:11:3 @Then it proceeded southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and continued to Zin, then went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron, and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka.

nasb@Joshua:11:6 @Then the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and continued on the north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:11:7 @The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and it ended at En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:11:8 @Then the border went up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the slope of the Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is before the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north.

nasb@Joshua:11:10 @The border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through Timnah.

nasb@Joshua:11:12 @The west border was at the Great Sea, even its coastline. This is the border around the sons of Judah according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:11:15 @Then he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.

nasb@Joshua:11:19 @Then she said, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

nasb@Joshua:11:21 @Now the cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the south were Kabzeel and Eder and Jagur,

nasb@Joshua:11:32 @and Lebaoth and Shilhim and Ain and Rimmon; in all, twenty-nine cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:11:46 @from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:12:1 @Then the lot for the sons of Joseph went from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

nasb@Joshua:12:2 @It went from Bethel to Luz, and continued to the border of the Archites at Ataroth.

nasb@Joshua:12:3 @It went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of lower Beth-horon even to Gezer, and it ended at the sea.

nasb@Joshua:12:6 @Then the border went westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah.

nasb@Joshua:12:7 @It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

nasb@Joshua:12:8 @From Tappuah the border continued westward to the brook of Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families,

nasb@Joshua:12:9 @together with the cities which were set apart for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:13:1 @Now this was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a man of war.

nasb@Joshua:13:2 @So the lot was made for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families- for the sons of Abiezer and for the sons of Helek and for the sons of Asriel and for the sons of Shechem and for the sons of Hepher and for the sons of Shemida; these were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:13:3 @However, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters- Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

nasb@Joshua:13:7 @The border of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath which was east of Shechem; then the border went southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

nasb@Joshua:13:9 @The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook (these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook and it ended at the sea.

nasb@Joshua:13:17 @Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, "You are a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only,

nasb@Joshua:14:8 @Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, "Go and walk through the land and describe it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

nasb@Joshua:14:9 @So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

nasb@Joshua:14:11 @Now the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot lay between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

nasb@Joshua:14:12 @Their border on the north side was from the Jordan, then the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward, and it ended at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

nasb@Joshua:14:13 @From there the border continued to Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Bethel) southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, near the hill which lies on the south of lower Beth-horon.

nasb@Joshua:14:14 @The border extended from there and turned round on the west side southward, from the hill which lies before Beth-horon southward; and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.

nasb@Joshua:14:15 @Then the south side was from the edge of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went westward and went to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.

nasb@Joshua:14:16 @The border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:14:17 @It extended northward and went to En-shemesh and went to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:14:18 @It continued to the side in front of the Arabah northward and went down to the Arabah.

nasb@Joshua:14:21 @Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz,

nasb@Joshua:14:24 @and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:8 @and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:11 @Then their border went up to the west and to Maralah, it then touched Dabbesheth and reached to the brook that is before Jokneam.

nasb@Joshua:15:15 @Included also were Kattah and Nahalal and Shimron and Idalah and Bethlehem; twelve cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:26 @and Allammelech and Amad and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel on the west and to Shihor-libnath.

nasb@Joshua:15:30 @Included also were Ummah, and Aphek and Rehob; twenty-two cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:47 @The territory of the sons of Dan proceeded beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and possessed it and settled in it; and they called Leshem Dan after the name of Dan their father.

nasb@Joshua:16:4 @Then the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, received thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah and from the tribe of the Simeonites and from the tribe of Benjamin.

nasb@Joshua:17:7 @Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave a possession among their brothers westward beyond the Jordan. So when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

nasb@Judges:5:5 @For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, they would come in like locusts for number, both they and their camels were innumerable; and they came into the land to devastate it.

nasb@Judges:5:19 @Then Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour; he put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them out to him under the oak and presented them.

nasb@Judges:6:11 @and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp." So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp.

nasb@Judges:6:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.

nasb@Judges:6:15 @When Gideon heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, "Arise, for the LORD has given the camp of Midian into your hands."

nasb@Judges:6:19 @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 posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands.

nasb@Judges:6:23 @The men of Israel were summoned from Naphtali and Asher and all Manasseh, and they pursued Midian.

nasb@Judges:6:24 @Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were summoned and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.

nasb@Judges:7:4 @Then Gideon and the 300 men who were with him came to the Jordan and crossed over, weary yet pursuing.

nasb@Judges:7:5 @He said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."

nasb@Judges:7:6 @The leaders of Succoth said, " Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hands, that we should give bread to your army?"

nasb@Judges:7:8 @He went up from there to Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered.

nasb@Judges:7:21 @Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise up yourself, and fall on us; for as the man, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

nasb@Judges:7:24 @Yet Gideon said to them, "I would request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his spoil." (For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

nasb@Judges:9:12 @Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, "What is between you and me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"

nasb@Judges:9:16 @'For when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh,

nasb@Judges:9:18 @'Then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

nasb@Judges:9:24 @'Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the LORD our God has driven out before us, we will possess it.

nasb@Judges:9:27 @'I therefore have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by making war against me; may the LORD, the Judge, judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.'"

nasb@Judges:9:29 @Now the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, so that he passed through Gilead and Manasseh; then he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he went on to the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Judges:9:33 @He struck them with a very great slaughter from Aroer to the entrance of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:9:37 @She said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me; let me alone two months, that I may go to the mountains and weep because of my virginity, I and my companions."

nasb@Judges:9:38 @Then he said, "Go." So he sent her away for two months; and she left with her companions, and wept on the mountains because of her virginity.

nasb@Judges:9:40 @that the daughters of Israel went yearly to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.

nasb@Judges:10:1 @Then the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the sons of Ammon without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you."

nasb@Judges:10:2 @Jephthah said to them, "I and my people were at great strife with the sons of Ammon; when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.

nasb@Judges:11:6 @Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, " A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.

nasb@Judges:11:11 @Then Manoah arose and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" And he said, "I am."

nasb@Judges:11:15 @Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Please let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you."

nasb@Judges:11:17 @Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, " What is your name, so that when your words come to pass, we may honor you?"

nasb@Judges:11:20 @For it came about when the flame went up from the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground.

nasb@Judges:11:22 @So Manoah said to his wife, " We will surely die, for we have seen God."

nasb@Judges:11:25 @And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

nasb@Judges:12:1 @Then Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah, one of the daughters of the Philistines.

nasb@Judges:12:4 @However, his father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

nasb@Judges:12:5 @Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.

nasb@Judges:12:7 @So he went down and talked to the woman; and she looked good to Samson.

nasb@Judges:12:8 @When he returned later to take her, he turned aside to look at the carcass of the lion; and behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the body of the lion.

nasb@Judges:12:9 @So he scraped the honey into his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it; but he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.

nasb@Judges:12:10 @Then his father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men customarily did this.

nasb@Judges:12:13" @But if you are unable to tell me, then you shall give me thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes." And they said to him, "Propound your riddle, that we may hear it."

nasb@Judges:12:14 @So he said to them, "Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet." But they could not tell the riddle in three days.

nasb@Judges:12:15 @Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson's wife, " Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?"

nasb@Judges:12:16 @Samson's wife wept before him and said, " You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?"

nasb@Judges:12:17 @However she wept before him seven days while their feast lasted. And on the seventh day he told her because she pressed him so hard. She then told the riddle to the sons of her people.

nasb@Judges:12:18 @So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have found out my riddle."

nasb@Judges:12:19 @Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of them and took their spoil and gave the changes of clothes to those who told the riddle. And his anger burned, and he went up to his father's house.

nasb@Judges:13:4 @Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned the foxes tail to tail and put one torch in the middle between two tails.

nasb@Judges:13:8 @He struck them ruthlessly with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.

nasb@Judges:13:9 @Then the Philistines went up and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.

nasb@Judges:13:10 @The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" And they said, "We have come up to bind Samson in order to do to him as he did to us."

nasb@Judges:13:11 @Then 3,000 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 I have done to them."

nasb@Judges:13:12 @They said to him, "We have come down to bind you so that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me."

nasb@Judges:13:13 @So they said to him, "No, but we will bind you fast and give you into their hands; yet surely we will not kill you." Then they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.

nasb@Judges:13:14 @When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds dropped from his hands.

nasb@Judges:13:20 @So he judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.

nasb@Judges:14:1 @Now Samson went to Gaza and saw a harlot there, and went in to her.

nasb@Judges:14:2 @When it was told to the Gazites, saying, "Samson has come here," they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. And they kept silent all night, saying, "Let us wait until the morning light, then we will kill him."

nasb@Judges:14:5 @The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, " Entice him, and see where his great strength lies and how we may overpower him that we may bind him to afflict him. Then we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."

nasb@Judges:14:7 @Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:11 @He said to her, "If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:12 @So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" For the men were lying in wait in the inner room. But he snapped the ropes from his arms like a thread.

nasb@Judges:14:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web [and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:14 @So while he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his hair and wove them into the web]. And she fastened it with the pin and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom and the web.

nasb@Judges:14:17 @So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, "A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:22 @However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.

nasb@Judges:14:25 @It so happened when they were in high spirits, that they said, "Call for Samson, that he may amuse us." So they called for Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars.

nasb@Judges:14:27 @Now the house was full of men and women, and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And about 3,000 men and women were on the roof looking on while Samson was amusing them.

nasb@Judges:14:30 @And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" And he bent with all his might so that the house fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.

nasb@Judges:14:31 @Then his brothers and all his father's household came down, took him, brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. Thus he had judged Israel twenty years.

nasb@Judges:15:2 @He said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse in my hearing, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."

nasb@Judges:15:4 @So when he returned the silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith who made them into a graven image and a molten image, and they were in the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:15:10 @Micah then said to him, "Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your maintenance." So the Levite went in.

nasb@Judges:16:3 @When they were near the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young man, the Levite; and they turned aside there and said to him, "Who brought you here? And what are you doing in this place? And what do you have here?"

nasb@Judges:16:5 @They said to him, "Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether our way on which we are going will be prosperous."

nasb@Judges:16:7 @Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were in it living in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no ruler humiliating them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.

nasb@Judges:16:9 @They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you sit still? Do not delay to go, to enter, to possess the land.

nasb@Judges:16:11 @Then from the family of the Danites, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, six hundred men armed with weapons of war set out.

nasb@Judges:16:12 @They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim.

nasb@Judges:16:14 @Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish said to their kinsmen, "Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod and household idols and a graven image and a molten image? Now therefore, consider what you should do."

nasb@Judges:16:15 @They turned aside there and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, to the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.

nasb@Judges:16:16 @The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

nasb@Judges:16:17 @Now the five men who went to spy out the land went up and entered there, and took the graven image and the ephod and household idols and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

nasb@Judges:16:18 @When these went into Micah's house and took the graven image, the ephod and household idols and the molten image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"

nasb@Judges:16:20 @The priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod and household idols and the graven image and went among the people.

nasb@Judges:16:22 @When they had gone some distance from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house assembled and overtook the sons of Dan.

nasb@Judges:16:26 @So the sons of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

nasb@Judges:16:29 @They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born in Israel; however, the name of the city formerly was Laish.

nasb@Judges:16:30 @The sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.

nasb@Judges:17:2 @But his concubine played the harlot against him, and she went away from him to her father's house in Bethlehem in Judah, and was there for a period of four months.

nasb@Judges:17:3 @Then her husband arose and went after her to speak tenderly to her in order to bring her back, taking with him his servant and a pair of donkeys. So she brought him into her father's house, and when the girl's father saw him, he was glad to meet him.

nasb@Judges:17:10 @But the man was not willing to spend the night, so he arose and departed and came to a place opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a pair of saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him.

nasb@Judges:17:11 @When they were near Jebus, the day was almost gone; and the servant said to his master, "Please come, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it."

nasb@Judges:17:12 @However, his master said to him, "We will not turn aside into the city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; but we will go on as far as Gibeah."

nasb@Judges:17:13 @He said to his servant, "Come and let us approach one of these places; and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."

nasb@Judges:17:14 @So they passed along and went their way, and the sun set on them near Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:17:16 @Then behold, an old man was coming out of the field from his work at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying in Gibeah, but the men of the place were Benjamites.

nasb@Judges:17:18 @He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, for I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. But I am now going to my house, and no man will take me into his house.

nasb@Judges:17:20 @The old man said, " Peace to you. Only let me take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the open square."

nasb@Judges:17:22 @While they were celebrating, behold, the men of the city, certain worthless fellows, surrounded the house, pounding the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house that we may have relations with him."

nasb@Judges:17:23 @Then the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my fellows, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not commit this act of folly.

nasb@Judges:17:27 @When her master arose in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go on his way, then behold, his concubine was lying at the doorway of the house with her hands on the threshold.

nasb@Judges:17:28 @He said to her, "Get up and let us go," but there was no answer. Then he placed her on the donkey; and the man arose and went to his home.

nasb@Judges:17:29 @When he entered his house, he took a knife and laid hold of his concubine and cut her in twelve pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout the territory of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:4 @So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came with my concubine to spend the night at Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:18:9" @But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up against it by lot.

nasb@Judges:18:10" @And we will take 10 men out of 100 throughout the tribes of Israel, and 100 out of 1,000, and 1,000 out of 10,000 to supply food for the people, that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, they may punish them for all the disgraceful acts that they have committed in Israel."

nasb@Judges:18:11 @Thus all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united as one man.

nasb@Judges:18:13" @Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:15 @From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin were numbered, 26,000 men who draw the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who were numbered, 700 choice men.

nasb@Judges:18:16 @Out of all these people 700 choice men were left-handed; each one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

nasb@Judges:18:17 @Then the men of Israel besides Benjamin were numbered, 400,000 men who draw the sword; all these were men of war.

nasb@Judges:18:18 @Now the sons of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God and said, "Who shall go up first for us to battle against the sons of Benjamin?" Then the LORD said, "Judah shall go up first."

nasb@Judges:18:20 @The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel arrayed for battle against them at Gibeah.

nasb@Judges:18:23 @The sons of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall we again draw near for battle against the sons of my brother Benjamin?" And the LORD said, "Go up against him."

nasb@Judges:18:25 @Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah the second day and felled to the ground again 18,000 men of the sons of Israel; all these drew the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:26 @Then all the sons of Israel and all the people went up and came to Bethel and wept; thus they remained there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening. And they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nasb@Judges:18:30 @The sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as at other times.

nasb@Judges:18:31 @The sons of Benjamin went out against the people and were drawn away from the city, and they began to strike and kill some of the people as at other times, on the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:32 @The sons of Benjamin said, "They are struck down before us, as at the first." But the sons of Israel said, "Let us flee that we may draw them away from the city to the highways."

nasb@Judges:18:36 @So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. When the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah,

nasb@Judges:18:38 @Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise from the city.

nasb@Judges:18:41 @Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster was close to them.

nasb@Judges:18:44 @Thus 18,000 men of Benjamin fell; all these were valiant warriors.

nasb@Judges:18:46 @So all of Benjamin who fell that day were 25,000 men who draw the sword; all these were valiant warriors.

nasb@Judges:19:2 @So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly.

nasb@Judges:19:6 @And the sons of Israel were sorry for their brother Benjamin and said, "One tribe is cut off from Israel today.

nasb@Judges:19:7" @What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since we have sworn by the LORD not to give them any of our daughters in marriage?"

nasb@Judges:19:9 @For when the people were numbered, behold, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead was there.

nasb@Judges:19:13 @Then the whole congregation sent word and spoke to the sons of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.

nasb@Judges:19:14 @Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had kept alive from the women of Jabesh-gilead; yet they were not enough for them.

nasb@Judges:19:15 @And the people were sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

nasb@Judges:19:16 @Then the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?"

nasb@Judges:19:18" @But we cannot give them wives of our daughters." For the sons of Israel had sworn, saying, "Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin."

nasb@Judges:19:22" @It shall come about, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we shall say to them, 'Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.'"

nasb@Judges:19:23 @The sons of Benjamin did so, and took wives according to their number from those who danced, whom they carried away. And they went and returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the cities and lived in them.

nasb@Judges:19:24 @The sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and each one of them went out from there to his inheritance.

nasb@Ruth:1:1 @Now it came about in the days when the judges governed, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.

nasb@Ruth:1:2 @The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi; and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. Now they entered the land of Moab and remained there.

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

nasb@Ruth:1:9" @May the LORD grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband." Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.

nasb@Ruth:1:10 @And they said to her, "No, but we will surely return with you to your people."

nasb@Ruth:1:13 @would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is harder for me than for you, for the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me."

nasb@Ruth:1:14 @And they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

nasb@Ruth:1:19 @So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was stirred because of them, and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

nasb@Ruth:1:21" @I went out full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has witnessed against me and the Almighty has afflicted me?"

nasb@Ruth:2:1 @Now Naomi had a kinsman of her husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.

nasb@Ruth:2:3 @So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

nasb@Ruth:2:18 @She took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also took it out and gave Naomi what she had left after she was satisfied.

nasb@Ruth:2:3 @Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?

nasb@Ruth:2:2" @Now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maids you were? Behold, he winnows barley at the threshing floor tonight.

nasb@Ruth:2:6 @So she went down to the threshing floor and did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.

nasb@Ruth:2:7 @When Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, and uncovered his feet and lay down.

nasb@Ruth:2:9 @He said, "Who are you?" And she answered, "I am Ruth your maid. So spread your covering over your maid, for you are a close relative."

nasb@Ruth:2:12" @Now it is true I am a close relative; however, there is a relative closer than I.

nasb@Ruth:2:15 @Again he said, "Give me the cloak that is on you and hold it." So she held it, and he measured six measures of barley and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.

nasb@Ruth:3:1 @Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, "Turn aside, friend, sit down here." And he turned aside and sat down.

nasb@Ruth:3:11 @All the people who were in the court, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem.

nasb@Ruth:3:13 @So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.

nasb@1Samuel:1:3 @Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the LORD there.

nasb@1Samuel:1:6 @Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the LORD had closed her womb.

nasb@1Samuel:1:7 @It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the LORD, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat.

nasb@1Samuel:1:8 @Then Elkanah 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 better to you than ten sons?"

nasb@1Samuel:1:10 @She, greatly distressed, prayed to the LORD and wept bitterly.

nasb@1Samuel:1:13 @As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk.

nasb@1Samuel:1:17 @Then Eli answered and said, " Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him."

nasb@1Samuel:1:18 @She said, " Let your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

nasb@1Samuel:1:21 @Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow.

nasb@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD and stay there forever."

nasb@1Samuel:1:23 @Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the LORD confirm His word." So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him.

nasb@1Samuel:1:24 @Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh, although the child was young.

nasb@1Samuel:2:3" @Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.

nasb@1Samuel:2:5" @Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, But those who were hungry cease to hunger. Even the barren gives birth to seven, But she who has many children languishes.

nasb@1Samuel:2:11 @Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

nasb@1Samuel:2:12 @Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the LORD

nasb@1Samuel:2:18 @Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.

nasb@1Samuel:2:20 @Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, "May the LORD give you children from this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD." And they went to their own home.

nasb@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 doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@1Samuel:2:27 @Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, ' Did I not indeed reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?

nasb@1Samuel:2:29 @'Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?'

nasb@1Samuel:3:1 @Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD before Eli. And word from the LORD was rare in those days, visions were infrequent.

nasb@1Samuel:3:2 @It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well),

nasb@1Samuel:3:5 @Then he 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.

nasb@1Samuel:3:6 @The LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he answered, "I did not call, my son, lie down again."

nasb@1Samuel:3:8 @So the LORD called Samuel again for the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli discerned that the LORD was calling the boy.

nasb@1Samuel:3:9 @And Eli said to Samuel, "Go lie down, and it shall be if He calls you, that you shall say, 'Speak, LORD, for Your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

nasb@1Samuel:4:1 @Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped beside Ebenezer while the Philistines camped in Aphek.

nasb@1Samuel:4:3 @When the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, " Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us take to ourselves from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that it may come among us and deliver us from the power of our enemies."

nasb@1Samuel:4:4 @So the people sent to Shiloh, and from there they carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

nasb@1Samuel:4:7 @The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp." And they said, " Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.

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

nasb@1Samuel:4:20 @And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, " Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention.

nasb@1Samuel:5:4 @But when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him.

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

nasb@1Samuel:5:12 @And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

nasb@1Samuel:6:2 @And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, "What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we shall send it to its place."

nasb@1Samuel:6:4 @Then they said, "What shall be the guilt offering which we shall return to Him?" And they said, "Five golden tumors and five golden mice according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for one plague was on all of you and on your lords.

nasb@1Samuel:6:9" @Watch, if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth-shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance."

nasb@1Samuel:6:12 @And the cows took the straight way in the direction of Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Beth-shemesh.

nasb@1Samuel:6:13 @Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they raised their eyes and saw the ark and were glad to see it.

nasb@1Samuel:6:15 @The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices that day to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:7:2 @From the day that the ark remained at Kiriath-jearim, the time was long, for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:7:6 @They gathered to 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 sons of Israel at Mizpah.

nasb@1Samuel:7:7 @Now when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the sons of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

nasb@1Samuel:7:9 @Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it for a whole burnt offering to the LORD; and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel and the LORD answered him.

nasb@1Samuel:7:10 @Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day against the Philistines and confused them, so that they were routed before Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:7:11 @The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them down as far as below Beth-car.

nasb@1Samuel:7:12 @Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."

nasb@1Samuel:7:13 @So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come anymore within the border of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

nasb@1Samuel:7:14 @The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. So there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

nasb@1Samuel:8:2 @Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beersheba.

nasb@1Samuel:8:3 @His sons, however, did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice.

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

nasb@1Samuel:9:4 @He passed through the hill country of Ephraim and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.

nasb@1Samuel:9:7 @Then Saul said to his servant, "But behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is gone from our sack and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:8 @The servant answered Saul again and said, "Behold, I have in my hand a fourth of a shekel of silver; I will give it to the man of God and he will tell us our way."

nasb@1Samuel:9:9 @(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he used to say, "Come, and let us go to the seer"; for he who is called a prophet now was formerly called a seer.)

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

nasb@1Samuel:9:11 @As they went up the slope to the city, they found young women going out to draw water and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:12 @They answered them and said, "He is; see, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come into the city today, for the people have a sacrifice on the high place today.

nasb@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.

nasb@1Samuel:9:19 @Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is on your mind.

nasb@1Samuel:9:20" @ As for your donkeys which were lost three days ago, do not set your mind on them, for they have been found. And for whom is all that is desirable in Israel? Is it not for you and for all your father's household?"

nasb@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 were invited, who were about thirty men.

nasb@1Samuel:9:26 @And they arose early; and at daybreak Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, "Get up, that I may send you away." So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel went out into the street.

nasb@1Samuel:9:27 @As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Say to the servant that he might go ahead of us and pass on, but you remain standing now, that I may proclaim the word of God to you."

nasb@1Samuel:9:2" @When you go from me today, then you will find two men close to Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ' The donkeys which you went to look for have been found.

nasb@1Samuel:9:14 @Now Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, " To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they could not be found, we went to Samuel."

nasb@1Samuel:9:18 @and he said to the sons of Israel, " Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought Israel up from Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.'

nasb@1Samuel:10:1 @Now Nahash the Ammonite came up and besieged Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us and we will serve you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:3 @The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Let us alone for seven days, that we may send messengers throughout the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to deliver us, we will come out to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:4 @Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and spoke these words in the hearing of the people, and all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nasb@1Samuel:10:5 @Now behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen, and he said, "What is the matter with the people that they weep?" So they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

nasb@1Samuel:10:8 @He numbered them in Bezek; and the sons of Israel were 300,000, and the men of Judah 30,000.

nasb@1Samuel:10:9 @They said to the messengers who had come, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will have deliverance.'" So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

nasb@1Samuel:10:11 @The next morning Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp at the morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

nasb@1Samuel:10:12 @Then the people said to Samuel, " Who is he that said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."

nasb@1Samuel:10:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they also offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

nasb@1Samuel:10:8" @ When Jacob went into Egypt and your fathers cried out to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron who brought your fathers out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

nasb@1Samuel:10:25" @ But if you still do wickedly, both you and your king will be swept away."

nasb@1Samuel:11:2 @Now Saul chose for himself 3,000 men of Israel, of which 2,000 were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while 1,000 were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But he sent away the rest of the people, each to his tent.

nasb@1Samuel:11:4 @All Israel heard the news that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines. The people were then summoned to Saul at Gilgal.

nasb@1Samuel:11:6 @When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were hard-pressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in cliffs, in cellars, and in pits.

nasb@1Samuel:11:7 @Also some of the Hebrews crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. But as for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

nasb@1Samuel:11:11 @But Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash,

nasb@1Samuel:11:15 @Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

nasb@1Samuel:11:16 @Now Saul and his son Jonathan and the people who were present with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin while the Philistines camped at Michmash.

nasb@1Samuel:11:20 @So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his hoe.

nasb@1Samuel:11:22 @So it came about on the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hands of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan, but they were found with Saul and his son Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:11:23 @And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

nasb@1Samuel:12:2 @Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

nasb@1Samuel:12:4 @Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

nasb@1Samuel:12:14 @That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about half a furrow in an acre of land.

nasb@1Samuel:12:16 @Now Saul's watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away; and they went here and there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:17 @Saul said to the people who were with him, "Number now and see who has gone from us." And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.

nasb@1Samuel:12:21 @Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines previously, who went up with them all around in the camp, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:12:24 @Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

nasb@1Samuel:12:46 @Then Saul went up from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

nasb@1Samuel:12:49 @Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughters were these- the name of the firstborn Merab and the name of the younger Michal.

nasb@1Samuel:12:6 @Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

nasb@1Samuel:12:33 @But Samuel said, " As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.

nasb@1Samuel:16:8 @When there was war again, David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with great slaughter, so that they fled before him.

nasb@1Samuel:16:12 @So Michal let David down through a window, and he went out and fled and escaped.

nasb@1Samuel:16:18 @Now David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.

nasb@1Samuel:16:22 @Then he himself went to Ramah and came as far as the large well that is in Secu; and he asked and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah."

nasb@1Samuel:16:23 @He proceeded there to Naioth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, so that he went along prophesying continually until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

nasb@1Samuel:17:3 @Yet David vowed again, saying, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.' But truly as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death."

nasb@1Samuel:17:10 @Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:11 @Jonathan said to David, "Come, and let us go out into the field." So both of them went out to the field.

nasb@1Samuel:17:23" @ As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever."

nasb@1Samuel:17:28 @Jonathan then answered Saul, " David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem,

nasb@1Samuel:17:32 @But Jonathan answered Saul his father and said to him, " Why should he be put to death? What has he done?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:35 @Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little lad was with him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:40 @Then Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad and said to him, "Go, bring them to the city."

nasb@1Samuel:17:41 @When the lad was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the more.

nasb@1Samuel:17:42 @Jonathan said to David, " Go in safety, inasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ' The LORD will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.'" Then he rose and departed, while Jonathan went into the city.

nasb@1Samuel:18:4 @The priest answered David and said, "There is no ordinary bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."

nasb@1Samuel:18:5 @David answered the priest and said to him, " Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:8 @David said to Ahimelech, "Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's matter was urgent."

nasb@1Samuel:18:10 @Then David arose and fled that day from Saul, and went to Achish king of Gath.

nasb@1Samuel:19:1 @So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father's household heard of it, they went down there to him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:2 @Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:3 @And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me."

nasb@1Samuel:19:5 @The prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah." So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

nasb@1Samuel:19:6 @Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:11 @Then the king sent someone to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's household, the priests who were in Nob; and all of them came to the king.

nasb@1Samuel:19:12 @Saul said, "Listen now, son of Ahitub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."

nasb@1Samuel:19:14 @Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, even the king's son-in-law, who is captain over your guard, and is honored in your house?

nasb@1Samuel:19:17 @And the king said to the guards who were attending him, "Turn around and put the priests of the LORD to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not reveal it to me." But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hands to attack the priests of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:20:3 @But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?"

nasb@1Samuel:20:4 @Then David inquired of the LORD once more. And the LORD answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand."

nasb@1Samuel:20:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines; and he led away their livestock and struck them with a great slaughter. Thus David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.

nasb@1Samuel:20:13 @Then David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up the pursuit.

nasb@1Samuel:20:16 @And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David at Horesh, and encouraged him in God.

nasb@1Samuel:20:18 @So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD; and David stayed at Horesh while Jonathan went to his house.

nasb@1Samuel:20:24 @Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon.

nasb@1Samuel:20:25 @When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David, and he came down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard it, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.

nasb@1Samuel:20:26 @Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was hurrying to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men to seize them.

nasb@1Samuel:20:28 @So Saul returned from pursuing David and went to meet the Philistines; therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape.

nasb@1Samuel:20:29 @David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of Engedi.

nasb@1Samuel:21:2 @Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

nasb@1Samuel:21:3 @He came to the sheepfolds on the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the inner recesses of the cave.

nasb@1Samuel:21:7 @David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul arose, left the cave, and went on his way.

nasb@1Samuel:21:8 @Now afterward David arose and went out of the cave and called after Saul, saying, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and prostrated himself.

nasb@1Samuel:21:12" @ May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD avenge me on you; but my hand shall not be against you.

nasb@1Samuel:21:15" @ The LORD therefore be judge and decide between you and me; and may He see and plead my cause and deliver me from your hand."

nasb@1Samuel:21:16 @When David had finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, " Is this your voice, my son David?" Then Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

nasb@1Samuel:21:17 @He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have dealt well with me, while I have dealt wickedly with you.

nasb@1Samuel:21:21" @So now swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me and that you will not destroy my name from my father's household."

nasb@1Samuel:21:22 @David swore to Saul. And Saul went to his home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

nasb@1Samuel:22:1 @Then Samuel died; and all Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

nasb@1Samuel:22:7 @'Now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us and we have not insulted them, nor have they missed anything all the days they were in Carmel.

nasb@1Samuel:22:8 @'Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"

nasb@1Samuel:22:10 @But Nabal answered David's servants and said, " Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.

nasb@1Samuel:22:12 @So David's young men retraced their way and went back; and they came and told him according to all these words.

nasb@1Samuel:22:13 @David said to his men, "Each of you gird on his sword." So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.

nasb@1Samuel:22:15" @Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not insulted, nor did we miss anything as long as we went about with them, while we were in the fields.

nasb@1Samuel:22:16" @ They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep.

nasb@1Samuel:22:20 @It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.

nasb@1Samuel:22:23 @When Abigail saw David, she hurried and dismounted from her donkey, and fell on her face before David and bowed herself to the ground.

nasb@1Samuel:22:31 @this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the LORD deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nasb@1Samuel:22:41 @She arose and bowed with her face to the ground and said, "Behold, your maidservant is a maid to wash the feet of my lord's servants."

nasb@1Samuel:22:42 @Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.

nasb@1Samuel:23:2 @So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness of Ziph.

nasb@1Samuel:23:5 @David then arose and came to the place where Saul had camped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; and Saul was lying in the circle of the camp, and the people were camped around him.

nasb@1Samuel:23:7 @So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him.

nasb@1Samuel:23:12 @So David took the spear and the jug of water from beside Saul's head, and they went away, but no one saw or knew it, nor did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a sound sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

nasb@1Samuel:23:13 @Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the mountain at a distance with a large area between them.

nasb@1Samuel:23:14 @David called to the people and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, "Will you not answer, Abner?" Then Abner replied, "Who are you who calls to the king?"

nasb@1Samuel:23:25 @Then Saul said to David, " Blessed are you, my son David; you will both accomplish much and surely prevail." So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.

nasb@1Samuel:24:2 @So David arose and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

nasb@1Samuel:24:8 @Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.

nasb@1Samuel:25:2 @David said to Achish, "Very well, you shall know what your servant can do." So Achish said to David, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."

nasb@1Samuel:25:3 @Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who were mediums and spiritists.

nasb@1Samuel:25:6 @When Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by prophets.

nasb@1Samuel:25:8 @Then Saul disguised himself by putting on other clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, " Conjure up for me, please, and bring up for me whom I shall name to you."

nasb@1Samuel:25:10 @Saul vowed to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nasb@1Samuel:25:14 @He said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe." And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.

nasb@1Samuel:25:15 @Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do."

nasb@1Samuel:25:23 @But he refused and said, " I will not eat." However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to them. So he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.

nasb@1Samuel:25:25 @She brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they arose and went away that night.

nasb@1Samuel:26:1 @Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek, while the Israelites were camping by the spring which is in Jezreel.

nasb@1Samuel:26:2 @And the lords of the Philistines were proceeding on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were proceeding on in the rear with Achish.

nasb@1Samuel:26:4 @But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him, and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Make the man go back, that he may return to his place where you have assigned him, and do not let him go down to battle with us, or in the battle he may become an adversary to us. For with what could this man make himself acceptable to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of these men?

nasb@1Samuel:26:11 @So David arose early, he and his men, to depart in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

nasb@1Samuel:27:2 @and they took captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great, without killing anyone, and carried them off and went their way.

nasb@1Samuel:27:4 @Then David and the people who were with him lifted their voices and wept until there was no strength in them to weep.

nasb@1Samuel:27:6 @Moreover David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

nasb@1Samuel:27:9 @So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those left behind remained.

nasb@1Samuel:27:10 @But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred who were too exhausted to cross the brook Besor remained behind.

nasb@1Samuel:27:14" @We made a raid on the Negev of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire."

nasb@1Samuel:27:15 @Then David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this band?" And he said, "Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this band."

nasb@1Samuel:27:16 @When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

nasb@1Samuel:27:21 @When David came to the two hundred men who were too exhausted to follow David, who had also been left at the brook Besor, and they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him, then David approached the people and greeted them.

nasb@1Samuel:27:22 @Then all the wicked and worthless men among those who went with David said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away and depart."

nasb@1Samuel:27:27 @to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,

nasb@1Samuel:27:28 @and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,

nasb@1Samuel:27:29 @and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,

nasb@1Samuel:27:31 @and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to go."

nasb@1Samuel:28:1 @Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

nasb@1Samuel:28:3 @The battle went heavily against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was badly wounded by the archers.

nasb@1Samuel:28:7 @When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, with those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; then the Philistines came and lived in them.

nasb@1Samuel:28:9 @They cut off his head and stripped off his weapons, and sent them throughout the land of the Philistines, to carry the good news to the house of their idols and to the people.

nasb@1Samuel:28:10 @They put his weapons in the temple of Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.

nasb@2Samuel:1:8" @He said to me, 'Who are you?' And I answered him, ' I am an Amalekite.'

nasb@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so also did all the men who were with him.

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

nasb@2Samuel:1:13 @David said to the young man who told him, "Where are you from?" And he answered, " I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite."

nasb@2Samuel:1:14 @Then David said to him, "How is it you were not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?"

nasb@2Samuel:1:23" @Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their life, And in their death they were not parted; They were swifter than eagles, They were stronger than lions.

nasb@2Samuel:1:27" @ How have the mighty fallen, And the weapons of war perished!"

nasb@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

nasb@2Samuel:2:3 @And David brought up his men who were with him, each with his household; and they lived in the cities of Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:2:10 @Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was king for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David.

nasb@2Samuel:2:12 @Now Abner the son of Ner, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon with the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul.

nasb@2Samuel:2:13 @And Joab the son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.

nasb@2Samuel:2:15 @So they arose and went over by count, twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.

nasb@2Samuel:2:17 @That day the battle was very severe, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.

nasb@2Samuel:2:18 @Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel; and Asahel was as swift-footed as one of the gazelles which is in the field.

nasb@2Samuel:2:20 @Then Abner looked behind him and said, "Is that you, Asahel?" And he answered, "It is I."

nasb@2Samuel:2:23 @However, he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner struck him in the belly with the butt end of the spear, so that the spear came out at his back.

nasb@2Samuel:2:29 @Abner and his men then went through the Arabah all that night; so they crossed the Jordan, walked all morning, and came to Mahanaim.

nasb@2Samuel:2:32 @And they took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb which was in Bethlehem. Then Joab and his men went all night until the day dawned at Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:3:1 @Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David; and David grew steadily stronger, but the house of Saul grew weaker continually.

nasb@2Samuel:3:2 @Sons were born to David at Hebron- his firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;

nasb@2Samuel:7:6 @Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@2Samuel:7:7 @David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:7:14 @He put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@2Samuel:7:17 @Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was secretary.

nasb@2Samuel:7:18 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers.

nasb@2Samuel:8:10" @You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master's grandson may have food; nevertheless Mephibosheth your master's grandson shall eat at my table regularly." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

nasb@2Samuel:8:12 @Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

nasb@2Samuel:9:2 @Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent some of his servants to console him concerning his father. But when David's servants came to the land of the Ammonites,

nasb@2Samuel:9:5 @When they told it to David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then return."

nasb@2Samuel:9:8 @The sons of Ammon came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.

nasb@2Samuel:9:13 @So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans, and they fled before him.

nasb@2Samuel:9:16 @And Hadadezer sent and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, and they came to Helam; and Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer led them.

nasb@2Samuel:9:19 @When all the kings, servants of Hadadezer, saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Arameans feared to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

nasb@2Samuel:10:7 @When Uriah came to him, David asked concerning the welfare of Joab and the people and the state of the war.

nasb@2Samuel:10:8 @Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." And Uriah went out of the king's house, and a present from the king was sent out after him.

nasb@2Samuel:10:13 @Now David called him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk; and in the evening he went out to lie on his bed with his lord's servants, but he did not go down to his house.

nasb@2Samuel:10:16 @So it was as Joab kept watch on the city, that he put Uriah at the place where he knew there were valiant men.

nasb@2Samuel:10:17 @The men of the city went out and fought against Joab, and some of the people among David's servants fell; and Uriah the Hittite also died.

nasb@2Samuel:10:23 @The messenger said to David, "The men prevailed against us and came out against us in the field, but we pressed them as far as the entrance of the gate.

nasb@2Samuel:10:25 @Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall say to Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle against the city stronger and overthrow it'; and so encourage him."

nasb@2Samuel:10:12 @Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said, "There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor.

nasb@2Samuel:10:3" @But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb Which he bought and nourished; And it grew up together with him and his children. It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom, And was like a daughter to him.

nasb@2Samuel:10:4" @Now a traveler came to the rich man, And he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd, To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him; Rather he took the poor man's ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

nasb@2Samuel:10:14" @However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die."

nasb@2Samuel:10:15 @So Nathan went to his house.

nasb@2Samuel:10:16 @David therefore inquired of God for the child; and David fasted and went and lay all night on the ground.

nasb@2Samuel:10:18 @Then it happened on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, "Behold, while the child was still alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. How then can we tell him that the child is dead, since he might do himself harm!"

nasb@2Samuel:10:19 @But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; so David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:10:21 @Then his servants said to him, "What is this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; but when the child died, you arose and ate food."

nasb@2Samuel:10:22 @He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ' Who knows, the LORD may be gracious to me, that the child may live.'

nasb@2Samuel:10:24 @Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her; and she gave birth to a son, and he named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved him

nasb@2Samuel:10:29 @So David gathered all the people and went to Rabbah, fought against it and captured it.

nasb@2Samuel:10:30 @Then he took the crown of their king from his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city in great amounts.

nasb@2Samuel:10:31 @He also brought out the people who were in it, and set them under saws, sharp iron instruments, and iron axes, and made them pass through the brickkiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:11:8 @So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house, and he was lying down. And she took dough, kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

nasb@2Samuel:11:9 @She took the pan and dished them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, " Have everyone go out from me." So everyone went out from him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:12 @But she answered him, "No, my brother, do not violate me, for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this disgraceful thing!

nasb@2Samuel:11:14 @However, he would not listen to her; since he was stronger than she, he violated her and lay with her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:19 @Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her long-sleeved garment which was on her; and she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.

nasb@2Samuel:11:25 @But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you." Although he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:30 @Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

nasb@2Samuel:11:31 @Then the king arose, tore his clothes and lay on the ground; and all his servants were standing by with clothes torn.

nasb@2Samuel:11:34 @Now Absalom had fled. And the young man who was the watchman raised his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road behind him by the side of the mountain.

nasb@2Samuel:11:36 @As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came and lifted their voices and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.

nasb@2Samuel:11:37 @Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

nasb@2Samuel:12:5 @The king said to her, "What is your trouble?" And she answered, "Truly I am a widow, for my husband is dead.

nasb@2Samuel:12:7" @Now behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and they say, 'Hand over the one who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, and destroy the heir also.' Thus they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth."

nasb@2Samuel:12:14" @For we will surely die and are like water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away life, but plans ways so that the banished one will not be cast out from him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:18 @Then the king answered and said to the woman, "Please do not hide anything from me that I am about to ask you." And the woman said, "Let my lord the king please speak."

nasb@2Samuel:12:23 @So Joab arose and went to Geshur and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:12:24 @However the king said, "Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face." So Absalom turned to his own house and did not see the king's face.

nasb@2Samuel:12:26 @When he cut the hair of his head (and it was at the end of every year that he cut it, for it was heavy on him so he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at 200 shekels by the king's weight.

nasb@2Samuel:12:27 @To Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.

nasb@2Samuel:12:32 @Absalom answered Joab, "Behold, I sent for you, saying, 'Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there."' Now therefore, let me see the king's face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him put me to death."

nasb@2Samuel:13:7 @Now it came about at the end of forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:13:8" @For your servant vowed a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying, ' If the LORD shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.'"

nasb@2Samuel:13:9 @The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose and went to Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:13:11 @Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, and they did not know anything.

nasb@2Samuel:13:14 @David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, " Arise and let us flee, for otherwise none of us will escape from Absalom. Go in haste, or he will overtake us quickly and bring down calamity on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

nasb@2Samuel:13:16 @So the king went out and all his household with him. But the king left ten concubines to keep the house.

nasb@2Samuel:13:17 @The king went out and all the people with him, and they stopped at the last house.

nasb@2Samuel:13:21 @But Ittai answered the king and said, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely wherever my lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, there also your servant will be."

nasb@2Samuel:13:22 @Therefore David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." So Ittai the Gittite passed over with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

nasb@2Samuel:13:23 @While all the country was weeping with a loud voice, all the people passed over. The king also passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.

nasb@2Samuel:13:30 @And David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went, and his head was covered and he walked barefoot. Then all the people who were with him each covered his head and went up weeping as they went.

nasb@2Samuel:14:1 @Now when David had passed a little beyond the summit, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them were two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a jug of wine.

nasb@2Samuel:14:6 @He threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David; and all the people and all the mighty men were at his right hand and at his left.

nasb@2Samuel:14:13 @So David and his men went on the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside parallel with him and as he went he cursed and cast stones and threw dust at him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:14 @The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary and he refreshed himself there.

nasb@2Samuel:14:20 @Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your advice. What shall we do?"

nasb@2Samuel:14:22 @So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:14:2" @ I will come upon him while he is weary and exhausted and terrify him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king alone,

nasb@2Samuel:14:6 @When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Shall we carry out his plan? If not, you speak."

nasb@2Samuel:14:12" @So we shall come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.

nasb@2Samuel:14:13" @If he withdraws into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the valley until not even a small stone is found there."

nasb@2Samuel:14:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, and a maidservant would go and tell them, and they would go and tell King David, for they could not be seen entering the city.

nasb@2Samuel:14:18 @But a lad did see them and told Absalom; so the two of them departed quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.

nasb@2Samuel:14:19 @And the woman took a covering and spread it over the well's mouth and scattered grain on it, so that nothing was known.

nasb@2Samuel:14:21 @It came about after they had departed that they came up out of the well and went and told King David; and they said to David, " Arise and cross over the water quickly for thus Ahithophel has counseled against you."

nasb@2Samuel:14:22 @Then David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed the Jordan; and by dawn not even one remained who had not crossed the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:14:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.

nasb@2Samuel:14:25 @Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nasb@2Samuel:14:29 @honey, curds, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him, to eat; for they said, "The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness."

nasb@2Samuel:15:1 @Then David numbered the people who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.

nasb@2Samuel:15:3 @But the people said, " You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city."

nasb@2Samuel:15:4 @Then the king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and thousands.

nasb@2Samuel:15:6 @Then the people went out into the field against Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.

nasb@2Samuel:15:7 @The people of Israel were defeated there before the servants of David, and the slaughter there that day was great, 20,000 men.

nasb@2Samuel:15:9 @Now Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.

nasb@2Samuel:15:20 @But Joab said to him, "You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today because the king's son is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:15:21 @Then Joab said to the Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." So the Cushite bowed to Joab and ran.

nasb@2Samuel:15:24 @Now David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and raised his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running by himself.

nasb@2Samuel:15:28 @Ahimaaz called and said to the king, " All is well." And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, " Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king."

nasb@2Samuel:15:29 @The king said, " Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant, and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was."

nasb@2Samuel:15:32 @Then the king said to the Cushite, " Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And the Cushite answered, " Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be as that young man!"

nasb@2Samuel:15:33 @The king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And thus he said as he walked, " O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!"

nasb@2Samuel:16:1 @Then it was told Joab, "Behold, the king is weeping and mourns for Absalom."

nasb@2Samuel:16:3 @So the people went by stealth into the city that day, as people who are humiliated steal away when they flee in battle.

nasb@2Samuel:16:6 @by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have shown today that princes and servants are nothing to you; for I know this day that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.

nasb@2Samuel:16:7" @Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

nasb@2Samuel:16:9 @All the people were quarreling throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, " The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and saved us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:16:10" @However, Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now then, why are you silent about bringing the king back?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:17 @There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, with Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.

nasb@2Samuel:16:26 @So he answered, "O my lord, the king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said, 'I will saddle a donkey for myself that I may ride on it and go with the king,' because your servant is lame.

nasb@2Samuel:16:31 @Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:35" @I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

nasb@2Samuel:16:42 @Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's expense, or has anything been taken for us?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:43 @But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, " We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you.

nasb@2Samuel:17:1 @Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said, " We have no portion in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nasb@2Samuel:17:3 @Then David came to his house at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and placed them under guard and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them.

nasb@2Samuel:17:25 @and Sheva was scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

nasb@2Samuel:18:2 @So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel made a covenant with them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah).

nasb@2Samuel:18:4 @Then the Gibeonites said to him, " We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul or his house, nor is it for us to put any man to death in Israel." And he said, "I will do for you whatever you say."

nasb@2Samuel:19:13 @Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, while the troop of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@2Samuel:19:15 @David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!"

nasb@2Samuel:19:16 @So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD;

nasb@2Samuel:19:17 @and he said, "Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

nasb@2Samuel:19:18 @Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. And he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name as well as the three.

nasb@2Samuel:19:19 @He was most honored of the thirty, therefore he became their commander; however, he did not attain to the three.

nasb@2Samuel:19:20 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.

nasb@2Samuel:19:21 @He killed an Egyptian, an impressive man. Now the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.

nasb@2Samuel:19:22 @These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name as well as the three mighty men.

nasb@2Samuel:20:4 @Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army went out from the presence of the king to register the people of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:20:7 @and came to the fortress of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites, and they went out to the south of Judah, to Beersheba.

nasb@2Samuel:20:8 @So when they had gone about through the whole land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

nasb@2Samuel:20:9 @And Joab gave the number of the registration of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

nasb@2Samuel:20:13 @So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me."

nasb@2Samuel:20:19 @David went up according to the word of Gad, just as the LORD had commanded.

nasb@2Samuel:20:20 @Araunah looked down and saw the king and his servants crossing over toward him; and Araunah went out and bowed his face to the ground before the king.

nasb@2Samuel:20:24 @However, the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

nasb@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.

nasb@1Kings:1:15 @So Bathsheba went in to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.

nasb@1Kings:1:16 @Then Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself before the king. And the king said, "What do you wish?"

nasb@1Kings:1:29 @The king vowed and said, " As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,

nasb@1Kings:1:30 @surely as I vowed to you by the LORD the God of Israel, saying, 'Your son Solomon shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place'; I will indeed do so this day."

nasb@1Kings:1:31 @Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, and prostrated herself before the king and said, " May my lord King David live forever."

nasb@1Kings:1:36 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! Thus may the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say.

nasb@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 brought him to Gihon.

nasb@1Kings:1:40 @All the people went up after him, and the people were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth shook at their noise.

nasb@1Kings:1:41 @Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is the city making such an uproar?"

nasb@1Kings:1:47" @Moreover, the king's servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!' And the king bowed himself on the bed.

nasb@1Kings:1:49 @Then all the guests of Adonijah were terrified; and they arose and each went on his way.

nasb@1Kings:1:50 @And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, and he arose, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

nasb@1Kings:1:51 @Now it was told Solomon, saying, "Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for behold, 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.'"

nasb@1Kings:2:8" @Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'

nasb@1Kings:2:11 @The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years- seven years he reigned in Hebron and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.

nasb@1Kings:2:15 @So he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:2:18 @Bathsheba said, "Very well; I will speak to the king for you."

nasb@1Kings:2:19 @So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right.

nasb@1Kings:2:22 @King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "And why are you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him also the kingdom-- for he is my older brother--even for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah!"

nasb@1Kings:2:26 @Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, " Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; 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 in everything with which my father was afflicted."

nasb@1Kings:2:28 @Now the news came to Joab, for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he had not followed Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.

nasb@1Kings:2:30 @So Benaiah came to the tent of the LORD and said to him, "Thus the king has said, 'Come out.'" But he said, "No, for I will die here." And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus spoke Joab, and thus he answered me."

nasb@1Kings:2:34 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him and put him to death, and he was buried at his own house in the wilderness.

nasb@1Kings:2:40 @Then Shimei arose and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to look for his servants. And Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath.

nasb@1Kings:2:42 @So the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD and solemnly warn you, saying, 'You will know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, 'The word which I have heard is good.'

nasb@1Kings:2:46 @So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him so that he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hands of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:3:2 @The people were still sacrificing on the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.

nasb@1Kings:3:4 @The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

nasb@1Kings:3:9" @So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"

nasb@1Kings:3:16 @Then two women who were harlots came to the king and stood before him.

nasb@1Kings:3:18" @It happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth to a child, and we were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, only the two of us in the house.

nasb@1Kings:4:23 @ten fat oxen, twenty pasture-fed oxen, a hundred sheep besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened fowl.

nasb@1Kings:4:24 @For he had dominion over everything west of the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings west of the River; and he had peace on all sides around about him.

nasb@1Kings:4:32 @He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005.

nasb@1Kings:5:11 @Solomon then gave Hiram 20,000 kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of beaten oil; thus Solomon would give Hiram year by year.

nasb@1Kings:5:12 @The LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.

nasb@1Kings:5:14 @He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in relays; they were in Lebanon a month and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the forced laborers.

nasb@1Kings:5:15 @Now Solomon had 70,000 transporters, and 80,000 hewers of stone in the mountains,

nasb@1Kings:5:16 @besides Solomon's 3,300 chief deputies who were over the project and who ruled over the people who were doing the work.

nasb@1Kings:6:2 @As for the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, its length was sixty cubits and its width twenty cubits and its height thirty cubits.

nasb@1Kings:6:3 @The porch in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits in length, corresponding to the width of the house, and its depth along the front of the house was ten cubits.

nasb@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest story was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around in order that the beams would not be inserted in the walls of the house.

nasb@1Kings:6:8 @The doorway for the lowest side chamber was on the right side of the house; and they would go up by winding stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.

nasb@1Kings:6:10 @He also built the stories against the whole house, each five cubits high; and they were fastened to the house with timbers of cedar.

nasb@1Kings:6:13" @ I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."

nasb@1Kings:6:16 @He built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, even as the most holy place.

nasb@1Kings:6:18 @There was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, there was no stone seen.

nasb@1Kings:6:20 @The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar.

nasb@1Kings:6:24 @Five cubits was the one wing of the cherub and five cubits the other wing of the cherub; from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing were ten cubits.

nasb@1Kings:6:25 @The other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubim were of the same measure and the same form.

nasb@1Kings:6:27 @He placed the cherubim in the midst of the inner house, and the wings of the cherubim were spread out, so that the wing of the one was touching the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub was touching the other wall. So their wings were touching each other in the center of the house.

nasb@1Kings:6:29 @Then he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved engravings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, inner and outer sanctuaries.

nasb@1Kings:6:32 @So he made two doors of olive wood, and he carved on them carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.

nasb@1Kings:6:35 @He carved on it cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold evenly applied on the engraved work.

nasb@1Kings:7:3 @It was paneled with cedar above the side chambers which were on the 45 pillars, 15 in each row.

nasb@1Kings:7:4 @There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

nasb@1Kings:7:9 @All these were of costly stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

nasb@1Kings:7:11 @And above were costly stones, stone cut according to measure, and cedar.

nasb@1Kings:7:15 @He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.

nasb@1Kings:7:17 @There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital.

nasb@1Kings:7:18 @So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.

nasb@1Kings:7:19 @The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits.

nasb@1Kings:7:20 @There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals.

nasb@1Kings:7:24 @Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest.

nasb@1Kings:7:25 @It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.

nasb@1Kings:7:28 @This was the design of the stands- they had borders, even borders between the frames,

nasb@1Kings:7:29 @and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

nasb@1Kings:7:30 @Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.

nasb@1Kings:7:31 @Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

nasb@1Kings:7:32 @The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

nasb@1Kings:7:33 @The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

nasb@1Kings:7:34 @Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.

nasb@1Kings:7:35 @On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it.

nasb@1Kings:7:44 @and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea;

nasb@1Kings:7:45 @and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.

nasb@1Kings:7:46 @In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

nasb@1Kings:7:47 @Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.

nasb@1Kings:7:49 @and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold;

nasb@1Kings:8:4 @They brought up the ark of the LORD and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils, which were in the tent, and the priests and the Levites brought them up.

nasb@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen they could not be counted or numbered.

nasb@1Kings:8:8 @But the poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; they are there to this day.

nasb@1Kings:8:12 @Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

nasb@1Kings:14:8 @and tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you-- yet you have not been like My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only that which was right in My sight;

nasb@1Kings:14:9 @you also have done more evil than all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back--

nasb@1Kings:14:10 @therefore behold, I am bringing calamity on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male person, both bond and free in Israel, and I will make a clean sweep of the house of Jeroboam, as one sweeps away dung until it is all gone.

nasb@1Kings:14:20 @The time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

nasb@1Kings:14:24 @There were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD dispossessed before the sons of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:14:30 @There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

nasb@1Kings:15:6 @There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

nasb@1Kings:15:7 @Now the rest of the acts of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

nasb@1Kings:15:9 @So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam the king of Israel, Asa began to reign as king of Judah.

nasb@1Kings:15:14 @But the high places were not taken away; nevertheless the heart of Asa was wholly devoted to the LORD all his days.

nasb@1Kings:15:16 @Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

nasb@1Kings:15:17 @Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.

nasb@1Kings:15:18 @Then Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,

nasb@1Kings:15:19" @Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."

nasb@1Kings:15:27 @Then Baasha the son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against him, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.

nasb@1Kings:15:32 @There was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

nasb@1Kings:15:33 @In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel at Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.

nasb@1Kings:15:8 @In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel at Tirzah, and reigned two years.

nasb@1Kings:15:10 @Then Zimri went in and struck him and put him to death in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:15 @In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days at Tirzah. Now the people were camped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

nasb@1Kings:15:16 @The people who were camped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king." Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

nasb@1Kings:15:17 @Then Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:18 @When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king's house and burned the king's house over him with fire, and died,

nasb@1Kings:15:21 @Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts- half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; the other half followed Omri.

nasb@1Kings:15:22 @But the people who followed Omri prevailed over the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. And Tibni died and Omri became king.

nasb@1Kings:15:23 @In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel and reigned twelve years; he reigned six years at Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:25 @Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:15:27 @Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did and his might which he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

nasb@1Kings:15:29 @Now Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

nasb@1Kings:15:30 @Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD more than all who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:15:31 @It came about, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went to serve Baal and worshiped him.

nasb@1Kings:15:33 @Ahab also made the Asherah. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

nasb@1Kings:16:5 @So he went and did according to the word of the LORD, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.

nasb@1Kings:16:10 @So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink."

nasb@1Kings:16:12 @But she said, " As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."

nasb@1Kings:16:15 @So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days.

nasb@1Kings:17:2 @So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:17:5 @Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle."

nasb@1Kings:17:6 @So they divided the land between them to survey it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself.

nasb@1Kings:17:10" @ As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent to search for you; and when they said, 'He is not here,' he made the kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you.

nasb@1Kings:17:16 @So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

nasb@1Kings:17:18 @He said, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, because you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and you have followed the Baals.

nasb@1Kings:17:21 @Elijah came near to all the people and said, " How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.

nasb@1Kings:17:24" @Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD, and the God who answers by fire, He is God." And all the people said, " That is a good idea."

nasb@1Kings:17:26 @Then they took the ox which was given them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon saying, "O Baal, answer us." But there was no voice and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they made.

nasb@1Kings:17:29 @When midday was past, they raved until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.

nasb@1Kings:17:31 @Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, " Israel shall be your name."

nasb@1Kings:17:35 @The water flowed around the altar and he also filled the trench with water.

nasb@1Kings:17:37" @Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again."

nasb@1Kings:17:41 @Now Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower."

nasb@1Kings:17:42 @So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees.

nasb@1Kings:17:43 @He said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go back" seven times.

nasb@1Kings:17:44 @It came about at the seventh time, that he said, "Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.'"

nasb@1Kings:17:45 @In a little while the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel.

nasb@1Kings:18:4 @But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers."

nasb@1Kings:18:8 @So he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God.

nasb@1Kings:18:13 @When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nasb@1Kings:18:18" @ Yet I will leave 7,000 in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him."

nasb@1Kings:18:19 @So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah passed over to him and threw his mantle on him.

nasb@1Kings:18:21 @So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him.

nasb@1Kings:19:1 @Now Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria and fought against it.

nasb@1Kings:19:14 @Ahab said, "By whom?" So he said, "Thus says the LORD, 'By the young men of the rulers of the provinces.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" And he answered, "You."

nasb@1Kings:19:15 @Then he mustered the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and there were 232; and after them he mustered all the people, even all the sons of Israel, 7,000.

nasb@1Kings:19:16 @They went out at noon, while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the temporary shelters with the thirty-two kings who helped him.

nasb@1Kings:19:17 @The young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out and they told him, saying, "Men have come out from Samaria."

nasb@1Kings:19:19 @So these went out from the city, the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and the army which followed them.

nasb@1Kings:19:21 @The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.

nasb@1Kings:19:23 @Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, " Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we; but rather let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.

nasb@1Kings:19:25 @and muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they." And he listened to their voice and did so.

nasb@1Kings:19:26 @At the turn of the year, Ben-hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

nasb@1Kings:19:27 @The sons of Israel were mustered and were provisioned and went to meet them; and the sons of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the country.

nasb@1Kings:19:30 @But the rest fled to Aphek into the city, and the wall fell on 27,000 men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled and came into the city into an inner chamber.

nasb@1Kings:19:31 @His servants said to him, "Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings, please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save your life."

nasb@1Kings:19:39 @As the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, 'Guard this man; if for any reason he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'

nasb@1Kings:19:43 @So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:20:8 @So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent letters to the elders and to the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city.

nasb@1Kings:20:20 @Ahab said to Elijah, " Have you found me, O my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:20:21" @Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will utterly sweep you away, and will cut off from Ahab every male, both bond and free in Israel;

nasb@1Kings:20:27 @It came about when Ahab heard these words, that he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went about despondently.

nasb@1Kings:21:1 @Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.

nasb@1Kings:21:3 @Now the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we are still doing nothing to take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"

nasb@1Kings:21:7 @But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here that we may inquire of him?"

nasb@1Kings:21:8 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

nasb@1Kings:21:10 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

nasb@1Kings:21:12 @All the prophets were prophesying thus, saying, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king."

nasb@1Kings:21:13 @Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, "Behold now, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably."

nasb@1Kings:21:15 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain?" And he answered him, " Go up and succeed, and the LORD will give it into the hand of the king."

nasb@1Kings:21:29 @So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.

nasb@1Kings:21:30 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, " I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.

nasb@1Kings:21:42 @Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nasb@1Kings:21:43 @He walked in all the way of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from it, doing right in the sight of the LORD. However, the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.

nasb@1Kings:21:45 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he showed and how he warred, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

nasb@1Kings:21:48 @Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

nasb@2Kings:1:8 @They answered him, " He was a hairy man with a leather girdle bound about his loins." And he said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite."

nasb@2Kings:1:9 @Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him, and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he said to him, "O man of God, the king says, 'Come down.'"

nasb@2Kings:1:13 @So he again sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. When the third captain of fifty went up, he came and bowed down on his knees before Elijah, and begged him and said to him, "O man of God, please let my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight.

nasb@2Kings:1:15 @The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him; do not be afraid of him." So he arose and went down with him to the king.

nasb@2Kings:2:1 @And it came about when the LORD was about to take up Elijah by a whirlwind to heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

nasb@2Kings:2:2 @Elijah said to Elisha, " Stay here please, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel." But Elisha said, " As the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.

nasb@2Kings:2:3 @Then the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he said, "Yes, I know; be still."

nasb@2Kings:2:5 @The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, " Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he answered, "Yes, I know; be still."

nasb@2Kings:2:6 @Then Elijah said to him, "Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan." And he said, "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So the two of them went on.

nasb@2Kings:2:7 @Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.

nasb@2Kings:2:8 @Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

nasb@2Kings:2:11 @As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.

nasb@2Kings:2:14 @He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, "Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over.

nasb@2Kings:2:15 @Now when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

nasb@2Kings:2:21 @He went out to the spring of water and threw salt in it and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'I have purified these waters; there shall not be from there death or unfruitfulness any longer.'"

nasb@2Kings:2:23 @Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!"

nasb@2Kings:2:25 @He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:3:1 @Now Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

nasb@2Kings:3:6 @And King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time and mustered all Israel.

nasb@2Kings:3:7 @Then he went and sent word to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?" And he said, "I will go up; I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

nasb@2Kings:3:8 @He said, "Which way shall we go up?" And he answered, "The way of the wilderness of Edom."

nasb@2Kings:3:9 @So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army or for the cattle that followed them.

nasb@2Kings:3:11 @But Jehoshaphat said, " Is there not a prophet of the LORD here, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?" And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, " Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who used to pour water on the hands of Elijah."

nasb@2Kings:3:12 @Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the LORD is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

nasb@2Kings:3:14 @Elisha said, " As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you.

nasb@2Kings:3:21 @Now all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. And all who were able to put on armor and older were summoned and stood on the border.

nasb@2Kings:3:24 @But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites arose and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land, slaughtering the Moabites.

nasb@2Kings:3:25 @Thus they destroyed the cities; and each one threw a stone on every piece of good land and filled it. So they stopped all the springs of water and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth only they left its stones; however, the slingers went about it and struck it.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:22 @All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office of trust.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:24 @The gatekeepers were on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:25 @Their relatives in their villages were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them;

nasb@1Chronicles:9:26 @for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:27 @They spent the night around the house of God, because the watch was committed to them; and they were in charge of opening it morning by morning.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:32 @Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites were over the showbread to prepare it every sabbath.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:33 @Now these are the singers, heads of fathers' households of the Levites, who lived in the chambers of the temple free from other service; for they were engaged in their work day and night.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:34 @These were heads of fathers' households of the Levites according to their generations, chief men, who lived in Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:9:44 @Azel had six sons whose names are these- Azrikam, Bocheru and Ishmael and Sheariah and Obadiah and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:7 @When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:11 @Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:2" @In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD your God said to you, ' You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be prince over My people Israel.'"

nasb@1Chronicles:10:4 @Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem ( that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:6 @Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:7 @Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:13 @He was with David at Pasdammim when the Philistines were gathered together there to battle, and there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:15 @Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:17 @David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"

nasb@1Chronicles:10:18 @So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD;

nasb@1Chronicles:10:19 @and he said, "Be it far from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:20 @As for Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the thirty, and he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them; and he had a name as well as the thirty.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:21 @Of the three in the second rank he was the most honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the first three.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:22 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:23 @He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature five cubits tall. Now in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam, but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:24 @These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name as well as the three mighty men.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:26 @Now the mighty men of the armies were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

nasb@1Chronicles:11:1 @Now these are the ones who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still restricted because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men who helped him in war.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:2 @They were equipped with bows, using both the right hand and the left to sling stones and to shoot arrows from the bow; they were Saul's kinsmen from Benjamin.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:8 @From the Gadites there came over to David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear, and whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:14 @These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army; he who was least was equal to a hundred and the greatest to a thousand.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:15 @These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks and they put to flight all those in the valleys, both to the east and to the west.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:17 @David went out to meet them, and said to them, "If you come peacefully to me to help me, my heart shall be united with you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look on it and decide."

nasb@1Chronicles:11:18 @Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was the chief of the thirty, and he said, "We are yours, O David, And with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to him who helps you; Indeed, your God helps you!" Then David received them and made them captains of the band.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:20 @As he went to Ziklag there defected to him from Manasseh- Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands who belonged to Manasseh.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:21 @They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:24 @The sons of Judah who bore shield and spear were 6,800, equipped for war.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:32 @Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:33 @Of Zebulun, there were 50,000 who went out in the army, who could draw up in battle formation with all kinds of weapons of war and helped David with an undivided heart.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:38 @All these, being men of war who could draw up in battle formation, came to Hebron with a perfect heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one mind to make David king.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:39 @They were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their kinsmen had prepared for them.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:40 @Moreover those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought food on donkeys, camels, mules and on oxen, great quantities of flour cakes, fig cakes and bunches of raisins, wine, oil, oxen and sheep. There was joy indeed in Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:3 @and let us bring back the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul."

nasb@1Chronicles:12:6 @David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the LORD who is enthroned above the cherubim, where His name is called.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:8 @David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, even with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals and with trumpets.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:8 @When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:12 @They abandoned their gods there; so David gave the order and they were burned with fire.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:17 @Then the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all the nations.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:13" @ Because you did not carry it at the first, the LORD our God made an outburst on us, for we did not seek Him according to the ordinance."

nasb@1Chronicles:14:19 @So the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan were appointed to sound aloud cymbals of bronze;

nasb@1Chronicles:14:23 @Berechiah and Elkanah were gatekeepers for the ark.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:24 @Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah also were gatekeepers for the ark.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:25 @So it was David, with the elders of Israel and the captains over thousands, who went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom with joy.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:26 @Because God was helping the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:27 @Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen with all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers. David also wore an ephod of linen.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:19 @When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it,

nasb@1Chronicles:15:41 @With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His lovingkindness is everlasting.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:42 @And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:1 @And it came about, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Behold, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under curtains."

nasb@1Chronicles:16:4" @Go and tell David My servant, 'Thus says the LORD, " You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in;

nasb@1Chronicles:16:5 @for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but I have gone from tent to tent and from one dwelling place to another.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:9" @I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly,

nasb@1Chronicles:16:16 @Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, " Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far?

nasb@1Chronicles:16:18" @What more can David still say to You concerning the honor bestowed on Your servant? For You know Your servant.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:20" @O LORD, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:21" @And what one nation in the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make You a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt?

nasb@1Chronicles:17:3 @David also defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his rule to the Euphrates River.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:6 @Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:7 @David took the shields of gold which were carried by the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:13 @Then he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:16 @and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was secretary;

nasb@1Chronicles:17:17 @and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and the sons of David were chiefs at the king's side.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:2 @Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun to console him.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:5 @Then certain persons went and told David about the men. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then return."

nasb@1Chronicles:18:9 @The sons of Ammon came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:14 @So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans, and they fled before him.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:16 @When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer leading them.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:19 @So when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. Thus the Arameans were not willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:2 @David took the crown of their king from his head, and he found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:3 @He brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:4 @Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:5 @And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:6 @Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:8 @These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:4 @Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore, Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:5 @Joab gave the number of the census of all the people to David. And all Israel were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword; and Judah was 470,000 men who drew the sword.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:12 @either three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.' Now, therefore, consider what answer I shall return to Him who sent me."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:16 @Then David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:19 @So David went up at the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:20 @Now Ornan turned back and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. And Ornan was threshing wheat.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:21 @As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out from the threshing floor and prostrated himself before David with his face to the ground.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:25 @So David gave Ornan 600 shekels of gold by weight for the site.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:26 @Then David built an altar to the LORD there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And he called to the LORD and He answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:28 @At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifice there.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:29 @For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were in the high place at Gibeon at that time.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:2 @So David gave orders to gather the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, and he set stonecutters to hew out stones to build the house of God.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:3 @David prepared large quantities of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gates and for the clamps, and more bronze than could be weighed;

nasb@1Chronicles:21:14" @Now behold, with great pains I have prepared for the house of the LORD 100,000 talents of gold and 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond weight, for they are in great quantity; also timber and stone I have prepared, and you may add to them.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:13" @Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:14" @But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:15" @For we are sojourners before You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:16" @O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy name, it is from Your hand, and all is Yours.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:20 @Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." And all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed low and did homage to the LORD and to the king.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:25 @The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him royal majesty which had not been on any king before him in Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:30 @with all his reign, his power, and the circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the lands.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:1:4 @However, David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:1:11 @God said to Solomon, "Because you had this in mind, and did not ask for riches, wealth or honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor have you even asked for long life, but you have asked for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may rule My people over whom I have made you king,

nasb@2Chronicles:1:12 @wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings who were before you has possessed nor those who will come after you."

nasb@2Chronicles:1:13 @So Solomon went from the high place which was at Gibeon, from the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:16 @Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders procured them from Kue for a price.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:3 @Then Solomon sent word to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, " As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedars to build him a house to dwell in, so do for me.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:11 @Then Huram, king of Tyre, answered in a letter sent to Solomon- " Because the LORD loves His people, He has made you king over them."

nasb@2Chronicles:2:12 @Then Huram continued, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who will build a house for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:13" @Now I am sending Huram-abi, a skilled man, endowed with understanding,

nasb@2Chronicles:2:16" @ We will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon and bring it to you on rafts by sea to Joppa, so that you may carry it up to Jerusalem."

nasb@2Chronicles:2:17 @Solomon numbered all the aliens who were in the land of Israel, following the census which his father David had taken; and 153,600 were found.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:3 @Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits, according to the old standard was sixty cubits, and the width twenty cubits.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:4 @The porch which was in front of the house was as long as the width of the house, twenty cubits, and the height 120; and inside he overlaid it with pure gold.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:8 @Now he made the room of the holy of holies- its length across the width of the house was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to 600 talents.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:9 @The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He also overlaid the upper rooms with gold.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:11 @The wingspan of the cherubim was twenty cubits; the wing of one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:13 @The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet facing the main room.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:1 @Then he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width and ten cubits in height.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:3 @Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast in one piece.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:4 @It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inwards.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:12 @the two pillars, the bowls and the two capitals on top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on top of the pillars,

nasb@2Chronicles:4:13 @and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the pillars.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:15 @and the one sea with the twelve oxen under it.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:17 @On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:18 @Thus Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:19 @Solomon also made all the things that were in the house of God- even the golden altar, the tables with the bread of the Presence on them,

nasb@2Chronicles:4:21 @the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold, of purest gold;

nasb@2Chronicles:5:5 @They brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils which were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:5:9 @The poles were so long that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen in front of the inner sanctuary, but they could not be seen outside; and they are there to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:11 @When the priests came forth from the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard to divisions),

nasb@2Chronicles:5:12 @and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets

nasb@2Chronicles:5:13 @in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the LORD saying, " He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting," then the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:6 @Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:2" @I have built You a lofty house, And a place for Your dwelling forever."

nasb@2Chronicles:5:8" @But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:18" @But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:21" @Listen to the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place; hear from Your dwelling place, from heaven; hear and forgive.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:30 @then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:33 @then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, and fear You as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:37 @if they take thought in the land where they are taken captive, and repent and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, 'We have sinned, we have committed iniquity and have acted wickedly';

nasb@2Chronicles:5:39 @then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, their prayer and supplications, and maintain their cause and forgive Your people who have sinned against You.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:3 @All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the LORD upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the LORD, saying, " Truly He is good, truly His lovingkindness is everlasting."

nasb@2Chronicles:6:10 @Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their tents, rejoicing and happy of heart because of the goodness that the LORD had shown to David and to Solomon and to His people Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:1 @Now it came about at the end of the twenty years in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house

nasb@2Chronicles:7:3 @Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:5 @He also built upper Beth-horon and lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls, gates and bars;

nasb@2Chronicles:7:7 @All of the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,

nasb@2Chronicles:7:8 @namely, from their descendants who were left after them in the land whom the sons of Israel had not destroyed, them Solomon raised as forced laborers to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:9 @But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel; they were men of war, his chief captains and commanders of his chariots and his horsemen.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:10 @These were the chief officers of King Solomon, two hundred and fifty who ruled over the people.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:11 @Then 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 dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy where the ark of the LORD has entered."

nasb@2Chronicles:7:13 @and did so according to the daily rule, offering them up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, the new moons and the three annual feasts--the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:17 @Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the seashore in the land of Edom.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:18 @And Huram by his servants sent him ships and servants who knew the sea; and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and took from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold and brought them to King Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:2 @Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from Solomon which he did not explain to her.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:4 @the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and his stairway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, she was breathless.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:9 @Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great amount of spices and precious stones; there had never been spice like that which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:12 @King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire which she requested besides a return for what she had brought to the king. Then she turned and went to her own land with her servants.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

nasb@2Chronicles:8:18 @There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:19 @Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:20 @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 valuable in the days of Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:21 @For the king had ships which went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:23 @And all the kings of the earth were seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:24 @They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses and mules, so much year by year.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:28 @And they were bringing horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all countries.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:1 @Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:4" @Your father made our yoke hard; now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."

nasb@2Chronicles:9:6 @Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?"

nasb@2Chronicles:9:9 @So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

nasb@2Chronicles:9:13 @The king answered them harshly, and King Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the elders.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:16 @When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them the people answered the king, saying, " What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel; Now look after your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:1 @Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:13 @Moreover, the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him from all their districts.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:16 @Those from all the tribes of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the LORD God of Israel followed them to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:21 @Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom more than all his other wives and concubines. For he had taken eighteen wives and sixty concubines and fathered twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:3 @with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. And the people who came with him from Egypt were without number- the Lubim, the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:8" @But they will become his slaves so that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."

nasb@2Chronicles:11:12 @And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and also conditions were good in Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:15 @Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, according to genealogical enrollment? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:2 @He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:3 @Abijah began the battle with an army of valiant warriors, 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in battle formation against him with 800,000 chosen men who were valiant warriors.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:10" @But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the sons of Aaron are ministering to the LORD as priests, and the Levites attend to their work.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:11" @Every morning and evening they burn to the LORD burnt offerings and fragrant incense, and the showbread is set on the clean table, and the golden lampstand with its lamps is ready to light every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken Him.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:14 @When Judah turned around, behold, they were attacked both front and rear; so they cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:18 @Thus the sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the sons of Judah conquered because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:21 @But Abijah became powerful; and took fourteen wives to himself, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:7 @For he said to Judah, " Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:8 @Now Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 from Benjamin, bearing shields and wielding bows; all of them were valiant warriors.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:10 @So Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up in battle formation in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:11 @Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; let not man prevail against You."

nasb@2Chronicles:13:13 @Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar; and so many Ethiopians fell that they could not recover, for they were shattered before the LORD and before His army. And they carried away very much plunder.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:2 @and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin- the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:5" @ In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:17 @But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa's heart was blameless all his days.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:3" @Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."

nasb@2Chronicles:15:8" @Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:3 @The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the example of his father David's earlier days and did not seek the Baals,

nasb@2Chronicles:16:4 @but sought the God of his father, followed His commandments, and did not act as Israel did.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:9 @They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.

nasb@2Chronicles:16:10 @Now the dread of the LORD was on all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:2 @Some years later he went down to visit Ahab at Samaria. And Ahab slaughtered many sheep and oxen for him and the people who were with him, and induced him to go up against Ramoth-gilead.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:3 @Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?" And he said to him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people, and we will be with you in the battle."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:5 @Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for God will give it into the hand of the king."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:6 @But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here that we may inquire of him?"

nasb@2Chronicles:17:7 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me but always evil. He is Micaiah, son of Imla." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:9 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:12 @Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, "Behold, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. So please let your word be like one of them and speak favorably."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:14 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" He said, "Go up and succeed, for they will be given into your hand."

nasb@2Chronicles:17:28 @So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up against Ramoth-gilead.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:29 @The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:2 @Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, " Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD and so bring wrath on yourself from the LORD?

nasb@2Chronicles:18:4 @So Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem and went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim and brought them back to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:10" @ Whenever any dispute comes to you from your brethren who live in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them so that they may not be guilty before the LORD, and wrath may not come on you and your brethren. Thus you shall do and you will not be guilty.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:6 @and he said, "O LORD, the God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? And are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:21 @When he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the LORD and those who praised Him in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, " Give thanks to the LORD, for His lovingkindness is everlasting."

nasb@2Chronicles:19:22 @When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; so they were routed.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:25 @When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found much among them, including goods, garments and valuable things which they took for themselves, more than they could carry. And they were three days taking the spoil because there was so much.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:31 @Now Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:33 @The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:19:37 @Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." So the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish.

nasb@2Chronicles:20:2 @He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat- Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azaryahu, Michael and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:4 @He did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab, for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:5 @He also walked according to their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to wage war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:6 @So he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:7 @Now the destruction of Ahaziah was from God, in that he went to Joram. For when he came, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:9 @He also sought Ahaziah, and they caught him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, put him to death and buried him. For they said, "He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So there was no one of the house of Ahaziah to retain the power of the kingdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:21:11 @But Jehoshabeath the king's daughter took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons who were being put to death, and placed him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she would not put him to death.

nasb@2Chronicles:22:14 @Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were appointed over the army and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, put to death with the sword." For the priest said, "Let her not be put to death in the house of the LORD."

nasb@2Chronicles:22:17 @And all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down, and they broke in pieces his altars and his images, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:5 @Moreover, Amaziah assembled Judah and appointed them according to their fathers' households under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds throughout Judah and Benjamin; and he took a census of those from twenty years old and upward and found them to be 300,000 choice men, able to go to war and handle spear and shield.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:8" @But if you do go, do it, be strong for the battle; yet God will bring you down before the enemy, for God has power to help and to bring down."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:9 @Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?" And the man of God answered, " The LORD has much more to give you than this."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:11 @Now Amaziah strengthened himself and led his people forth, and went to the Valley of Salt and struck down 10,000 of the sons of Seir.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:12 @The sons of Judah also captured 10,000 alive and brought them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from the top of the cliff, so that they were all dashed to pieces.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:14 @Now after Amaziah came from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought the gods of the sons of Seir, set them up as his gods, bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:16 @As he was talking with him, the king said to him, "Have we appointed you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be struck down?" Then the prophet stopped and said, "I know that God has planned to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel."

nasb@2Chronicles:24:21 @So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh, which belonged to Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:24:24 @He took all the gold and silver and all the utensils which were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:6 @Now he went out and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath and the wall of Jabneh and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the area of Ashdod and among the Philistines.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:9 @Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate and at the Valley Gate and at the corner buttress and fortified them.

nasb@2Chronicles:25:10 @He built towers in the wilderness and hewed many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowland and in the plain. He also had plowmen and vinedressers in the hill country and the fertile fields, for he loved the soil.

nasb@2Chronicles:35:20 @Those who had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia,

nasb@2Chronicles:35:21 @to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath until seventy years were complete.

nasb@Ezra:0:11 @All the articles of gold and silver numbered 5,400. Sheshbazzar brought them all up with the exiles who went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezra:1:58 @All the temple servants and the sons of Solomon's servants were 392.

nasb@Ezra:1:59 @Now these are those who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan and Immer, but they were not able to give evidence of their fathers' households and their descendants, whether they were of Israel-

nasb@Ezra:1:62 @These searched among their ancestral registration, but they could not be located; therefore they were considered unclean and excluded from the priesthood.

nasb@Ezra:1:66 @Their horses were 736; their mules, 245;

nasb@Ezra:2:1 @Now when the seventh month came, and the sons of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezra:2:3 @So they set up the altar on its foundation, for they were terrified because of the peoples of the lands; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, burnt offerings morning and evening.

nasb@Ezra:2:5 @and afterward there was a continual burnt offering, also for the new moons and for all the fixed festivals of the LORD that were consecrated, and from everyone who offered a freewill offering to the LORD.

nasb@Ezra:2:8 @Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all who came from the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites from twenty years and older to oversee the work of the house of the LORD.

nasb@Ezra:2:12 @Yet many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' households, the old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, while many shouted aloud for joy,

nasb@Ezra:2:13 @so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the shout of joy from the sound of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard far away.

nasb@Ezra:3:1 @Now when the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the people of the exile were building a temple to the LORD God of Israel,

nasb@Ezra:3:2 @they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of fathers' households, and said to them, "Let us build with you, for we, like you, seek your God; and we have been sacrificing to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here."

nasb@Ezra:3:3 @But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of fathers' households of Israel said to them, " You have nothing in common with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves will together build to the LORD God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia has commanded us."

nasb@Ezra:3:14" @Now because we are in the service of the palace, and it is not fitting for us to see the king's dishonor, therefore we have sent and informed the king,

nasb@Ezra:3:16" @We inform the king that if that city is rebuilt and the walls finished, as a result you will have no possession in the province beyond the River."

nasb@Ezra:3:17 @Then the king sent an answer to Rehum the commander, to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their colleagues who live in Samaria and in the rest of the provinces beyond the River- "Peace. And now

nasb@Ezra:3:20 @that mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem, governing all the provinces beyond the River, and that tribute, custom and toll were paid to them.

nasb@Ezra:3:23 @Then as soon as the copy of King Artaxerxes' document was read before Rehum and Shimshai the scribe and their colleagues, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews and stopped them by force of arms.

nasb@Ezra:4:1 @When the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them,

nasb@Ezra:4:2 @then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak arose and began to rebuild the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them supporting them.

nasb@Ezra:4:4 @Then we told them accordingly what the names of the men were who were reconstructing this building.

nasb@Ezra:4:6 @This is the copy of the letter which Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, and Shethar-bozenai and his colleagues the officials, who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king.

nasb@Ezra:4:8" @Let it be known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with huge stones, and beams are being laid in the walls; and this work is going on with great care and is succeeding in their hands.

nasb@Ezra:4:9" @Then we asked those elders and said to them thus, 'Who issued you a decree to rebuild this temple and to finish this structure?'

nasb@Ezra:4:10" @We also asked them their names so as to inform you, and that we might write down the names of the men who were at their head.

nasb@Ezra:4:11" @Thus they answered us, saying, 'We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth and are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished.

nasb@Ezra:4:13 @'However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God.

nasb@Ezra:4:14 @'Also the gold and silver utensils of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, these King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon and they were given to one whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor.

nasb@Ezra:5:1 @Then King Darius issued a decree, and search was made in the archives, where the treasures were stored in Babylon.

nasb@Ezra:5:12" @May the God who has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who attempts to change it, so as to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree, let it be carried out with all diligence!"

nasb@Ezra:5:14 @And the elders of the Jews were successful in building through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they finished building according to the command of the God of Israel and the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

nasb@Ezra:5:20 @For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves together; all of them were pure. Then they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, both for their brothers the priests and for themselves.

nasb@Ezra:6:1 @Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, there went up Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,

nasb@Ezra:6:6 @This Ezra went up from Babylon, and he was a scribe skilled in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given; and the king granted him all he requested because the hand of the LORD his God was upon him.

nasb@Ezra:6:7 @Some of the sons of Israel and some of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers and the temple servants went up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.

nasb@Ezra:6:15 @and to bring the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,

nasb@Ezra:6:24" @We also inform you that it is not allowed to impose tax, tribute or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim or servants of this house of God.

nasb@Ezra:7:1 @Now these are the heads of their fathers' households and the genealogical enrollment of those who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of King Artaxerxes-

nasb@Ezra:7:3 @of the sons of Shecaniah who was of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah and with him 150 males who were in the genealogical list;

nasb@Ezra:7:15 @Now I assembled them at the river that runs to Ahava, where we camped for three days; and when I observed the people and the priests, I did not find any Levites there.

nasb@Ezra:7:21 @Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to seek from Him a safe journey for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.

nasb@Ezra:7:22 @For I was ashamed to request from the king troops and horsemen to protect us from the enemy on the way, because we had said to the king, " The hand of our God is favorably disposed to all those who seek Him, but His power and His anger are against all those who forsake Him."

nasb@Ezra:7:23 @So we fasted and sought our God concerning this matter, and He listened to our entreaty.

nasb@Ezra:7:24 @Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers;

nasb@Ezra:7:25 @and I weighed out to them the silver, the gold and the utensils, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his princes and all Israel present there had offered.

nasb@Ezra:7:26 @Thus I weighed into their hands 650 talents of silver, and silver utensils worth 100 talents, and 100 gold talents,

nasb@Ezra:7:29" @Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the leading priests, the Levites and the heads of the fathers' households of Israel at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD."

nasb@Ezra:7:30 @So the priests and the Levites accepted the weighed out silver and gold and the utensils, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.

nasb@Ezra:7:31 @Then we journeyed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was over us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the ambushes by the way.

nasb@Ezra:7:32 @Thus we came to Jerusalem and remained there three days.

nasb@Ezra:7:33 @On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the utensils were weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui.

nasb@Ezra:7:34 @Everything was numbered and weighed, and all the weight was recorded at that time.

nasb@Ezra:7:7" @ Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and on account of our iniquities we, our kings and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder and to open shame, as it is this day.

nasb@Ezra:7:9" @ For we are slaves; yet in our bondage our God has not forsaken us, but has extended lovingkindness to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us reviving to raise up the house of our God, to restore its ruins and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

nasb@Ezra:7:10" @Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,

nasb@Ezra:7:14 @shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not be angry with us to the point of destruction, until there is no remnant nor any who escape?

nasb@Ezra:7:15" @O LORD God of Israel, You are righteous, for we have been left an escaped remnant, as it is this day; behold, we are before You in our guilt, for no one can stand before You because of this."

nasb@Ezra:8:1 @Now while Ezra was praying and making confession, weeping and prostrating himself before the house of God, a very large assembly, men, women and children, gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept bitterly.

nasb@Ezra:8:2 @Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra, " We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

nasb@Ezra:8:4" @Arise! For this matter is your responsibility, but we will be with you; be courageous and act."

nasb@Ezra:8:6 @Then Ezra rose from before the house of God and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib. Although he went there, he did not eat bread nor drink water, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

nasb@Ezra:8:9 @So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and the heavy rain.

nasb@Ezra:8:13" @But there are many people; it is the rainy season and we are not able to stand in the open. Nor can the task be done in one or two days, for we have transgressed greatly in this matter.

nasb@Ezra:8:16 @But the exiles did so. And Ezra the priest selected men who were heads of fathers' households for each of their father's households, all of them by name. So they convened on the first day of the tenth month to investigate the matter.

nasb@Ezra:8:18 @Among the sons of the priests who had married foreign wives were found of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers- Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib and Gedaliah.

nasb@Ezra:8:20 @Of the sons of Immer there were Hanani and Zebadiah;

nasb@Ezra:8:23 @Of Levites there were Jozabad, Shimei, Kelaiah (that is, Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah and Eliezer.

nasb@Ezra:8:25 @Of Israel, of the sons of Parosh there were Ramiah, Izziah, Malchijah, Mijamin, Eleazar, Malchijah and Benaiah;

nasb@Ezra:8:43 @Of the sons of Nebo there were Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jaddai, Joel and Benaiah.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:1 @The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in Susa the capitol,

nasb@Nehemiah:1:4 @When I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:5 @I said, "I beseech You, O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who preserves the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments,

nasb@Nehemiah:1:6 @let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your servant which I am praying before You now, day and night, on behalf of the sons of Israel Your servants, confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have sinned against You; I and my father's house have sinned.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:7" @ We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:9 @but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.'

nasb@Nehemiah:1:10" @ They are Your servants and Your people whom You redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:1 @And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:10 @When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about it, it was very displeasing to them that someone had come to seek the welfare of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:13 @So I went out at night by the Valley Gate in the direction of the Dragon's Well and on to the Refuse Gate, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were consumed by fire.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:15 @So I went up at night by the ravine and inspected the wall. Then I entered the Valley Gate again and returned.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, "You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned by fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach."

nasb@Nehemiah:2:20 @So I answered them and said to them, " The God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no portion, right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nasb@Nehemiah:3:1 @Then Eliashib the high priest arose with his brothers the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and hung its doors. They consecrated the wall to the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:11 @Malchijah the son of Harim and Hasshub the son of Pahath-moab repaired another section and the Tower of Furnaces.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:25 @Palal the son of Uzai made repairs in front of the Angle and the tower projecting from the upper house of the king, which is by the court of the guard. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh made repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:26 @The temple servants living in Ophel made repairs as far as the front of the Water Gate toward the east and the projecting tower.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:27 @After them the Tekoites repaired another section in front of the great projecting tower and as far as the wall of Ophel.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:32 @Between the upper room of the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and the merchants carried out repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:1 @Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious and very angry and mocked the Jews.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:2 @He spoke in the presence of his brothers and the wealthy men of Samaria and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore it for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish in a day? Can they revive the stones from the dusty rubble even the burned ones?"

nasb@Nehemiah:4:4 @Hear, O our God, how we are despised! Return their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:6 @So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:7 @Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were very angry.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:9 @But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:10 @Thus in Judah it was said, "The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubbish; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:11 @Our enemies said, "They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them and put a stop to the work."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:13 @then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears and bows.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:14 @When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people- " Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:16 @From that day on, half of my servants carried on the work while half of them held the spears, the shields, the bows and the breastplates; and the captains were behind the whole house of Judah.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:17 @Those who were rebuilding the wall and those who carried burdens took their load with one hand doing the work and the other holding a weapon.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:19 @I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "The work is great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall far from one another.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:21 @So we carried on the work with half of them holding spears from dawn until the stars appeared.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:23 @So neither I, my brothers, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us removed our clothes, each took his weapon even to the water.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:2 @For there were those who said, "We, our sons and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain that we may eat and live."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:3 @There were others who said, "We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our houses that we might get grain because of the famine."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:4 @Also there were those who said, "We have borrowed money for the king's tax on our fields and our vineyards.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:5" @Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:8 @I said to them, "We according to our ability have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?" Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:12 @Then they said, "We will give it back and will require nothing from them; we will do exactly as you say." So I called the priests and took an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:14 @Moreover, from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor's food allowance.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:15 @But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so because of the fear of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:16 @I also applied myself to the work on this wall; we did not buy any land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:17 @Moreover, there were at my table one hundred and fifty Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:18 @Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand the governor's food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:2 @then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono." But they were planning to harm me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:4 @They sent messages to me four times in this manner, and I answered them in the same way.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:9 @For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:14 @Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the rest of the prophets who were trying to frighten me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:15 @So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:17 @Also in those days many letters went from the nobles of Judah to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:18 @For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:19 @Moreover, they were speaking about his good deeds in my presence and reported my words to him. Then Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:1 @Now when the wall was rebuilt and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

nasb@Nehemiah:7:4 @Now the city was large and spacious, but the people in it were few and the houses were not built.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:60 @All the temple servants and the sons of Solomon's servants were 392.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:61 @These were they who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon and Immer; but they could not show their fathers' houses or their descendants, whether they were of Israel-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:64 @These searched among their ancestral registration, but it could not be located; therefore they were considered unclean and excluded from the priesthood.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:67 @besides their male and their female servants, of whom there were 7,337; and they had 245 male and female singers.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:68 @Their horses were 736; their mules, 245;

nasb@Nehemiah:7:73 @Now the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants and all Israel, lived in their cities. And when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel were in their cities.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:3 @He read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the people were attentive to the book of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:6 @Then Ezra blessed the LORD the great God. And all the people answered, " Amen, Amen!" while lifting up their hands; then they bowed low and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:9 @Then Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, " This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people were weeping when they heard the words of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:10 @Then he said to them, "Go, eat of the fat, drink of the sweet, and send portions to him who has nothing prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

nasb@Nehemiah:8:12 @All the people went away to eat, to drink, to send portions and to celebrate a great festival, because they understood the words which had been made known to them.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:13 @Then on the second day the heads of fathers' households of all the people, the priests and the Levites were gathered to Ezra the scribe that they might gain insight into the words of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:16 @So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each on his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at the Water Gate and in the square at the Gate of Ephraim.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:1 @Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel assembled with fasting, in sackcloth and with dirt upon them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:12" @And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:19 @You, in Your great compassion, Did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, To guide them on their way, Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:21" @Indeed, forty years You provided for them in the wilderness and they were not in want; Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:25" @ They captured fortified cities and a fertile land. They took possession of houses full of every good thing, Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, Fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled and grew fat, And reveled in Your great goodness.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:30" @ However, You bore with them for many years, And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:32" @Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness, Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You, Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers and on all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:33" @However, You are just in all that has come upon us; For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:36" @Behold, we are slaves today, And as to the land which You gave to our fathers to eat of its fruit and its bounty, Behold, we are slaves in it.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:37" @ Its abundant produce is for the kings Whom You have set over us because of our sins; They also rule over our bodies And over our cattle as they please, So we are in great distress.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:38" @Now because of all this We are making an agreement in writing; And on the sealed document are the names of our leaders, our Levites and our priests."

nasb@Nehemiah:10:1 @Now on the sealed document were the names of- Nehemiah the governor, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah,

nasb@Nehemiah:10:8 @Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah. These were the priests.

nasb@Nehemiah:10:31 @As for the peoples of the land who bring wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we will not buy from them on the sabbath or a holy day; and we will forego the crops the seventh year and the exaction of every debt.

nasb@Nehemiah:10:32 @We also placed ourselves under obligation to contribute yearly one third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God-

nasb@Nehemiah:10:34 @Likewise we cast lots for the supply of wood among the priests, the Levites and the people so that they might bring it to the house of our God, according to our fathers' households, at fixed times annually, to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law;

nasb@Nehemiah:10:37 @We will also bring the first of our dough, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the new wine and the oil to the priests at the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground to the Levites, for the Levites are they who receive the tithes in all the rural towns.

nasb@Nehemiah:10:39 @For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of the grain, the new wine and the oil to the chambers; there are the utensils of the sanctuary, the priests who are ministering, the gatekeepers and the singers. Thus we will not neglect the house of our God.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:6 @All the sons of Perez who lived in Jerusalem were 468 able men.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:16 @and Shabbethai and Jozabad, from the leaders of the Levites, who were in charge of the outside work of the house of God;

nasb@Nehemiah:11:18 @All the Levites in the holy city were 284.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:19 @Also the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon and their brethren who kept watch at the gates, were 172.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:20 @The rest of Israel, of the priests and of the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each on his own inheritance.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:21 @But the temple servants were living in Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of the temple servants.

nasb@Nehemiah:11:22 @Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, from the sons of Asaph, who were the singers for the service of the house of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:7 @Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah and Jedaiah. These were the heads of the priests and their kinsmen in the days of Jeshua.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:8 @The Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah who was in charge of the songs of thanksgiving, he and his brothers.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:12 @Now in the days of Joiakim, the priests, the heads of fathers' households were- of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

nasb@Nehemiah:12:22 @As for the Levites, the heads of fathers' households were registered in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan and Jaddua; so were the priests in the reign of Darius the Persian.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:23 @The sons of Levi, the heads of fathers' households, were registered in the Book of the Chronicles up to the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:24 @The heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers opposite them, to praise and give thanks, as prescribed by David the man of God, division corresponding to division.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:25 @Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon and Akkub were gatekeepers keeping watch at the storehouses of the gates.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:28 @So the sons of the singers were assembled from the district around Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:32 @Hoshaiah and half of the leaders of Judah followed them,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:36 @and his kinsmen, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:37 @At the Fountain Gate they went directly up the steps of the city of David by the stairway of the wall above the house of David to the Water Gate on the east.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:38 @The second choir proceeded to the left, while I followed them with half of the people on the wall, above the Tower of Furnaces, to the Broad Wall,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:39 @and above the Gate of Ephraim, by the Old Gate, by the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate; and they stopped at the Gate of the Guard.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:44 @On that day men were also appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the first fruits and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions required by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who served.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:46 @For in the days of David and Asaph, in ancient times, there were leaders of the singers, songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving to God.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:2 @because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:6 @But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had gone to the king. After some time, however, I asked leave from the king,

nasb@Nehemiah:13:13 @In charge of the storehouses I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered reliable, and it was their task to distribute to their kinsmen.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days I saw in Judah some who were treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sacks of grain and loading them on donkeys, as well as wine, grapes, figs and all kinds of loads, and they brought them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. So I admonished them on the day they sold food.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:16 @Also men of Tyre were living there who imported fish and all kinds of merchandise, and sold them to the sons of Judah on the sabbath, even in Jerusalem.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:25 @So I contended with them and cursed them and struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take of their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:27" @Do we then hear about you that you have committed all this great evil by acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?"

nasb@Esther:1:5 @When these days were completed, the king gave a banquet lasting seven days for all the people who were present at the citadel in Susa, from the greatest to the least, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.

nasb@Esther:1:6 @There were hangings of fine white and violet linen held by cords of fine purple linen on silver rings and marble columns, and couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.

nasb@Esther:1:7 @Drinks were served in golden vessels of various kinds, and the royal wine was plentiful according to the king's bounty.

nasb@Esther:1:14 @and were close to him- Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who had access to the king's presence and sat in the first place in the kingdom--

nasb@Esther:2:8 @So it came about when the command and decree of the king were heard and many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king's palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.

nasb@Esther:2:12 @Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows- six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--

nasb@Esther:2:19 @When the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate.

nasb@Esther:2:23 @Now when the plot was investigated and found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the Book of the Chronicles in the king's presence.

nasb@Esther:3:1 @After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and established his authority over all the princes who were with him.

nasb@Esther:3:2 @All the king's servants who were at the king's gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman; for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage.

nasb@Esther:3:3 @Then the king's servants who were at the king's gate said to Mordecai, " Why are you transgressing the king's command?"

nasb@Esther:3:5 @When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage.

nasb@Esther:3:6 @But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:3:7 @In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, Pur, that is the lot, was cast before Haman from day to day and from month to month, until the twelfth month, that is the month Adar.

nasb@Esther:3:12 @Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written just as Haman commanded to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province and to the princes of each people, each province according to its script, each people according to its language, being written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nasb@Esther:3:13 @Letters were sent by couriers to all the king's provinces to destroy, to kill and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to seize their possessions as plunder.

nasb@Esther:3:15 @The couriers went out impelled by the king's command while the decree was issued at the citadel in Susa; and while the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in confusion.

nasb@Esther:4:1 @When Mordecai learned all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city and wailed loudly and bitterly.

nasb@Esther:4:2 @He went as far as the king's gate, for no one was to enter the king's gate clothed in sackcloth.

nasb@Esther:4:3 @In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.

nasb@Esther:4:6 @So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the city square in front of the king's gate.

nasb@Esther:4:17 @So Mordecai went away and did just as Esther had commanded him.

nasb@Esther:5:5 @Then the king said, " Bring Haman quickly that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nasb@Esther:5:9 @Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.

nasb@Esther:5:10 @Haman controlled himself, however, went to his house and sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

nasb@Esther:6:1 @During that night the king could not sleep so he gave an order to bring the book of records, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

nasb@Esther:6:2 @It was found written what Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers, that they had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

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

nasb@Esther:6:14 @While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hastily brought Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nasb@Esther:7:4 @for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for the trouble would not be commensurate with the annoyance to the king."

nasb@Esther:7:7 @The king arose in his anger from drinking wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king.

nasb@Esther:7:8 @Now when the king returned from the palace garden into the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen with me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

nasb@Esther:7:9 @Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were before the king said, "Behold indeed, the gallows standing at Haman's house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!" And the king said, "Hang him on it."

nasb@Esther:8:3 @Then Esther spoke again to the king, fell at his feet, wept and implored him to avert the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite and his plot which he had devised against the Jews.

nasb@Esther:8:9 @So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors and the princes of the provinces which extended from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.

nasb@Esther:8:11 @In them the king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives, to destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them, including children and women, and to plunder their spoil,

nasb@Esther:8:12 @on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar).

nasb@Esther:8:14 @The couriers, hastened and impelled by the king's command, went out, riding on the royal steeds; and the decree was given out at the citadel in Susa.

nasb@Esther:8:15 @Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.

nasb@Esther:9:1 @Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth day when the king's command and edict were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.

nasb@Esther:9:3 @Even all the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and those who were doing the king's business assisted the Jews, because the dread of Mordecai had fallen on them.

nasb@Esther:9:11 @On that day the number of those who were killed at the citadel in Susa was reported to the king.

nasb@Esther:9:14 @So the king commanded that it should be done so; and an edict was issued in Susa, and Haman's ten sons were hanged.

nasb@Esther:9:15 @The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed three hundred men in Susa, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:16 @Now the rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces assembled, to defend their lives and rid themselves of their enemies, and kill 75,000 of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:18 @But the Jews who were in Susa assembled on the thirteenth and the fourteenth of the same month, and they rested on the fifteenth day and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.

nasb@Esther:9:20 @Then Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,

nasb@Esther:9:28 @So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city; and these days of Purim were not to fail from among the Jews, or their memory fade from their descendants.

nasb@Esther:10:3 @For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many kinsmen, one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the welfare of his whole nation.
