Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:18 - then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:20 - And be sure to say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.' ” For he thought, “I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:13 - But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender and that I must care for the ewes and cows that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard just one day, all the animals will die.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:40 - Saul then said to all the Israelites, “You stand over there; I and Jonathan my son will stand over here.” “Do what seems best to you,” they replied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:41 - Then Saul prayed to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the men of Israel are at fault,[fn] respond with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the men were cleared.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:42 - Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:43 - Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” So Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey with the end of my staff. And now I must die!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:11 - “I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.” Samuel was angry, and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:14 - But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of sheep in my ears? What is this lowing of cattle that I hear?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:25 - Now I beg you, forgive my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:30 - Saul replied, “I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel; come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD your God.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:22 - Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:32 - David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:46 - This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:3 - I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I'll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:17 - Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?” Michal told him, “He said to me, ‘Let me get away. Why should I kill you?' ”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:1 - Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to kill me?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:2 - “Never!” Jonathan replied. “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn't do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn't so!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:3 - But David took an oath and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.' Yet as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:9 - “Never!” Jonathan said. “If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn't I tell you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:12 - Then Jonathan said to David, “I swear by the LORD, the God of Israel, that I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:13 - But if my father intends to harm you, may the LORD deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the LORD be with you as he has been with my father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:14 - But show me unfailing kindness like the LORD's kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:15 - and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family—not even when the LORD has cut off every one of David's enemies from the face of the earth.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:29 - He said, ‘Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.' That is why he has not come to the king's table.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:42 - Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘The LORD is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.' ” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:3 - Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:4 - But the priest answered David, “I don't have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here—provided the men have kept themselves from women.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:5 - David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever[fn] I set out. The men's bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:8 - David asked Ahimelek, “Don't you have a spear or a sword here? I haven't brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king's mission was urgent.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:3 - From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father's family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:17 - Then the king ordered the guards at his side: “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me.” But the king's officials were unwilling to raise a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:23 - Stay with me; don't be afraid. The man who wants to kill you is trying to kill me too. You will be safe with me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:7 - Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, and he said, “God has delivered him into my hands, for David has imprisoned himself by entering a town with gates and bars.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:17 - “Don't be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:6 - He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - This day you have seen with your own eyes how the LORD delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the LORD's anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I have not wronged you, but you are hunting me down to take my life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:12 - May the LORD judge between you and me. And may the LORD avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:13 - As the old saying goes, ‘From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:15 - May the LORD be our judge and decide between us. May he consider my cause and uphold it; may he vindicate me by delivering me from your hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:21 - Now swear to me by the LORD that you will not kill off my descendants or wipe out my name from my father's family.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:5 - So he sent ten young men and said to them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:11 - Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:19 - Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead; I'll follow you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:24 - She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:25 - Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:26 - And now, my lord, as surely as the LORD your God lives and as you live, since the LORD has kept you from bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hands, may your enemies and all who are intent on harming my lord be like Nabal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:27 - And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:28 - “Please forgive your servant's presumption. The LORD your God will certainly make a lasting dynasty for my lord, because you fight the LORD's battles, and no wrongdoing will be found in you as long as you live.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:29 - Even though someone is pursuing you to take your life, the life of my lord will be bound securely in the bundle of the living by the LORD your God, but the lives of your enemies he will hurl away as from the pocket of a sling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:30 - When the LORD has fulfilled for my lord every good thing he promised concerning him and has appointed him ruler over Israel,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:31 - my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the LORD your God has brought my lord success, remember your servant.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:32 - David said to Abigail, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:33 - May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:39 - When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise be to the LORD, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal's wrongdoing down on his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:11 - But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD's anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let's go.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:18 - And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong am I guilty of?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:19 - Now let my lord the king listen to his servant's words. If the LORD has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering. If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the LORD! They have driven me today from my share in the LORD's inheritance and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:20 - Now do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. The king of Israel has come out to look for a flea—as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:21 - Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 - The LORD rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the LORD's anointed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:24 - As surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and deliver me from all trouble.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:9 - But the woman said to him, “Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:17 - The LORD has done what he predicted through me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:21 - When the woman came to Saul and saw that he was greatly shaken, she said, “Look, your servant has obeyed you. I took my life in my hands and did what you told me to do.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:6 - So Achish called David and said to him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day you came to me until today, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers don't approve of you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:8 - “But what have I done?” asked David. “What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can't I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:9 - Achish answered, “I know that you have been as pleasing in my eyes as an angel of God; nevertheless, the Philistine commanders have said, ‘He must not go up with us into battle.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:10 - Now get up early, along with your master's servants who have come with you, and leave in the morning as soon as it is light.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:13 - David asked him, “Who do you belong to? Where do you come from?” He said, “I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me when I became ill three days ago.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:15 - David asked him, “Can you lead me down to this raiding party?” He answered, “Swear to me before God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to them.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:9 - “Then he said to me, ‘Stand here by me and kill me! I'm in the throes of death, but I'm still alive.'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:10 - “So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:26 - I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; you were very dear to me. Your love for me was wonderful, more wonderful than that of women.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:22 - Again Abner warned Asahel, “Stop chasing me! Why should I strike you down? How could I look your brother Joab in the face?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:7 - Now Saul had had a concubine named Rizpah daughter of Aiah. And Ish-Bosheth said to Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father's concubine?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:12 - Then Abner sent messengers on his behalf to say to David, “Whose land is it? Make an agreement with me, and I will help you bring all Israel over to you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:13 - “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:14 - Then David sent messengers to Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, demanding, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for the price of a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:18 - Now do it! For the LORD promised David, ‘By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:21 - Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once and assemble all Israel for my lord the king, so that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:28 - Later, when David heard about this, he said, “I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:9 - David answered Rekab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:10 - when someone told me, ‘Saul is dead,' and thought he was bringing good news, I seized him and put him to death in Ziklag. That was the reward I gave him for his news!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:2 - In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the LORD said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:19 - so David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?” The LORD answered him, “Go, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:20 - So David went to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, the LORD has broken out against my enemies before me.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:5 - “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:7 - Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?” '
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:8 - “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:10 - And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:11 - and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[fn] over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. “ ‘The LORD declares to you that the LORD himself will establish a house for you:
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:13 - He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:15 - But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:18 - Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: “Who am I, Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:19 - And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign LORD, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant—and this decree, Sovereign LORD, is for a mere human![fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:20 - “What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Sovereign LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:22 - “How great you are, Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:25 - “And now, LORD God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:28 - Sovereign LORD, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:29 - Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign LORD, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 9:7 - “Don't be afraid,” David said to him, “for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 9:10 - You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master's grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table.” (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 9:11 - Then Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do.” So Mephibosheth ate at David's[fn] table like one of the king's sons.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:11 - Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,[fn] and my commander Joab and my lord's men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:28 - Now muster the rest of the troops and besiege the city and capture it. Otherwise I will take the city, and it will be named after me.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:4 - He asked Amnon, “Why do you, the king's son, look so haggard morning after morning? Won't you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I'm in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:5 - “Go to bed and pretend to be ill,” Jonadab said. “When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘I would like my sister Tamar to come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare the food in my sight so I may watch her and then eat it from her hand.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:6 - So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “I would like my sister Tamar to come and make some special bread in my sight, so I may eat from her hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:9 - Then she took the pan and served him the bread, but he refused to eat. “Send everyone out of here,” Amnon said. So everyone left him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:11 - But when she took it to him to eat, he grabbed her and said, “Come to bed with me, my sister.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:12 - “No, my brother!” she said to him. “Don't force me! Such a thing should not be done in Israel! Don't do this wicked thing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:13 - What about me? Where could I get rid of my disgrace? And what about you? You would be like one of the wicked fools in Israel. Please speak to the king; he will not keep me from being married to you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:20 - Her brother Absalom said to her, “Has that Amnon, your brother, been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother. Don't take this thing to heart.” And Tamar lived in her brother Absalom's house, a desolate woman.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:25 - “No, my son,” the king replied. “All of us should not go; we would only be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go but gave him his blessing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:26 - Then Absalom said, “If not, please let my brother Amnon come with us.” The king asked him, “Why should he go with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:32 - But Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, “My lord should not think that they killed all the princes; only Amnon is dead. This has been Absalom's express intention ever since the day Amnon raped his sister Tamar.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:33 - My lord the king should not be concerned about the report that all the king's sons are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:5 - The king asked her, “What is troubling you?” She said, “I am a widow; my husband is dead.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:7 - Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant; they say, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother down, so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed; then we will get rid of the heir as well.' They would put out the only burning coal I have left, leaving my husband neither name nor descendant on the face of the earth.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:9 - But the woman from Tekoa said to him, “Let my lord the king pardon me and my family, and let the king and his throne be without guilt.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:11 - She said, “Then let the king invoke the LORD his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son will not be destroyed.” “As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “not one hair of your son's head will fall to the ground.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:12 - Then the woman said, “Let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” “Speak,” he replied.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:15 - “And now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king; perhaps he will grant his servant's request.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:16 - Perhaps the king will agree to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who is trying to cut off both me and my son from God's inheritance.'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:17 - “And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king secure my inheritance, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:18 - Then the king said to the woman, “Don't keep from me the answer to what I am going to ask you.” “Let my lord the king speak,” the woman said.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:19 - The king asked, “Isn't the hand of Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything my lord the king says. Yes, it was your servant Joab who instructed me to do this and who put all these words into the mouth of your servant.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:20 - Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God—he knows everything that happens in the land.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:22 - Joab fell with his face to the ground to pay him honor, and he blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant's request.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:24 - But the king said, “He must go to his own house; he must not see my face.” So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the face of the king.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:30 - Then he said to his servants, “Look, Joab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:7 - At the end of four[fn] years, Absalom said to the king, “Let me go to Hebron and fulfill a vow I made to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:21 - But Ittai replied to the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:31 - Now David had been told, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “LORD, turn Ahithophel's counsel into foolishness.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:34 - But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘Your Majesty, I will be your servant; I was your father's servant in the past, but now I will be your servant,' then you can help me by frustrating Ahithophel's advice.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:3 - The king then asked, “Where is your master's grandson?” Ziba said to him, “He is staying in Jerusalem, because he thinks, ‘Today the Israelites will restore to me my grandfather's kingdom.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:4 - Then the king said to Ziba, “All that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” “I humbly bow,” Ziba said. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:9 - Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:11 - David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:12 - It may be that the LORD will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:12 - But the man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels[fn] were weighed out into my hands, I would not lay a hand on the king's son. In our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.[fn]'

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:1 - I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:3 - I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:4 - I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards.
