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> <mark>

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>
