Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:41 - Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:44 - Stay with him for a while until your brother's fury subsides.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:7 - and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:8 - Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:9 - so he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:11 - When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:16 - When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:18 - Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:2 - There he saw a well in the open country, with three flocks of sheep lying near it because the flocks were watered from that well. The stone over the mouth of the well was large.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:3 - When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well's mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:6 - Then Jacob asked them, “Is he well?” “Yes, he is,” they said, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:9 - While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherd.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:10 - When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban's sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle's sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:11 - Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:13 - As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister's son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:14 - Then Laban said to him, “You are my own flesh and blood.” After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:20 - So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:23 - But when evening came, he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and Jacob made love to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:24 - And Laban gave his servant Zilpah to his daughter as her attendant.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:28 - And Jacob did so. He finished the week with Leah, and then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:29 - Laban gave his servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her attendant.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:32 - Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben,[fn] for she said, “It is because the LORD has seen my misery. Surely my husband will love me now.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:33 - She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Because the LORD heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:34 - Again she conceived, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “Now at last my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” So he was named Levi.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:35 - She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah.[fn] Then she stopped having children.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:6 - Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son.” Because of this she named him Dan.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:8 - Then Rachel said, “I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won.” So she named him Naphtali.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:11 - Then Leah said, “What good fortune!”[fn] So she named him Gad.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:13 - Then Leah said, “How happy I am! The women will call me happy.” So she named him Asher.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:18 - Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:20 - Then Leah said, “God has presented me with a precious gift. This time my husband will treat me with honor, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:24 - She named him Joseph,[fn] and said, “May the LORD add to me another son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:35 - That same day he removed all the male goats that were streaked or spotted, and all the speckled or spotted female goats (all that had white on them) and all the dark-colored lambs, and he placed them in the care of his sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:17 - Then Jacob put his children and his wives on camels,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:18 - and he drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all the goods he had accumulated in Paddan Aram,[fn] to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:19 - When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father's household gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:21 - So he fled with all he had, crossed the Euphrates River, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:23 - Taking his relatives with him, he pursued Jacob for seven days and caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there too.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:32 - But if you find anyone who has your gods, that person shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself whether there is anything of yours here with me; and if so, take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:46 - He said to his relatives, “Gather some stones.” So they took stones and piled them in a heap, and they ate there by the heap.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:48 - Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me today.” That is why it was called Galeed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:53 - May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” So Jacob took an oath in the name of the Fear of his father Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:54 - He offered a sacrifice there in the hill country and invited his relatives to a meal. After they had eaten, they spent the night there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:55 - Early the next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then he left and returned home.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:3 - Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:6 - When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:7 - In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups,[fn] and the flocks and herds and camels as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:13 - He spent the night there, and from what he had with him he selected a gift for his brother Esau:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:16 - He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:20 - And be sure to say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.' ” For he thought, “I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So Jacob's gifts went on ahead of him, but he himself spent the night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:22 - That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:23 - After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:24 - So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:31 - The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[fn] and he was limping because of his hip.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:1 - Jacob looked up and there was Esau, coming with his four hundred men; so he divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two female servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:3 - He himself went on ahead and bowed down to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:4 - But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:17 - Jacob, however, went to Sukkoth, where he built a place for himself and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is called Sukkoth.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:19 - For a hundred pieces of silver,[fn] he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of ground where he pitched his tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:13 - Because their sister Dinah had been defiled, Jacob's sons replied deceitfully as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - The young man, who was the most honored of all his father's family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:20 - So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city to speak to the men of their city.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:24 - All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:26 - They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:2 - So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:7 - There he built an altar, and he called the place El Bethel,[fn] because it was there that God revealed himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:13 - Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:14 - Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:15 - Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni.[fn] But his father named him Benjamin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father's concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard of it. Jacob had twelve sons:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:29 - Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:6 - Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:24 - The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs[fn] in the desert while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:32 - Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:33 - When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah succeeded him as king.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:34 - When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites succeeded him as king.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:35 - When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:36 - When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him as king.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:37 - When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the river succeeded him as king.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:38 - When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Akbor succeeded him as king.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:39 - When Baal-Hanan son of Akbor died, Hadad[fn] succeeded him as king. His city was named Pau, and his wife's name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:2 - This is the account of Jacob's family line. Joseph, a young man of seventeen, was tending the flocks with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and he brought their father a bad report about them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:3 - Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate[fn] robe for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:4 - When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:5 - Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:8 - His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:9 - Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:10 - When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:11 - His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:12 - Now his brothers had gone to graze their father's flocks near Shechem,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let's go to Dothan.' ” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:19 - “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:20 - “Come now, let's kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we'll see what comes of his dreams.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - “Don't shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern here in the wilderness, but don't lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:23 - So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe he was wearing—
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:26 - Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:27 - Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:30 - He went back to his brothers and said, “The boy isn't there! Where can I turn now?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:34 - Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:35 - All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son in the grave.” So his father wept for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:3 - she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:4 - She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah. It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:6 - Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:9 - But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Judah then said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father's household until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, just like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father's household.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:12 - After a long time Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had recovered from his grief, he went up to Timnah, to the men who were shearing his sheep, and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:13 - When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:16 - Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “And what will you give me to sleep with you?” she asked.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - He said, “What pledge should I give you?” “Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order to get his pledge back from the woman, but he did not find her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:29 - But when he drew back his hand, his brother came out, and she said, “So this is how you have broken out!” And he was named Perez.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:30 - Then his brother, who had the scarlet thread on his wrist, came out. And he was named Zerah.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:4 - Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:7 - and after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:9 - No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:12 - She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:13 - When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:16 - She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:18 - But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:19 - When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:21 - the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:23 - The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:2 - Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:5 - each of the two men—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were being held in prison—had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:7 - So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were in custody with him in his master's house, “Why do you look so sad today?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:9 - So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said to him, “In my dream I saw a vine in front of me,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:12 - “This is what it means,” Joseph said to him. “The three branches are three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:13 - Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:18 - “This is what it means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his officials. He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker in the presence of his officials:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:21 - He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh's hand—
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:23 - The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:8 - In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:37 - The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:38 - So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God[fn]?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:42 - Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:43 - He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command,[fn] and people shouted before him, “Make way[fn]!” Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you just keep looking at each other?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:4 - But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:7 - As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. “Where do you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied, “to buy food.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:8 - Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - They said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come on us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:22 - Reuben replied, “Didn't I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you wouldn't listen! Now we must give an accounting for his blood.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:25 - Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to put each man's silver back in his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. After this was done for them,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:27 - At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:28 - “My silver has been returned,” he said to his brothers. “Here it is in my sack.” Their hearts sank and they turned to each other trembling and said, “What is this that God has done to us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - Then Reuben said to his father, “You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But Jacob said, “My son will not go down there with you; his brother is dead and he is the only one left. If harm comes to him on the journey you are taking, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in sorrow.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:8 - Then Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the boy along with me and we will go at once, so that we and you and our children may live and not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with me at noon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - But at the place where we stopped for the night we opened our sacks and each of us found his silver—the exact weight—in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back with us.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:29 - As he looked about and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother's son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” And he said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:30 - Deeply moved at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:32 - They served him by himself, the brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because Egyptians could not eat with Hebrews, for that is detestable to Egyptians.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:33 - The men had been seated before him in the order of their ages, from the firstborn to the youngest; and they looked at each other in astonishment.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:34 - When portions were served to them from Joseph's table, Benjamin's portion was five times as much as anyone else's. So they feasted and drank freely with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:1 - Now Joseph gave these instructions to the steward of his house: “Fill the men's sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 6:31 - But Joash replied to the hostile crowd around him, “Are you going to plead Baal's cause? Are you trying to save him? Whoever fights for him shall be put to death by morning! If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 8:27 - Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 9:17 - Remember that my father fought for you and risked his life to rescue you from the hand of Midian.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 9:18 - But today you have revolted against my father's family. You have murdered his seventy sons on a single stone and have made Abimelek, the son of his female slave, king over the citizens of Shechem because he is related to you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 9:28 - Then Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelek, and why should we Shechemites be subject to him? Isn't he Jerub-Baal's son, and isn't Zebul his deputy? Serve the family of Hamor, Shechem's father! Why should we serve Abimelek?
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 9:31 - Under cover he sent messengers to Abimelek, saying, “Gaal son of Ebed and his clan have come to Shechem and are stirring up the city against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 9:33 - In the morning at sunrise, advance against the city. When Gaal and his men come out against you, seize the opportunity to attack them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 9:34 - So Abimelek and all his troops set out by night and took up concealed positions near Shechem in four companies.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:32 - Then Jephthah went over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into his hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:34 - When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of timbrels! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:35 - When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, “Oh no, my daughter! You have brought me down and I am devastated. I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:39 - After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. And she was a virgin. From this comes the Israelite tradition

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 13:7 - But he said to me, ‘You will become pregnant and have a son. Now then, drink no wine or other fermented drink and do not eat anything unclean, because the boy will be a Nazirite of God from the womb until the day of his death.' ”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 13:19 - Then Manoah took a young goat, together with the grain offering, and sacrificed it on a rock to the LORD. And the LORD did an amazing thing while Manoah and his wife watched:

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 13:23 - But his wife answered, “If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and grain offering from our hands, nor shown us all these things or now told us this.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:3 - But Samson lay there only until the middle of the night. Then he got up and took hold of the doors of the city gate, together with the two posts, and tore them loose, bar and all. He lifted them to his shoulders and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:5 - The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, “See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels[fn] of silver.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:9 - With men hidden in the room, she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” But he snapped the bowstrings as easily as a piece of string snaps when it comes close to a flame. So the secret of his strength was not discovered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:12 - So Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them. Then, with men hidden in the room, she called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” But he snapped the ropes off his arms as if they were threads.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:17 - So he told her everything. “No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite dedicated to God from my mother's womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:18 - When Delilah saw that he had told her everything, she sent word to the rulers of the Philistines, “Come back once more; he has told me everything.” So the rulers of the Philistines returned with the silver in their hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:20 - Then she called, “Samson, the Philistines are upon you!” He awoke from his sleep and thought, “I'll go out as before and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had left him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:21 - Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:22 - But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:29 - Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other,
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:30 - Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines!” Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:31 - Then his brothers and his father's whole family went down to get him. They brought him back and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. He had led[fn] Israel twenty years.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 18:21 - Putting their little children, their livestock and their possessions in front of them, they turned away and left.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:3 - They answered, “If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it back to him without a gift; by all means send a guilt offering to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted from you.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:12 - The men of the outpost shouted to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up to us and we'll teach you a lesson.” So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Climb up after me; the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:13 - Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and killed behind him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:27 - But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people with the oath, so he reached out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:34 - Then he said, “Go out among the men and tell them, ‘Each of you bring me your cattle and sheep, and slaughter them here and eat them. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with blood still in it.' ” So everyone brought his ox that night and slaughtered it there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:42 - Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:45 - But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never!

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:47 - After Saul had assumed rule over Israel, he fought against their enemies on every side: Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the kings[fn] of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment on them.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:6 - Then he said to the Kenites, “Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:1 - The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:5 - Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:13 - So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:16 - Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:17 - So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:18 - One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:20 - So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:21 - David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:23 - Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:4 - A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:5 - He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels[fn];
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:6 - on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:7 - His spear shaft was like a weaver's rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels.[fn] His shield bearer went ahead of him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:33 - Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:34 - But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:35 - I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:38 - Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:39 - David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:40 - Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:43 - He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:49 - Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:51 - David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine's sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:54 - David took the Philistine's head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine's weapons in his own tent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:7 - As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:13 - So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:14 - In everything he did he had great success, because the LORD was with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:15 - When Saul saw how successful he was, he was afraid of him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:20 - Now Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:22 - Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:27 - David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:1 - Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:4 - Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:5 - He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The LORD won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:7 - So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:8 - Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:9 - But an evil[fn] spirit from the LORD came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:11 - Saul sent men to David's house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, “If you don't run for your life tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:13 - Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats' hair at the head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:16 - But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats' hair.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:24 - He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel's presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:6 - If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:7 - If he says, ‘Very well,' then your servant is safe. But if he loses his temper, you can be sure that he is determined to harm me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:25 - He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan,[fn] and Abner sat next to Saul, but David's place was empty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:27 - But the next day, the second day of the month, David's place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:28 - Jonathan answered, “David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:33 - But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:34 - Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father's shameful treatment of David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:35 - In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:38 - Then he shouted, “Hurry! Go quickly! Don't stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:40 - Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, “Go, carry them back to town.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:41 - After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together—but David wept the most.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:1 - David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:11 - But the servants of Achish said to him, “Isn't this David, the king of the land? Isn't he the one they sing about in their dances: “ ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:12 - David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:13 - So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:14 - Achish said to his servants, “Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:1 - David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's household heard about it, they went down to him there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:2 - All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:4 - So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:6 - Now Saul heard that David and his men had been discovered. And Saul was seated, spear in hand, under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with all his officials standing at his side.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:7 - He said to them, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:11 - Then the king sent for the priest Ahimelek son of Ahitub and all the men of his family, who were the priests at Nob, and they all came to the king.
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 23:5 - So David and his men went to Keilah, fought the Philistines and carried off their livestock. He inflicted heavy losses on the Philistines and saved the people of Keilah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:6 - (Now Abiathar son of Ahimelek had brought the ephod down with him when he fled to David at Keilah.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:8 - And Saul called up all his forces for battle, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:9 - When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:13 - So David and his men, about six hundred in number, left Keilah and kept moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he did not go there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:14 - David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God did not give David into his hands.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:16 - And Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:18 - The two of them made a covenant before the LORD. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:22 - Go and get more information. Find out where David usually goes and who has seen him there. They tell me he is very crafty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:24 - So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Desert of Maon, in the Arabah south of Jeshimon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:25 - Saul and his men began the search, and when David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Desert of Maon. When Saul heard this, he went into the Desert of Maon in pursuit of David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:26 - Saul was going along one side of the mountain, and David and his men were on the other side, hurrying to get away from Saul. As Saul and his forces were closing in on David and his men to capture them,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:2 - So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:3 - He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave was there, and Saul went in to relieve himself. David and his men were far back in the cave.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:5 - Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:6 - He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - With these words David sharply rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:8 - Then David went out of the cave and called out to Saul, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:16 - When David finished saying this, Saul asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” And he wept aloud.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:19 - When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the LORD reward you well for the way you treated me today.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:22 - So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:1 - Now Samuel died, and all Israel assembled and mourned for him; and they buried him at his home in Ramah. Then David moved down into the Desert of Paran.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:2 - A certain man in Maon, who had property there at Carmel, was very wealthy. He had a thousand goats and three thousand sheep, which he was shearing in Carmel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:3 - His name was Nabal and his wife's name was Abigail. She was an intelligent and beautiful woman, but her husband was surly and mean in his dealings—he was a Calebite.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:4 - While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:10 - Nabal answered David's servants, “Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:13 - David said to his men, “Each of you strap on your sword!” So they did, and David strapped his on as well. About four hundred men went up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
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 25:20 - As she came riding her donkey into a mountain ravine, there were David and his men descending toward her, and she met them.
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 25:24 - She fell at his feet and said: “Pardon your servant, my lord, and let me speak to you; hear what your servant has to say.
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 25:36 - 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 25:37 - Then in the morning, when Nabal was sober, his wife told him all these things, and his heart failed him and he became like a stone.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:39 - When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise be to the LORD, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal's wrongdoing down on his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:44 - But Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Paltiel[fn] son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:2 - So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand select Israelite troops, to search there for David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:3 - Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:5 - Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:7 - So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:9 - But David said to Abishai, “Don't destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the LORD's anointed and be guiltless?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:10 - As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “the LORD himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:11 - But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD's anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let's go.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:12 - So David took the spear and water jug near Saul's head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 - 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 26:18 - And he added, “Why is my lord pursuing his servant? What have I done, and what wrong am I guilty of?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:19 - Now let my lord the king listen to his servant's words. If the LORD has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering. If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the LORD! They have driven me today from my share in the LORD's inheritance and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 - 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 26:25 - Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.
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 27:2 - So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maok king of Gath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:3 - David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:8 - Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)
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 27:12 - Achish trusted David and said to himself, “He has become so obnoxious to his people, the Israelites, that he will be my servant for life.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:3 - Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:5 - When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:7 - Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.” “There is one in Endor,” they said.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:8 - So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:14 - “What does he look like?” he asked. “An old man wearing a robe is coming up,” she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.
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 28:23 - 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 28:25 - Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:2 - As the Philistine rulers marched with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were marching at the rear with Achish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:4 - But the Philistine commanders were angry with Achish and said, “Send the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He must not go with us into battle, or he will turn against us during the fighting. How better could he regain his master's favor than by taking the heads of our own men?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:5 - Isn't this the David they sang about in their dances: “ ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:11 - So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:1 - David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:3 - When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:4 - So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:6 - David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:9 - David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Valley, where some stayed behind.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:12 - part of a cake of pressed figs and two cakes of raisins. He ate and was revived, for he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and three nights.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:18 - David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:21 - Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him and who were left behind at the Besor Valley. They came out to meet David and the men with him. As David and his men approached, he asked them how they were.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:22 - But all the evil men and troublemakers among David's followers said, “Because they did not go out with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered. However, each man may take his wife and children and go.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:26 - When David reached Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, who were his friends, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD's enemies.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:31 - and Hebron; and to those in all the other places where he and his men had roamed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:2 - The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua.
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 Box1Sa 31:5 - When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:6 - So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:7 - When the Israelites along the valley and those across the Jordan saw that the Israelite army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:8 - The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:9 - They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and they sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:10 - They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:12 - all their valiant men marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:2 - On the third day a man arrived from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground to pay him honor.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:4 - “What happened?” David asked. “Tell me.” “The men fled from the battle,” he replied. “Many of them fell and died. And Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:5 - Then David said to the young man who brought him the report, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:6 - “I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” the young man said, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear, with the chariots and their drivers in hot pursuit.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:7 - When he turned around and saw me, he called out to me, and I said, ‘What can I do?'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:10 - “So I stood beside him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:11 - Then David and all the men with him took hold of their clothes and tore them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:12 - They mourned and wept and fasted till evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the LORD and for the nation of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:15 - Then David called one of his men and said, “Go, strike him down!” So he struck him down, and he died.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:17 - David took up this lament concerning Saul and his son Jonathan,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:2 - So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:3 - David also took the men who were with him, each with his family, and they settled in Hebron and its towns.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:5 - he sent messengers to them to say to them, “The LORD bless you for showing this kindness to Saul your master by burying him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:16 - Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his dagger into his opponent's side, and they fell down together. So that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:18 - The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai and Asahel. Now Asahel was as fleet-footed as a wild gazelle.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:14 - Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:8 - The LORD has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The LORD has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:9 - Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:11 - David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:12 - It may be that the LORD will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:13 - So David and his men continued along the road while Shimei was going along the hillside opposite him, cursing as he went and throwing stones at him and showering him with dirt.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:14 - The king and all the people with him arrived at their destination exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:15 - Meanwhile, Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:18 - Hushai said to Absalom, “No, the one chosen by the LORD, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:19 - Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve the son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:21 - Ahithophel answered, “Sleep with your father's concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:22 - So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:2 - I would attack him while he is weary and weak. I would strike him with terror, and then all the people with him will flee. I would strike down only the king
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:5 - But Absalom said, “Summon also Hushai the Arkite, so we can hear what he has to say as well.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:6 - When Hushai came to him, Absalom said, “Ahithophel has given this advice. Should we do what he says? If not, give us your opinion.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:8 - You know your father and his men; they are fighters, and as fierce as a wild bear robbed of her cubs. Besides, your father is an experienced fighter; he will not spend the night with the troops.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:10 - Then even the bravest soldier, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a fighter and that those with him are brave.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:12 - Then we will attack him wherever he may be found, and we will fall on him as dew settles on the ground. Neither he nor any of his men will be left alive.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:16 - Now send a message at once and tell David, ‘Do not spend the night at the fords in the wilderness; cross over without fail, or the king and all the people with him will be swallowed up.' ”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:22 - So David and all the people with him set out and crossed the Jordan. By daybreak, no one was left who had not crossed the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:23 - When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He put his house in order and then hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father's tomb.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:24 - David went to Mahanaim, and Absalom crossed the Jordan with all the men of Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:29 - honey and curds, sheep, and cheese from cows' milk for David and his people to eat. For they said, “The people have become exhausted and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:1 - David mustered the men who were with him and appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:9 - Now Absalom happened to meet David's men. He was riding his mule, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom's hair got caught in the tree. He was left hanging in midair, while the mule he was riding kept on going.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:13 - And if I had put my life in jeopardy[fn]—and nothing is hidden from the king—you would have kept your distance from me.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:14 - Joab said, “I'm not going to wait like this for you.” So he took three javelins in his hand and plunged them into Absalom's heart while Absalom was still alive in the oak tree.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:17 - They took Absalom, threw him into a big pit in the forest and piled up a large heap of rocks over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled to their homes.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:22 - for those two will send sudden destruction on them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:31 - thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:5 - remove wicked officials from the king's presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:18 - Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:22 - In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:5 - Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:12 - Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:14 - As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:15 - A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:25 - Though their speech is charming, do not believe them, for seven abominations fill their hearts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 27:13 - Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 27:15 - A quarrelsome wife is like the dripping of a leaky roof in a rainstorm;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 27:22 - Though you grind a fool in a mortar, grinding them like grain with a pestle, you will not remove their folly from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:8 - Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:9 - If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:11 - The rich are wise in their own eyes; one who is poor and discerning sees how deluded they are.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:22 - The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:27 - Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:1 - Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:3 - A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:10 - The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to kill the upright.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:11 - Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:14 - If a king judges the poor with fairness, his throne will be established forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:15 - A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:20 - Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:4 - Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:6 - Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:12 - those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:13 - those whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:1 - The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:3 - What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:5 - The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:6 - The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:14 - The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.
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 2:22 - What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:23 - All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.
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 2:25 - for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:26 - To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[fn] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
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 3:13 - That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.
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 4:4 - And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:5 - Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves.
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 4:10 - If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:12 - Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:14 - The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:15 - I saw that all who lived and walked under the sun followed the youth, the king's successor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:11 - As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:13 - I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
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 5:15 - Everyone comes naked from their mother's womb, and as everyone comes, so they depart. They take nothing from their toil that they can carry in their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:17 - All their days they eat in darkness, with great frustration, affliction and anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:19 - Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:20 - They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.
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 6:4 - It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:7 - Everyone's toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:10 - Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend with someone who is stronger.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:1 - A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:2 - It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:7 - Extortion turns a wise person into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:8 - The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:14 - When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:15 - In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:1 - Who is like the wise? Who knows the explanation of things? A person's wisdom brightens their face and changes its hard appearance.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:3 - Do not be in a hurry to leave the king's presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:12 - Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
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 9:12 - 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 9:16 - So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:2 - The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:3 - Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:13 - At the beginning their words are folly; at the end they are wicked madness—
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 12:5 - when people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:13 - Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:2 - She[fn]: Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:4 - Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. Friends: We rejoice and delight in you[fn]; we will praise your love more than wine. She: How right they are to adore you!
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:12 - She: While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:3 - She: Like an apple[fn] tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:6 - His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:8 - all of them wearing the sword, all experienced in battle, each with his sword at his side, prepared for the terrors of the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:11 - come out, and look, you daughters of Zion. Look[fn] on King Solomon wearing a crown, the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, the day his heart rejoiced.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:16 - She: Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:4 - My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:6 - I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure.[fn] I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:11 - His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:12 - His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:13 - His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:14 - His arms are rods of gold set with topaz. His body is like polished ivory decorated with lapis lazuli.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:15 - His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:16 - His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:2 - She: My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to browse in the gardens and to gather lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:8 - I said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples,
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:10 - I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:3 - His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:7 - Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If one were to give all the wealth of one's house for love, it[fn] would be utterly scorned.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:10 - She: I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:11 - Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon; he let out his vineyard to tenants. Each was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels[fn] of silver.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:12 - But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon, and two hundred[fn] are for those who tend its fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:3 - The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:3 - Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:6 - You, LORD, have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and embrace pagan customs.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:10 - Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:19 - People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:14 - The LORD enters into judgment against the elders and leaders of his people: “It is you who have ruined my vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:25 - Therefore the LORD's anger burns against his people; his hand is raised and he strikes them down. The mountains shake, and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 6:1 - In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:19 - When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:20 - Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:6 - For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:28 - They enter Aiath; they pass through Migron; they store supplies at Mikmash.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:4 - but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:32 - What answer shall be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:5 - In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it— one from the house[fn] of David— one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:2 - which sends envoys by sea in papyrus boats over the water. Go, swift messengers, to a people tall and smooth-skinned, to a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:7 - At that time gifts will be brought to the LORD Almighty from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers— the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD Almighty.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:21 - The LORD will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim, he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon— to do his work, his strange work, and perform his task, his alien task.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:8 - as when a hungry person dreams of eating, but awakens hungry still; as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking, but awakens faint and thirsty still. So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.
