Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:20 - And Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she called his name Zebulun.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:32 - “Let me pass through all your flock today, removing from there all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and these shall be my wages.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:33 - “So my righteousness will answer for me in time to come, when the subject of my wages comes before you: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, will be considered stolen, if it is with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:35 - So he removed that day the male goats that were speckled and spotted, all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:38 - And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:40 - Then Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; but he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laban's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:41 - And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:6 - “And you know that with all my might I have served your father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:10 - “And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:13 - ‘I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:14 - Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there still any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:18 - And he carried away all his livestock and all his possessions which he had gained, his acquired livestock which he had gained in Padan Aram, to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:23 - Then he took his brethren with him and pursued him for seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the mountains of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - So Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountains, and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountains of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:33 - And Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the two maids' tents, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah's tent and entered Rachel's tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:35 - And she said to her father, “Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is with me.” And he searched but did not find the household idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:41 - “Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:54 - Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread. And they ate bread and stayed all night on the mountain.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:10 - “I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:19 - So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, “In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:20 - “and also say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us.' ” For he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:2 - And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:14 - “Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:18 - Then Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:7 - And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:10 - “So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:15 - “But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. He was more honorable than all the household of his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:22 - “Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:23 - Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:26 - And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem's house, and went out.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:27 - The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:28 - They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:29 - and all their wealth. All their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:3 - “Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:4 - So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:7 - And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel,[fn] because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:9 - Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:14 - So Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:15 - And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; you will have this son also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni;[fn] but his father called him Benjamin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:19 - So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:26 - and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kirjath Arba[fn] (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:5 - And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:6 - Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:8 - So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:9 - And this is the genealogy of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:16 - Chief Korah,[fn] Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These were the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. They were the sons of Adah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:17 - These were the sons of Reuel, Esau's son: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These were the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau's wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:21 - Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:24 - These were the sons of Zibeon: both Ajah and Anah. This was the Anah who found the water[fn] in the wilderness as he pastured the donkeys of his father Zibeon.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:30 - Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:31 - Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:32 - Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:35 - And when Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:40 - And these were the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alvah,[fn] Chief Jetheth,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:43 - Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Esau was the father of the Edomites.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:7 - “There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:13 - And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” So he said to him, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:15 - Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, “What are you seeking?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - And the man said, “They have departed from here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.' ” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - It came to pass at that time that Judah departed from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father's house till my son Shelah is grown.” For he said, “Lest he also die like his brothers.” And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:14 - So she took off her widow's garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - Then he said, “What pledge shall I give you?” So she said, “Your signet and cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” Then he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - And Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:21 - Then he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry.” So Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the man to whom these belong, I am with child.” And she said, “Please determine whose these are—the signet and cord, and staff.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:27 - Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:2 - The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:9 - There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:12 - that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:13 - And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:14 - that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - “And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:20 - Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:22 - And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:23 - The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's[fn] authority, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:3 - So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:4 - And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:5 - Then the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man's dream in one night and each man's dream with its own interpretation.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:7 - So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in the custody of his lord's house, saying, “Why do you look so sad today?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:9 - Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:10 - “and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:11 - “Then Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:14 - “But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:17 - “In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:2 - Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:5 - He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - “When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:11 - “we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Behold, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:18 - “Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:19 - “Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:22 - “Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven heads came up on one stalk, full and good.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:29 - “Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - “but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:35 - “And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:36 - “Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:38 - And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:47 - Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:48 - So he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:52 - And the name of the second he called Ephraim:[fn] “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:53 - Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:57 - So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:2 - And he said, “Indeed I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that we may live and not die.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:5 - And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:13 - And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and in fact, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:15 - “In this manner you shall be tested: By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:17 - So he put them all together in prison three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:19 - “If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house; but you, go and carry grain for the famine of your houses.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - Then they said to one another, “We are truly guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded with us, and we would not hear; therefore this distress has come upon us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:28 - So he said to his brothers, “My money has been restored, and there it is, in my sack!” Then their hearts failed them and they were afraid, saying to one another, “What is this that God has done to us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:30 - “The man who is lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:32 - ‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is with our father this day in the land of Canaan.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - “Then the man, the lord of the country, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your households, and be gone.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:35 - Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that surprisingly each man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - And their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your vessels and carry down a present for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:12 - “Take double money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:15 - So the men took that present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went down to Egypt; and they stood before Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - Now the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, “It is because of the money, which was returned in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may make a case against us and seize us, to take us as slaves with our donkeys.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - When they drew near to the steward of Joseph's house, they talked with him at the door of the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - “but it happened, when we came to the encampment, that we opened our sacks, and there, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it back in our hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:23 - But he said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:26 - And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:5 - Is not this the one from which my lord drinks, and with which he indeed practices divination? You have done evil in so doing.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:8 - “Look, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:12 - So he searched. He began with the oldest and left off with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:29 - ‘But if you take this one also from me, and calamity befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:31 - “it will happen, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:6 - “For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:10 - “You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children's children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:13 - “So you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:24 - So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, “See that you do not become troubled along the way.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:2 - Then God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:6 - So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:12 - The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:15 - These were the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the persons, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:37 - “look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:7 - Then the LORD said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:8 - So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:9 - It happened on the same night that the LORD said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:11 - “and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men who were in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:12 - Now the Midianites and Amalekites, all the people of the East, were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the seashore in multitude.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:13 - And when Gideon had come, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, “I have had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:14 - Then his companion answered and said, “This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:15 - And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, “Arise, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:17 - And he said to them, “Look at me and do likewise; watch, and when I come to the edge of the camp you shall do as I do:
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:19 - So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just as they had posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:20 - Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers—they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing—and they cried, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:22 - When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia,[fn] toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:24 - Then Gideon sent messengers throughout all the mountains of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.” Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and seized the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 18:19 - And they said to him, “Be quiet, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us; be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 18:20 - So the priest's heart was glad; and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and took his place among the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 18:27 - So they took the things Micah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 18:28 - There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no ties with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs to Beth Rehob. So they rebuilt the city and dwelt there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 18:31 - So they set up for themselves Micah's carved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:1 - And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:11 - They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:13 - So he said to his servant, “Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Gibeah or in Ramah.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:15 - They turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah. And when he went in, he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into his house to spend the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:16 - Just then an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, who also was from the mountains of Ephraim; he was staying in Gibeah, whereas the men of the place were Benjamites.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:17 - And when he raised his eyes, he saw the traveler in the open square of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going, and where do you come from?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:20 - And the old man said, “Peace be with you! However, let all your needs be my responsibility; only do not spend the night in the open square.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 19:24 - “Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man's[fn] concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:2 - And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:6 - “So I took hold of my concubine, cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel, because they committed lewdness and outrage in Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:9 - “but now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up against it by lot.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:10 - “We will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make provisions for the people, that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may repay all the vileness that they have done in Israel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:12 - Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:13 - “Now therefore, deliver up the men, the perverted men[fn] who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!” But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:15 - And from their cities at that time the children of Benjamin numbered twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred select men.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:18 - Then the children of Israel arose and went up to the house of God[fn] to inquire of God. They said, “Which of us shall go up first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” The LORD said, “Judah first!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:21 - Then the children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day cut down to the ground twenty-two thousand men of the Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:22 - And the people, that is, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and again formed the battle line at the place where they had put themselves in array on the first day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:23 - Then the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, “Shall I again draw near for battle against the children of my brother Benjamin?” And the LORD said, “Go up against him.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:25 - And Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah on the second day, and cut down to the ground eighteen thousand more of the children of Israel; all these drew the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:26 - Then all the children of Israel, that is, all the people, went up and came to the house of God[fn] and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:27 - So the children of Israel inquired of the LORD (the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:28 - and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, “Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of my brother Benjamin, or shall I cease?” And the LORD said, “Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:29 - Then Israel set men in ambush all around Gibeah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:30 - And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Gibeah as at the other times.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:31 - So the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down and kill some of the people, as at the other times, in the highways (one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah) and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:33 - So all the men of Israel rose from their place and put themselves in battle array at Baal Tamar. Then Israel's men in ambush burst forth from their position in the plain of Geba.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:35 - The LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel. And the children of Israel destroyed that day twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjamites; all these drew the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:37 - And the men in ambush quickly rushed upon Gibeah; the men in ambush spread out and struck the whole city with the edge of the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:39 - whereupon the men of Israel would turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty of the men of Israel. For they said, “Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:42 - Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and whoever came out of the cities they destroyed in their midst.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:45 - Then they[fn] turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they cut down five thousand of them on the highways. Then they pursued them relentlessly up to Gidom, and killed two thousand of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:46 - So all who fell of Benjamin that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all these were men of valor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:47 - But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they stayed at the rock of Rimmon for four months.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:48 - And the men of Israel turned back against the children of Benjamin, and struck them down with the edge of the sword—from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. They also set fire to all the cities they came to.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:1 - Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, “None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:3 - and said, “O LORD God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:4 - So it was, on the next morning, that the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:5 - The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the LORD?” For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:7 - “What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them our daughters as wives?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:10 - So the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their most valiant men, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, including the women and children.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:12 - So they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man intimately; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:13 - Then the whole congregation sent word to the children of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and announced peace to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:14 - So Benjamin came back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead; and yet they had not found enough for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:15 - And the people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a void in the tribes of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:19 - Then they said, “In fact, there is a yearly feast of the LORD in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:20 - Therefore they instructed the children of Benjamin, saying, “Go, lie in wait in the vineyards,
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:21 - “and watch; and just when the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, then come out from the vineyards, and every man catch a wife for himself from the daughters of Shiloh; then go to the land of Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:22 - “Then it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, ‘Be kind to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, making yourselves guilty of your oath.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:23 - And the children of Benjamin did so; they took enough wives for their number from those who danced, whom they caught. Then they went and returned to their inheritance, and they rebuilt the cities and dwelt in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:24 - So the children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family; they went out from there, every man to his inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:25 - In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:1 - Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:6 - Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the LORD had visited His people by giving them bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:7 - Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:9 - “The LORD grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband.” So she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:11 - But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:13 - “would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:20 - But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi;[fn] call me Mara,[fn] for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 1:22 - So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:2 - So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:3 - Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:7 - “And she said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:8 - Then Boaz said to Ruth, “You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:10 - So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:13 - Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:14 - Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and was satisfied, and kept some back.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:17 - So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:22 - And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 3:4 - “Then it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you should do.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 3:7 - And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 3:8 - Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:5 - Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to perpetuate[fn] the name of the dead through his inheritance.”
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:7 - Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:11 - And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:14 - Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:1 - Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu,[fn] the son of Tohu,[fn] the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:7 - So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:9 - So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle[fn] of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:13 - Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:18 - And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:21 - Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:23 - So Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what seems best to you; wait until you have weaned him. Only let the LORD establish His[fn] word.” Then the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:24 - Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls,[fn] one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was young.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:26 - And she said, “O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:1 - And Hannah prayed and said:

“My heart rejoices in the LORD;
My horn[fn] is exalted in the LORD.
I smile at my enemies,
Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:13 - And the priests' custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:14 - Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:19 - Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:27 - Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:1 - Now the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:2 - And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:3 - and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle[fn] of the LORD where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:8 - And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.” Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:9 - Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears.' ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:11 - Then the LORD said to Samuel: “Behold, I will do something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:12 - “In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:13 - “For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because his sons made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:3 - And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:6 - Now when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the sound of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” Then they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:8 - “Woe to us! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:17 - So the messenger answered and said, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead; and the ark of God has been captured.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:20 - And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Do not fear, for you have borne a son.” But she did not answer, nor did she regard it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:22 - And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:5 - Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:6 - But the hand of the LORD was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and He ravaged them and struck them with tumors,[fn] both Ashdod and its territory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:9 - So it was, after they had carried it away, that the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction; and He struck the men of the city, both small and great, and tumors broke out on them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:11 - So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:1 - Now the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:2 - And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? Tell us how we should send it to its place.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:10 - Then the men did so; they took two milk cows and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:12 - Then the cows headed straight for the road to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:13 - Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:14 - Then the cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there; a large stone was there. So they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:15 - The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the chest that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone. Then the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:18 - and the golden rats, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of the LORD, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:19 - Then He struck the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck fifty thousand and seventy men[fn] of the people, and the people lamented because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:1 - Then the men of Kirjath Jearim came and took the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:2 - So it was that the ark remained in Kirjath Jearim a long time; it was there twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:3 - Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths[fn] from among you, and prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:6 - So they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before the LORD. And they fasted that day, and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:10 - Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 7:16 - He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:2 - The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:3 - But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:5 - and said to him, “Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:6 - But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:11 - And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:18 - “And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the LORD will not hear you in that day.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:2 - And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. There was not a more handsome person than he among the children of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:6 - And he said to him, “Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:8 - And the servant answered Saul again and said, “Look, I have here at hand one-fourth of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:9 - (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: “Come, let us go to the seer”; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:12 - And they answered them and said, “Yes, there he is, just ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he came to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today on the high place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:13 - “As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:17 - So when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said to him, “There he is, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:19 - Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:22 - Now Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall, and had them sit in the place of honor among those who were invited; there were about thirty persons.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:24 - So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, “Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people.” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:25 - When they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the top of the house.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:1 - Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: “Is it not because the LORD has anointed you commander over His inheritance?[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:2 - “When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?” '
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:9 - So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:10 - When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:11 - And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:12 - Then a man from there answered and said, “But who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:22 - Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, “Has the man come here yet?” And the LORD answered, “There he is, hidden among the equipment.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:23 - So they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:24 - And Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” So all the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:25 - Then Samuel explained to the people the behavior of royalty, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:2 - And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, “On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I may put out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:7 - So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, “Whoever does not go out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen.” And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:8 - When he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:11 - So it was, on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and killed Ammonites until the heat of the day. And it happened that those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:13 - But Saul said, “Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished salvation in Israel.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:15 - So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:2 - “And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:5 - Then he said to them, “The LORD is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” And they answered, “He is witness.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:7 - “Now therefore, stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did to you and your fathers:
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:8 - “When Jacob had gone into Egypt,[fn] and your fathers cried out to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:9 - “And when they forgot the LORD their God, He sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:16 - “Now therefore, stand and see this great thing which the LORD will do before your eyes:
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:18 - So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:20 - Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:24 - “Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:2 - Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:3 - And Jonathan attacked the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:4 - Now all Israel heard it said that Saul had attacked a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel had also become an abomination to the Philistines. And the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:5 - Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, thirty[fn] thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:6 - When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:7 - And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:11 - And Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:16 - Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:19 - Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:22 - So it came about, on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:23 - And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:1 - Now it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side.” But he did not tell his father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:2 - And Saul was sitting in the outskirts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron. The people who were with him were about six hundred men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:3 - Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. But the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:6 - Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:14 - That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about half an acre of land.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:15 - And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was a very great trembling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:16 - Now the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and there was the multitude, melting away; and they went here and there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:18 - And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark[fn] of God here” (for at that time the ark[fn] of God was with the children of Israel).
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:19 - Now it happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase; so Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:22 - Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden in the mountains of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:23 - So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle shifted to Beth Aven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:24 - And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:27 - But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; therefore he stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his countenance brightened.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:30 - “How much better if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now would there not have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:31 - Now they had driven back the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. So the people were very faint.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:33 - Then they told Saul, saying, “Look, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood!” So he said, “You have dealt treacherously; roll a large stone to me this day.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:34 - Then Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, ‘Bring me here every man's ox and every man's sheep, slaughter them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.' ” So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slaughtered it there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:36 - Now Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light; and let us not leave a man of them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:37 - So Saul asked counsel of God, “Shall 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 14:38 - And Saul said, “Come over here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:41 - Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, “Give a perfect lot.[fn] So Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people escaped.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:43 - Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan told him, and said, “I only tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. So now I must die!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:45 - But the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:2 - “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:4 - So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:5 - And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:6 - Then Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:8 - He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:14 - But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:18 - “Now the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:20 - And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:21 - “But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:33 - But Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:1 - Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:2 - And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” But the LORD said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:6 - So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, “Surely the LORD's anointed is before Him!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:9 - Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the LORD chosen this one.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:10 - Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not chosen these.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:11 - And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not sit down[fn] till he comes here.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:13 - Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:16 - “Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:19 - Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:20 - And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his son David to Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:22 - Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:23 - And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:1 - Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:2 - And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:10 - And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:34 - But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:39 - David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:40 - Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:43 - So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:45 - Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:46 - “This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:47 - “Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:52 - Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley[fn] and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:54 - And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:6 - Now it had happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:7 - So the women sang as they danced, and said:

“Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:8 - Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:14 - And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the LORD was with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:20 - Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:22 - And Saul commanded his servants, “Communicate with David secretly, and say, ‘Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king's son-in-law.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:23 - So Saul's servants spoke those words in the hearing of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king's son-in-law, seeing I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:25 - Then Saul said, “Thus you shall say to David: ‘The king does not desire any dowry but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies.' ” But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:26 - So when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to become the king's son-in-law. Now the days had not expired;
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:27 - therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:3 - “And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. Then what I observe, I will tell you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:5 - “For he took his life in his hands and killed the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:8 - And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:9 - Now the distressing spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:11 - Saul also sent messengers to David's house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:18 - So David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:19 - Now it was told Saul, saying, “Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:22 - Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. So he asked, and said, “Where are Samuel and David?” And someone said, “Indeed they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:23 - So he went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:24 - And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:1 - Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:3 - Then David took an oath again, and said, “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:5 - And David said to Jonathan, “Indeed tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third day at evening.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:8 - “Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. Nevertheless, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:15 - “but you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:19 - “And when you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid on the day of the deed; and remain by the stone Ezel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:24 - Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:26 - Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:29 - “And he said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:34 - So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:36 - Then he said to his lad, “Now run, find the arrows which I shoot.” As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:42 - Then Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever.' ” So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:2 - So David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, ‘Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.' And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:5 - Then David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was consecrated in the vessel this day.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:7 - Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:8 - And David said to Ahimelech, “Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:9 - So the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:10 - Then David arose and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:11 - And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances, saying:

‘Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands'?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:12 - Now David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:13 - So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:2 - And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:4 - So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:5 - Now the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah.” So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:6 - When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered—now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him—
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - “All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:11 - So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:14 - So Ahimelech answered the king and said, “And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - “Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:18 - And the king said to Doeg, “You turn and kill the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck the priests, and killed on that day eighty-five men who wore a linen ephod.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:19 - Also Nob, the city of the priests, he struck with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing infants, oxen and donkeys and sheep—with the edge of the sword.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:22 - So David said to Abiathar, “I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have caused the death of all the persons of your father's house.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:1 - Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:2 - Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:3 - But David's men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:5 - And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:6 - Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:14 - And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:15 - So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in a forest.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:16 - Then Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David in the woods and strengthened his hand in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:18 - So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his own house.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:19 - Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:22 - “Please go and find out for sure, and see the place where his hideout is, and who has seen him there. For I am told he is very crafty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:23 - “See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the clans[fn] of Judah.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:24 - So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:25 - When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the Wilderness of Maon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:29 - Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at En Gedi.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:1 - Now it happened, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, “Take note! David is in the Wilderness of En Gedi.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 - Then the men of David said to him, “This is the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you.' ” And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - “Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - “Moreover, my father, see! Yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the corner of your robe, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:19 - “For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:20 - “And now I know indeed that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:21 - “Therefore swear now to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name from my father's house.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:1 - Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:2 - Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel, and the man was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:3 - The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:4 - When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:7 - ‘Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:8 - ‘Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:9 - So when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and waited.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:15 - “But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:20 - So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and there were David and his men, coming down toward her, and she met them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:21 - Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid me evil for good.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:24 - So she fell at his feet and said: “On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:28 - “Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant. For the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil is not found in you throughout your days.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:29 - “Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, but the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall sling out, as from the pocket of a sling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:32 - Then David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:33 - “And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:36 - Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:37 - So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:1 - Now the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding in the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:2 - Then Saul arose and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:3 - And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite Jeshimon, by the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:5 - So David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Now Saul lay within the camp, with the people encamped all around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:7 - So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:15 - So David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:18 - And he said, “Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done, or what evil is in my hand?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:19 - “Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:20 - “So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:21 - Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have played the fool and erred exceedingly.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:24 - “And indeed, as your life was valued much this day in my eyes, so let my life be valued much in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:1 - And David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:3 - So David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:5 - Then David said to Achish, “If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:6 - So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:7 - Now the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:11 - David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, “Lest they should inform on us, saying, ‘Thus David did.' ” And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:12 - So Achish believed David, saying, “He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he will be my servant forever.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:1 - Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, “You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:3 - Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:6 - And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:7 - Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:8 - So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Please conduct a seance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:10 - And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, “As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:15 - Now Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul answered, “I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:17 - “And the LORD has done for Himself[fn] as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:18 - “Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:20 - Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:21 - And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was severely troubled, and said to him, “Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hands and heeded the words which you spoke to me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:22 - “Now therefore, please, heed also the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:24 - Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hastened to kill it. And she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:1 - Then the Philistines gathered together all their armies at Aphek, and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:3 - Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?” And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years? And to this day I have found no fault in him since he defected to me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:4 - But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of these men?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:5 - Is this not David, of whom they sang to one another in dances, saying:

‘Saul has slain his thousands,
And David his ten thousands'?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:6 - Then Achish called David and said to him, “Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:7 - “Therefore return now, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:8 - So David said to Achish, “But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:9 - Then Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are as good in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:10 - “Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master's servants who have come with you.[fn] And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:1 - Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:2 - and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:3 - So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:4 - Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:6 - Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:10 - But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:11 - Then they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they let him drink water.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:12 - And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:14 - “We made an invasion of the southern area of the Cherethites, in the territory which belongs to Judah, and of the southern area of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:16 - And when he had brought him down, there they were, spread out over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoil which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:21 - Now David came to the two hundred men who had been so weary that they could not follow David, whom they also had made to stay at the Brook Besor. So they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near the people, he greeted them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:27 - to those who were in Bethel, those who were in Ramoth of the South, those who were in Jattir,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:28 - those who were in Aroer, those who were in Siphmoth, those who were in Eshtemoa,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:29 - those who were in Rachal, those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:30 - those who were in Hormah, those who were in Chorashan,[fn] those who were in Athach,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:31 - those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to rove.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:1 - Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:4 - Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:6 - So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that same day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:7 - And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:10 - Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:1 - Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:2 - on the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:6 - Then the young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:9 - “He said to me again, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:12 - And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the people of the LORD and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:20 - Tell it not in Gath,
Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon—
Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice,
Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:21 - “O mountains of Gilboa,
Let there be no dew nor rain upon you,
Nor fields of offerings.
For the shield of the mighty is cast away there!
The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:23 - “Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives,
And in their death they were not divided;
They were swifter than eagles,
They were stronger than lions.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:25 - “How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle!
Jonathan was slain in your high places.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:1 - It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah?” And the LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” And He said, “To Hebron.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:3 - And David brought up the men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:11 - And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:15 - So they arose and went over by number, twelve from Benjamin, followers of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:16 - And each one grasped his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called the Field of Sharp Swords,[fn] which is in Gibeon.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:17 - So there was a very fierce battle that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:18 - Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab and Abishai and Asahel. And Asahel was as fleet of foot as a wild gazelle.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:23 - However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:32 - Then they took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at daybreak.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:2 - Sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:5 - and the sixth, Ithream, by David's wife Eglah. These were born to David in Hebron.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:6 - Now it was so, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was strengthening his hold on the house of Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:9 - “May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David as the LORD has sworn to him—
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:14 - So David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, saying, “Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:18 - “Now then, do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of My servant David, I[fn] will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and the hand of all their enemies.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:19 - And Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin. Then Abner also went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and the whole house of Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:21 - Then Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your heart desires.” So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:22 - At that moment the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:23 - When Joab and all the troops that were with him had come, they told Joab, saying, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:24 - Then Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you; why is it that you sent him away, and he has already gone?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:27 - Now when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there stabbed him in the stomach, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:29 - “Let it rest on the head of Joab and on all his father's house; and let there never fail to be in the house of Joab one who has a discharge or is a leper, who leans on a staff or falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:30 - So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:34 - Your hands were not bound
Nor your feet put into fetters;
As a man falls before wicked men, so you fell.”
Then all the people wept over him again.

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 13:19 - So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:7 - And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:9 - Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king's palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:12 - Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months' preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 2:15 - Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:3 - Then the king's servants who were within the king's gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you transgress the king's command?”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:7 - In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month,[fn] until it fell on the twelfth month,[fn] which is the month of Adar.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:8 - Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people's, and they do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 3:13 - And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:14 - “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 4:16 - “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:1 - Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, across from the king's house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:2 - So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:6 - At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:9 - So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:13 - “Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:2 - And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:4 - So the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:5 - The king's servants said to him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:6 - So Haman came in, and the king asked him, “What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?” Now Haman thought in his heart, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:10 - Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king's gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:2 - And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:7 - Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:8 - When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?” As the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:9 - Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king's behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.” Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:1 - On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:5 - and said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:6 - “For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:9 - So the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, the satraps, the governors, and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all, to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:11 - By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives—to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:12 - on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:13 - A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:14 - The couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king's command. And the decree was issued in Shushan the citadel.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:15 - So Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:1 - Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king's command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:2 - The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, because fear of them fell upon all people.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:4 - For Mordecai was great in the king's palace, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai became increasingly prominent.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:6 - And in Shushan the citadel the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:11 - On that day the number of those who were killed in Shushan the citadel was brought to the king.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:12 - And the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the citadel, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It shall be granted to you. Or what is your further request? It shall be done.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:15 - And the Jews who were in Shushan gathered together again on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and killed three hundred men at Shushan; but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:16 - The remainder of the Jews in the king's provinces gathered together and protected their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of their enemies; but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:18 - But the Jews who were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day, as well as on the fourteenth; and on the fifteenth of the month[fn] they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:19 - Therefore the Jews of the villages who dwelt in the unwalled towns celebrated the fourteenth day of the month of Adar with gladness and feasting, as a holiday, and for sending presents to one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:20 - And Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:22 - as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month which was turned from sorrow to joy for them, and from mourning to a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 10:2 - Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 10:3 - For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:1 - There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:5 - So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed[fn] God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:12 - And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:13 - Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:15 - “when the Sabeans[fn] raided them and took them away—indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:17 - While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:14 - Then You scare me with dreams
And terrify me with visions,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:19 - How long?
Will You not look away from me,
And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:4 - If your sons have sinned against Him,
He has cast them away for their transgression.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:17 - His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:23 - If the scourge slays suddenly,
He laughs at the plight of the innocent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:31 - Yet You will plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes will abhor me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:13 - ‘And these things You have hidden in Your heart;

Deeper than Sheol— what can you know?

And bring me[fn] to judgment with Yourself?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:8 - Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:5 - But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.

It becomes cobra venom within him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:20 - “Because he knows no quietness in his heart,[fn]
He will not save anything he desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:25 - It is drawn, and comes out of the body;
Yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall.
Terrors come upon him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:7 - Why do the wicked live and become old,
Yes, become mighty in power?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:8 - Their descendants are established with them in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:10 - Their bull breeds without failure;
Their cow calves without miscarriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:13 - They spend their days in wealth,
And in a moment go down to the grave.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:16 - Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand;
The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:21 - For what does he care about his household after him,
When the number of his months is cut in half?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:23 - One dies in his full strength,

And do not have the understanding of a man.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:4 - Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is His Son's name,
If you know?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:19 - The way of an eagle in the air,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
And the way of a man with a virgin.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:26 - The rock badgers[fn] are a feeble folk,
Yet they make their homes in the crags;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:28 - The spider[fn] skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings' palaces.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:31 - A greyhound,[fn]
A male goat also,
And a king whose troops are with him.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:6 - Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:21 - She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:23 - Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:26 - She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:31 - Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:1 - The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:3 - What profit has a man from all his labor
In which he toils under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:10 - Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:12 - I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:13 - And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:16 - I communed with my heart, saying, “Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:18 - For in much wisdom is much grief,
And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:1 - I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure”; but surely, this also was vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:3 - I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:5 - I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:7 - I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:9 - So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:10 - Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them.
I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure,
For my heart rejoiced in all my labor;
And this was my reward from all my labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:11 - Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done
And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:14 - The wise man's eyes are in his head,
But the fool walks in darkness.
Yet I myself perceived
That the same event happens to them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:15 - So I said in my heart,
“As it happens to the fool,
It also happens to me,
And why was I then more wise?”
Then I said in my heart,
“This also is vanity.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:19 - And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:21 - For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:22 - For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:23 - For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:9 - What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:10 - I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:12 - I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:13 - and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:17 - I said in my heart,

“God shall judge the righteous and the wicked,
For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:18 - I said in my heart, “Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:22 - So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:9 - Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:14 - For he comes out of prison to be king,
Although he was born poor in his kingdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:16 - There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king;
Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him.
Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:1 - Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:2 - Do not be rash with your mouth,
And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:3 - For a dream comes through much activity,
And a fool's voice is known by his many words.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 - When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed—
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:7 - For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:8 - If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:9 - Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:10 - He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;
Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.
This also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:11 - When goods increase,
They increase who eat them;
So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:14 - But those riches perish through misfortune;
When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:15 - As he came from his mother's womb, naked shall he return,
To go as he came;
And he shall take nothing from his labor
Which he may carry away in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:17 - All his days he also eats in darkness,
And he has much sorrow and sickness and anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:19 - As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:20 - For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:4 - for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:3 - Sorrow is better than laughter,
For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:4 - The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
But the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:9 - Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,
For anger rests in the bosom of fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:10 - Do not say,
“Why were the former days better than these?”
For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:12 - For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense,
But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:14 - In the day of prosperity be joyful,
But in the day of adversity consider:
Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other,
So that man can find out nothing that will come after him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:15 - I have seen everything in my days of vanity:

There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:17 - Do not be overly wicked,
Nor be foolish:
Why should you die before your time?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:18 - It is good that you grasp this,
And also not remove your hand from the other;
For he who fears God will escape them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:19 - Wisdom strengthens the wise
More than ten rulers of the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:20 - For there is not a just man on earth who does good
And does not sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:23 - All this I have proved by wisdom.
I said, “I will be wise”;
But it was far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:26 - And I find more bitter than death
The woman whose heart is snares and nets,
Whose hands are fetters.
He who pleases God shall escape from her,
But the sinner shall be trapped by her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:28 - Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find:
One man among a thousand I have found,
But a woman among all these I have not found.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:3 - “Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:8 - No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit,
And no one has power in the day of death.
There is no release from that war,
And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:9 - All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:10 - Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten[fn] in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:11 - Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:13 - But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:1 - For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:2 - All things come alike to all:

One event happens to the righteous and the wicked;
To the good,[fn] the clean, and the unclean;
To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice.
As is the good, so is the sinner;
He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:3 - This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:6 - Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;
Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:7 - Go, eat your bread with joy,
And drink your wine with a merry heart;
For God has already accepted your works.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:8 - Let your garments always be white,
And let your head lack no oil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:9 - Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:10 - Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:12 - For man also does not know his time:
Like fish taken in a cruel net,
Like birds caught in a snare,
So the sons of men are snared in an evil time,
When it falls suddenly upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:14 - There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares[fn] around it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:15 - Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:17 - Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard
Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:3 - Even when a fool walks along the way,
He lacks wisdom,
And he shows everyone that he is a fool.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:6 - Folly is set in great dignity,
While the rich sit in a lowly place.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:8 - He who digs a pit will fall into it,
And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:9 - He who quarries stones may be hurt by them,
And he who splits wood may be endangered by it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:11 - A serpent may bite when it is not charmed;
The babbler is no different.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:16 - Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,
And your princes feast in the morning!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:17 - Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles,
And your princes feast at the proper time—
For strength and not for drunkenness!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:18 - Because of laziness the building decays,
And through idleness of hands the house leaks.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:20 - Do not curse the king, even in your thought;
Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom;
For a bird of the air may carry your voice,
And a bird in flight may tell the matter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:1 - Cast your bread upon the waters,
For you will find it after many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:3 - If the clouds are full of rain,
They empty themselves upon the earth;
And if a tree falls to the south or the north,
In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:4 - He who observes the wind will not sow,
And he who regards the clouds will not reap.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:5 - As you do not know what is the way of the wind,[fn]
Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,
So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:6 - In the morning sow your seed,
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:8 - But if a man lives many years
And rejoices in them all,
Yet let him remember the days of darkness,
For they will be many.
All that is coming is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:9 - Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,
And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;
Walk in the ways of your heart,
And in the sight of your eyes;
But know that for all these
God will bring you into judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:1 - Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth,
Before the difficult days come,
And the years draw near when you say,
“I have no pleasure in them”:
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:3 - In the day when the keepers of the house tremble,
And the strong men bow down;
When the grinders cease because they are few,
And those that look through the windows grow dim;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:4 - When the doors are shut in the streets,
And the sound of grinding is low;
When one rises up at the sound of a bird,
And all the daughters of music are brought low.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:5 - Also they are afraid of height,
And of terrors in the way;
When the almond tree blossoms,
The grasshopper is a burden,
And desire fails.
For man goes to his eternal home,
And the mourners go about the streets.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:14 - For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:4 - Draw me away!

The Daughters of Jerusalem
We will run after you.[fn]

The Shulamite
The king has brought me into his chambers.

The Daughters of Jerusalem
We will be glad and rejoice in you.[fn]
We will remember your[fn] love more than wine.

The Shulamite
Rightly do they love you.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:6 - Do not look upon me, because I am dark,
Because the sun has tanned me.
My mother's sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own vineyard I have not kept.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:7 - (To Her Beloved)
Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who veils herself[fn]
By the flocks of your companions?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:8 - The Beloved
If you do not know, O fairest among women,
Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds' tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:9 - I have compared you, my love,
To my filly among Pharaoh's chariots.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:12 - The Shulamite
While the king is at his table,
My spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:14 - My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms
In the vineyards of En Gedi.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:2 - The Beloved
Like a lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:3 - The Shulamite
Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
So is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down in his shade with great delight,
And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:5 - Sustain me with cakes of raisins,
Refresh me with apples,
For I am lovesick.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:7 - I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:12 - The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:14 - “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your face,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:16 - The Shulamite
My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:1 - The Shulamite
By night on my bed I sought the one I love;
I sought him, but I did not find him.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:2 - “I will rise now,” I said,
“And go about the city;
In the streets and in the squares
I will seek the one I love.”
I sought him, but I did not find him.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:3 - The watchmen who go about the city found me;
I said,
“Have you seen the one I love?”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:5 - I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:8 - They all hold swords,
Being expert in war.
Every man has his sword on his thigh
Because of fear in the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:11 - Go forth, O daughters of Zion,
And see King Solomon with the crown
With which his mother crowned him
On the day of his wedding,
The day of the gladness of his heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:2 - Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep
Which have come up from the washing,
Every one of which bears twins,
And none is barren among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:5 - Your two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle,
Which feed among the lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:7 - You are all fair, my love,
And there is no spot in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:9 - You have ravished my heart,
My sister, my spouse;
You have ravished my heart
With one look of your eyes,
With one link of your necklace.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:6 - I opened for my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My heart leaped up when he spoke.
I sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:7 - The watchmen who went about the city found me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:8 - I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
That you tell him I am lovesick!
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:9 - The Daughters of Jerusalem
What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
O fairest among women?
What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
That you so charge us?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:12 - His eyes are like doves
By the rivers of waters,
Washed with milk,
And fitly set.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:1 - The Daughters of Jerusalem
Where has your beloved gone,
O fairest among women?
Where has your beloved turned aside,
That we may seek him with you?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:2 - The Shulamite
My beloved has gone to his garden,
To the beds of spices,
To feed his flock in the gardens,
And to gather lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:3 - I am my beloved's,
And my beloved is mine.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:6 - Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
Which have come up from the washing;
Every one bears twins,
And none is barren among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:11 - The Shulamite
I went down to the garden of nuts
To see the verdure of the valley,
To see whether the vine had budded
And the pomegranates had bloomed.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:13 - The Beloved and His Friends
Return, return, O Shulamite;
Return, return, that we may look upon you!

The Shulamite
What would you see in the Shulamite—
As it were, the dance of the two camps?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:1 - The Beloved
How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
O prince's daughter!
The curves of your thighs are like jewels,
The work of the hands of a skillful workman.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:2 - Your navel is a rounded goblet;
It lacks no blended beverage.
Your waist is a heap of wheat
Set about with lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:4 - Your neck is like an ivory tower,
Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon
By the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
Which looks toward Damascus.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:5 - Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
And the hair of your head is like purple;
A king is held captive by your tresses.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:6 - How fair and how pleasant you are,
O love, with your delights!
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:8 - I said, “I will go up to the palm tree,
I will take hold of its branches.”
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
The fragrance of your breath like apples,
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:11 - Come, my beloved,
Let us go forth to the field;
Let us lodge in the villages.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:4 - I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:7 - Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:8 - The Shulamite's Brothers
We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:10 - The Shulamite
I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:11 - Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
He leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:13 - The Beloved
You who dwell in the gardens,
The companions listen for your voice—
Let me hear it!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:1 - The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:8 - So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
As a besieged city.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:21 - How the faithful city has become a harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now murderers.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:24 - Therefore the Lord says,
The LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, I will rid Myself of My adversaries,
And take vengeance on My enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:2 - Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
That the mountain of the LORD's house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:3 - Many people shall come and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:11 - The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:17 - The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:7 - In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:14 - The LORD will enter into judgment
With the elders of His people
And His princes:
“For you have eaten up the vineyard;
