asv@Deuteronomy:1:4 @after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.

asv@Deuteronomy:2:7 @For Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand; he hath known thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years Jehovah thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

asv@Deuteronomy:2:24 @Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

asv@Deuteronomy:2:26 @And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

asv@Deuteronomy:2:30 @But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:1 @Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Edrei.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:2 @And Jehovah said unto me, Fear him not; for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:3 @So Jehovah our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:4 @And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we took not from them; threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:6 @And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:8 @And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon unto mount Hermon;

asv@Deuteronomy:3:10 @all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:11 @(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.)

asv@Deuteronomy:3:13 @and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim.

asv@Deuteronomy:3:21 @And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall Jehovah do unto all the kingdoms whither thou goest over.

asv@Deuteronomy:4:33 @Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

asv@Deuteronomy:4:46 @beyond the Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, when they came forth out of Egypt.

asv@Deuteronomy:4:47 @And they took his land in possession, and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan toward the sunrising;

asv@Deuteronomy:5:26 @For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

asv@Deuteronomy:7:8 @but because Jehovah loveth you, and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, hath Jehovah brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

asv@Deuteronomy:7:24 @And he will deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

asv@Deuteronomy:11:3 @and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

asv@Deuteronomy:11:19 @And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

asv@Deuteronomy:17:14 @When thou art come unto the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me;

asv@Deuteronomy:17:15 @thou shalt surely set him king over thee, whom Jehovah thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother.

asv@Deuteronomy:17:18 @And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

asv@Deuteronomy:17:20 @that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.

asv@Deuteronomy:20:9 @And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall appoint captains of hosts at the head of the people.

asv@Deuteronomy:20:19 @When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by wielding an axe against them; for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of thee?

asv@Deuteronomy:28:25 @Jehovah will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies; thou shalt go out one way against them, and shalt flee seven ways before them: and thou shalt be tossed to and from among all the kingdoms of the earth.

asv@Deuteronomy:28:36 @Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation that thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

asv@Deuteronomy:29:7 @And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:

asv@Deuteronomy:31:4 @And Jehovah will do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and unto their land; whom he destroyed.

asv@Deuteronomy:32:45 @And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel;

asv@Deuteronomy:33:5 @And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together.

asv@Joshua:2:2 @And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.

asv@Joshua:2:3 @And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land.

asv@Joshua:2:10 @For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

asv@Joshua:5:1 @And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, that were by the sea, heard how that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

asv@Joshua:6:2 @And Jehovah said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.

asv@Joshua:8:1 @And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land;

asv@Joshua:8:2 @And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it.

asv@Joshua:8:14 @And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

asv@Joshua:8:23 @And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

asv@Joshua:8:29 @And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.

asv@Joshua:9:1 @And it came to pass, when all the kings that were beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;

asv@Joshua:9:10 @and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.

asv@Joshua:10:1 @Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

asv@Joshua:10:3 @Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

asv@Joshua:10:5 @Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.

asv@Joshua:10:6 @And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us.

asv@Joshua:10:16 @And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

asv@Joshua:10:17 @And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

asv@Joshua:10:22 @Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave.

asv@Joshua:10:23 @And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.

asv@Joshua:10:24 @And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

asv@Joshua:10:28 @And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

asv@Joshua:10:30 @and Jehovah delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

asv@Joshua:10:33 @Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

asv@Joshua:10:37 @and they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.

asv@Joshua:10:40 @So Joshua smote all the land, the hill-country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded.

asv@2Samuel:16:14 @And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.

asv@2Samuel:16:16 @And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, Long live the king, Long live the king.

asv@2Samuel:17:2 @and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;

asv@2Samuel:17:16 @Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.

asv@2Samuel:17:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying by En-rogel; and a maid-servant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come into the city.

asv@2Samuel:17:21 @And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David, Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water; for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.

asv@2Samuel:18:2 @And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite.

asv@2Samuel:18:4 @And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

asv@2Samuel:18:5 @And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.

asv@2Samuel:18:12 @And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.

asv@2Samuel:18:13 @Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hid from the king), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.

asv@2Samuel:18:18 @Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar, which is in the king's dale; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absalom's monument, unto this day.

asv@2Samuel:18:19 @Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that Jehovah hath avenged him of his enemies.

asv@2Samuel:18:27 @And the watchman said, I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.

asv@2Samuel:18:28 @And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he bowed himself before the king with his face to the earth, and said, Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.

asv@2Samuel:18:29 @And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, even me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.

asv@2Samuel:19:18 @And there went over a ferry-boat to bring over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan.

asv@2Samuel:19:19 @And he said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.

asv@2Samuel:19:20 @For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.

asv@2Samuel:19:26 @And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame.

asv@2Samuel:19:27 @And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

asv@2Samuel:19:28 @For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more unto the king?

asv@2Samuel:19:29 @And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

asv@2Samuel:19:39 @And all the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over: and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.

asv@2Samuel:19:40 @So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him: and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

asv@2Samuel:19:41 @And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?

asv@2Samuel:19:42 @And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all at the king's cost? or hath he given us any gift?

asv@2Samuel:20:2 @So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

asv@2Samuel:20:3 @And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and provided them with sustenance, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.

asv@2Samuel:20:4 @Then said the king to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present.

asv@2Samuel:20:21 @The matter is not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city.

asv@2Samuel:20:22 @Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

asv@2Samuel:21:2 @And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);

asv@2Samuel:21:5 @And they said unto the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,

asv@2Samuel:24:3 @And Joab said unto the king, Now Jehovah thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?

asv@2Samuel:24:4 @Notwithstanding, the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.

asv@2Samuel:24:9 @And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

asv@2Samuel:24:20 @And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

asv@2Samuel:24:21 @And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

asv@2Samuel:24:22 @And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments and the yokes of the oxen for the wood:

asv@2Samuel:24:23 @all this, O king, doth Araunah give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.

asv@2Samuel:24:24 @And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price. Neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah my God which cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

asv@1Kings:1:1 @Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.

asv@1Kings:2:13 @Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

asv@1Kings:2:14 @He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

asv@1Kings:2:15 @And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's; for it was his from Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:2:16 @And now I ask one petition of thee; deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

asv@1Kings:2:17 @And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king (for he will not say thee nay), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

asv@1Kings:2:18 @And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

asv@1Kings:2:19 @Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

asv@1Kings:2:20 @Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; deny me not. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny thee.

asv@1Kings:2:21 @And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

asv@1Kings:2:22 @And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

asv@1Kings:2:23 @Then king Solomon sware by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life.

asv@1Kings:2:24 @Now therefore as Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

asv@1Kings:2:25 @And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him, so that he died.

asv@1Kings:2:26 @And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

asv@1Kings:2:27 @So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto Jehovah, that he might fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

asv@1Kings:2:28 @And the tidings came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

asv@1Kings:2:29 @And it was told king Solomon, Joab is fled unto the Tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

asv@1Kings:2:30 @And Benaiah came to the Tent of Jehovah, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

asv@1Kings:2:31 @And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.

asv@1Kings:2:32 @And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David knew it not, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

asv@1Kings:2:33 @So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but unto David, and unto his seed, and unto his house, and unto his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:2:34 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

asv@1Kings:2:35 @And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host; and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

asv@1Kings:2:36 @And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

asv@1Kings:2:37 @For on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

asv@1Kings:2:38 @And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

asv@1Kings:2:39 @And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.

asv@1Kings:2:40 @And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

asv@1Kings:2:41 @And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

asv@1Kings:2:42 @And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest unto thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The saying that I have heard is good.

asv@1Kings:2:43 @Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

asv@1Kings:2:44 @The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thy heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore Jehovah shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head.

asv@1Kings:2:45 @But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.

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

asv@1Kings:3:1 @And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

asv@1Kings:3:2 @Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of Jehovah until those days.

asv@1Kings:3:3 @And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

asv@1Kings:3:4 @And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

asv@1Kings:3:5 @In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.

asv@1Kings:3:6 @And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great lovingkindness, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great lovingkindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

asv@1Kings:3:7 @And now, O Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child; I know not how to go out or come in.

asv@1Kings:3:8 @And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

asv@1Kings:3:9 @Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this thy great people?

asv@1Kings:3:10 @And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

asv@1Kings:3:11 @And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern justice;

asv@1Kings:3:12 @behold, I have done according to thy word: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there hath been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

asv@1Kings:3:13 @And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee, all thy days.

asv@1Kings:3:14 @And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

asv@1Kings:3:15 @And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

asv@1Kings:3:16 @Then there came two women that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.

asv@1Kings:3:17 @And the one woman said, Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.

asv@1Kings:3:18 @And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.

asv@1Kings:3:19 @And this woman's child died in the night, because she lay upon it.

asv@1Kings:3:20 @And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

asv@1Kings:3:21 @And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; but when I had looked at it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear.

asv@1Kings:3:22 @And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.

asv@1Kings:3:23 @Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.

asv@1Kings:3:24 @And the king said, Fetch me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.

asv@1Kings:3:25 @And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

asv@1Kings:3:26 @Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, It shall be neither mine nor thine; divide it.

asv@1Kings:3:27 @Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

asv@1Kings:3:28 @And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.

asv@1Kings:4:1 @And king Solomon was king over all Israel.

asv@1Kings:4:2 @And these were the princes whom he had: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;

asv@1Kings:4:3 @Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

asv@1Kings:4:4 @and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

asv@1Kings:4:5 @and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan was chief minister, and the king's friend;

asv@1Kings:4:6 @and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to taskwork.

asv@1Kings:4:7 @And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.

asv@1Kings:4:8 @And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

asv@1Kings:4:9 @Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan;

asv@1Kings:4:10 @Ben-hesed, in Arubboth (to him pertained Socoh, and all the land of Hepher);

asv@1Kings:4:11 @Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife);

asv@1Kings:4:12 @Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;

asv@1Kings:4:13 @Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; even to him pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars);

asv@1Kings:4:14 @Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;

asv@1Kings:4:15 @Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon to wife);

asv@1Kings:4:16 @Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;

asv@1Kings:4:17 @Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;

asv@1Kings:4:18 @Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

asv@1Kings:4:19 @Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer that was in the land.

asv@1Kings:4:20 @Judah and Israel were many as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and making merry.

asv@1Kings:4:21 @And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought tribute, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

asv@1Kings:4:22 @And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

asv@1Kings:4:23 @ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.

asv@1Kings:4:24 @For he had dominion over all the region on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

asv@1Kings:4:25 @And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

asv@1Kings:4:26 @And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

asv@1Kings:4:27 @And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.

asv@1Kings:4:28 @Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.

asv@1Kings:4:29 @And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore.

asv@1Kings:4:30 @And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

asv@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations round about.

asv@1Kings:4:32 @And he spake three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five.

asv@1Kings:4:33 @And he spake of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he spake also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

asv@1Kings:4:34 @And there came of all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.

asv@1Kings:5:1 @And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.

asv@1Kings:5:2 @And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

asv@1Kings:5:3 @Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.

asv@1Kings:5:4 @But now Jehovah my God hath given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.

asv@1Kings:5:5 @And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for my name.

asv@1Kings:5:6 @Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians.

asv@1Kings:5:7 @And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.

asv@1Kings:5:8 @And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the message which thou hast sent unto me: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

asv@1Kings:5:9 @My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

asv@1Kings:5:10 @So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.

asv@1Kings:5:11 @And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.

asv@1Kings:5:12 @And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.

asv@1Kings:5:13 @And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.

asv@1Kings:5:14 @And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to taskwork.

asv@1Kings:5:15 @And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains;

asv@1Kings:5:16 @besides Solomon's chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.

asv@1Kings:5:17 @And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.

asv@1Kings:5:18 @And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.

asv@1Kings:6:1 @And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:6:2 @And the house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.

asv@1Kings:6:3 @And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.

asv@1Kings:6:4 @And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-work.

asv@1Kings:6:5 @And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.

asv@1Kings:6:6 @The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.

asv@1Kings:6:7 @And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

asv@1Kings:6:8 @The door for the middle side-chambers was in the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the third.

asv@1Kings:6:9 @So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.

asv@1Kings:6:10 @And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

asv@1Kings:6:11 @And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon, saying,

asv@1Kings:6:12 @Concerning this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father.

asv@1Kings:6:13 @And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

asv@1Kings:6:14 @So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

asv@1Kings:6:15 @And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.

asv@1Kings:6:16 @And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the walls of the ceiling: he built them for it within, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.

asv@1Kings:6:17 @And the house, that is, the temple before the oracle, was forty cubits long.

asv@1Kings:6:18 @And there was cedar on the house within, carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

asv@1Kings:6:19 @And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:6:20 @And within the oracle was a space of twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.

asv@1Kings:6:21 @So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.

asv@1Kings:6:22 @And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that belonged to the oracle he overlaid with gold.

asv@1Kings:6:23 @And in the oracle he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.

asv@1Kings:6:24 @And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

asv@1Kings:6:25 @And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

asv@1Kings:6:26 @The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.

asv@1Kings:6:27 @And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.

asv@1Kings:6:28 @And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

asv@1Kings:6:29 @And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without.

asv@1Kings:6:30 @And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

asv@1Kings:6:31 @And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel and door-posts were a fifth part of the wall.

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

asv@1Kings:6:33 @So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part of the wall;

asv@1Kings:6:34 @and two doors of fir-wood: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

asv@1Kings:6:35 @And he carved thereon cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.

asv@1Kings:6:36 @And he built the inner court with three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams.

asv@1Kings:6:37 @In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of Jehovah laid, in the month Ziv.

asv@1Kings:6:38 @And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

asv@1Kings:7:1 @And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

asv@1Kings:7:2 @For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

asv@1Kings:7:3 @And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row.

asv@1Kings:7:4 @And there were beams in three rows, and window was over against window in three ranks.

asv@1Kings:7:5 @And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and window was over against window in three ranks.

asv@1Kings:7:6 @And he made the porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.

asv@1Kings:7:7 @And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.

asv@1Kings:7:8 @And his house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like unto this porch.

asv@1Kings:7:9 @All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.

asv@1Kings:7:10 @And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

asv@1Kings:7:11 @And above were costly stones, even hewn stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.

asv@1Kings:7:12 @And the great court round about had three courses of hewn stone, and a course of cedar beams; like as the inner court of the house of Jehovah, and the porch of the house.

asv@1Kings:7:13 @And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

asv@1Kings:7:14 @He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

asv@1Kings:7:15 @For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits compassed either of them about.

asv@1Kings:7:16 @And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

asv@1Kings:7:17 @There were nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

asv@1Kings:7:18 @So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other capital.

asv@1Kings:7:19 @And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.

asv@1Kings:7:20 @And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other capital.

asv@1Kings:7:21 @And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.

asv@1Kings:7:22 @And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

asv@1Kings:7:23 @And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

asv@1Kings:7:24 @And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

asv@1Kings:7:25 @It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.

asv@1Kings:7:26 @And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

asv@1Kings:7:27 @And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

asv@1Kings:7:28 @And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;

asv@1Kings:7:29 @and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

asv@1Kings:7:30 @And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

asv@1Kings:7:31 @And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.

asv@1Kings:7:32 @And the four wheels were underneath the panels; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

asv@1Kings:7:33 @And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.

asv@1Kings:7:34 @And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself.

asv@1Kings:7:35 @And in the top of the base was there a round compass half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the panels thereof were of the same.

asv@1Kings:7:36 @And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the panels thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

asv@1Kings:7:37 @After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

asv@1Kings:7:38 @And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon very one of the ten bases one laver.

asv@1Kings:7:39 @And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.

asv@1Kings:7:40 @And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah:

asv@1Kings:7:41 @the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;

asv@1Kings:7:42 @and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;

asv@1Kings:7:43 @and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;

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

asv@1Kings:7:45 @and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Jehovah, were of burnished brass.

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

asv@1Kings:7:47 @And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.

asv@1Kings:7:48 @And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;

asv@1Kings:7:49 @and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

asv@1Kings:7:50 @and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple, of gold.

asv@1Kings:7:51 @Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of Jehovah was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:8:1 @Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

asv@1Kings:8:2 @And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

asv@1Kings:8:3 @And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

asv@1Kings:8:4 @And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

asv@1Kings:8:5 @And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

asv@1Kings:8:6 @And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

asv@1Kings:8:7 @For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

asv@1Kings:8:8 @And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

asv@1Kings:8:9 @There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

asv@1Kings:8:10 @And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

asv@1Kings:8:11 @so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:8:12 @Then spake Solomon, Jehovah hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

asv@1Kings:8:13 @I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in for ever.

asv@1Kings:8:14 @And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.

asv@1Kings:8:15 @And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David thy father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

asv@1Kings:8:16 @Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

asv@1Kings:8:17 @Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

asv@1Kings:8:18 @But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:

asv@1Kings:8:19 @nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

asv@1Kings:8:20 @And Jehovah hath established his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.

asv@1Kings:8:21 @And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

asv@1Kings:8:22 @And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

asv@1Kings:8:23 @and he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keepest covenant and lovingkindness with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart;

asv@1Kings:8:24 @who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.

asv@1Kings:8:25 @Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

asv@1Kings:8:26 @Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

asv@1Kings:8:27 @But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded!

asv@1Kings:8:28 @Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;

asv@1Kings:8:29 @that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou hast said, My name shall be there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.

asv@1Kings:8:30 @And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place; and when thou hearest, forgive.

asv@1Kings:8:31 @If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come and swear before thine altar in this house;

asv@1Kings:8:32 @then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

asv@1Kings:8:33 @When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication unto thee in this house:

asv@1Kings:8:34 @then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

asv@1Kings:8:35 @When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:

asv@1Kings:8:36 @then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

asv@1Kings:8:37 @If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;

asv@1Kings:8:43 @hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by my name.

asv@1Kings:8:44 @If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto Jehovah toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name;

asv@1Kings:8:46 @If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, far off or near;

asv@1Kings:8:47 @yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly;

asv@1Kings:8:48 @if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

asv@1Kings:8:51 @(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

asv@1Kings:8:52 @that thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them whensoever they cry unto thee.

asv@1Kings:8:53 @For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:8:54 @And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

asv@1Kings:8:55 @And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

asv@1Kings:8:56 @Blessed be Jehovah, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

asv@1Kings:8:57 @Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us;

asv@1Kings:8:58 @that he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

asv@1Kings:8:59 @And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh unto Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;

asv@1Kings:8:60 @that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.

asv@1Kings:8:61 @Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

asv@1Kings:8:62 @And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:8:63 @And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered unto Jehovah, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:8:64 @The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

asv@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

asv@1Kings:8:66 @On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had showed unto David his servant, and to Israel his people.

asv@1Kings:9:1 @And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

asv@1Kings:9:2 @that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.

asv@1Kings:9:3 @And Jehovah said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

asv@1Kings:9:4 @And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;

asv@1Kings:9:5 @then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, according as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

asv@1Kings:9:6 @But if ye shall turn away from following me, ye or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

asv@1Kings:9:7 @then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

asv@1Kings:9:8 @And though this house is so high, yet shall every one that passeth by it be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath Jehovah done thus unto this land, and to this house?

asv@1Kings:9:9 @and they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath Jehovah brought all this evil upon them.

asv@1Kings:9:10 @And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house,

asv@1Kings:9:11 @(now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

asv@1Kings:9:12 @And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.

asv@1Kings:9:13 @And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

asv@1Kings:9:14 @And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

asv@1Kings:9:15 @And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

asv@1Kings:9:16 @Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a portion unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.

asv@1Kings:9:17 @And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,

asv@1Kings:9:18 @and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,

asv@1Kings:9:19 @and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

asv@1Kings:9:20 @As for all the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;

asv@1Kings:9:21 @their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day.

asv@1Kings:9:22 @But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

asv@1Kings:9:23 @These were the chief officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, who bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.

asv@1Kings:9:24 @But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.

asv@1Kings:9:25 @And three times a year did Solomon offer burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he built unto Jehovah, burning incense therewith, upon the altar that was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.

asv@1Kings:9:26 @And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

asv@1Kings:9:27 @And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

asv@1Kings:9:28 @And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

asv@1Kings:10:1 @And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, she came to prove him with hard questions.

asv@1Kings:10:2 @And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

asv@1Kings:10:3 @And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he told her not.

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

asv@1Kings:10:5 @and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.

asv@1Kings:10:6 @And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.

asv@1Kings:10:7 @Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

asv@1Kings:10:8 @Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

asv@1Kings:10:9 @Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because Jehovah loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do justice and righteousness.

asv@1Kings:10:10 @And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

asv@1Kings:10:11 @And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug-trees and precious stones.

asv@1Kings:10:12 @And the king made of the almug-trees pillars for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for the singers: there came no such almug-trees, nor were seen, unto this day.

asv@1Kings:10:13 @And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

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

asv@1Kings:10:15 @besides that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mingled people, and of the governors of the country.

asv@1Kings:10:16 @And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.

asv@1Kings:10:17 @And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

asv@1Kings:10:18 @Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.

asv@1Kings:10:19 @There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.

asv@1Kings:10:20 @And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.

asv@1Kings:10:21 @And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

asv@1Kings:10:22 @For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

asv@1Kings:10:23 @So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

asv@1Kings:10:24 @And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

asv@1Kings:10:25 @And they brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

asv@1Kings:10:26 @And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

asv@1Kings:10:27 @And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

asv@1Kings:10:28 @And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king's merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.

asv@1Kings:10:29 @And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.

asv@1Kings:11:1 @Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;

asv@1Kings:11:2 @of the nations concerning which Jehovah said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

asv@1Kings:11:3 @And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

asv@1Kings:11:4 @For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as was the heart of David his father.

asv@1Kings:11:5 @For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

asv@1Kings:11:6 @And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and went not fully after Jehovah, as did David his father.

asv@1Kings:11:7 @Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

asv@1Kings:11:8 @And so did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

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

asv@1Kings:11:10 @and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which Jehovah commanded.

asv@1Kings:11:11 @Wherefore Jehovah said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

asv@1Kings:11:12 @Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

asv@1Kings:11:13 @Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

asv@1Kings:11:14 @And Jehovah raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

asv@1Kings:11:15 @For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom;

asv@1Kings:11:16 @(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);

asv@1Kings:11:17 @that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.

asv@1Kings:11:18 @And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

asv@1Kings:11:19 @And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

asv@1Kings:11:20 @And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.

asv@1Kings:11:21 @And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.

asv@1Kings:11:22 @Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit only let me depart.

asv@1Kings:11:23 @And God raised up another adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

asv@1Kings:11:24 @And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

asv@1Kings:11:25 @And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

asv@1Kings:11:26 @And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.

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

asv@1Kings:11:28 @And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.

asv@1Kings:11:29 @And it came to pass at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.

asv@1Kings:11:30 @And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces.

asv@1Kings:11:31 @And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee;

asv@1Kings:11:32 @(but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel);

asv@1Kings:11:33 @because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and mine ordinances, as did David his father.

asv@1Kings:11:34 @Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;

asv@1Kings:11:35 @but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.

asv@1Kings:11:36 @And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

asv@1Kings:11:37 @And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

asv@1Kings:11:38 @And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

asv@1Kings:11:39 @And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

asv@1Kings:11:40 @Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

asv@1Kings:11:41 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

asv@1Kings:11:42 @And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

asv@1Kings:11:43 @And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

asv@1Kings:12:1 @And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

asv@1Kings:12:2 @And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,

asv@1Kings:12:3 @and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

asv@1Kings:12:4 @Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

asv@1Kings:12:5 @And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

asv@1Kings:12:6 @And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?

asv@1Kings:12:7 @And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

asv@1Kings:12:8 @But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.

asv@1Kings:12:9 @And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?

asv@1Kings:12:10 @And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.

asv@1Kings:12:11 @And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

asv@1Kings:12:12 @So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day.

asv@1Kings:12:13 @And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,

asv@1Kings:12:14 @and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

asv@1Kings:12:15 @So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of Jehovah, that he might establish his word, which Jehovah spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

asv@1Kings:12:16 @And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

asv@1Kings:12:17 @But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

asv@1Kings:12:18 @Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

asv@1Kings:12:19 @So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

asv@1Kings:12:20 @And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

asv@1Kings:12:21 @And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

asv@1Kings:12:22 @But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

asv@1Kings:12:23 @Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,

asv@1Kings:12:24 @Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the word of Jehovah, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:12:25 @Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.

asv@1Kings:12:26 @And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now will the kingdom return to the house of David:

asv@1Kings:12:27 @if this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, then will the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.

asv@1Kings:12:28 @Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

asv@1Kings:12:29 @And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.

asv@1Kings:12:30 @And this thing became a sin; for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

asv@1Kings:12:31 @And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.

asv@1Kings:12:32 @And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.

asv@1Kings:12:33 @And he went up unto the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and went up unto the altar, to burn incense.

asv@1Kings:13:1 @And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Jehovah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

asv@1Kings:13:2 @And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall they burn upon thee.

asv@1Kings:13:3 @And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Jehovah hath spoken: Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

asv@1Kings:13:4 @And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to him.

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

asv@1Kings:13:6 @And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

asv@1Kings:13:7 @And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

asv@1Kings:13:8 @And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;

asv@1Kings:13:9 @for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.

asv@1Kings:13:10 @So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.

asv@1Kings:13:11 @Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father.

asv@1Kings:13:12 @And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, that came from Judah.

asv@1Kings:13:13 @And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass; and he rode thereon.

asv@1Kings:13:14 @And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

asv@1Kings:13:15 @Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

asv@1Kings:13:16 @And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

asv@1Kings:13:17 @for it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

asv@1Kings:13:18 @And he said unto him, I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

asv@1Kings:13:19 @So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

asv@1Kings:13:20 @And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came unto the prophet that brought him back;

asv@1Kings:13:21 @and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedient unto the mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the commandment which Jehovah thy God commanded thee,

asv@1Kings:13:22 @but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy body shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

asv@1Kings:13:23 @And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

asv@1Kings:13:24 @And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his body was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the body.

asv@1Kings:13:25 @And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

asv@1Kings:13:26 @And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the mouth of Jehovah: therefore Jehovah hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake unto him.

asv@1Kings:13:27 @And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled it.

asv@1Kings:13:28 @And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the ass.

asv@1Kings:13:29 @And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.

asv@1Kings:13:30 @And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

asv@1Kings:13:31 @And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

asv@1Kings:13:32 @For the saying which he cried by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

asv@1Kings:13:33 @After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.

asv@1Kings:13:34 @And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

asv@1Kings:14:1 @At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

asv@1Kings:14:2 @And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spake concerning me that I should be king over this people.

asv@1Kings:14:3 @And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the child.

asv@1Kings:14:4 @And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

asv@1Kings:14:5 @And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to inquire of thee concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it will be, when she cometh in, that she will feign herself to be another woman.

asv@1Kings:14:6 @And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.

asv@1Kings:14:7 @Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,

asv@1Kings:14:8 @and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes,

asv@1Kings:14:9 @but hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

asv@1Kings:14:10 @therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man-child, him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung, till it be all gone.

asv@1Kings:14:13 @And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

asv@1Kings:14:14 @Moreover Jehovah will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.

asv@1Kings:14:15 @For Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Jehovah to anger.

asv@1Kings:14:16 @And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he hath sinned, and wherewith he hath made Israel to sin.

Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

asv@1Kings:14:22 @And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

asv@1Kings:14:23 @For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

asv@1Kings:14:24 @and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the children of Israel.

asv@1Kings:14:26 @and he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

asv@1Kings:14:27 @And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

asv@1Kings:16:23 @In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, and reigned twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

asv@1Kings:16:24 @And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill, Samaria.

asv@1Kings:16:25 @And Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and dealt wickedly above all that were before him.

asv@1Kings:16:30 @And Ahab the son of Omri did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah above all that were before him.

asv@1Kings:16:31 @And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.

asv@1Kings:16:32 @And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

asv@1Kings:16:33 @And Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did yet more to provoke Jehovah, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

asv@1Kings:16:34 @In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof with the loss of Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates thereof with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

asv@1Kings:17:1 @And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

asv@1Kings:17:2 @And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,

asv@1Kings:17:3 @Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

asv@1Kings:17:4 @And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

asv@1Kings:17:5 @So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

asv@1Kings:17:6 @And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

asv@1Kings:17:7 @And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

asv@1Kings:17:8 @And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,

asv@1Kings:17:9 @Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.

asv@1Kings:17:10 @So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

asv@1Kings:17:11 @And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.

asv@1Kings:17:12 @And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

asv@1Kings:17:13 @And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it forth unto me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.

asv@1Kings:17:14 @For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the earth.

asv@1Kings:17:15 @And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

asv@1Kings:17:16 @The jar of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by Elijah.

asv@1Kings:17:17 @And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.

asv@1Kings:17:18 @And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? thou art come unto me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!

asv@1Kings:17:19 @And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

asv@1Kings:17:20 @And he cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

asv@1Kings:17:21 @And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

asv@1Kings:17:22 @And Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

asv@1Kings:17:23 @And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

asv@1Kings:17:24 @And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.

asv@1Kings:18:1 @And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

asv@1Kings:18:2 @And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.

asv@1Kings:18:3 @And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly:

asv@1Kings:18:4 @for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

asv@1Kings:18:5 @And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.

asv@1Kings:18:6 @So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

asv@1Kings:18:7 @And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it thou, my lord Elijah?

asv@1Kings:18:8 @And he answered him, It is I: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

asv@1Kings:18:9 @And he said, Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?

asv@1Kings:18:10 @As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.

asv@1Kings:18:11 @And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

asv@1Kings:18:12 @And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me: but I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth.

asv@1Kings:18:13 @Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

asv@1Kings:18:14 @And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here; and he will slay me.

asv@1Kings:18:15 @And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to-day.

asv@1Kings:18:16 @So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

asv@1Kings:18:17 @And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?

asv@1Kings:18:18 @And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baalim.

asv@1Kings:18:19 @Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel's table.

asv@1Kings:18:20 @So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.

asv@1Kings:18:21 @And Elijah came near unto all the people, and said, How long go ye limping between the two sides? if Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

asv@1Kings:18:22 @Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, am left a prophet of Jehovah; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

asv@1Kings:18:23 @Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under.

asv@1Kings:18:24 @And call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

asv@1Kings:18:25 @And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under.

asv@1Kings:18:26 @And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped about the altar which was made.

asv@1Kings:18:27 @And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth and must be awaked.

asv@1Kings:18:28 @And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, till the blood gushed out upon them.

asv@1Kings:18:29 @And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

asv@1Kings:18:30 @And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me; and all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of Jehovah that was thrown down.

asv@1Kings:18:31 @And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Jehovah came, saying, Israel shall be thy name.

asv@1Kings:18:32 @And with the stones he built an altar in the name of Jehovah; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

asv@1Kings:18:33 @And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.

asv@1Kings:18:34 @And he said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time.

asv@1Kings:18:35 @And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

asv@1Kings:18:36 @And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

asv@1Kings:18:37 @Hear me, O Jehovah, hear me, that this people may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

asv@1Kings:18:38 @Then the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

asv@1Kings:18:39 @And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Jehovah, he is God; Jehovah, he is God.

asv@1Kings:18:40 @and Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

asv@1Kings:18:41 @And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.

asv@1Kings:18:42 @So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.

asv@1Kings:18:43 @And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

asv@1Kings:18:44 @And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a cloud out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Make ready thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.

asv@1Kings:18:45 @And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:

asv@1Kings:18:46 @and the hand of Jehovah was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

asv@1Kings:19:1 @And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

asv@1Kings:19:2 @Then Jezebel send a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time.

asv@1Kings:19:3 @And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.

asv@1Kings:19:4 @But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Jehovah, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

asv@1Kings:19:5 @And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

asv@1Kings:19:6 @And he looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.

asv@1Kings:19:7 @And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee.

asv@1Kings:19:8 @And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.

asv@1Kings:19:9 @And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?

asv@1Kings:19:10 @And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

asv@1Kings:19:11 @And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake:

asv@1Kings:19:12 @and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

asv@1Kings:19:13 @And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

asv@1Kings:19:14 @And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

asv@1Kings:19:15 @And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria;

asv@1Kings:19:16 @and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

asv@1Kings:19:17 @And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

asv@1Kings:19:18 @Yet will I leave me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

asv@1Kings:19:19 @So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him.

asv@1Kings:19:20 @And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?

asv@1Kings:20:24 @And do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their room;

asv@1Kings:20:25 @and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.

asv@1Kings:20:26 @And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.

asv@1Kings:20:27 @And the children of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, and went against them: and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.

asv@1Kings:20:28 @And a man of God came near and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys; therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:20:29 @And they encamped one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.

asv@1Kings:20:30 @But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.

asv@1Kings:20:31 @And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.

asv@1Kings:20:32 @So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.

asv@1Kings:20:33 @Now the men observed diligently, and hasted to catch whether it were his mind; and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.

asv@1Kings:20:34 @And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I, said Ahab, will let thee go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.

asv@1Kings:20:35 @And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his fellow by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.

asv@1Kings:20:36 @Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.

asv@1Kings:20:37 @Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, smiting and wounding him.

asv@1Kings:20:38 @So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.

asv@1Kings:20:39 @And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king; and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

asv@1Kings:20:40 @And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.

asv@1Kings:20:41 @And he hasted, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.

asv@1Kings:20:42 @And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.

asv@1Kings:20:43 @And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.

asv@1Kings:21:1 @And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

asv@1Kings:21:2 @And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

asv@1Kings:21:3 @And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

asv@1Kings:21:4 @And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

asv@1Kings:21:5 @But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

asv@1Kings:21:6 @And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

asv@1Kings:21:7 @And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

asv@1Kings:21:8 @So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.

asv@1Kings:21:9 @And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

asv@1Kings:21:10 @and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.

asv@1Kings:21:11 @And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

asv@1Kings:21:12 @They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

asv@1Kings:21:13 @And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

asv@1Kings:21:14 @Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

asv@1Kings:21:15 @And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

asv@1Kings:21:16 @And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

asv@1Kings:21:17 @And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

asv@1Kings:21:18 @Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.

asv@1Kings:21:19 @And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Hast thou killed and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

asv@1Kings:21:20 @And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee, because thou hast sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:21:21 @Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel:

asv@1Kings:21:22 @and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and hast made Israel to sin.

asv@1Kings:21:23 @And of Jezebel also spake Jehovah, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

asv@1Kings:21:24 @Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.

asv@1Kings:21:25 @(But there was none like unto Ahab, who did sell himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

asv@1Kings:21:26 @And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.)

asv@1Kings:21:27 @And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

asv@1Kings:21:28 @And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

asv@1Kings:21:29 @Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

asv@1Kings:22:1 @And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

asv@1Kings:22:2 @And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

asv@1Kings:22:3 @And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth-gilead is ours, and we are still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?

asv@1Kings:22:4 @And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

asv@1Kings:22:5 @And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray thee, for the word of Jehovah.

asv@1Kings:22:6 @Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.

asv@1Kings:22:7 @But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we may inquire of him?

asv@1Kings:22:8 @And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah, Micaiah the son of Imlah: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

asv@1Kings:22:9 @Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.

asv@1Kings:22:10 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

asv@1Kings:22:11 @And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith Jehovah, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until they be consumed.

asv@1Kings:22:12 @And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king.

asv@1Kings:22:13 @And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak thou good.

asv@1Kings:22:14 @And Micaiah said, As Jehovah liveth, what Jehovah saith unto me, that will I speak.

asv@1Kings:22:15 @And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up and prosper; and Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king.

asv@1Kings:22:16 @And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Jehovah?

asv@1Kings:22:17 @And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Jehovah said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.

asv@1Kings:22:18 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?

asv@1Kings:22:19 @And Micaiah said, Therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

asv@1Kings:22:20 @And Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner; and another said on that manner.

asv@1Kings:22:21 @And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him.

asv@1Kings:22:22 @And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also: go forth, and do so.

asv@1Kings:22:23 @Now therefore, behold, Jehovah hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; and Jehovah hath spoken evil concerning thee.

asv@1Kings:22:24 @Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak unto thee?

asv@1Kings:22:25 @And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

asv@1Kings:22:26 @And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

asv@1Kings:22:27 @and say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

asv@1Kings:22:28 @And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you.

asv@1Kings:22:29 @So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.

asv@1Kings:22:30 @And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

asv@1Kings:22:31 @Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty and two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.

asv@1Kings:22:32 @And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel; and they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

asv@1Kings:22:33 @And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

asv@1Kings:22:34 @And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded.

asv@1Kings:22:35 @And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even; and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.

asv@1Kings:22:36 @And there went a cry throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his country.

asv@1Kings:22:37 @So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

asv@1Kings:22:38 @And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood (now the harlots washed themselves there); according unto the word of Jehovah which he spake.

asv@1Kings:22:39 @Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

asv@1Kings:22:40 @So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

asv@1Kings:22:41 @And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

asv@1Kings:22:42 @Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

asv@1Kings:22:43 @And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; He turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah: howbeit the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

asv@1Kings:22:44 @And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

asv@1Kings:22:45 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

asv@1Kings:22:46 @And the remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.

asv@1Kings:22:47 @And there was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.

asv@1Kings:22:48 @Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

asv@1Kings:22:49 @Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

asv@1Kings:22:50 @And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

asv@1Kings:22:51 @Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.

asv@2Kings:1:2 @And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.

asv@2Kings:1:7 @And he said unto them, What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?

asv@2Kings:1:8 @And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

asv@2Kings:1:12 @And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

asv@2Kings:1:13 @And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

asv@2Kings:1:14 @Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight.

asv@2Kings:1:16 @And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

asv@2Kings:1:17 @So he died according to the word of Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.

asv@2Kings:2:9 @And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

asv@2Kings:2:10 @And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

asv@2Kings:2:11 @And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

asv@2Kings:2:12 @And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

asv@2Kings:2:14 @And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided hither and thither; and Elisha went over.

asv@2Kings:2:15 @And when the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

asv@2Kings:2:16 @And they said unto him, Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.

asv@2Kings:2:19 @And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth.

asv@2Kings:2:20 @And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

asv@2Kings:2:22 @So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spake.

asv@2Kings:2:23 @And he went up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead.

asv@2Kings:3:8 @And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.

asv@2Kings:3:9 @So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.

asv@2Kings:3:10 @And the king of Israel said, Alas! for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

asv@2Kings:3:11 @But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

asv@2Kings:3:12 @And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

asv@2Kings:3:13 @And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

asv@2Kings:3:14 @And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.

asv@2Kings:3:15 @But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him.

asv@2Kings:3:16 @And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.

asv@2Kings:3:17 @For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.

asv@2Kings:3:18 @And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.

asv@2Kings:3:19 @And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

asv@2Kings:3:20 @And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

asv@2Kings:3:21 @Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.

asv@2Kings:3:22 @And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:

asv@2Kings:3:23 @and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.

asv@2Kings:3:24 @And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.

asv@2Kings:3:25 @And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth only they left the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.

asv@2Kings:3:26 @And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.

asv@2Kings:3:27 @Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

asv@2Kings:4:1 @Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear Jehovah: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.

asv@2Kings:4:2 @And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil.

asv@2Kings:4:3 @Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

asv@2Kings:4:4 @And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

asv@2Kings:4:5 @So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out.

asv@2Kings:4:6 @And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

asv@2Kings:4:7 @Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.

asv@2Kings:4:8 @And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

asv@2Kings:4:9 @And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually.

asv@2Kings:4:10 @Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

asv@2Kings:4:11 @And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.

asv@2Kings:4:12 @And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

asv@2Kings:4:13 @And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

asv@2Kings:4:14 @And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.

asv@2Kings:4:15 @And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

asv@2Kings:4:16 @And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.

asv@2Kings:4:17 @And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.

asv@2Kings:4:18 @And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

asv@2Kings:4:19 @And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.

asv@2Kings:4:20 @And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

asv@2Kings:4:21 @And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

asv@2Kings:4:22 @And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

asv@2Kings:4:23 @And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to-day? it is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

asv@2Kings:4:24 @Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee.

asv@2Kings:4:25 @So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite:

asv@2Kings:4:26 @run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

asv@2Kings:4:27 @And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soul is vexed within her; and Jehovah hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

asv@2Kings:4:28 @Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

asv@2Kings:4:29 @Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

asv@2Kings:4:30 @And the mother of the child said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

asv@2Kings:4:31 @And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

asv@2Kings:4:32 @And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

asv@2Kings:4:33 @He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:4:34 @And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

asv@2Kings:4:35 @Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

asv@2Kings:4:36 @And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

asv@2Kings:4:37 @Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

asv@2Kings:4:38 @And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

asv@2Kings:4:39 @And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not.

asv@2Kings:4:40 @So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

asv@2Kings:4:41 @But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

asv@2Kings:4:42 @And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

asv@2Kings:4:43 @And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

asv@2Kings:4:44 @So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:5:1 @Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Jehovah had given victory unto Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.

asv@2Kings:5:2 @And the Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

asv@2Kings:5:3 @And she said unto her mistress, Would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy.

asv@2Kings:5:4 @And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maiden that is of the land of Israel.

asv@2Kings:5:5 @And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

asv@2Kings:5:6 @And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.

asv@2Kings:5:7 @And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

asv@2Kings:5:8 @And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

asv@2Kings:5:9 @So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

asv@2Kings:5:10 @And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

asv@2Kings:5:11 @But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

asv@2Kings:5:12 @Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

asv@2Kings:5:13 @And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

asv@2Kings:5:14 @Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

asv@2Kings:5:15 @And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a present of thy servant.

asv@2Kings:5:16 @But he said, As Jehovah liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

asv@2Kings:5:17 @And Naaman said, If not, yet, I pray thee, let there be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth; for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:5:18 @In this thing Jehovah pardon thy servant: when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, Jehovah pardon thy servant in this thing.

asv@2Kings:5:19 @And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.

asv@2Kings:5:20 @But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: as Jehovah liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

asv@2Kings:5:21 @So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

asv@2Kings:5:22 @And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

asv@2Kings:5:23 @And Naaman said, Be pleased to take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

asv@2Kings:5:24 @And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.

asv@2Kings:5:25 @But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

asv@2Kings:5:26 @And he said unto him, Went not my heart with thee, when the man turned from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?

asv@2Kings:5:27 @The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

asv@2Kings:6:1 @And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.

asv@2Kings:6:2 @Let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.

asv@2Kings:6:3 @And one said, Be pleased, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.

asv@2Kings:6:4 @So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

asv@2Kings:6:5 @But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.

asv@2Kings:6:6 @And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.

asv@2Kings:6:7 @And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it.

asv@2Kings:6:8 @Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.

asv@2Kings:6:9 @And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are coming down.

asv@2Kings:6:10 @And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.

asv@2Kings:6:11 @And the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?

asv@2Kings:6:12 @And one of his servants said, Nay, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

asv@2Kings:6:13 @And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

asv@2Kings:6:14 @Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.

asv@2Kings:6:15 @And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

asv@2Kings:6:16 @And he answered, Fear not; for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.

asv@2Kings:6:17 @And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

asv@2Kings:6:18 @And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Jehovah, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

asv@2Kings:6:19 @And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.

asv@2Kings:6:20 @And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

asv@2Kings:6:21 @And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?

asv@2Kings:6:22 @And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

asv@2Kings:6:23 @And he prepared great provision for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

asv@2Kings:6:24 @And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

asv@2Kings:6:25 @And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

asv@2Kings:6:26 @And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

asv@2Kings:6:27 @And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?

asv@2Kings:6:28 @And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.

asv@2Kings:6:29 @So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she hath hid her son.

asv@2Kings:6:30 @And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes (now he was passing by upon the wall); and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

asv@2Kings:6:31 @Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.

asv@2Kings:6:32 @But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?

asv@2Kings:6:33 @And while he was yet talking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah; why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?

asv@2Kings:7:1 @And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of Jehovah: thus saith Jehovah, To-morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

asv@2Kings:7:2 @Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

asv@2Kings:7:3 @Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

asv@2Kings:7:4 @If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

asv@2Kings:7:5 @And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.

asv@2Kings:7:6 @For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

asv@2Kings:7:7 @Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

asv@2Kings:7:8 @And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.

asv@2Kings:7:9 @Then they said one to another, We do not well; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household.

asv@2Kings:7:10 @So they came and called unto the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.

asv@2Kings:7:12 @And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us.

asv@2Kings:7:13 @And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed); and let us send and see.

asv@2Kings:7:14 @They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

asv@2Kings:7:15 @And they went after them unto the Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.

asv@2Kings:7:16 @And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:7:17 @And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.

asv@2Kings:7:18 @And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;

asv@2Kings:7:20 @it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.

asv@2Kings:8:1 @Now Elisha had spoken unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for Jehovah hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

asv@2Kings:8:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

asv@2Kings:8:5 @And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him that was dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land.

asv@2Kings:8:6 @And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

asv@2Kings:8:7 @And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.

asv@2Kings:8:8 @And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness?

asv@2Kings:8:9 @So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness?

asv@2Kings:8:10 @And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou shalt surely recover; howbeit Jehovah hath showed me that he shall surely die.

asv@2Kings:8:11 @And he settled his countenance stedfastly upon him, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.

asv@2Kings:8:12 @And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.

asv@2Kings:8:13 @And Hazael said, But what is thy servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, Jehovah hath showed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.

asv@2Kings:8:14 @Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou wouldest surely recover.

asv@2Kings:8:15 @And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.

asv@2Kings:8:16 @And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

asv@2Kings:8:17 @Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

asv@2Kings:8:18 @And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:8:19 @Howbeit Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give unto him a lamp for his children alway.

asv@2Kings:8:20 @In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

asv@2Kings:8:21 @Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.

asv@2Kings:8:22 @So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then did Libnah revolt at the same time.

asv@2Kings:8:23 @And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

asv@2Kings:8:24 @And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

asv@2Kings:8:25 @In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.

asv@2Kings:8:26 @Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.

asv@2Kings:8:27 @And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

asv@2Kings:8:28 @And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.

asv@2Kings:8:29 @And king Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

asv@2Kings:9:1 @And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.

asv@2Kings:9:2 @And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber.

asv@2Kings:9:3 @Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith Jehovah, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.

asv@2Kings:9:4 @So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.

asv@2Kings:9:5 @And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of us all? And he said, To thee, O captain.

asv@2Kings:9:6 @And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of Jehovah, even over Israel.

asv@2Kings:9:7 @And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, at the hand of Jezebel.

asv@2Kings:9:8 @For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel.

asv@2Kings:9:9 @And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.

asv@2Kings:9:10 @And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.

asv@2Kings:9:11 @Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man and what his talk was.

asv@2Kings:9:12 @And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I have anointed thee king over Israel.

asv@2Kings:9:13 @Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, Jehu is king.

asv@2Kings:9:14 @So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;

asv@2Kings:9:15 @but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none escape and go forth out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.

asv@2Kings:9:16 @So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.

asv@2Kings:9:17 @Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?

asv@2Kings:9:18 @So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not back.

asv@2Kings:9:19 @Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.

asv@2Kings:9:20 @And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

asv@2Kings:9:21 @And Joram said, Make ready. And they made ready his chariot. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

asv@2Kings:9:22 @And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

asv@2Kings:9:23 @And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.

asv@2Kings:9:24 @And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and smote Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

asv@2Kings:9:25 @Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, Jehovah laid this burden upon him:

asv@2Kings:9:26 @Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith Jehovah. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:9:27 @But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot: and they smote him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

asv@2Kings:9:28 @And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

asv@2Kings:9:29 @And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.

asv@2Kings:9:30 @And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.

asv@2Kings:9:31 @And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, thou Zimri, thy master's murderer?

asv@2Kings:9:32 @And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.

asv@2Kings:9:33 @And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under foot.

asv@2Kings:9:34 @And when he was come in, he did eat and drink; and he said, See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.

asv@2Kings:9:35 @And they went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

asv@2Kings:9:36 @Wherefore they came back, and told him. And he said, This is the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;

asv@2Kings:9:37 @and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

asv@2Kings:10:1 @Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up the sons of Ahab, saying,

asv@2Kings:10:2 @And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor;

asv@2Kings:10:3 @look ye out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

asv@2Kings:10:4 @But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

asv@2Kings:10:5 @And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any man king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

asv@2Kings:10:6 @Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be on my side, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

asv@2Kings:10:7 @And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel.

asv@2Kings:10:8 @And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.

asv@2Kings:10:9 @And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who smote all these?

asv@2Kings:10:10 @Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of Jehovah, which Jehovah spake concerning the house of Ahab: for Jehovah hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.

asv@2Kings:10:11 @So Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

asv@2Kings:10:12 @And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,

asv@2Kings:10:13 @Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah: and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

asv@2Kings:10:14 @And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

asv@2Kings:10:15 @And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

asv@2Kings:10:16 @And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Jehovah. So they made him ride in his chariot.

asv@2Kings:10:17 @And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake to Elijah.

asv@2Kings:10:18 @And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

asv@2Kings:10:19 @Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

asv@2Kings:10:20 @And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

asv@2Kings:10:21 @And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.

asv@2Kings:10:22 @And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

asv@2Kings:10:23 @And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of Jehovah, but the worshippers of Baal only.

asv@2Kings:10:24 @And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.

asv@2Kings:10:25 @And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

asv@2Kings:10:26 @And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.

asv@2Kings:10:27 @And they brake down the pillar of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day.

asv@2Kings:10:28 @Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

asv@2Kings:10:29 @Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.

asv@2Kings:10:30 @And Jehovah said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, thy sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

asv@2Kings:10:31 @But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Jehovah, the God of Israel, with all his heart: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin.

asv@2Kings:10:32 @In those days Jehovah began to cut off from Israel: and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel;

asv@2Kings:10:33 @from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

asv@2Kings:10:34 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

asv@2Kings:10:35 @And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

asv@2Kings:10:36 @And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.

asv@2Kings:11:1 @Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

asv@2Kings:11:2 @But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain;

asv@2Kings:11:3 @And he was with her hid in the house of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.

asv@2Kings:11:4 @And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and showed them the king's son.

asv@2Kings:11:5 @And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house;

asv@2Kings:11:8 @And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain: and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in.

asv@2Kings:11:9 @And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.

asv@2Kings:11:10 @And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:11:11 @And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.

asv@2Kings:11:12 @Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king.

asv@2Kings:11:13 @And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah:

asv@2Kings:11:14 @and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason! treason!

asv@2Kings:11:15 @And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be slain in the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:11:16 @So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house: and there was she slain.

asv@2Kings:11:17 @And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be Jehovah's people; between the king also and the people.

asv@2Kings:11:18 @And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:11:19 @And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.

asv@2Kings:18:17 @And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army unto Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.

asv@2Kings:18:18 @And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

asv@2Kings:18:19 @And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?

asv@2Kings:18:20 @Thou sayest (but they are but vain words), There is counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?

asv@2Kings:18:21 @Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

asv@2Kings:18:22 @But if ye say unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God; is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

asv@2Kings:18:23 @Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

asv@2Kings:18:24 @How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

asv@2Kings:18:25 @Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

asv@2Kings:18:26 @Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

asv@2Kings:18:27 @But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?

asv@2Kings:18:28 @Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.

asv@2Kings:18:29 @Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

asv@2Kings:18:30 @neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

asv@2Kings:18:31 @Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;

asv@2Kings:18:32 @Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive-trees and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.

asv@2Kings:18:33 @Hath any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

asv@2Kings:18:34 @Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

asv@2Kings:18:35 @Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

asv@2Kings:18:36 @But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

asv@2Kings:18:37 @Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

asv@2Kings:19:1 @And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:19:2 @And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

asv@2Kings:19:3 @And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

asv@2Kings:19:4 @It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.

asv@2Kings:19:5 @So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

asv@2Kings:19:6 @And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

asv@2Kings:19:7 @Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

asv@2Kings:19:8 @So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

asv@2Kings:19:9 @And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee, he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,

asv@2Kings:19:10 @Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

asv@2Kings:19:11 @Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?

asv@2Kings:19:12 @Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?

asv@2Kings:19:13 @Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?

asv@2Kings:19:14 @And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:19:15 @And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, that sittest above the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.

asv@2Kings:19:16 @Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to defy the living God.

asv@2Kings:19:17 @Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,

asv@2Kings:19:18 @and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.

asv@2Kings:19:19 @Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou Jehovah art God alone.

asv@2Kings:19:20 @Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard thee.

asv@2Kings:19:21 @This is the word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

asv@2Kings:19:22 @Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

asv@2Kings:19:23 @By thy messengers thou hast defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field.

asv@2Kings:19:24 @I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.

asv@2Kings:19:25 @Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.

asv@2Kings:19:26 @Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blasted before it is grown up.

asv@2Kings:19:27 @But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.

asv@2Kings:19:28 @Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

asv@2Kings:19:29 @And this shall be the sign unto thee: Ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

asv@2Kings:19:30 @And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

asv@2Kings:19:31 @For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of Jehovah shall perform this.

asv@2Kings:19:32 @Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.

asv@2Kings:19:33 @By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:19:34 @For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

asv@2Kings:19:35 @And it came to pass that night, that the angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.

asv@2Kings:19:36 @So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

asv@2Kings:19:37 @And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.

asv@2Kings:20:1 @In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Set thy house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.

asv@2Kings:20:2 @Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto Jehovah, saying,

asv@2Kings:20:3 @Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

asv@2Kings:20:4 @And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Jehovah came to him, saying,

asv@2Kings:20:5 @Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the prince of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee; on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:20:6 @And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

asv@2Kings:20:7 @And Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

asv@2Kings:20:8 @And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up unto the house of Jehovah the third day?

asv@2Kings:20:9 @And Isaiah said, This shall be the sign unto thee from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?

asv@2Kings:20:10 @And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten steps: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps.

asv@2Kings:20:11 @And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Jehovah; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

asv@2Kings:20:12 @At that time Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

asv@2Kings:20:13 @And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

asv@2Kings:20:14 @Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.

asv@2Kings:20:15 @And he said, What have they seen in thy house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.

asv@2Kings:20:16 @And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:20:17 @Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:20:18 @And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

asv@2Kings:20:19 @Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of Jehovah which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, Is it not so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?

asv@2Kings:20:20 @Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

asv@2Kings:20:21 @And Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

asv@2Kings:21:1 @Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hephzibah.

asv@2Kings:21:2 @And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, after the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.

asv@2Kings:21:3 @For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

asv@2Kings:21:4 @And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, whereof Jehovah said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

asv@2Kings:21:5 @And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:21:6 @And he made his son to pass through the fire, and practised augury, and used enchantments, and dealt with them that had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

asv@2Kings:21:7 @And he set the graven image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which Jehovah said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever;

asv@2Kings:21:8 @neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.

asv@2Kings:21:9 @But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations whom Jehovah destroyed before the children of Israel.

asv@2Kings:21:10 @And Jehovah spake by his servants the prophets, saying,

asv@2Kings:21:11 @Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, that were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols;

asv@2Kings:21:12 @therefore thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

asv@2Kings:21:13 @And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

asv@2Kings:21:14 @And I will cast off the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

asv@2Kings:21:15 @because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.

asv@2Kings:21:16 @Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:21:17 @Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

asv@2Kings:21:18 @And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

asv@2Kings:21:21 @And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:

asv@2Kings:21:22 @and he forsook Jehovah, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:21:23 @And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

asv@2Kings:21:24 @But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

asv@2Kings:22:8 @And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of Jehovah. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

asv@2Kings:22:9 @And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:22:10 @And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

asv@2Kings:22:17 @Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.

asv@2Kings:22:18 @But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard,

asv@2Kings:22:19 @because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before Jehovah, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:22:20 @Therefore, behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

asv@2Kings:23:24 @Moreover them that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Kings:23:25 @And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

asv@2Kings:23:26 @Notwithstanding, Jehovah turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked him.

asv@2Kings:23:27 @And Jehovah said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

asv@2Kings:23:28 @Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

asv@2Kings:23:29 @In his days Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh-necoh slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

asv@2Kings:23:30 @And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.

asv@2Kings:23:31 @Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

asv@2Kings:23:32 @And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.

asv@2Kings:23:33 @And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

asv@2Kings:23:34 @And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

asv@2Kings:23:35 @And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.

asv@2Kings:23:36 @Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

asv@2Kings:24:1 @In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.

asv@2Kings:24:2 @And Jehovah sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servants the prophets.

asv@2Kings:24:3 @Surely at the commandment of Jehovah came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,

asv@2Kings:24:4 @and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Jehovah would not pardon.

asv@2Kings:24:5 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

asv@2Kings:24:6 @So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

asv@2Kings:24:7 @And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

asv@2Kings:24:8 @Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

asv@2Kings:24:10 @At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

asv@2Kings:24:11 @And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came unto the city, while his servants were besieging it;

asv@2Kings:24:12 @and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

asv@2Kings:24:13 @And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.

asv@2Kings:24:14 @And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

asv@2Kings:24:15 @And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

asv@2Kings:24:16 @And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths a thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

asv@2Kings:24:17 @And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king is his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

asv@2Kings:24:20 @For through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

asv@2Kings:25:1 @And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

asv@2Kings:25:2 @So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

asv@2Kings:25:3 @On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

asv@2Kings:25:4 @Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.

asv@2Kings:25:5 @But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

asv@2Kings:25:6 @Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

asv@2Kings:25:7 @And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

asv@2Kings:25:8 @Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.

asv@2Kings:25:9 @And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.

asv@2Kings:25:10 @And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

asv@2Kings:25:11 @And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.

asv@2Kings:25:12 @But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

asv@2Kings:25:13 @And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

asv@2Kings:25:14 @And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

asv@2Kings:25:15 @And the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

asv@2Kings:25:16 @The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

asv@2Kings:25:17 @The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with network.

asv@2Kings:25:18 @And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

asv@2Kings:25:19 @and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.

asv@2Kings:25:21 @And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

asv@2Kings:25:22 @And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.

asv@2Kings:25:23 @Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

asv@2Kings:25:24 @And Gedaliah sware to them and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

asv@2Kings:25:25 @But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.

asv@2Kings:25:26 @And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

asv@2Kings:25:27 @And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

asv@2Kings:25:28 @and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

asv@2Kings:25:30 @and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.

asv@1Chronicles:1:43 @Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there resigned any king over the children of Israel: Bela the son of Beor; and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

asv@2Chronicles:2:3 @And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.

asv@2Chronicles:16:1 @In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

asv@2Chronicles:16:2 @Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

asv@2Chronicles:16:11 @And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:18:5 @Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.

asv@2Chronicles:18:7 @And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good concerning me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

asv@2Chronicles:18:8 @Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

asv@2Chronicles:18:9 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

asv@2Chronicles:18:11 @And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will deliver it into the hand of the king.

asv@2Chronicles:18:12 @And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.

asv@2Chronicles:18:14 @And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they shall be delivered into your hand.

asv@2Chronicles:18:15 @And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Jehovah?

asv@2Chronicles:18:17 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?

asv@2Chronicles:18:19 @And Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

asv@2Chronicles:18:29 @And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.

asv@2Chronicles:18:30 @Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:18:31 @And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they turned about to fight against him: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

asv@2Chronicles:18:32 @And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

asv@2Chronicles:18:33 @And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: wherefore he said to the driver of the chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded.

asv@2Chronicles:19:1 @And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

asv@2Chronicles:19:2 @And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the wicked, and love them that hate Jehovah? for this thing wrath is upon thee from before Jehovah.

asv@2Chronicles:20:6 @and he said, O Jehovah, the God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and art not thou ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in thy hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee.

asv@2Chronicles:20:25 @And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.

asv@2Chronicles:20:29 @And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:20:34 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:20:35 @And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel; the same did very wickedly:

asv@2Chronicles:21:2 @And he had brethren, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:25:25 @And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

asv@2Chronicles:26:21 @And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Jehovah: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

asv@2Chronicles:27:5 @He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley.

asv@2Chronicles:28:7 @And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.

asv@2Chronicles:28:16 @At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

asv@2Chronicles:28:19 @For Jehovah brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed sore against Jehovah.

asv@2Chronicles:28:20 @And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

asv@2Chronicles:28:21 @For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Jehovah, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but it helped him not.

asv@2Chronicles:28:22 @And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against Jehovah, this same king Ahaz.

asv@2Chronicles:28:23 @For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:28:27 @And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

asv@2Chronicles:29:15 @And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.

asv@2Chronicles:29:24 @and the priests killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering should be made for all Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:29:25 @And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah by his prophets.

asv@2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

asv@2Chronicles:29:29 @And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.

asv@2Chronicles:29:30 @Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

asv@2Chronicles:30:2 @For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

asv@2Chronicles:30:4 @And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.

asv@2Chronicles:30:6 @So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

asv@2Chronicles:30:12 @Also upon Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of Jehovah.

asv@2Chronicles:30:24 @For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the assembly for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

asv@2Chronicles:30:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

asv@2Chronicles:31:3 @He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.

asv@2Chronicles:31:13 @And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

asv@2Chronicles:32:15 @Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believe ye him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?

asv@2Chronicles:32:20 @And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.

asv@2Chronicles:32:22 @Thus Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

asv@2Chronicles:32:23 @And many brought gifts unto Jehovah to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

asv@Ezra:7:14 @Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand,

asv@Ezra:7:15 @and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,

asv@Ezra:7:20 @And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house.

asv@Ezra:7:21 @And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers that are beyond the River, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,

asv@Ezra:7:23 @Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

asv@Ezra:7:26 @And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed upon him with all diligence, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

asv@Ezra:7:28 @and hath extended lovingkindness unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened according to the hand of Jehovah my God upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

asv@Ezra:8:25 @and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered:

asv@Nehemiah:2:5 @And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.

asv@Esther:1:5 @And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.

asv@Esther:1:7 @And they gave them drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.

asv@Esther:1:8 @And the drinking was according to the law; none could compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

asv@Esther:1:9 @Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.

asv@Esther:1:10 @On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

asv@Esther:1:12 @But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by the chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

asv@Esther:1:13 @Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment;

asv@Esther:1:14 @and the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom),

asv@Esther:1:15 @What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

asv@Esther:1:16 @And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

asv@Esther:1:17 @For this deed of the queen will come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

asv@Esther:1:18 @And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say the like unto all the king's princes. So will there arise much contempt and wrath.

asv@Esther:1:19 @If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.

asv@Esther:1:20 @And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.

asv@Esther:1:21 @And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:

asv@Esther:1:22 @for he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and should speak according to the language of his people.

asv@Esther:2:1 @After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

asv@Esther:2:2 @Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:

asv@Esther:2:3 @and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them;

asv@Esther:2:4 @and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

asv@Esther:2:6 @who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

asv@Esther:2:8 @So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

asv@Esther:2:9 @And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king's house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women.

asv@Esther:2:12 @Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),

asv@Esther:2:13 @then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

asv@Esther:2:14 @In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.

asv@Esther:2:15 @Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

asv@Esther:2:16 @So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

asv@Esther:2:17 @And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

asv@Esther:2:18 @Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.

asv@Esther:2:19 @And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate.

asv@Esther:2:21 @In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

asv@Esther:2:22 @And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king thereof in Mordecai's name.

asv@Esther:2:23 @And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.

asv@Esther:3:1 @After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

asv@Esther:3:2 @And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence.

asv@Esther:3:3 @Then the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?

asv@Esther:3:6 @But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

asv@Esther:3:7 @In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

asv@Esther:3:8 @And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

asv@Esther:3:9 @If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.

asv@Esther:3:10 @And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.

asv@Esther:3:11 @And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.

asv@Esther:3:12 @Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.

asv@Esther:3:13 @And letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

asv@Esther:3:15 @The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.

asv@Esther:4:2 @and he came even before the king's gate: for none might enter within the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

asv@Esther:4:3 @And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

asv@Esther:4:5 @Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.

asv@Esther:4:6 @So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king's gate.

asv@Esther:4:7 @And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

asv@Esther:4:8 @Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people.

asv@Esther:4:11 @All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

asv@Esther:4:13 @Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

asv@Esther:4:14 @For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father's house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

asv@Esther:4:16 @Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

asv@Esther:5:1 @Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.

asv@Esther:5:2 @And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

asv@Esther:5:3 @Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.

asv@Esther:5:4 @And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

asv@Esther:5:5 @Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

asv@Esther:5:6 @And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

asv@Esther:5:9 @Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.

asv@Esther:5:11 @And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

asv@Esther:5:12 @Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king.

asv@Esther:5:13 @Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

asv@Esther:5:14 @Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.

asv@Esther:6:1 @On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

asv@Esther:6:2 @And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those that kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

asv@Esther:6:3 @And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been bestowed on Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.

asv@Esther:6:4 @And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

asv@Esther:6:5 @And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

asv@Esther:6:6 @So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?

asv@Esther:6:7 @And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,

asv@Esther:6:8 @let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:

asv@Esther:6:10 @Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

asv@Esther:6:14 @While they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

asv@Esther:7:1 @So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

asv@Esther:7:2 @And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

asv@Esther:7:3 @Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

asv@Esther:7:4 @for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's damage.

asv@Esther:7:6 @And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

asv@Esther:7:7 @And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

asv@Esther:7:8 @Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

asv@Esther:7:9 @Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.

asv@Esther:7:10 @So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

asv@Esther:8:1 @On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

asv@Esther:8:2 @And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

asv@Esther:8:3 @And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

asv@Esther:8:4 @Then the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

asv@Esther:8:5 @And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king's provinces:

asv@Esther:8:7 @Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

asv@Esther:8:8 @Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.

asv@Esther:8:9 @Then were the king's scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

asv@Esther:8:10 @And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by post on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king's service, bred of the stud:

asv@Esther:8:11 @wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

asv@Esther:8:12 @upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

asv@Esther:8:14 @So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king's service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace.

asv@Esther:8:15 @And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.

asv@Esther:8:17 @And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.

asv@Esther:9:1 @Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them,)

asv@Esther:9:2 @the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.

asv@Esther:9:3 @And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king's business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.

asv@Esther:9:4 @For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

asv@Esther:9:11 @On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

asv@Esther:9:12 @And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

asv@Esther:9:13 @Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

asv@Esther:9:14 @And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

asv@Esther:9:16 @And the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.

asv@Esther:9:20 @And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,

asv@Esther:9:25 @but when the matter came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

asv@Esther:9:30 @And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

asv@Esther:10:1 @And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

asv@Esther:10:2 @And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

asv@Daniel:3:18 @But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

asv@Daniel:3:22 @Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.

asv@Daniel:3:24 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

asv@Daniel:3:25 @He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

asv@Daniel:3:27 @And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.

asv@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

asv@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.

asv@Daniel:4:1 @Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.

asv@Daniel:4:3 @How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

asv@Daniel:4:17 @The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men.

asv@Daniel:4:18 @This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

asv@Daniel:4:19 @Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken dumb for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries.

asv@Daniel:4:22 @it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

asv@Daniel:4:23 @And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

asv@Daniel:4:24 @this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

asv@Daniel:4:25 @that thou shalt be driven from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee; till thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

asv@Daniel:4:26 @And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.

asv@Daniel:4:27 @Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

asv@Daniel:4:28 @All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

asv@Daniel:4:29 @At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon.

asv@Daniel:4:30 @The king spake and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

asv@Daniel:4:31 @While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken: The kingdom is departed from thee:

asv@Daniel:4:32 @and thou shalt be driven from men; and they dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; thou shalt be made to eat grass as oxen; and seven times shall pass over thee; until thou know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

asv@Daniel:4:34 @And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him that liveth for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

asv@Daniel:4:36 @At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added unto me.

asv@Daniel:4:37 @Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are truth, and his ways justice; and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

asv@Daniel:5:1 @Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

asv@Daniel:5:2 @Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, might drink therefrom.

asv@Daniel:5:3 @Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines, drank from them.

asv@Daniel:5:5 @In the same hour came forth the fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

asv@Daniel:5:6 @Then the king's countenance was changed in him, and his thoughts troubled him; and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

asv@Daniel:5:7 @The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers.

asv@Daniel:5:8 @Then came in all the king's wise men; but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:5:9 @Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.

asv@Daniel:5:10 @Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: the queen spake and said, O king, live forever; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed.

asv@Daniel:5:11 @There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

asv@Daniel:5:12 @forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:5:13 @Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?

asv@Daniel:5:16 @But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and dissolve doubts; now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.

asv@Daniel:5:17 @Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

asv@Daniel:5:18 @O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty:

asv@Daniel:5:20 @But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

asv@Daniel:5:21 @and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts', and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; until he knew that the Most High God ruleth in the kingdom of men, and that he setteth up over it whomsoever he will.

asv@Daniel:5:26 @This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and brought it to an end;

asv@Daniel:5:28 @PERES; thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

asv@Daniel:5:29 @Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

asv@Daniel:5:30 @In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain.

asv@Daniel:5:31 @And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.

asv@Daniel:6:1 @It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the whole kingdom;

asv@Daniel:6:2 @and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.

asv@Daniel:6:3 @Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

asv@Daniel:6:4 @Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

asv@Daniel:6:6 @Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.

asv@Daniel:6:7 @All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

asv@Daniel:6:8 @Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

asv@Daniel:6:9 @Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.

asv@Daniel:6:11 @Then these men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

asv@Daniel:6:12 @Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

asv@Daniel:6:13 @Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

asv@Daniel:6:14 @Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.

asv@Daniel:6:15 @Then these men assembled together unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

asv@Daniel:6:16 @Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.

asv@Daniel:6:17 @And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

asv@Daniel:6:18 @Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him.

asv@Daniel:6:19 @Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

asv@Daniel:6:20 @And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?

asv@Daniel:6:21 @Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

asv@Daniel:6:22 @My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

asv@Daniel:6:23 @Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

asv@Daniel:6:24 @And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.

asv@Daniel:6:25 @Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied unto you.

asv@Daniel:6:26 @I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, And his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

asv@Daniel:7:24 @And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.

asv@Daniel:7:27 @And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

asv@Daniel:8:1 @In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

asv@Daniel:8:13 @Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

asv@Daniel:8:21 @And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

asv@Daniel:8:23 @And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

asv@Daniel:8:27 @And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.

asv@Daniel:10:13 @But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me: and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

asv@Daniel:11:4 @And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.
