bes@Jdt:8:17 @ Therefore let us wait for salvation of him, and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please him.

bes@Jdt:8:27 @ For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them, for the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken vengeance on us: but the Lord doth scourge them that come near unto him, to admonish them.

bes@Jdt:10:13 @ And I am coming before Holofernes the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth; and I will shew him a way, whereby he shall go, and win all the hill country, without losing the body or life of any one of his men.

bes@Jdt:10:16 @ And when thou standest before him, be not afraid in thine heart, but shew unto him according to thy word; and he will entreat thee well.

bes@Jdt:10:18 @ Then was there a concourse throughout all the camp: for her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told him of her.

bes@Jdt:10:22 @ So they shewed him of her; and he came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.

bes@Jdt:10:23 @ And when Judith was come before him and his servants they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance; and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him: and his servants took her up.

bes@Jdt:11:5 @ Then Judith said unto him, Receive the words of thy servant, and suffer thine handmaid to speak in thy presence, and I will declare no lie to my lord this night.

bes@Jdt:11:7 @ As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.

bes@Jdt:11:9 @ Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.

bes@Jdt:12:4 @ Then said Judith unto him As thy soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined.

bes@Jdt:12:14 @ Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.

bes@Jdt:12:19 @ Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.

bes@Jdt:13:8 @ And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and she took away his head from him.

bes@Jdt:13:15 @ So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.

bes@Jdt:13:16 @ As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me.

bes@Jdt:14:3 @ Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him: then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.

bes@Jdt:14:5 @ But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.

bes@Jdt:14:7 @ But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith’s feet, and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou in all the tabernacles of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy name shall be astonished.

bes@Jdt:14:8 @ Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done in these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth until that hour she spake unto them.

bes@Jdt:14:13 @ So they came to Holofernes’ tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.

bes@Jdt:14:15 @ But because none answered, he opened it, and went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the floor dead, and his head was taken from him.

bes@Jdt:16:2 @ And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm: exalt him, and call upon his name.

bes@Jdt:16:7 @ For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.

bes@Jdt:16:8 @ For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.

bes@Wis:1:1 @ Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.

bes@Wis:1:2 @ For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.

bes@Wis:1:8 @ Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.

bes@Wis:2:13 @ He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.

bes@Wis:2:16 @ We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.

bes@Wis:2:17 @ Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.

bes@Wis:2:18 @ For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.

bes@Wis:2:19 @ Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.

bes@Wis:2:20 @ Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.

bes@Wis:2:23 @ For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.

bes@Wis:3:5 @ And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

bes@Wis:3:9 @ They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

bes@Wis:3:14 @ And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

bes@Wis:4:10 @ He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living among sinners he was translated.

bes@Wis:4:14 @ For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked.

bes@Wis:4:17 @ For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.

bes@Wis:4:18 @ They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach among the dead for evermore.

bes@Wis:5:1 @ Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.

bes@Wis:5:17 @ He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.

bes@Wis:5:20 @ His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.

bes@Wis:7:1 @ I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,

bes@Wis:7:28 @ For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.

bes@Wis:8:3 @ In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.

bes@Wis:8:21 @ Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said,

bes@Wis:9:6 @ For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

bes@Wis:10:1 @ She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

bes@Wis:10:2 @ And gave him power to rule all things.

bes@Wis:10:5 @ Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.

bes@Wis:10:10 @ When the righteous fled from his brother’s wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.

bes@Wis:10:11 @ In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.

bes@Wis:10:12 @ She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.

bes@Wis:10:13 @ When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,

bes@Wis:10:14 @ And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

bes@Wis:11:14 @ For whom they respected with scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.

bes@Wis:12:15 @ Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished.

bes@Wis:12:27 @ For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; now being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

bes@Wis:13:1 @ Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster;

bes@Wis:13:6 @ But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.

bes@Wis:13:7 @ For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.

bes@Wis:13:12 @ And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;

bes@Wis:13:19 @ And for gaining and getting, and for good success of his hands, asketh ability to do of him, that is most unable to do any thing.

bes@Wis:14:1 @ Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.

bes@Wis:14:10 @ For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.

bes@Wis:14:15 @ For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.

bes@Wis:14:17 @ Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.

bes@Wis:14:20 @ And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.

bes@Wis:14:24 @ They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traitorously, or grieved him by adultery.

bes@Wis:15:7 @ For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.

bes@Wis:15:8 @ And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the same, out when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.

bes@Wis:15:11 @ Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.

bes@Wis:15:13 @ For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.

bes@Wis:15:16 @ For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like unto himself.

bes@Wis:15:17 @ For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never.

bes@Wis:16:7 @ For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.

bes@Wis:18:21 @ For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.

bes@Wis:18:22 @ So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.

bes@Tob:1:17 @ And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.

bes@Tob:1:21 @ And there passed not five and fifty days, before two of his sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead; who appointed over his father’s accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael’s son.

bes@Tob:1:22 @ And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts: and Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother’s son.

bes@Tob:2:4 @ Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started up, and took him up into a room until the going down of the sun.

bes@Tob:2:7 @ Therefore I wept: and after the going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.

bes@Tob:3:10 @ When she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.

bes@Tob:4:2 @ And said with himself, I have wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias that I may signify to him of the money before I die?

bes@Tob:4:3 @ And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her not.

bes@Tob:4:14 @ Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.

bes@Tob:4:19 @ Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.

bes@Tob:5:2 @ But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not?

bes@Tob:5:3 @ Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money.

bes@Tob:5:5 @ But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?

bes@Tob:5:7 @ Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.

bes@Tob:5:8 @ Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.

bes@Tob:5:9 @ So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.

bes@Tob:5:10 @ Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.

bes@Tob:5:11 @ To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.

bes@Tob:5:20 @ Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.

bes@Tob:5:21 @ For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.

bes@Tob:6:2 @ And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.

bes@Tob:6:3 @ Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.

bes@Tob:6:5 @ So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.

bes@Tob:6:7 @ And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed.

bes@Tob:6:15 @ Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

bes@Tob:7:4 @ Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?

bes@Tob:7:6 @ Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,

bes@Tob:7:7 @ And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.

bes@Tob:8:3 @ The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.

bes@Tob:8:6 @ Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.

bes@Tob:8:8 @ And she said with him, Amen.

bes@Tob:8:12 @ He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.

bes@Tob:8:20 @ For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

bes@Tob:9:1 @ Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,

bes@Tob:9:2 @ Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.

bes@Tob:9:5 @ So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.

bes@Tob:10:2 @ Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?

bes@Tob:10:4 @ Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,

bes@Tob:10:9 @ But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.

bes@Tob:10:11 @ Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:

bes@Tob:11:1 @ After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.

bes@Tob:11:6 @ And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.

bes@Tob:11:9 @ Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.

bes@Tob:11:10 @ Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,

bes@Tob:11:15 @ For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.

bes@Tob:11:16 @ Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.

bes@Tob:11:17 @ But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

bes@Tob:12:1 @ Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.

bes@Tob:12:2 @ And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:

bes@Tob:12:4 @ Then the old man said, It is due unto him.

bes@Tob:12:5 @ So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in safety.

bes@Tob:12:6 @ Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.

bes@Tob:12:18 @ For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.

bes@Tob:12:20 @ Now therefore give God thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.

bes@Tob:12:21 @ And when they arose, they saw him no more.

bes@Tob:13:3 @ Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.

bes@Tob:13:4 @ There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.

bes@Tob:13:6 @ If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?

bes@Tob:13:8 @ Let all men speak, and let all praise him for his righteousness.

bes@Tob:13:10 @ Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: and praise the everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be builded in thee again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are miserable.

bes@Tob:13:18 @ And all her streets shall say, Alleluia; and they shall praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath extolled it for ever.

bes@Tob:14:2 @ And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.

bes@Tob:14:3 @ And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.

bes@Tob:14:10 @ And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.

bes@Tob:14:11 @ Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.

bes@Sir:1:10 @ She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath given her to them that love him.

bes@Sir:1:13 @ Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death.

bes@Sir:1:18 @ The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish; both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him.

bes@Sir:1:23 @ A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.

bes@Sir:1:28 @ Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart.

bes@Sir:2:3 @ Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end.

bes@Sir:2:6 @ Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him.

bes@Sir:2:8 @ Ye that fear the Lord, believe him; and your reward shall not fail.

bes@Sir:2:10 @ Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?

bes@Sir:2:13 @ Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended.

bes@Sir:2:15 @ They that fear the Lord will not disobey his Word; and they that love him will keep his ways.

bes@Sir:2:16 @ They that fear the Lord will seek that which is well, pleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the law.

bes@Sir:3:12 @ My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.

bes@Sir:3:13 @ And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.

bes@Sir:3:17 @ My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.

bes@Sir:3:28 @ In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.

bes@Sir:4:3 @ Add not more trouble to an heart that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need.

bes@Sir:4:5 @ Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him none occasion to curse thee:

bes@Sir:4:6 @ For if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard of him that made him.

bes@Sir:4:8 @ Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.

bes@Sir:4:9 @ Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the oppressor; and be not fainthearted when thou sittest in judgement.

bes@Sir:4:16 @ If a man commit himself unto her, he shall inherit her; and his generation shall hold her in possession.

bes@Sir:4:17 @ For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws.

bes@Sir:4:18 @ Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets.

bes@Sir:4:19 @ But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin.

bes@Sir:5:6 @ And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners.

bes@Sir:6:4 @ A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies.

bes@Sir:6:7 @ If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him.

bes@Sir:6:12 @ If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.

bes@Sir:45:7 @ An everlasting covenant he made with him and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.

bes@Sir:45:8 @ He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.

bes@Sir:45:9 @ And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people;

bes@Sir:45:13 @ Before him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children’s children perpetually.

bes@Sir:45:15 @ Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.

bes@Sir:45:16 @ He chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.

bes@Sir:45:17 @ He gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgements, that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws.

bes@Sir:45:18 @ Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan’s and Abiron’s side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath.

bes@Sir:45:19 @ This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.

bes@Sir:45:20 @ But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:

bes@Sir:45:21 @ For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.

bes@Sir:45:22 @ Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.

bes@Sir:45:24 @ Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever:

bes@Sir:46:3 @ Who before him so stood to it? for the Lord himself brought his enemies unto him.

bes@Sir:46:5 @ He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies pressed upon him on every side; and the great Lord heard him.

bes@Sir:46:9 @ The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained with him unto his old age: so that he entered upon the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an heritage:

bes@Sir:46:16 @ He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the sucking lamb.

bes@Sir:46:19 @ And before his long sleep he made protestations in the sight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man’s goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did accuse him.

bes@Sir:47:1 @ And after him rose up Nathan to prophesy in the time of David.

bes@Sir:47:5 @ For he called upon the most high Lord; and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior, and set up the horn of his people.

bes@Sir:47:6 @ So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he gave him a crown of glory.

bes@Sir:47:8 @ In all his works he praised the Holy One most high with words of glory; with his whole heart he sung songs, and loved him that made him.

bes@Sir:47:11 @ The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: he gave him a covenant of kings, and a throne of glory in Israel.

bes@Sir:47:12 @ After him rose up a wise son, and for his sake he dwelt at large.

bes@Sir:47:13 @ Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honoured; for God made all quiet round about him, that he might build an house in his name, and prepare his sanctuary for ever.

bes@Sir:47:22 @ But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, neither shall any of his works perish, neither will he abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him that loveth him he will not take away: wherefore he gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David.

bes@Sir:47:23 @ Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness of the people, and one that had no understanding, who turned away the people through his counsel. There was also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and shewed Ephraim the way of sin:

bes@Sir:48:8 @ Who anointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:

bes@Sir:48:12 @ Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.

bes@Sir:48:13 @ No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied.

bes@Sir:48:20 @ But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.

bes@Sir:48:22 @ For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.

bes@Sir:49:2 @ He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity.

bes@Sir:49:7 @ For they entreated him evil, who nevertheless was a prophet, sanctified in his mother’s womb, that he might root out, and afflict, and destroy; and that he might build up also, and plant.

bes@Sir:49:8 @ It was Ezekiel who saw the glorious vision, which was shewed him upon the chariot of the cherubims.

bes@Sir:50:2 @ And by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:

bes@Sir:50:12 @ When he took the portions out of the priests’ hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed they him round about.

bes@Sir:50:19 @ And the people besought the Lord, the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.

bes@Sir:50:29 @ For if he do them, he shall be strong to all things: for the light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth wisdom to the godly. Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever. Amen, Amen.

bes@Sir:51:17 @ I profited therein, therefore will I ascribe glory unto him that giveth me wisdom.

bes@Sir:51:22 @ The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.

bes@Bar:1:3 @ And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,

bes@Bar:1:7 @ And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,

bes@Bar:1:18 @ And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:

bes@Bar:2:28 @ As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,

bes@Bar:3:33 @ He that sendeth forth light, and it goeth, calleth it again, and it obeyeth him with fear.

bes@Bar:3:34 @ The stars shined in their watches, and rejoiced: when he calleth them, they say, Here we be; and so with cheerfulness they shewed light unto him that made them.

bes@Bar:3:35 @ This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted of in comparison of him

bes@Bar:3:37 @ Afterward did he shew himself upon earth, and conversed with men.

bes@Bar:4:7 @ For ye provoked him that made you by sacrificing unto devils, and not to God.

bes@Bar:4:27 @ Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto God: for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you.

bes@Bar:4:28 @ For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, being returned, seek him ten times more.

bes@Bar:5:9 @ For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.

bes@Bar:6:1 @ A copy of an epistle, which Jeremy sent unto them which were to be led captives into Babylon by the king of the Babylonians, to certify them, as it was commanded him of God.

bes@Bar:6:14 @ And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth him holdeth a sceptre, as though he were a judge of the country.

bes@Bar:6:15 @ He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an axe: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves.

bes@Bar:6:18 @ And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death: even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers.

bes@Bar:6:34 @ Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: they can neither set up a king, nor put him down.

bes@Bar:6:41 @ Who if they shall see one dumb that cannot speak, they bring him, and intreat Bel that he may speak, as though he were able to understand.

bes@Bar:6:43 @ The women also with cords about them, sitting in the ways, burn bran for perfume: but if any of them, drawn by some that passeth by, lie with him, she reproacheth her fellow, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.

bes@1Macc:1:3 @ And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.

bes@1Macc:1:4 @ And he gathered a mighty strong host and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him.

bes@1Macc:1:6 @ Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.

bes@1Macc:1:18 @ And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.

bes@1Macc:1:30 @ And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.

bes@1Macc:1:57 @ And whosoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any committed to the law, the king’s commandment was, that they should put him to death.

bes@1Macc:2:19 @ Then Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice, Though all the nations that are under the king’s dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments:

bes@1Macc:2:24 @ Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to shew his anger according to judgement: wherefore he ran, and slew him upon the altar.

bes@1Macc:2:27 @ And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud voice, saying, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maintaineth the covenant, let him follow me.

bes@1Macc:2:41 @ At that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whosoever shall come to make battle with us on the sabbath day, we will fight against him; neither will we die all, as our brethren that were murdered in the secret places.

bes@1Macc:2:42 @ Then came there unto him a company of Assideans who were mighty men of Israel, even all such as were voluntarily devoted unto the law.

bes@1Macc:2:52 @ Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness?

bes@1Macc:2:61 @ And thus consider ye throughout all ages, that none that put their trust in him shall be overcome.

bes@1Macc:2:65 @ And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.

bes@1Macc:2:66 @ As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.

bes@1Macc:2:70 @ And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.

bes@1Macc:3:2 @ And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.

bes@1Macc:3:3 @ So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.

bes@1Macc:3:6 @ Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.

bes@1Macc:3:9 @ So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.

bes@1Macc:3:11 @ Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.

bes@1Macc:3:13 @ Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war;

bes@1Macc:3:14 @ He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king’s commandment.

bes@1Macc:3:15 @ So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.

bes@1Macc:3:16 @ And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:

bes@1Macc:3:22 @ Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.

bes@1Macc:3:23 @ Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him.

bes@1Macc:3:30 @ He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.

bes@1Macc:3:34 @ Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:

bes@1Macc:3:60 @ Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.

bes@1Macc:4:3 @ Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king’s army which was at Emmaus,

bes@1Macc:4:6 @ But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour nor swords to their minds.

bes@1Macc:4:8 @ Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.

bes@1Macc:4:27 @ Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.

bes@1Macc:5:7 @ So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were discomfited before him; and he smote them.

bes@1Macc:5:21 @ Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him.

bes@1Macc:5:23 @ And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy.

bes@1Macc:5:34 @ Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.

bes@1Macc:5:38 @ So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought him word, saying, All the heathen that be round about us are assembled unto them, even a very great host.

bes@1Macc:5:40 @ Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:

bes@1Macc:5:41 @ But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him.

bes@1Macc:5:43 @ So he went first over unto them, and all the people after him: then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that was at Carnaim.

bes@1Macc:5:48 @ Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on foot: howbeit they would not open unto him.

bes@1Macc:6:4 @ Rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.

bes@1Macc:6:5 @ Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:

bes@1Macc:6:8 @ Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.

bes@1Macc:6:15 @ And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.

bes@1Macc:6:29 @ There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.

bes@1Macc:6:36 @ These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.

bes@1Macc:6:37 @ And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him.

bes@1Macc:6:43 @ Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,

bes@1Macc:6:44 @ Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name:

bes@1Macc:6:45 @ Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.

bes@1Macc:6:46 @ Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died.

bes@1Macc:6:56 @ Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king’s host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs.

bes@1Macc:6:63 @ Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.

bes@1Macc:7:2 @ And as he entered into the palace of his ancestors, so it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them unto him.

bes@1Macc:7:5 @ There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for their captain:

bes@1Macc:7:7 @ Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go and see what havock he hath made among us, and in the king’s land, and let him punish them with all them that aid them.

bes@1Macc:7:9 @ And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel.

bes@1Macc:7:16 @ Whereupon they believed him: howbeit he took of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words which he wrote,

bes@1Macc:7:19 @ After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit.

bes@1Macc:7:20 @ Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with him a power to aid him: so Bacchides went to the king.

bes@1Macc:7:22 @ And unto him resorted all such as troubled the people, who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into their power, did much hurt in Israel.

bes@1Macc:7:24 @ He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and took vengeance of them that had revolted from him, so that they durst no more go forth into the country.

bes@1Macc:7:30 @ Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, and would see his face no more.

bes@1Macc:7:33 @ After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt sacrifice that was offered for the king.

bes@1Macc:7:39 @ So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him.

bes@1Macc:7:42 @ Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness.

bes@1Macc:7:43 @ So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined battle: but Nicanor’s host was discomfited, and he himself was first slain in the battle.

bes@1Macc:8:2 @ And that they were men of great valour. It was told him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among the Galatians, and how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute;

bes@1Macc:8:7 @ And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he and such as reigned after him should pay a great tribute, and give hostages, and that which was agreed upon,

bes@1Macc:8:8 @ And the country of India, and Media and Lydia and of the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and gave to king Eumenes:

bes@1Macc:8:11 @ It was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any time resisted them;

bes@1Macc:8:31 @ And as touching the evils that Demetrius doeth to the Jews, we have written unto him, saying, Wherefore thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and confederates the Jews?

bes@1Macc:9:5 @ Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him:

bes@1Macc:9:7 @ When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.

bes@1Macc:9:9 @ But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our brethren, and fight against them: for we are but few.

bes@1Macc:9:14 @ Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,

bes@1Macc:9:16 @ But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that were with him hard at the heels from behind:

bes@1Macc:9:19 @ Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.

bes@1Macc:9:20 @ Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,

bes@1Macc:9:29 @ Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like him to go forth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that are adversaries to us.

bes@1Macc:9:31 @ Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.

bes@1Macc:9:32 @ But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for to slay him

bes@1Macc:9:33 @ Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.

bes@1Macc:9:40 @ Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils.

bes@1Macc:9:47 @ With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him.

bes@1Macc:9:48 @ Then Jonathan and they that were with him leapt into Jordan, and swam over unto the other bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them.

bes@1Macc:9:59 @ So they went and consulted with him.

bes@1Macc:9:60 @ Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him: howbeit they could not, because their counsel was known unto them.

bes@1Macc:9:62 @ Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong.

bes@1Macc:9:65 @ But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth himself into the country, and with a certain number went he forth.

bes@1Macc:9:68 @ And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.

bes@1Macc:9:69 @ Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.

bes@1Macc:9:70 @ Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.

bes@1Macc:9:71 @ Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.

bes@1Macc:9:72 @ When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.

bes@1Macc:10:1 @ In the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, the son of Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptolemais: for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there,

bes@1Macc:10:2 @ Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered together an exceeding great host, and went forth against him to fight.

bes@1Macc:10:3 @ Moreover Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with loving words, so as he magnified him.

bes@1Macc:10:4 @ For said he, Let us first make peace with him, before he join with Alexander against us:

bes@1Macc:10:5 @ Else he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brethren and his people.

bes@1Macc:10:6 @ Wherefore he gave him authority to gather together an host, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in battle: he commanded also that the hostages that were in the tower should be delivered him.

bes@1Macc:10:8 @ Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an host.

bes@1Macc:10:10 @ This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.

bes@1Macc:10:15 @ Now when king Alexander had heard what promises Demetrius had sent unto Jonathan: when also it was told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, and of the pains that they had endured,

bes@1Macc:10:16 @ He said, Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and confederate.

bes@1Macc:10:17 @ Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, according to these words, saying,

bes@1Macc:10:20 @ Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king’s friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.

bes@1Macc:10:23 @ What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us in making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself?

bes@1Macc:10:47 @ But with Alexander they were well pleased, because he was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they were confederate with him always.

bes@1Macc:10:49 @ And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius’ host fled: but Alexander followed after him, and prevailed against them.

bes@1Macc:10:53 @ For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his kingdom:

bes@1Macc:10:58 @ Where king Alexander meeting him, he gave unto him his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, as the manner of kings is.

bes@1Macc:10:59 @ Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.

bes@1Macc:10:61 @ At that time certain pestilent fellows of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him, to accuse him: but the king would not hear them.

bes@1Macc:10:62 @ Yea more than that, the king commanded to take off his garments, and clothe him in purple: and they did so.

bes@1Macc:10:63 @ And he made him sit by himself, and said into his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.

bes@1Macc:10:65 @ So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.

bes@1Macc:10:74 @ So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for to help him.

bes@1Macc:10:75 @ And he pitched his tents against Joppa: but; they of Joppa shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a garrison there.

bes@1Macc:10:76 @ Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.

bes@1Macc:10:77 @ Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain. because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust.

bes@1Macc:10:78 @ Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the armies joined battle.

bes@1Macc:10:80 @ And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening.

bes@1Macc:10:82 @ Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the footmen, (for the horsemen were spent) who were discomfited by him, and fled.

bes@1Macc:10:86 @ And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.

bes@1Macc:10:89 @ And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king’s blood: he gave him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession.

bes@1Macc:11:2 @ Whereupon he took his journey into Syria in peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his brother in law.

bes@1Macc:11:4 @ And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them by the way where he should pass.

bes@1Macc:11:5 @ Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to the intent he might blame him: but the king held his peace.

bes@1Macc:11:10 @ For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he sought to slay me.

bes@1Macc:11:11 @ Thus did he slander him, because he was desirous of his kingdom.

bes@1Macc:11:12 @ Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was openly known.

bes@1Macc:11:14 @ In the mean season was king Alexander in Cilicia, because those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from him.

bes@1Macc:11:15 @ But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.

bes@1Macc:11:21 @ Then came ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower,

bes@1Macc:11:22 @ Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately removing, he came to Ptolemais, and wrote unto Jonathan, that he should not lay siege to the tower, but come and speak with him at Ptolemais in great haste.

bes@1Macc:11:23 @ Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel and the priests, and put himself in peril;

bes@1Macc:11:25 @ And though certain ungodly men of the people had made complaints against him,

bes@1Macc:11:26 @ Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends,

bes@1Macc:11:27 @ And confirmed him in the high priesthood, and in all the honours that he had before, and gave him preeminence among his chief friends.

bes@1Macc:11:28 @ Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents.

bes@1Macc:11:38 @ After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.

bes@1Macc:11:40 @ And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father’s stead: he told him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.

bes@1Macc:11:44 @ Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.

bes@1Macc:11:47 @ Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto him all at once, and dispersing themselves through the city slew that day in the city to the number of an hundred thousand.

bes@1Macc:11:52 @ So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.

bes@1Macc:11:53 @ Nevertheless he dissembled in all that ever he spake, and estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarded he him according to the benefits which he had received of him, but troubled him very sore.

bes@1Macc:11:54 @ After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned.

bes@1Macc:11:55 @ Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.

bes@1Macc:11:58 @ Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle.

bes@1Macc:11:60 @ Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves unto him for to help him: and when he came to Ascalon, they of the city met him honourably.

bes@1Macc:11:61 @ From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut him out; wherefore he laid siege unto it, and burned the suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them.

bes@1Macc:11:63 @ Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius’ princes were come to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great power, purposing to remove him out of the country,

bes@1Macc:11:66 @ But they desired to have peace with him, which he granted them, and then put them out from thence, and took the city, and set a garrison in it.

bes@1Macc:11:68 @ And, behold, the host of strangers met them in the plain, who, having laid men in ambush for him in the mountains, came themselves over against him.

bes@1Macc:11:73 @ Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.

bes@1Macc:12:1 @ Now when Jonathan saw that time served him, he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, for to confirm and renew the friendship that they had with them.

bes@1Macc:12:24 @ Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius’ princes were come to fight against him with a greater host than afore,

bes@1Macc:12:26 @ He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the night season.

bes@1Macc:12:40 @ Howbeit he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him; wherefore he sought a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he removed, and came to Bethsan.

bes@1Macc:12:41 @ Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.

bes@1Macc:12:42 @ Now when Tryphon saw Jonathan came with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him;

bes@1Macc:12:43 @ But received him honourably, and commended him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself.

bes@1Macc:12:46 @ So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:12:47 @ And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.

bes@1Macc:12:48 @ Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.

bes@1Macc:12:50 @ But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another; and went close together, prepared to fight.

bes@1Macc:12:52 @ Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, and they were sore afraid; wherefore all Israel made great lamentation.

bes@1Macc:13:11 @ Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a great power, to Joppa: who casting out them that were therein remained there in it.

bes@1Macc:13:12 @ So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great power to invade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in ward.

bes@1Macc:13:14 @ Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers unto him, saying,

bes@1Macc:13:15 @ Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is for money that he is owing unto the king’s treasure, concerning the business that was committed unto him.

bes@1Macc:13:16 @ Wherefore now send an hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go.

bes@1Macc:13:17 @ Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake deceitfully unto him yet sent he the money and the children, lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of the people:

bes@1Macc:13:18 @ Who might have said, Because I sent him not the money and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead.

bes@1Macc:13:20 @ And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.

bes@1Macc:13:26 @ And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and bewailed him many days.

bes@1Macc:13:31 @ Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king Antiochus, and slew him.

bes@1Macc:13:32 @ And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land.

bes@1Macc:13:48 @ Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwellingplace for himself.

bes@1Macc:13:50 @ Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him to be at one with them: which thing he granted them; and when he had put them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from pollutions:

bes@1Macc:13:52 @ He ordained also that that day should be kept every year with gladness. Moreover the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.

bes@1Macc:13:53 @ And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man, he made him captain of all the hosts; and he dwelt in Gazera.

bes@1Macc:14:1 @ Now in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get him help to fight against Tryphon.

bes@1Macc:14:2 @ But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive:

bes@1Macc:14:3 @ Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward.

bes@1Macc:14:7 @ And gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazera, and Bethsura, and the tower, out of the which he took all uncleanness, neither was there any that resisted him.

bes@1Macc:14:18 @ They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren:

bes@1Macc:14:35 @ The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.

bes@1Macc:14:38 @ King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood according to those things,

bes@1Macc:14:39 @ And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour.

bes@1Macc:14:44 @ Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;

bes@1Macc:15:10 @ In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.

bes@1Macc:15:12 @ For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him.

bes@1Macc:15:13 @ Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him an hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen.

bes@1Macc:15:26 @ At that time Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to aid him; silver also, and gold, and much armour.

bes@1Macc:15:27 @ Nevertheless he would not receive them, but brake all the covenants which he had made with him afore, and became strange unto him.

bes@1Macc:15:28 @ Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppa and Gazera; with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm.

bes@1Macc:15:32 @ So Athenobius the king’s friend came to Jerusalem: and when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the king’s message.

bes@1Macc:15:33 @ Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have neither taken other men’s land, nor holden that which appertaineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time.

bes@1Macc:15:35 @ And whereas thou demandest Joppa and Gazera, albeit they did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will we give thee an hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius answered him not a word;

bes@1Macc:15:36 @ But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen: whereupon the king was exceeding wroth.

bes@1Macc:15:38 @ Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the sea coast, and gave him an host of footmen and horsemen,

bes@1Macc:15:39 @ And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea; also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify the gates, and to war against the people; but as for the king himself, he pursued Tryphon.

bes@1Macc:15:41 @ And when he had built up Cedron, he set horsemen there, and an host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.

bes@1Macc:16:6 @ So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.

bes@1Macc:16:13 @ Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them.

bes@1Macc:16:14 @ Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat:

bes@1Macc:16:16 @ So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.

bes@1Macc:16:18 @ Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, that he should send him an host to aid him, and he would deliver him the country and cities.

bes@1Macc:16:19 @ He sent others also to Gazera to kill John: and unto the tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards.

bes@1Macc:16:22 @ Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished: so he laid hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew them; for he knew that they sought to make him away.

bes@2Macc:1:3 @ And give you all an heart to serve him, and to do his will, with a good courage and a willing mind;

bes@2Macc:1:11 @ Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, we thank him highly, as having been in battle against a king.

bes@2Macc:1:13 @ For when the leader was come into Persia, and the army with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea’s priests.

bes@2Macc:1:14 @ For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money in name of a dowry.

bes@2Macc:2:4 @ It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God.

bes@2Macc:2:6 @ And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it.

bes@2Macc:2:27 @ Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this great pains;

bes@2Macc:2:31 @ But to use brevity, and avoid much labouring of the work, is to be granted to him that will make an abridgment.

bes@2Macc:3:5 @ And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of Celosyria and Phenice,

bes@2Macc:3:6 @ And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king’s hand.

bes@2Macc:3:7 @ Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had shewed him of the money whereof he was told, the king chose out Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment to bring him the foresaid money.

bes@2Macc:3:9 @ And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received of the high priest of the city, he told him what intelligence was given of the money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed.

bes@2Macc:3:10 @ Then the high priest told him that there was such money laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children:

bes@2Macc:3:13 @ But Heliodorus, because of the king’s commandment given him, said, That in any wise it must be brought into the king’s treasury.

bes@2Macc:3:15 @ But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in their priests’ vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made a law concerning things given to he kept, that they should safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept.

bes@2Macc:3:17 @ For the man was so compassed with fear and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, what sorrow he had now in his heart.

bes@2Macc:3:24 @ Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.

bes@2Macc:3:25 @ For there appeared unto them an horse with a terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his forefeet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold.

bes@2Macc:3:26 @ Moreover two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side; and scourged him continually, and gave him many sore stripes.

bes@2Macc:3:27 @ And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was compassed with great darkness: but they that were with him took him up, and put him into a litter.

bes@2Macc:3:28 @ Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.

bes@2Macc:3:31 @ Then straightways certain of Heliodorus’ friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.

bes@2Macc:3:35 @ So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king.

bes@2Macc:3:38 @ If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life: for in that place, no doubt; there is an especial power of God.

bes@2Macc:4:2 @ Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zealous of the laws.

bes@2Macc:4:9 @ Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians.

bes@2Macc:4:21 @ Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into Egypt for the coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, Antiochus, understanding him not to be well affected to his affairs, provided for his own safety: whereupon he came to Joppa, and from thence to Jerusalem:

bes@2Macc:4:23 @ Three years afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the aforesaid Simon’s brother, to bear the money unto the king, and to put him in mind of certain necessary matters.

bes@2Macc:4:24 @ But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.

bes@2Macc:4:28 @ For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Wherefore they were both called before the king.

bes@2Macc:4:33 @ Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochia.

bes@2Macc:4:34 @ Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed, him to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up without regard of justice.

bes@2Macc:4:37 @ Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of him that was dead.

bes@2Macc:4:38 @ And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had deserved.

bes@2Macc:4:42 @ Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee: but as for the churchrobber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.

bes@2Macc:4:44 @ Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him:

bes@2Macc:4:45 @ But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes to give him much money, if he would pacify the king toward him.

bes@2Macc:4:46 @ Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a certain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of another mind:

bes@2Macc:5:6 @ But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not considering that to get the day of them of his own nation would be a most unhappy day for him; but thinking they had been his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered.

bes@2Macc:5:10 @ And he that had cast out many unburied had none to mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre with his fathers.

bes@2Macc:5:22 @ And he left governors to vex the nation: at Jerusalem, Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for manners more barbarous than he that set him there;

bes@2Macc:5:24 @ He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the younger sort:

bes@2Macc:5:27 @ But Judas Maccabeus with nine others, or thereabout, withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution.

bes@2Macc:6:6 @ Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient fasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew.

bes@2Macc:6:21 @ But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for the old acquaintance they had with the man, taking him aside, besought him to bring flesh of his own provision, such as was lawful for him to use, and make as if he did eat of the flesh taken from the sacrifice commanded by the king;

bes@2Macc:6:23 @ But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour of his gray head, whereon was come, and his most honest education from a child, or rather the holy law made and given by God: therefore he answered accordingly, and willed them straightways to send him to the grave.

bes@2Macc:6:29 @ They that led him changing the good will they bare him a little before into hatred, because the foresaid speeches proceeded, as they thought, from a desperate mind.

bes@2Macc:6:30 @ But when he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I now endure sore pains in body by being beaten: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him.

bes@2Macc:7:4 @ Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut out the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut off the utmost parts of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on.

bes@2Macc:7:5 @ Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the pan: and as the vapour of the pan was for a good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the mother to die manfully, saying thus,

bes@2Macc:7:7 @ So when the first was dead after this number, they brought the second to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, Wilt thou eat, before thou be punished throughout every member of thy body?

bes@2Macc:7:10 @ After him was the third made a mocking stock: and when he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right soon, holding forth his hands manfully.

bes@2Macc:7:11 @ And said courageously, These I had from heaven; and for his laws I despise them; and from him I hope to receive them again.

bes@2Macc:7:12 @ Insomuch that the king, and they that were with him, marvelled at the young man’s courage, for that he nothing regarded the pains.

bes@2Macc:7:14 @ So when he was ready to die he said thus, It is good, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God to be raised up again by him: as for thee, thou shalt have no resurrection to life.

bes@2Macc:7:15 @ Afterward they brought the fifth also, and mangled him.

bes@2Macc:7:18 @ After him also they brought the sixth, who being ready to die said, Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God: therefore marvellous things are done unto us.

bes@2Macc:7:24 @ Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers; and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs.

bes@2Macc:7:25 @ But when the young man would in no case hearken unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she would counsel the young man to save his life.

bes@2Macc:7:26 @ And when he had exhorted her with many words, she promised him that she would counsel her son.

bes@2Macc:7:27 @ But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee such three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.

bes@2Macc:7:39 @ Than the king’ being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.

bes@2Macc:8:1 @ Then Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolks together, and took unto them all such as continued in the Jews’ religion, and assembled about six thousand men.

bes@2Macc:8:3 @ And that he would have compassion upon the city, sore defaced, and ready to be made even with the ground; and hear the blood that cried unto him,

bes@2Macc:8:5 @ Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he could not be withstood by the heathen: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.

bes@2Macc:8:8 @ So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king’s affairs.

bes@2Macc:8:9 @ Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience.

bes@2Macc:8:11 @ Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent, not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from the Almighty God.

bes@2Macc:8:12 @ Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor’s coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him that the army was at hand,

bes@2Macc:8:22 @ And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of each band, to wit Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving each one fifteen hundred men.

bes@2Macc:8:23 @ Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book: and when he had given them this watchword, The help of God; himself leading the first band,

bes@2Macc:8:36 @ Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Romans their tribute by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave them.

bes@2Macc:9:3 @ Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus.

bes@2Macc:9:4 @ Then swelling with anger. he thought to avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. Therefore commanded he his chariotman to drive without ceasing, and to dispatch the journey, the judgement of God now following him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he would come to Jerusalem and make it a common burying place of the Jews.

bes@2Macc:9:5 @ But the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, smote him with an incurable and invisible plague: or as soon as he had spoken these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless came upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts;

bes@2Macc:9:11 @ Here therefore, being plagued, he began to leave off his great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment.

bes@2Macc:9:12 @ And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself if he were God.

bes@2Macc:9:13 @ This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord, who now no more would have mercy upon him, saying thus,

bes@2Macc:9:17 @ Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the power of God.

bes@2Macc:9:18 @ But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgement of God was come upon him: therefore despairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letter underwritten, containing the form of a supplication, after this manner:

bes@2Macc:9:29 @ And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body, who also fearing the son of Antiochus went into Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.

bes@2Macc:10:4 @ When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles; but if they sinned any more against him, that he himself would chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations.

bes@2Macc:10:7 @ Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.

bes@2Macc:10:11 @ So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him his chief governor of Celosyria and Phenice.

bes@2Macc:10:13 @ Whereupon being accused of the king’s friends before Eupator, and called traitor at every word because he had left Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and departed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and seeing that he was in no honourable place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and died.

bes@2Macc:10:19 @ Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, and them that were with him, who were enough to besiege them, and departed himself unto those places which more needed his help.

bes@2Macc:10:26 @ And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth.

bes@2Macc:10:30 @ And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on every side weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the enemies: so that being confounded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed.

bes@2Macc:10:32 @ As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong hold, called Gazara, where Chereas was governor.

bes@2Macc:11:7 @ Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.

bes@2Macc:11:12 @ Many of them also being wounded escaped naked; and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped.

bes@2Macc:11:13 @ Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with himself what loss he had had, and considering that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God helped them, he sent unto them,

bes@2Macc:12:5 @ When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his countrymen, he commanded those that were with him to make them ready.

bes@2Macc:12:10 @ Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon him.

bes@2Macc:12:11 @ Whereupon there was a very sore battle; but Judas’ side by the help of God got the victory; so that the Nomades of Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise.

bes@2Macc:12:18 @ But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places: for before he had dispatched any thing, he departed from thence, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold.

bes@2Macc:12:20 @ And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him an hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.

bes@2Macc:12:22 @ But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.

bes@2Macc:12:24 @ Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews’ parents, and the brethren of some of them, who, if they put him to death, should not be regarded.

bes@2Macc:12:25 @ So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren.

bes@2Macc:12:35 @ At which time Dositheus, one of Bacenor’s company, who was on horseback, and a strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and taking hold of his coat drew him by force; and when he would have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia coming upon him smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto Marisa.

bes@2Macc:12:36 @ Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

bes@2Macc:12:42 @ Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain.

bes@2Macc:13:2 @ And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, having either of them a Grecian power of footmen, an hundred and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.

bes@2Macc:13:3 @ Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the country, but because he thought to have been made governor.

bes@2Macc:13:4 @ But the King of kings moved Antiochus’ mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.

bes@2Macc:13:6 @ And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had committed any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him unto death.

bes@2Macc:13:15 @ And having given the watchword to them that were about him, Victory is of God; with the most valiant and choice young men he went in into the king’s tent by night, and slew in the camp about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with all that were upon him.

bes@2Macc:13:17 @ This was done in the break of the day, because the protection of the Lord did help him.

bes@2Macc:13:21 @ But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews’ host, disclosed the secrets to the enemies; therefore he was sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put him in prison.

bes@2Macc:13:23 @ Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Antioch, was desperately bent, confounded, intreated the Jews, submitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt kindly with the place,

bes@2Macc:13:24 @ And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians;

bes@2Macc:14:3 @ Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gentiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any more access to the holy altar,

bes@2Macc:14:4 @ Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also of the boughs which were used solemnly in the temple: and so that day he held his peace.

bes@2Macc:14:11 @ This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king’s friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense Demetrius.

bes@2Macc:14:12 @ And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master of the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent him forth,

bes@2Macc:14:13 @ Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great temple.

bes@2Macc:14:15 @ Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor’s coming, and that the heathen were up against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him that had established his people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with manifestation of his presence.

bes@2Macc:14:23 @ Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but sent away the people that came flocking unto him.

bes@2Macc:14:25 @ He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life.

bes@2Macc:14:26 @ But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt them, and considering the covenants that were made, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected toward the state; for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, to be the king’s successor.

bes@2Macc:14:27 @ Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto Antioch.

bes@2Macc:14:28 @ When this came to Nicanor’s hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault.

bes@2Macc:14:30 @ Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came not of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and withdrew himself from Nicanor.

bes@2Macc:14:31 @ But the other, knowing that he was notably prevented by Judas’ policy, came into the great and holy temple, and commanded the priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to deliver him the man.

bes@2Macc:14:34 @ After these words he departed. Then the priests lifted up their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a defender of their nation, saying in this manner;

bes@2Macc:14:39 @ So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him:

bes@2Macc:14:40 @ For he thought by taking him to do the Jews much hurt.

bes@2Macc:14:43 @ But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them.

bes@2Macc:14:45 @ Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the throng; and standing upon a steep rock,

bes@2Macc:14:46 @ When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, he thus died.

bes@2Macc:15:2 @ Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him said, O destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour to that day, which he, that seeth all things, hath honoured with holiness above all other days.

bes@2Macc:15:6 @ So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined to set up a publick monument of his victory over Judas and them that were with him.

bes@2Macc:15:7 @ But Maccabeus had ever sure confidence that the Lord would help him:

bes@2Macc:15:21 @ Maccabeus seeing the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy:

bes@2Macc:15:25 @ Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trumpets and songs.

bes@4Macc:10:5 @ But they, highly incensed at his boldness of speech, dislocated his hands and feet with racking engines, and wrenching them from their sockets, dismembered him.

bes@4Macc:10:7 @ And not being able by any means to strangle him, they tore off his skin, together with the extreme tips of his fingers, flayed him, and then haled him to the wheel;

bes@4Macc:11:9 @ As he said this, the spearbearers bound him, and drew him to the catapelt:

bes@4Macc:11:10 @ to which binding him at his knees, and fastening them with iron fetters, they bent down his loins upon the wedge of the wheel; and his body was then dismembered, scorpion-fashion.

bes@4Macc:11:13 @ He also being dead, the sixth, quite a youth, was brought out; and on the tyrant asking him whether he would eat and be delivered, he said,

bes@4Macc:11:17 @ As he said this, they brought him to the wheel.

bes@4Macc:12:3 @ seeing him already encompassed with chains, had him brought nearer, and endeavoured to counsel him, saying,

bes@4Macc:12:6 @ And having thus exhorted him, he sent for the mother of the boy; that, by condoling with her for the loss of so many sons, he might incline her, through the hope of safety, to render the survivor obedient.

bes@4Macc:12:7 @ And he, after his mother had urged him on in the Hebrew tongue, (as we shall soon relate) saith,

bes@4Macc:12:9 @ And they, rejoicing exceedingly at the promise of the youth, quickly let him go.

bes@4Macc:12:20 @ Thus having prayed, he hurled himself into the pans; and so expired.

bes@4Macc:13:14 @ Let us not fear him who thinketh he killeth;

bes@4Macc:16:20 @ For whom also our father Abraham was forward to sacrifice Isaac our progenitor, and shuddered not at the sight of his own paternal hand descending down with the sword upon him.

bes@4Macc:17:17 @ The tyrant himself, and all their council, admired their endurance;

bes@4Macc:17:24 @ And they proved to be to him noble and brave for land battles and for sieges; and he conquered and stormed the towns of all his enemies.

bes@4Macc:18:13 @ And he used to glorify Daniel, who was in the den of lions, and pronounce him blessed.

bes@1Esd:1:24 @ As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.

bes@1Esd:1:25 @ Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass, that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Carchamis upon Euphrates: and Josias went out against him.

bes@1Esd:1:26 @ But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea?

bes@1Esd:1:28 @ Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy spoken by the mouth of the Lord:

bes@1Esd:1:29 @ But joined battle with him in the plain of Magiddo, and the princes came against king Josias.

bes@1Esd:1:30 @ Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants took him away out of the battle.

bes@1Esd:1:32 @ And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel.

bes@1Esd:1:34 @ And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and three years old.

bes@1Esd:1:35 @ And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:1:38 @ And he bound Joacim and the nobles: but Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt.

bes@1Esd:1:40 @ Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and carried him into Babylon.

bes@1Esd:1:42 @ But those things that are recorded of him, and of his uncleanness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the kings.

bes@1Esd:1:45 @ So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord;

bes@1Esd:1:47 @ And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord.

bes@1Esd:1:48 @ And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel.

bes@1Esd:1:57 @ Who became servants to him and his children, till the Persians reigned, to fulfil the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremy:

bes@1Esd:2:4 @ And commanded me to build him an house at Jerusalem in Jewry.

bes@1Esd:2:5 @ If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel: for he is the Lord that dwelleth in Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:2:6 @ Whosoever then dwell in the places about, let them help him, those, I say, that are his neighbours, with gold, and with silver,

bes@1Esd:2:12 @ And by him they were delivered to Sanabassar the governor of Judea.

bes@1Esd:2:16 @ But in the time of Artaxerxes king of the Persians Belemus, and Mithridates, and Tabellius, and Rathumus, and Beeltethmus, and Semellius the secretary, with others that were in commission with them, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote unto him against them that dwelt in Judea and Jerusalem these letters following;

bes@1Esd:3:2 @ And to all the governors and captains and lieutenants that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, of an hundred twenty and seven provinces.

bes@1Esd:3:5 @ Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory:

bes@1Esd:3:9 @ And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writings; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed.

bes@1Esd:3:13 @ Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read them:

bes@1Esd:3:15 @ And sat him down in the royal seat of judgement; and the writings were read before them.

bes@1Esd:4:10 @ So all his people and his armies obey him: furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest:

bes@1Esd:4:11 @ And these keep watch round about him, neither may any one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey they him in any thing.

bes@1Esd:4:20 @ A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, and his own country, and cleaveth unto his wife.

bes@1Esd:4:28 @ And now do ye not believe me? is not the king great in his power? do not all regions fear to touch him?

bes@1Esd:4:29 @ Yet did I see him and Apame the king’s concubine, the daughter of the admirable Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of the king,

bes@1Esd:4:31 @ And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also: but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might be reconciled to him again.

bes@1Esd:4:42 @ Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt more than is appointed in the writing, and we will give it thee, because thou art found wisest; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be called my cousin.

bes@1Esd:4:47 @ Then Darius the king stood up, and kissed him, and wrote letters for him unto all the treasurers and lieutenants and captains and governors, that they should safely convey on their way both him, and all those that go up with him to build Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:4:48 @ He wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were in Celosyria and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, that they should bring cedar wood from Libanus unto Jerusalem, and that they should build the city with him.

bes@1Esd:5:69 @ For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither.

bes@1Esd:6:22 @ And if it be found that the building of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem hath been done with the consent of king Cyrus, and if our lord the king be so minded, let him signify unto us thereof.

bes@1Esd:8:4 @ And the king did him honour: for he found grace in his sight in all his requests.

bes@1Esd:8:5 @ There went up with him also certain of the children of Israel, of the priest of the Levites, of the holy singers, porters, and ministers of the temple, unto Jerusalem,

bes@1Esd:8:19 @ And I king Artaxerxes have also commanded the keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phenice, that whatsoever Esdras the priest and the reader of the law of the most high God shall send for, they should give it him with speed,

bes@1Esd:8:30 @ Of the sons of Pharez, Zacharias; and with him were counted an hundred and fifty men:

bes@1Esd:8:31 @ Of the sons of Pahath Moab, Eliaonias, the son of Zaraias, and with him two hundred men:

bes@1Esd:8:32 @ Of the sons of Zathoe, Sechenias the son of Jezelus, and with him three hundred men: of the sons of Adin, Obeth the son of Jonathan, and with him two hundred and fifty men:

bes@1Esd:8:33 @ Of the sons of Elam, Josias son of Gotholias, and with him seventy men:

bes@1Esd:8:34 @ Of the sons of Saphatias, Zaraias son of Michael, and with him threescore and ten men:

bes@1Esd:8:35 @ Of the sons of Joab, Abadias son of Jezelus, and with him two hundred and twelve men:

bes@1Esd:8:36 @ Of the sons of Banid, Assalimoth son of Josaphias, and with him an hundred and threescore men:

bes@1Esd:8:37 @ Of the sons of Babi, Zacharias son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight men:

bes@1Esd:8:38 @ Of the sons of Astath, Johannes son of Acatan, and with him an hundred and ten men:

bes@1Esd:8:40 @ Of the sons of Bago, Uthi the son of Istalcurus, and with him seventy men.

bes@1Esd:8:50 @ And there I vowed a fast unto the young men before our Lord, to desire of him a prosperous journey both for us and them that were with us, for our children, and for the cattle:

bes@1Esd:8:52 @ For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord our God should be with them that seek him, to support them in all ways.

bes@1Esd:8:53 @ And again we besought our Lord as touching these things, and found him favourable unto us.

bes@1Esd:8:63 @ And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabad the son of Jesu and Moeth the son of Sabban, Levites: all was delivered them by number and weight.

bes@1Esd:8:91 @ And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, weeping, and lying flat upon the ground before the temple, there gathered unto him from Jerusalem a very great multitude of men and women and children: for there was great weeping among the multitude.

bes@1Esd:9:4 @ And that whosoever met not there within two or three days according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out from them that were of the captivity.

bes@1Esd:9:16 @ And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal men of their families, all by name: and in the first day of the tenth month they sat together to examine the matter.

bes@1Esd:9:43 @ And there stood up by him Mattathias, Sammus, Ananias, Azarias, Urias, Ezecias, Balasamus, upon the right hand:

bes@Sus:1:4 @ Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.

bes@Sus:1:47 @ Then all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken?

bes@Sus:1:50 @ Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder.

bes@Sus:1:52 @ So when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light.

bes@Sus:1:56 @ So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.

bes@Sus:1:59 @ Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.

bes@Sus:1:60 @ With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him.

bes@Ps151:1:3 @ And who shall tell my Lord? the Lord himself, he himself hears.

bes@Ps151:1:7 @ But I drew his own sword, and beheaded him, and removed reproach from the children of Israel.

bes@BelTh:1:3 @ Now the Babylonians had an idol, called Bel, and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine.

bes@BelTh:1:4 @ And the king worshipped it and went daily to adore it: but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel?

bes@BelTh:1:6 @ Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living God? seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day?

bes@BelTh:1:16 @ In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.

bes@BelTh:1:21 @ And took the priests with their wives and children, who shewed him the privy doors, where they came in, and consumed such things as were upon the table.

bes@BelTh:1:22 @ Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into Daniel’s power, who destroyed him and his temple.

bes@BelTh:1:24 @ And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.

bes@BelTh:1:30 @ Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them:

bes@BelTh:1:31 @ Who cast him into the lions’ den: where he was six days.

bes@BelTh:1:36 @ Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.

bes@BelTh:1:42 @ And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his face.
