2CH-23:15 So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to

the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew

her there. <come> <entering> <gate> <hands> <horse> <house>

2CH-23:16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between

all the people, and between the king, that they should be the

LORD'S people. <all> <between> <covenant> <him> <jehoiada>

2CH-23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and

brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces,

and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. <all>

2CH-23:18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of

the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had

distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt

offerings of the LORD, as [it is] written in the law of Moses,

with rejoicing and with singing, [as it was ordained] by David.

2CH-23:19 And he set the porters at the gates of the house of

the LORD, that none [which was] unclean in any thing should

enter in. <any> <enter> <gates> <house> <lord> <none> <porters>

2CH-23:20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles,

and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land,

and brought down the king from the house of the LORD:and they

came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the

king upon the throne of the kingdom. <all> <brought> <came>

2CH-23:21 And all the people of the land rejoiced:and the city

was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

2CH-24:1 Joash [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and

he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also

[was] Zibiah of Beersheba. <also> <beersheba> <began> <forty>

2CH-24:2 And Joash did [that which was] right in the sight of

the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest. <all> <days> <did>

2CH-24:3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons

and daughters. <begat> <daughters> <him> <jehoiada> <sons>

2CH-24:4 And it came to pass after this, [that] Joash was minded

to repair the house of the LORD. <after> <came> <house> <joash>

2CH-24:5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites,

and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of

all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to

year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites

hastened [it] not. <all> <cities> <gather> <gathered> <go> <god>

2CH-24:6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said

unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in

out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, [according to

the commandment] of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the

congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness? <bring>

2CH-24:7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken

up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the

house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim. <all> <also>

2CH-24:8 And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and

set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD. <chest>

2CH-24:9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and

Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [that] Moses

the servant of God [laid] upon Israel in the wilderness. <bring>

2CH-24:10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and

brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

2CH-24:11 Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was

brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and

when they saw that [there was] much money, the king's scribe and

the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took

it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day,

and gathered money in abundance. <again> <brought> <came>

2CH-24:12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the

work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons

and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as

wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD. <also>

2CH-24:13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by

them, and they set the house of God in his state, and

strengthened it. <god> <house> <perfected> <set> <so> <state>

2CH-24:14 And when they had finished [it], they brought the rest

of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made

vessels for the house of the LORD, [even] vessels to minister,

and to offer [withal], and spoons, and vessels of gold and

silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the

LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada. <all> <before>

2CH-24:15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he

died; an hundred and thirty years old [was he] when he died.

2CH-24:16 And they buried him in the city of David among the

kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and

toward his house. <among> <because> <both> <buried> <city>

2CH-24:17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of

Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened

unto them. <after> <came> <death> <hearkened> <jehoiada> <judah>

2CH-24:18 And they left the house of the LORD God of their

fathers, and served groves and idols:and wrath came upon Judah

and Jerusalem for this their trespass. <came> <fathers> <god>

2CH-24:19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto

the LORD; and they testified against them:but they would not

give ear. <again> <against> <bring> <ear> <give> <lord>

2CH-24:20 And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of

Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto

them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the

LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD,

he hath also forsaken you. <also> <because> <came> <cannot>

2CH-24:21 And they conspired against him, and stoned him with

stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house

of the LORD. <against> <commandment> <conspired> <court> <him>

2CH-24:22 Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which

Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when

he died, he said, The LORD look upon [it], and require [it].

2CH-24:23 And it came to pass at the end of the year, [that] the

host of Syria came up against him:and they came to Judah and

Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from

among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king

of Damascus. <against> <all> <among> <came> <damascus>

2CH-24:24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company

of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand,

because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So

they executed judgment against Joash. <against> <army> <because>

2CH-24:25 And when they were departed from him, (for they left

him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him

for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him

on his bed, and he died:and they buried him in the city of David,

but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.

2CH-24:26 And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad

the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of

Shimrith a Moabitess. <against> <ammonitess> <are> <conspired>

2CH-24:27 Now [concerning] his sons, and the greatness of the

burdens [laid] upon him, and the repairing of the house of God,

behold, they [are] written in the story of the book of the kings.

And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead. <amaziah> <behold>

2CH-25:1 Amaziah [was] twenty and five years old [when] he began

to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And

his mother's name [was] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. <amaziah>

2CH-25:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD, but not with a perfect heart. <did> <heart> <lord>

2CH-25:3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established

to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his

father. <came> <established> <father> <had> <him> <killed>

2CH-25:4 But he slew not their children, but [did] as [it is]

written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD

commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children,

neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man

shall die for his own sin. <book> <children> <commanded> <die>

2CH-25:5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them

captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according

to the houses of [their] fathers, throughout all Judah and

Benjamin:and he numbered them from twenty years old and above,

and found them three hundred thousand choice [men, able] to go

forth to war, that could handle spear and shield. <all>

2CH-25:6 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour

out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver. <also> <hired>

2CH-25:7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let

not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD [is] not with

Israel, [to wit, with] all the children of Ephraim. <all> <army>

2CH-25:8 But if thou wilt go, do [it], be strong for the battle:

God shall make thee fall before the enemy:for God hath power to

help, and to cast down. <battle> <before> <cast> <do> <down>

<wilt>

2CH-25:9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we

do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of

Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give

thee much more than this. <amaziah> <answered> <army> <do>

2CH-25:10 Then Amaziah separated them, [to wit], the army that

was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again:wherefore their

anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home

in great anger. <again> <against> <amaziah> <anger> <army>

2CH-25:11 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his

people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the

children of Seir ten thousand. <amaziah> <children> <forth>

2CH-25:12 And [other] ten thousand [left] alive did the children

of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of

the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they

all were broken in pieces. <alive> <all> <away> <broken>

2CH-25:13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back,

that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities

of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three

thousand of them, and took much spoil. <amaziah> <army> <back>

2CH-25:14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from

the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the

children of Seir, and set them up [to be] his gods, and bowed

down himself before them, and burned incense unto them. <after>

2CH-25:15 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against

Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him,

Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could

not deliver their own people out of thine hand? <after>

2CH-25:16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the

king] said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel?

forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare,

and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee,

because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my

counsel. <art> <because> <came> <counsel> <destroy> <determined>

2CH-25:17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to

Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel,

saying, Come, let us see one another in the face. <advice>

2CH-25:18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah,

saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar

that [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to

wife:and there passed by a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon, and

trode down the thistle. <amaziah> <beast> <cedar> <daughter>

2CH-25:19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and

thine heart lifteth thee up to boast:abide now at home; why

shouldest thou meddle to [thine] hurt, that thou shouldest fall,

[even] thou, and Judah with thee? <boast> <edomites> <fall>

2CH-25:20 But Amaziah would not hear; for it [came] of God, that

he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because

they sought after the gods of Edom. <after> <amaziah> <because>

2CH-25:21 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one

another in the face, [both] he and Amaziah king of Judah, at

Bethshemesh, which [belongeth] to Judah. <amaziah> <another>

2CH-25:22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they

fled every man to his tent. <before> <every> <fled> <israel>

2CH-25:23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of

Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh,

and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of

Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four

hundred cubits. <amaziah> <bethshemesh> <brake> <brought>

2CH-25:24 And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all the

vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and

the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and

returned to Samaria. <all> <also> <found> <god> <gold>

2CH-25:25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after

the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.

2CH-25:26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last,

behold, [are] they not written in the book of the kings of Judah

and Israel? <amaziah> <behold> <book> <first> <judah> <kings>

2CH-25:27 Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from

following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in

Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish:but they sent to Lachish after

him, and slew him there. <after> <against> <amaziah> <away>

2CH-25:28 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with

his fathers in the city of Judah. <brought> <buried> <city>

2CH-26:1 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who [was]

sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father

Amaziah. <all> <amaziah> <father> <him> <judah> <king> <made>

<years>

2CH-26:2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that

the king slept with his fathers. <after> <built> <eloth>

2CH-26:3 Sixteen years old [was] Uzziah when he began to reign,

and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's

name also [was] Jecoliah of Jerusalem. <also> <began> <fifty>

2CH-26:4 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did. <all>

2CH-26:5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had

understanding in the visions of God:and as long as he sought the

LORD, God made him to prosper. <days> <god> <had> <him> <long>

2CH-26:6 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines,

and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the

wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the

Philistines. <against> <among> <ashdod> <brake> <built> <cities>

<went>

2CH-26:7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against

the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims. <against>

2CH-26:8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah:and his name

spread abroad [even] to the entering in of Egypt; for he

strengthened [himself] exceedingly. <ammonites> <egypt>

2CH-26:9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner

gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning [of the wall],

and fortified them. <built> <corner> <fortified> <gate>

2CH-26:10 Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many

wells:for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in

the plains:husbandmen [also], and vine dressers in the mountains,

and in Carmel:for he loved husbandry. <also> <both> <built>

2CH-26:11 Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went

out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by

the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the

hand of Hananiah, [one] of the king's captains. <bands>

2CH-26:12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the

mighty men of valour [were] two thousand and six hundred.

2CH-26:13 And under their hand [was] an army, three hundred

thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with

mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. <against>

2CH-26:14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host

shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and

slings [to cast] stones. <all> <bows> <cast> <habergeons>

2CH-26:15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning

men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows

and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he

was marvellously helped, till he was strong. <arrows> <bulwarks>

2CH-26:16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to

[his] destruction:for he transgressed against the LORD his God,

and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the

altar of incense. <against> <altar> <burn> <destruction> <god>

2CH-26:17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him

fourscore priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men:<after>

2CH-26:18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him,

[It appertaineth] not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto

the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are

consecrated to burn incense:go out of the sanctuary; for thou

hast trespassed; neither [shall it be] for thine honour from the

LORD God. <appertaineth> <are> <burn> <consecrated> <go> <god>

2CH-26:19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and [had] a censer in his hand

to burn incense:and while he was wroth with the priests, the

leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the

house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar. <altar>

2CH-26:20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests,

looked upon him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead,

and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to

go out, because the LORD had smitten him. <all> <also> <azariah>

2CH-26:21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his

death, and dwelt in a several house, [being] a leper; for he was

cut off from the house of the LORD:and Jotham his son [was] over

the king's house, judging the people of the land. <cut> <day>

2CH-26:22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last,

did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. <amoz> <did>

<write>

2CH-26:23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him

with his fathers in the field of the burial which [belonged] to

the kings; for they said, He [is] a leper:and Jotham his son

reigned in his stead. <burial> <buried> <fathers> <field> <him>

2CH-27:1 Jotham [was] twenty and five years old when he began to

reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's

name also [was] Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok. <also> <began>

2CH-27:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did:howbeit he

entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet

corruptly. <all> <corruptly> <did> <entered> <father> <howbeit>

<yet>

2CH-27:3 He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on

the wall of Ophel he built much. <built> <gate> <high> <house>

2CH-27:4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and

in the forests he built castles and towers. <built> <castles>

2CH-27:5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and

prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the

same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand

measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the

children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the

third. <against> <also> <ammon> <ammonites> <barley> <both>

2CH-27:6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways

before the LORD his God. <became> <because> <before> <god>

2CH-27:7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars,

and his ways, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of

Israel and Judah. <all> <book> <israel> <jotham> <judah> <kings>

2CH-27:8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign,

and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. <began> <five>

<years>

2CH-27:9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him

in the city of David:and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

2CH-28:1 Ahaz [was] twenty years old when he began to reign, and

he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem:but he did not [that which

was] right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:

2CH-28:2 For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and

made also molten images for Baalim. <also> <baalim> <images>

2CH-28:3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of

Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the

abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before

the children of Israel. <after> <before> <burnt> <cast>

2CH-28:4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places,

and on the hills, and under every green tree. <also> <burnt>

2CH-28:5 Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand

of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a

great multitude of them captives, and brought [them] to Damascus.

And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel,

who smote him with a great slaughter. <also> <away> <brought>

2CH-28:6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred

and twenty thousand in one day, [which were] all valiant men;

because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. <all>

2CH-28:7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the

king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah

[that was] next to the king. <azrikam> <elkanah> <ephraim>

2CH-28:8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of

their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters,

and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil

to Samaria. <also> <away> <brethren> <brought> <captive>

2CH-28:9 But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name [was]

Oded:and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and

said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was

wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye

have slain them in a rage [that] reacheth up unto heaven.

2CH-28:10 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah

and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you:[but are there]

not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?

2CH-28:11 Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again,

which ye have taken captive of your brethren:for the fierce

wrath of the LORD [is] upon you. <again> <brethren> <captive>

2CH-28:12 Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim,

Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth,

and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai,

stood up against them that came from the war, <against> <amasa>

2CH-28:13 And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives

hither:for whereas we have offended against the LORD [already],

ye intend to add [more] to our sins and to our trespass:for our

trespass is great, and [there is] fierce wrath against Israel.

2CH-28:14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil

before the princes and all the congregation. <all> <armed>

<spoil>

2CH-28:15 And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and

took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were

naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them

to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the

feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city

of palm trees, to their brethren:then they returned to Samaria.

<with>

2CH-28:16 At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of

Assyria to help him. <ahaz> <assyria> <did> <help> <him> <king>

2CH-28:17 For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and

carried away captives. <again> <away> <captives> <carried>

2CH-28:18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low

country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh,

and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof,

and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the

villages thereof:and they dwelt there. <ajalon> <also>

2CH-28:19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of

Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against

the LORD. <against> <ahaz> <because> <brought> <israel> <judah>

2CH-28:20 And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and

distressed him, but strengthened him not. <assyria> <came>

2CH-28:21 For Ahaz took away a portion [out] of the house of the

LORD, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes,

and gave [it] unto the king of Assyria:but he helped him not.

2CH-28:22 And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet

more against the LORD:this [is that] king Ahaz. <against> <ahaz>

<yet>

2CH-28:23 For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which

smote him:and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria

help them, [therefore] will I sacrifice to them, that they may

help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. <all>

<will>

2CH-28:24 And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of

God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut

up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in

every corner of Jerusalem. <ahaz> <altars> <corner> <cut>

2CH-28:25 And in every several city of Judah he made high places

to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD

God of his fathers. <anger> <burn> <city> <every> <fathers>

2CH-28:26 Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first

and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of the kings of

Judah and Israel. <all> <behold> <book> <first> <israel> <judah>

2CH-28:27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him

in the city, [even] in Jerusalem:but they brought him not into

the sepulchres of the kings of Israel:and Hezekiah his son

reigned in his stead. <ahaz> <brought> <buried> <city> <fathers>

2CH-29:1 Hezekiah began to reign [when he was] five and twenty

years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem.

And his mother's name [was] Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

2CH-29:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD, according to all that David his father had done. <all>

<which>

2CH-29:3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month,

opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

2CH-29:4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and

gathered them together into the east street, <brought> <east>

2CH-29:5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now

yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your

fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy [place].

2CH-29:6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done [that which

was] evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him,

and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the

LORD, and turned [their] backs. <away> <backs> <done> <evil>

2CH-29:7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put

out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt

offerings in the holy [place] unto the God of Israel. <also>

2CH-29:8 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and

Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to

astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

2CH-29:9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our

sons and our daughters and our wives [are] in captivity for this.

2CH-29:10 Now [it is] in mine heart to make a covenant with the

LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

2CH-29:11 My sons, be not now negligent:for the LORD hath chosen

you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should

minister unto him, and burn incense. <before> <burn> <chosen>

2CH-29:12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and

Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites:and of

the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of

Jehalelel:and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and

Eden the son of Joah:<amasai> <arose> <azariah> <eden>

2CH-29:13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel:and of

the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:<asaph> <elizaphan>

2CH-29:14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei:and of

the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel. <heman> <jeduthun>

2CH-29:15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified

themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king,

by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

2CH-29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house

of the LORD, to cleanse [it], and brought out all the

uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the

court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took [it], to

carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron. <all> <brook>

2CH-29:17 Now they began on the first [day] of the first month

to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the

porch of the LORD:so they sanctified the house of the LORD in

eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they

made an end. <began> <came> <day> <days> <eight> <eighth> <end>

2CH-29:18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We

have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt

offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the showbread table,

with all the vessels thereof. <all> <altar> <burnt> <cleansed>

2CH-29:19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign

did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and

sanctified, and, behold, they [are] before the altar of the LORD.

2CH-29:20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the

rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD. <city>

2CH-29:21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and

seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the

kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded

the priests the sons of Aaron to offer [them] on the altar of

the LORD. <altar> <brought> <bullocks> <commanded> <goats>

2CH-29:22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received

the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the altar:likewise, when they

had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar:

they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon

the altar. <also> <altar> <blood> <bullocks> <had> <killed>

2CH-29:23 And they brought forth the he goats [for] the sin

offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid

their hands upon them:<before> <brought> <congregation> <forth>

2CH-29:24 And the priests killed them, and they made

reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an

atonement for all Israel:for the king commanded [that] the burnt

offering and the sin offering [should be made] for all Israel.

2CH-29:25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with

cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the

commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the

prophet:for [so was] the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

<with>

2CH-29:26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David,

and the priests with the trumpets. <david> <instruments>

2CH-29:27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering

upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of

the LORD began [also] with the trumpets, and with the

instruments [ordained] by David king of Israel. <altar> <began>

2CH-29:28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers

sang, and the trumpeters sounded:[and] all [this continued]

until the burnt offering was finished. <all> <burnt>

2CH-29:29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king

and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and

worshipped. <all> <bowed> <end> <had> <him> <king> <made>

2CH-29:30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded

the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David,

and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and

they bowed their heads and worshipped. <asaph> <bowed>

2CH-29:31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have

consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring

sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And

the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and

as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings. <answered>

2CH-29:32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the

congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an

hundred rams, [and] two hundred lambs:all these [were] for a

burnt offering to the LORD. <all> <brought> <bullocks> <burnt>

2CH-29:33 And the consecrated things [were] six hundred oxen and

three thousand sheep. <consecrated> <hundred> <oxen> <sheep>

2CH-29:34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not

flay all the burnt offerings:wherefore their brethren the

Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the

[other] priests had sanctified themselves:for the Levites [were]

more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

2CH-29:35 And also the burnt offerings [were] in abundance, with

the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for

[every] burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD

was set in order. <also> <burnt> <drink> <fat> <house> <lord>

<with>

2CH-29:36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God

had prepared the people:for the thing was [done] suddenly. <all>

<thing>

2CH-30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote

letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to

the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto

the LORD God of Israel. <all> <also> <come> <ephraim> <god>

2CH-30:2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and

all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the

second month. <all> <congregation> <counsel> <had> <jerusalem>

2CH-30:3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the

priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had

the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. <because>

2CH-30:4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

2CH-30:5 So they established a decree to make proclamation

throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they

should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at

Jerusalem:for they had not done [it] of a long [time in such

sort] as it was written. <all> <beersheba> <come> <dan> <decree>

2CH-30:6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and

his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to

the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn

again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he

will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the

hand of the kings of Assyria. <again> <all> <are> <assyria>

2CH-30:7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren,

which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who]

therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see. <against>

2CH-30:8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but]

yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary,

which he hath sanctified for ever:and serve the LORD your God,

that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. <away>

2CH-30:9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and

your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them

captive, so that they shall come again into this land:for the

LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away

[his] face from you, if ye return unto him. <again> <away>

2CH-30:10 So the posts passed from city to city through the

country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun:but they

laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. <city> <country>

2CH-30:11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of

Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. <asher>

2CH-30:12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one

heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by

the word of the LORD. <also> <commandment> <do> <give> <god>

2CH-30:13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep

the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great

congregation. <assembled> <bread> <congregation> <feast> <great>

2CH-30:14 And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in

Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and

cast [them] into the brook Kidron. <all> <altars> <arose> <away>

2CH-30:15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day]

of the second month:and the priests and the Levites were ashamed,

and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings

into the house of the LORD. <ashamed> <brought> <burnt>

2CH-30:16 And they stood in their place after their manner,

according to the law of Moses the man of God:the priests

sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hand of the

Levites. <after> <blood> <god> <hand> <law> <levites> <man>

2CH-30:17 For [there were] many in the congregation that were

not sanctified:therefore the Levites had the charge of the

killing of the passovers for every one [that was] not clean, to

sanctify [them] unto the LORD. <charge> <clean> <congregation>

2CH-30:18 For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim,

and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves,

yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written.

But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every

one <cleansed> <did> <eat> <ephraim> <every> <good> <had>

2CH-30:19 [That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God

of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the

purification of the sanctuary. <fathers> <god> <heart> <lord>

2CH-30:20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the

people. <healed> <hearkened> <hezekiah> <lord> <people>

2CH-30:21 And the children of Israel that were present at

Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with

great gladness:and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD

day by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto the LORD.

2CH-30:22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites

that taught the good knowledge of the LORD:and they did eat

throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and

making confession to the LORD God of their fathers. <all>

2CH-30:23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other

seven days:and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.

2CH-30:24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the

congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and

the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten

thousand sheep:and a great number of priests sanctified

themselves. <bullocks> <congregation> <did> <gave> <give>

2CH-30:25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests

and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of

Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel,

and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. <all> <came> <congregation>

2CH-30:26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem:for since the time

of Solomon the son of David king of Israel [there was] not the

like in Jerusalem. <david> <great> <israel> <jerusalem> <joy>

2CH-30:27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the

people:and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to

his holy dwelling place, [even] unto heaven. <arose> <blessed>

2CH-31:1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were

present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in

pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places

and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also

and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then

all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession,

into their own cities. <all> <also> <altars> <benjamin> <brake>

2CH-31:2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and

the Levites after their courses, every man according to his

service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for

peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise

in the gates of the tents of the LORD. <after> <appointed>

2CH-31:3 [He appointed] also the king's portion of his substance

for the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening

burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and

for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as [it is] written in

the law of the LORD. <also> <appointed> <burnt> <evening>

2CH-31:4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in

Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites,

that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.

2CH-31:5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the

children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn,

wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field;

and the tithe of all [things] brought they in abundantly. <all>

<wine>

2CH-31:6 And [concerning] the children of Israel and Judah, that

dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of

oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were

consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid [them] by heaps.

2CH-31:7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of

the heaps, and finished [them] in the seventh month. <began>

2CH-31:8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the

heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel. <blessed>

2CH-31:9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the

Levites concerning the heaps. <concerning> <heaps> <hezekiah>

2CH-31:10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok

answered him, and said, Since [the people] began to bring the

offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat,

and have left plenty:for the LORD hath blessed his people; and

that which is left [is] this great store. <answered> <azariah>

<zadok>

2CH-31:11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the

house of the LORD; and they prepared [them], <chambers>

2CH-31:12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the

dedicated [things] faithfully:over which Cononiah the Levite

[was] ruler, and Shimei his brother [was] the next. <brother>

2CH-31:13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and

Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and

Benaiah, [were] overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei

his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and

Azariah the ruler of the house of God. <asahel> <azariah>

<under>

2CH-31:14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter

toward the east, [was] over the freewill offerings of God, to

distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.

2CH-31:15 And next him [were] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua,

and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the

priests, in [their] set office, to give to their brethren by

courses, as well to the great as to the small:<amariah>

2CH-31:16 Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old

and upward, [even] unto every one that entereth into the house

of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their

charges according to their courses; <beside> <charges> <daily>

2CH-31:17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of

their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward,

in their charges by their courses; <both> <charges> <fathers>

<years>

2CH-31:18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their

wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the

congregation:for in their set office they sanctified themselves

in holiness:<all> <congregation> <daughters> <genealogy>

2CH-31:19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, [which were] in

the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city,

the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all

the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by

genealogies among the Levites. <all> <also> <among> <cities>

2CH-31:20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and

wrought [that which was] good and right and truth before the

LORD his God. <all> <before> <did> <god> <good> <hezekiah>

2CH-31:21 And in every work that he began in the service of the

house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek

his God, he did [it] with all his heart, and prospered. <all>

2CH-32:1 After these things, and the establishment thereof,

Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and

encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for

himself. <after> <against> <assyria> <came> <cities> <encamped>

2CH-32:2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and

that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, <against>

2CH-32:3 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to

stop the waters of the fountains which [were] without the city:

and they did help him. <city> <counsel> <did> <fountains> <help>

2CH-32:4 So there was gathered much people together, who stopped

all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of

the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find

much water? <all> <assyria> <brook> <come> <find> <fountains>

2CH-32:5 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall

that was broken, and raised [it] up to the towers, and another

wall without, and repaired Millo [in] the city of David, and

made darts and shields in abundance. <all> <also> <another>

2CH-32:6 And he set captains of war over the people, and

gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the

city, and spake comfortably to them, saying, <captains> <city>

2CH-32:7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed

for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that [is]

with him:for [there be] more with us than with him:<afraid>

2CH-32:8 With him [is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the

LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the

people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of

Judah. <arm> <battles> <fight> <flesh> <god> <help> <hezekiah>

2CH-32:9 After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his

servants to Jerusalem, (but he [himself laid siege] against

Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of

Judah, and unto all Judah that [were] at Jerusalem, saying,

2CH-32:10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye

trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem? <assyria> <do>

2CH-32:11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves

to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall

deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria? <deliver>

2CH-32:12 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places

and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye

shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

2CH-32:13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all

the people of [other] lands? were the gods of the nations of

those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine

hand? <all> <any> <deliver> <done> <fathers> <gods> <have>

2CH-32:14 Who [was there] among all the gods of those nations

that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people

out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you

out of mine hand? <all> <among> <could> <deliver> <destroyed>

2CH-32:15 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor

persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him:for no god

of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of

mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers:how much less shall

your God deliver you out of mine hand? <any> <believe> <deceive>

2CH-32:16 And his servants spake yet [more] against the LORD God,

and against his servant Hezekiah. <against> <god> <hezekiah>

2CH-32:17 He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of

Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the

nations of [other] lands have not delivered their people out of

mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people

out of mine hand. <against> <also> <deliver> <delivered> <god>

2CH-32:18 Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech

unto the people of Jerusalem that [were] on the wall, to

affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the

city. <affright> <city> <cried> <jerusalem> <loud> <might> <on>

2CH-32:19 And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as

against the gods of the people of the earth, [which were] the

work of the hands of man. <against> <earth> <god> <gods> <hands>

2CH-32:20 And for this [cause] Hezekiah the king, and the

prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

2CH-32:21 And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the

mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp

of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his

own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they

that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

<with>

2CH-32:22 Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of

Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and

from the hand of all [other], and guided them on every side.

<thus>

2CH-32:23 And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and

presents to Hezekiah king of Judah:so that he was magnified in

the sight of all nations from thenceforth. <all> <brought>

2CH-32:24 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and

prayed unto the LORD:and he spake unto him, and he gave him a

sign. <days> <death> <gave> <hezekiah> <him> <lord> <prayed>

2CH-32:25 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the

benefit [done] unto him; for his heart was lifted up:therefore

there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. <again>

2CH-32:26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride

of his heart, [both] he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so

that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of

Hezekiah. <came> <days> <heart> <hezekiah> <himself> <humbled>

<wrath>

2CH-32:27 And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour:and

he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for

precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all

manner of pleasant jewels; <all> <exceeding> <gold> <had>

2CH-32:28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine,

and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for

flocks. <all> <also> <beasts> <corn> <cotes> <flocks> <increase>

2CH-32:29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of

flocks and herds in abundance:for God had given him substance

very much. <cities> <flocks> <given> <god> <had> <herds> <him>

2CH-32:30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse

of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the

city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. <all>

2CH-32:31 Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the

princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder

that was [done] in the land, God left him, to try him, that he

might know all [that was] in his heart. <all> <ambassadors>

2CH-32:32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness,

behold, they [are] written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet,

the son of Amoz, [and] in the book of the kings of Judah and

Israel. <amoz> <behold> <book> <goodness> <hezekiah> <isaiah>

2CH-32:33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried

him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David:and

all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his

death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. <all> <buried>

2CH-33:1 Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:<began> <fifty>

2CH-33:2 But did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,

like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had

cast out before the children of Israel. <before> <cast>

2CH-33:3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his

father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and

made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served

them. <again> <all> <altars> <baalim> <broken> <built> <down>

2CH-33:4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof

the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

2CH-33:5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the

two courts of the house of the LORD. <all> <altars> <built>

2CH-33:6 And he caused his children to pass through the fire in

the valley of the son of Hinnom:also he observed times, and used

enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar

spirit, and with wizards:he wrought much evil in the sight of

the LORD, to provoke him to anger. <also> <anger> <caused>

2CH-33:7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made,

in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to

Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have

chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for

ever:<all> <before> <carved> <chosen> <david> <god> <had> <have>

2CH-33:8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from

out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that

they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them,

according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances

by the hand of Moses. <all> <any> <appointed> <commanded> <do>

2CH-33:9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem

to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had

destroyed before the children of Israel. <before> <children>

<worse>

2CH-33:10 And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people:but

they would not hearken. <hearken> <lord> <manasseh> <people>

2CH-33:11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of

the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the

thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

2CH-33:12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD

his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his

fathers, <affliction> <before> <besought> <god> <greatly>

2CH-33:13 And prayed unto him:and he was entreated of him, and

heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into

his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he [was] God.

2CH-33:14 Now after this he built a wall without the city of

David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the

entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and

raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all

the fenced cities of Judah. <after> <all> <built> <captains>

2CH-33:15 And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of

the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in

the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast

[them] out of the city. <all> <altars> <away> <built> <cast>

2CH-33:16 And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed

thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah

to serve the LORD God of Israel. <altar> <commanded> <god>

2CH-33:17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the

high places, [yet] unto the LORD their God only. <did> <god>

2CH-33:18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer

unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in

the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they [are written]

in the book of the kings of Israel. <behold> <book> <god> <him>

2CH-33:19 His prayer also, and [how God] was entreated of him,

and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he

built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before

he was humbled:behold, they [are] written among the sayings of

the seers. <all> <also> <among> <before> <behold> <built>

2CH-33:20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried

him in his own house:and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

2CH-33:21 Amon [was] two and twenty years old when he began to

reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem. <amon> <began>

2CH-33:22 But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD, as did Manasseh his father:for Amon sacrificed unto all

the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served

them; <all> <amon> <carved> <did> <evil> <father> <had> <images>

2CH-33:23 And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh

his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and

more. <amon> <before> <father> <had> <himself> <humbled> <lord>

2CH-33:24 And his servants conspired against him, and slew him

in his own house. <against> <conspired> <him> <house> <own>

2CH-33:25 But the people of the land slew all them that had

conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made

Josiah his son king in his stead. <against> <all> <amon>

2CH-34:1 Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years. <began>

2CH-34:2 And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined

[neither] to the right hand, nor to the left. <david> <declined>

2CH-34:3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet

young, he began to seek after the God of David his father:and in

the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the

high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the

molten images. <after> <began> <carved> <david> <eighth>

2CH-34:4 And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his

presence; and the images, that [were] on high above them, he cut

down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten

images, he brake in pieces, and made dust [of them], and strowed

[it] upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

2CH-34:5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars,

and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. <altars> <bones> <burnt>

2CH-34:6 And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim,

and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.

2CH-34:7 And when he had broken down the altars and the groves,

and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all

the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to

Jerusalem. <all> <altars> <beaten> <broken> <cut> <down>

2CH-34:8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had

purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of

Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son

of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

2CH-34:9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they

delivered the money that was brought into the house of God,

which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand

of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and

of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem. <all>

2CH-34:10 And they put [it] in the hand of the workmen that had

the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the

workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and

amend the house:<amend> <gave> <had> <hand> <house> <lord>

2CH-34:11 Even to the artificers and builders gave they [it], to

buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the

houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed. <artificers>

2CH-34:12 And the men did the work faithfully:and the overseers

of them [were] Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of

Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the

Kohathites, to set [it] forward; and [other of] the Levites, all

that could skill of instruments of music. <all> <could> <did>

2CH-34:13 Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens, and

[were] overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of

service:and of the Levites [there were] scribes, and officers,

and porters. <all> <also> <any> <bearers> <burdens> <levites>

2CH-34:14 And when they brought out the money that was brought

into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of

the law of the LORD [given] by Moses. <book> <brought> <found>

<when>

2CH-34:15 And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I

have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And

Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. <answered> <book>

2CH-34:16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought

the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy

servants, they do [it]. <again> <all> <back> <book> <brought>

<word>

2CH-34:17 And they have gathered together the money that was

found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the

hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.

2CH-34:18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah

the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the

king. <before> <book> <given> <hath> <hilkiah> <king> <priest>

2CH-34:19 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words

of the law, that he rent his clothes. <came> <clothes> <had>

2CH-34:20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of

Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and

Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying, <ahikam> <asaiah>

2CH-34:21 Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are

left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book

that is found:for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is

poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word

of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.

2CH-34:22 And Hilkiah, and [they] that the king [had appointed],

went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of

Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she

dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to

that [effect]. <dwelt> <hasrah> <hilkiah> <huldah> <jerusalem>

2CH-34:23 And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of

Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me, <answered> <god>

2CH-34:24 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon

this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, [even] all the

curses that are written in the book which they have read before

the king of Judah:<all> <are> <before> <behold> <book> <bring>

2CH-34:25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense

unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all

the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out

upon this place, and shall not be quenched. <all> <anger>

2CH-34:26 And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire

of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God

of Israel [concerning] the words which thou hast heard; <god>

2CH-34:27 Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble

thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this

place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst

thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before

me; I have even heard [thee] also, saith the LORD. <against>

2CH-34:28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou

shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine

eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and

upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word

again. <again> <all> <behold> <bring> <brought> <evil> <eyes>

2CH-34:29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the

elders of Judah and Jerusalem. <all> <elders> <gathered>

2CH-34:30 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and

all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the

priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small:

and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the

covenant that was found in the house of the LORD. <all> <book>

2CH-34:31 And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant

before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his

commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all

his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the

covenant which are written in this book. <after> <all> <are>

2CH-34:32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and

Benjamin to stand [to it]. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did

according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

2CH-34:33 And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all

the countries that [pertained] to the children of Israel, and

made all that were present in Israel to serve, [even] to serve

the LORD their God. [And] all his days they departed not from

following the LORD, the God of their fathers. <all> <away>

2CH-35:1 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in

Jerusalem:and they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day]

of the first month. <first> <fourteenth> <jerusalem> <josiah>

2CH-35:2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged

them to the service of the house of the LORD, <charges>

2CH-35:3 And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which

were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which

Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; [it shall]

not [be] a burden upon [your] shoulders:serve now the LORD your

God, and his people Israel, <all> <ark> <build> <burden> <david>

2CH-35:4 And prepare [yourselves] by the houses of your fathers,

after your courses, according to the writing of David king of

Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son. <after>

2CH-35:5 And stand in the holy [place] according to the

divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the

people, and [after] the division of the families of the Levites.

2CH-35:6 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and

prepare your brethren, that [they] may do according to the word

of the LORD by the hand of Moses. <brethren> <do> <hand> <kill>

2CH-35:7 And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and

kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present,

to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks:

these [were] of the king's substance. <all> <bullocks> <flock>

<three>

2CH-35:8 And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the

priests, and to the Levites:Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel,

rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the

passover offerings two thousand and six hundred [small cattle],

and three hundred oxen. <gave> <god> <hilkiah> <house> <hundred>

2CH-35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren,

and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave

unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand [small

cattle], and five hundred oxen. <also> <brethren> <chief>

2CH-35:10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in

their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the

king's commandment. <commandment> <courses> <levites> <place>

2CH-35:11 And they killed the passover, and the priests

sprinkled [the blood] from their hands, and the Levites flayed

[them]. <blood> <flayed> <hands> <killed> <levites> <passover>

2CH-35:12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might

give according to the divisions of the families of the people,

to offer unto the LORD, as [it is] written in the book of Moses.

And so [did they] with the oxen. <book> <burnt> <divisions>

2CH-35:13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to

the ordinance:but the [other] holy [offerings] sod they in pots,

and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided [them] speedily among

all the people. <all> <among> <caldrons> <divided> <fire> <holy>

2CH-35:14 And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for

the priests:because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied]

in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night;

therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the

priests the sons of Aaron. <afterward> <because> <burnt>

<until>

2CH-35:15 And the singers the sons of Asaph [were] in their

place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and

Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters [waited] at

every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their

brethren the Levites prepared for them. <asaph> <brethren>

2CH-35:16 So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same

day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the

altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

2CH-35:17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the

passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven

days. <bread> <children> <days> <feast> <israel> <kept>

2CH-35:18 And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel

from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings

of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests,

and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and

the inhabitants of Jerusalem. <all> <days> <did> <inhabitants>

2CH-35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this

passover kept. <eighteenth> <josiah> <kept> <passover> <reign>

2CH-35:20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple,

Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by

Euphrates:and Josiah went out against him. <after> <against>

<when>

2CH-35:21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to

do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this

day, but against the house wherewith I have war:for God

commanded me to make haste:forbear thee from [meddling with] God,

who [is] with me, that he destroy thee not. <against>

2CH-35:22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him,

but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and

hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and

came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. <came> <disguised>

2CH-35:23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said

to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded. <archers>

2CH-35:24 His servants therefore took him out of that chariot,

and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought

him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in [one of] the

sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned

for Josiah. <all> <brought> <buried> <chariot> <died> <fathers>

2CH-35:25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah:and all the singing

men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations

to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel:and, behold,

they [are] written in the lamentations. <all> <behold> <day>

2CH-35:26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness,

according to [that which was] written in the law of the LORD,

2CH-35:27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, they [are]

written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. <behold>

2CH-36:1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of

Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

2CH-36:2 Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he began

to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. <began>

2CH-36:3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and

condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent

of gold. <condemned> <down> <egypt> <gold> <him> <hundred>

2CH-36:4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king

over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And

Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

2CH-36:5 Jehoiakim [was] twenty and five years old when he began

to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:and he did

[that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD his God. <began>

<years>

2CH-36:6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and

bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. <against>

2CH-36:7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house

of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

2CH-36:8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his

abominations which he did, and that which was found in him,

behold, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel

and Judah:and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. <behold>

2CH-36:9 Jehoiachin [was] eight years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem:and he

did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD. <began>

2CH-36:10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar

sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the

house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah

and Jerusalem. <babylon> <brother> <brought> <expired> <goodly>

2CH-36:11 Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began

to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. <began>

2CH-36:12 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the

LORD his God, [and] humbled not himself before Jeremiah the

prophet [speaking] from the mouth of the LORD. <before> <did>

2CH-36:13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who

had made him swear by God:but he stiffened his neck, and

hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.

2CH-36:14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people,

transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen;

and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in

Jerusalem. <after> <all> <chief> <had> <hallowed> <heathen>

2CH-36:15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his

messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had

compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:<because>

2CH-36:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised

his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD

arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy. <against>

2CH-36:17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the

Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house

of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or

maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age:he gave [them] all

into his hand. <age> <all> <brought> <chaldees> <compassion>

2CH-36:18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and

small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the

treasures of the king, and of his princes; all [these] he

brought to Babylon. <all> <babylon> <brought> <god> <great>

2CH-36:19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the

wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire,

and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof. <all> <brake>

2CH-36:20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he

away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons

until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:<away> <babylon>

2CH-36:21 To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of

Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths:[for] as long

as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and

ten years. <desolate> <enjoyed> <fulfil> <had> <jeremiah> <kept>

2CH-36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that

the word of the LORD [spoken] by the mouth of Jeremiah might be

accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of

Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom,

and [put it] also in writing, saying, <all> <also> <cyrus>

2CH-36:23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of

the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath

charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which [is] in

Judah. Who [is there] among you of all his people? The LORD his

God [be] with him, and let him go up. <all> <among> <build>

JG-16:25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that

they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they

called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them

sport:and they set him between the pillars. <between> <call>

<when>

JG-16:26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand,

Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house

standeth, that I may lean upon them. <feel> <hand> <held> <him>

JG-16:27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the

lords of the Philistines [were] there; and [there were] upon the

roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while

Samson made sport. <all> <beheld> <full> <house> <lords> <made>

JG-16:28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD,

remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only

this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the

Philistines for my two eyes. <avenged> <called> <eyes> <god>

JG-16:29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon

which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one

with his right hand, and of the other with his left. <borne>

JG-16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And

he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon

the lords, and upon all the people that [were] therein. So the

dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he

slew in his life. <all> <bowed> <dead> <death> <die> <fell>

JG-16:31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came

down, and took him, and brought [him] up, and buried him between

Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And

he judged Israel twenty years. <all> <between> <brethren>

JG-17:1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name [was]

Micah. <ephraim> <man> <micah> <mount> <name> <there> <whose>

JG-17:2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred

[shekels] of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou

cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver

[is] with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed [be thou]

of the LORD, my son. <also> <behold> <blessed> <cursedst> <ears>

JG-17:3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of

silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated

the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a

graven image and a molten image:now therefore I will restore it

unto thee. <dedicated> <eleven> <graven> <had> <hand> <hundred>

JG-17:4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his

mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver, and gave them to

the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image:

and they were in the house of Micah. <founder> <gave> <graven>

JG-17:5 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an

ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became

his priest. <became> <consecrated> <ephod> <gods> <had> <house>

JG-17:6 In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every

man did [that which was] right in his own eyes. <days> <did>

JG-17:7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the

family of Judah, who [was] a Levite, and he sojourned there.

JG-17:8 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah

to sojourn where he could find [a place] :and he came to mount

Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed. <bethlehemjudah>

JG-17:9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said

unto him, I [am] a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn

where I may find [a place] . <bethlehemjudah> <comest> <find>

JG-17:10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me

a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [shekels] of

silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So

the Levite went in. <apparel> <dwell> <father> <give> <him>

JG-17:11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and

the young man was unto him as one of his sons. <content> <dwell>

JG-17:12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man

became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. <became>

JG-17:13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me

good, seeing I have a Levite to [my] priest. <do> <good> <have>

JG-18:1 In those days [there was] no king in Israel:and in those

days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to

dwell in; for unto that day [all their] inheritance had not

fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel. <all> <among>

JG-18:2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men

from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol,

to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them,

Go, search the land:who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the

house of Micah, they lodged there. <came> <children> <coasts>

JG-18:3 When they [were] by the house of Micah, they knew the

voice of the young man the Levite:and they turned in thither,

and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou

in this [place] ? and what hast thou here? <brought> <hast>

JG-18:4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with

me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest. <dealeth> <hath>

JG-18:5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of

God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be

prosperous. <ask> <counsel> <go> <god> <him> <know> <may> <pray>

JG-18:6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace:before the

LORD [is] your way wherein ye go. <before> <go> <lord> <peace>

JG-18:7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw

the people that [were] therein, how they dwelt careless, after

the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and [there was]

no magistrate in the land, that might put [them] to shame in

[any] thing; and they [were] far from the Zidonians, and had no

business with [any] man. <after> <any> <business> <came>

JG-18:8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol:

and their brethren said unto them, What [say] ye? <brethren>

JG-18:9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them:for

we have seen the land, and, behold, it [is] very good:and [are]

ye still? be not slothful to go, [and] to enter to possess the

land. <against> <are> <arise> <behold> <enter> <go> <good>

<very>

JG-18:10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to

a large land:for God hath given it into your hands; a place

where [there is] no want of any thing that [is] in the earth.

JG-18:11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites,

out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with

weapons of war. <appointed> <danites> <eshtaol> <family>

JG-18:12 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in

Judah:wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day:

behold, [it is] behind Kirjathjearim. <behind> <behold> <called>

JG-18:13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came

unto the house of Micah. <came> <ephraim> <house> <micah>

JG-18:14 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the

country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that

there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven

image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have

to do. <answered> <brethren> <consider> <country> <do> <ephod>

JG-18:15 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of

the young man the Levite, [even] unto the house of Micah, and

saluted him. <came> <even> <him> <house> <levite> <man> <micah>

JG-18:16 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of

war, which [were] of the children of Dan, stood by the entering

of the gate. <appointed> <children> <dan> <entering> <gate>

JG-18:17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up,

[and] came in thither, [and] took the graven image, and the

ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image:and the priest

stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men [that

were] appointed with weapons of war. <appointed> <came>

JG-18:18 And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the

carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image.

Then said the priest unto them, What do ye? <carved> <do>

JG-18:19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand

upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a

priest:[is it] better for thee to be a priest unto the house of

one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in

Israel? <better> <family> <father> <go> <hand> <him> <hold>

JG-18:20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod,

and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of

the people. <ephod> <glad> <graven> <heart> <image> <midst>

JG-18:21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones

and the cattle and the carriage before them. <before> <carriage>

JG-18:22 [And] when they were a good way from the house of Micah,

the men that [were] in the houses near to Micah's house were

gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan. <children>

JG-18:23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they

turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that

thou comest with such a company? <aileth> <children> <comest>

JG-18:24 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made,

and the priest, and ye are gone away:and what have I more? and

what [is] this [that] ye say unto me, What aileth thee? <aileth>

JG-18:25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy

voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and

thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household. <among>

JG-18:26 And the children of Dan went their way:and when Micah

saw that they [were] too strong for him, he turned and went back

unto his house. <back> <children> <dan> <him> <house> <micah>

JG-18:27 And they took [the things] which Micah had made, and

the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people

[that were] at quiet and secure:and they smote them with the

edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire. <burnt> <came>

JG-18:28 And [there was] no deliverer, because it [was] far from

Zidon, and they had no business with [any] man; and it was in

the valley that [lieth] by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and

dwelt therein. <any> <because> <bethrehob> <built> <business>

JG-18:29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the

name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel:howbeit the

name of the city [was] Laish at the first. <after> <born>

JG-18:30 And the children of Dan set up the graven image:and

Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his

sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the

captivity of the land. <captivity> <children> <dan> <day>

JG-18:31 And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he

made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. <all>

<which>

JG-19:1 And it came to pass in those days, when [there was] no

king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on

the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of

Bethlehemjudah. <bethlehemjudah> <came> <certain> <concubine>

<who>

JG-19:2 And his concubine played the whore against him, and went

away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was

there four whole months. <against> <away> <bethlehemjudah>

JG-19:3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak

friendly unto her, [and] to bring her again, having his servant

with him, and a couple of asses:and she brought him into her

father's house:and when the father of the damsel saw him, he

rejoiced to meet him. <after> <again> <arose> <asses> <bring>

JG-19:4 And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him;

and he abode with him three days:so they did eat and drink, and

lodged there. <days> <did> <drink> <eat> <father> <him> <law>

JG-19:5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose

early in the morning, that he rose up to depart:and the damsel's

father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a

morsel of bread, and afterward go your way. <afterward> <arose>

JG-19:6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them

together:for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be

content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart

be merry. <all> <both> <content> <did> <down> <drink> <eat>

JG-19:7 And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law

urged him:therefore he lodged there again. <again> <depart>

JG-19:8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to

depart:and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray

thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of

them. <afternoon> <arose> <both> <comfort> <day> <depart> <did>

JG-19:9 And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his

concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's

father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward

evening, I pray you tarry all night:behold, the day groweth to

an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow

get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home. <all>

JG-19:10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up

and departed, and came over against Jebus, which [is] Jerusalem;

and [there were] with him two asses saddled, his concubine also

[was] with him. <against> <also> <asses> <came> <concubine>

JG-19:11 [And] when they [were] by Jebus, the day was far spent;

and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let

us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.

<when>

JG-19:12 And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside

hither into the city of a stranger, that [is] not of the

children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah. <aside>

JG-19:13 And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw

near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in

Ramah. <all> <come> <draw> <gibeah> <let> <lodge> <near> <night>

JG-19:14 And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went

down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which [belongeth] to

Benjamin. <belongeth> <benjamin> <down> <gibeah> <on> <passed>

JG-19:15 And they turned aside thither, to go in [and] to lodge

in Gibeah:and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of

the city:for [there was] no man that took them into his house to

lodging. <aside> <city> <down> <gibeah> <go> <him> <house>

JG-19:16 And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of

the field at even, which [was] also of mount Ephraim; and he

sojourned in Gibeah:but the men of the place [were] Benjamites.

JG-19:17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring

man in the street of the city:and the old man said, Whither

goest thou? and whence comest thou? <city> <comest> <eyes>

JG-19:18 And he said unto him, We [are] passing from

Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence

[am] I:and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I [am now] going to the

house of the LORD; and there [is] no man that receiveth me to

house. <are> <bethlehemjudah> <ephraim> <going> <him> <house>

JG-19:19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses;

and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid,

and for the young man [which is] with thy servants:[there is] no

want of any thing. <also> <any> <asses> <both> <bread>

JG-19:20 And the old man said, Peace [be] with thee; howsoever

[let] all thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the street.

JG-19:21 So he brought him into his house, and gave provender

unto the asses:and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.

JG-19:22 [Now] as they were making their hearts merry, behold,

the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house

round about, [and] beat at the door, and spake to the master of

the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came

into thine house, that we may know him. <beat> <behold> <belial>

JG-19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto

them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, [nay] , I pray you,

do not [so] wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine

house, do not this folly. <brethren> <come> <do> <folly> <house>

JG-19:24 Behold, [here is] my daughter a maiden, and his

concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do

with them what seemeth good unto you:but unto this man do not so

vile a thing. <behold> <bring> <concubine> <daughter> <do>

JG-19:25 But the men would not hearken to him:so the man took

his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew

her, and abused her all the night until the morning:and when the

day began to spring, they let her go. <all> <began> <brought>

JG-19:26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell

down at the door of the man's house where her lord [was] , till

it was light. <came> <dawning> <day> <door> <down> <fell>

JG-19:27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the

doors of the house, and went out to go his way:and, behold, the

woman his concubine was fallen down [at] the door of the house,

and her hands [were] upon the threshold. <behold> <concubine>

JG-19:28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none

answered. Then the man took her [up] upon an ass, and the man

rose up, and gat him unto his place. <answered> <ass> <gat>

<took>

JG-19:29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife,

and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, [together] with

her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts

of Israel. <all> <bones> <coasts> <come> <concubine> <divided>

JG-19:30 And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no

such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel

came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day:consider of it,

take advice, and speak [your minds] . <advice> <all> <came>

JG-20:1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the

congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to

Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.

JG-20:2 And the chief of all the people, [even] of all the

tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the

people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.

JG-20:3 ( Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children

of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh. ) Then said the children of

Israel, Tell [us] , how was this wickedness? <benjamin>

JG-20:4 And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain,

answered and said, I came into Gibeah that [belongeth] to

Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. <answered> <belongeth>

JG-20:5 And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the

house round about upon me by night, [and] thought to have slain

me:and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.

JG-20:6 And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent

her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel:for

they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel. <all>

<took>

JG-20:7 Behold, ye [are] all children of Israel; give here your

advice and counsel. <advice> <all> <are> <behold> <children>

JG-20:8 And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not

any [of us] go to his tent, neither will we any [of us] turn

into his house. <all> <any> <arose> <go> <house> <into> <man>

JG-20:9 But now this [shall be] the thing which we will do to

Gibeah; [we will go up] by lot against it; <against> <do>

JG-20:10 And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all

the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a

thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people,

that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin,

according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.

JG-20:11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city,

knit together as one man. <against> <all> <city> <gathered>

JG-20:12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe

of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness [is] this that is done

among you? <all> <among> <benjamin> <done> <israel> <men>

JG-20:13 Now therefore deliver [us] the men, the children of

Belial, which [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death,

and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin

would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of

Israel:<are> <away> <belial> <benjamin> <brethren> <children>

JG-20:14 But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves

together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle

against the children of Israel. <against> <battle> <benjamin>

JG-20:15 And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time

out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword,

beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven

hundred chosen men. <benjamin> <beside> <children> <chosen>

<which>

JG-20:16 Among all this people [there were] seven hundred chosen

men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair

[breadth] , and not miss. <all> <among> <breadth> <chosen>

JG-20:17 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered

four hundred thousand men that drew sword:all these [were] men

of war. <all> <benjamin> <beside> <drew> <four> <hundred>

JG-20:18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the

house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us

shall go up first to the battle against the children of

Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah [shall go up] first.

JG-20:19 And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and

encamped against Gibeah. <against> <children> <encamped>

JG-20:20 And the men of Israel went out to battle against

Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight

against them at Gibeah. <against> <array> <battle> <benjamin>

JG-20:21 And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah,

and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day

twenty and two thousand men. <benjamin> <came> <children> <day>

JG-20:22 And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves,

and set their battle again in array in the place where they put

themselves in array the first day. <again> <array> <battle>

JG-20:23 ( And the children of Israel went up and wept before

the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying,

Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin

my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him. ) <again>

JG-20:24 And the children of Israel came near against the

children of Benjamin the second day. <against> <benjamin> <came>

JG-20:25 And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the

second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of

Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

JG-20:26 Then all the children of Israel, and all the people,

went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there

before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered

burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD. <all>

JG-20:27 And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, ( for

the ark of the covenant of God [was] there in those days, <ark>

JG-20:28 And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron,

stood before it in those days, ) saying, Shall I yet again go

out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or

shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will

deliver them into thine hand. <again> <against> <battle>

<yet>

JG-20:29 And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

JG-20:30 And the children of Israel went up against the children

of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array

against Gibeah, as at other times. <against> <array> <benjamin>

JG-20:31 And the children of Benjamin went out against the

people, [and] were drawn away from the city; and they began to

smite of the people, [and] kill, as at other times, in the

highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the

other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

JG-20:32 And the children of Benjamin said, They [are] smitten

down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said,

Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.

JG-20:33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place,

and put themselves in array at Baaltamar:and the liers in wait

of Israel came forth out of their places, [even] out of the

meadows of Gibeah. <all> <array> <baaltamar> <came> <even>

JG-20:34 And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men

out of all Israel, and the battle was sore:but they knew not

that evil [was] near them. <against> <all> <battle> <came>

JG-20:35 And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel:and the

children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty

and five thousand and an hundred men:all these drew the sword.

JG-20:36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten:

for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they

trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

JG-20:37 And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah;

and the liers in wait drew [themselves] along, and smote all the

city with the edge of the sword. <all> <along> <city> <drew>

JG-20:38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of

Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great

flame with smoke rise up out of the city. <appointed> <between>

JG-20:39 And when the men of Israel retired in the battle,

Benjamin began to smite [and] kill of the men of Israel about

thirty persons:for they said, Surely they are smitten down

before us, as [in] the first battle. <are> <battle> <before>

<when>

JG-20:40 But when the flame began to arise up out of the city

with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and,

behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven. <arise>

JG-20:41 And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of

Benjamin were amazed:for they saw that evil was come upon them.

JG-20:42 Therefore they turned [their backs] before the men of

Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook

them; and them which [came] out of the cities they destroyed in

the midst of them. <backs> <battle> <before> <came> <cities>

JG-20:43 [Thus] they enclosed the Benjamites round about, [and]

chased them, [and] trode them down with ease over against Gibeah

toward the sunrising. <against> <benjamites> <chased> <down>

JG-20:44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all

these [were] men of valour. <all> <benjamin> <eighteen> <fell>

JG-20:45 And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the

rock of Rimmon:and they gleaned of them in the highways five

thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew

two thousand men of them. <after> <five> <fled> <gidom>

JG-20:46 So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty

and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these [were] men

of valour. <all> <benjamin> <day> <drew> <fell> <five> <men>

JG-20:47 But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness

unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.

JG-20:48 And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of

Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the

men of [every] city, as the beast, and all that came to hand:

also they set on fire all the cities that they came to. <again>

JG-21:1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There

shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.

JG-21:2 And the people came to the house of God, and abode there

till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;

JG-21:3 And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass

in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in

Israel? <come> <day> <god> <israel> <lacking> <lord> <one>

JG-21:4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose

early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and

peace offerings. <altar> <built> <burnt> <came> <early> <morrow>

JG-21:5 And the children of Israel said, Who [is there] among

all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation

unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him

that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely

be put to death. <all> <among> <came> <children> <concerning>

JG-21:6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin

their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel

this day. <benjamin> <brother> <children> <cut> <day> <israel>

JG-21:7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing

we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our

daughters to wives? <daughters> <do> <give> <have> <how> <lord>

JG-21:8 And they said, What one [is there] of the tribes of

Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold,

there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.

JG-21:9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, [there were]

none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there. <behold>

JG-21:10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men

of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the

inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the

women and the children. <children> <commanded> <congregation>

JG-21:11 And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall

utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by

man. <destroy> <do> <every> <hath> <lain> <male> <man> <thing>

JG-21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead

four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with

any male:and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which

[is] in the land of Canaan. <among> <any> <brought> <camp>

JG-21:13 And the whole congregation sent [some] to speak to the

children of Benjamin that [were] in the rock Rimmon, and to call

peaceably unto them. <benjamin> <call> <children> <congregation>

JG-21:14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave

them wives which they had saved alive of the women of

Jabeshgilead:and yet so they sufficed them not. <again> <alive>

JG-21:15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that

the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. <because>

JG-21:16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we

do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are

destroyed out of Benjamin? <are> <benjamin> <congregation>

JG-21:17 And they said, [There must be] an inheritance for them

that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out

of Israel. <benjamin> <destroyed> <escaped> <inheritance>

JG-21:18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters:for

the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [be] he that

giveth a wife to Benjamin. <benjamin> <children> <cursed>

JG-21:19 Then they said, Behold, [there is] a feast of the LORD

in Shiloh yearly [in a place] which [is] on the north side of

Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from

Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah. <behold>

JG-21:20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin,

saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; <benjamin>

JG-21:21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come

out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and

catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go

to the land of Benjamin. <behold> <benjamin> <catch> <come>

JG-21:22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren

come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be

favourable unto them for our sakes:because we reserved not to

each man his wife in the war:for ye did not give unto them at

this time, [that] ye should be guilty. <because> <brethren>

JG-21:23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took [them]

wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they

caught:and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and

repaired the cities, and dwelt in them. <benjamin> <caught>

JG-21:24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time,

every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out

from thence every man to his inheritance. <children> <departed>

JG-21:25 In those days [there was] no king in Israel:every man

did [that which was] right in his own eyes. <days> <did> <every>

<which>

RU-1:1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled,

that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of

Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and

his wife, and his two sons. <bethlehemjudah> <came> <certain>

<wife>

RU-1:2 And the name of the man [was] Elimelech, and the name of

his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion,

Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of

Moab, and continued there. <bethlehemjudah> <came> <chilion>

RU-1:3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and

her two sons. <died> <elimelech> <husband> <left> <she> <sons>

<two>

RU-1:4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name

of the one [was] Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth:and they

dwelled there about ten years. <dwelled> <moab> <name> <one>

<years>

RU-1:5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the

woman was left of her two sons and her husband. <also> <both>

RU-1:6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might

return from the country of Moab:for she had heard in the country

of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them

bread. <arose> <bread> <country> <daughters> <giving> <had>

RU-1:7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was,

and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way

to return unto the land of Judah. <daughters> <forth> <judah>

RU-1:8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return

each to her mother's house:the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye

have dealt with the dead, and with me. <daughters> <dead> <deal>

RU-1:9 The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each [of you]

in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they

lifted up their voice, and wept. <each> <find> <grant> <house>

RU-1:10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee

unto thy people. <people> <return> <said> <surely> <will> <with>

RU-1:11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters:why will ye go

with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons in my womb, that they

may be your husbands? <again> <any> <are> <daughters> <go>

RU-1:12 Turn again, my daughters, go [your way] ; for I am too

old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, [if] I

should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

RU-1:13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye

stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it

grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is

gone out against me. <against> <daughters> <gone> <grieveth>

RU-1:14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again:and Orpah

kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. <again>

<wept>

RU-1:15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back

unto her people, and unto her gods:return thou after thy sister

in law. <after> <back> <behold> <gods> <gone> <law> <people>

RU-1:16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, [or] to

return from following after thee:for whither thou goest, I will

go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge:thy people [shall be]

my people, and thy God my God:<after> <entreat> <following> <go>

RU-1:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried:

the LORD do so to me, and more also, [if ought] but death part

thee and me. <also> <buried> <death> <die> <diest> <do> <lord>

RU-1:18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with

her, then she left speaking unto her. <go> <left> <minded> <saw>

RU-1:19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it

came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the

city was moved about them, and they said, [Is] this Naomi? <all>

RU-1:20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara:

for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. <almighty>

RU-1:21 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again

empty:why [then] call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath

testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

RU-1:22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter

in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab:and

they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.

RU-2:1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of

wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] Boaz.

RU-2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to

the field, and glean ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I

shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

RU-2:3 And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after

the reapers:and her hap was to light on a part of the field

[belonging] unto Boaz, who [was] of the kindred of Elimelech.

RU-2:4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the

reapers, The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, The LORD

bless thee. <answered> <behold> <bethlehem> <bless> <boaz>

RU-2:5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the

reapers, Whose damsel [is] this? <boaz> <damsel> <over>

RU-2:6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered

and said, It [is] the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi

out of the country of Moab:<answered> <back> <came> <country>

RU-2:7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after

the reapers among the sheaves:so she came, and hath continued

even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in

the house. <after> <among> <came> <continued> <even> <gather>

RU-2:8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter?

Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but

abide here fast by my maidens:<another> <boaz> <daughter> <fast>

RU-2:9 [Let] thine eyes [be] on the field that they do reap, and

go thou after them:have I not charged the young men that they

shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the

vessels, and drink of [that] which the young men have drawn.

RU-2:10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the

ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes,

that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I [am] a

stranger? <bowed> <eyes> <face> <fell> <found> <grace> <ground>

RU-2:11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been

showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since

the death of thine husband:and [how] thou hast left thy father

and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto

a people which thou knewest not heretofore. <all> <answered>

RU-2:12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given

thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come

to trust. <art> <come> <full> <given> <god> <israel> <lord>

RU-2:13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord;

for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken

friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of

thine handmaidens. <comforted> <favour> <find> <friendly>

RU-2:14 And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither,

and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she

sat beside the reapers:and he reached her parched [corn] , and

she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. <beside> <boaz> <bread>

RU-2:15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his

young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and

reproach her not:<among> <boaz> <commanded> <even> <glean> <let>

RU-2:16 And let fall also [some] of the handfuls of purpose for

her, and leave [them] , that she may glean [them] , and rebuke

her not. <also> <fall> <glean> <handfuls> <leave> <let> <may>

RU-2:17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out

that she had gleaned:and it was about an ephah of barley.

RU-2:18 And she took [it] up, and went into the city:and her

mother in law saw what she had gleaned:and she brought forth,

and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

<what>

RU-2:19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou

gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that

did take knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law

with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I

wrought to day [is] Boaz. <blessed> <boaz> <day> <did> <gleaned>

RU-2:20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed [be] he

of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living

and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man [is] near of

kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen. <blessed> <daughter>

RU-2:21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou

shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my

harvest. <all> <also> <ended> <fast> <harvest> <have> <keep>

RU-2:22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, [It is]

good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they

meet thee not in any other field. <any> <daughter> <field> <go>

<with>

RU-2:23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto

the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with

her mother in law. <barley> <boaz> <dwelt> <end> <fast> <glean>

<with>

RU-3:1 Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter,

shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

RU-3:2 And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens

thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the

threshingfloor. <barley> <behold> <boaz> <kindred> <maidens>

RU-3:3 Wash thy self therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy

raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor:[but] make not

thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and

drinking. <anoint> <done> <down> <drinking> <eating> <floor>

RU-3:4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark

the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover

his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou

shalt do. <do> <down> <feet> <go> <lay> <lie> <lieth>

RU-3:5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I

will do. <all> <do> <said> <sayest> <she> <will>

RU-3:6 And she went down unto the floor, and did according to

all that her mother in law bade her. <all> <bade> <did> <down>

RU-3:7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was

merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn:and

she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

RU-3:8 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid,

and turned himself:and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

RU-3:9 And he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am]

Ruth thine handmaid:spread therefore thy skirt over thine

handmaid; for thou [art] a near kinsman. <answered> <art>

RU-3:10 And he said, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD, my daughter:

[for] thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at

the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men,

whether poor or rich. <beginning> <blessed> <daughter> <end>

<young>

RU-3:11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all

that thou requirest:for all the city of my people doth know that

thou [art] a virtuous woman. <all> <art> <city> <daughter> <do>

RU-3:12 And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman:howbeit

there is a kinsman nearer than I. <howbeit> <kinsman> <near>

RU-3:13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, [that]

if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let

him do the kinsman's part:but if he will not do the part of a

kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee,

[as] the LORD liveth:lie down until the morning. <do> <down>

RU-3:14 And she lay at his feet until the morning:and she rose

up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be

known that a woman came into the floor. <another> <before>

RU-3:15 Also he said, Bring the veil that [thou hast] upon thee,

and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six [measures] of

barley, and laid [it] on her:and she went into the city. <also>

<when>

RU-3:16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who

[art] thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had

done to her. <all> <art> <came> <daughter> <done> <had> <law>

RU-3:17 And she said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me;

for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. <barley>

<these>

RU-3:18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know

how the matter will fall:for the man will not be in rest, until

he have finished the thing this day. <daughter> <day> <fall>

RU-4:1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there:and,

behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he

said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned

aside, and sat down. <aside> <behold> <boaz> <came> <down>

RU-4:2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said,

Sit ye down here. And they sat down. <city> <down> <elders>

RU-4:3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again

out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which

[was] our brother Elimelech's:<again> <brother> <come> <country>

RU-4:4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy [it] before

the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou

wilt redeem [it] , redeem [it] :but if thou wilt not redeem [it,

then] tell me, that I may know:for [there is] none to redeem

[it] beside thee; and I [am] after thee. And he said, I will

redeem [it] . <advertise> <after> <before> <beside> <buy>

RU-4:5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the

hand of Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess,

the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his

inheritance. <also> <boaz> <buy> <buyest> <day> <dead> <field>

RU-4:6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself,

lest I mar mine own inheritance:redeem thou my right to thyself;

for I cannot redeem [it] . <cannot> <inheritance> <kinsman>

RU-4:7 Now this [was the manner] in former time in Israel

concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all

things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave [it] to his

neighbour:and this [was] a testimony in Israel. <all> <changing>

RU-4:8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy [it] for thee.

So he drew off his shoe. <boaz> <buy> <drew> <kinsman> <off>

RU-4:9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and [unto] all the people,

Ye [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that [was]

Elimelech's, and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the

hand of Naomi. <all> <are> <boaz> <bought> <day> <elders> <hand>

RU-4:10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I

purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon

his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from

among his brethren, and from the gate of his place:ye [are]

witnesses this day. <among> <are> <brethren> <cut> <day> <dead>

RU-4:11 And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the

elders, said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that

is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two

did build the house of Israel:and do thou worthily in Ephratah,

and be famous in Bethlehem:<all> <are> <bethlehem> <build>

RU-4:12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom

Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give

thee of this young woman. <bare> <give> <house> <judah> <let>

RU-4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife:and when he went

in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.

RU-4:14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD,

which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his

name may be famous in Israel. <blessed> <day> <famous> <hath>

RU-4:15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of [thy] life, and

a nourisher of thine old age:for thy daughter in law, which

loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne

him. <age> <better> <borne> <daughter> <hath> <him> <law> <life>

RU-4:16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and

became nurse unto it. <became> <bosom> <child> <laid> <naomi>

RU-4:17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying,

There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed:he

[is] the father of Jesse, the father of David. <born> <called>

RU-4:18 Now these [are] the generations of Pharez:Pharez begat

Hezron, <are> <begat> <generations> <hezron> <now> <pharez>

<these>

RU-4:19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

RU-4:20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

RU-4:21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, <begat>

RU-4:22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David. <begat>

1SA-1:1 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount

Ephraim, and his name [was] Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son

of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

1SA-1:2 And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah,

and the name of the other Peninnah:and Peninnah had children,

but Hannah had no children. <children> <had> <hannah> <name>

1SA-1:3 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship

and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two

sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD,

[were] there. <city> <eli> <hophni> <hosts> <lord> <man>

1SA-1:4 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to

Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters,

portions:<all> <daughters> <elkanah> <gave> <offered> <peninnah>

1SA-1:5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved

Hannah:but the LORD had shut up her womb. <gave> <had> <hannah>

1SA-1:6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make

her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. <adversary>

1SA-1:7 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the

house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and

did not eat. <did> <eat> <house> <lord> <provoked> <she> <so>

1SA-1:8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why

weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart

grieved? [am] not I better to thee than ten sons? <better>

1SA-1:9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and

after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a

post of the temple of the LORD. <after> <drunk> <eaten> <eli>

1SA-1:10 And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto

the LORD, and wept sore. <bitterness> <lord> <prayed> <she>

1SA-1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou

wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and

remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto

thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD

all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his

head. <affliction> <all> <child> <come> <days> <forget> <give>

1SA-1:12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before

the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. <before> <came> <continued>

1SA-1:13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved,

but her voice was not heard:therefore Eli thought she had been

drunken. <been> <drunken> <eli> <had> <hannah> <heard> <heart>

<voice>

1SA-1:14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken?

put away thy wine from thee. <away> <drunken> <eli> <how> <long>

1SA-1:15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a

woman of a sorrowful spirit:I have drunk neither wine nor strong

drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. <answered>

1SA-1:16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial:for

out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken

hitherto. <belial> <complaint> <count> <daughter> <grief>

1SA-1:17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace:and the God of

Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

1SA-1:18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy

sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her

countenance was no more [sad] . <countenance> <did> <eat> <find>

1SA-1:19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped

before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah:

and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

1SA-1:20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about

after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his

name Samuel, [saying] , Because I have asked him of the LORD.

1SA-1:21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to

offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. <all>

1SA-1:22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband,

[I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and [then] I will

bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide

for ever. <appear> <before> <bring> <child> <ever> <go> <hannah>

1SA-1:23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth

thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD

establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck

until she weaned him. <do> <elkanah> <establish> <gave> <good>

1SA-1:24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her,

with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of

wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh:and

the child [was] young. <bottle> <brought> <bullocks> <child>

1SA-1:25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

1SA-1:26 And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord,

I [am] the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

1SA-1:27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my

petition which I asked of him:<asked> <child> <given> <hath>

1SA-1:28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as

he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the

LORD there. <also> <have> <him> <lent> <liveth> <long> <lord>

1SA-2:1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the

LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD:my mouth is enlarged over

mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. <because>

1SA-2:2 [There is] none holy as the LORD:for [there is] none

beside thee:neither [is there] any rock like our God. <any>

<there>

1SA-2:3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy

come out of your mouth:for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and

by him actions are weighed. <are> <arrogancy> <come> <exceeding>

1SA-2:4 The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that

stumbled are girded with strength. <are> <bows> <broken>

1SA-2:5 [They that were] full have hired out themselves for

bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased:so that the barren

hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

1SA-2:6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive:he bringeth down to

the grave, and bringeth up. <alive> <bringeth> <down> <grave>

1SA-2:7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich:he bringeth low,

and lifteth up. <bringeth> <lifteth> <lord> <low> <maketh>

1SA-2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up

the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and

to make them inherit the throne of glory:for the pillars of the

earth [are] the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

1SA-2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked

shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man

prevail. <darkness> <feet> <keep> <man> <no> <prevail> <saints>

1SA-2:10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces;

out of heaven shall he thunder upon them:the LORD shall judge

the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king,

and exalt the horn of his anointed. <adversaries> <anointed>

1SA-2:11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child

did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest. <before>

1SA-2:12 Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew

not the LORD. <belial> <eli> <knew> <lord> <now> <sons>

1SA-2:13 And the priests' custom with the people [was, that] ,

when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while

the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in

his hand; <any> <came> <custom> <flesh> <fleshhook> <hand> <man>

1SA-2:14 And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron,

or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for

himself. So they did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that

came thither. <all> <brought> <caldron> <came> <did> <fleshhook>

1SA-2:15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant

came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast

for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but

raw. <also> <before> <burnt> <came> <fat> <flesh> <give> <have>

1SA-2:16 And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to

burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul

desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay] ; but thou shalt give

[it me] now:and if not, I will take [it] by force. <answer>

1SA-2:17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great

before the LORD:for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

1SA-2:18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child,

girded with a linen ephod. <before> <being> <child> <ephod>

1SA-2:19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought

[it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband

to offer the yearly sacrifice. <brought> <came> <coat> <him>

1SA-2:20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The

LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to

the LORD. And they went unto their own home. <blessed> <eli>

1SA-2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and

bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew

before the LORD. <bare> <before> <child> <conceived> <daughters>

1SA-2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did

unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled

[at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. <all>

<women>

1SA-2:23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I

hear of your evil dealings by all this people. <all> <dealings>

<your>

1SA-2:24 Nay, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear:ye

make the LORD's people to transgress. <good> <hear> <make> <nay>

1SA-2:25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge

him:but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for

him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their

father, because the LORD would slay them. <against> <another>

1SA-2:26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both

with the LORD, and also with men. <also> <both> <child> <favour>

1SA-2:27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him,

Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy

father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house? <appear>

1SA-2:28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel

[to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to

wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy

father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

1SA-2:29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering,

which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy

sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all

the offerings of Israel my people? <all> <chiefest> <commanded>

1SA-2:30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed

[that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk

before me for ever:but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me;

for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me

shall be lightly esteemed. <before> <despise> <esteemed> <ever>

1SA-2:31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm,

and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an

old man in thine house. <arm> <behold> <come> <cut> <days>

1SA-2:32 And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all

[the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel:and there shall not

be an old man in thine house for ever. <all> <enemy> <ever>

1SA-2:33 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from

mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve

thine heart:and all the increase of thine house shall die in the

flower of their age. <age> <all> <altar> <consume> <cut> <die>

1SA-2:34 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come

upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall

die both of them. <both> <come> <day> <die> <hophni> <on> <one>

1SA-2:35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall

do according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind:

and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine

anointed for ever. <anointed> <before> <build> <do> <ever>

1SA-2:36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is

left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece

of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray

thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece

of bread. <bread> <come> <crouch> <eat> <every> <him> <house>

1SA-3:1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli.

And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; [there

was] no open vision. <before> <child> <days> <eli> <lord>

1SA-3:2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli [was] laid

down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, [that] he

could not see; <began> <came> <could> <dim> <down> <eli> <eyes>

1SA-3:3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the

LORD, where the ark of God [was] , and Samuel was laid down [to

sleep] ; <ark> <down> <ere> <god> <laid> <lamp> <lord> <samuel>

1SA-3:4 That the LORD called Samuel:and he answered, Here [am] I.

1SA-3:5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou

calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he

went and lay down. <again> <called> <calledst> <down> <eli>

1SA-3:6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose

and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me.

And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. <again>

1SA-3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the

word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. <did> <him> <know>

1SA-3:8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he

arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst

call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.

1SA-3:9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down:and it

shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for

thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

1SA-3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other

times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy

servant heareth. <answered> <called> <came> <heareth> <lord>

1SA-3:11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing

in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it

shall tingle. <behold> <both> <do> <ears> <every> <heareth>

<will>

1SA-3:12 In that day I will perform against Eli all [things]

which I have spoken concerning his house:when I begin, I will

also make an end. <against> <all> <also> <begin> <concerning>

1SA-3:13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for

ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made

themselves vile, and he restrained them not. <because> <ever>

1SA-3:14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that

the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice

nor offering for ever. <eli> <ever> <have> <house> <iniquity>

1SA-3:15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors

of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the

vision. <doors> <eli> <feared> <house> <lay> <lord> <morning>

1SA-3:16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And

he answered, Here [am] I. <answered> <called> <eli> <here>

1SA-3:17 And he said, What [is] the thing that [the LORD] hath

said unto thee? I pray thee hide [it] not from me:God do so to

thee, and more also, if thou hide [any] thing from me of all the

things that he said unto thee. <all> <also> <any> <do> <god>

<what>

1SA-3:18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from

him. And he said, It [is] the LORD:let him do what seemeth him

good. <do> <every> <good> <hid> <him> <let> <lord> <nothing>

1SA-3:19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let

none of his words fall to the ground. <did> <fall> <grew>

1SA-3:20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that

Samuel [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD. <all>

1SA-3:21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh:for the LORD

revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

<word>

1SA-4:1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel

went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside

Ebenezer:and the Philistines pitched in Aphek. <against> <all>

1SA-4:2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against

Israel:and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before

the Philistines:and they slew of the army in the field about

four thousand men. <against> <army> <array> <battle> <before>

1SA-4:3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders

of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before

the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the

LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it

may save us out of the hand of our enemies. <among> <ark>

1SA-4:4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from

thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which

dwelleth [between] the cherubims:and the two sons of Eli, Hophni

and Phinehas, [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God.

1SA-4:5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into

the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the

earth rang again. <again> <all> <ark> <came> <camp> <covenant>

1SA-4:6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout,

they said, What [meaneth] the noise of this great shout in the

camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the

LORD was come into the camp. <ark> <camp> <come> <great> <heard>

1SA-4:7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is

come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath

not been such a thing heretofore. <afraid> <been> <camp> <come>

1SA-4:8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of

these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that smote the Egyptians

with all the plagues in the wilderness. <all> <are> <deliver>

1SA-4:9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye

Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they

have been to you:quit yourselves like men, and fight. <been>

1SA-4:10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and

they fled every man into his tent:and there was a very great

slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

1SA-4:11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli,

Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. <ark> <eli> <god> <hophni>

1SA-4:12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and

came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with

earth upon his head. <army> <benjamin> <came> <clothes> <day>

1SA-4:13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the

wayside watching:for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And

when the man came into the city, and told [it] , all the city

cried out. <all> <ark> <came> <city> <cried> <eli> <god> <heart>

1SA-4:14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said,

What [meaneth] the noise of this tumult? And the man came in

hastily, and told Eli. <came> <crying> <eli> <hastily> <heard>

<when>

1SA-4:15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes

were dim, that he could not see. <could> <dim> <eight> <eli>

1SA-4:16 And the man said unto Eli, I [am] he that came out of

the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What

is there done, my son? <army> <came> <day> <done> <eli> <fled>

1SA-4:17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled

before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great

slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and

Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken. <also> <among>

1SA-4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of

God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the

gate, and his neck brake, and he died:for he was an old man, and

heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. <ark> <backward>

1SA-4:19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child,

[near] to be delivered:and when she heard the tidings that the

ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband

were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came

upon her. <ark> <bowed> <came> <child> <daughter> <dead>

<with>

1SA-4:20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by

her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she

answered not, neither did she regard [it] . <answered> <borne>

1SA-4:21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is

departed from Israel:because the ark of God was taken, and

because of her father in law and her husband. <ark> <because>

1SA-4:22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel:for the

ark of God is taken. <ark> <departed> <glory> <god> <israel>

1SA-5:1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it

from Ebenezer unto Ashdod. <ark> <ashdod> <brought> <ebenezer>

1SA-5:2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought

it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. <ark> <brought>

1SA-5:3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow,

behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the

ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place

again. <again> <ark> <arose> <ashdod> <before> <behold> <dagon>

1SA-5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold,

Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of

the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands

[were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was

left to him. <ark> <arose> <before> <behold> <both> <cut>

1SA-5:5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that

come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in

Ashdod unto this day. <any> <ashdod> <come> <dagon> <day>

1SA-5:6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod,

and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even]

Ashdod and the coasts thereof. <ashdod> <coasts> <destroyed>

1SA-5:7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, they

said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us:for

his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god. <ark> <ashdod>

1SA-5:8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the

Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark

of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God

of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark

of the God of Israel about [thither] . <all> <answered> <ark>

1SA-5:9 And it was [so] , that, after they had carried it about,

the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great

destruction:and he smote the men of the city, both small and

great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. <after>

1SA-5:10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it

came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the

Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of

the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people. <ark>

1SA-5:11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the

Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel,

and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and

our people:for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the

city; the hand of God was very heavy there. <again> <all> <ark>

1SA-5:12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods:

and the cry of the city went up to heaven. <city> <cry> <died>

1SA-6:1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the

Philistines seven months. <ark> <country> <lord> <months>

1SA-6:2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the

diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell

us wherewith we shall send it to his place. <ark> <called>

1SA-6:3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of

Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass

offering:then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you

why his hand is not removed from you. <any> <ark> <away> <empty>

1SA-6:4 Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass offering

which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods,

and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of

the Philistines:for one plague [was] on you all, and on your

lords. <all> <answered> <emerods> <five> <golden> <him> <lords>

1SA-6:5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and

images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory

unto the God of Israel:peradventure he will lighten his hand

from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

1SA-6:6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the

Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought

wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they

departed? <among> <departed> <did> <do> <egyptians> <go> <had>

1SA-6:7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine,

on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart,

and bring their calves home from them:<bring> <calves> <cart>

1SA-6:8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart;

and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass

offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away,

that it may go. <ark> <away> <cart> <coffer> <go> <gold> <him>

1SA-6:9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to

Bethshemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil:but if not,

then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us:it

[was] a chance [that] happened to us. <bethshemesh> <chance>

1SA-6:10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied

them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:<calves>

1SA-6:11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and

the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

1SA-6:12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of

Bethshemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went,

and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and

the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of

Bethshemesh. <after> <along> <aside> <bethshemesh> <border>

1SA-6:13 And [they of] Bethshemesh [were] reaping their wheat

harvest in the valley:and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the

ark, and rejoiced to see [it] . <ark> <bethshemesh> <eyes>

<wheat>

1SA-6:14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a

Bethshemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone:

and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a

burnt offering unto the LORD. <bethshemite> <burnt> <came>

1SA-6:15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the

coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were] ,

and put [them] on the great stone:and the men of Bethshemesh

offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day

unto the LORD. <ark> <bethshemesh> <burnt> <coffer> <day> <down>

1SA-6:16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen

[it] , they returned to Ekron the same day. <day> <ekron> <five>

1SA-6:17 And these [are] the golden emerods which the

Philistines returned [for] a trespass offering unto the LORD;

for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for

Ekron one; <are> <ashdod> <askelon> <ekron> <emerods> <gath>

1SA-6:18 And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all

the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords,

[both] of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the

great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD:

[which stone remaineth] unto this day in the field of Joshua,

the Bethshemite. <all> <ark> <belonging> <bethshemite> <both>

1SA-6:19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had

looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people

fifty thousand and threescore and ten men:and the people

lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with

a great slaughter. <ark> <because> <bethshemesh> <even> <fifty>

1SA-6:20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand

before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

1SA-6:21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of

Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the

ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you. <again>

1SA-7:1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the

ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in

the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the

LORD. <ark> <brought> <came> <eleazar> <fetched> <hill> <house>

1SA-7:2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in

Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years:

and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD. <after>

1SA-7:3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying,

If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put

away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare

your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only:and he will

deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. <all> <among>

1SA-7:4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and

Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. <ashtaroth> <away> <baalim>

1SA-7:5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will

pray for you unto the LORD. <all> <gather> <israel> <lord>

1SA-7:6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water,

and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and

said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged

the children of Israel in Mizpeh. <against> <before> <children>

1SA-7:7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of

Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the

Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of

Israel heard [it] , they were afraid of the Philistines.

1SA-7:8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to

cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of

the hand of the Philistines. <cease> <children> <cry> <god>

<will>

1SA-7:9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a

burnt offering wholly unto the LORD:and Samuel cried unto the

LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. <burnt> <cried> <heard>

1SA-7:10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the

Philistines drew near to battle against Israel:but the LORD

thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines,

and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

1SA-7:11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued

the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Bethcar.

1SA-7:12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh

and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto

hath the LORD helped us. <between> <called> <ebenezer> <hath>

1SA-7:13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more

into the coast of Israel:and the hand of the LORD was against

the Philistines all the days of Samuel. <against> <all> <came>

1SA-7:14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from

Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and

the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the

Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

1SA-7:15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

1SA-7:16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and

Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places. <all>

1SA-7:17 And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his

house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar

unto the LORD. <altar> <built> <house> <israel> <judged> <lord>

1SA-8:1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made

his sons judges over Israel. <came> <israel> <judges> <made>

1SA-8:2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of

his second, Abiah:[they were] judges in Beersheba. <beersheba>

1SA-8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside

after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. <after>

1SA-8:4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves

together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, <all> <came> <elders>

1SA-8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons

walk not in thy ways:now make us a king to judge us like all the

nations. <all> <art> <behold> <him> <judge> <king> <like> <make>

1SA-8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us

a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.

1SA-8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of

the people in all that they say unto thee:for they have not

rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not

reign over them. <all> <have> <hearken> <lord> <over> <people>

1SA-8:8 According to all the works which they have done since

the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day,

wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do

they also unto thee. <all> <also> <brought> <day> <do> <done>

1SA-8:9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice:howbeit yet

protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king

that shall reign over them. <hearken> <howbeit> <king> <manner>

1SA-8:10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the

people that asked of him a king. <all> <asked> <him> <king>

1SA-8:11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that

shall reign over you:He will take your sons, and appoint [them]

for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and

[some] shall run before his chariots. <appoint> <before>

1SA-8:12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and

captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground,

and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and

instruments of his chariots. <appoint> <captains> <chariots>

1SA-8:13 And he will take your daughters [to be] confectionaries,

and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers. <bakers>

1SA-8:14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and

your oliveyards, [even] the best [of them] , and give [them] to

his servants. <best> <even> <fields> <give> <oliveyards>

1SA-8:15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your

vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. <give>

<your>

1SA-8:16 And he will take your menservants, and your

maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and

put [them] to his work. <asses> <goodliest> <maidservants> <men>

1SA-8:17 He will take the tenth of your sheep:and ye shall be

his servants. <servants> <sheep> <take> <tenth> <will> <your>

1SA-8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king

which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you

in that day. <because> <chosen> <cry> <day> <have> <hear> <king>

1SA-8:19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of

Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

1SA-8:20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our

king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

1SA-8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he

rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. <all> <ears> <heard>

1SA-8:22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice,

and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go

ye every man unto his city. <city> <every> <go> <hearken>

1SA-9:1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name [was] Kish,

the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the

son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. <aphiah>

1SA-9:2 And he had a son, whose name [was] Saul, a choice young

man, and a goodly:and [there was] not among the children of

Israel a goodlier person than he:from his shoulders and upward

[he was] higher than any of the people. <among> <any> <children>

1SA-9:3 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish

said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee,

and arise, go seek the asses. <arise> <asses> <father> <go>

1SA-9:4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through

the land of Shalisha, but they found [them] not:then they passed

through the land of Shalim, and [there they were] not:and he

passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found [them]

not. <benjamites> <ephraim> <found> <land> <mount> <passed>

1SA-9:5 [And] when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said

to his servant that [was] with him, Come, and let us return;

lest my father leave [caring] for the asses, and take thought

for us. <asses> <caring> <come> <father> <him> <land> <leave>

1SA-9:6 And he said unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this

city a man of God, and [he is] an honourable man; all that he

saith cometh surely to pass:now let us go thither; peradventure

he can show us our way that we should go. <all> <behold> <can>

1SA-9:7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, [if] we go,

what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our

vessels, and [there is] not a present to bring to the man of God:

what have we? <behold> <bread> <bring> <go> <god> <have> <man>

1SA-9:8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I

have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver:[that]

will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way. <again>

1SA-9:9 ( Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of

God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer:for [he that

is] now [called] a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer. )

1SA-9:10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us

go. So they went unto the city where the man of God [was] .

1SA-9:11 [And] as they went up the hill to the city, they found

young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is

the seer here? <city> <draw> <found> <going> <here> <hill>

1SA-9:12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, [he

is] before you:make haste now, for he came to day to the city;

for [there is] a sacrifice of the people to day in the high

place:<answered> <before> <behold> <came> <city> <day> <haste>

1SA-9:13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall

straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat:

for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless

the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now

therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.

1SA-9:14 And they went up into the city:[and] when they were

come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to

go up to the high place. <against> <behold> <came> <city> <come>

1SA-9:15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before

Saul came, saying, <before> <came> <day> <ear> <had> <lord>

1SA-9:16 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of

the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him [to be] captain

over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the

hand of the Philistines:for I have looked upon my people,

because their cry is come unto me. <anoint> <because> <benjamin>

1SA-9:17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him,

Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign

over my people. <behold> <him> <lord> <man> <over> <people>

1SA-9:18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said,

Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house [is] . <drew>

1SA-9:19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I [am] the seer:go

up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to

day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all

that [is] in thine heart. <all> <answered> <before> <day> <eat>

1SA-9:20 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago,

set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom [is]

all the desire of Israel? [Is it] not on thee, and on all thy

father's house? <ago> <all> <are> <asses> <days> <desire>

1SA-9:21 And Saul answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjamite, of

the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of

all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then

speakest thou so to me? <all> <answered> <benjamin> <benjamite>

1SA-9:22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them

into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among

them that were bidden, which [were] about thirty persons.

1SA-9:23 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which

I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee. <bring>

1SA-9:24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and [that] which

[was] upon it, and set [it] before Saul. And [Samuel] said,

Behold that which is left! set [it] before thee, [and] eat:for

unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have

invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day. <been>

1SA-9:25 And when they were come down from the high place into

the city, [Samuel] communed with Saul upon the top of the house.

1SA-9:26 And they arose early:and it came to pass about the

spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the

house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose,

and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. <arose>

1SA-9:27 [And] as they were going down to the end of the city,

Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, ( and he

passed on, ) but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee

the word of God. <before> <bid> <city> <down> <end> <god>

1SA-10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon

his head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD

hath anointed thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?

1SA-10:2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt

find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at

Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou

wentest to seek are found:and, lo, thy father hath left the care

of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for

my son? <are> <art> <asses> <benjamin> <border> <care> <day>

1SA-10:3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou

shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee

three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids,

and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying

a bottle of wine:<another> <bethel> <bottle> <bread> <carrying>

1SA-10:4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two [loaves]

of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands. <bread>

1SA-10:5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where

[is] the garrison of the Philistines:and it shall come to pass,

when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a

company of prophets coming down from the high place with a

psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and

they shall prophesy:<after> <art> <before> <city> <come>

1SA-10:6 And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and

thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another

man. <another> <come> <into> <lord> <man> <prophesy> <spirit>

1SA-10:7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee,

[that] thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [is] with thee.

1SA-10:8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold,

I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, [and] to

sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings:seven days shalt thou

tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.

1SA-10:9 And it was [so] , that when he had turned his back to

go from Samuel, God gave him another heart:and all those signs

came to pass that day. <all> <another> <back> <came> <day>

1SA-10:10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a

company of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came upon him,

and he prophesied among them. <among> <behold> <came> <company>

1SA-10:11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime

saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the

people said one to another, What [is] this [that] is come unto

the son of Kish? [Is] Saul also among the prophets? <all> <also>

1SA-10:12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who

[is] their father? Therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also

among the prophets? <also> <among> <answered> <became> <father>

1SA-10:13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to

the high place. <came> <end> <had> <high> <made> <place>

1SA-10:14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant,

Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses:and when we saw

that [they were] no where, we came to Samuel. <asses> <came>

1SA-10:15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what

Samuel said unto you. <pray> <said> <samuel> <tell> <uncle>

<what>

1SA-10:16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that

the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof

Samuel spake, he told him not. <asses> <found> <him> <kingdom>

1SA-10:17 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to

Mizpeh; <called> <lord> <mizpeh> <people> <samuel> <together>

1SA-10:18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the

LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and

delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the

hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed you:<all>

<thus>

1SA-10:19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself

saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and

ye have said unto him, [Nay] , but set a king over us. Now

therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and

by your thousands. <adversities> <all> <before> <day> <god>

1SA-10:20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to

come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. <all> <benjamin>

1SA-10:21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near

by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the

son of Kish was taken:and when they sought him, he could not be

found. <benjamin> <caused> <come> <could> <families> <family>

1SA-10:22 Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the

man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he

hath hid himself among the stuff. <among> <answered> <behold>

1SA-10:23 And they ran and fetched him thence:and when he stood

among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his

shoulders and upward. <among> <any> <fetched> <higher> <him>

<when>

1SA-10:24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the

LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the

people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.

<whom>

1SA-10:25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom,

and wrote [it] in a book, and laid [it] up before the LORD. And

Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. <all>

1SA-10:26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with

him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched. <also> <band>

1SA-10:27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man

save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But

he held his peace. <belial> <brought> <children> <despised>

<this>

1SA-11:1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against

Jabeshgilead:and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a

covenant with us, and we will serve thee. <against> <all>

1SA-11:2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this

[condition] will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust

out all your right eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all

Israel. <all> <ammonite> <answered> <condition> <covenant>

1SA-11:3 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven

days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts

of Israel:and then, if [there be] no man to save us, we will

come out to thee. <all> <coasts> <come> <elders> <give> <him>

1SA-11:4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told

the tidings in the ears of the people:and all the people lifted

up their voices, and wept. <all> <came> <ears> <gibeah> <lifted>

<wept>

1SA-11:5 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field;

and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they

told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh. <after> <aileth>

1SA-11:6 And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard

those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly. <anger> <came>

1SA-11:7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces,

and sent [them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands

of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and

after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of

the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

1SA-11:8 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of

Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty

thousand. <bezek> <children> <hundred> <israel> <judah> <men>

1SA-11:9 And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall

ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by [that time]

the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and

showed [it] to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. <came>

1SA-11:10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will

come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good

unto you. <all> <come> <do> <good> <jabesh> <men> <morrow>

1SA-11:11 And it was [so] on the morrow, that Saul put the

people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the

host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat

of the day:and it came to pass, that they which remained were

scattered, so that two of them were not left together.

1SA-11:12 And the people said unto Samuel, Who [is] he that said,

Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them

to death. <bring> <death> <may> <men> <over> <people> <put>

1SA-11:13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death

this day:for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.

1SA-11:14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to

Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. <come> <gilgal> <go>

1SA-11:15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made

Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed

sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul

and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly. <all> <before>

1SA-12:1 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have

hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have

made a king over you. <all> <behold> <have> <hearkened> <israel>

1SA-12:2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you:and I am

old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons [are] with you:and I

have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. <are>

1SA-12:3 Behold, here I [am] :witness against me before the LORD,

and before his anointed:whose ox have I taken? or whose ass

have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed?

or of whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind mine eyes

therewith? and I will restore it you. <against> <anointed> <any>

1SA-12:4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor

oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.

1SA-12:5 And he said unto them, The LORD [is] witness against

you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not

found ought in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.

1SA-12:6 And Samuel said unto the people, [It is] the LORD that

advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out

of the land of Egypt. <advanced> <brought> <egypt> <fathers>

1SA-12:7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you

before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he

did to you and to your fathers. <all> <before> <did> <fathers>

1SA-12:8 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried

unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought

forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this

place. <brought> <come> <cried> <dwell> <egypt> <fathers>
