Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:20 - Now don't let my blood fall to the ground away from the LORD's presence, for the king of Israel has gone out to look for a flea the way one looks for a partridge in the hill country."

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:14 - He said to her, "What about his appearance?" She said, "An old man is coming up! He is wrapped in a robe!" Then Saul realized it was Samuel, and he bowed his face toward the ground and kneeled down.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:15 - David said to him, "Can you take us down to this raiding party?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or hand me over to my master, and I will take you down to this raiding party."

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:17 - But David struck them down from twilight until the following evening. None of them escaped, with the exception of four hundred young men who got away on camels.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:6 - The young man who was telling him this said, "I just happened to be on Mount Gilboa and came across Saul leaning on his spear for support. The chariots and leaders of the horsemen were in hot pursuit of him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:7 - When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me. I answered, 'Here I am!'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:10 - So I stood over him and put him to death, since I knew that he couldn't live in such a condition. Then I took the crown which was on his head and the bracelet which was on his arm. I have brought them here to my lord."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:12 - They lamented and wept and fasted until evening because Saul, his son Jonathan, the LORD's people, and the house of Israel had fallen by the sword.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:16 - David said to him, "Your blood be on your own head! Your own mouth has testified against you, saying 'I have put the LORD's anointed to death.'"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:17 - Then David chanted this lament over Saul and his son Jonathan.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:19 - The beauty of Israel lies slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:24 - O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet as well as jewelry, who put gold jewelry on your clothes.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:25 - How the warriors have fallen in the midst of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your high places!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:26 - I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan! You were very dear to me. Your love was more special to me than the love of women.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:4 - The men of Judah came and there they anointed David as king over the people of Judah. David was told, "The people of Jabesh Gilead are the ones who buried Saul."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:5 - So David sent messengers to the people of Jabesh Gilead and told them, "May you be blessed by the LORD because you have shown this kindness to your lord Saul by burying him.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:13 - Joab son of Zeruiah and the servants of David also went out and confronted them at the pool of Gibeon. One group stationed themselves on one side of the pool, and the other group on the other side of the pool.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:23 - But Asahel refused to turn aside. So Abner struck him in the abdomen with the back end of his spear. The spear came out his back; Asahel collapsed on the spot and died there right before Abner. Everyone who now comes to the place where Asahel fell dead pauses in respect.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:24 - So Joab and Abishai chased Abner. At sunset they came to the hill of Ammah near Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:21 - Abner said to David, "Let me leave so that I may go and gather all Israel to my lord the king so that they may make an agreement with you. Then you will rule over all that you desire." So David sent Abner away, and he left in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:27 - When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gate as if to speak privately with him. Joab then stabbed him in the abdomen and killed him, avenging the shed blood of his brother Asahel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:29 - May his blood whirl over the head of Joab and the entire house of his father! May the males of Joab's house never cease to have someone with a running sore or a skin disease or one who works at the spindle or one who falls by the sword or one who lacks food!"

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:13 - The woman said, "Why have you devised something like this against God's people? When the king speaks in this fashion, he makes himself guilty, for the king has not brought back the one he has banished.

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:2 - Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth! Therefore, let your words be few.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:6 - Do not let your mouth cause you to sin, and do not tell the priest, "It was a mistake!" Why make God angry at you so that he would destroy the work of your hands?"
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:8 - If you see the extortion of the poor, or the perversion of justice and fairness in the government, do not be astonished by the matter. For the high official is watched by a higher official, and there are higher ones over them!

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:9 - My lover is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he stands behind our wall, gazing through the window, peering through the lattice. The Lover to His Beloved:

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:12 - His eyes are like doves by streams of water, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:14 - His arms are like rods of gold set with chrysolite. His abdomen is like polished ivory inlaid with sapphires.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:15 - His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:5 - Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. The locks of your hair are like royal tapestries - the king is held captive in its tresses!

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:5 - Who is this coming up from the desert, leaning on her beloved? The Beloved to Her Lover: Under the apple tree I aroused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who bore you was in labor of childbirth. The Beloved to Her Lover:
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:6 - Set me like a cylinder seal over your heart, like a signet on your arm. For love is as strong as death, passion is as unrelenting as Sheol. Its flames burst forth, it is a blazing flame.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:14 - Make haste, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:25 - I will attack you; I will purify your metal with flux. I will remove all your slag.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:29 - Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you find so desirable; you will be embarrassed because of the sacred orchards where you choose to worship.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:12 - Indeed, the LORD who commands armies has planned a day of judgment, for all the high and mighty, for all who are proud - they will be humiliated;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:13 - for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are so high and mighty, for all the oaks of Bashan;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:14 - for all the tall mountains, for all the high hills,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:15 - for every high tower, for every fortified wall,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:16 - for all the large ships, for all the impressive ships.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:25 - So the LORD is furious with his people; he lifts his hand and strikes them. The mountains shake, and corpses lie like manure in the middle of the streets. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 6:1 - In the year of King Uzziah's death, I saw the sovereign master seated on a high, elevated throne. The hem of his robe filled the temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 6:12 - and the LORD has sent the people off to a distant place, and the very heart of the land is completely abandoned.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:1 - During the reign of Ahaz son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah son of Remaliah of Israel marched up to Jerusalem to do battle, but they were unable to prevail against it.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:8 - The sovereign master decreed judgment on Jacob, and it fell on Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:17 - So the sovereign master was not pleased with their young men, he took no pity on their orphans and widows; for the whole nation was godless and did wicked things, every mouth was speaking disgraceful words.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:14 - They will swoop down on the Philistine hills to the west; together they will loot the people of the east. They will take over Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be their subjects.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:15 - The LORD will divide the gulf of the Egyptian Sea; he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River and send a strong wind, he will turn it into seven dried-up streams, and enable them to walk across in their sandals.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 13:4 - There is a loud noise on the mountains - it sounds like a large army! There is great commotion among the kingdoms - nations are being assembled! The LORD who commands armies is mustering forces for battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 13:18 - Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; they have no compassion on a person's offspring, they will not look with pity on children.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:1 - The LORD will certainly have compassion on Jacob; he will again choose Israel as his special people and restore them to their land. Resident foreigners will join them and unite with the family of Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:2 - Nations will take them and bring them back to their own place. Then the family of Jacob will make foreigners their servants as they settle in the LORD's land. They will make their captors captives and rule over the ones who oppressed them.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:26 - This is the plan I have devised for the whole earth; my hand is ready to strike all the nations."
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 15:2 - They went up to the temple, the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament. Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba, Moab wails. Every head is shaved bare, every beard is trimmed off.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 15:3 - In their streets they wear sackcloth; on their roofs and in their town squares all of them wail, they fall down weeping.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 15:5 - My heart cries out because of Moab's plight, and for the fugitives stretched out as far as Zoar and Eglath Shelishiyah. For they weep as they make their way up the ascent of Luhith; they loudly lament their demise on the road to Horonaim.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 15:7 - For this reason what they have made and stored up, they carry over the Stream of the Poplars.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 15:9 - Indeed, the waters of Dimon are full of blood! Indeed, I will heap even more trouble on Dimon. A lion will attack the Moabite fugitives and the people left in the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:1 - Send rams as tribute to the ruler of the land, from Sela in the desert to the hill of Daughter Zion.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:4 - Please let the Moabite fugitives live among you. Hide them from the destroyer!" Certainly the one who applies pressure will cease, the destroyer will come to an end, those who trample will disappear from the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:9 - So I weep along with Jazer over the vines of Sibmah. I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh, for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly over your fruit and crops.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:11 - So my heart constantly sighs for Moab, like the strumming of a harp, my inner being sighs for Kir Hareseth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:12 - When the Moabites plead with all their might at their high places, and enter their temples to pray, their prayers will be ineffective!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:13 - This is the message the LORD previously announced about Moab.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:6 - There will be some left behind, like when an olive tree is beaten - two or three ripe olives remain toward the very top, four or five on its fruitful branches," says the LORD God of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:7 - At that time men will trust in their creator; they will depend on the Holy One of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:8 - They will no longer trust in the altars their hands made, or depend on the Asherah poles and incense altars their fingers made.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:1 - Here is a message about Egypt: Look, the LORD rides on a swift-moving cloud and approaches Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him; the Egyptians lose their courage.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 20:5 - Those who put their hope in Cush and took pride in Egypt will be afraid and embarrassed.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 21:8 - Then the guard cries out: "On the watchtower, O sovereign master, I stand all day long; at my post I am stationed every night.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:4 - So I say: "Don't look at me! I am weeping bitterly. Don't try to console me concerning the destruction of my defenseless people."
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:5 - For the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, has planned a day of panic, defeat, and confusion. In the Valley of Vision people shout and cry out to the hill.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:8 - Who planned this for royal Tyre, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the dignitaries of the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:9 - The LORD who commands armies planned it - to dishonor the pride that comes from all her beauty, to humiliate all the dignitaries of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:14 - They lift their voices and shout joyfully; they praise the majesty of the LORD in the west.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:17 - Terror, pit, and snare are ready to overtake you inhabitants of the earth!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:21 - At that time the LORD will punish the heavenly forces in the heavens and the earthly kings on the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 25:6 - The LORD who commands armies will hold a banquet for all the nations on this mountain. At this banquet there will be plenty of meat and aged wine - tender meat and choicest wine.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 25:7 - On this mountain he will swallow up the shroud that is over all the peoples, the woven covering that is over all the nations;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 25:9 - At that time they will say, "Look, here is our God! We waited for him and he delivered us. Here is the LORD! We waited for him. Let's rejoice and celebrate his deliverance!"
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 25:10 - For the LORD's power will make this mountain secure. Moab will be trampled down where it stands, as a heap of straw is trampled down in a manure pile.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:1 - At that time this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city! The LORD's deliverance, like walls and a rampart, makes it secure.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:3 - You keep completely safe the people who maintain their faith, for they trust in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:8 - Yes, as your judgments unfold, O LORD, we wait for you. We desire your fame and reputation to grow.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:9 - I look for you during the night, my spirit within me seeks you at dawn, for when your judgments come upon the earth, those who live in the world learn about justice.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:10 - If the wicked are shown mercy, they do not learn about justice. Even in a land where right is rewarded, they act unjustly; they do not see the LORD's majesty revealed.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:17 - As when a pregnant woman gets ready to deliver and strains and cries out because of her labor pains, so were we because of you, O LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:18 - We were pregnant, we strained, we gave birth, as it were, to wind. We cannot produce deliverance on the earth; people to populate the world are not born.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:21 - For look, the LORD is coming out of the place where he lives, to punish the sin of those who live on the earth. The earth will display the blood shed on it; it will no longer cover up its slain.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:1 - At that time the LORD will punish with his destructive, great, and powerful sword Leviathan the fast-moving serpent, Leviathan the squirming serpent; he will kill the sea monster.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:13 - At that time a large trumpet will be blown, and the ones lost in the land of Assyria will come, as well as the refugees in the land of Egypt. They will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:1 - The splendid crown of Ephraim's drunkards is doomed, the withering flower, its beautiful splendor, situated at the head of a rich valley, the crown of those overcome with wine.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:6 - He will give discernment to the one who makes judicial decisions, and strength to those who defend the city from attackers.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:10 - Indeed, they will hear meaningless gibberish, senseless babbling, a syllable here, a syllable there.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:13 - So the LORD's word to them will sound like meaningless gibberish, senseless babbling, a syllable here, a syllable there. As a result, they will fall on their backsides when they try to walk, and be injured, ensnared, and captured.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:22 - So now, do not mock, or your chains will become heavier! For I have heard a message about decreed destruction, from the sovereign master, the LORD who commands armies, against the entire land.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:27 - Certainly caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin seed. Certainly caraway seed is beaten with a stick, and cumin seed with a flail.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:3 - I will lay siege to you on all sides; I will besiege you with troops; I will raise siege works against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:7 - It will be like a dream, a night vision. There will be a horde from all the nations that fight against Ariel, those who attack her and her stronghold and besiege her.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:8 - It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating, only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking, only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. So it will be for the horde from all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:20 - For tyrants will disappear, those who taunt will vanish, and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated -
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:22 - So this is what the LORD, the one who delivered Abraham, says to the family of Jacob: "Jacob will no longer be ashamed; their faces will no longer show their embarrassment.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:8 - Now go, write it down on a tablet in their presence, inscribe it on a scroll, so that it might be preserved for a future time as an enduring witness.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:12 - For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says: "You have rejected this message; you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, and rely on that kind of behavior.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:15 - For this is what the master, the LORD, the Holy One of Israel says: "If you repented and patiently waited for me, you would be delivered; if you calmly trusted in me you would find strength, but you are unwilling.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:16 - You say, 'No, we will flee on horses,' so you will indeed flee. You say, 'We will ride on fast horses,' so your pursuers will be fast.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:17 - One thousand will scurry at the battle cry of one enemy soldier; at the battle cry of five enemy soldiers you will all run away, until the remaining few are as isolated as a flagpole on a mountaintop or a signal flag on a hill."
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:25 - On every high mountain and every high hill there will be streams flowing with water, at the time of great slaughter when the fortified towers collapse.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:28 - His battle cry overwhelms like a flooding river that reaches one's neck. He shakes the nations in a sieve that isolates the chaff; he puts a bit into the mouth of the nations and leads them to destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 31:1 - Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead, those who rely on war horses, and trust in Egypt's many chariots and in their many, many horsemen. But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel and do not seek help from the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 31:2 - Yet he too is wise and he will bring disaster; he does not retract his decree. He will attack the wicked nation, and the nation that helps those who commit sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 31:4 - Indeed, this is what the LORD says to me: "The LORD will be like a growling lion, like a young lion growling over its prey. Though a whole group of shepherds gathers against it, it is not afraid of their shouts or intimidated by their yelling. In this same way the LORD who commands armies will descend to do battle on Mount Zion and on its hill.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:12 - Mourn over the field, over the delightful fields and the fruitful vine!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:20 - you will be blessed, you who plant seed by all the banks of the streams, you who let your ox and donkey graze.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:1 - The destroyer is as good as dead, you who have not been destroyed! The deceitful one is as good as dead, the one whom others have not deceived! When you are through destroying, you will be destroyed; when you finish deceiving, others will deceive you!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:2 - LORD, be merciful to us! We wait for you. Give us strength each morning! Deliver us when distress comes.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:2 - For the LORD is angry at all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will annihilate them and slaughter them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:5 - He says, "Indeed, my sword has slaughtered heavenly powers. Look, it now descends on Edom, on the people I will annihilate in judgment."
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 35:10 - those whom the LORD has ransomed will return that way. They will enter Zion with a happy shout. Unending joy will crown them, happiness and joy will overwhelm them; grief and suffering will disappear.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 36:1 - In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah's reign, King Sennacherib of Assyria marched up against all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 36:5 - Your claim to have a strategy and military strength is just empty talk. In whom are you trusting, that you would dare to rebel against me?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 36:6 - Look, you must be trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed staff. If someone leans on it for support, it punctures his hand and wounds him. That is what Pharaoh king of Egypt does to all who trust in him!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 36:7 - Perhaps you will tell me, 'We are trusting in the LORD our God.' But Hezekiah is the one who eliminated his high places and altars and then told the people of Judah and Jerusalem, 'You must worship at this altar.'
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 36:10 - Furthermore it was by the command of the LORD that I marched up against this land to destroy it. The LORD told me, 'March up against this land and destroy it!'"'"
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 36:11 - Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the chief adviser, "Speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don't speak with us in the Judahite dialect in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 36:12 - But the chief adviser said, "My master did not send me to speak these words only to your master and to you. His message is also for the men who sit on the wall, for they will eat their own excrement and drink their own urine along with you!"
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:16 - "O LORD who commands armies, O God of Israel, who is enthroned on the cherubim! You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the sky and the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:22 - this is what the LORD says about him: "The virgin daughter Zion despises you - she makes fun of you; daughter Jerusalem shakes her head after you.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:27 - Their residents are powerless; they are terrified and ashamed. They are as short-lived as plants in the field or green vegetation. They are as short-lived as grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:33 - So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: 'He will not enter this city, nor will he shoot an arrow here. He will not attack it with his shielded warriors, nor will he build siege works against it.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 38:11 - "I thought, 'I will no longer see the LORD in the land of the living, I will no longer look on humankind with the inhabitants of the world.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 41:18 - I will make streams flow down the slopes and produce springs in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water and the arid land into springs.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 42:4 - He will not grow dim or be crushed before establishing justice on the earth; the coastlands will wait in anticipation for his decrees."
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 42:13 - The LORD emerges like a hero, like a warrior he inspires himself for battle; he shouts, yes, he yells, he shows his enemies his power.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 42:17 - Those who trust in idols will turn back and be utterly humiliated, those who say to metal images, 'You are our gods.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 42:25 - So he poured out his fierce anger on them, along with the devastation of war. Its flames encircled them, but they did not realize it; it burned against them, but they did notice.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 44:3 - For I will pour water on the parched ground and cause streams to flow on the dry land. I will pour my spirit on your offspring and my blessing on your children.
