Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:4 - “You have not cheated or oppressed us,” they replied. “You have not taken anything from anyone's hand.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:12 - I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the LORD's favor.' So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:9 - But Saul and the army spared Agag and the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves[fn] and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:2 - “Never!” Jonathan replied. “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn't do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn't so!”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:21 - Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.' If I say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,' then come, because, as surely as the LORD lives, you are safe; there is no danger.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:8 - David asked Ahimelek, “Don't you have a spear or a sword here? I haven't brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king's mission was urgent.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:15 - Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father's family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:17 - Then the king ordered the guards at his side: “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me.” But the king's officials were unwilling to raise a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - This day you have seen with your own eyes how the LORD delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the LORD's anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I have not wronged you, but you are hunting me down to take my life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:12 - May the LORD judge between you and me. And may the LORD avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:13 - As the old saying goes, ‘From evildoers come evil deeds,' so my hand will not touch you.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:15 - Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:17 - Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:19 - Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead; I'll follow you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:21 - David had just said, “It's been useless—all my watching over this fellow's property in the wilderness so that nothing of his was missing. He has paid me back evil for good.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:25 - Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:31 - my lord will not have on his conscience the staggering burden of needless bloodshed or of having avenged himself. And when the LORD your God has brought my lord success, remember your servant.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:36 - When Abigail went to Nabal, he was in the house holding a banquet like that of a king. He was in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing at all until daybreak.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:12 - So David took the spear and water jug near Saul's head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:14 - He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren't you going to answer me, Abner?” Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:15 - David said, “You're a man, aren't you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn't you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 - What you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the LORD's anointed. Look around you. Where are the king's spear and water jug that were near his head?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 - The LORD rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the LORD's anointed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:1 - But David thought to himself, “One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:9 - Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:11 - He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, “They might inform on us and say, ‘This is what David did.' ” And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:6 - He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:15 - Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:18 - Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the LORD has done this to you today.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:20 - Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel's words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:23 - He refused and said, “I will not eat.” But his men joined the woman in urging him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the couch.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:6 - So Achish called David and said to him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day you came to me until today, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers don't approve of you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:2 - and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:4 - So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:17 - David fought them from dusk until the evening of the next day, and none of them got away, except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:4 - Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.” But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:14 - David asked him, “Why weren't you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:21 - “Mountains of Gilboa, may you have neither dew nor rain, may no showers fall on your terraced fields.[fn] For there the shield of the mighty was despised, the shield of Saul—no longer rubbed with oil.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:22 - “From the blood of the slain, from the flesh of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, the sword of Saul did not return unsatisfied.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:19 - He chased Abner, turning neither to the right nor to the left as he pursued him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:21 - Then Abner said to him, “Turn aside to the right or to the left; take on one of the young men and strip him of his weapons.” But Asahel would not stop chasing him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:23 - But Asahel refused to give up the pursuit; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into Asahel's stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot. And every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:26 - Abner called out to Joab, “Must the sword devour forever? Don't you realize that this will end in bitterness? How long before you order your men to stop pursuing their fellow Israelites?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:8 - Abner was very angry because of what Ish-Bosheth said. So he answered, “Am I a dog's head—on Judah's side? This very day I am loyal to the house of your father Saul and to his family and friends. I haven't handed you over to David. Yet now you accuse me of an offense involving this woman!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:11 - Ish-Bosheth did not dare to say another word to Abner, because he was afraid of him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:13 - “Good,” said David. “I will make an agreement with you. But I demand one thing of you: Do not come into my presence unless you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see me.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:22 - Just then David's men and Joab returned from a raid and brought with them a great deal of plunder. But Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, because David had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:25 - You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:26 - Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah. But David did not know it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:34 - Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. You fell as one falls before the wicked.” And all the people wept over him again.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:37 - So on that day all the people there and all Israel knew that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:38 - Then the king said to his men, “Do you not realize that a commander and a great man has fallen in Israel this day?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:6 - The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, “You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off.” They thought, “David cannot get in here.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:8 - On that day David had said, “Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft to reach those ‘lame and blind' who are David's enemies.[fn]” That is why they say, “The ‘blind and lame' will not enter the palace.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:23 - so David inquired of the LORD, and he answered, “Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the poplar trees.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:10 - He was not willing to take the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:7 - Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?” '
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:15 - But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:22 - “How great you are, Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:20 - the king's anger may flare up, and he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know they would shoot arrows from the wall?

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:6 - He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:10 - Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:17 - The elders of his household stood beside him to get him up from the ground, but he refused, and he would not eat any food with them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:18 - On the seventh day the child died. David's attendants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, “While the child was still living, he wouldn't listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we now tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:23 - But now that he is dead, why should I go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:4 - He asked Amnon, “Why do you, the king's son, look so haggard morning after morning? Won't you tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I'm in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:14 - But he refused to listen to her, and since he was stronger than she, he raped her.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:16 - “No!” she said to him. “Sending me away would be a greater wrong than what you have already done to me.” But he refused to listen to her.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:21 - When King David heard all this, he was furious.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:22 - And Absalom never said a word to Amnon, either good or bad; he hated Amnon because he had disgraced his sister Tamar.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 13:25 - “No, my son,” the king replied. “All of us should not go; we would only be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he still refused to go but gave him his blessing.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:6 - I your servant had two sons. They got into a fight with each other in the field, and no one was there to separate them. One struck the other and killed him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:24 - But the king said, “He must go to his own house; he must not see my face.” So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the face of the king.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:25 - In all Israel there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the top of his head to the sole of his foot there was no blemish in him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:28 - Absalom lived two years in Jerusalem without seeing the king's face.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:29 - Then Absalom sent for Joab in order to send him to the king, but Joab refused to come to him. So he sent a second time, but he refused to come.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:32 - Absalom said to Joab, “Look, I sent word to you and said, ‘Come here so I can send you to the king to ask, “Why have I come from Geshur?

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:29 - So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:33 - Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:35 - He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:23 - till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 12:21 - No harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 12:27 - The lazy do not roast[fn] any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 14:10 - Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 14:22 - Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find[fn] love and faithfulness.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 21:30 - There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:12 - If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:16 - the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!'
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:18 - “There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:26 - hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:30 - a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:11 - Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:18 - She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:27 - She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:7 - All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:8 - All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:9 - What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:11 - No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:10 - I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:11 - Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:16 - For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered; the days have already come when both have been forgotten. Like the fool, the wise too must die!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:21 - For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:12 - I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:14 - I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:22 - So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:1 - Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed— and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors— and they have no comforter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:3 - But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:8 - There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too is meaningless— a miserable business!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:13 - Better a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to heed a warning.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:16 - There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 - When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:12 - The sleep of a laborer is sweet, whether they eat little or much, but as for the rich, their abundance permits them no sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:14 - or wealth lost through some misfortune, so that when they have children there is nothing left for them to inherit.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:2 - God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:3 - A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:5 - Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man—
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:6 - even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:10 - Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:20 - Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:7 - Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:8 - As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so[fn] no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:11 - When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people's hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:13 - Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—people getting no sleep day or night—
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:1 - So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God's hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:5 - For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:6 - Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:10 - Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:12 - Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:15 - Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:11 - If a snake bites before it is charmed, the charmer receives no fee.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:14 - and fools multiply words. No one knows what is coming— who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:15 - The toil of fools wearies them; they do not know the way to town.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:17 - Blessed is the land whose king is of noble birth and whose princes eat at a proper time— for strength and not for drunkenness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:5 - As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed[fn] in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:1 - Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”—
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:12 - Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:6 - Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I had to neglect.
