rsv@Genesis:28:11 @ And he came to a certain place, and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep.

rsv@Genesis:29:25 @ And in the morning, behold, it was Leah; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

rsv@Genesis:30:15 @ But she said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes also?" Rachel said, "Then he may lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."

rsv@Genesis:30:16 @ When Jacob came from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he lay with her that night.

rsv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, `Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

rsv@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it myself; of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

rsv@Genesis:31:40 @ Thus I was; by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

rsv@Genesis:31:42 @ If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

rsv@Genesis:31:54 @ and Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain and called his kinsmen to eat bread; and they ate bread and tarried all night on the mountain.

rsv@Genesis:31:55 @ Early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them; then he departed and returned home.

rsv@Genesis:32:7 @ Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies,

rsv@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

rsv@Genesis:32:13 @ So he lodged there that night, and took from what he had with him a present for his brother Esau,

rsv@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present passed on before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

rsv@Genesis:32:22 @ The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

rsv@Genesis:32:30 @ So Jacob called the name of the place Peni'el, saying, "For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved."

rsv@Genesis:34:30 @ Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Per'izzites; my numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household."

rsv@Genesis:35:18 @ And as her soul was departing (for she died), she called his name Ben-o'ni; but his father called his name Benjamin.

rsv@Genesis:36:2 @ Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholiba'mah the daughter of Anah the son of Zib'eon the Hivite,

rsv@Genesis:36:7 @ For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together; the land of their sojournings could not support them because of their cattle.

rsv@Genesis:37:1 @ Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.

rsv@Genesis:37:8 @ His brothers said to him, "Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to have dominion over us?" So they hated him yet more for his dreams and for his words.

rsv@Genesis:37:28 @ Then Mid'ianite traders passed by; and they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ish'maelites for twenty shekels of silver; and they took Joseph to Egypt.

rsv@Genesis:37:33 @ And he recognized it, and said, "It is my son's robe; a wild beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."

rsv@Genesis:37:35 @ All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and said, "No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning." Thus his father wept for him.

rsv@Genesis:37:36 @ Meanwhile the Mid'ianites had sold him in Egypt to Pot'i-phar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.

rsv@Genesis:38:2 @ There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; he married her and went in to her,

rsv@Genesis:40:5 @ And one night they both dreamed--the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison--each his own dream, and each dream with its own meaning.

rsv@Genesis:40:6 @ When Joseph came to them in the morning and saw them, they were troubled.

rsv@Genesis:41:1 @ After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile,

rsv@Genesis:41:2 @ and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows sleek and fat, and they fed in the reed grass.

rsv@Genesis:41:3 @ And behold, seven other cows, gaunt and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.

rsv@Genesis:41:8 @ So in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men; and Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret it to Pharaoh.

rsv@Genesis:41:11 @ we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.

rsv@Genesis:41:17 @ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile;

rsv@Genesis:41:18 @ and seven cows, fat and sleek, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass;

rsv@Genesis:41:21 @ but when they had eaten them no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were still as gaunt as at the beginning. Then I awoke.

rsv@Genesis:42:21 @ Then they said to one another, "In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us and we would not listen; therefore is this distress come upon us."

rsv@Genesis:42:22 @ And Reuben answered them, "Did I not tell you not to sin against the lad? But you would not listen. So now there comes a reckoning for his blood."

rsv@Genesis:43:16 @ When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, "Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal and make ready, for the men are to dine with me at noon."

rsv@Genesis:44:3 @ As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their asses.

rsv@Genesis:44:12 @ And he searched, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

rsv@Genesis:47:9 @ And Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my sojourning are a hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning."

rsv@Genesis:47:26 @ So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; the land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh's.

rsv@Genesis:49:27 @ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning devouring the prey, and at even dividing the spoil."

rsv@Genesis:49:33 @ When Jacob finished charging his sons, he drew up his feet into the bed, and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.

rsv@Genesis:50:10 @ When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation; and he made a mourning for his father seven days.

rsv@Genesis:50:11 @ When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning on the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians." Therefore the place was named A'bel-mizraim; it is beyond the Jordan.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:2 @ In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you that led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD your God said to you, `You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.'"

rsv@1Chronicles:11:5 @ The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You will not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:7 @ And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:8 @ And he built the city round about from the Millo in complete circuit; and Jo'ab repaired the rest of the city.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:9 @ And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:10 @ Now these are the chiefs of David's mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:11 @ This is an account of David's mighty men: Jasho'be-am, a Hach'monite, was chief of the three; he wielded his spear against three hundred whom he slew at one time.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:12 @ And next to him among the three mighty men was Elea'zar the son of Dodo, the Aho'hite.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:13 @ He was with David at Pas-dam'mim when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley, and the men fled from the Philistines.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:14 @ But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:15 @ Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam, when the army of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Reph'aim.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:16 @ David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:17 @ And David said longingly, "O that some one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!"

rsv@1Chronicles:11:18 @ Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took and brought it to David. But David would not drink of it; he poured it out to the LORD,

rsv@1Chronicles:11:19 @ and said, "Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:20 @ Now Abi'shai, the brother of Jo'ab, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them, and won a name beside the three.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:21 @ He was the most renowned of the thirty, and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:22 @ And Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

rsv@1Chronicles:11:23 @ And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver's beam; but Benai'ah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:7 @ And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, from the house of Abin'adab, and Uzzah and Ahi'o were driving the cart.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:8 @ And David and all Israel were making merry before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:9 @ And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:10 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and he smote him because he put forth his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:11 @ And David was angry because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah; and that place is called Pe'rez-uz'za to this day.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:12 @ And David was afraid of God that day; and he said, "How can I bring the ark of God home to me?"

rsv@1Chronicles:13:13 @ So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house of O'bed-e'dom the Gittite.

rsv@1Chronicles:13:14 @ And the ark of God remained with the household of O'bed-e'dom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the household of O'bed-e'dom and all that he had.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:1 @ And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also masons and carpenters to build a house for him.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:2 @ And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:3 @ And David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:4 @ These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammu'a, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

rsv@1Chronicles:14:8 @ When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:9 @ Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Reph'aim.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:10 @ And David inquired of God, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou give them into my hand?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up, and I will give them into your hand."

rsv@1Chronicles:14:11 @ And he went up to Ba'al-pera'zim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like a bursting flood." Therefore the name of that place is called Ba'al-pera'zim.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:12 @ And they left their gods there, and David gave command, and they were burned.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:13 @ And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:14 @ And when David again inquired of God, God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; go around and come upon them opposite the balsam trees.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to smite the army of the Philistines."

rsv@1Chronicles:14:16 @ And David did as God commanded him, and they smote the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gezer.

rsv@1Chronicles:14:17 @ And the fame of David went out into all lands, and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:1 @ David built houses for himself in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tent for it.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:2 @ Then David said, "No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the LORD chose them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister to him for ever."

rsv@1Chronicles:15:3 @ And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:4 @ And David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

rsv@1Chronicles:15:10 @ of the sons of Uz'ziel, Ammin'adab the chief, with a hundred and twelve of his brethren.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:11 @ Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abi'athar, and the Levites Uri'el, Asai'ah, Jo'el, Shemai'ah, Eli'el, and Ammin'adab,

rsv@1Chronicles:15:12 @ and said to them, "You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, so that you may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place that I have prepared for it.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:13 @ Because you did not carry it the first time, the LORD our God broke forth upon us, because we did not care for it in the way that is ordained."

rsv@1Chronicles:15:14 @ So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the Levites carried the ark of God upon their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:16 @ David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brethren as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:17 @ So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Jo'el; and of his brethren Asaph the son of Berechi'ah; and of the sons of Merar'i, their brethren, Ethan the son of Kusha'iah;

rsv@1Chronicles:15:22 @ Chenani'ah, leader of the Levites in music, should direct the music, for he understood it.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:23 @ Berechi'ah and Elka'nah were to be gatekeepers for the ark.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:24 @ Shebani'ah, Josh'aphat, Nethan'el, Ama'sai, Zechari'ah, Benai'ah, and Elie'zer, the priests, should blow the trumpets before the ark of God. O'bed-e'dom and Jehi'ah also were to be gatekeepers for the ark.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:25 @ So David and the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of O'bed-e'dom with rejoicing.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:26 @ And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:27 @ David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers, and Chenani'ah the leader of the music of the singers; and David wore a linen ephod.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:28 @ So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, to the sound of the horn, trumpets, and cymbals, and made loud music on harps and lyres.

rsv@1Chronicles:15:29 @ And as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and saw King David dancing and making merry; and she despised him in her heart.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:1 @ And they brought the ark of God, and set it inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:2 @ And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD,

rsv@1Chronicles:16:3 @ and distributed to all Israel, both men and women, to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:4 @ Moreover he appointed certain of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:6 @ and Benai'ah and Jaha'ziel the priests were to blow trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:36 @ Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!" Then all the people said "Amen!" and praised the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:37 @ So David left Asaph and his brethren there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister continually before the ark as each day required,

rsv@1Chronicles:16:38 @ and also O'bed-e'dom and his sixty-eight brethren; while O'bed-e'dom, the son of Jedu'thun, and Hosah were to be gatekeepers.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:42 @ Heman and Jedu'thun had trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments for sacred song. The sons of Jedu'thun were appointed to the gate.

rsv@1Chronicles:16:43 @ Then all the people departed each to his house, and David went home to bless his household.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now when David dwelt in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, "Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent."

rsv@1Chronicles:17:2 @ And Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you."

rsv@1Chronicles:17:3 @ But that same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan,

rsv@1Chronicles:17:4 @ "Go and tell my servant David, `Thus says the LORD: You shall not build me a house to dwell in.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I led up Israel to this day, but I have gone from tent to tent and from dwelling to dwelling.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:6 @ In all places where I have moved with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?"'

rsv@1Chronicles:17:7 @ Now therefore thus shall you say to my servant David, `Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel;

rsv@1Chronicles:17:8 @ and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:12 @ He shall build a house for me, and I will establish his throne for ever.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his father, and he shall be my son; I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you,

rsv@1Chronicles:17:15 @ In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:16 @ Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and said, "Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me thus far?

rsv@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God; thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast shown me future generations, O LORD God!

rsv@1Chronicles:17:18 @ And what more can David say to thee for honoring thy servant? For thou knowest thy servant.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:19 @ For thy servant's sake, O LORD, and according to thy own heart, thou hast wrought all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:22 @ And thou didst make thy people Israel to be thy people for ever; and thou, O LORD, didst become their God.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:23 @ And now, O LORD, let the word which thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast spoken;

rsv@1Chronicles:17:24 @ and thy name will be established and magnified for ever, saying, `The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God,' and the house of thy servant David will be established before thee.

rsv@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For thou, my God, hast revealed to thy servant that thou wilt build a house for him; therefore thy servant has found courage to pray before thee.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:1 @ After this David defeated the Philistines and subdued them, and he took Gath and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:2 @ And he defeated Moab, and the Mo'abites became servants to David and brought tribute.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:3 @ David also defeated Hadade'zer king of Zobah, toward Hamath, as he went to set up his monument at the river Euphra'tes.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:4 @ And David took from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers; and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but left enough for a hundred chariots.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:5 @ And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadade'zer king of Zobah, David slew twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:8 @ And from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadade'zer, David took very much bronze; with it Solomon made the bronze sea and the pillars and the vessels of bronze.

rsv@1Chronicles:18:10 @ he sent his son Hador'am to King David, to greet him, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Hadade'zer and defeated him; for Hadade'zer had often been at war with To'u. And he sent all sorts of articles of gold, of silver, and of bronze;

rsv@1Chronicles:18:11 @ these also King David dedicated to the LORD, together with the silver and gold which he had carried off from all the nations, from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Am'alek.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:2 @ And David said, "I will deal loyally with Hanun the son of Nahash, for his father dealt loyally with me." So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites, to console him.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:3 @ But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, "Do you think, because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

rsv@1Chronicles:19:4 @ So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their hips, and sent them away;

rsv@1Chronicles:19:5 @ and they departed. When David was told concerning the men, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

rsv@1Chronicles:19:6 @ When the Ammonites saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Mesopota'mia, from Aram-ma'acah, and from Zobah.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:7 @ They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Ma'acah with his army, who came and encamped before Med'eba. And the Ammonites were mustered from their cities and came to battle.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:9 @ And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:10 @ When Jo'ab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the picked men of Israel, and arrayed them against the Syrians;

rsv@1Chronicles:19:16 @ But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphra'tes, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadade'zer at their head.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:17 @ And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and crossed the Jordan, and came to them, and drew up his forces against them. And when David set the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:18 @ And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and killed also Shophach the commander of their army.

rsv@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadade'zer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and became subject to him. So the Syrians were not willing to help the Ammonites any more.

rsv@1Chronicles:20:1 @ In the spring of the year, the time when kings go forth to battle, Jo'ab led out the army, and ravaged the country of the Ammonites, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem. And Jo'ab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:5 @ And Jo'ab gave the sum of the numbering of the people to David. In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and in Judah four hundred and seventy thousand who drew the sword.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, for the king's command was abhorrent to Jo'ab.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:7 @ But God was displeased with this thing, and he smote Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:8 @ And David said to God, "I have sinned greatly in that I have done this thing. But now, I pray thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:9 @ And the LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,

rsv@1Chronicles:21:10 @ "Go and say to David, `Thus says the LORD, Three things I offer you; choose one of them, that I may do it to you.'"

rsv@1Chronicles:21:11 @ So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, `Take which you will:

rsv@1Chronicles:21:12 @ either three years of famine; or three months of devastation by your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days of the sword of the LORD, pestilence upon the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.' Now decide what answer I shall return to him who sent me."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ Then David said to Gad, "I am in great distress; let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for his mercy is very great; but let me not fall into the hand of man."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:14 @ So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell seventy thousand men of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent the angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but when he was about to destroy it, the LORD saw, and he repented of the evil; and he said to the destroying angel, "It is enough; now stay your hand." And the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:16 @ And David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, and in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said to God, "Was it not I who gave command to number the people? It is I who have sinned and done very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be against me and against my father's house; but let not the plague be upon thy people."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:18 @ Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and rear an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:19 @ So David went up at Gad's word, which he had spoken in the name of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:20 @ Now Ornan was threshing wheat; he turned and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:21 @ As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David and went forth from the threshing floor, and did obeisance to David with his face to the ground.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:22 @ And David said to Ornan, "Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the LORD--give it to me at its full price--that the plague may be averted from the people."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:23 @ Then Ornan said to David, "Take it; and let my lord the king do what seems good to him; see, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for a cereal offering. I give it all."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:24 @ But King David said to Ornan, "No, but I will buy it for the full price; I will not take for the LORD what is yours, nor offer burnt offerings which cost me nothing."

rsv@1Chronicles:21:25 @ So David paid Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:26 @ And David built there an altar to the LORD and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD, and he answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:27 @ Then the LORD commanded the angel; and he put his sword back into its sheath.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:28 @ At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb'usite, he made his sacrifices there.

rsv@1Chronicles:21:29 @ For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time in the high place at Gibeon;

rsv@1Chronicles:21:30 @ but David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:1 @ Then David said, "Here shall be the house of the LORD God and here the altar of burnt offering for Israel."

rsv@1Chronicles:22:2 @ David commanded to gather together the aliens who were in the land of Israel, and he set stonecutters to prepare dressed stones for building the house of God.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:3 @ David also provided great stores of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps, as well as bronze in quantities beyond weighing,

rsv@1Chronicles:22:4 @ and cedar timbers without number; for the Sido'nians and Tyrians brought great quantities of cedar to David.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:5 @ For David said, "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands; I will therefore make preparation for it." So David provided materials in great quantity before his death.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:7 @ David said to Solomon, "My son, I had it in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:8 @ But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, `You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood before me upon the earth.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:9 @ Behold, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of peace. I will give him peace from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:10 @ He shall build a house for my name. He shall be my son, and I will be his father, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel for ever.'

rsv@1Chronicles:22:11 @ Now, my son, the LORD be with you, so that you may succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:12 @ Only, may the LORD grant you discretion and understanding, that when he gives you charge over Israel you may keep the law of the LORD your God.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:13 @ Then you will prosper if you are careful to observe the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong, and of good courage. Fear not; be not dismayed.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:14 @ With great pains I have provided for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond weighing, for there is so much of it; timber and stone too I have provided. To these you must add.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:15 @ You have an abundance of workmen: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen without number, skilled in working

rsv@1Chronicles:22:16 @ gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and be doing! The LORD be with you!"

rsv@1Chronicles:22:17 @ David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

rsv@1Chronicles:22:18 @ "Is not the LORD your God with you? And has he not given you peace on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and his people.

rsv@1Chronicles:22:19 @ Now set your mind and heart to seek the LORD your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the LORD."

rsv@1Chronicles:23:1 @ When David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:2 @ David assembled all the leaders of Israel and the priests and the Levites.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:3 @ The Levites, thirty years old and upward, were numbered, and the total was thirty-eight thousand men.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:4 @ "Twenty-four thousand of these," David said, "shall have charge of the work in the house of the LORD, six thousand shall be officers and judges,

rsv@1Chronicles:23:5 @ four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand shall offer praises to the LORD with the instruments which I have made for praise."

rsv@1Chronicles:23:6 @ And David organized them in divisions corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merar'i.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:7 @ The sons of Gersham were Ladan and Shim'e-i.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:8 @ The sons of Ladan: Jehi'el the chief, and Zetham, and Jo'el, three.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:9 @ The sons of Shim'e-i: Shelo'moth, Ha'zi-el, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:10 @ And the sons of Shim'e-i: Jahath, Zina, and Je'ush, and Beri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'e-i.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:11 @ Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons, therefore they became a father's house in one reckoning.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:12 @ The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uz'ziel, four.

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

rsv@1Chronicles:23:14 @ But the sons of Moses the man of God were named among the tribe of Levi.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:15 @ The sons of Moses: Gershom and Elie'zer.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:16 @ The sons of Gershom: Sheb'uel the chief.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:17 @ The sons of Elie'zer: Rehabi'ah the chief; Elie'zer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabi'ah were very many.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:19 @ The sons of Hebron: Jeri'ah the chief, Amari'ah the second, Jaha'ziel the third, and Jekame'am the fourth.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:20 @ The sons of Uz'ziel: Micah the chief and Isshi'ah the second.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:21 @ The sons of Merar'i: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Elea'zar and Kish.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:22 @ Elea'zar died having no sons, but only daughters; their kinsmen, the sons of Kish, married them.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:23 @ The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jer'emoth, three.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:24 @ These were the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses, the heads of fathers' houses as they were registered according to the number of the names of the individuals from twenty years old and upward who were to do the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:25 @ For David said, "The LORD, the God of Israel, has given peace to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem for ever.

rsv@1Chronicles:23:26 @ And so the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the things for its service"--

rsv@1Chronicles:23:27 @ for by the last words of David these were the number of the Levites from twenty years old and upward--

rsv@1Chronicles:23:28 @ "but their duty shall be to assist the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, having the care of the courts and the chambers, the cleansing of all that is holy, and any work for the service of the house of God;

rsv@1Chronicles:24:1 @ The divisions of the sons of Aaron were these. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abi'hu, Elea'zar, and Ith'amar.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:2 @ But Nadab and Abi'hu died before their father, and had no children, so Elea'zar and Ith'amar became the priests.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:3 @ With the help of Zadok of the sons of Elea'zar, and Ahim'elech of the sons of Ith'amar, David organized them according to the appointed duties in their service.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:4 @ Since more chief men were found among the sons of Elea'zar than among the sons of Ith'amar, they organized them under sixteen heads of fathers' houses of the sons of Elea'zar, and eight of the sons of Ith'amar.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:5 @ They organized them by lot, all alike, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both the sons of Elea'zar and the sons of Ith'amar.

rsv@1Chronicles:24:6 @ And the scribe Shemai'ah the son of Nethan'el, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahim'elech the son of Abi'athar, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and of the Levites; one father's house being chosen for Elea'zar and one chosen for Ith'amar.

rsv@1Chronicles:28:8 @ Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you for ever.

rsv@1Chronicles:28:10 @ Take heed now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it."

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

rsv@1Chronicles:29:3 @ Moreover, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God:

rsv@1Chronicles:29:4 @ three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the house,

rsv@1Chronicles:29:5 @ and for all the work to be done by craftsmen, gold for the things of gold and silver for the things of silver. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself today to the LORD?"

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

rsv@1Chronicles:29:7 @ They gave for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:8 @ And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, in the care of Jehi'el the Gershonite.

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

rsv@1Chronicles:29:10 @ Therefore David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly; and David said: "Blessed art thou, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:11 @ Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:14 @ "But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from thee, and of thy own have we given thee.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:15 @ For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were; our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:16 @ O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building thee a house for thy holy name comes from thy hand and is all thy own.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:17 @ I know, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness; in the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen thy people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to thee.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:18 @ O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep for ever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of thy people, and direct their hearts toward thee.

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

rsv@1Chronicles:29:20 @ Then David said to all the assembly, "Bless the LORD your God." And all the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD, and did obeisance to the king.

rsv@1Chronicles:29:21 @ And they performed sacrifices to the LORD, and on the next day offered burnt offerings to the LORD, a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel;

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@1Chronicles:29:27 @ The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

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

rsv@1Chronicles:29:29 @ Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the Chronicles of Samuel the seer, and in the Chronicles of Nathan the prophet, and in the Chronicles of Gad the seer,

rsv@1Chronicles:29:30 @ with accounts of all his rule and his might and of the circumstances that came upon him and upon Israel, and upon all the kingdoms of the countries.

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:1:4 @ (But David had brought up the ark of God from Kir'iath-je'arim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.)

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:1:9 @ O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be now fulfilled, for thou hast made me king over a people as many as the dust of the earth.

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:1:15 @ And the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephe'lah.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:1:17 @ They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; likewise through them these were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:2:4 @ Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God and dedicate it to him for the burning of incense of sweet spices before him, and for the continual offering of the showbread, and for burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths and the new moons and the appointed feasts of the LORD our God, as ordained for ever for Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:5 @ The house which I am to build will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:6 @ But who is able to build him a house, since heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to burn incense before him?

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:2:9 @ to prepare timber for me in abundance, for the house I am to build will be great and wonderful.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:10 @ I will give for your servants, the hewers who cut timber, twenty thousand cors of crushed wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil."

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:2:13 @ "Now I have sent a skilled man, endued with understanding, Huram-abi,

rsv@2Chronicles:2:14 @ the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre. He is trained to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and in purple, blue, and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and to do all sorts of engraving and execute any design that may be assigned him, with your craftsmen, the craftsmen of my lord, David your father.

rsv@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore the wheat and barley, oil and wine, of which my lord has spoken, let him send to his servants;

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:2:18 @ Seventy thousand of them he assigned to bear burdens, eighty thousand to quarry in the hill country, and three thousand six hundred as overseers to make the people work.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:3:2 @ He began to build in the second month of the fourth year of his reign.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:3:4 @ The vestibule in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits long, equal to the width of the house; and its height was a hundred and twenty cubits. He overlaid it on the inside with pure gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:5 @ The nave he lined with cypress, and covered it with fine gold, and made palms and chains on it.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:6 @ He adorned the house with settings of precious stones. The gold was gold of Parva'im.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:3:8 @ And he made the most holy place; its length, corresponding to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth was twenty cubits; he overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:9 @ The weight of the nails was one shekel to fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:10 @ In the most holy place he made two cherubim of wood and overlaid them with gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:11 @ The wings of the cherubim together extended twenty cubits: one wing of the one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and its other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub;

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

rsv@2Chronicles:3:13 @ The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits; the cherubim stood on their feet, facing the nave.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:3:15 @ In front of the house he made two pillars thirty-five cubits high, with a capital of five cubits on the top of each.

rsv@2Chronicles:3:16 @ He made chains like a necklace and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:4:1 @ He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:2 @ Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

rsv@2Chronicles:4:3 @ Under it were figures of gourds, for thirty cubits, compassing the sea round about; the gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:4:5 @ Its thickness was a handbreadth; and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held over three thousand baths.

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:4:9 @ He made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze;

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:4:12 @ the two pillars, the bowls, and the two capitals 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;

rsv@2Chronicles:4:13 @ and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:4:15 @ and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:4:17 @ In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zer'edah.

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:4:20 @ the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn before the inner sanctuary, as prescribed;

rsv@2Chronicles:4:21 @ the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of purest gold;

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:5:3 @ And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast which is in the seventh month.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:4 @ And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

rsv@2Chronicles:5:5 @ And they brought up the ark, the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; the priests and the Levites brought them up.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:8:13 @ as the duty of each day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the three annual feasts--the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tabernacles.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:8:15 @ And they did not turn aside from what the king had commanded the priests and Levites concerning any matter and concerning the treasuries.

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:9:4 @ the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, and their clothing, his cupbearers, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings which he offered at the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:5 @ And she said to the king, "The report was true which I heard in my own land of your affairs and of your wisdom,

rsv@2Chronicles:9:6 @ but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it; and behold, half the greatness of your wisdom was not told me; you surpass the report which I heard.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:7 @ Happy are your wives! Happy are these your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!

rsv@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and set you on his throne as king for the LORD your God! Because your God loved Israel and would establish them for ever, he has made you king over them, that you may execute justice and righteousness."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:9:16 @ And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:9:18 @ The throne had six steps and a footstool of gold, which were attached to the throne, and on each side of the seat were arm rests and two lions standing beside the arm rests,

rsv@2Chronicles:9:19 @ while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.

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

rsv@2Chronicles:9:21 @ For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:9:26 @ And he ruled over all the kings from the Euphra'tes to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

rsv@2Chronicles:9:27 @ And the king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stone, and cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephe'lah.

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

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

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:10:1 @ Rehobo'am went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:2 @ And when Jerobo'am the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from King Solomon), then Jerobo'am returned from Egypt.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:3 @ And they sent and called him; and Jerobo'am and all Israel came and said to Rehobo'am,

rsv@2Chronicles:10:4 @ "Your father made our yoke heavy. Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke upon us, and we will serve you."

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

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

rsv@2Chronicles:10:7 @ And they said to him, "If you will be kind to this people and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever."

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

rsv@2Chronicles:10:10 @ And the young men who had grown up with him said to him, "Thus shall you speak to the people who said to you, `Your father made our yoke heavy, but do you lighten it for us'; thus shall you say to them, `My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:11 @ And now, whereas my father laid upon you a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'"

rsv@2Chronicles:10:13 @ And the king answered them harshly, and forsaking the counsel of the old men,

rsv@2Chronicles:10:14 @ King Rehobo'am spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."

rsv@2Chronicles:10:17 @ But Rehobo'am reigned over the people of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then King Rehobo'am sent Hador'am, who was taskmaster over the forced labor, and the people of Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehobo'am made haste to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:10:19 @ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:1 @ When Rehobo'am came to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah, and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight against Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rehobo'am.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:5 @ Rehobo'am dwelt in Jerusalem, and he built cities for defense in Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:6 @ He built Bethlehem, Etam, Teko'a,

rsv@2Chronicles:11:12 @ And he put shields and spears in all the cities, and made them very strong. So he held Judah and Benjamin.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:13 @ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him from all places where they lived.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their common lands and their holdings and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jerobo'am and his sons cast them out from serving as priests of the LORD,

rsv@2Chronicles:11:15 @ and he appointed his own priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.

rsv@2Chronicles:11:16 @ And those who had set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came after them from all the tribes of Israel to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:9 @ So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made;

rsv@2Chronicles:12:10 @ and King Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:11 @ And as often as the king went into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back to the guardroom.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:12 @ And when he humbled himself the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to make a complete destruction; moreover, conditions were good in Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:13 @ So King Rehobo'am established himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Rehobo'am was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother's name was Na'amah the Ammonitess.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:14 @ And he did evil, for he did not set his heart to seek the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:15 @ Now the acts of Rehobo'am, from first to last, are they not written in the chronicles of Shemai'ah the prophet and of Iddo the seer? There were continual wars between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am.

rsv@2Chronicles:12:16 @ And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abi'jah his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:1 @ In the eighteenth year of King Jerobo'am Abi'jah began to reign over Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:2 @ He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Micai'ah the daughter of U'riel of Gib'e-ah. Now there was war between Abi'jah and Jerobo'am.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:3 @ Abi'jah went out to battle having an army of valiant men of war, four hundred thousand picked men; and Jerobo'am drew up his line of battle against him with eight hundred thousand picked mighty warriors.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:4 @ Then Abi'jah stood up on Mount Zemara'im which is in the hill country of E'phraim, and said, "Hear me, O Jerobo'am and all Israel!

rsv@2Chronicles:13:5 @ Ought you not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingship over Israel for ever to David and his sons by a covenant of salt?

rsv@2Chronicles:13:6 @ Yet Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up and rebelled against his lord;

rsv@2Chronicles:13:7 @ and certain worthless scoundrels gathered about him and defied Rehobo'am the son of Solomon, when Rehobo'am was young and irresolute and could not withstand them.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:8 @ "And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David, because you are a great multitude and have with you the golden calves which Jerobo'am made you for gods.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:9 @ Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of what are no gods.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests ministering to the LORD who are sons of Aaron, and Levites for their service.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:11 @ They offer to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and incense of sweet spices, set out the showbread on the table of pure gold, and care for the golden lampstand that its lamps may burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:12 @ Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with their battle trumpets to sound the call to battle against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you cannot succeed."

rsv@2Chronicles:13:13 @ Jerobo'am had sent an ambush around to come on them from behind; thus his troops were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:14 @ And when Judah looked, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests blew the trumpets.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:15 @ Then the men of Judah raised the battle shout. And when the men of Judah shouted, God defeated Jerobo'am and all Israel before Abi'jah and Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:16 @ The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their hand.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:17 @ Abi'jah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell slain of Israel five hundred thousand picked men.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:18 @ Thus the men of Israel were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:19 @ And Abi'jah pursued Jerobo'am, and took cities from him, Bethel with its villages and Jesha'nah with its villages and Ephron with its villages.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:20 @ Jerobo'am did not recover his power in the days of Abi'jah; and the LORD smote him, and he died.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:21 @ But Abi'jah grew mighty. And he took fourteen wives, and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

rsv@2Chronicles:13:22 @ The rest of the acts of Abi'jah, his ways and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abi'jah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land had rest for ten years.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:2 @ And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:3 @ He took away the foreign altars and the high places, and broke down the pillars and hewed down the Ashe'rim,

rsv@2Chronicles:14:4 @ and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to keep the law and the commandment.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:5 @ He also took out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom had rest under him.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:6 @ He built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest. He had no war in those years, for the LORD gave him peace.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:7 @ And he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars; the land is still ours, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought him, and he has given us peace on every side." So they built and prospered.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah, armed with bucklers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand men from Benjamin, that carried shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:9 @ Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots, and came as far as Mare'shah.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:10 @ And Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up their lines of battle in the valley of Zeph'athah at Mare'shah.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:11 @ And Asa cried to the LORD his God, "O LORD, there is none like thee to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee."

rsv@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:13 @ Asa and the people that were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive; for they were broken before the LORD and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much booty.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:14 @ And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the fear of the LORD was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.

rsv@2Chronicles:14:15 @ And they smote the tents of those who had cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:1 @ The Spirit of God came upon Azari'ah the son of Oded,

rsv@2Chronicles:15:2 @ and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The LORD is with you, while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:3 @ For a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;

rsv@2Chronicles:15:4 @ but when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:5 @ In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:6 @ They were broken in pieces, nation against nation and city against city, for God troubled them with every sort of distress.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:7 @ But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded."

rsv@2Chronicles:15:8 @ When Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Azari'ah the son of Oded, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the hill country of E'phraim, and he repaired the altar of the LORD that was in front of the vestibule of the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:9 @ And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those from E'phraim, Manas'seh, and Simeon who were sojourning with them, for great numbers had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:10 @ They were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:11 @ They sacrificed to the LORD on that day, from the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:12 @ And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;

rsv@2Chronicles:15:13 @ and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:14 @ They took oath to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all Judah rejoiced over the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and had sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest round about.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:16 @ Even Ma'acah, his mother, King Asa removed from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Ashe'rah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it at the brook Kidron.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:17 @ But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was blameless all his days.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:18 @ And he brought into the house of God the votive gifts of his father and his own votive gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels.

rsv@2Chronicles:15:19 @ And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Ba'asha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:2 @ Then Asa took silver and gold from the treasures of the house of the LORD and the king's house, and sent them to Ben-ha'dad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

rsv@2Chronicles:16:3 @ "Let there be a league between me and you, as between my father and your father; behold, I am sending to you silver and gold; go, break your league with Ba'asha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me."

rsv@2Chronicles:16:4 @ And Ben-ha'dad hearkened to King Asa, and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they conquered I'jon, Dan, A'bel-ma'im, and all the store-cities of Naph'tali.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:5 @ And when Ba'asha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Ba'asha had been building, and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:7 @ At that time Hana'ni the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:8 @ Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army with exceedingly many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, he gave them into your hand.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:9 @ For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show his might in behalf of those whose heart is blameless toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars."

rsv@2Chronicles:16:10 @ Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the stocks, in prison, for he was in a rage with him because of this. And Asa inflicted cruelties upon some of the people at the same time.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:11 @ The acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:12 @ In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe; yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but sought help from physicians.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:13 @ And Asa slept with his fathers, dying in the forty-first year of his reign.

rsv@2Chronicles:16:14 @ They buried him in the tomb which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier which had been filled with various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumer's art; and they made a very great fire in his honor.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:1 @ Jehosh'aphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:2 @ He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of E'phraim which Asa his father had taken.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:3 @ The LORD was with Jehosh'aphat, because he walked in the earlier ways of his father; he did not seek the Ba'als,

rsv@2Chronicles:17:4 @ but sought the God of his father and walked in his commandments, and not according to the ways of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:5 @ Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought tribute to Jehosh'aphat; and he had great riches and honor.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:6 @ His heart was courageous in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took the high places and the Ashe'rim out of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:7 @ In the third year of his reign he sent his princes, Ben-hail, Obadi'ah, Zechari'ah, Nethan'el, and Micai'ah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

rsv@2Chronicles:17:8 @ and with them the Levites, Shemai'ah, Nethani'ah, Zebadi'ah, As'ahel, Shemi'ramoth, Jehon'athan, Adoni'jah, Tobi'jah, and Tobadoni'jah; and with these Levites, the priests Eli'shama and Jeho'ram.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:9 @ And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; they went about through all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:10 @ And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, and they made no war against Jehosh'aphat.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:11 @ Some of the Philistines brought Jehosh'aphat presents, and silver for tribute; and the Arabs also brought him seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred he-goats.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:12 @ And Jehosh'aphat grew steadily greater. He built in Judah fortresses and store-cities,

rsv@2Chronicles:17:13 @ and he had great stores in the cities of Judah. He had soldiers, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:14 @ This was the muster of them by fathers' houses: Of Judah, the commanders of thousands: Adnah the commander, with three hundred thousand mighty men of valor,

rsv@2Chronicles:17:15 @ and next to him Jehoha'nan the commander, with two hundred and eighty thousand,

rsv@2Chronicles:17:16 @ and next to him Amasi'ah the son of Zichri, a volunteer for the service of the LORD, with two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:17 @ Of Benjamin: Eli'ada, a mighty man of valor, with two hundred thousand men armed with bow and shield,

rsv@2Chronicles:17:18 @ and next to him Jeho'zabad with a hundred and eighty thousand armed for war.

rsv@2Chronicles:17:19 @ These were in the service of the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:18:1 @ Now Jehosh'aphat had great riches and honor; and he made a marriage alliance with Ahab.

rsv@2Chronicles:18:2 @ After some years he went down to Ahab in Sama'ria. And Ahab killed an abundance of sheep and oxen for him and for the people who were with him, and induced him to go up against Ramoth-gilead.

rsv@2Chronicles:18:3 @ Ahab king of Israel said to Jehosh'aphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead?" He answered him, "I am as you are, my people as your people. We will be with you in the war."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:4 @ And Jehosh'aphat said to the king of Israel, "Inquire first for the word of the LORD."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:5 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to battle against Ramoth-gilead, or shall I forbear?" And they said, "Go up; for God will give it into the hand of the king."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:6 @ But Jehosh'aphat said, "Is there not here another prophet of the LORD of whom we may inquire?"

rsv@2Chronicles:18:7 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehosh'aphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micai'ah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil." And Jehosh'aphat said, "Let not the king say so."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:8 @ Then the king of Israel summoned an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micai'ah the son of Imlah."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:9 @ Now the king of Israel and Jehosh'aphat the king of Judah were sitting on their thrones, arrayed in their robes; and they were sitting at the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Sama'ria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

rsv@2Chronicles:18:10 @ And Zedeki'ah the son of Chena'anah made for himself horns of iron, and said, "Thus says the LORD, `With these you shall push the Syrians until they are destroyed.'"

rsv@2Chronicles:18:11 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, and said, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and triumph; the LORD will give it into the hand of the king."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:12 @ And the messenger who went to summon Micai'ah said to him, "Behold, the words of the prophets with one accord are favorable to the king; let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:13 @ But Micai'ah said, "As the LORD lives, what my God says, that I will speak."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:14 @ And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micai'ah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?" And he answered, "Go up and triumph; they will be given into your hand."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:15 @ But the king said to him, "How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"

rsv@2Chronicles:18:16 @ And he said, "I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd; and the LORD said, `These have no master; let each return to his home in peace.'"

rsv@2Chronicles:18:17 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehosh'aphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"

rsv@2Chronicles:18:18 @ And Micai'ah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left;

rsv@2Chronicles:18:19 @ and the LORD said, `Who will entice Ahab the king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said one thing, and another said another.

rsv@2Chronicles:18:20 @ Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD, saying, `I will entice him.' And the LORD said to him, `By what means?'

rsv@2Chronicles:18:21 @ And he said, `I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' And he said, `You are to entice him, and you shall succeed; go forth and do so.'

rsv@2Chronicles:18:22 @ Now therefore behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; the LORD has spoken evil concerning you."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:23 @ Then Zedeki'ah the son of Chena'anah came near and struck Micai'ah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"

rsv@2Chronicles:18:24 @ And Micai'ah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself."

rsv@2Chronicles:18:25 @ And the king of Israel said, "Seize Micai'ah, and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Jo'ash the king's son;

rsv@2Chronicles:18:31 @ And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehosh'aphat, they said, "It is the king of Israel." So they turned to fight against him; and Jehosh'aphat cried out, and the LORD helped him. God drew them away from him,

rsv@2Chronicles:20:17 @ You will not need to fight in this battle; take your position, stand still, and see the victory of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Fear not, and be not dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, and the LORD will be with you."

rsv@2Chronicles:20:18 @ Then Jehosh'aphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:19 @ And the Levites, of the Ko'hathites and the Kor'ahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with a very loud voice.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:20 @ And they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Teko'a; and as they went out, Jehosh'aphat stood and said, "Hear me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed."

rsv@2Chronicles:20:21 @ And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the LORD and praise him in holy array, as they went before the army, and say, "Give thanks to the LORD, for his steadfast love endures for ever."

rsv@2Chronicles:20:22 @ And when they began to sing and praise, the LORD set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Se'ir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:23 @ For the men of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of Mount Se'ir, destroying them utterly, and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Se'ir, they all helped to destroy one another.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:24 @ When Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies lying on the ground; none had escaped.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:25 @ When Jehosh'aphat and his people came to take the spoil from them, they found cattle in great numbers, goods, clothing, and precious things, which they took for themselves until they could carry no more. They were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:26 @ On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Bera'cah, for there they blessed the LORD; therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Bera'cah to this day.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:27 @ Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehosh'aphat at their head, returning to Jerusalem with joy, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:28 @ They came to Jerusalem, with harps and lyres and trumpets, to the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:29 @ And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:30 @ So the realm of Jehosh'aphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest round about.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:31 @ Thus Jehosh'aphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azu'bah the daughter of Shilhi.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:32 @ He walked in the way of Asa his father and did not turn aside from it; he did what was right in the sight of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:33 @ The high places, however, were not taken away; the people had not yet set their hearts upon the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:34 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehosh'aphat, from first to last, are written in the chronicles of Jehu the son of Hana'ni, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:35 @ After this Jehosh'aphat king of Judah joined with Ahazi'ah king of Israel, who did wickedly.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:36 @ He joined him in building ships to go to Tarshish, and they built the ships in E'zion-ge'ber.

rsv@2Chronicles:20:37 @ Then Elie'zer the son of Do-dav'ahu of Mare'shah prophesied against Jehosh'aphat, saying, "Because you have joined with Ahazi'ah, the LORD will destroy what you have made." And the ships were wrecked and were not able to go to Tarshish.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:1 @ Jehosh'aphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Jeho'ram his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:2 @ He had brothers, the sons of Jehosh'aphat: Azari'ah, Jehi'el, Zechari'ah, Azari'ah, Michael, and Shephati'ah; all these were the sons of Jehosh'aphat king of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:3 @ Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, together with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jeho'ram, because he was the first-born.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:4 @ When Jeho'ram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:5 @ Jeho'ram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:6 @ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done; for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:7 @ Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons for ever.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:8 @ In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah, and set up a king of their own.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:9 @ Then Jeho'ram passed over with his commanders and all his chariots, and he rose by night and smote the E'domites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:10 @ So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah also revolted from his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:11 @ Moreover he made high places in the hill country of Judah, and led the inhabitants of Jerusalem into unfaithfulness, and made Judah go astray.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:12 @ And a letter came to him from Eli'jah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, `Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehosh'aphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

rsv@2Chronicles:21:13 @ but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into unfaithfulness, as the house of Ahab led Israel into unfaithfulness, and also you have killed your brothers, of your father's house, who were better than yourself;

rsv@2Chronicles:21:14 @ behold, the LORD will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,

rsv@2Chronicles:21:15 @ and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.'"

rsv@2Chronicles:21:16 @ And the LORD stirred up against Jeho'ram the anger of the Philistines and of the Arabs who are near the Ethiopians;

rsv@2Chronicles:21:17 @ and they came up against Judah, and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions they found that belonged to the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jeho'ahaz, his youngest son.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:18 @ And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:19 @ In course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, like the fires made for his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:21:20 @ He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem; and he departed with no one's regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:1 @ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahazi'ah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came with the Arabs to the camp had slain all the older sons. So Ahazi'ah the son of Jeho'ram king of Judah reigned.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahazi'ah was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athali'ah, the granddaughter of Omri.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:3 @ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in doing wickedly.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:4 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done; for after the death of his father they were his counselors, to his undoing.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:5 @ He even followed their counsel, and went with Jeho'ram the son of Ahab king of Israel to make war against Haz'ael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram,

rsv@2Chronicles:22:6 @ and he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Haz'ael king of Syria. And Ahazi'ah the son of Jeho'ram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:7 @ But it was ordained by God that the downfall of Ahazi'ah should come about through his going to visit Joram. For when he came there he went out with Jeho'ram to meet Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:8 @ And when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, he met the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahazi'ah's brothers, who attended Ahazi'ah, and he killed them.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ He searched for Ahazi'ah, and he was captured while hiding in Sama'ria, and he was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, "He is the grandson of Jehosh'aphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." And the house of Ahazi'ah had no one able to rule the kingdom.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:10 @ Now when Athali'ah the mother of Ahazi'ah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family of the house of Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:22:11 @ But Jeho-shab'e-ath, the daughter of the king, took Jo'ash the son of Ahazi'ah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were about to be slain, and she put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. Thus Jeho-shab'e-ath, the daughter of King Jeho'ram and wife of Jehoi'ada the priest, because she was a sister of Ahazi'ah, hid him from Athali'ah, so that she did not slay him;

rsv@2Chronicles:22:12 @ and he remained with them six years, hid in the house of God, while Athali'ah reigned over the land.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:1 @ But in the seventh year Jehoi'ada took courage, and entered into a compact with the commanders of hundreds, Azari'ah the son of Jero'ham, Ish'mael the son of Jehoha'nan, Azari'ah the son of Obed, Ma-asei'ah the son of Adai'ah, and Elisha'phat the son of Zichri.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:2 @ And they went about through Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers' houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:3 @ And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And Jehoi'ada said to them, "Behold, the king's son! Let him reign, as the LORD spoke concerning the sons of David.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:4 @ This is the thing that you shall do: of you priests and Levites who come off duty on the sabbath, one third shall be gatekeepers,

rsv@2Chronicles:23:5 @ and one third shall be at the king's house and one third at the Gate of the Foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:6 @ Let no one enter the house of the LORD except the priests and ministering Levites; they may enter, for they are holy, but all the people shall keep the charge of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:7 @ The Levites shall surround the king, each with his weapons in his hand; and whoever enters the house shall be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out."

rsv@2Chronicles:23:8 @ The Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoi'ada the priest commanded. They each brought his men, who were to go off duty on the sabbath, with those who were to come on duty on the sabbath; for Jehoi'ada the priest did not dismiss the divisions.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:9 @ And Jehoi'ada the priest delivered to the captains the spears and the large and small shields that had been King David's, which were in the house of God;

rsv@2Chronicles:23:10 @ and he set all the people as a guard for the king, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the south side of the house to the north side of the house, around the altar and the house.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:11 @ Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they proclaimed him king, and Jehoi'ada and his sons anointed him, and they said, "Long live the king."

rsv@2Chronicles:23:12 @ When Athali'ah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she went into the house of the LORD to the people;

rsv@2Chronicles:23:13 @ and when she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpeters beside the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and the singers with their musical instruments leading in the celebration. And Athali'ah rent her clothes, and cried, "Treason! Treason!"

rsv@2Chronicles:23:14 @ Then Jehoi'ada the priest brought out the captains who were set over the army, saying to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; any one who follows her is to be slain with the sword." For the priest said, "Do not slay her in the house of the LORD."

rsv@2Chronicles:23:15 @ So they laid hands on her; and she went into the entrance of the horse gate of the king's house, and they slew her there.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:16 @ And Jehoi'ada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king that they should be the LORD's people.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:17 @ Then all the people went to the house of Ba'al, and tore it down; his altars and his images they broke in pieces, and they slew Mattan the priest of Ba'al before the altars.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:18 @ And Jehoi'ada posted watchmen for the house of the LORD under the direction of the Levitical priests and the Levites whom David had organized to be in charge of the house of the LORD, to offer burnt offerings to the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:19 @ He stationed the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD so that no one should enter who was in any way unclean.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:20 @ And he took the captains, the nobles, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land; and they brought the king down from the house of the LORD, marching through the upper gate to the king's house. And they set the king upon the royal throne.

rsv@2Chronicles:23:21 @ So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, after Athali'ah had been slain with the sword.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:1 @ Jo'ash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Zib'iah of Beer-sheba.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:2 @ And Jo'ash did what was right in the eyes of the LORD all the days of Jehoi'ada the priest.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:3 @ Jehoi'ada got for him two wives, and he had sons and daughters.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:4 @ After this Jo'ash decided to restore the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:5 @ And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year; and see that you hasten the matter." But the Levites did not hasten it.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:6 @ So the king summoned Jehoi'ada the chief, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and Jerusalem the tax levied by Moses, the servant of the LORD, on the congregation of Israel for the tent of testimony?"

rsv@2Chronicles:24:7 @ For the sons of Athali'ah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God; and had also used all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD for the Ba'als.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:8 @ So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside the gate of the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:9 @ And proclamation was made throughout Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for the LORD the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:10 @ And all the princes and all the people rejoiced and brought their tax and dropped it into the chest until they had finished.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:11 @ And whenever the chest was brought to the king's officers by the Levites, when they saw that there was much money in it, the king's secretary and the officer of the chief priest would come and empty the chest and take it and return it to its place. Thus they did day after day, and collected money in abundance.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:12 @ And the king and Jehoi'ada gave it to those who had charge of the work of the house of the LORD, and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, and also workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:13 @ So those who were engaged in the work labored, and the repairing went forward in their hands, and they restored the house of God to its proper condition and strengthened it.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:14 @ And when they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoi'ada, and with it were made utensils for the house of the LORD, both for the service and for the burnt offerings, and dishes for incense, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoi'ada.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:15 @ But Jehoi'ada grew old and full of days, and died; he was a hundred and thirty years old at his death.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:16 @ And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:17 @ Now after the death of Jehoi'ada the princes of Judah came and did obeisance to the king; then the king hearkened to them.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:18 @ And they forsook the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Ashe'rim and the idols. And wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:19 @ Yet he sent prophets among them to bring them back to the LORD; these testified against them, but they would not give heed.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:20 @ Then the Spirit of God took possession of Zechari'ah the son of Jehoi'ada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, `Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, he has forsaken you.'"

rsv@2Chronicles:24:21 @ But they conspired against him, and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:22 @ Thus Jo'ash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoi'ada, Zechari'ah's father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, "May the LORD see and avenge!"

rsv@2Chronicles:24:23 @ At the end of the year the army of the Syrians came up against Jo'ash. They came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:24 @ Though the army of the Syrians had come with few men, the LORD delivered into their hand a very great army, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers. Thus they executed judgment on Jo'ash.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:25 @ When they had departed from him, leaving him severely wounded, his servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoi'ada the priest, and slew him on his bed. So he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:26 @ Those who conspired against him were Zabad the son of Shim'e-ath the Ammonitess, and Jeho'zabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess.

rsv@2Chronicles:24:27 @ Accounts of his sons, and of the many oracles against him, and of the rebuilding of the house of God are written in the Commentary on the Book of the Kings. And Amazi'ah his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:3 @ And as soon as the royal power was firmly in his hand he killed his servants who had slain the king his father.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:4 @ But he did not put their children to death, according to what is written in the law, in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, or the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin."

rsv@2Chronicles:25:5 @ Then Amazi'ah assembled the men of Judah, and set them by fathers' houses under commanders of thousands and of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. He mustered those twenty years old and upward, and found that they were three hundred thousand picked men, fit for war, able to handle spear and shield.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:6 @ He hired also a hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:7 @ But a man of God came to him and said, "O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all these E'phraimites.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:8 @ But if you suppose that in this way you will be strong for war, God will cast you down before the enemy; for God has power to help or to cast down."

rsv@2Chronicles:25:9 @ And Amazi'ah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?" The man of God answered, "The LORD is able to give you much more than this."

rsv@2Chronicles:25:11 @ But Amazi'ah took courage, and led out his people, and went to the Valley of Salt and smote ten thousand men of Se'ir.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:12 @ The men of Judah captured another ten thousand alive, and took them to the top of a rock and threw them down from the top of the rock; and they were all dashed to pieces.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:13 @ But the men of the army whom Amazi'ah sent back, not letting them go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Sama'ria to Beth-hor'on, and killed three thousand people in them, and took much spoil.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:14 @ After Amazi'ah came from the slaughter of the E'domites, he brought the gods of the men of Se'ir, and set them up as his gods, and worshiped them, making offerings to them.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:15 @ Therefore the LORD was angry with Amazi'ah and sent to him a prophet, who said to him, "Why have you resorted to the gods of a people, which did not deliver their own people from your hand?"

rsv@2Chronicles:25:16 @ But as he was speaking the king said to him, "Have we made you a royal counselor? Stop! Why should you be put to death?" So the prophet stopped, but said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel."

rsv@2Chronicles:25:17 @ Then Amazi'ah king of Judah took counsel and sent to Jo'ash the son of Jeho'ahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face."

rsv@2Chronicles:25:18 @ And Jo'ash the king of Israel sent word to Amazi'ah king of Judah, "A thistle on Lebanon sent to a cedar on Lebanon, saying, `Give your daughter to my son for a wife'; and a wild beast of Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.

rsv@2Chronicles:25:19 @ You say, `See, I have smitten Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up in boastfulness. But now stay at home; why should you provoke trouble so that you fall, you and Judah with you?"

rsv@2Chronicles:26:14 @ And Uzzi'ah prepared for all the army shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:15 @ In Jerusalem he made engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong he grew proud, to his destruction. For he was false to the LORD his God, and entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:17 @ But Azari'ah the priest went in after him, with eighty priests of the LORD who were men of valor;

rsv@2Chronicles:26:18 @ and they withstood King Uzzi'ah, and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzzi'ah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for you have done wrong, and it will bring you no honor from the LORD God."

rsv@2Chronicles:26:19 @ Then Uzzi'ah was angry. Now he had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and when he became angry with the priests leprosy broke out on his forehead, in the presence of the priests in the house of the LORD, by the altar of incense.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:20 @ And Azari'ah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead! And they thrust him out quickly, and he himself hastened to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:21 @ And King Uzzi'ah was a leper to the day of his death, and being a leper dwelt in a separate house, for he was excluded from the house of the LORD. And Jotham his son was over the king's household, governing the people of the land.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Uzzi'ah, from first to last, Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz wrote.

rsv@2Chronicles:26:23 @ And Uzzi'ah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the burial field which belonged to the kings, for they said, "He is a leper." And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:1 @ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jeru'shah the daughter of Zadok.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:2 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD according to all that his father Uzzi'ah had done--only he did not invade the temple of the LORD. But the people still followed corrupt practices.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:3 @ He built the upper gate of the house of the LORD, and did much building on the wall of Ophel.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:4 @ Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and forts and towers on the wooded hills.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:5 @ He fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them. And the Ammonites gave him that year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of wheat and ten thousand of barley. The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and the third years.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:6 @ So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:7 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:8 @ He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:27:9 @ And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:1 @ Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD, like his father David,

rsv@2Chronicles:28:2 @ but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. He even made molten images for the Ba'als;

rsv@2Chronicles:28:3 @ and he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his sons as an offering, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:4 @ And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Therefore the LORD his God gave him into the hand of the king of Syria, who defeated him and took captive a great number of his people and brought them to Damascus. He was also given into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with great slaughter.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:6 @ For Pekah the son of Remali'ah slew a hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day, all of them men of valor, because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:7 @ And Zichri, a mighty man of E'phraim, slew Ma-asei'ah the king's son and Azri'kam the commander of the palace and Elka'nah the next in authority to the king.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:8 @ The men of Israel took captive two hundred thousand of their kinsfolk, women, sons, and daughters; they also took much spoil from them and brought the spoil to Sama'ria.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:9 @ But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Sama'ria, and said to them, "Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand, but you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:10 @ And now you intend to subjugate the people of Judah and Jerusalem, male and female, as your slaves. Have you not sins of your own against the LORD your God?

rsv@2Chronicles:28:11 @ Now hear me, and send back the captives from your kinsfolk whom you have taken, for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you."

rsv@2Chronicles:28:12 @ Certain chiefs also of the men of E'phraim, Azari'ah the son of Joha'nan, Berechi'ah the son of Meshil'lemoth, Jehizki'ah the son of Shallum, and Ama'sa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who were coming from the war,

rsv@2Chronicles:28:13 @ and said to them, "You shall not bring the captives in here, for you propose to bring upon us guilt against the LORD in addition to our present sins and guilt. For our guilt is already great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."

rsv@2Chronicles:28:14 @ So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:15 @ And the men who have been mentioned by name rose and took the captives, and with the spoil they clothed all that were naked among them; they clothed them, gave them sandals, provided them with food and drink, and anointed them; and carrying all the feeble among them on asses, they brought them to their kinsfolk at Jericho, the city of palm trees. Then they returned to Sama'ria.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:16 @ At that time King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria for help.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:17 @ For the E'domites had again invaded and defeated Judah, and carried away captives.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:18 @ And the Philistines had made raids on the cities in the Shephe'lah and the Negeb of Judah, and had taken Beth-she'mesh, Ai'jalon, Gede'roth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages; and they settled there.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:19 @ For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he had dealt wantonly in Judah and had been faithless to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:20 @ So Til'gath-pilne'ser king of Assyria came against him, and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz took from the house of the LORD and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave tribute to the king of Assyria; but it did not help him.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:22 @ In the time of his distress he became yet more faithless to the LORD--this same King Ahaz.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, and said, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:24 @ And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and he shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:25 @ In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, provoking to anger the LORD, the God of his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:28:27 @ And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. And Hezeki'ah his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezeki'ah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi'jah the daughter of Zechari'ah.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:3 @ In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:4 @ He brought in the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the square on the east,

rsv@2Chronicles:29:5 @ and said to them, "Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filth from the holy place.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:6 @ For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the LORD our God; they have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:7 @ They also shut the doors of the vestibule and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Therefore the wrath of the LORD came on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them an object of horror, of astonishment, and of hissing, as you see with your own eyes.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:9 @ For lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:10 @ Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:11 @ My sons, do not now be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand in his presence, to minister to him, and to be his ministers and burn incense to him."

rsv@2Chronicles:29:12 @ Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Ama'sai, and Jo'el the son of Azari'ah, of the sons of the Ko'hathites; and of the sons of Merar'i, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azari'ah the son of Jehal'lelel; and of the Gershonites, Jo'ah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Jo'ah;

rsv@2Chronicles:29:15 @ They gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in as the king had commanded, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:16 @ The priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and they brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD; and the Levites took it and carried it out to the brook Kidron.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:17 @ They began to sanctify on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the vestibule of the LORD; then for eight days they sanctified the house of the LORD, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:18 @ Then they went in to Hezeki'ah the king and said, "We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the table for the showbread and all its utensils.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:19 @ All the utensils which King Ahaz discarded in his reign when he was faithless, we have made ready and sanctified; and behold, they are before the altar of the LORD."

rsv@2Chronicles:29:20 @ Then Hezeki'ah the king rose early and gathered the officials of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:21 @ And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven he-goats for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:22 @ So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and threw it against the altar; and they killed the rams and their blood was thrown against the altar; and they killed the lambs and their blood was thrown against the altar.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:23 @ Then the he-goats for the sin offering were brought to the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands upon them,

rsv@2Chronicles:29:24 @ and the priests killed them and made a sin offering with their blood on 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.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the commandment of David and of Gad the king's seer and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from the LORD through his prophets.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:26 @ The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:27 @ Then Hezeki'ah commanded that the burnt offering be offered on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song to the LORD began also, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:28 @ The whole assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:29 @ When the offering was finished, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:30 @ And Hezeki'ah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezeki'ah said, "You have now consecrated yourselves to the LORD; come near, bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD." And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings; and all who were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:32 @ The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:33 @ And the consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:34 @ But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had sanctified themselves their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished--for the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in sanctifying themselves.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:35 @ Besides the great number of burnt offerings there was the fat of the peace offerings, and there were the libations for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the LORD was restored.

rsv@2Chronicles:29:36 @ And Hezeki'ah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people; for the thing came about suddenly.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:1 @ Hezeki'ah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to E'phraim and Manas'seh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD the God of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king and his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to keep the passover in the second month--

rsv@2Chronicles:30:3 @ for they could not keep it in its time because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, nor had the people assembled in Jerusalem--

rsv@2Chronicles:30:4 @ and the plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they decreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that the people should come and keep the passover to the LORD the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers as prescribed.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:6 @ So couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his princes, as the king had commanded, saying, "O people of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may turn again to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:7 @ Do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who were faithless to the LORD God of their fathers, so that he made them a desolation, as you see.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Do not now be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will find compassion with their captors, and return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him."

rsv@2Chronicles:30:10 @ So the couriers went from city to city through the country of E'phraim and Manas'seh, and as far as Zeb'ulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:11 @ Only a few men of Asher, of Manas'seh, and of Zeb'ulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:12 @ The hand of God was also upon Judah to give them one heart to do what the king and the princes commanded by the word of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:13 @ And many people came together in Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:14 @ They set to work and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for burning incense they took away and threw into the Kidron valley.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:15 @ And they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were put to shame, so that they sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:16 @ They took their accustomed posts according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from the hand of the Levites.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had to kill the passover lamb for every one who was not clean, to make it holy to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, many of them from E'phraim, Manas'seh, Is'sachar, and Zeb'ulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the passover otherwise than as prescribed. For Hezeki'ah had prayed for them, saying, "The good LORD pardon every one

rsv@2Chronicles:30:19 @ who sets his heart to seek God, the LORD the God of his fathers, even though not according to the sanctuary's rules of cleanness."

rsv@2Chronicles:30:20 @ And the LORD heard Hezeki'ah, and healed the people.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:21 @ And the people of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with all their might to the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezeki'ah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who showed good skill in the service of the LORD. So the people ate the food of the festival for seven days, sacrificing peace offerings and giving thanks to the LORD the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:23 @ Then the whole assembly agreed together to keep the feast for another seven days; so they kept it for another seven days with gladness.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezeki'ah king of Judah gave the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for offerings, and the princes gave the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. And the priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:25 @ The whole assembly of Judah, and the priests and the Levites, and the whole assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners who came out of the land of Israel, and the sojourners who dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:26 @ So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then the priests and the Levites arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy habitation in heaven.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and hewed down the Ashe'rim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in E'phraim and Manas'seh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezeki'ah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, each according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to minister in the gates of the camp of the LORD and to give thanks and praise.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:3 @ The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:4 @ And he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:5 @ As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:6 @ And the people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the dedicated things which had been consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:7 @ In the third month they began to pile up the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:8 @ When Hezeki'ah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:9 @ And Hezeki'ah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:10 @ Azari'ah the chief priest, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, "Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the LORD we have eaten and had enough and have plenty left; for the LORD has blessed his people, so that we have this great store left."

rsv@2Chronicles:31:11 @ Then Hezeki'ah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:12 @ And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conani'ah the Levite, with Shim'e-i his brother as second;

rsv@2Chronicles:31:14 @ And Ko're the son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the LORD and the most holy offerings.

rsv@2Chronicles:31:15 @ Eden, Mini'amin, Jeshua, Shemai'ah, Amari'ah, and Shecani'ah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their brethren, old and young alike, by divisions,

rsv@2Chronicles:31:16 @ except those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upwards, all who entered the house of the LORD as the duty of each day required, for their service according to their offices, by their divisions.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:4 @ A great many people were gathered, and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?"

rsv@2Chronicles:32:5 @ He set to work resolutely and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it, and outside it he built another wall; and he strengthened the Millo in the city of David. He also made weapons and shields in abundance.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:19 @ And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they spoke of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:20 @ Then Hezeki'ah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this and cried to heaven.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:21 @ And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he came into the house of his god, some of his own sons struck him down there with the sword.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:22 @ So the LORD saved Hezeki'ah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennach'erib king of Assyria and from the hand of all his enemies; and he gave them rest on every side.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:23 @ And many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem and precious things to Hezeki'ah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from that time onward.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezeki'ah became sick and was at the point of death, and he prayed to the LORD; and he answered him and gave him a sign.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezeki'ah did not make return according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore wrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:26 @ But Hezeki'ah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezeki'ah.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:27 @ And Hezeki'ah had very great riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of costly vessels;

rsv@2Chronicles:32:28 @ storehouses also for the yield of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and sheepfolds.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:29 @ He likewise provided cities for himself, and flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very great possessions.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:30 @ This same Hezeki'ah closed the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon and directed them down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezeki'ah prospered in all his works.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:31 @ And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to try him and to know all that was in his heart.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:32 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezeki'ah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:32:33 @ And Hezeki'ah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manas'seh his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:1 @ Manas'seh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:2 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which his father Hezeki'ah had broken down, and erected altars to the Ba'als, and made Ashe'rahs, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:4 @ And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, "In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever."

rsv@2Chronicles:33:5 @ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:6 @ And he burned his sons as an offering in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and practiced soothsaying and augury and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with wizards. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking him to anger.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:7 @ And the image of the idol which he had made he set in the house of God, of which God 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, I will put my name for ever;

rsv@2Chronicles:33:8 @ and I will no more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I appointed for your fathers, if only they will be careful to do all that I have commanded them, all the law, the statutes, and the ordinances given through Moses."

rsv@2Chronicles:33:9 @ Manas'seh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the people of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:10 @ The LORD spoke to Manas'seh and to his people, but they gave no heed.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Therefore the LORD brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manas'seh with hooks and bound him with fetters of bronze and brought him to Babylon.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:12 @ And when he was in distress he entreated the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:13 @ He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty and heard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manas'seh knew that the LORD was God.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:14 @ Afterwards he built an outer wall for the city of David west of Gihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into the Fish Gate, and carried it round Ophel, and raised it to a very great height; he also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:15 @ And he took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:16 @ He also restored the altar of the LORD and offered upon it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving; and he commanded Judah to serve the LORD the God of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:17 @ Nevertheless the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manas'seh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD the God of Israel, behold, they are in the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:19 @ And his prayer, and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites on which he built high places and set up the Ashe'rim and the images, before he humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:20 @ So Manas'seh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:21 @ Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:22 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, as Manas'seh his father had done. Amon sacrificed to all the images that Manas'seh his father had made, and served them.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as Manas'seh his father had humbled himself, but this Amon incurred guilt more and more.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:24 @ And his servants conspired against him and killed him in his house.

rsv@2Chronicles:33:25 @ But the people of the land slew all those who had conspired against King Amon; and the people of the land made Josi'ah his son king in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:1 @ Josi'ah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:2 @ He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Ashe'rim, and the graven and the molten images.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:4 @ And they broke down the altars of the Ba'als in his presence; and he hewed down the incense altars which stood above them; and he broke in pieces the Ashe'rim and the graven and the molten images, and he made dust of them and strewed it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:5 @ He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:6 @ And in the cities of Manas'seh, E'phraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naph'tali, in their ruins round about,

rsv@2Chronicles:34:7 @ he broke down the altars, and beat the Ashe'rim and the images into powder, and hewed down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:8 @ Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azali'ah, and Ma-asei'ah the governor of the city, and Jo'ah the son of Jo'ahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:9 @ They came to Hilki'ah the high priest and delivered the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had collected from Manas'seh and E'phraim and from all the remnant of Israel and from all Judah and Benjamin and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:10 @ They delivered it to the workmen who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen who were working in the house of the LORD gave it for repairing and restoring the house.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:11 @ They gave it to the carpenters and the builders to buy quarried stone, and timber for binders and beams for the buildings which the kings of Judah had let go to ruin.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:12 @ And the men did the work faithfully. Over them were set Jahath and Obadi'ah the Levites, of the sons of Merar'i, and Zechari'ah and Meshul'lam, of the sons of the Ko'hathites, to have oversight. The Levites, all who were skilful with instruments of music,

rsv@2Chronicles:34:13 @ were over the burden bearers and directed all who did work in every kind of service; and some of the Levites were scribes, and officials, and gatekeepers.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:14 @ While they were bringing out the money that had been brought into the house of the LORD, Hilki'ah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given through Moses.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:15 @ Then Hilki'ah said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD"; and Hilki'ah gave the book to Shaphan.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:16 @ Shaphan brought the book to the king, and further reported to the king, "All that was committed to your servants they are doing.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:17 @ They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen."

rsv@2Chronicles:34:18 @ Then Shaphan the secretary told the king, "Hilki'ah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it before the king.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:19 @ When the king heard the words of the law he rent his clothes.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:20 @ And the king commanded Hilki'ah, Ahi'kam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asai'ah the king's servant, saying,

rsv@2Chronicles:34:21 @ "Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book."

rsv@2Chronicles:34:22 @ So Hilki'ah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:23 @ And she said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: `Tell the man who sent you to me,

rsv@2Chronicles:34:26 @ But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Regarding the words which you have heard,

rsv@2Chronicles:34:27 @ because your heart was penitent and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and you have humbled yourself before me, and have rent your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, says the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:28 @ Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place and its inhabitants.'" And they brought back word to the king.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:29 @ Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:30 @ And the king went up to the house of the LORD, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the Levites, all the people both great and small; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:31 @ And the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:32 @ Then he made all who were present in Jerusalem and in Benjamin stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:34:33 @ And Josi'ah took away all the abominations from all the territory that belonged to the people of Israel, and made all who were in Israel serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not turn away from following the LORD the God of their fathers.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:1 @ Josi'ah kept a passover to the LORD in Jerusalem; and they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:2 @ He appointed the priests to their offices and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:3 @ And he said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; you need no longer carry it upon your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and his people Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:4 @ Prepare yourselves according to your fathers' houses by your divisions, following the directions of David king of Israel and the directions of Solomon his son.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:5 @ And stand in the holy place according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of your brethren the lay people, and let there be for each a part of a father's house of the Levites.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:6 @ And kill the passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of the LORD by Moses."

rsv@2Chronicles:35:7 @ Then Josi'ah contributed to the lay people, as passover offerings for all that were present, lambs and kids from the flock to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:8 @ And his princes contributed willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilki'ah, Zechari'ah, and Jehi'el, the chief officers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover offerings two thousand six hundred lambs and kids and three hundred bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:9 @ Conani'ah also, and Shemai'ah and Nethan'el his brothers, and Hashabi'ah and Je-i'el and Jo'zabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the passover offerings five thousand lambs and kids and five hundred bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:10 @ When the service had been prepared for, the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions according to the king's command.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:11 @ And they killed the passover lamb, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from them while the Levites flayed the victims.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:12 @ And they set aside the burnt offerings that they might distribute them according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so they did with the bulls.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:13 @ And they roasted the passover lamb with fire according to the ordinance; and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay people.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:14 @ And afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the burnt offerings and the fat parts until night; so the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:15 @ The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jedu'thun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not need to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:16 @ So all the service of the LORD was prepared that day, to keep the passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josi'ah.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:17 @ And the people of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:18 @ No passover like it had been kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; none of the kings of Israel had kept such a passover as was kept by Josi'ah, and the priests and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:19 @ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josi'ah this passover was kept.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:20 @ After all this, when Josi'ah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight at Car'chemish on the Euphra'tes and Josi'ah went out against him.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent envoys to him, saying, "What have we to do with each other, king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war; and God has commanded me to make haste. Cease opposing God, who is with me, lest he destroy you."

rsv@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josi'ah would not turn away from him, but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but joined battle in the plain of Megid'do.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:23 @ And the archers shot King Josi'ah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, for I am badly wounded."

rsv@2Chronicles:35:24 @ So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josi'ah.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:25 @ Jeremiah also uttered a lament for Josi'ah; and all the singing men and singing women have spoken of Josi'ah in their laments to this day. They made these an ordinance in Israel; behold, they are written in the Laments.

rsv@2Chronicles:35:27 @ and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:1 @ The people of the land took Jeho'ahaz the son of Josi'ah and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:2 @ Jeho'ahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:3 @ Then the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and laid upon the land a tribute of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:4 @ And the king of Egypt made Eli'akim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoi'akim; but Neco took Jeho'ahaz his brother and carried him to Egypt.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:5 @ Jehoi'akim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:6 @ Against him came up Nebuchadnez'zar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters to take him to Babylon.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:7 @ Nebuchadnez'zar also carried part of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon and put them in his palace in Babylon.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:8 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoi'akim, and the abominations which he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoi'achin his son reigned in his stead.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:9 @ Jehoi'achin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:10 @ In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnez'zar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the LORD, and made his brother Zedeki'ah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:12 @ He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of the LORD.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:13 @ He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnez'zar, who had made him swear by God; he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:14 @ All the leading priests and the people likewise were exceedingly unfaithful, following all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:15 @ The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent persistently to them by his messengers, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;

rsv@2Chronicles:36:16 @ but they kept mocking the messengers of God, despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets, till the wrath of the LORD rose against his people, till there was no remedy.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:17 @ Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chalde'ans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or aged; he gave them all into his hand.

rsv@2Chronicles:36:18 @ And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

rsv@Ezra:8:35 @ At that time those who had come from captivity, the returned exiles, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and as a sin offering twelve he-goats; all this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

rsv@Daniel:2:15 @ he said to Ar'i-och, the king's captain, "Why is the decree of the king so severe?" Then Ar'i-och made the matter known to Daniel.

rsv@Daniel:2:16 @ And Daniel went in and besought the king to appoint him a time, that he might show to the king the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hanani'ah, Mish'a-el, and Azari'ah, his companions,

rsv@Daniel:2:18 @ and told them to seek mercy of the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

rsv@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel said: "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever. to whom belong wisdom and might.

rsv@Daniel:2:21 @ He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;

rsv@Daniel:2:22 @ he reveals deep and mysterious things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

rsv@Daniel:2:23 @ To thee, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for thou hast given me wisdom and strength, and hast now made known to me what we asked of thee, for thou hast made known to us the king's matter."

rsv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went in to Ar'i-och, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus to him, "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will show the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Ar'i-och brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus to him: "I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who can make known to the king the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:2:26 @ The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation?"

rsv@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered the king, "No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery which the king has asked,

rsv@Daniel:2:28 @ but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnez'zar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these:

rsv@Daniel:2:29 @ To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be hereafter, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.

rsv@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living has this mystery been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.

rsv@Daniel:2:31 @ "You saw, O king, and behold, a great image. This image, mighty and of exceeding brightness, stood before you, and its appearance was frightening.

rsv@Daniel:2:32 @ The head of this image was of fine gold, its breast and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,

rsv@Daniel:2:33 @ its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:34 @ As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it smote the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces;

rsv@Daniel:2:35 @ then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:36 @ "This was the dream; now we will tell the king its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:2:37 @ You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,

rsv@Daniel:2:38 @ and into whose hand he has given, wherever they dwell, the sons of men, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, making you rule over them all--you are the head of gold.

rsv@Daniel:2:39 @ After you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

rsv@Daniel:2:40 @ And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks to pieces and shatters all things; and like iron which crushes, it shall break and crush all these.

rsv@Daniel:2:41 @ And as you saw the feet and toes partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but some of the firmness of iron shall be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the miry clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.

rsv@Daniel:2:43 @ As you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

rsv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;

rsv@Daniel:2:45 @ just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."

rsv@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar fell upon his face, and did homage to Daniel, and commanded that an offering and incense be offered up to him.

rsv@Daniel:2:47 @ The king said to Daniel, "Truly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery."

rsv@Daniel:2:48 @ Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:2:49 @ Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel remained at the king's court.

rsv@Daniel:3:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits. He set it up on the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:3:2 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar sent to assemble the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:3 @ Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, were assembled for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:4 @ And the herald proclaimed aloud, "You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,

rsv@Daniel:3:5 @ that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnez'zar has set up;

rsv@Daniel:3:6 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace."

rsv@Daniel:3:7 @ Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image which King Nebuchadnez'zar had set up.

rsv@Daniel:3:8 @ Therefore at that time certain Chalde'ans came forward and maliciously accused the Jews.

rsv@Daniel:3:9 @ They said to King Nebuchadnez'zar, "O king, live for ever!

rsv@Daniel:3:10 @ You, O king, have made a decree, that every man who hears the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;

rsv@Daniel:3:11 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast into a burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. These men, O king, pay no heed to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar in furious rage commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego be brought. Then they brought these men before the king.

rsv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said to them, "Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image which I have set up?

rsv@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image which I have made, well and good; but if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that will deliver you out of my hands?"

rsv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego answered the king, "O Nebuchadnez'zar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

rsv@Daniel:3:17 @ If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.

rsv@Daniel:3:18 @ But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

rsv@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar was full of fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

rsv@Daniel:3:20 @ And he ordered certain mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:21 @ Then these men were bound in their mantles, their tunics, their hats, and their other garments, and they were cast into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:22 @ Because the king's order was strict and the furnace very hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego.

rsv@Daniel:3:23 @ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.

rsv@Daniel:3:24 @ Then King Nebuchadnez'zar was astonished and rose up in haste. He said to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?" They answered the king, "True, O king."

rsv@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered, "But I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods."

rsv@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnez'zar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace and said, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego came out from the fire.

rsv@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men; the hair of their heads was not singed, their mantles were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them.

rsv@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnez'zar said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set at nought the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.

rsv@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins; for there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

rsv@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed'nego in the province of Babylon.

rsv@Daniel:4:1 @ King Nebuchadnez'zar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!

rsv@Daniel:4:2 @ It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has wrought toward me.

rsv@Daniel:4:3 @ How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.

rsv@Daniel:4:4 @ I, Nebuchadnez'zar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace.

rsv@Daniel:4:5 @ I had a dream which made me afraid; as I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:4:6 @ Therefore I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

rsv@Daniel:4:7 @ Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers came in; and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:4:8 @ At last Daniel came in before me--he who was named Belteshaz'zar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods--and I told him the dream, saying,

rsv@Daniel:4:9 @ "O Belteshaz'zar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is difficult for you, here is the dream which I saw; tell me its interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:4:10 @ The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and its height was great.

rsv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

rsv@Daniel:4:12 @ Its leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the air dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

rsv@Daniel:4:13 @ "I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.

rsv@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried aloud and said thus, `Hew down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit; let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches.

rsv@Daniel:4:15 @ But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven; let his lot be with the beasts in the grass of the earth;

rsv@Daniel:4:16 @ let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; and let seven times pass over him.

rsv@Daniel:4:17 @ The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will, and sets over it the lowliest of men.'

rsv@Daniel:4:18 @ This dream I, King Nebuchadnez'zar, saw. And you, O Belteshaz'zar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you."

rsv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshaz'zar, was dismayed for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, "Belteshaz'zar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you." Belteshaz'zar answered, "My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!

rsv@Daniel:4:20 @ The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth;

rsv@Daniel:4:21 @ whose leaves were fair and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all; under which beasts of the field found shade, and in whose branches the birds of the air dwelt--

rsv@Daniel:4:22 @ it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.

rsv@Daniel:4:23 @ And whereas the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, `Hew down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let him be wet with the dew of heaven; and let his lot be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him';

rsv@Daniel:4:24 @ this is the interpretation, O king: It is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king,

rsv@Daniel:4:25 @ that you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will.

rsv@Daniel:4:26 @ And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be sure for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules.

rsv@Daniel:4:27 @ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you; break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your tranquillity."

rsv@Daniel:4:28 @ All this came upon King Nebuchadnez'zar.

rsv@Daniel:4:29 @ At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,

rsv@Daniel:4:30 @ and the king said, "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?"

rsv@Daniel:4:31 @ While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, "O King Nebuchadnez'zar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you,

rsv@Daniel:4:32 @ and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; and you shall be made to eat grass like an ox; and seven times shall pass over you, until you have learned that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will."

rsv@Daniel:4:33 @ Immediately the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnez'zar. He was driven from among men, and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws.

rsv@Daniel:4:34 @ At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnez'zar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives for ever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;

rsv@Daniel:4:35 @ all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing; and he does according to his will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, "What doest thou?"

rsv@Daniel:4:36 @ At the same time my reason returned to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me.

rsv@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I, Nebuchadnez'zar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven; for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to abase.

rsv@Daniel:5:1 @ King Belshaz'zar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and drank wine in front of the thousand.

rsv@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshaz'zar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver which Nebuchadnez'zar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

rsv@Daniel:5:3 @ Then they brought in the golden and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.

rsv@Daniel:5:4 @ They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

rsv@Daniel:5:5 @ Immediately the fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, opposite the lampstand; and the king saw the hand as it wrote.

rsv@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king's color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him; his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together.

rsv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chalde'ans, and the astrologers. The king said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

rsv@Daniel:5:8 @ Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:5:9 @ Then King Belshaz'zar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed; and his lords were perplexed.

rsv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banqueting hall; and the queen said, "O king, live for ever! Let not your thoughts alarm you or your color change.

rsv@Daniel:5:11 @ There is in your kingdom a man in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him, and King Nebuchadnez'zar, your father, made him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chalde'ans, and astrologers,

rsv@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, knowledge, and understanding to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshaz'zar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation."

rsv@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was brought in before the king. The king said to Daniel, "You are that Daniel, one of the exiles of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah.

rsv@Daniel:5:14 @ I have heard of you that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.

rsv@Daniel:5:15 @ Now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation; but they could not show the interpretation of the matter.

rsv@Daniel:5:16 @ But I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation.

rsv@Daniel:5:18 @ O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnez'zar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty;

rsv@Daniel:5:19 @ and because of the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him; whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.

rsv@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 his glory was taken from him;

rsv@Daniel:5:21 @ he was driven from among men, and his mind was made like that of a beast, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; he was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of men, and sets over it whom he will.

rsv@Daniel:5:22 @ And you his son, Belshaz'zar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this,

rsv@Daniel:5:23 @ but you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven; and the vessels of his house have been brought in before you, and you and your lords, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored.

rsv@Daniel:5:24 @ "Then from his presence the hand was sent, and this writing was inscribed.

rsv@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.

rsv@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end;

rsv@Daniel:5:27 @ TEKEL, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting;

rsv@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."

rsv@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Belshaz'zar commanded, and Daniel was clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put about his neck, and proclamation was made concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:5:30 @ That very night Belshaz'zar the Chalde'an king was slain.

rsv@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

rsv@Daniel:6:1 @ It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, to be throughout the whole kingdom;

rsv@Daniel:6:2 @ and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, to whom these satraps should give account, so that the king might suffer no loss.

rsv@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:6:4 @ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom; but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him.

rsv@Daniel:6:5 @ Then these men said, "We shall not find any ground for complaint against this Daniel unless we find it in connection with the law of his God."

rsv@Daniel:6:6 @ Then these presidents and satraps came by agreement to the king and said to him, "O King Darius, live for ever!

rsv@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the counselors and the governors are agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce an interdict, that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the interdict and sign the document, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:9 @ Therefore King Darius signed the document and interdict.

rsv@Daniel:6:10 @ When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem; and he got down upon his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously.

rsv@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

rsv@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and said before the king, concerning the interdict, "O king! Did you not sign an interdict, that any man who makes petition to any god or man within thirty days except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The thing stands fast, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be revoked."

rsv@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered before the king, "That Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no heed to you, O king, or the interdict you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."

rsv@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was much distressed, and set his mind to deliver Daniel; and he labored till the sun went down to rescue him.

rsv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men came by agreement to the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no interdict or ordinance which the king establishes can be changed."

rsv@Daniel:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and Daniel was brought and cast into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!"

rsv@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.

rsv@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting; no diversions were brought to him, and sleep fled from him.

rsv@Daniel:6:19 @ Then, at break of day, the king arose and went in haste to the den of lions.

rsv@Daniel:6:20 @ When he came near to the den where Daniel was, he cried out in a tone of anguish and said to Daniel, "O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

rsv@Daniel:6:21 @ Then Daniel said to the king, "O king, live for ever!

rsv@Daniel:6:22 @ My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, because I was found blameless before him; and also before you, O king, I have done no wrong."

rsv@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was exceedingly glad, and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

rsv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and those men who had accused Daniel were brought and cast into the den of lions--they, their children, and their wives; and before they reached the bottom of the den the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces.

rsv@Daniel:6:25 @ Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: "Peace be multiplied to you.

rsv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring for ever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.

rsv@Daniel:6:27 @ He delivers and rescues, he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."

rsv@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

rsv@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshaz'zar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, and told the sum of the matter.

rsv@Daniel:7:2 @ Daniel said, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.

rsv@Daniel:7:3 @ And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.

rsv@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand upon two feet like a man; and the mind of a man was given to it.

rsv@Daniel:7:5 @ And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side; it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, `Arise, devour much flesh.'

rsv@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I looked, and lo, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back; and the beast had four heads; and dominion was given to it.

rsv@Daniel:7:7 @ After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible and dreadful and exceedingly strong; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

rsv@Daniel:7:8 @ I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

rsv@Daniel:7:9 @ As I looked, thrones were placed and one that was ancient of days took his seat; his raiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, its wheels were burning fire.

rsv@Daniel:7:10 @ A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.

rsv@Daniel:7:11 @ I looked then because of the sound of the great words which the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.

rsv@Daniel:7:12 @ As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

rsv@Daniel:7:13 @ I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

rsv@Daniel:7:14 @ And to him was given dominion and glory and kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.

rsv@Daniel:7:15 @ "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the visions of my head alarmed me.

rsv@Daniel:7:16 @ I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.

rsv@Daniel:7:17 @ `These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.

rsv@Daniel:7:18 @ But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, for ever and ever.'

rsv@Daniel:7:19 @ "Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrible, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze; and which devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;

rsv@Daniel:7:20 @ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up and before which three of them fell, the horn which had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and which seemed greater than its fellows.

rsv@Daniel:7:21 @ As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them,

rsv@Daniel:7:22 @ until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints received the kingdom.

rsv@Daniel:7:23 @ "Thus he said: `As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.

rsv@Daniel:7:24 @ As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.

rsv@Daniel:7:25 @ He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time.

rsv@Daniel:7:26 @ But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.

rsv@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; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'

rsv@Daniel:7:28 @ "Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed; but I kept the matter in my mind."

rsv@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of King Belshaz'zar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

rsv@Daniel:8:2 @ And I saw in the vision; and when I saw, I was in Susa the capital, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was at the river U'lai.

rsv@Daniel:8:3 @ I raised my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram standing on the bank of the river. It had two horns; and both horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

rsv@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram charging westward and northward and southward; no beast could stand before him, and there was no one who could rescue from his power; he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

rsv@Daniel:8:5 @ As I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

rsv@Daniel:8:6 @ He came to the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the river, and he ran at him in his mighty wrath.

rsv@Daniel:8:7 @ I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns; and the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled upon him; and there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.

rsv@Daniel:8:8 @ Then the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.

rsv@Daniel:8:9 @ Out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

rsv@Daniel:8:10 @ It grew great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

rsv@Daniel:8:11 @ It magnified itself, even up to the Prince of the host; and the continual burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown.

rsv@Daniel:8:12 @ And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt offering through transgression; and truth was cast down to the ground, and the horn acted and prospered.

rsv@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled under foot?"

rsv@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to him, "For two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state."

rsv@Daniel:8:15 @ When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

rsv@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the U'lai, and it called, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

rsv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened and fell upon my face. But he said to me, "Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end."

rsv@Daniel:8:18 @ As he was speaking to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and set me on my feet.

rsv@Daniel:8:19 @ He said, "Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation; for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

rsv@Daniel:8:20 @ As for the ram which you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia.

rsv@Daniel:8:21 @ And the he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn between his eyes is the first king.

rsv@Daniel:8:22 @ As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power.

rsv@Daniel:8:23 @ And at the latter end of their rule, when the transgressors have reached their full measure, a king of bold countenance, one who understands riddles, shall arise.

rsv@Daniel:8:24 @ His power shall be great, and he shall cause fearful destruction, and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people of the saints.

rsv@Daniel:8:25 @ By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall magnify himself. Without warning he shall destroy many; and he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes; but, by no human hand, he shall be broken.

rsv@Daniel:8:26 @ The vision of the evenings and the mornings which has been told is true; but seal up the vision, for it pertains to many days hence."

rsv@Daniel:8:27 @ And I, Daniel, was overcome and lay sick for some days; then I rose and went about the king's business; but I was appalled by the vision and did not understand it.

rsv@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasu-e'rus, by birth a Mede, who became king over the realm of the Chalde'ans--

rsv@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years which, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

rsv@Daniel:9:3 @ Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

rsv@Daniel:9:4 @ I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying, "O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepest covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments,

rsv@Daniel:9:5 @ we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from thy commandments and ordinances;

rsv@Daniel:9:6 @ we have not listened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

rsv@Daniel:9:7 @ To thee, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those that are near and those that are far away, in all the lands to which thou hast driven them, because of the treachery which they have committed against thee.

rsv@Daniel:9:8 @ To us, O Lord, belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

rsv@Daniel:9:9 @ To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness; because we have rebelled against him,

rsv@Daniel:9:10 @ and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God by following his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.

rsv@Daniel:9:11 @ All Israel has transgressed thy law and turned aside, refusing to obey thy voice. And the curse and oath which are written in the law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because we have sinned against him.

rsv@Daniel:9:12 @ He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing upon us a great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done the like of what has been done against Jerusalem.

rsv@Daniel:9:13 @ As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us, yet we have not entreated the favor of the LORD our God, turning from our iniquities and giving heed to thy truth.

rsv@Daniel:9:14 @ Therefore the LORD has kept ready the calamity and has brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which he has done, and we have not obeyed his voice.

rsv@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who didst bring thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast made thee a name, as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

rsv@Daniel:9:16 @ O Lord, according to all thy righteous acts, let thy anger and thy wrath turn away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy hill; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people have become a byword among all who are round about us.

rsv@Daniel:9:17 @ Now therefore, O our God, hearken to the prayer of thy servant and to his supplications, and for thy own sake, O Lord, cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary, which is desolate.

rsv@Daniel:9:18 @ O my God, incline thy ear and hear; open thy eyes and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name; for we do not present our supplications before thee on the ground of our righteousness, but on the ground of thy great mercy.

rsv@Daniel:9:19 @ O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, give heed and act; delay not, for thy own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name."

rsv@Daniel:9:20 @ While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy hill of my God;

rsv@Daniel:9:21 @ while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice.

rsv@Daniel:9:22 @ He came and he said to me, "O Daniel, I have now come out to give you wisdom and understanding.

rsv@Daniel:9:23 @ At the beginning of your supplications a word went forth, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the word and understand the vision.

rsv@Daniel:9:24 @ "Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.

rsv@Daniel:9:25 @ Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.

rsv@Daniel:9:26 @ And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war; desolations are decreed.

rsv@Daniel:9:27 @ And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator."

rsv@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshaz'zar. And the word was true, and it was a great conflict. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.

rsv@Daniel:10:2 @ In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks.

rsv@Daniel:10:3 @ I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.

rsv@Daniel:10:4 @ On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, that is, the Tigris,

rsv@Daniel:10:5 @ I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with gold of Uphaz.

rsv@Daniel:10:6 @ His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the noise of a multitude.

rsv@Daniel:10:7 @ And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.

rsv@Daniel:10:8 @ So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me; my radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength.

rsv@Daniel:10:9 @ Then I heard the sound of his words; and when I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in a deep sleep with my face to the ground.

rsv@Daniel:10:10 @ And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

rsv@Daniel:10:11 @ And he said to me, "O Daniel, man greatly beloved, give heed to the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you." While he was speaking this word to me, I stood up trembling.

rsv@Daniel:10:12 @ Then he said to me, "Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.

rsv@Daniel:10:13 @ The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, so I left him there with the prince of the kingdom of Persia

rsv@Daniel:10:14 @ and came to make you understand what is to befall your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come."

rsv@Daniel:10:15 @ When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was dumb.

rsv@Daniel:10:16 @ And behold, one in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, "O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and I retain no strength.

rsv@Daniel:10:17 @ How can my lord's servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me."

rsv@Daniel:10:18 @ Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.

rsv@Daniel:10:19 @ And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage." And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

rsv@Daniel:10:20 @ Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I am through with him, lo, the prince of Greece will come.

rsv@Daniel:10:21 @ But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince.

rsv@Daniel:11:1 @ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

rsv@Daniel:11:2 @ "And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia; and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

rsv@Daniel:11:3 @ Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do according to his will.

rsv@Daniel:11:4 @ And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.
