Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:16 - Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:17 - The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:9 - Once when they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the LORD's house.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:12 - As she kept on praying to the LORD, Eli observed her mouth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:14 - and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:18 - She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:19 - Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the LORD remembered her.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:20 - So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel,[fn] saying, “Because I asked the LORD for him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:22 - Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, “After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:23 - “Do what seems best to you,” her husband Elkanah told her. “Stay here until you have weaned him; only may the LORD make good his[fn] word.” So the woman stayed at home and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:24 - After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull,[fn] an ephah[fn] of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:25 - When the bull had been sacrificed, they brought the boy to Eli,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:27 - I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:13 - Now it was the practice of the priests that, whenever any of the people offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand while the meat was being boiled
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:14 - and would plunge the fork into the pan or kettle or caldron or pot. Whatever the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:15 - But even before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast; he won't accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:16 - If the person said to him, “Let the fat be burned first, and then take whatever you want,” the servant would answer, “No, hand it over now; if you don't, I'll take it by force.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:23 - So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:29 - Why do you[fn] scorn my sacrifice and offering that I prescribed for my dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:31 - The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:6 - Again the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:8 - A third time the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:17 - “What was it he said to you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:18 - So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, “He is the LORD; let him do what is good in his eyes.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:16 - He told Eli, “I have just come from the battle line; I fled from it this very day.” Eli asked, “What happened, my son?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:21 - She named the boy Ichabod,[fn] saying, “The Glory has departed from Israel”—because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:4 - But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the LORD! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:9 - But after they had moved it, the LORD's hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:4 - The Philistines asked, “What guilt offering should we send to him?” They replied, “Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague has struck both you and your rulers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:11 - They placed the ark of the LORD on the cart and along with it the chest containing the gold rats and the models of the tumors.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:15 - The Levites took down the ark of the LORD, together with the chest containing the gold objects, and placed them on the large rock. On that day the people of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:12 - Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer,[fn] saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:14 - The towns from Ekron to Gath that the Philistines had captured from Israel were restored to Israel, and Israel delivered the neighboring territory from the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:6 - But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:9 - Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:10 - Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:11 - He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:7 - Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:10 - “Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let's go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:15 - Now the day before Saul came, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel:
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:21 - Saul answered, “But am I not a Benjamite, from the smallest tribe of Israel, and is not my clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? Why do you say such a thing to me?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:22 - Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:1 - Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul's head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over his inheritance?[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:2 - When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel's tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried about you. He is asking, “What shall I do about my son?” '
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:5 - “After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, timbrels, pipes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:11 - When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, “What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:14 - Now Saul's uncle asked him and his servant, “Where have you been?” “Looking for the donkeys,” he said. “But when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:16 - Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:25 - Samuel explained to the people the rights and duties of kingship. He wrote them down on a scroll and deposited it before the LORD. Then Samuel dismissed the people to go to their own homes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:5 - Just then Saul was returning from the fields, behind his oxen, and he asked, “What is wrong with everyone? Why are they weeping?” Then they repeated to him what the men of Jabesh had said.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:10 - They said to the Ammonites, “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever you like.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:11 - The next day Saul separated his men into three divisions; during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:16 - “Now then, stand still and see this great thing the LORD is about to do before your eyes!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:22 - For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:2 - Saul chose three thousand men from Israel; two thousand were with him at Mikmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah in Benjamin. The rest of the men he sent back to their homes.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:20 - So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plow points, mattocks, axes and sickles[fn] sharpened.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:6 - Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:18 - Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God.” (At that time it was with the Israelites.)[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:26 - When they went into the woods, they saw the honey oozing out; yet no one put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:27 - But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people with the oath, so he reached out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:34 - Then he said, “Go out among the men and tell them, ‘Each of you bring me your cattle and sheep, and slaughter them here and eat them. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with blood still in it.' ” So everyone brought his ox that night and slaughtered it there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:36 - Saul said, “Let us go down and pursue the Philistines by night and plunder them till dawn, and let us not leave one of them alive.” “Do whatever seems best to you,” they replied. But the priest said, “Let us inquire of God here.”
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 14:42 - Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:12 - Early in the morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul, but he was told, “Saul has gone to Carmel. There he has set up a monument in his own honor and has turned and gone on down to Gilgal.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:19 - Why did you not obey the LORD? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the LORD?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:20 - “But I did obey the LORD,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the LORD assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:22 - But Samuel replied: “Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:23 - For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:24 - Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned. I violated the LORD's command and your instructions. I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them.
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 15:26 - But Samuel said to him, “I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you as king over Israel!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:27 - As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:1 - The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:13 - So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:49 - Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:8 - Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:10 - Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.
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 20:13 - 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 20:16 - So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “May the LORD call David's enemies to account.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:19 - The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:21 - Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.' If I say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,' then come, because, as surely as the LORD lives, you are safe; there is no danger.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:23 - And about the matter you and I discussed—remember, the LORD is witness between you and me forever.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:33 - But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:35 - In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:39 - (The boy knew nothing about all this; only Jonathan and David knew.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:40 - Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, “Go, carry them back to town.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:2 - David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.' As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place.
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 21:8 - 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 21:13 - So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:1 - David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's household heard about it, they went down to him there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:4 - So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.
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 22:17 - 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 23:9 - When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:20 - Now, Your Majesty, come down whenever it pleases you to do so, and we will be responsible for giving him into your hands.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 - The men said, “This is the day the LORD spoke of when he said[fn] to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.' ” Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:5 - Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe.
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 24:11 - 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 24:21 - 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 25:2 - A certain man in Maon, who had property there at Carmel, was very wealthy. He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:4 - While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:16 - Night and day they were a wall around us the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.
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 25:28 - “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 25:35 - Then David accepted from her hand what she had brought him and said, “Go home in peace. I have heard your words and granted your request.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:7 - So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.
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 26:12 - So David took the spear and water jug near Saul's head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:13 - Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on top of the hill some distance away; there was a wide space between them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 - What you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the LORD's anointed. Look around you. Where are the king's spear and water jug that were near his head?”
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 26:22 - “Here is the king's spear,” David answered. “Let one of your young men come over and get it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:11 - He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, “They might inform on us and say, ‘This is what David did.' ” And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:18 - Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the LORD has done this to you today.
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 30:7 - Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:12 - part of a cake of pressed figs and two cakes of raisins. He ate and was revived, for he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and three nights.
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 Box1Sa 30:23 - David replied, “No, my brothers, you must not do that with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiding party that came against us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:24 - Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:6 - So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:10 - They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:12 - all their valiant men marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:1 - After the death of Saul, David returned from striking down the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:6 - “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” the young man said, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and their drivers in hot pursuit.
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 2:5 - he sent messengers to them to say to them, “The LORD bless you for showing this kindness to Saul your master by burying him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:6 - May the LORD now show you kindness and faithfulness, and I too will show you the same favor because you have done this.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:13 - Joab son of Zeruiah and David's men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon. One group sat down on one side of the pool and one group on the other side.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:16 - Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his dagger into his opponent's side, and they fell down together. So that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.[fn]
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 2:23 - But Asahel refused to give up the pursuit; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into Asahel's stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot. And every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
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 4:11 - How much more—when wicked men have killed an innocent man in his own house and on his own bed—should I not now demand his blood from your hand and rid the earth of you!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:13 - After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:9 - I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:12 - When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.
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 7:25 - “And now, LORD God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:27 - “LORD Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.' So your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 9:9 - Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul's steward, and said to him, “I have given your master's grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:3 - the Ammonite commanders said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Hasn't David sent them to you only to explore the city and spy it out and overthrow it?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:10 - He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai his brother and deployed them against the Ammonites.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:12 - Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:15 - After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they regrouped.
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 11:21 - Who killed Abimelek son of Jerub-Besheth[fn]? Didn't a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?' If he asks you this, then say to him, ‘Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:22 - The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say.
