Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:41 - Then you responded to me and admitted, "We have sinned against the LORD. We will now go up and fight as the LORD our God has told us to do." So you each put on your battle gear and prepared to go up to the hill country.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:43 - I spoke to you, but you did not listen. Instead you rebelled against the LORD and recklessly went up to the hill country.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 1:44 - The Amorite inhabitants of that area confronted you and chased you like a swarm of bees, striking you down from Seir as far as Hormah.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:1 - Then we turned and set out toward the desert land on the way to the Red Sea just as the LORD told me to do, detouring around Mount Seir for a long time.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:19 - But when you come close to the Ammonites, do not harass or provoke them because I am not giving you any of the Ammonites' land as your possession; I have already given it to Lot's descendants as their possession.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:29 - just as the descendants of Esau who live at Seir and the Moabites who live in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land the LORD our God is giving us."
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:30 - But King Sihon of Heshbon was unwilling to allow us to pass near him because the LORD our God had made him obstinate and stubborn so that he might deliver him over to you this very day.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:32 - When Sihon and all his troops emerged to encounter us in battle at Jahaz,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:36 - From Aroer, which is at the edge of Wadi Arnon (it is the city in the wadi), all the way to Gilead there was not a town able to resist us - the LORD our God gave them all to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:37 - However, you did not approach the land of the Ammonites, the Wadi Jabbok, the cities of the hill country, or any place else forbidden by the LORD our God.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:1 - Next we set out on the route to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:2 - The LORD, however, said to me, "Don't be afraid of him because I have already given him, his whole army, and his land to you. You will do to him exactly what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon."
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:3 - So the LORD our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:20 - You must fight until the LORD gives your countrymen victory as he did you and they take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan River. Then each of you may return to his own territory that I have given you."

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:14 - Moreover, at that same time the LORD commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to keep in the land which you are about to enter and possess.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:19 - When you look up to the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars - the whole heavenly creation - you must not be seduced to worship and serve them, for the LORD your God has assigned them to all the people of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:21 - But the LORD became angry with me because of you and vowed that I would never cross the Jordan nor enter the good land that he is about to give you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:26 - I invoke heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that you will surely and swiftly be removed from the very land you are about to cross the Jordan to possess. You will not last long there because you will surely be annihilated.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:27 - Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples and there will be very few of you among the nations where the LORD will drive you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:42 - Anyone who accidentally killed someone without hating him at the time of the accident could flee to one of those cities and be safe.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:10 - but I show covenant faithfulness to the thousands who choose me and keep my commandments.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:30 - Go and tell them, 'Return to your tents!'
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:32 - Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the LORD your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left!
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:1 - Now these are the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that the LORD your God instructed me to teach you so that you may carry them out in the land where you are headed
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:8 - You should tie them as a reminder on your forearm and fasten them as symbols on your forehead.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:10 - Then when the LORD your God brings you to the land he promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to give you - a land with large, fine cities you did not build,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:1 - When the LORD your God brings you to the land that you are going to occupy and forces out many nations before you - Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and powerful than you -
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:2 - and he delivers them over to you and you attack them, you must utterly annihilate them. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy!
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:4 - for they will turn your sons away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will erupt against you and he will quickly destroy you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:9 - So realize that the LORD your God is the true God, the faithful God who keeps covenant faithfully with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:20 - Furthermore, the LORD your God will release hornets among them until the very last ones who hide from you perish.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:26 - You must not bring any abhorrent thing into your house and thereby become an object of divine wrath along with it. You must absolutely detest and abhor it, for it is an object of divine wrath.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:7 - For the LORD your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks, springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:7 - Remember - don't ever forget - how you provoked the LORD your God in the desert; from the time you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place you were constantly rebelling against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:9 - When I went up the mountain to receive the stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I remained there forty days and nights, eating and drinking nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:14 - Stand aside and I will destroy them, obliterating their very name from memory, and I will make you into a stronger and more numerous nation than they are."
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:21 - As for your sinful thing that you had made, the calf, I took it, melted it down, ground it up until it was as fine as dust, and tossed the dust into the stream that flows down the mountain.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:28 - Otherwise the people of the land from which you brought us will say, "The LORD was unable to bring them to the land he promised them, and because of his hatred for them he has brought them out to kill them in the desert."
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:1 - At that same time the LORD said to me, "Carve out for yourself two stone tablets like the first ones and come up the mountain to me; also make for yourself a wooden ark.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:2 - I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the first tablets you broke, and you must put them into the ark."
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 10:3 - So I made an ark of acacia wood and carved out two stone tablets just like the first ones. Then I went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:5 - They did not see what he did to you in the desert before you reached this place,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:8 - Now pay attention to all the commandments I am giving you today, so that you may be strong enough to enter and possess the land where you are headed,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:10 - For the land where you are headed is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, a land where you planted seed and which you irrigated by hand like a vegetable garden.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:11 - Instead, the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy is one of hills and valleys, a land that drinks in water from the rains,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:7 - So now go and make a new cart. Get two cows that have calves and that have never had a yoke placed on them. Harness the cows to the cart and take their calves from them back to their stalls.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:9 - But keep an eye on it. If it should go up by the way of its own border to Beth Shemesh, then he has brought this great calamity on us. But if that is not the case, then we will know that it was not his hand that struck us; rather, it just happened to us by accident."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:10 - So the men did as instructed. They took two cows that had calves and harnessed them to a cart; they also removed their calves to their stalls.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:12 - Then the cows went directly on the road to Beth Shemesh. They went along, mooing as they went; they turned neither to the right nor to the left. The leaders of the Philistines were walking along behind them all the way to the border of Beth Shemesh.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:6 - After they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. They fasted on that day, and they confessed there, "We have sinned against the LORD." So Samuel led the people of Israel at Mizpah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:7 - When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, the leaders of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the Israelites heard about this, they were afraid of the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:10 - As Samuel was offering burnt offerings, the Philistines approached to do battle with Israel. But on that day the LORD thundered loudly against the Philistines. He caused them to panic, and they were defeated by Israel.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:10 - So Saul said to his servant, "That's a good idea! Come on. Let's go." So they went to the town where the man of God was.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:12 - They replied, "Yes, straight ahead! But hurry now, for he came to the town today, and the people are making a sacrifice at the high place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:13 - When you enter the town, you can find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people won't eat until he arrives, for he must bless the sacrifice. Once that happens, those who have been invited will eat. Now go on up, for this is the time when you can find him!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:14 - So they went up to the town. As they were heading for the middle of the town, Samuel was coming in their direction to go up to the high place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:16 - "At this time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin. You must consecrate him as a leader over my people Israel. He will save my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked with favor on my people. Their cry has reached me!"

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:24 - So the cook picked up the leg and brought it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, "What was kept is now set before you! Eat, for it has been kept for you for this meeting time, from the time I said, 'I have invited the people.'" So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:27 - While they were going down to the edge of town, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead of us." So he did. Samuel then said, "You remain here awhile, so I can inform you of God's message."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:1 - Then Samuel took a small container of olive oil and poured it on Saul's head. Samuel kissed him and said, "The LORD has chosen you to lead his people Israel!

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:3 - "As you continue on from there, you will come to the tall tree of Tabor. At that point three men who are going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One of them will be carrying three young goats, one of them will be carrying three round loaves of bread, and one of them will be carrying a container of wine.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:13 - When Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:17 - Then Samuel called the people together before the LORD at Mizpah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:21 - Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the family of Matri was chosen by lot. At last Saul son of Kish was chosen by lot. But when they looked for him, he was nowhere to be found.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:25 - Then Samuel talked to the people about how the kingship would work. He wrote it all down on a scroll and set it before the LORD. Then Samuel sent all the people away to their homes.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:3 - The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Leave us alone for seven days so that we can send messengers throughout the territory of Israel. If there is no one who can deliver us, we will come out voluntarily to you."

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:9 - They said to the messengers who had come, "Here's what you should say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: 'Tomorrow deliverance will come to you when the sun is fully up.'" When the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh Gilead, they were happy.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:2 - Saul selected for himself three thousand men from Israel. Two thousand of these were with Saul at Micmash and in the hill country of Bethel; the remaining thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. He sent all the rest of the people back home.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:10 - Just when he had finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel appeared on the scene. Saul went out to meet him and to greet him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:11 - But Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul replied, "When I saw that the army had started to abandon me and that you didn't come at the appointed time and that the Philistines had assembled at Micmash,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:12 - I thought, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal and I have not sought the LORD's favor.' So I felt obligated to offer the burnt offering."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:14 - But now your kingdom will not continue! The LORD has sought out for himself a man who is loyal to him and the LORD has appointed him to be leader over his people, for you have not obeyed what the LORD commanded you."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:15 - Then Samuel set out and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. Saul mustered the army that remained with him; there were about six hundred men.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:6 - Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come on, let's go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will intervene for us. Nothing can prevent the LORD from delivering, whether by many or by a few."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:10 - But if they say, 'Come up against us,' we will go up. For in that case the LORD has given them into our hand - it will be a sign to us."

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:12 - Then the men of the garrison said to Jonathan and his armor bearer, "Come on up to us so we can teach you a thing or two!" Then Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up behind me, for the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:21 - The Hebrews who had earlier gone over to the Philistine side joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:22 - When all the Israelites who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, they too pursued them in battle.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:23 - So the LORD delivered Israel that day, and the battle shifted over to Beth Aven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:26 - When the army entered the forest, they saw the honey flowing, but no one ate any of it, for the army was afraid of the oath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:27 - But Jonathan had not heard about the oath his father had made the army take. He extended the end of his staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he ate it, his eyes gleamed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:32 - So the army rushed greedily on the plunder, confiscating sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them right on the ground, and the army ate them blood and all.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:37 - So Saul asked God, "Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:40 - Then he said to all Israel, "You will be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side." The army replied to Saul, "Do whatever you think is best."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:46 - Then Saul stopped chasing the Philistines, and the Philistines went back home.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:47 - After Saul had secured his royal position over Israel, he fought against all their enemies on all sides - the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. In every direction that he turned he was victorious.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:11 - "I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from me and has not done what I told him to do." Samuel became angry and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:12 - Then Samuel got up early to meet Saul the next morning. But Samuel was informed, "Saul has gone to Carmel where he is setting up a monument for himself. Then Samuel left and went down to Gilgal."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:17 - Samuel said, "Is it not true that when you were insignificant in your own eyes, you became head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD chose you as king over Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:18 - The LORD sent you on a campaign saying, 'Go and exterminate those sinful Amalekites! Fight against them until you have destroyed them.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:29 - The Preeminent One of Israel does not go back on his word or change his mind, for he is not a human being who changes his mind."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:34 - Then Samuel went to Ramah, while Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:1 - The LORD said to Samuel, "How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. Fill your horn with olive oil and go! I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:3 - Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you should do. You will anoint for me the one I point out to you."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:4 - Samuel did what the LORD told him. When he arrived in Bethlehem, the elders of the city were afraid to meet him. They said, "Do you come in peace?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:5 - He replied, "Yes, in peace. I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." So he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:7 - But the LORD said to Samuel, "Don't be impressed by his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do. People look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:13 - So Samuel took the horn full of olive oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers. The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day onward. Then Samuel got up and went to Ramah.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:2 - Saul and the Israelite army assembled and camped in the valley of Elah, where they arranged their battle lines to fight against the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:8 - Goliath stood and called to Israel's troops, "Why do you come out to prepare for battle? Am I not the Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man so he may come down to me!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:9 - If he is able to fight with me and strike me down, we will become your servants. But if I prevail against him and strike him down, you will become our servants and will serve us."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:40 - He took his staff in his hand, picked out five smooth stones from the stream, placed them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag, took his sling in hand, and approached the Philistine.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:46 - This very day the LORD will deliver you into my hand! I will strike you down and cut off your head. This day I will give the corpses of the Philistine army to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the land. Then all the land will realize that Israel has a God
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:47 - and all this assembly will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves! For the battle is the LORD's, and he will deliver you into our hand."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:48 - The Philistine drew steadily closer to David to attack him, while David quickly ran toward the battle line to attack the Philistine.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:49 - David reached his hand into the bag and took out a stone. He slung it, striking the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank deeply into his forehead, and he fell down with his face to the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:54 - David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, and he put Goliath's weapons in his tent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:6 - When the men arrived after David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women from all the cities of Israel came out singing and dancing to meet King Saul. They were happy as they played their tambourines and three-stringed instruments.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:21 - Saul said, "I will give her to him so that she may become a snare to him and the hand of the Philistines may be against him." So Saul said to David, "Today is the second time for you to become my son-in-law."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:23 - So Saul's servants spoke these words privately to David. David replied, "Is becoming the king's son-in-law something insignificant to you? I'm just a poor and lightly-esteemed man!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:25 - Saul replied, "Here is what you should say to David: 'There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his enemies.'" (Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:27 - when David, along with his men, went out and struck down two hundred Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so he could become the king's son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:4 - So Jonathan spoke on David's behalf to his father Saul. He said to him, "The king should not sin against his servant David, for he has not sinned against you. On the contrary, his actions have been very beneficial for you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:5 - He risked his life when he struck down the Philistine and the LORD gave all Israel a great victory. When you saw it, you were happy. So why would you sin against innocent blood by putting David to death for no reason?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:10 - Saul tried to nail David to the wall with the spear, but he escaped from Saul's presence and the spear drove into the wall. David escaped quickly that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:11 - Saul sent messengers to David's house to guard it and to kill him in the morning. Then David's wife Michal told him, "If you do not save yourself tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:18 - Now David had run away and escaped. He went to Samuel in Ramah and told him everything that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed at Naioth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:22 - Finally Saul himself went to Ramah. When he arrived at the large cistern that is in Secu, he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" They said, "At Naioth in Ramah."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:23 - So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. The Spirit of God came upon him as well, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:6 - If your father happens to miss me, you should say, 'David urgently requested me to let him go to his city Bethlehem, for there is an annual sacrifice there for his entire family.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:8 - You must be loyal to your servant, for you have made a covenant with your servant in the LORD's name. If I am guilty, you yourself kill me! Why bother taking me to your father?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:9 - Jonathan said, "Far be it from you to suggest this! If I were at all aware that my father had decided to harm you, wouldn't I tell you about it?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:11 - Jonathan said to David, "Come on. Let's go out to the field." When the two of them had gone out into the field,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:12 - Jonathan said to David, "The LORD God of Israel is my witness. I will feel out my father about this time the day after tomorrow. If he is favorably inclined toward David, will I not then send word to you and let you know?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:13 - But if my father intends to do you harm, may the LORD do all this and more to Jonathan, if I don't let you know and send word to you so you can go safely on your way. May the LORD be with you, as he was with my father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:19 - On the third day you should go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself the day this all started. Stay near the stone Ezel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:20 - I will shoot three arrows near it, as though I were shooting at a target.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:28 - Jonathan replied to Saul, "David urgently requested that he be allowed to go to Bethlehem.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:30 - Saul became angry with Jonathan and said to him, "You stupid traitor! Don't I realize that to your own disgrace and to the disgrace of your mother's nakedness you have chosen this son of Jesse?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:35 - The next morning Jonathan, along with a young servant, went out to the field to meet David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:40 - Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the servant who was with him. He said to him, "Go, take these things back to the city."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:42 - Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn together in the name of the LORD saying, 'The LORD will be between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.'"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:1 - (21:2) David went to Ahimelech the priest in Nob. Ahimelech was shaking with fear when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you by yourself with no one accompanying you?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:3 - Now what do you have at your disposal? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:5 - David said to the priest, "Certainly women have been kept away from us, just as on previous occasions when I have set out. The soldiers' equipment is holy, even on an ordinary journey. How much more so will they be holy today, along with their equipment!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:15 - Do I have a shortage of fools, that you have brought me this man to display his insanity in front of me? Should this man enter my house?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:1 - So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father's family learned about it, they went down there to him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:3 - Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and mother stay with you until I know what God is going to do for me."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:5 - Then Gad the prophet said to David, "Don't stay in the stronghold. Go to the land of Judah." So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - For all of you have conspired against me! No one informs me when my own son makes an agreement with this son of Jesse! Not one of you feels sorry for me or informs me that my own son has commissioned my own servant to hide in ambush against me, as is the case today!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:9 - But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with the servants of Saul, replied, "I saw this son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:13 - Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and this son of Jesse? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God on his behalf, so that he opposes me and waits in ambush, as is the case today!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:17 - Then the king said to the messengers who were stationed beside him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, for they too have sided with David! They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me." But the king's servants refused to harm the priests of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:18 - Then the king said to Doeg, "You turn and strike down the priests!" So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests. He killed on that day eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:3 - But David's men said to him, "We are afraid while we are still here in Judah! What will it be like if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:4 - So David asked the LORD once again. But again the LORD replied, "Arise, go down to Keilah, for I will give the Philistines into your hand."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:5 - So David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. He took away their cattle and thoroughly defeated them. David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:6 - Now when Abiathar son of Ahimelech had fled to David at Keilah, he had brought with him an ephod.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:7 - When Saul was told that David had come to Keilah, Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he has boxed himself into a corner by entering a city with two barred gates."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:8 - So Saul mustered all his army to go down to Keilah and besiege David and his men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:14 - David stayed in the strongholds that were in the desert and in the hill country of the desert of Ziph. Saul looked for him all the time, but God did not deliver David into his hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:16 - Then Jonathan son of Saul left and went to David at Horesh. He encouraged him through God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:17 - He said to him, "Don't be afraid! For the hand of my father Saul cannot find you. You will rule over Israel, and I will be your second in command. Even my father Saul realizes this."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:18 - When the two of them had made a covenant before the LORD, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:20 - Now at your own discretion, O king, come down. Delivering him into the king's hand will be our responsibility."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:25 - Saul and his men went to look for him. But David was informed and went down to the rock and stayed in the desert of Maon. When Saul heard about it, he pursued David in the desert of Maon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:28 - So Saul stopped pursuing David and went to confront the Philistines. Therefore that place is called Sela Hammahlekoth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:3 - He came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave. Saul went into it to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the recesses of the cave.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 - David's men said to him, "This is the day about which the LORD said to you, 'I will give your enemy into your hand, and you can do to him whatever seems appropriate to you.'" So David got up and quietly cut off an edge of Saul's robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - David restrained his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and started down the road.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:8 - Afterward David got up and went out of the cave. He called out after Saul, "My lord, O king!" When Saul looked behind him, David kneeled down and bowed with his face to the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - Today your own eyes see how the LORD delivered you - this very day - into my hands in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I had pity on you and said, 'I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's chosen one.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn't kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:15 - May the LORD be our judge and arbiter. May he see and arbitrate my case and deliver me from your hands!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:18 - You have explained today how you have treated me well. The LORD delivered me into your hand, but you did not kill me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:22 - David promised Saul this on oath. Then Saul went to his house, and David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:1 - Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned him. They buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David left and went down to the desert of Paran.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:5 - he sent ten servants, saying to them, "Go up to Carmel to see Nabal and give him greetings in my name.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:6 - Then you will say to my brother, "Peace to you and your house! Peace to all that is yours!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:12 - So David's servants went on their way. When they had returned, they came and told David all these things.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:17 - Now be aware of this, and see what you can do. For disaster has been planned for our lord and his entire household. He is such a wicked person that no one tells him anything!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:20 - Riding on her donkey, she went down under cover of the mountain. David and his men were coming down to meet her, and she encountered them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:21 - Now David had been thinking, "In vain I guarded everything that belonged to this man in the desert. I didn't take anything from him. But he has repaid my good with evil.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:24 - Falling at his feet, she said, "My lord, I accept all the guilt! But please let your female servant speak with my lord! Please listen to the words of your servant!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:26 - "Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and as surely as you live, it is the LORD who has kept you from shedding blood and taking matters into your own hands. Now may your enemies and those who seek to harm my lord be like Nabal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:30 - The LORD will do for my lord everything that he promised you, and he will make you a leader over Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:32 - Then David said to Abigail, "Praised be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent you this day to meet me!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:33 - Praised be your good judgment! May you yourself be rewarded for having prevented me this day from shedding blood and taking matters into my own hands!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:34 - Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives - he who has prevented me from harming you - if you had not come so quickly to meet me, by morning's light not even one male belonging to Nabal would have remained alive!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:35 - Then David took from her hand what she had brought to him. He said to her, "Go back to your home in peace. Be assured that I have listened to you and responded favorably."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:39 - When David heard that Nabal had died, he said, "Praised be the LORD who has vindicated me and avenged the insult that I suffered from Nabal! The LORD has kept his servant from doing evil, and he has repaid Nabal for his evil deeds." Then David sent word to Abigail and asked her to become his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:40 - So the servants of David went to Abigail at Carmel and said to her, "David has sent us to you to bring you back to be his wife."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:41 - She arose, bowed her face toward the ground, and said, "Your female servant, like a lowly servant, will wash the feet of the servants of my lord."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:42 - Then Abigail quickly went and mounted her donkey, with five of her female servants accompanying her. She followed David's messengers and became his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:1 - The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said, "Isn't David hiding on the hill of Hakilah near Jeshimon?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:2 - So Saul arose and went down to the desert of Ziph, accompanied by three thousand select men of Israel, to look for David in the desert of Ziph.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:3 - Saul camped by the road on the hill of Hakilah near Jeshimon, but David was staying in the desert. When he realized that Saul had come to the desert to find him,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:5 - So David set out and went to the place where Saul was camped. David saw the place where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the general in command of his army, were sleeping. Now Saul was lying in the entrenchment, and the army was camped all around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:6 - David said to Ahimelech the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" Abishai replied, "I will go down with you."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:7 - So David and Abishai approached the army at night and found Saul lying asleep in the entrenchment with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. Abner and the army were lying all around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:8 - Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me drive the spear right through him into the ground with one swift jab! A second jab won't be necessary!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:10 - David went on to say, "As the LORD lives, the LORD himself will strike him down. Either his day will come and he will die, or he will go down into battle and be swept away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:13 - Then David crossed to the other side and stood on the top of the hill some distance away; there was a considerable distance between them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 - The LORD rewards each man for his integrity and loyalty. Even though today the LORD delivered you into my hand, I was not willing to extend my hand against the LORD's chosen one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:25 - Saul replied to David, "May you be rewarded, my son David! You will without question be successful!" So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:1 - David thought to himself, "One of these days I'm going to be swept away by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me through all the territory of Israel and I will escape from his hand."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:4 - When Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he did not mount a new search for him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:11 - Neither man nor woman would David leave alive so as to bring them back to Gath. He was thinking, "This way they can't tell on us, saying, 'This is what David did.'" Such was his practice the entire time that he lived in the country of the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:12 - So Achish trusted David, thinking to himself, "He is really hated among his own people in Israel! From now on he will be my servant."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:1 - In those days the Philistines gathered their troops for war in order to fight Israel. Achish said to David, "You should fully understand that you and your men must go with me into the battle."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:4 - The Philistines assembled; they came and camped at Shunem. Saul mustered all Israel and camped at Gilboa.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:19 - The LORD will hand you and Israel over to the Philistines! Tomorrow both you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also hand the army of Israel over to the Philistines!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:1 - The Philistines assembled all their troops at Aphek, while Israel camped at the spring that is in Jezreel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:2 - When the leaders of the Philistines were passing in review at the head of their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were passing in review in the rear with Achish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:4 - But the leaders of the Philistines became angry with him and said to him, "Send the man back! Let him return to the place that you assigned him! Don't let him go down with us into the battle, for he might become our adversary in the battle. What better way to please his lord than with the heads of these men?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:7 - So turn and leave in peace. You must not do anything that the leaders of the Philistines consider improper!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:9 - Achish replied to David, "I am convinced that you are as reliable as the angel of God! However, the leaders of the Philistines have said, 'He must not go up with us in the battle.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:10 - So get up early in the morning along with the servants of your lord who have come with you. When you get up early in the morning, as soon as it is light enough to see, leave."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:1 - On the third day David and his men came to Ziklag. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They attacked Ziklag and burned it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:2 - They took captive the women who were in it, from the youngest to the oldest, but they did not kill anyone. They simply carried them off and went on their way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:3 - When David and his men came to the city, they found it burned. Their wives, sons, and daughters had been taken captive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:15 - David said to him, "Can you take us down to this raiding party?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to this raiding party."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:21 - Then David approached the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to go with him, those whom they had left at the Wadi Besor. They went out to meet David and the people who were with him. When David approached the people, he asked how they were doing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:23 - But David said, "No! You shouldn't do this, my brothers. Look at what the LORD has given us! He has protected us and has delivered into our hands the raiding party that came against us.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:24 - Who will listen to you in this matter? The portion of the one who went down into the battle will be the same as the portion of the one who remained with the equipment! Let their portions be the same!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:25 - From that time onward it was a binding ordinance for Israel, right up to the present time.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:26 - When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah who were his friends, saying, "Here's a gift for you from the looting of the LORD's enemies!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:31 - and Hebron; and for those in whatever other places David and his men had traveled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:3 - Saul himself was in the thick of the battle; the archers spotted him and wounded him severely.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:9 - They cut off Saul's head and stripped him of his armor. They sent messengers to announce the news in the temple of their idols and among their people throughout the surrounding land of the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:10 - They placed Saul's armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his corpse on the city wall of Beth Shan.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:12 - all their warriors set out and traveled throughout the night. They took Saul's corpse and the corpses of his sons from the city wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:22 - From the blood of the slain, from the fat of warriors, the bow of Jonathan was not turned away. The sword of Saul never returned empty.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:1 - Afterward David inquired of the LORD, "Should I go up to one of the cities of Judah?" The LORD told him, "Go up." David asked, "Where should I go?" The LORD replied, "To Hebron."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:2 - So David went up, along with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail, formerly the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:7 - Now be courageous and prove to be valiant warriors, for your lord Saul is dead. The people of Judah have anointed me as king over them."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:8 - Now Abner son of Ner, the general in command of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth and had brought him to Mahanaim.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:12 - Then Abner son of Ner and the servants of Ish-bosheth son of Saul went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:16 - As they grappled with one another, each one stabbed his opponent with his sword and they fell dead together. So that place is called the Field of Flints; it is in Gibeon.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:19 - Asahel chased Abner, without turning to the right or to the left as he followed Abner.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:20 - Then Abner turned and asked, "Is that you, Asahel?" He replied, "Yes it is!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:21 - Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right or to your left. Capture one of the soldiers and take his equipment for yourself!" But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:22 - So Abner spoke again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me! I do not want to strike you to the ground. How then could I show my face in the presence of Joab your brother?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:25 - The Benjaminites formed their ranks behind Abner and were like a single army, standing at the top of a certain hill.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:26 - Then Abner called out to Joab, "Must the sword devour forever? Don't you realize that this will turn bitter in the end? When will you tell the people to turn aside from pursuing their brothers?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:29 - Abner and his men went through the Arabah all that night. They crossed the Jordan River and went through the whole region of Bitron and came to Mahanaim.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:8 - These words of Ish-bosheth really angered Abner and he said, "Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah? This very day I am demonstrating loyalty to the house of Saul your father and to his relatives and his friends! I have not betrayed you into the hand of David. Yet you have accused me of sinning with this woman today!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:12 - Then Abner sent messengers to David saying, "To whom does the land belong? Make an agreement with me, and I will do whatever I can to cause all Israel to turn to you."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:19 - Then Abner spoke privately with the Benjaminites. Abner also went to Hebron to inform David privately of all that Israel and the entire house of Benjamin had agreed to.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:20 - When Abner, accompanied by twenty men, came to David in Hebron, David prepared a banquet for Abner and the men who were with him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:22 - Now David's soldiers and Joab were coming back from a raid, bringing a great deal of plunder with them. Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for David had sent him away and he had left in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:27 - When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gate as if to speak privately with him. Joab then stabbed him in the abdomen and killed him, avenging the shed blood of his brother Asahel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:32 - So they buried Abner in Hebron. The king cried loudly over Abner's grave and all the people wept too.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:3 - for the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have remained there as resident foreigners until the present time.)
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:5 - Now the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite - Recab and Baanah - went at the hottest part of the day to the home of Ish-bosheth, as he was enjoying his midday rest.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:7 - They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was resting on his bed in his bedroom. They mortally wounded him and then cut off his head. Taking his head, they traveled on the way of the Arabah all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 4:8 - They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, saying to the king, "Look! The head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life! The LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king this day against Saul and his descendants!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:1 - All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron saying, "Look, we are your very flesh and blood!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:2 - In the past, when Saul was our king, you were the real leader in Israel. The LORD said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel; you will rule over Israel.'"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:3 - When all the leaders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the LORD. They designated David as king over Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:6 - Then the king and his men advanced to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who lived in the land. The Jebusites said to David, "You cannot invade this place! Even the blind and the lame will turn you back, saying, 'David cannot invade this place!'"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:8 - David said on that day, "Whoever attacks the Jebusites must approach the 'lame' and the 'blind' who are David's enemies by going through the water tunnel." For this reason it is said, "The blind and the lame cannot enter the palace."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:12 - David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and that he had elevated his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:17 - When the Philistines heard that David had been designated king over Israel, they all went up to search for David. When David heard about it, he went down to the fortress.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:18 - Now the Philistines had arrived and spread out in the valley of Rephaim.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:19 - So David asked the LORD, "Should I march up against the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?" The LORD said to David, "March up, for I will indeed hand the Philistines over to you."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:23 - So David asked the LORD what he should do. This time the LORD said to him, "Don't march straight up. Instead, circle around behind them and come against them opposite the trees.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:10 - So David was no longer willing to bring the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. David left it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:11 - The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months. The LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his family.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:12 - David was told, "The LORD has blessed the family of Obed-Edom and everything he owns because of the ark of God." So David went and joyfully brought the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:17 - They brought the ark of the LORD and put it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:19 - He then handed out to each member of the entire assembly of Israel, both men and women, a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. Then all the people went home.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:20 - When David went home to pronounce a blessing on his own house, Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to meet him. She said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself this day! He has exposed himself today before his servants' slave girls the way a vulgar fool might do!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:21 - David replied to Michal, "It was before the LORD! I was celebrating before the LORD, who chose me over your father and his entire family and appointed me as leader over the LORD's people Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:8 - "So now, say this to my servant David: 'This is what the LORD of hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd to make you leader of my people Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:13 - He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:14 - I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:16 - Your house and your kingdom will stand before me permanently; your dynasty will be permanent.'"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:19 - And you didn't stop there, O LORD God! You have also spoken about the future of your servant's family. Is this your usual way of dealing with men, O LORD God?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:24 - You made Israel your very own people for all time. You, O LORD, became their God.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:29 - Now be willing to bless your servant's dynasty so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O sovereign LORD, have spoken. By your blessing may your servant's dynasty be blessed on into the future!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 8:2 - He defeated the Moabites. He made them lie on the ground and then used a rope to measure them off. He put two-thirds of them to death and spared the other third. The Moabites became David's subjects and brought tribute.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 8:6 - David placed garrisons in the territory of the Arameans of Damascus; the Arameans became David's subjects and brought tribute. The LORD protected David wherever he campaigned.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 8:7 - David took the golden shields that belonged to Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 8:10 - he sent his son Joram to King David to extend his best wishes and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Toi had been at war with Hadadezer. He brought with him various items made of silver, gold, and bronze.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 8:13 - David became famous when he returned from defeating the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, he defeated 18,000 in all.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:2 - David said, "I will express my loyalty to Hanun son of Nahash just as his father was loyal to me." So David sent his servants with a message expressing sympathy over his father's death. When David's servants entered the land of the Ammonites,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:5 - Messengers told David what had happened, so he summoned them, for the men were thoroughly humiliated. The king said, "Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown again; then you may come back."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:11 - Joab said, "If the Arameans start to overpower me, you come to my rescue. If the Ammonites start to overpower you, I will come to your rescue.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:13 - So Joab and his men marched out to do battle with the Arameans, and they fled before him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:14 - When the Ammonites saw the Arameans flee, they fled before his brother Abishai and went into the city. Joab withdrew from fighting the Ammonites and returned to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 10:17 - When David was informed, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan River, and came to Helam. The Arameans deployed their forces against David and fought with him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:1 - In the spring of the year, at the time when kings normally conduct wars, David sent out Joab with his officers and the entire Israelite army. They defeated the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed behind in Jerusalem.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:9 - But Uriah stayed at the door of the palace with all the servants of his lord. He did not go down to his house.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:10 - So they informed David, "Uriah has not gone down to his house." So David said to Uriah, "Haven't you just arrived from a journey? Why haven't you gone down to your house?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:11 - Uriah replied to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah reside in temporary shelters, and my lord Joab and my lord's soldiers are camping in the open field. Should I go to my house to eat and drink and have marital relations with my wife? As surely as you are alive, I will not do this thing!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:13 - Then David summoned him. He ate and drank with him, and got him drunk. But in the evening he went out to sleep on his bed with the servants of his lord; he did not go down to his own house.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:16 - So as Joab kept watch on the city, he stationed Uriah at the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:27 - When the time of mourning passed, David had her brought to his palace. She became his wife and she bore him a son. But what David had done upset the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:7 - Nathan said to David, "You are that man! This is what the LORD God of Israel says: 'I chose you to be king over Israel and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:9 - Why have you shown contempt for the word of the LORD by doing evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and you have taken his wife as your own! You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:10 - So now the sword will never depart from your house. For you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your own!'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:15 - Then Nathan went to his home. The LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David, and the child became very ill.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:20 - So David got up from the ground, bathed, put on oil, and changed his clothes. He went to the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then, when he entered his palace, he requested that food be brought to him, and he ate.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:29 - So David assembled all the army and went to Rabbah and fought against it and captured it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:31 - He removed the people who were in it and made them do hard labor with saws, iron picks, and iron axes, putting them to work at the brick kiln. This was his policy with all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:7 - So David sent Tamar to the house saying, "Please go to the house of Amnon your brother and prepare some food for him."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:8 - So Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, who was lying down. She took the dough, kneaded it, made some cakes while he watched, and baked them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:10 - Then Amnon said to Tamar, "Bring the cakes into the bedroom; then I will eat from your hand." So Tamar took the cakes that she had prepared and brought them to her brother Amnon in the bedroom.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:20 - Her brother Absalom said to her, "Was Amnon your brother with you? Now be quiet, my sister. He is your brother. Don't take it so seriously!" Tamar, devastated, lived in the house of her brother Absalom.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:23 - Two years later Absalom's sheepshearers were in Baal Hazor, near Ephraim. Absalom invited all the king's sons.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:28 - Absalom instructed his servants, "Look! When Amnon is drunk and I say to you, 'Strike Amnon down,' kill him then and there. Don't fear! Is it not I who have given you these instructions? Be strong and courageous!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:37 - But Absalom fled and went to King Talmai son of Ammihud of Geshur. And David grieved over his son every day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:38 - After Absalom fled and went to Geshur, he remained there for three years.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:2 - So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman. He told her, "Pretend to be in mourning and put on garments for mourning. Don't anoint yourself with oil. Instead, act like a woman who has been mourning for the dead for some time.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:4 - So the Tekoan woman went to the king. She bowed down with her face to the ground in deference to him and said, "Please help me, O king!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:8 - Then the king told the woman, "Go to your home. I will give instructions concerning your situation."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:17 - So your servant said, 'May the word of my lord the king be my security, for my lord the king is like the angel of God when it comes to deciding between right and wrong! May the LORD your God be with you!'"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:19 - The king said, "Did Joab put you up to all of this?" The woman answered, "As surely as you live, my lord the king, there is no deviation to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has said. For your servant Joab gave me instructions. He has put all these words in your servant's mouth.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:23 - So Joab got up and went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:24 - But the king said, "Let him go over to his own house. He may not see my face." So Absalom went over to his own house; he did not see the king's face.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:26 - When he would shave his head - at the end of every year he used to shave his head, for it grew too long and he would shave it - he used to weigh the hair of his head at three pounds according to the king's weight.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:31 - Then Joab got up and came to Absalom's house. He said to him, "Why did your servants set my portion of field on fire?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:2 - Now Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road that led to the city gate. Whenever anyone came by who had a complaint to bring to the king for arbitration, Absalom would call out to him, "What city are you from?" The person would answer, "I, your servant, am from one of the tribes of Israel."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:6 - Absalom acted this way toward everyone in Israel who came to the king for justice. In this way Absalom won the loyalty of the citizens of Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:8 - For I made this vow when I was living in Geshur in Aram: 'If the LORD really does allow me to return to Jerusalem, I will serve the LORD.'"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:9 - The king replied to him, "Go in peace." So Absalom got up and went to Hebron.
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 is, whether dead or alive, there I will be as well!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:25 - Then the king said to Zadok, "Take the ark of God back to the city. If I find favor in the LORD's sight he will bring me back and enable me to see both it and his dwelling place again.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:27 - The king said to Zadok the priest, "Are you a seer? Go back to the city in peace! Your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar's son Jonathan may go with you and Abiathar.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:29 - So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem and remained there.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:32 - When David reached the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Arkite met him with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:34 - But you will be able to counter the advice of Ahithophel if you go back to the city and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king! Previously I was your father's servant, and now I will be your servant.'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:37 - So David's friend Hushai arrived in the city, just as Absalom was entering Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:1 - When David had gone a short way beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a couple of donkeys that were saddled, and on them were two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred raisin cakes, a hundred baskets of summer fruit, and a container of wine.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:2 - The king asked Ziba, "Why did you bring these things?" Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's family to ride on, the loaves of bread and the summer fruit are for the attendants to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:15 - Now when Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, Ahithophel was with him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:11 - My advice therefore is this: Let all Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba - in number like the sand by the sea! - be mustered to you, and you lead them personally into battle.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:12 - We will come against him wherever he happens to be found. We will descend on him like the dew falls on the ground. Neither he nor any of the men who are with him will be spared alive - not one of them!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:13 - If he regroups in a city, all Israel will take up ropes to that city and drag it down to the valley, so that not a single pebble will be left there!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:17 - Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying in En Rogel. A female servant would go and inform them, and they would then go and inform King David. It was not advisable for them to be seen going into the city.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:18 - But a young man saw them on one occasion and informed Absalom. So the two of them quickly departed and went to the house of a man in Bahurim. There was a well in his courtyard, and they got down in it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:20 - When the servants of Absalom approached the woman at her home, they asked, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" The woman replied to them, "They crossed over the stream." Absalom's men searched but did not find them, so they returned to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:23 - When Ahithophel realized that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and returned to his house in his hometown. After setting his household in order, he hanged himself. So he died and was buried in the grave of his father.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:24 - Meanwhile David had gone to Mahanaim, while Absalom and all the men of Israel had crossed the Jordan River.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:26 - The army of Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:27 - When David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, Makir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:4 - Then the king said to them, "I will do whatever seems best to you." So the king stayed beside the city gate, while all the army marched out by hundreds and by thousands.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:6 - Then the army marched out to the field to fight against Israel. The battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:11 - Joab replied to the man who was telling him this, "What! You saw this? Why didn't you strike him down right on the spot? I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a commemorative belt!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:17 - They took Absalom, threw him into a large pit in the forest, and stacked a huge pile of stones over him. In the meantime all the Israelite soldiers fled to their homes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:22 - Ahimaaz the son of Zadok again spoke to Joab, "Whatever happens, let me go after the Cushite." But Joab said, "Why is it that you want to go, my son? You have no good news that will bring you a reward."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:24 - Now David was sitting between the inner and outer gates, and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate at the wall. When he looked, he saw a man running by himself.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:27 - The watchman said, "It appears to me that the first runner is Ahimaaz son of Zadok." The king said, "He is a good man, and he comes with good news."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:32 - The king asked the Cushite, "How is the young man Absalom?" The Cushite replied, "May the enemies of my lord the king and all who have plotted against you be like that young man!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:33 - (19:1) The king then became very upset. He went up to the upper room over the gate and wept. As he went he said, "My son, Absalom! My son, my son, Absalom! If only I could have died in your place! Absalom, my son, my son!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:2 - So the victory of that day was turned to mourning as far as all the people were concerned. For the people heard on that day, "The king is grieved over his son."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:3 - That day the people stole away to go to the city the way people who are embarrassed steal away in fleeing from battle.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:5 - So Joab visited the king at his home. He said, "Today you have embarrassed all your servants who have saved your life this day, as well as the lives of your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your concubines.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:7 - So get up now and go out and give some encouragement to your servants. For I swear by the LORD that if you don't go out there, not a single man will stay here with you tonight! This disaster will be worse for you than any disaster that has overtaken you from your youth right to the present time!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:8 - So the king got up and sat at the city gate. When all the people were informed that the king was sitting at the city gate, they all came before him. But the Israelite soldiers had all fled to their own homes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:11 - Then King David sent a message to Zadok and Abiathar the priests saying, "Tell the elders of Judah, 'Why should you delay any further in bringing the king back to his palace, when everything Israel is saying has come to the king's attention.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:12 - You are my brothers - my very own flesh and blood! Why should you delay any further in bringing the king back?'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:15 - So the king returned and came to the Jordan River. Now the people of Judah had come to Gilgal to meet the king and to help him cross the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:16 - Shimei son of Gera the Benjaminite from Bahurim came down quickly with the men of Judah to meet King David.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:19 - He said to the king, "Don't think badly of me, my lord, and don't recall the sin of your servant on the day when you, my lord the king, left Jerusalem! Please don't call it to mind!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:20 - For I, your servant, know that I sinned, and I have come today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:22 - But David said, "What do we have in common, you sons of Zeruiah? You are like my enemy today! Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don't you realize that today I am king over Israel?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:24 - Now Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson, came down to meet the king. From the day the king had left until the day he safely returned, Mephibosheth had not cared for his feet nor trimmed his mustache nor washed his clothes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:25 - When he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, "Why didn't you go with me, Mephibosheth?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:30 - Mephibosheth said to the king, "Let him have the whole thing! My lord the king has returned safely to his house!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:34 - Barzillai replied to the king, "How many days do I have left to my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:35 - I am presently eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I continue to be a burden to my lord the king?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:39 - So all the people crossed the Jordan, as did the king. After the king had kissed him and blessed him, Barzillai returned to his home.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:40 - When the king crossed over to Gilgal, Kimham crossed over with him. Now all the soldiers of Judah along with half of the soldiers of Israel had helped the king cross over.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:1 - Now a wicked man named Sheba son of Bicri, a Benjaminite, happened to be there. He blew the trumpet and said, "We have no share in David; we have no inheritance in this son of Jesse! Every man go home, O Israel!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:3 - Then David went to his palace in Jerusalem. The king took the ten concubines he had left to care for the palace and placed them under confinement. Though he provided for their needs, he did not have sexual relations with them. They remained in confinement until the day they died, living out the rest of their lives as widows.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:10 - Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab's other hand, and Joab stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa's intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:12 - Amasa was squirming in his own blood in the middle of the path, and this man had noticed that all the soldiers stopped. Having noticed that everyone who came across Amasa stopped, the man pulled him away from the path and into the field and threw a garment over him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:14 - Sheba traveled through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah and all the Berite region. When they had assembled, they too joined him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:22 - Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice and they cut off Sheba's head and threw it out to Joab. Joab blew the trumpet, and his men dispersed from the city, each going to his own home. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 21:17 - But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to David's aid, striking the Philistine down and killing him. Then David's men took an oath saying, "You will not go out to battle with us again! You must not extinguish the lamp of Israel!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 22:20 - He brought me out into a wide open place; he delivered me because he was pleased with me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 22:35 - He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend even the strongest bow.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 22:37 - You widen my path; my feet do not slip.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 22:40 - You give me strength for battle; you make my foes kneel before me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 22:44 - You rescue me from a hostile army; you preserve me as a leader of nations; people over whom I had no authority are now my subjects.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 22:45 - Foreigners are powerless before me; when they hear of my exploits, they submit to me.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 23:8 - These are the names of David's warriors: Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, was head of the officers. He killed eight hundred men with his spear in one battle.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 23:9 - Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo, the son of Ahohi. He was one of the three warriors who were with David when they defied the Philistines who were assembled there for battle. When the men of Israel retreated,

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 23:23 - He received honor from the thirty warriors, though he was not one of the three elite warriors. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 24:4 - But the king's edict stood, despite the objections of Joab and the leaders of the army. So Joab and the leaders of the army left the king's presence in order to muster the Israelite army.

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 13:10 - I also discovered that the grain offerings for the Levites had not been provided, and that as a result the Levites and the singers who performed this work had all gone off to their fields.

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 13:15 - In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath, bringing in heaps of grain and loading them onto donkeys, along with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of loads, and bringing them to Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 13:26 - Was it not because of things like these that King Solomon of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. But the foreign wives made even him sin!

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:7 - Now he was acting as the guardian of Hadassah (that is, Esther), the daughter of his uncle, for neither her father nor her mother was alive.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:8 - It so happened that when the king's edict and his law became known many young women were taken to Susa the citadel to be placed under the authority of Hegai. Esther also was taken to the royal palace to be under the authority of Hegai, who was overseeing the women.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:9 - If the king is so inclined, let an edict be issued to destroy them. I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to be conveyed to the king's treasuries for the officials who carry out this business."

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:14 - A copy of this edict was to be presented as law throughout every province; it was to be made known to all the inhabitants, so that they would be prepared for this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:15 - The messengers scurried forth with the king's order. The edict was issued in Susa the citadel. While the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in an uproar!

Now I have not been invited to come to the king for some thirty days!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:14 - "Don't imagine that because you are part of the king's household you will be the one Jew who will escape. If you keep quiet at this time, liberation and protection for the Jews will appear from another source, while you and your father's household perish. It may very well be that you have achieved royal status for such a time as this!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:1 - It so happened that on the third day Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace, opposite the king's quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the palace, opposite the entrance.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:5 - The king replied, "Find Haman quickly so that we can do as Esther requests." So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:8 - If I have found favor in the king's sight and if the king is inclined to grant my request and perform my petition, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet that I will prepare for them. At that time I will do as the king wishes.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:14 - Haman's wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Have a gallows seventy-five feet high built, and in the morning tell the king that Mordecai should be hanged on it. Then go with the king to the banquet contented." It seemed like a good idea to Haman, so he had the gallows built.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:12 - Then Mordecai again sat at the king's gate, while Haman hurried away to his home, mournful and with a veil over his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:4 - For we have been sold - both I and my people - to destruction and to slaughter and to annihilation! If we had simply been sold as male and female slaves, I would have remained silent, for such distress would not have been sufficient for troubling the king."
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:7 - In rage the king arose from the banquet of wine and withdrew to the palace garden. Meanwhile, Haman stood to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king had now determined a catastrophic end for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:13 - A copy of the edict was to be presented as law throughout each and every province and made known to all peoples, so that the Jews might be prepared on that day to avenge themselves from their enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:20 - Mordecai wrote these matters down and sent letters to all the Jews who were throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:22 - as the time when the Jews gave themselves rest from their enemies - the month when their trouble was turned to happiness and their mourning to a holiday. These were to be days of banqueting, happiness, sending gifts to one another, and providing for the poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:28 - These days were to be remembered and to be celebrated in every generation and in every family, every province, and every city. The Jews were not to fail to observe these days of Purim; the remembrance of them was not to cease among their descendants.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:32 - Esther's command established these matters of Purim, and the matter was officially recorded.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 10:2 - Now all the actions carried out under his authority and his great achievements, along with an exact statement concerning the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king promoted, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:4 - That day - let it be darkness; let not God on high regard it, nor let light shine on it!

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 2:34 - You were watching as a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its iron and clay feet, breaking them in pieces.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 2:35 - Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 2:44 - In the days of those kings the God of heaven will raise up an everlasting kingdom that will not be destroyed and a kingdom that will not be left to another people. It will break in pieces and bring about the demise of all these kingdoms. But it will stand forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:2 - Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent out a summons to assemble the satraps, prefects, governors, counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the other authorities of the province to attend the dedication of the statue that he had erected.

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:9 - They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, "O king, live forever!
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:11 - And whoever does not bow down and pay homage must be thrown into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:15 - Now if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must bow down and pay homage to the statue that I had made. If you don't pay homage to it, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. Now, who is that god who can rescue you from my power?"
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:19 - Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and his disposition changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He gave orders to heat the furnace seven times hotter than it was normally heated.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:20 - He ordered strong soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the furnace of blazing fire.

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:24 - Then King Nebuchadnezzar was startled and quickly got up. He said to his ministers, "Wasn't it three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?" They replied to the king, "For sure, O king."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:28 - Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, "Praised be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent forth his angel and has rescued his servants who trusted in him, ignoring the edict of the king and giving up their bodies rather than serve or pay homage to any god other than their God!
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 3:29 - I hereby decree that any people, nation, or language group that blasphemes the god of Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego will be dismembered and his home reduced to rubble! For there exists no other god who can deliver in this way."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:3 - "How great are his signs! How mighty are his wonders! His kingdom will last forever, and his authority continues from one generation to the next."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:11 - The tree grew large and strong. Its top reached far into the sky; it could be seen from the borders of all the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:20 - The tree that you saw that grew large and strong, whose top reached to the sky, and which could be seen in all the land,
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:22 - it is you, O king! For you have become great and strong. Your greatness is such that it reaches to heaven, and your authority to the ends of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:30 - The king uttered these words: "Is this not the great Babylon that I have built for a royal residence by my own mighty strength and for my majestic honor?"
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:34 - But at the end of the appointed time I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven, and my sanity returned to me. I extolled the Most High, and I praised and glorified the one who lives forever. For his authority is an everlasting authority, and his kingdom extends from one generation to the next.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:36 - At that time my sanity returned to me. I was restored to the honor of my kingdom, and my splendor returned to me. My ministers and my nobles were seeking me out, and I was reinstated over my kingdom. I became even greater than before.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 5:10 - Due to the noise caused by the king and his nobles, the queen mother then entered the banquet room. She said, "O king, live forever! Don't be alarmed! Don't be shaken!
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:6 - So these supervisors and satraps came by collusion to the king and said to him, "O King Darius, live forever!
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:7 - To all the supervisors of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, counselors, and governors it seemed like a good idea for a royal edict to be issued and an interdict to be enforced. For the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than you, O king, should be thrown into a den of lions.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:10 - When Daniel realized that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. Three times daily he was kneeling and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:12 - So they approached the king and said to him, "Did you not issue an edict to the effect that for the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than to you, O king, would be thrown into a den of lions?" The king replied, "That is correct, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:16 - So the king gave the order, and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den of lions. The king consoled Daniel by saying, "Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:18 - Then the king departed to his palace. But he spent the night without eating, and no diversions were brought to him. He was unable to sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:21 - Then Daniel spoke to the king, "O king, live forever!
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:24 - The king gave another order, and those men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the lions' den - they, their children, and their wives. They did not even reach the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 6:26 - I have issued an edict that throughout all the dominion of my kingdom people are to revere and fear the God of Daniel. "For he is the living God; he endures forever. His kingdom will not be destroyed; his authority is forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 7:2 - Daniel explained: "I was watching in my vision during the night as the four winds of the sky were stirring up the great sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 7:5 - "Then a second beast appeared, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and devour much flesh!'
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 7:11 - "Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into the flaming fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:8 - The male goat acted even more arrogantly. But no sooner had the large horn become strong than it was broken, and there arose four conspicuous horns in its place, extending toward the four winds of the sky.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:17 - So he approached the place where I was standing. As he came, I felt terrified and fell flat on the ground. Then he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision pertains to the time of the end."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:19 - Then he said, "I am going to inform you about what will happen in the latter time of wrath, for the vision pertains to the appointed time of the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:26 - The vision of the evenings and mornings that was told to you is correct. But you should seal up the vision, for it refers to a time many days from now."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 9:2 - in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, came to understand from the sacred books that, according to the word of the LORD disclosed to the prophet Jeremiah, the years for the fulfilling of the desolation of Jerusalem were seventy in number.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 9:16 - O Lord, according to all your justice, please turn your raging anger away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain. For due to our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors, Jerusalem and your people are mocked by all our neighbors.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 10:3 - I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, nor did I anoint myself with oil until the end of those three weeks.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 10:8 - I alone was left to see this great vision. My strength drained from me, and my vigor disappeared; I was without energy.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 10:14 - Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to future days."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:1 - And in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood to strengthen him and to provide protection for him.)
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:4 - Shortly after his rise to power, his kingdom will be broken up and distributed toward the four winds of the sky - but not to his posterity or with the authority he exercised, for his kingdom will be uprooted and distributed to others besides these.

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:13 - For the king of the north will again muster an army, one larger than before. At the end of some years he will advance with a huge army and enormous supplies.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:18 - Then he will turn his attention to the coastal regions and will capture many of them. But a commander will bring his shameful conduct to a halt; in addition, he will make him pay for his shameful conduct.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:19 - He will then turn his attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, not to be found again.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:27 - These two kings, their minds filled with evil intentions, will trade lies with one another at the same table. But it will not succeed, for there is still an end at the appointed time.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:28 - Then the king of the north will return to his own land with much property. His mind will be set against the holy covenant. He will take action, and then return to his own land.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:29 - At an appointed time he will again invade the south, but this latter visit will not turn out the way the former one did.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:33 - These who are wise among the people will teach the masses. However, they will fall by the sword and by the flame, and they will be imprisoned and plundered for some time.

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:36 - "Then the king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every deity and he will utter presumptuous things against the God of gods. He will succeed until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been decreed must occur.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:40 - "At the time of the end the king of the south will attack him. Then the king of the north will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and a large armada of ships. He will invade lands, passing through them like an overflowing river.

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:42 - He will extend his power against other lands; the land of Egypt will not escape.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 11:45 - He will pitch his royal tents between the seas toward the beautiful holy mountain. But he will come to his end, with no one to help him.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 12:2 - Many of those who sleep in the dusty ground will awake - some to everlasting life, and others to shame and everlasting abhorrence.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 12:3 - But the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavenly expanse. And those bringing many to righteousness will be like the stars forever and ever.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 12:7 - Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky and made an oath by the one who lives forever: "It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished."
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 12:12 - Blessed is the one who waits and attains to the 1,335 days.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 8:11 - Although Ephraim has built many altars for sin offerings, these have become altars for sinning!
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 8:12 - I spelled out my law for him in great detail, but they regard it as something totally unknown to them!
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 8:13 - They offer up sacrificial gifts to me, and eat the meat, but the LORD does not accept their sacrifices. Soon he will remember their wrongdoing, he will punish their sins, and they will return to Egypt.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:4 - They will not pour out drink offerings of wine to the LORD; they will not please him with their sacrifices.

For their bread will be only to satisfy their appetite; it will not come into the temple of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:10 - When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness. I viewed your ancestors like an early fig on a fig tree in its first season. Then they came to Baal-Peor and they dedicated themselves to shame - they became as detestable as what they loved.
