king of the North will raise another army, larger than the first, and after some years he will advance with a great army and many supplies.
Daniel 11:12 When the army is carried off, the
king of the South will be proud in heart and will cast down tens of thousands, but he will not triumph.
Daniel 11:11 In a rage, the
king of the South will march out to fight the
king of the North, who will raise a large army, but it will be delivered into the hand of his enemy.
Daniel 11:9 who will invade the realm of the
king of the South and then return to his own land.
Daniel 11:8 He will take even their gods captive to Egypt, with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold. For some years he will stay away from the
king of the North,
Daniel 11:7 But one from her family line will rise up in his place, come against the army of the
king of the North, and enter his fortress, fighting and prevailing.
Daniel 11:6 After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the
king of the South will go to the
king of the North to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her.
Daniel 11:5 The
king of the South will grow strong, but one of his commanders will grow even stronger and will rule his own
kingdom with great authority.
Daniel 11:4 But as soon as he is established, his
kingdom will be broken up and parceled out toward the four winds of heaven. It will not go to his descendants, nor will it have the authority with which he ruled, because his
kingdom will be uprooted and given to others.
Daniel 11:3 Then a mighty
king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.
Daniel 11:2 Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more
kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the
kingdom of Greece.
Daniel 10:15 While he was spea
king these words to me, I set my face toward the ground and became speechless.
Daniel 10:13 However, the prince of the
kingdom of Persia opposed me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the
kings of Persia.
Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus
king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.
Daniel 9:20 While I was spea
king, praying, confessing my sin and that of my people Israel, and presenting my petition before the LORD my God concerning His holy mountain—"
Daniel 9:8 O LORD, we are covered with shame—our
kings, our leaders, and our fathers—because we have sinned against You."
Daniel 9:6 We have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our
kings, leaders, and fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Daniel 9:1 In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the
kingdom of the Chaldeans—"
Daniel 8:27 I, Daniel, was exhausted and lay ill for days. Then I got up and went about the
king’s business. I was confounded by the vision; it was beyond understanding."
Daniel 8:23 In the latter part of their reign, when the rebellion has reached its full measure, an insolent
king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne.
Daniel 8:22 The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four
kingdoms that will rise from that nation, but will not have the same power.
Daniel 8:21 The shaggy goat represents the
king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first
king.
Daniel 8:20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the
kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel 8:18 While he was spea
king with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,
Daniel 8:13 Then I heard a holy one spea
king, and another holy one said to him, “How long until the fulfillment of the vision of the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”"
Daniel 8:1 In the third year of the reign of
King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.
Daniel 7:27 Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the
kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His
kingdom will be an everlasting
kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’"
Daniel 7:24 And the ten horns are ten
kings who will rise from this
kingdom. After them another
king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three
kings.
Daniel 7:23 This is what he said: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth
kingdom that will appear on the earth, different from all the other
kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it."
Daniel 7:22 until the Ancient of Days arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the
kingdom.
Daniel 7:18 But the saints of the Most High will receive the
kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever.’"
Daniel 7:17 ‘These four great beasts are four
kings who will arise from the earth."
Daniel 7:14 And He was given dominion, glory, and
kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His
kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Daniel 7:11 Then I kept watching because of the arrogant words the horn was spea
king. As I continued to watch, the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
Daniel 6:26 I hereby decree that in every part of my
kingdom, men are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel: For He is the living God, and He endures forever; His
kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will never end.
♫ Daniel 6:25 Then
King Darius wrote to the people of every nation and language throughout the land: “May your prosperity abound."
Daniel 6:24 At the command of the
king, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den of lions—they and their children and wives. And before they had reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones."
Daniel 6:23 The
king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den, and when Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wounds whatsoever were found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
Daniel 6:22 My God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O
king.”"
Daniel 6:21 Then Daniel replied, “O
king, may you live forever!"
Daniel 6:19 At the first light of dawn, the
king got up and hurried to the den of lions.
Daniel 6:18 Then the
king went to his palace and spent the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.
Daniel 6:17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the
king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that nothing concerning Daniel could be changed.
Daniel 6:16 So the
king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the den of lions. The
king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”"
Daniel 6:15 Then the men approached the
king together and said to him, “Remember, O
king, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or ordinance established by the
king can be changed.”"
Daniel 6:14 As soon as the
king heard this, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel, and he labored until sundown to rescue him.
Daniel 6:13 Then they told the
king, “Daniel, one of the exiles from Judah, shows no regard for you, O
king, or for the decree that you have signed. He still makes his petition three times a day.”"
Daniel 6:12 So they approached the
king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O
king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The
king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.”"
Daniel 6:9 Therefore
King Darius signed the written decree.
Daniel 6:8 Therefore, O
king, establish the decree and sign the document so that it cannot be changed—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”"
Daniel 6:7 All the royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors have agreed that the
king should establish an ordinance and enforce a decree that for thirty days anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O
king, will be thrown into the den of lions.
Daniel 6:6 So the administrators and satraps went together to the
king and said, “O
King Darius, may you live forever!"
Daniel 6:4 Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the
kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
Daniel 6:3 Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the
king planned to set him over the whole
kingdom.
Daniel 6:2 and over them three administrators, including Daniel, to whom these satraps were accountable so that the
king would not suffer loss.
Daniel 6:1 Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the
kingdom,
Daniel 5:31 and Darius the Mede received the
kingdom at the age of sixty-two.
Daniel 5:30 That very night Belshazzar
king of the Chaldeans was slain,
Daniel 5:29 Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and proclaimed him the third highest ruler in the
kingdom.
Daniel 5:28 PERES means that your
kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”"
Daniel 5:21 He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the
kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.
Daniel 5:18 As for you, O
king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.
Daniel 5:17 In response, Daniel said to the
king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the
king and interpret it for him."
Daniel 5:16 But I have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the
kingdom.”"
Daniel 5:13 So Daniel was brought before the
king, who asked him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the
king brought from Judah?"
Daniel 5:11 There is a man in your
kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father,
King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the
king,
Daniel 5:10 Hearing the outcry of the
king and his nobles, the queen entered the banquet hall. “O
king, may you live forever!” she said. “Do not let your thoughts terrify you, or your face grow pale."
Daniel 5:9 Then
King Belshazzar became even more terrified, his face grew even more pale, and his nobles were bewildered.
Daniel 5:8 So all the
king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or interpret it for him."
Daniel 5:7 The
king called out for the enchanters, astrologers, and diviners to be brought in, and he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this inscription and tells me its interpretation will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the
kingdom.”"
Daniel 5:5 At that moment the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. As the
king watched the hand that was writing,
Daniel 5:3 Thus they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the
king drank from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
Daniel 5:2 Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the
king could drink from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.
Daniel 5:1 Later,
King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he drank wine with them.
Daniel 4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the
King of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.
Daniel 4:36 At the same time my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor returned to me for the glory of my
kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne, and surpassing greatness was added to me.
Daniel 4:34 But at the end of those days I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity was restored to me. Then I praised the Most High, and I honored and glorified Him who lives forever: “For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His
kingdom endures from generation to generation."
Daniel 4:32 You will be driven away from mankind to live with the beasts of the field, and you will feed on grass like an ox. And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the
kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”"
Daniel 4:31 While the words were still in the
king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven: “It is decreed to you,
King Nebuchadnezzar, that the
kingdom has departed from you."
Daniel 4:30 the
king exclaimed, “Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built by the might of my power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?”"
Daniel 4:29 Twelve months later, as he was wal
king on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,
Daniel 4:27 Therefore, may my advice be pleasing to you, O
king. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed. Perhaps there will be an extension of your prosperity.”"
Daniel 4:26 As for the command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots, your
kingdom will be restored to you as soon as you acknowledge that Heaven rules.
Daniel 4:25 You will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field. You will feed on grass like an ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the
kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.
Daniel 4:24 This is the interpretation, O
king, and this is the decree that the Most High has issued against my lord the
king:
Daniel 4:23 And you, O
king, saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying: ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump with its roots in the ground, and a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and graze with the beasts of the field till seven times pass him by.’"
Daniel 4:22 you, O
king, are that tree! For you have become great and strong; your greatness has grown to reach the sky, and your dominion extends to the ends of the earth.
Daniel 4:19 For a time, Daniel, who was also known as Belteshazzar, was perplexed, and his thoughts alarmed him. So the
king said, “Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.” “My lord,” replied Belteshazzar, “may the dream apply to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!"
Daniel 4:18 This is the dream that I,
King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the wise men of my
kingdom can interpret it for me. But you are able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”"
Daniel 4:17 This decision is the decree of the watchers, the verdict declared by the holy ones, so that the living will know that the Most High rules over the
kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes, setting over it the lowliest of men.’"
Daniel 4:3 How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders! His
kingdom is an eternal
kingdom; His dominion endures from generation to generation.
Daniel 4:1 King Nebuchadnezzar, To the people of every nation and language who dwell in all the earth: May your prosperity be multiplied.
Daniel 3:30 Then the
king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Daniel 3:28 Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the
king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God."
Daniel 3:25 “Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, wal
king around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”"
♫ Daniel 3:24 Suddenly
King Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and asked his advisers, “Did we not throw three men, firmly bound, into the fire?” “Certainly, O
king,” they replied."
Daniel 3:22 The
king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the fiery flames killed the men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego."
Daniel 3:18 But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O
king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”"
Daniel 3:17 If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O
king.
Daniel 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the
king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter."
Daniel 3:13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, furious with rage, summoned Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the
king,
Daniel 3:12 But there are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who have ignored you, O
king, and have refused to serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”"
Daniel 3:10 You, O
king, have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the golden statue,
Daniel 3:9 saying to
King Nebuchadnezzar, “O
king, may you live forever!"
Daniel 3:7 Therefore, as soon as all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and all kinds of music, the people of every nation and language would fall down and worship the golden statue that
King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Daniel 3:5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and worship the golden statue that
King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
Daniel 3:3 So the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the rulers of the provinces assembled for the dedication of the statue that
King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and they stood before it.
Daniel 3:2 Then
King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to assemble the satraps, prefects, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the other officials of the provinces to attend the dedication of the statue he had set up.
Daniel 3:1 King Nebuchadnezzar made a golden statue sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, and he set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
Daniel 2:49 And at Daniel’s request, the
king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to manage the province of Babylon, while Daniel remained in the
king’s court."
Daniel 2:48 Then the
king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:47 The
king said to Daniel, “Your God is truly the God of gods and Lord of
kings, the Revealer of Mysteries, since you were able to reveal this mystery.”"
Daniel 2:46 At this,
King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, paid homage to Daniel, and ordered that an offering of incense be presented to him.
Daniel 2:45 And just as you saw a stone being cut out of the mountain without human hands, and it shattered the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold, so the great God has told the
king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”"
Daniel 2:44 In the days of those
kings, the God of heaven will set up a
kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will shatter all these
kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself stand forever.
Daniel 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this
kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
Daniel 2:41 And just as you saw that the feet and toes were made partly of fired clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided
kingdom, yet some of the strength of iron will be in it—just as you saw the iron mixed with clay."
Daniel 2:40 Finally, there will be a fourth
kingdom as strong as iron; for iron shatters and crushes all things, and like iron that crushes all things, it will shatter and crush all the others.
Daniel 2:39 But after you, there will arise another
kingdom, inferior to yours. Next, a third
kingdom, one of bronze, will rule the whole earth.
Daniel 2:37 You, O
king, are the
king of
kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.
Daniel 2:36 This was the dream; now we will tell the
king its interpretation.
Daniel 2:31 As you, O
king, were watching, a great statue appeared. A great and dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was awesome.
Daniel 2:30 And to me this mystery has been revealed, not because I have more wisdom than any man alive, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the
king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.
Daniel 2:29 As you lay on your bed, O
king, your thoughts turned to the future, and the Revealer of Mysteries made known to you what will happen.
Daniel 2:28 But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to
King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the latter days. Your dream and the visions that came into your mind as you lay on your bed were these:
Daniel 2:27 Daniel answered the
king, “No wise man, enchanter, medium, or magician can explain to the
king the mystery of which he inquires."
Daniel 2:26 The
king responded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to tell me what I saw in the dream, as well as its interpretation?”"
Daniel 2:25 Arioch hastily brought Daniel before the
king and said to him, “I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who will tell the
king the interpretation.”"
Daniel 2:24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the
king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, “Do not execute the wise men of Babylon! Bring me before the
king, and I will give him the interpretation.”"
Daniel 2:23 To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have made known to me what we have requested, for You have made known to us the dream of the
king.”"
Daniel 2:21 He changes the times and seasons; He removes
kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
♫2 Daniel 2:16 So Daniel went in and asked the
king to give him some time, so that he could give him the interpretation.
Daniel 2:15 “Why is the decree from the
king so harsh?” he asked. At this time Arioch explained the situation to Daniel."
Daniel 2:14 When Arioch, the commander of the
king’s guard, had gone out to execute the wise men of Babylon, Daniel replied with discretion and tact."
Daniel 2:12 This response made the
king so furious with anger that he gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:11 What the
king requests is so difficult that no one can tell it to him except the gods, whose dwelling is not with mortals.”"
Daniel 2:10 The astrologers answered the
king, “No one on earth can do what the
king requests! No
king, however great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer."
Daniel 2:8 The
king replied, “I know for sure that you are stalling for time, because you see that my word is final."
Daniel 2:7 They answered a second time, “Let the
king tell the dream to his servants, and we will give the interpretation.”"
Daniel 2:5 The
king replied to the astrologers, “My word is final: If you do not tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut into pieces and your houses will be reduced to rubble."
Daniel 2:4 Then the astrologers answered the
king in Aramaic, “O
king, may you live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will give the interpretation.”"
Daniel 2:2 So the
king gave orders to summon the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to explain his dreams. When they came and stood before the
king,
Daniel 1:21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of
King Cyrus.
Daniel 1:20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the
king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his entire
kingdom.
Daniel 1:19 And the
king spoke with them, and among all the young men he found no one equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the
king’s service."
Daniel 1:18 Now at the end of the time specified by the
king, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 1:15 And at the end of ten days, they looked healthier and better nourished than all the young men who were eating the
king’s food."
Daniel 1:10 but he said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the
king, who has assigned your food and drink. For why should he see your faces loo
king thinner than those of the other young men your age? You would endanger my head before the
king!”"
Daniel 1:8 But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the
king’s food or wine. So he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself."
Daniel 1:5 The
king assigned them daily provisions of the royal food and wine. They were to be trained for three years, after which they were to enter the
king’s service."
Daniel 1:4 young men without blemish, handsome, gifted in all wisdom, knowledgeable, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the
king’s palace—and to teach them the language and literature of the Chaldeans."
Daniel 1:3 Then the
king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his court officials, to bring in some Israelites from the royal family and the nobility—"
Daniel 1:2 And the Lord delivered into his hand Jehoiakim
king of Judah, along with some of the articles from the house of God. He carried these off to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, where he put them in the treasury of his god.
Daniel 1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim
king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
Ezekiel 43:9 Now let them remove far from Me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their
kings, and I will dwell among them forever.
Ezekiel 43:7 and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile My holy name—neither they nor their
kings—by their prostitution and by the funeral offerings for their
kings at their deaths."
Ezekiel 43:6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone spea
king to me from inside the temple,
Ezekiel 37:24 My servant David will be
king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.
Ezekiel 37:22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one
king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two
kingdoms.
Ezekiel 33:30 As for you, son of man, your people are tal
king about you near the city walls and in the doorways of their houses. One speaks to another, each saying to his brother, ‘Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD!’"
Ezekiel 32:29 Edom is there, and all her
kings and princes, who despite their might are laid among those slain by the sword. They lie down with the uncircumcised, with those who descend to the Pit.
Ezekiel 32:11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the
king of Babylon will come against you!"
Ezekiel 32:10 I will cause many peoples to be appalled over you, and their
kings will shudder in horror because of you when I brandish My sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.’"
Ezekiel 32:2 “Son of man, take up a lament for Pharaoh
king of Egypt and say to him: ‘You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas. You thrash about in your rivers, churning up the waters with your feet and muddying the streams.’"
Ezekiel 31:2 “Son of man, say to Pharaoh
king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘Who can be compared to your greatness?"
Ezekiel 30:25 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s
king, but Pharaoh’s arms will fall limp. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I place My sword in the hand of Babylon’s
king, and he wields it against the land of Egypt."
Ezekiel 30:24 I will strengthen the arms of Babylon’s
king and place My sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, who will groan before him like a mortally wounded man."
Ezekiel 30:22 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against Pharaoh
king of Egypt. I will break his arms, both the strong one and the one already broken, and will make the sword fall from his hand.
Ezekiel 30:21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh
king of Egypt. See, it has not been bound up for healing, or splinted for strength to hold the sword."
Ezekiel 30:10 This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to the hordes of Egypt by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon.
Ezekiel 29:19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, who will carry off its wealth, seize its spoil, and remove its plunder. This will be the wages for his army.
Ezekiel 29:18 “Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon caused his army to labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it."
Ezekiel 29:15 Egypt will be the lowliest of
kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the nations. For I will diminish Egypt so that it will never again rule over the nations.
Ezekiel 29:14 I will restore Egypt from captivity and bring them back to the land of Pathros, the land of their origin. There they will be a lowly
kingdom.
Ezekiel 29:3 Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh
king of Egypt, O great monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I made it myself.’"
Ezekiel 29:2 “Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh
king of Egypt and prophesy against him and against all Egypt."
Ezekiel 28:24 For the people of Israel will no longer face a pric
king brier or a painful thorn from all around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.’"
Ezekiel 28:17 Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before
kings.
Ezekiel 28:12 “Son of man, take up a lament for the
king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty."
Ezekiel 27:35 All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their
kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.
Ezekiel 27:33 When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the
kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:5 They constructed all your plan
king with cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

king of Babylon,
king of
kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops."
Ezekiel 25:15 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance, ta
king vengeance with malice of soul to destroy Judah with ancient hostility,"

king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem."
Ezekiel 22:3 and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and ma
king idols to defile herself,"
Ezekiel 21:21 For the
king of Babylon stands at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He shakes the arrows, he consults the idols, he examines the liver.
Ezekiel 21:19 “Now you, son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the
king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same land. And make a signpost where the road branches off to each city."
Ezekiel 19:9 With hooks they caged him and brought him to the
king of Babylon. They brought him into captivity so that his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 17:23 I will plant it on the mountain heights of Israel so that it will bear branches; it will yield fruit and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind will nest under it, ta
king shelter in the shade of its branches.
Ezekiel 17:18 He despised the oath by brea
king the covenant. Seeing that he gave his hand in pledge yet did all these things, he will not escape!’"
Ezekiel 17:16 ‘As surely as I live,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘he will die in Babylon, in the land of the
king who enthroned him, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke."
Ezekiel 17:15 But this
king rebelled against Babylon by sending his envoys to Egypt to ask for horses and a large army. Will he flourish? Will the one who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and yet escape?’"
Ezekiel 17:14 so that the
kingdom would be brought low, unable to lift itself up, surviving only by keeping his covenant.
Ezekiel 17:12 “Now say to this rebellious house: ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Behold, the
king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, carried off its
king and officials, and brought them back with him to Babylon."
Ezekiel 16:59 For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by brea
king the covenant.
Ezekiel 16:15 But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the as
king.
Ezekiel 11:5 And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thin
king, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds."
Ezekiel 11:3 They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the coo
king pot, and we are the meat.’"
Ezekiel 7:27 The
king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and I will judge them by their own standards. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”"
Ezekiel 2:2 And as He spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and I heard Him spea
king to me.
Ezekiel 1:28 The appearance of the brilliant light all around Him was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice spea
king.

King Jehoiachin—"

king and her princes are exiled among the nations, the law is no more, and even her prophets find no vision from the LORD.

kingdom and its princes.

king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,"

king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it."

kings are stirred up from the ends of the earth.

king of Babylon and his land as I punished the

king! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”"
Jeremiah 45:1 This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah,
king of Judah:
Jeremiah 44:30 This is what the LORD says: Behold, I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra
king of Egypt into the hands of his enemies who seek his life, just as I delivered Zedekiah
king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, the enemy who was see
king his life.”"
Jeremiah 44:21 “As for the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you, your fathers, your
kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the LORD not remember and bring this to mind?"
Jeremiah 44:17 Instead, we will do everything we vowed to do: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our
kings, and our officials did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and good things, and we saw no disaster.

Jeremiah 43:10 Then tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have embedded, and he will spread his royal pavilion over them."
Jeremiah 43:6 the men, the women, the children, the
king’s daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah."
Jeremiah 42:11 Do not be afraid of the
king of Babylon, whom you now fear; do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you to save you and deliver you from him.
Jeremiah 41:18 to escape the Chaldeans. For they were afraid of the Chaldeans because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the
king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
Jeremiah 41:10 Then Ishmael took captive all the remnant of the people of Mizpah—the daughters of the
king along with all the others who remained in Mizpah—over whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive and set off to cross over to the Ammonites."
Jeremiah 41:9 Now the cistern into which Ishmael had thrown all the bodies of the men he had struck down along with Gedaliah was a large one that
King Asa had made for fear of Baasha
king of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.
Jeremiah 41:2 Then Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him got up and struck down Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, killing the one whom the
king of Babylon had appointed to govern the land.
Jeremiah 41:1 In the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family and one of the
king’s chief officers, came with ten men to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah, and they ate a meal together there."
Jeremiah 40:14 and said to him, “Are you aware that Baalis
king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah son of Ahikam did not believe them."
Jeremiah 40:11 When all the Jews in Moab, Ammon, Edom, and all the other lands heard that the
king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah and had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over them,
Jeremiah 40:9 Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore an oath to them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the
king of Babylon, and it will go well with you."
Jeremiah 40:7 When all the commanders and men of the armies in the field heard that the
king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land and that he had put him in charge of the men, women, and children who were the poorest of the land and had not been exiled to Babylon,
Jeremiah 40:5 But before Jeremiah turned to go, Nebuzaradan added, “Return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the
king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people, or go anywhere else that seems right.” Then the captain of the guard gave him a ration and a gift and released him."
Jeremiah 39:13 So Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the captains of the
king of Babylon
Jeremiah 39:11 Now Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon had given orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, saying,
Jeremiah 39:8 The Chaldeans set fire to the palace of the
king and to the houses of the people, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 39:6 There at Riblah the
king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the nobles of Judah.
Jeremiah 39:5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.
Jeremiah 39:4 When Zedekiah
king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled. They left the city at night by way of the
king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, and they went out along the route to the Arabah."
Jeremiah 39:3 Then all the officials of the
king of Babylon entered and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the rest of the officials of the
king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 39:1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah
king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army and laid siege to the city.
Jeremiah 38:27 When all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him, he relayed to them the exact words the
king had commanded him to say. So they said no more to him, for no one had overheard the conversation.
Jeremiah 38:26 then tell them, ‘I was presenting to the
king my petition that he not return me to the house of Jonathan to die there.’”"
Jeremiah 38:25 If the officials hear that I have spoken with you, and they come and demand of you, ‘Tell us what you said to the
king and what he said to you; do not hide it from us, or we will kill you,’"
Jeremiah 38:23 All your wives and children will be brought out to the Chaldeans. And you yourself will not escape their grasp, for you will be seized by the
king of Babylon, and this city will be burned down.”"
Jeremiah 38:22 All the women who remain in the palace of the
king of Judah will be brought out to the officials of the
king of Babylon, and those women will say: ‘They misled you and overcame you—those trusted friends of yours. Your feet sank into the mire, and they deserted you.’"
Jeremiah 38:19 But
King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, “I am afraid of the Jews who have deserted to the Chaldeans, for the Chaldeans may deliver me into their hands to abuse me.”"
Jeremiah 38:18 But if you do not surrender to the officers of the
king of Babylon, then this city will be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans. They will burn it down, and you yourself will not escape their grasp.’”"
Jeremiah 38:17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “This is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘If you indeed surrender to the officers of the
king of Babylon, then you will live, this city will not be burned down, and you and your household will survive."
Jeremiah 38:16 But
King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has given us this life, I will not kill you, nor will I deliver you into the hands of these men who are see
king your life.”"
Jeremiah 38:14 Then
King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and received him at the third entrance to the house of the LORD. “I am going to ask you something,” said the
king to Jeremiah. “Do not hide anything from me.”"
Jeremiah 38:11 Then Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to the
king’s palace, to a place below the storehouse. From there he took old rags and worn-out clothes and lowered them with ropes to Jeremiah in the cistern."
Jeremiah 38:10 So the
king commanded Ebed-melech the Cushite, “Take thirty men from here with you and pull Jeremiah the prophet out of the cistern before he dies.”"
Jeremiah 38:9 “My lord the
king, these men have acted wickedly in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet. They have dropped him into the cistern, where he will starve to death, for there is no more bread in the city.”"
Jeremiah 38:8 Ebed-melech went out from the
king’s palace and said to the
king,"
Jeremiah 38:7 Now Ebed-melech the Cushite, a court official in the royal palace, heard that Jeremiah had been put into the cistern. While the
king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin,
Jeremiah 38:6 So they took Jeremiah and dropped him into the cistern of Malchiah, the
king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah with ropes into the cistern, which had no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank down into the mud."
Jeremiah 38:5 “Here he is,” replied
King Zedekiah. “He is in your hands, since the
king can do nothing to stop you.”"
Jeremiah 38:4 Then the officials said to the
king, “This man ought to die, for he is discouraging the warriors who remain in this city, as well as all the people, by spea
king such words to them; this man is not see
king the well-being of these people, but their ruin.”"
Jeremiah 38:3 This is what the LORD says: This city will surely be delivered into the hands of the army of the
king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”"
Jeremiah 37:21 So
King Zedekiah gave orders for Jeremiah to be placed in the courtyard of the guard and given a loaf of bread daily from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah remained in the courtyard of the guard.
Jeremiah 37:20 But now please listen, O my lord the
king. May my petition come before you. Do not send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”"
Jeremiah 37:19 Where are your prophets who prophesied to you, claiming, ‘The
king of Babylon will not come against you or this land’?"
Jeremiah 37:18 Then Jeremiah asked
King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you or your servants or these people, that you have put me in prison?"
Jeremiah 37:17 Later,
King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah and received him in his palace, where he asked him privately, “Is there a word from the LORD?” “There is,” Jeremiah replied. “You will be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon.”"
Jeremiah 37:7 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says that you are to tell the
king of Judah, who sent you to Me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to help you, will go back to its own land of Egypt."
Jeremiah 37:3 Yet
King Zedekiah sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet with the message, “Please pray to the LORD our God for us!”"
Jeremiah 37:1 Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon made Zedekiah son of Josiah the
king of Judah, and he reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim.
Jeremiah 36:32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s dictation he wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim
king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them."
Jeremiah 36:30 Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim
king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night."
Jeremiah 36:29 You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim
king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the
king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’"
Jeremiah 36:28 “Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim
king of Judah has burned."
Jeremiah 36:27 After the
king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:"
Jeremiah 36:26 Instead, the
king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the
king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
Jeremiah 36:25 Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the
king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
Jeremiah 36:24 Yet in hearing all these words, the
king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
Jeremiah 36:22 Since it was the ninth month, the
king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
Jeremiah 36:21 Then the
king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the
king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
Jeremiah 36:20 So the officials went to the
king in the courtyard. And having stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, they reported everything to the
king.
Jeremiah 36:16 When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the
king.”"
Jeremiah 36:12 he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the
king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials."
Jeremiah 36:9 Now in the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah
king of Judah, a fast before the LORD was proclaimed to all the people of Jerusalem and all who had come there from the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 36:1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah
king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
Jeremiah 35:11 So when Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon marched into the land, we said: ‘Come, let us go into Jerusalem to escape the armies of the Chaldeans and the Arameans.’ So we have remained in Jerusalem.”"
Jeremiah 35:1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah
king of Judah:
Jeremiah 34:21 And I will deliver Zedekiah
king of Judah and his officials into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the
king of Babylon that had withdrawn from you.
Jeremiah 34:17 Therefore this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed Me; you have not proclaimed freedom, each man for his brother and for his neighbor. So now I proclaim freedom for you, declares the LORD—freedom to fall by sword, by plague, and by famine! I will make you a horror to all the
kingdoms of the earth."
Jeremiah 34:8 After
King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty, the word came to Jeremiah from the LORD
Jeremiah 34:7 as the army of the
king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the remaining cities of Judah—against Lachish and Azekah. For these were the only fortified cities remaining in Judah."
Jeremiah 34:6 In Jerusalem, then, Jeremiah the prophet relayed all these words to Zedekiah
king of Judah
Jeremiah 34:5 you will die in peace. As spices were burned for your fathers, the former
kings who preceded you, so people will burn spices for you and lament, ‘Alas, O master!’ For I Myself have spoken this word, declares the LORD.”"
Jeremiah 34:4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah
king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;
Jeremiah 34:3 And you yourself will not escape his grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the
king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face; and you will go to Babylon.
Jeremiah 34:2 The LORD, the God of Israel, told Jeremiah to go and speak to Zedekiah
king of Judah and tell him that this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the
king of Babylon, and he will burn it down."
Jeremiah 34:1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, all his army, all the earthly
kingdoms under his control, and all the other nations were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities.
Jeremiah 33:4 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses of this city and the palaces of the
kings of Judah that have been torn down for defense against the siege ramps and the sword:
Jeremiah 32:36 Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:"
Jeremiah 32:32 because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their
kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem."
Jeremiah 32:28 Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, who will capture it.
Jeremiah 32:4 Zedekiah
king of Judah will not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.
Jeremiah 32:3 For Zedekiah
king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying like this? You claim that the LORD says, ‘Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the
king of Babylon, and he will capture it."
Jeremiah 32:2 At that time the army of the
king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, which was in the palace of the
king of Judah.
Jeremiah 32:1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah
king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Jeremiah 30:9 Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their
king, whom I will raise up for them.
Jeremiah 29:23 For they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with the wives of their neighbors and spea
king lies in My name, which I did not command them to do. I am He who knows, and I am a witness, declares the LORD.”"
Jeremiah 29:22 Because of them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the
king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’"
Jeremiah 29:21 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you lies in My name: “I will deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes."
Jeremiah 29:18 I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a horror to all the
kingdoms of the earth—a curse, a desolation, and an object of scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I banish them."
Jeremiah 29:16 this is what the LORD says about the
king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile—"
Jeremiah 29:3 The letter was entrusted to Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah
king of Judah sent to
King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It stated:
Jeremiah 29:2 (This was after
King Jeconiah, the queen mother, the court officials, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalsmiths had been exiled from Jerusalem.)
Jeremiah 28:14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’”"
Jeremiah 28:11 And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way."
Jeremiah 28:8 The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great
kingdoms.
Jeremiah 28:7 Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am spea
king in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.
Jeremiah 28:4 And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim
king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the
king of Babylon.’”"
Jeremiah 28:3 Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:2 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the
king of Babylon."
Jeremiah 28:1 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of
King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:
Jeremiah 27:21 Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the
king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
Jeremiah 27:20 which Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim
king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 27:18 If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the
king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
Jeremiah 27:17 Do not listen to them. Serve the
king of Babylon and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
Jeremiah 27:14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the
king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie."
Jeremiah 27:13 Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the
king of Babylon?
Jeremiah 27:12 And to Zedekiah
king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the
king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!"
Jeremiah 27:11 But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the
king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”"
Jeremiah 27:9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the
king of Babylon.’"
Jeremiah 27:8 As for the nation or
kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.
Jeremiah 27:7 All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great
kings will enslave him.
Jeremiah 27:6 So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.
Jeremiah 27:3 Send word to the
kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah
king of Judah.
Jeremiah 27:1 At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah
king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
Jeremiah 26:23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to
King Jehoiakim, who had him put to the sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.
Jeremiah 26:22 Then
King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor along with some other men.
Jeremiah 26:21 King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the
king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.
Jeremiah 26:19 Did Hezekiah
king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”"
Jeremiah 26:18 “Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah
king of Judah and told all the people of Judah that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.’"
Jeremiah 26:10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the
king’s palace to the house of the LORD and sat there at the entrance of the New Gate."
Jeremiah 26:7 Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah spea
king these words in the house of the LORD,
Jeremiah 26:1 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah
king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
Jeremiah 25:26 all the
kings of the north, both near and far, one after another—all the
kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the
king of Sheshach will drink it too."
Jeremiah 25:24 all the
kings of Arabia, and all the
kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;
Jeremiah 25:22 all the
kings of Tyre and Sidon; the
kings of the coastlands across the sea;
Jeremiah 25:20 all the mixed tribes; all the
kings of Uz; all the
kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
Jeremiah 25:19 Pharaoh
king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
Jeremiah 25:18 to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its
kings and officials;"
Jeremiah 25:14 For many nations and great
kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”"
Jeremiah 25:12 But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the
king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
Jeremiah 25:11 And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the
king of Babylon for seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:9 behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
Jeremiah 25:3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon
king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened."
Jeremiah 25:1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah
king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 24:9 I will make them a horror and an offense to all the
kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing wherever I have banished them.
Jeremiah 24:8 But like the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the LORD, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah
king of Judah, his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem—those remaining in this land and those living in the land of Egypt."
Jeremiah 24:1 After Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon had carried away Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim
king of Judah, as well as the officials of Judah and the craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:5 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign wisely as
King and will administer justice and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah 22:25 In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life—to Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans."
Jeremiah 22:24 “As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim
king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off."
Jeremiah 22:18 Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah
king of Judah: “They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’"
Jeremiah 22:15 Does it make you a
king to excel in cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, and so it went well with him.
Jeremiah 22:11 For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah,
king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,"
Jeremiah 22:10 Do not weep for the dead
king; do not mourn his loss. Weep bitterly for the one who is exiled, for he will never return to see his native land.
Jeremiah 22:6 For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the
king of Judah: “You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will surely turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited."
♫ Jeremiah 22:4 For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then
kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people."
Jeremiah 22:2 saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O
king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates."
Jeremiah 22:1 This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the
king of Judah and proclaim this message there,"
Jeremiah 21:11 Moreover, tell the house of the
king of Judah to hear the word of the LORD.
Jeremiah 21:10 For I have set My face against this city to bring disaster and not good, declares the LORD. It will be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon, who will destroy it with fire.’"
Jeremiah 21:7 ‘After that,’ declares the LORD, ‘I will hand over Zedekiah
king of Judah, his officers, and the people in this city who survive the plague and sword and famine, to Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon and to their enemies who seek their lives. He will put them to the sword; he will not spare them or show pity or compassion.’"
Jeremiah 21:4 this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will turn against you the weapons of war in your hands, with which you are fighting the
king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the wall, and I will assemble their forces in the center of this city."
Jeremiah 21:2 “Please inquire of the LORD on our behalf, since Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon is waging war against us. Perhaps the LORD will perform for us something like all His past wonders, so that Nebuchadnezzar will withdraw from us.”"
Jeremiah 21:1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when
King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malchijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said,
Jeremiah 20:5 I will give away all the wealth of this city—all its products and valuables, and all the treasures of the
kings of Judah—to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon."
Jeremiah 20:4 For this is what the LORD says: ‘I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the
king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword."
Jeremiah 19:13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the
kings of Judah will be defiled like that place, Topheth—all the houses on whose rooftops they burned incense to all the host of heaven and poured out drink offerings to other gods.”"
Jeremiah 19:4 because they have abandoned Me and made this a foreign place. They have burned incense in this place to other gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the
kings of Judah have ever known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
Jeremiah 19:3 saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O
kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that the ears of all who hear of it will ring,"

kingdom,
Jeremiah 18:7 At any time I might announce that a nation or
kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.
Jeremiah 18:3 So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him wor
king at the wheel."

kings of Judah, all people of Judah and Jerusalem who enter through these gates."

kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah
king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 13:18 Say to the
king and to the queen mother: “Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.”"

kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem."

King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”"
Jeremiah 8:6 I have listened and heard; they do not speak what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, as
king, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone has pursued his own course like a horse charging into battle."
Jeremiah 8:1 “At that time,” declares the LORD, “the bones of the
kings of Judah, the bones of the officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves."

Jeremiah 2:17 Have you not brought this on yourself by forsa

Isaiah 39:1 At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan
king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness and recovery."
Isaiah 38:9 This is a writing by Hezekiah
king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
Isaiah 38:6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the

Job 1:18 While he was still spea
king, another messenger came and reported: “Your sons and daughters were eating and drin
king wine in their oldest brother’s house,"
Job 1:17 While he was still spea
king, another messenger came and reported: “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels, and took them away. They put the servants to the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”"
Job 1:16 While he was still spea
king, another messenger came and reported: “The fire of God fell from heaven. It burned and consumed the sheep and the servants, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”"
Job 1:13 One day, while Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drin
king wine in their oldest brother’s house,"
Job 1:7 “Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and wal
king back and forth in it.”"
Esther 10:3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to
King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews and highly favored by his many kinsmen, see
king the good of his people and spea
king peace to all his countrymen.
Esther 10:2 And all of Mordecai’s powerful and magnificent accomplishments, together with the full account of the greatness to which the
king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Media and Persia?"
Esther 10:1 Now
King Xerxes imposed tribute throughout the land, even to its farthest shores.
Esther 9:30 And Mordecai sent letters with words of peace and truth to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the
kingdom of Xerxes,
Esther 9:25 But when it came before the
king, he commanded by letter that the wicked scheme which Haman had devised against the Jews should come back upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Esther 9:20 Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews in all the provinces of
King Xerxes, both near and far,
Esther 9:18 The Jews in Susa, however, had assembled on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, ma
king it a day of feasting and joy.
Esther 9:17 This was done on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested, ma
king it a day of feasting and joy.
Esther 9:14 So the
king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
Esther 9:13 Esther replied, “If it pleases the
king, may the Jews in Susa also have tomorrow to carry out today’s edict, and may the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”"
Esther 9:11 On that day the number of those killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the
king,
Esther 9:3 And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and the
king’s administrators helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them."
Esther 9:2 In each of the provinces of
King Xerxes, the Jews assembled in their cities to attack those who sought to harm them. No man could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.
Esther 9:1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the
king’s command and edict were to be executed. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but their plan was overturned and the Jews overpowered those who hated them."
Esther 8:17 In every province and every city, wherever the
king’s edict and decree reached, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many of the people of the land themselves became Jews, because the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them."
Esther 8:15 Mordecai went out from the presence of the
king in royal garments of blue and white, with a large gold crown and a purple robe of fine linen. And the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.
Esther 8:14 The couriers rode out in haste on their royal horses, pressed on by the command of the
king. And the edict was also issued in the citadel of Susa.
Esther 8:12 The single day appointed throughout all the provinces of
King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Esther 8:11 By these letters the
king permitted the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province hostile to them, including women and children, and to plunder their possessions.
Esther 8:10 Mordecai wrote in the name of
King Xerxes and sealed it with the royal signet ring. He sent the documents by mounted couriers riding on swift horses bred from the royal mares.
Esther 8:8 Now you may write in the
king’s name as you please regarding the Jews, and seal it with the royal signet ring. For a decree that is written in the name of the
king and sealed with the royal signet ring cannot be revoked.”"
Esther 8:7 So
King Xerxes said to Esther the Queen and Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, I have given Haman’s estate to Esther, and he was hanged on the gallows because he attacked the Jews."
Esther 8:5 “If it pleases the
king,” she said, “and if I have found favor in his sight, and the matter seems proper to the
king, and I am pleasing in his sight, may an order be written to revoke the letters that the scheming Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, wrote to destroy the Jews in all the
king’s provinces."
Esther 8:4 The
king extended the gold scepter toward Esther, and she arose and stood before the
king.
Esther 8:3 And once again, Esther addressed the
king. She fell at his feet weeping and begged him to revoke the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews.
Esther 8:2 The
king removed the signet ring he had recovered from Haman and presented it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over the estate of Haman.
Esther 8:1 That same day
King Xerxes awarded Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai entered the
king’s presence because Esther had revealed his relation to her."
Esther 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the
king subsided.
Esther 7:9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the
king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high at Haman’s house. He had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the
king.” “Hang him on it!” declared the
king."
Esther 7:8 Just as the
king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The
king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the
king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face."
Esther 7:7 In his fury, the
king arose from drin
king his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the
king was planning a terrible fate for him.
Esther 7:6 Esther replied, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked man—Haman!” And Haman stood in terror before the
king and queen."
Esther 7:5 Then
King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”"
Esther 7:4 For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the
king.”"
Esther 7:3 Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O
king, and if it pleases the
king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request."
Esther 7:2 and as they drank their wine on that second day, the
king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the
kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”"
Esther 7:1 So the
king and Haman went to dine with Esther the queen,
Esther 6:14 While they were still spea
king with Haman, the
king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared."
Esther 6:12 Then Mordecai returned to the
king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief."
Esther 6:11 So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the
king is delighted to honor!”"
Esther 6:10 “Hurry,” said the
king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the
king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”"
Esther 6:9 Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the
king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the
king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the
king is delighted to honor!’”"
Esther 6:8 have them bring a royal robe that the
king himself has worn and a horse on which the
king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head."
Esther 6:7 And Haman told the
king, “For the man whom the
king is delighted to honor,"
Esther 6:6 Haman entered, and the
king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the
king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the
king be delighted to honor more than me?”"
Esther 6:5 So the
king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the
king."
Esther 6:4 “Who is in the court?” the
king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the
king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him."
Esther 6:3 The
king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the
king’s attendants."
Esther 6:2 And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the
king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate
King Xerxes."
Esther 6:1 That night sleep escaped the
king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
Esther 5:14 His wife Zeresh and all his friends told him, “Have them build a gallows fifty cubits high, and ask the
king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the banquet with the
king and enjoy yourself.” The advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows constructed."
Esther 5:13 Yet none of this satisfies me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the
king’s gate.”"
Esther 5:12 “What is more,” Haman added, “Queen Esther invited no one but me to join the
king at the banquet she prepared, and I am invited back tomorrow along with the
king."
Esther 5:11 Haman recounted to them his glorious wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the
king had honored and promoted him over the other officials and servants.
Esther 5:9 That day Haman went out full of joy and glad of heart. At the
king’s gate, however, he saw Mordecai, who did not rise or tremble in fear at his presence. And Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai."
Esther 5:8 If I have found favor in the sight of the
king, and if it pleases the
king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, may the
king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the
king’s question.”"
Esther 5:6 And as they drank their wine, the
king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the
kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”"
Esther 5:5 “Hurry,” commanded the
king, “and bring Haman, so we can do as Esther has requested.” So the
king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared."
Esther 5:4 “If it pleases the
king,” Esther replied, “may the
king and Haman come today to the banquet I have prepared for the
king.”"
Esther 5:3 “What is it, Queen Esther?” the
king inquired. “What is your request? Even up to half the
kingdom, it will be given to you.”"
Esther 5:2 As soon as the
king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight. The
king extended the gold scepter in his hand toward Esther, and she approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
Esther 5:1 On the third day, Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace across from the
king’s quarters. The
king was sitting on his royal throne in the royal courtroom, facing the entrance."
Esther 4:16 “Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the
king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!”"
Esther 4:14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows if perhaps you have come to the
kingdom for such a time as this?”"
Esther 4:13 he sent back to her this reply: “Do not imagine that because you are in the
king’s palace you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews."
Esther 4:11 “All the royal officials and the people of the
king’s provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the
king in the inner court without being summoned—that he be put to death. Only if the
king extends the gold scepter may that person live. But I have not been summoned to appear before the
king for the past thirty days.”"
Esther 4:8 Mordecai also gave Hathach a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for the destruction of the Jews, to show and explain to Esther, urging her to approach the
king, implore his favor, and plead before him for her people.
Esther 4:6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square in front of the
king’s gate,"
Esther 4:5 Then Esther summoned Hathach, one of the
king’s eunuchs appointed to her, and she dispatched him to Mordecai to learn what was troubling him and why."
Esther 4:3 In every province to which the
king’s command and edict came, there was great mourning among the Jews. They fasted, wept, and lamented, and many lay in sackcloth and ashes."
Esther 4:2 But he went only as far as the
king’s gate, because the law prohibited anyone wearing sackcloth from entering that gate."
Esther 3:15 The couriers left, spurred on by the
king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. Then the
king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in confusion."
Esther 3:12 On the thirteenth day of the first month, the royal scribes were summoned and the order was written exactly as Haman commanded the royal satraps, the governors of each province, and the officials of each people, in the script of each province and the language of every people. It was written in the name of
King Xerxes and sealed with the royal signet ring.
Esther 3:11 “Keep your money,” said the
king to Haman. “These people are given to you to do with them as you please.”"
Esther 3:10 So the
king removed the signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
Esther 3:9 If it pleases the
king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will deposit ten thousand talents of silver into the royal treasury to pay those who carry it out.”"
Esther 3:8 Then Haman informed
King Xerxes, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples of every province of your
kingdom. Their laws are different from everyone else’s, and they do not obey the
king’s laws. So it is not in the
king’s best interest to tolerate them."
Esther 3:7 In the twelfth year of
King Xerxes, in the first month, the month of Nisan, the Pur (that is, the lot) was cast before Haman to determine a day and month. And the lot fell on the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Esther 3:6 And when he learned the identity of Mordecai’s people, he scorned the notion of laying hands on Mordecai alone. Instead, he sought to destroy all of Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the
kingdom of Xerxes."
Esther 3:3 Then the royal servants at the
king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the command of the
king?”"
Esther 3:2 All the royal servants at the
king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, because the
king had commanded that this be done for him. But Mordecai would not bow down or pay homage."
Esther 3:1 After these events,
King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him to a position above all the princes who were with him.
Esther 2:23 After the report had been investigated and verified, both officials were hanged on the gallows. And all this was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles in the presence of the
king.
Esther 2:22 When Mordecai learned of the plot, he reported it to Queen Esther, and she informed the
king on Mordecai’s behalf."
Esther 2:21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the
king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the
king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance, grew angry and conspired to assassinate
King Xerxes."
Esther 2:19 When the virgins were assembled a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the
king’s gate."
Esther 2:18 Then the
king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and servants. He proclaimed a tax holiday in the provinces and gave gifts worthy of the
king’s bounty."
Esther 2:17 And the
king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all of the other virgins. So he placed the royal crown upon her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.
Esther 2:16 She was taken to
King Xerxes in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
Esther 2:15 Now Esther was the daughter of Abihail, the uncle from whom Mordecai had adopted her as his own daughter. And when it was her turn to go to the
king, she did not ask for anything except what Hegai, the
king’s trusted official in charge of the harem, had advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of everyone who saw her."
Esther 2:14 She would go there in the evening, and in the morning she would return to a second harem under the care of Shaashgaz, the
king’s eunuch in charge of the concubines. She would not return to the
king unless he delighted in her and summoned her by name."
Esther 2:13 When the young woman would go to the
king, she was given whatever she requested to take with her from the harem to the
king’s palace."
Esther 2:12 In the twelve months before her turn to go to
King Xerxes, the harem regulation required each young woman to receive beauty treatments with oil of myrrh for six months, and then with perfumes and cosmetics for another six months.
Esther 2:8 When the
king’s command and edict had been proclaimed, many young women gathered at the citadel of Susa under the care of Hegai. Esther was also taken to the palace and placed under the care of Hegai, the custodian of the women."
Esther 2:6 He had been carried into exile from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon among those taken captive with Jeconiah
king of Judah.
Esther 2:4 Then let the young woman who pleases the
king become queen in place of Vashti.” This suggestion pleased the
king, and he acted accordingly."
Esther 2:3 and let the
king appoint commissioners in each province of his
kingdom to assemble all the beautiful young women into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the
king’s eunuch in charge of the women, and let them be given beauty treatments."
Esther 2:2 Then the
king’s attendants proposed, “Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the
king,"
Esther 2:1 Some time later, when the anger of
King Xerxes had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.
Esther 1:22 He sent letters to all the provinces of the
kingdom, to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, proclaiming that every man should be master of his own household.
Esther 1:21 The
king and his princes were pleased with this counsel; so the
king did as Memucan had advised.
Esther 1:20 The edict the
king issues will be heard throughout his vast
kingdom—and so all women, from the least to the greatest, will honor their husbands.”"
Esther 1:19 So if it pleases the
king, let him issue a royal decree, and let it be recorded in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti shall never again enter the presence of
King Xerxes, and that her royal position shall be given to a woman better than she.
Esther 1:18 This very day the noble women of Persia and Media who have heard about the queen’s conduct will say the same thing to all the
king’s officials, resulting in much contempt and wrath."
Esther 1:17 For the conduct of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to despise their husbands and say, ‘
King Xerxes ordered Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she did not come.’"
Esther 1:16 And in the presence of the
king and his princes, Memucan replied, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the
king, but all the princes and the peoples in all the provinces of
King Xerxes."
Esther 1:15 “According to law,” he asked, “what should be done with Queen Vashti, since she refused to obey the command of
King Xerxes delivered by the eunuchs?”"
Esther 1:14 His closest advisors were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who had personal access to the
king and ranked highest in the
kingdom.
Esther 1:13 Then the
king consulted the wise men who knew the times, for it was customary for him to confer with the experts in law and justice.
Esther 1:12 Queen Vashti, however, refused to come at the
king’s command brought by his eunuchs. And the
king became furious, and his anger burned within him."
Esther 1:10 On the seventh day, when the
king’s heart was merry with wine, he ordered the seven eunuchs who served him—Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas—"
Esther 1:9 Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace of
King Xerxes.
Esther 1:8 By order of the
king, no limit was placed on the drin
king, and every official of his household was to serve each man whatever he desired.
Esther 1:7 Beverages were served in an array of goblets of gold, each with a different design, and the royal wine flowed freely, according to the
king’s bounty."
Esther 1:5 At the end of this time, in the garden court of the royal palace, the
king held a seven-day feast for all the people in the citadel of Susa, from the least to the greatest.
Esther 1:4 And for a full 180 days he displayed the glorious riches of his
kingdom and the magnificent splendor of his greatness.
Esther 1:2 In those days
King Xerxes sat on his royal throne in the citadel of Susa.
Nehemiah 13:26 Did not
King Solomon of Israel sin in matters like this? There was not a
king like him among many nations, and he was loved by his God, who made him
king over all Israel—yet foreign women drew him into sin."
Nehemiah 13:6 While all this was happening, I was not in Jerusalem, because I had returned to Artaxerxes
king of Babylon in the thirty-second year of his reign. Some time later I obtained leave from the
king Nehemiah 11:24 Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, a descendant of Zerah son of Judah, was the
king’s agent in every matter concerning the people."
Nehemiah 11:23 For there was a command from the
king concerning the singers, an ordinance regulating their daily activities.
Nehemiah 9:37 Its abundant harvest goes to the
kings You have set over us because of our sins. And they rule over our bodies and our livestock as they please. We are in great distress.
Nehemiah 9:35 For even while they were in their
kingdom, with the abundant goodness that You had given them, and in the spacious and fertile land that You had set before them, they would not serve You or turn from their wicked ways.
Nehemiah 9:34 Our
kings and leaders and priests and fathers did not obey Your law or listen to Your commandments and warnings that You gave them.
Nehemiah 9:32 So now, our God, the great and mighty and awesome God who keeps His gracious covenant, do not view lightly all the hardship that has come upon us, and upon our
kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors and all Your people, from the days of the
kings of Assyria until today.
Nehemiah 9:24 So their descendants went in and possessed the land; You subdued before them the Canaanites dwelling in the land. You delivered into their hands the
kings and peoples of the land, to do with them as they wished.
Nehemiah 9:22 You gave them
kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner of the land. So they took the land of Sihon
king of Heshbon and of Og
king of Bashan.
Nehemiah 7:6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its
king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
Nehemiah 6:7 and you have even appointed prophets in Jerusalem to proclaim on your behalf: ‘There is a
king in Judah.’ Soon these rumors will reach the ears of the
king. So come, let us confer together.”"
Nehemiah 6:6 that read: “It is reported among the nations—and Geshem agrees—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and this is why you are building the wall. According to these reports, you are to become their
king,"
Nehemiah 5:15 The governors before me had heavily burdened the people, ta
king from them bread and wine plus forty shekels of silver. Their servants also oppressed the people, but I did not do this because of my fear of God.
Nehemiah 5:14 Furthermore, from the day
King Artaxerxes appointed me to be their governor in the land of Judah, from his twentieth year until his thirty-second year (twelve years total), neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor.
Nehemiah 5:4 Still others were saying, “We have borrowed money to pay the
king’s tax on our fields and vineyards."
Nehemiah 3:25 and Palal son of Uzai made repairs opposite the angle and the tower that juts out from the upper palace of the
king near the courtyard of the guard. Next to him, Pedaiah son of Parosh
Nehemiah 3:15 The Fountain Gate was repaired by Shallun son of Col-hozeh, ruler of the district of Mizpah. He rebuilt it, roofed it, and installed its doors, bolts, and bars. He also repaired the wall of the Pool of Shelah near the
king’s garden, as far as the stairs that descend from the City of David."
Nehemiah 2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard about this, they mocked us and ridiculed us, saying, “What is this you are doing? Are you rebelling against the
king?”"
Nehemiah 2:18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me, and what the
king had said to me. “Let us start rebuilding,” they replied, and they set their hands to this good work."
Nehemiah 2:14 Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and the
King’s Pool, but there was no room for the animal under me to get through;"
Nehemiah 2:9 Then I went to the governors west of the Euphrates and gave them the
king’s letters. The
king had also sent army officers and cavalry with me."
Nehemiah 2:8 And may I have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the
king’s forest, so that he will give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house I will occupy.” And because the gracious hand of my God was upon me, the
king granted my requests."
Nehemiah 2:7 I also said to him, “If it pleases the
king, may letters be given to me for the governors west of the Euphrates, so that they will grant me safe passage until I reach Judah."
Nehemiah 2:6 Then the
king, with the queen seated beside him, asked me, “How long will your journey take, and when will you return?” So it pleased the
king to send me, and I set a time."
Nehemiah 2:5 and answered the
king, “If it pleases the
king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city where my fathers are buried, so that I may rebuild it.”"
Nehemiah 2:4 “What is your request?” replied the
king. So I prayed to the God of heaven"
Nehemiah 2:3 and replied to the
king, “May the
king live forever! Why should I not be sad when the city where my fathers are buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?”"
Nehemiah 2:2 so the
king said to me, “Why is your face sad, though you are not ill? This could only be sadness of the heart.” I was overwhelmed with fear"
Nehemiah 2:1 Now in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of
King Artaxerxes, when wine was set before him, I took the wine and gave it to the
king. I had never been sad in his presence,
Nehemiah 1:11 O Lord, may Your ear be attentive to my prayer and to the prayers of Your servants who delight to revere Your name. Give Your servant success this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” (At that time I was the cupbearer to the
king.)"
Ezra 9:9 Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but He has extended to us grace in the sight of the
kings of Persia, giving us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and giving us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem.
Ezra 9:7 From the days of our fathers to this day, our guilt has been great. Because of our iniquities, we and our
kings and priests have been delivered into the hands of the
kings of the earth and put to the sword and captivity, to pillage and humiliation, as we are this day.
Ezra 8:36 They also delivered the
king’s edicts to the royal satraps and governors of the region west of the Euphrates, who proceeded to assist the people and the house of God."
Ezra 8:25 and I weighed out to them the contribution of silver and gold and the articles that the
king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites there had offered for the house of our God.
Ezra 8:22 For I was ashamed to ask the
king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”"
Ezra 8:1 These are the family heads and genealogical records of those who returned with me from Babylon during the reign of
King Artaxerxes:
Ezra 7:28 and who has shown me favor before the
king, his counselors, and all his powerful officials. And because the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, I took courage and gathered the leaders of Israel to return with me.
Ezra 7:27 Blessed be the LORD, the God of our fathers, who has put into the heart of the
king to so honor the house of the LORD in Jerusalem,
Ezra 7:26 If anyone does not keep the law of your God and the law of the
king, let a strict judgment be executed against him, whether death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.
Ezra 7:23 Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven must be done diligently for His house. For why should wrath fall on the realm of the
king and his sons?
Ezra 7:21 I,
King Artaxerxes, decree to all the treasurers west of the Euphrates: Whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it must be provided promptly,
Ezra 7:15 Moreover, you are to take with you the silver and gold that the
king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem,
Ezra 7:14 You are sent by the
king and his seven counselors to evaluate Judah and Jerusalem according to the Law of your God, which is in your hand.
Ezra 7:13 I hereby decree that any volunteers among the Israelites in my
kingdom, including the priests and Levites, may go up with you to Jerusalem.
Ezra 7:12 Artaxerxes,
king of
kings. To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of heaven: Greetings.
Ezra 7:11 This is the text of the letter
King Artaxerxes had given to Ezra the priest and scribe, an expert in the commandments and statutes of the LORD to Israel:
Ezra 7:8 Ezra arrived in Jerusalem in the fifth month of the seventh year of the
king.
Ezra 7:7 So in the seventh year of
King Artaxerxes, he went up to Jerusalem with some of the Israelites, including priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and temple servants.
Ezra 7:6 this Ezra came up from Babylon. He was a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given. The
king had granted Ezra all his requests, for the hand of the LORD his God was upon him.
Ezra 7:1 Many years later, during the reign of Artaxerxes
king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
Ezra 6:22 For seven days they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread with joy, because the LORD had made them joyful and turned the heart of the
king of Assyria toward them to strengthen their hands in the work on the house of the God of Israel.
Ezra 6:15 And this temple was completed on the third day of the month of Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of
King Darius.
Ezra 6:14 So the Jewish elders built and prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. They finished building according to the command of the God of Israel and the decrees of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes,
kings of Persia.
Ezra 6:13 In response, Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates diligently carried out what
King Darius had decreed.
Ezra 6:12 May God, who has caused His Name to dwell there, overthrow any
king or people who lifts a hand to alter this decree or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued the decree. Let it be carried out with diligence.
Ezra 6:10 Then they will be able to offer sacrifices of a sweet aroma to the God of heaven and to pray for the lives of the
king and his sons.
Ezra 6:3 In the first year of
King Cyrus, he issued a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: Let the house be rebuilt as a place for offering sacrifices, and let its foundations be firmly laid. It is to be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide,
Ezra 6:1 Thus
King Darius ordered a search of the archives stored in the treasury of Babylon.
Ezra 5:17 Now, therefore, if it pleases the
king, let a search be made of the royal archives in Babylon to see if
King Cyrus did indeed issue a decree to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the
king send us his decision in this matter.
Ezra 5:14 He also removed from the temple of Babylon the gold and silver articles belonging to the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken and carried there from the temple in Jerusalem.
King Cyrus gave these articles to a man named Sheshbazzar, whom he appointed governor
Ezra 5:13 In his first year, however, Cyrus
king of Babylon issued a decree to rebuild this house of God.
Ezra 5:12 But since our fathers angered the God of heaven, He delivered them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, the Chaldean who destroyed this temple and carried away the people to Babylon.
Ezra 5:11 And this is the answer they returned: “We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great
king of Israel built and completed."
Ezra 5:8 Let it be known to the
king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. The people are rebuilding it with large stones, and placing timbers in the walls. This work is being carried out diligently and is prospering in their hands.
Ezra 5:7 The report they sent him read as follows: To
King Darius: All peace.
Ezra 5:6 This is the text of the letter that Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates, Shethar-bozenai, and their associates, the officials in the region, sent to
King Darius.
Ezra 4:24 Thus the construction of the house of God in Jerusalem ceased, and it remained at a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius
king of Persia.
Ezra 4:23 When the text of the letter from
King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their associates, they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and forcibly stopped them.
Ezra 4:20 And mighty
kings have ruled over Jerusalem and exercised authority over the whole region west of the Euphrates; and tribute, duty, and toll were paid to them.
Ezra 4:19 I issued a decree, and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has revolted against
kings from ancient times, engaging in rebellion and sedition.
Ezra 4:17 Then the
king sent this reply: To Rehum the commander, Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of your associates living in Samaria and elsewhere in the region west of the Euphrates: Greetings.
Ezra 4:16 We advise the
king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, you will have no dominion west of the Euphrates.
Ezra 4:15 that a search should be made of the record books of your fathers. In these books you will discover and verify that the city is a rebellious city, harmful to
kings and provinces, inciting sedition from ancient times. That is why this city was destroyed.
Ezra 4:14 Now because we are in the service of the palace and it is not fitting for us to allow the
king to be dishonored, we have sent to inform the
king Ezra 4:13 Let it now be known to the
king that if that city is rebuilt and its walls are restored, they will not pay tribute, duty, or toll, and the royal treasury will suffer.
Ezra 4:12 Let it be known to the
king that the Jews who came from you to us have returned to Jerusalem. And they are rebuilding that rebellious and wicked city, restoring its walls, and repairing its foundations.
Ezra 4:11 (This is the text of the letter they sent to him.) To
King Artaxerxes, From your servants, the men west of the Euphrates:
Ezra 4:8 Rehum the commander and Shimshai the scribe wrote the letter against Jerusalem to
King Artaxerxes as follows:
Ezra 4:7 And in the days of Artaxerxes
king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his associates wrote a letter to Artaxerxes. It was written in Aramaic and then translated.
Ezra 4:5 They hired counselors against them to frustrate their plans throughout the reign of Cyrus
king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius
king of Persia.
Ezra 4:3 But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the other heads of the families of Israel replied, “You have no part with us in building a house for our God, since we alone must build it for the LORD, the God of Israel, as Cyrus
king of Persia has commanded us.”"
Ezra 4:2 they approached Zerubbabel and the heads of the families, saying, “Let us build with you because, like you, we seek your God and have been sacrificing to Him since the time of
King Esar-haddon of Assyria, who brought us here.”"
Ezra 3:13 The people could not distinguish the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people were ma
king so much noise. And the sound was heard from afar.
Ezra 3:10 When the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites (the sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their positions to praise the LORD, as David
king of Israel had prescribed.
Ezra 3:9 So Jeshua and his sons and brothers, Kadmiel and his sons (descendants of Yehudah), and the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers—all Levites—joined together to supervise those wor
king on the house of God."
Ezra 3:7 They gave money to the masons and carpenters, and food and drink and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre to bring cedar logs from Lebanon to Joppa by sea, as authorized by Cyrus
king of Persia.
Ezra 2:1 Now these are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its
king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
Ezra 1:8 Cyrus
king of Persia had them brought out by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah.
Ezra 1:7 King Cyrus also brought out the articles belonging to the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and placed in the temple of his gods.
Ezra 1:2 “This is what Cyrus
king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the
kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah."
Ezra 1:1 In the first year of Cyrus
king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus
king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his
kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
2 Chronicles 36:23 “This is what Cyrus
king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the
kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”"
2 Chronicles 36:22 In the first year of Cyrus
king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus
king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his
kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
2 Chronicles 36:20 Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the
kingdom of Persia came to power.
2 Chronicles 36:18 who carried off everything to Babylon—all the articles of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the
king and his officials."
2 Chronicles 36:17 So He brought up against them the
king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,
2 Chronicles 36:13 He also rebelled against
King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
2 Chronicles 36:11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
2 Chronicles 36:10 In the spring,
King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah
king over Judah and Jerusalem."
2 Chronicles 36:9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 36:8 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations he committed, and all that was found against him, they are indeed written in the Book of the
Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
2 Chronicles 36:6 Then Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
2 Chronicles 36:5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
2 Chronicles 36:4 Then Neco
king of Egypt made Eliakim brother of Jehoahaz
king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt."
2 Chronicles 36:3 And the
king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
2 Chronicles 36:2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
2 Chronicles 36:1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him
king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Chronicles 35:27 his acts from beginning to end—they are indeed written in the Book of the
Kings of Israel and Judah."
2 Chronicles 35:23 There the archers shot
King Josiah, who said to his servants, “Take me away, for I am badly wounded!”"
2 Chronicles 35:21 But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, O
king of Judah? I have not come against you today, but I am fighting another dynasty. God told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or He will destroy you!”"
2 Chronicles 35:20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Neco
king of Egypt marched up to fight at Carchemish by the Euphrates, and Josiah went out to confront him.
2 Chronicles 35:18 No such Passover had been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the
kings of Israel ever observed a Passover like the one that Josiah observed with the priests, the Levites, all Judah, the Israelites who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 35:16 So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of
King Josiah.
2 Chronicles 35:15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the
king’s seer. And the gatekeepers at each gate did not need to leave their position, because their fellow Levites made preparations for them."
2 Chronicles 35:10 So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the
king’s command."
2 Chronicles 35:4 Prepare yourselves by families in your divisions, according to the instructions written by David
king of Israel and Solomon his son.
2 Chronicles 35:3 To the Levites who taught all Israel and were holy to the LORD, Josiah said: “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David
king of Israel. It is not to be carried around on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel."
2 Chronicles 34:31 So the
king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book.
2 Chronicles 34:28 ‘Now I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place and on its inhabitants.’” So they brought her answer back to the
king."
2 Chronicles 34:26 But as for the
king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,"
2 Chronicles 34:24 that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the curses written in the book that has been read in the presence of the
king of Judah,
2 Chronicles 34:22 So Hilkiah and those the
king had designated went and spoke to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
2 Chronicles 34:20 and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the
king:
2 Chronicles 34:18 Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the
king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the
king."
2 Chronicles 34:16 Then Shaphan brought the book to the
king and reported, “Your servants are doing all that has been placed in their hands."
2 Chronicles 34:11 They also gave money to the carpenters and builders to buy dressed stone, as well as timbers for couplings and beams for the buildings that the
kings of Judah had allowed to deteriorate.
2 Chronicles 34:1 Josiah was eight years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years.
2 Chronicles 33:25 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against
King Amon, and they made his son Josiah
king in his place.
2 Chronicles 33:21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.
2 Chronicles 33:18 As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with his prayer to his God and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel.
2 Chronicles 33:13 And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his
kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
2 Chronicles 33:11 So the LORD brought against them the military commanders of the
king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
2 Chronicles 33:6 He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provo
king Him to anger.
2 Chronicles 33:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years.
2 Chronicles 32:32 As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of loving devotion, they are indeed written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the Book of the
Kings of Judah and Israel.
2 Chronicles 32:23 Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD and valuable gifts for Hezekiah
king of Judah, and from then on he was exalted in the eyes of all nations.
2 Chronicles 32:22 So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hands of
King Sennacherib of Assyria and all the others, and He gave them rest on every side.
2 Chronicles 32:21 and the LORD sent an angel who annihilated every mighty man of valor and every leader and commander in the camp of the
king of Assyria. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons struck him down with the sword.
2 Chronicles 32:20 In response,
King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer,
2 Chronicles 32:17 He also wrote letters moc
king the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”"
2 Chronicles 32:15 So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you, and do not let him mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or
kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand!”"
2 Chronicles 32:11 Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give you over to death by famine and thirst when he says, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the
king of Assyria?’"
2 Chronicles 32:10 “This is what Sennacherib
king of Assyria says: What is the basis of your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege?"
2 Chronicles 32:9 Later, as Sennacherib
king of Assyria and all his forces besieged Lachish, he sent his servants to Jerusalem with a message for
King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem:
2 Chronicles 32:8 With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” So the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah
king of Judah."
2 Chronicles 32:7 “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged before the
king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater One with us than with him."
2 Chronicles 32:4 Many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the
kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said."
2 Chronicles 32:1 After all these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib
king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, intending to conquer them for himself.
2 Chronicles 31:13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the authority of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by appointment of
King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief official of the house of God.
2 Chronicles 31:3 The
king contributed from his own possessions for the regular morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 30:26 So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David
king of Israel.
2 Chronicles 30:24 For Hezekiah
king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials contributed a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly, and a great number of priests consecrated themselves.
2 Chronicles 30:19 who sets his heart on see
king God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not cleansed according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.”"
2 Chronicles 30:12 Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the
king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 30:6 So the couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the
king and his officials, which read: “Children of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that He may return to those of you who remain, who have escaped the grasp of the
kings of Assyria."
2 Chronicles 30:2 For the
king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to keep the Passover in the second month,
2 Chronicles 29:30 Then
King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.
2 Chronicles 29:29 When the offerings were completed, the
king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped.
2 Chronicles 29:27 And Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be sacrificed on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began as well, accompanied by the instruments of David
king of Israel.
2 Chronicles 29:25 Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, of Gad the
king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet. For the command had come from the LORD through His prophets."
2 Chronicles 29:24 And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the
king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
2 Chronicles 29:23 Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the
king and the assembly, who laid their hands on them.
2 Chronicles 29:21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the
kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the
king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 29:20 Early the next morning
King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 29:19 Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the articles that
King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign. They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”"
2 Chronicles 29:18 Then they went in to
King Hezekiah and reported, “We have cleansed the entire house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils."
2 Chronicles 29:15 When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves, they went in to cleanse the house of the LORD, according to the command of the
king by the words of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 29:1 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah."
2 Chronicles 28:27 And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of Jerusalem, but he was not placed in the tombs of the
kings of Israel. And his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
2 Chronicles 28:26 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all his ways, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Book of the
Kings of Judah and Israel.
2 Chronicles 28:23 Since Damascus had defeated him, he sacrificed to their gods and said, “Because the gods of the
kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.” But these gods were the downfall of Ahaz and of all Israel."
2 Chronicles 28:22 In the time of his distress,
King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
2 Chronicles 28:21 Although Ahaz had taken a portion from the house of the LORD, from the royal palace, and from the princes and had presented it to the
king of Assyria, it did not help him.
2 Chronicles 28:20 Then Tiglath-pileser
king of Assyria came to Ahaz but afflicted him rather than strengthening him.
2 Chronicles 28:19 For the LORD humbled Judah because Ahaz
king of Israel had thrown off restraint in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the LORD.
2 Chronicles 28:7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the
king, Azrikam the governor of the palace, and Elkanah the second to the
king.
2 Chronicles 28:5 So the LORD his God delivered Ahaz into the hand of the
king of Aram, who attacked him and took many captives to Damascus. Ahaz was also delivered into the hand of the
king of Israel, who struck him with great force.
2 Chronicles 28:2 Instead, he walked in the ways of the
kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
2 Chronicles 28:1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 27:8 He was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years.
2 Chronicles 27:7 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with all his wars and his ways, they are indeed written in the Book of the
Kings of Israel and Judah.
2 Chronicles 27:5 Jotham waged war against the
king of the Ammonites and defeated them, and that year they gave him a hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. They paid him the same in the second and third years.
2 Chronicles 27:1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerushah daughter of Zadok."
2 Chronicles 26:23 And Uzziah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in a field of burial that belonged to the
kings; for the people said, “He was a leper.” And his son Jotham reigned in his place."
2 Chronicles 26:21 So
King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jotham had charge of the royal palace to govern the people of the land.
2 Chronicles 26:18 They took their stand against
King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”"
2 Chronicles 26:13 Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the
king against his enemies.
2 Chronicles 26:3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem."
2 Chronicles 26:2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after
King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
2 Chronicles 26:1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him
king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Chronicles 25:26 As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the
Kings of Judah and Israel?
2 Chronicles 25:25 Amaziah son of Joash
king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz
king of Israel.
2 Chronicles 25:23 There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash
king of Israel captured Amaziah
king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits."
2 Chronicles 25:21 So Jehoash
king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah
king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
2 Chronicles 25:18 But Jehoash
king of Israel replied to Amaziah
king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle."
2 Chronicles 25:17 Then Amaziah
king of Judah took counsel and sent word to the
king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said."
2 Chronicles 25:16 While he was still spea
king, the
king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the
king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”"
2 Chronicles 25:7 But a man of God came to him and said, “O
king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites."
2 Chronicles 25:3 As soon as the
kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the
king.
2 Chronicles 25:1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem."
2 Chronicles 24:27 The accounts of the sons of Joash, as well as the many pronouncements about him and about the restoration of the house of God, are indeed written in the Treatise of the Book of the
Kings. And his son Amaziah reigned in his place.
2 Chronicles 24:25 And when the Arameans had withdrawn, they left Joash severely wounded. His own servants conspired against him for shedding the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and they killed him on his bed. So he died and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the
kings.
2 Chronicles 24:23 In the spring, the army of Aram went to war against Joash. They entered Judah and Jerusalem and destroyed all the leaders of the people, and they sent all the plunder to their
king in Damascus.
2 Chronicles 24:22 Thus
King Joash failed to remember the kindness that Zechariah’s father Jehoiada had extended to him. Instead, Joash killed Jehoiada’s son. As he lay dying, Zechariah said, “May the LORD see this and call you to account.”"
2 Chronicles 24:21 But they conspired against Zechariah, and by order of the
king, they stoned him in the courtyard of the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 24:17 After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the
king, and he listened to them.
2 Chronicles 24:16 And Jehoiada was buried with the
kings in the City of David, because he had done what was good in Israel for God and His temple.
2 Chronicles 24:14 When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the
king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD."
2 Chronicles 24:12 Then the
king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 24:11 Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the
king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance."
2 Chronicles 24:8 At the
king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD."
2 Chronicles 24:6 So the
king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”"
2 Chronicles 24:1 Joash was seven years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba."
2 Chronicles 23:20 He also took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought the
king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace through the Upper Gate. They seated
King Joash on the royal throne,
2 Chronicles 23:16 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and the
king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people."
2 Chronicles 23:13 And she looked out and saw the
king standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officers and trumpeters were beside the
king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, while the singers with musical instruments were leading the praises. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason, treason!”"
2 Chronicles 23:12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and cheering the
king, she went out to them in the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 23:11 Then Jehoiada and his sons brought out the
king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him
king. They anointed him and shouted, “Long live the
king!”"
2 Chronicles 23:10 He stationed all the troops, with their weapons in hand, surrounding the
king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
2 Chronicles 23:9 Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and the large and small shields of
King David that were in the house of God.
2 Chronicles 23:7 The Levites must surround the
king with weapons in hand, and anyone who enters the temple must be put to death. You must stay close to the
king wherever he goes.”"
2 Chronicles 23:3 the whole assembly made a covenant with the
king in the house of God. “Behold, the
king’s son!” said Jehoiada. “He must reign, just as the LORD promised concerning the descendants of David."
2 Chronicles 22:11 But Jehoshabeath daughter of
King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the
king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of
King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him."
2 Chronicles 22:9 Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the
kingdom."
2 Chronicles 22:6 so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael
king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram
king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
2 Chronicles 22:5 Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab
king of Israel to fight against Hazael
king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
2 Chronicles 22:2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri."
2 Chronicles 22:1 Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram,
king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became
king of Judah.
2 Chronicles 21:20 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He died, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the
kings."
2 Chronicles 21:17 So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the
king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest."
2 Chronicles 21:13 but you have walked in the ways of the
kings of Israel and have caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab prostituted itself. You have also killed your brothers, your father’s family, who were better than you."
2 Chronicles 21:12 Then a letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, which stated: “This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa
king of Judah,"
2 Chronicles 21:8 In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own
king.
2 Chronicles 21:6 And Jehoram walked in the ways of the
kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Chronicles 21:5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
2 Chronicles 21:4 When Jehoram had established himself over his father’s
kingdom, he strengthened himself by putting to the sword all his brothers along with some of the princes of Israel."
2 Chronicles 21:3 Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as well as the fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the
kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
2 Chronicles 21:2 Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat
king of Israel."
2 Chronicles 20:35 Later, Jehoshaphat
king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah
king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
2 Chronicles 20:34 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the
Kings of Israel.
2 Chronicles 20:31 So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi."
2 Chronicles 20:30 Then Jehoshaphat’s
kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side."
2 Chronicles 20:29 And the fear of God came upon all the
kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
2 Chronicles 20:24 When the men of Judah came to a place overloo
king the wilderness, they looked for the vast army, but there were only corpses lying on the ground; no one had escaped.
2 Chronicles 20:15 And he said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen,
King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God."
2 Chronicles 20:6 and said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the
kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You."
2 Chronicles 19:11 Note that Amariah, the chief priest, will be over you in all that pertains to the LORD, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all that pertains to the
king. And the Levites will serve as officers before you. Act resolutely; may the LORD be with the upright!”"
2 Chronicles 19:3 However, some good is found in you, for you have removed the Asherah poles from the land and have set your heart on see
king God.”"
2 Chronicles 19:2 Jehu son of Hanani the seer went out to confront him and said to
King Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD? Because of this, the wrath of the LORD is upon you."
2 Chronicles 19:1 When Jehoshaphat
king of Judah had returned safely to his home in Jerusalem,
2 Chronicles 18:34 The battle raged throughout that day, and the
king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Arameans until evening. And at sunset he died.
2 Chronicles 18:33 However, a certain man drew his bow without ta
king special aim, and he struck the
king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the
king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”"
2 Chronicles 18:32 And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the
king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
2 Chronicles 18:31 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “This is the
king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him. God drew them away from him."
2 Chronicles 18:30 Now the
king of Aram had ordered his chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the
king of Israel.”"
2 Chronicles 18:29 And the
king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the
king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle."
2 Chronicles 18:28 So the
king of Israel and Jehoshaphat
king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Chronicles 18:26 and tell them that this is what the
king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”"
2 Chronicles 18:25 And the
king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the
king’s son,"
2 Chronicles 18:19 And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab
king of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that."
2 Chronicles 18:17 Then the
king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”"
2 Chronicles 18:15 But the
king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”"
2 Chronicles 18:14 When Micaiah arrived, the
king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for they will be given into your hand.”"
2 Chronicles 18:12 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the
king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”"
2 Chronicles 18:11 And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the
king.”"
2 Chronicles 18:9 Dressed in royal attire, the
king of Israel and Jehoshaphat
king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
2 Chronicles 18:8 So the
king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”"
2 Chronicles 18:7 The
king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The
king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied."
2 Chronicles 18:5 So the
king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and asked them, “Should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and God will deliver it into the hand of the
king.”"
2 Chronicles 18:4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the
king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”"
2 Chronicles 18:3 Ahab
king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat
king of Judah, “Will you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat replied, “I am like you, and my people are your people; we will join you in the war.”"
2 Chronicles 17:19 These were the men who served the
king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities throughout Judah.
2 Chronicles 17:10 And the dread of the LORD fell upon all the
kingdoms of the lands that surrounded Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
2 Chronicles 17:9 They taught throughout Judah, ta
king with them the Book of the Law of the LORD. They went throughout the towns of Judah and taught the people.
2 Chronicles 17:5 So the LORD established the
kingdom in his hand, and all Judah brought him tribute, so that he had an abundance of riches and honor.
2 Chronicles 16:11 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the
Kings of Judah and Israel.
2 Chronicles 16:7 At that time Hanani the seer came to
King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the
king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the
king of Aram has escaped from your hand."
2 Chronicles 16:6 Then
King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
2 Chronicles 16:4 And Ben-hadad listened to
King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
2 Chronicles 16:3 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha
king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”"
2 Chronicles 16:2 So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad
king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
2 Chronicles 16:1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha
king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa
king of Judah."
2 Chronicles 15:16 King Asa also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
2 Chronicles 14:5 He also removed the high places and incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and under him the
kingdom was at peace.
2 Chronicles 13:8 And now you think you can resist the
kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods."
2 Chronicles 13:5 Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the
kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt?
2 Chronicles 13:1 In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah became
king of Judah,"
2 Chronicles 12:13 Thus
King Rehoboam established himself in Jerusalem. He was forty-one years old when he became
king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite."
2 Chronicles 12:11 And whenever the
king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would go with him, bearing the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
2 Chronicles 12:10 Then
King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
2 Chronicles 12:9 So
King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including the gold shields that Solomon had made.
2 Chronicles 12:8 Nevertheless, they will become his servants, so that they may learn the difference between serving Me and serving the
kings of other lands.”"
2 Chronicles 12:6 So the leaders of Israel and the
king humbled themselves and said, “The LORD is righteous.”"
2 Chronicles 12:2 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, Shishak
king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem"
2 Chronicles 11:22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him
king.
2 Chronicles 11:17 So they strengthened the
kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon for three years, because they walked for three years in the way of David and Solomon.
2 Chronicles 11:3 “Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon
king of Judah and all the Israelites in Judah and Benjamin"
2 Chronicles 11:1 When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the house of Judah and Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against Israel and restore the
kingdom to Rehoboam."
2 Chronicles 10:18 Then
King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. And
King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 10:16 When all Israel saw that the
king had refused to listen to them, they answered the
king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home,"
2 Chronicles 10:15 So the
king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from God, in order that the LORD might fulfill the word that He had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
2 Chronicles 10:13 And the
king answered them harshly.
King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
2 Chronicles 10:12 After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the
king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”"
2 Chronicles 10:7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them by spea
king kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”"
2 Chronicles 10:6 Then
King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked."
2 Chronicles 10:2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from
King Solomon.
2 Chronicles 10:1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him
king.
2 Chronicles 9:27 The
king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
2 Chronicles 9:26 He reigned over all the
kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
2 Chronicles 9:23 All the
kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
2 Chronicles 9:22 So
King Solomon surpassed all the
kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
2 Chronicles 9:21 For the
king had the ships of Tarshish that went with Hiram’s servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks."
2 Chronicles 9:20 All
King Solomon’s drin
king cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon."
2 Chronicles 9:19 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any
kingdom.
2 Chronicles 9:17 Additionally, the
king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
2 Chronicles 9:16 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. And the
king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
2 Chronicles 9:15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield.
2 Chronicles 9:14 not including the revenue from the merchants and traders. And all the Arabian
kings and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
2 Chronicles 9:12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—far more than she had brought the
king. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants."
2 Chronicles 9:11 The
king made the algum wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the
king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had anything like them been seen in the land of Judah.)"
2 Chronicles 9:9 Then she gave the
king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to
King Solomon.
2 Chronicles 9:8 Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on His throne to be
king for the LORD your God. Because your God loved Israel enough to establish them forever, He has made you
king over them to carry out justice and righteousness.”"
2 Chronicles 9:5 She said to the
king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true."
2 Chronicles 8:18 So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to
King Solomon."
2 Chronicles 8:15 They did not turn aside from the
king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries."
2 Chronicles 8:11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David
king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”"
2 Chronicles 8:10 They were also the chief officers for
King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
2 Chronicles 7:6 The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which
King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing."
2 Chronicles 7:5 And
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the
king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
2 Chronicles 7:4 Then the
king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
2 Chronicles 6:3 And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the
king turned around and blessed them all
2 Chronicles 5:6 There, before the ark,
King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
2 Chronicles 5:3 So all the men of Israel came together to the
king at the feast in the seventh month.
2 Chronicles 4:17 The
king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.
2 Chronicles 4:16 and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for
King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.
2 Chronicles 4:11 Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken for
King Solomon in the house of God:
2 Chronicles 2:12 And Hiram added: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given
King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself."
2 Chronicles 2:11 Then Hiram
king of Tyre wrote a letter in reply to Solomon: “Because the LORD loves His people, He has set you over them as
king.”"
2 Chronicles 2:4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for ma
king burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.
2 Chronicles 2:3 Then Solomon sent word to Hiram
king of Tyre: “Do for me as you did for my father David when you sent him cedars to build himself a house to live in."
2 Chronicles 1:17 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the
kings of the Hittites and to the
kings of Aram.
2 Chronicles 1:15 The
king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
2 Chronicles 1:12 therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the
kings before you or after you.”"
2 Chronicles 1:11 God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you
king—"
2 Chronicles 1:9 Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me
king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
2 Chronicles 1:8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me
king in his place."
2 Chronicles 1:1 Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his
kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
1 Chronicles 29:30 together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the
kingdoms of the lands.
1 Chronicles 29:29 Now the acts of
King David, from first to last, are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer,
1 Chronicles 29:25 The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any
king in Israel before him.
1 Chronicles 29:24 All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of
King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to
King Solomon."
1 Chronicles 29:23 So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as
king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
1 Chronicles 29:22 That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as
king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest."

king over all Israel."

king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it."

king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah."

2 Kings 24:5 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?

king of Babylon invaded. So Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years, until he turned and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar."
2 Kings 23:36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah."

king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah."
2 Kings 23:30 From Megiddo his servants carried his body in a chariot, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him
king in place of his father.

king of Egypt marched up to help the
king of Assyria at the Euphrates River.

2 Kings 23:28 As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 23:25 Neither before nor after Josiah was there any
king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses.
2 Kings 23:22 No such Passover had been observed from the days of the judges who had governed Israel through all the days of the
kings of Israel and Judah.
2 Kings 23:21 The
king commanded all the people, “Keep the Passover of the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”"
2 Kings 23:19 Just as Josiah had done at Bethel, so also in the cities of Samaria he removed all the shrines of the high places set up by the
kings of Israel who had provoked the LORD to anger.
2 Kings 23:17 Then the
king asked, “What is this monument I see?” And the men of the city replied, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced these things that you have done to the altar of Bethel.”"
2 Kings 23:13 The
king also desecrated the high places east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, which
King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
2 Kings 23:12 He pulled down the altars that the
kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars that Manasseh had set up in the two courtyards of the house of the LORD. The
king pulverized them there and threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.
2 Kings 23:11 And he removed from the entrance to the house of the LORD the horses that the
kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the chamber of an official named Nathan-melech. And Josiah burned up the chariots of the sun.
2 Kings 23:5 Josiah also did away with the idolatrous priests ordained by the
kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem—those who had burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven."
2 Kings 23:4 Then the
king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests second in rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.
2 Kings 23:3 So the
king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.
2 Kings 23:1 Then the
king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Kings 22:20 ‘Therefore I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place.’” So they brought her answer back to the
king."
2 Kings 22:18 But as for the
king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘As for the words that you heard,"
2 Kings 22:16 that this is what the LORD says: I am about to bring calamity on this place and on its people, according to all the words of the book that the
king of Judah has read,
2 Kings 22:12 and commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Achbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the
king:
2 Kings 22:11 When the
king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes
2 Kings 22:10 Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the
king, “Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.” And Shaphan read it in the presence of the
king."
2 Kings 22:9 And Shaphan the scribe went to the
king and reported, “Your servants have paid out the money that was found in the temple and have put it into the hands of the workers and supervisors of the house of the LORD.”"
2 Kings 22:3 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign,
King Josiah sent the scribe, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the house of the LORD, saying,
2 Kings 22:1 Josiah was eight years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother’s name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath."
2 Kings 21:25 As for the rest of the acts of Amon, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 21:24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against
King Amon, and they made his son Josiah
king in his place.
2 Kings 21:23 Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the
king in his palace.
2 Kings 21:19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz; she was from Jotbah."
2 Kings 21:17 As for the rest of the acts of Manasseh, along with all his accomplishments and the sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 21:11 “Since Manasseh
king of Judah has committed all these abominations, acting more wickedly than the Amorites who preceded him, and with his idols has caused Judah to sin,"
2 Kings 21:6 He sacrificed his own son in the fire, practiced sorcery and divination, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provo
king Him to anger.
2 Kings 21:3 For he rebuilt the high places that his father Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as
King Ahab of Israel had done, and he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
2 Kings 21:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. His mother’s name was Hephzibah."
2 Kings 20:20 As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, along with all his might and how he constructed the pool and the tunnel to bring water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 20:18 And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the
king of Babylon.”"
2 Kings 20:14 Then the prophet Isaiah went to
King Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” “They came from a distant land,” Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”"
2 Kings 20:12 At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan
king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness."
2 Kings 20:6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the
king of Assyria. I will defend this city for My sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”"
2 Kings 19:36 So Sennacherib
king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
2 Kings 19:32 So this is what the LORD says about the
king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it."
2 Kings 19:20 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib
king of Assyria."
2 Kings 19:19 And now, O LORD our God, please save us from his hand, so that all the
kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”"
2 Kings 19:17 Truly, O LORD, the
kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands.
2 Kings 19:15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the
kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth."
2 Kings 19:13 Where are the
kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”"
2 Kings 19:11 Surely you have heard what the
kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared?
2 Kings 19:10 “Give this message to Hezekiah
king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the
king of Assyria."
2 Kings 19:9 Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah
king of Cush: “Look, he has set out to fight against you.” So Sennacherib again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,"
2 Kings 19:8 When the Rabshakeh heard that the
king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the
king fighting against Libnah.
2 Kings 19:6 who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the
king of Assyria have blasphemed Me."
2 Kings 19:5 So the servants of
King Hezekiah went to Isaiah,
2 Kings 19:4 Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the
king of Assyria has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that still survives.”"
2 Kings 19:1 On hearing this report,
King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 18:33 Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the
king of Assyria?
2 Kings 18:31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the
king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,
2 Kings 18:30 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the
king of Assyria.’"
2 Kings 18:29 This is what the
king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; he cannot deliver you from my hand.
2 Kings 18:28 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the word of the great
king, the
king of Assyria!"
2 Kings 18:23 Now, therefore, make a bargain with my master, the
king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses—if you can put riders on them!"
2 Kings 18:21 Look now, you are trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh
king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
2 Kings 18:19 The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great
king, the
king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?"
2 Kings 18:18 Then they called for the
king; and Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to them.
2 Kings 18:17 Nevertheless, the
king of Assyria sent the Tartan, the Rabsaris, and the Rabshakeh, along with a great army, from Lachish to
King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. They advanced up to Jerusalem and stationed themselves by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field."
2 Kings 18:16 At that time Hezekiah stripped the gold with which he had plated the doors and doorposts of the temple of the LORD, and he gave it to the
king of Assyria.
2 Kings 18:14 So Hezekiah
king of Judah sent word to the
king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand from me.” And the
king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah
king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold."
2 Kings 18:13 In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib
king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah."
2 Kings 18:11 The
king of Assyria exiled the Israelites to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
2 Kings 18:10 And at the end of three years, the Assyrians captured it. So Samaria was captured in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea
king of Israel.
2 Kings 18:9 In the fourth year of Hezekiah’s reign, which was the seventh year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Shalmaneser
king of Assyria marched against Samaria and besieged it."
2 Kings 18:7 And the LORD was with Hezekiah, and he prospered wherever he went. He rebelled against the
king of Assyria and refused to serve him.
2 Kings 18:5 Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. No
king of Judah was like him, either before him or after him.
2 Kings 18:2 He was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah."
2 Kings 18:1 In the third year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz became
king of Judah.
2 Kings 17:27 Then the
king of Assyria commanded: “Send back one of the priests you carried off from Samaria, and have him go back to live there and teach the requirements of the God of the land.”"
2 Kings 17:26 So they spoke to the
king of Assyria, saying, “The peoples that you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the God of the land. Because of this, He has sent lions among them, which are indeed killing them off.”"
2 Kings 17:24 Then the
king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim and settled them in the towns of Samaria to replace the Israelites. They took possession of Samaria and lived in its towns.
2 Kings 17:21 When the LORD had torn Israel away from the house of David, they made Jeroboam son of Nebat
king, and Jeroboam led Israel away from following the LORD and caused them to commit a great sin.
2 Kings 17:17 They sacrificed their sons and daughters in the fire and practiced divination and soothsaying. They devoted themselves to doing evil in the sight of the LORD, provo
king Him to anger.
2 Kings 17:11 They burned incense on all the high places like the nations that the LORD had driven out before them. They did wicked things, provo
king the LORD to anger.
2 Kings 17:8 and walked in the customs of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites, as well as in the practices introduced by the
kings of Israel.
2 Kings 17:7 All this happened because the people of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh
king of Egypt. They had worshiped other gods
2 Kings 17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea, the
king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried away the Israelites to Assyria, where he settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
2 Kings 17:5 Then the
king of Assyria invaded the whole land, marched up to Samaria, and besieged it for three years.
2 Kings 17:4 But the
king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea had conspired to send envoys to
King So of Egypt, and that he had not paid tribute to the
king of Assyria as in previous years. Therefore the
king of Assyria arrested Hoshea and put him in prison.
2 Kings 17:3 Shalmaneser
king of Assyria attacked him, and Hoshea became his vassal and paid him tribute.
2 Kings 17:2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not like the
kings of Israel who preceded him.
2 Kings 17:1 In the twelfth year of the reign of Ahaz over Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria nine years.
2 Kings 16:19 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 16:18 And on account of the
king of Assyria, he removed the Sabbath canopy they had built in the temple and closed the royal entryway outside the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 16:17 King Ahaz also cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
2 Kings 16:16 So Uriah the priest did just as
King Ahaz had commanded.
2 Kings 16:15 Then
King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the
king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”"
2 Kings 16:12 When the
king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it.
2 Kings 16:11 And Uriah the priest built the altar according to all the instructions
King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, and he completed it by the time
King Ahaz had returned.
2 Kings 16:10 Then
King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser
king of Assyria. On seeing the altar in Damascus,
King Ahaz sent Uriah the priest a model of the altar and complete plans for its construction.
2 Kings 16:9 So the
king of Assyria responded to him, marched up to Damascus, and captured it. He took its people to Kir as captives and put Rezin to death.
2 Kings 16:8 Ahaz also took the silver and gold found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the
king’s palace, and he sent it as a gift to the
king of Assyria."
2 Kings 16:7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser
king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hands of the
kings of Aram and Israel, who are rising up against me.”"
2 Kings 16:6 At that time Rezin
king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram, drove out the men of Judah, and sent the Edomites into Elath, where they live to this day.
2 Kings 16:5 Then Rezin
king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah
king of Israel came up to wage war against Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him.
2 Kings 16:3 Instead, he walked in the ways of the
kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
2 Kings 16:2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
2 Kings 16:1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham became
king of Judah.
2 Kings 15:37 (In those days the LORD began to send Rezin
king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah against Judah.)
2 Kings 15:36 As for the rest of the acts of Jotham, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?

king of Judah.

Kings of Israel.
2 Kings 15:29 In the days of Pekah
king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser
king of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, including all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people as captives to Assyria.
2 Kings 15:27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty years."
2 Kings 15:26 As for the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, along with all his accomplishments, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel.
2 Kings 15:25 Then his officer, Pekah son of Remaliah, conspired against him along with Argob, Arieh, and fifty men of Gilead. And at the citadel of the
king’s palace in Samaria, Pekah struck down and killed Pekahiah and reigned in his place."
2 Kings 15:23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem became
king of Israel and reigned in Samaria two years."
2 Kings 15:21 As for the rest of the acts of Menahem, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 15:20 Menahem exacted this money from each of the wealthy men of Israel—fifty shekels of silver from each man—to give to the
king of Assyria. So the
king of Assyria withdrew and did not remain in the land."
2 Kings 15:19 Then Pul
king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver in order to gain his support and strengthen his own grip on the
kingdom.
2 Kings 15:17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah’s reign over Judah, Menahem son of Gadi became

2 Kings 14:28 As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 14:23 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.
2 Kings 14:22 Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after
King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
2 Kings 14:21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him
king in place of his father Amaziah.
2 Kings 14:18 As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?

2 Kings 14:15 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah

Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 14:13 There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash
king of Israel captured Amaziah
king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits."
2 Kings 14:11 But Amaziah would not listen, and Jehoash
king of Israel advanced. He and
King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
2 Kings 14:9 But Jehoash
king of Israel replied to Amaziah
king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle."
2 Kings 14:8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to the
king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said."
2 Kings 14:5 As soon as the
kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the
king.
2 Kings 14:2 He was twenty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem."

king of Judah.
2 Kings 13:24 When Hazael
king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.
2 Kings 13:22 And Hazael
king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz.
2 Kings 13:18 Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the
king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped."
2 Kings 13:16 Then Elisha said to the
king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the
king put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the
king’s hands."
2 Kings 13:14 When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash
king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”"
2 Kings 13:13 And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the

2 Kings 13:8 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, along with all his accomplishments and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 13:7 Jehoahaz had no army left, except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the
king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing.
2 Kings 13:4 Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him because He saw the oppression that the
king of Aram had inflicted on Israel.
2 Kings 13:3 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael
king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.
2 Kings 13:1 In the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash son of Ahaziah over Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.
2 Kings 12:19 As for the rest of the acts of Joash, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 12:18 So
King Joash of Judah took all the sacred objects dedicated by his fathers—Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, the
kings of Judah—along with his own consecrated items and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to Hazael
king of Aram. So Hazael withdrew from Jerusalem."
2 Kings 12:17 At that time Hazael
king of Aram marched up and fought against Gath and captured it. Then he decided to attack Jerusalem.
2 Kings 12:13 However, the money brought into the house of the LORD was not used for ma
king silver basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets, or any articles of gold or silver for the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 12:7 So
King Joash called Jehoiada and the other priests and said, “Why have you not repaired the damage to the temple? Now, therefore, take no more money from your constituency, but hand it over for the repair of the temple.”"
2 Kings 12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Joash became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem forty years. His mother’s name was Zibiah; she was from Beersheba."
2 Kings 11:19 He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards, and all the people of the land, and they brought the
king down from the house of the LORD and entered the royal palace by way of the Gate of the Guards. Then Joash took his seat on the royal throne,
2 Kings 11:17 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the
king and the people that they would be the LORD’s people. He also made a covenant between the
king and the people."
2 Kings 11:14 And she looked out and saw the
king standing by the pillar, according to the custom. The officers and trumpeters were beside the
king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and screamed, “Treason! Treason!”"
2 Kings 11:12 Then Jehoiada brought out the
king’s son, put the crown on him, presented him with the Testimony, and proclaimed him
king. They anointed him, and the people clapped their hands and declared, “Long live the
king!”"
2 Kings 11:11 And the guards stood with weapons in hand surrounding the
king by the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple.
2 Kings 11:10 Then the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds the spears and shields of
King David from the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 11:8 You must surround the
king with weapons in hand, and anyone who approaches the ranks must be put to death. You must stay close to the
king wherever he goes.”"
2 Kings 11:7 the two divisions that would go off duty on the Sabbath are to guard the house of the LORD for the
king.
2 Kings 11:4 Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, and the guards, and had them brought into the house of the LORD. There he made a covenant with them and put them under oath. He showed them the
king’s son"
2 Kings 11:2 But Jehosheba daughter of
King Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the
king who were being murdered. She put him and his nurse in a bedroom to hide him from Athaliah, and he was not killed.
2 Kings 10:34 As for the rest of the acts of Jehu, along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 10:25 When he had finished ma
king the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal."
2 Kings 10:13 Jehu met some relatives of Ahaziah
king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come down to greet the sons of the
king and of the queen mother.”"
2 Kings 10:8 When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the
king.” And Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”"
2 Kings 10:7 And when the letter arrived, they took the sons of the
king and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
2 Kings 10:6 Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the
king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city."
2 Kings 10:5 So the palace administrator, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not make anyone
king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”"
2 Kings 10:4 But they were terrified and reasoned, “If two
kings could not stand against him, how can we?”"
2 Kings 9:34 Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a
king.”"
2 Kings 9:29 (In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become
king over Judah.)
2 Kings 9:27 When
King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo and died there."
2 Kings 9:21 “Harness!” Joram shouted, and they harnessed his chariot. Then Joram
king of Israel and Ahaziah
king of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite."
2 Kings 9:19 So the
king sent out a second horseman, who went to them and said, “This is what the
king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”"
2 Kings 9:18 So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the
king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.” And the watchman reported, “The messenger reached them, but he is not coming back.”"
2 Kings 9:16 Then Jehu got into his chariot and went to Jezreel, because Joram was laid up there and Ahaziah
king of Judah had gone down to see him.
2 Kings 9:15 but
King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against Hazael their
king.) So Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me
king, then do not let anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.”"
2 Kings 9:14 Thus Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael
king of Aram,
2 Kings 9:13 Quickly, each man took his garment and put it under Jehu on the bare steps. Then they blew the ram’s horn and proclaimed, “Jehu is
king!”"
2 Kings 9:12 “That is a lie!” they said. “Tell us now!” So Jehu answered, “He talked to me about this and that, and he said, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you
king over Israel.’”"
2 Kings 9:6 So Jehu got up and went into the house, where the young prophet poured the oil on his head and declared, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you
king over the LORD’s people Israel."
2 Kings 9:3 Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you
king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run. Do not delay!”"
2 Kings 8:29 So
King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael
king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram
king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
2 Kings 8:28 Then Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to fight against Hazael
king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.
2 Kings 8:26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri
king of Israel."
2 Kings 8:25 In the twelfth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became
king of Judah.
2 Kings 8:23 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 8:20 In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own
king.
2 Kings 8:18 And Jehoram walked in the ways of the
kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Kings 8:17 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
2 Kings 8:16 In the fifth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat succeeded his father as
king of Judah.
2 Kings 8:15 But the next day Hazael took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the
king’s face. So Ben-hadad died, and Hazael reigned in his place."
2 Kings 8:13 “But how could your servant, a mere dog, do such a monstrous thing?” said Hazael. And Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be
king over Aram.”"
2 Kings 8:9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha, ta
king with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad
king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”"
2 Kings 8:8 So the
king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand, go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”"
2 Kings 8:7 Then Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-hadad
king of Aram was sick, and the
king was told, “The man of God has come here.”"
2 Kings 8:6 When the
king asked the woman, she confirmed it. So the
king appointed for her an officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, along with all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the country until now.”"
2 Kings 8:5 And Gehazi was telling the
king how Elisha had brought the dead back to life. Just then the woman whose son Elisha had revived came to appeal to the
king for her house and her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the
king, this is the woman, and this is the son Elisha restored to life.”"
2 Kings 8:4 Now the
king had been spea
king to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please relate to me all the great things Elisha has done.”"
2 Kings 8:3 At the end of seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to the
king to appeal for her house and her land.
2 Kings 7:18 It happened just as the man of God had told the
king: “About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel.”"
2 Kings 7:17 Now the
king had appointed the officer on whose arm he leaned to be in charge of the gate, but the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died, just as the man of God had foretold when the
king had come to him.
2 Kings 7:15 And they tracked them as far as the Jordan, and indeed, the whole way was littered with the clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown off in haste. So the scouts returned and told the
king.
2 Kings 7:14 Then the scouts took two chariots with horses, and the
king sent them after the Aramean army, saying, “Go and see.”"
2 Kings 7:12 So the
king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the field, thin
king, ‘When they come out of the city, we will take them alive and enter the city.’”"
2 Kings 7:11 The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported to the
king’s household."
2 Kings 7:9 Finally, they said to one another, “We are not doing what is right. Today is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until morning light, our sin will overtake us. Now, therefore, let us go and tell the
king’s household.”"
2 Kings 7:6 For the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the
king of Israel must have hired the
kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to attack us.”"
2 Kings 7:2 But the officer on whose arm the
king leaned answered the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” replied Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it.”"
2 Kings 6:33 While Elisha was still spea
king with them, the messenger came down to him. And the
king said, “This calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”"
2 Kings 6:32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The
king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”"
2 Kings 6:30 When the
king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
2 Kings 6:28 Then the
king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’"
2 Kings 6:26 As the
king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the
king!”"
2 Kings 6:24 Some time later, Ben-hadad
king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
2 Kings 6:23 So the
king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drin
king, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.
2 Kings 6:21 And when the
king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”"
2 Kings 6:19 And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are see
king.” And he led them to Samaria."
2 Kings 6:14 the
king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
2 Kings 6:13 So the
king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.” On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,”"
2 Kings 6:12 But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the
king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the
king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”"
2 Kings 6:11 For this reason the
king of Aram became enraged and called his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the
king of Israel?”"
2 Kings 6:10 So the
king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again Elisha warned the
king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
2 Kings 6:9 Then the man of God sent word to the
king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”"
2 Kings 6:8 Now the
king of Aram was at war against Israel. After consulting with his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”"
2 Kings 5:8 Now when Elisha the man of God heard that the
king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the
king: “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let the man come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.”"
2 Kings 5:7 When the
king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and asked, “Am I God, killing and giving life, that this man expects me to cure a leper? Surely you can see that he is see
king a quarrel with me!”"
2 Kings 5:6 And the letter that he took to the
king of Israel stated: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”"
2 Kings 5:5 “Go now,” said the
king of Aram, “and I will send you with a letter to the
king of Israel.” So Naaman departed, ta
king with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing."
2 Kings 5:1 Now Naaman, the commander of the army of the
king of Aram, was a great man in his master’s sight and highly regarded, for through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. And he was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper."
2 Kings 4:13 and Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the
king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied."
2 Kings 3:26 When the
king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the
king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
2 Kings 3:23 “This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The
kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”"
2 Kings 3:21 Now all the Moabites had heard that the
kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
2 Kings 3:14 Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat
king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you."
2 Kings 3:13 Elisha, however, said to the
king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the
king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three
kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”"
2 Kings 3:12 Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the
king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the
king of Edom went down to him."
2 Kings 3:11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the
king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”"
2 Kings 3:10 “Alas,” said the
king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three
kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”"
2 Kings 3:9 So the
king of Israel, the
king of Judah, and the
king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
2 Kings 3:7 And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat
king of Judah: “The
king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”"
2 Kings 3:6 So at that time
King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
2 Kings 3:5 But after the death of Ahab, the
king of Moab rebelled against the
king of Israel.
2 Kings 3:4 Now Mesha
king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the
king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
2 Kings 3:1 In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years."
2 Kings 2:23 From there, Elisha went up to Bethel, and as he was wal
king up the road, a group of boys came out of the city and jeered at him, chanting, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”"
2 Kings 2:12 As Elisha watched, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And he saw Elijah no more. So ta
king hold of his own clothes, he tore them in two."
2 Kings 2:11 As they were wal
king along and tal
king together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.
2 Kings 1:18 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 1:16 And Elijah said to
King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”"
2 Kings 1:15 Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the
king."
2 Kings 1:13 So the
king sent a third captain with his fifty men. And the third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, “Man of God, may my life and the lives of these fifty servants please be precious in your sight."
2 Kings 1:11 So the
king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the
king declares, ‘Come down at once!’”"
2 Kings 1:9 Then
King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the
king declares, ‘Come down!’”"
2 Kings 1:8 “He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.” “It was Elijah the Tishbite,” said the
king."
2 Kings 1:7 The
king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?”"
2 Kings 1:6 They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the
king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”"
2 Kings 1:5 When the messengers returned to the
king, he asked them, “Why have you returned?”"
2 Kings 1:3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the
king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are on your way to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’"
1 Kings 22:53 Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provo
king the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
1 Kings 22:51 In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years."
1 Kings 22:47 And there was no
king in Edom; a deputy served as
king.
1 Kings 22:45 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
1 Kings 22:44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the
king of Israel.
1 Kings 22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became
king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi."
1 Kings 22:41 In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became
king of Judah."
1 Kings 22:39 As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
1 Kings 22:37 So the
king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
1 Kings 22:35 The battle raged throughout that day, and the
king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
1 Kings 22:34 However, a certain man drew his bow without ta
king special aim, and he struck the
king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the
king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”"
1 Kings 22:33 And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the
king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
1 Kings 22:32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the
king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out."
1 Kings 22:31 Now the
king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the
king of Israel.”"
♫ 1 Kings 22:30 And the
king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the
king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle."
1 Kings 22:29 So the
king of Israel and Jehoshaphat
king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
1 Kings 22:27 and tell them that this is what the
king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”"
1 Kings 22:26 And the
king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the
king’s son,"
1 Kings 22:18 Then the
king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”"
1 Kings 22:16 But the
king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”"
1 Kings 22:15 When Micaiah arrived, the
king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the
king.”"
1 Kings 22:13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the
king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”"
1 Kings 22:12 And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the
king.”"
1 Kings 22:10 Dressed in royal attire, the
king of Israel and Jehoshaphat
king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
1 Kings 22:9 So the
king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”"
1 Kings 22:8 The
king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The
king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied."
1 Kings 22:6 So the
king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the
king.”"
1 Kings 22:5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the
king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”"
1 Kings 22:4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the
king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”"
1 Kings 22:3 who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the
king of Aram?”"
1 Kings 22:2 However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat
king of Judah went down to visit the
king of Israel,
1 Kings 21:18 “Get up and go down to meet Ahab
king of Israel, who is in Samaria. See, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has gone to take possession."
1 Kings 21:13 And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite Naboth, and these men testified against him before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the
king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death."
1 Kings 21:10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify, ‘You have cursed both God and the
king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”"
1 Kings 21:1 Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab
king of Samaria.
1 Kings 20:43 Sullen and angry, the
king of Israel went home to Samaria.
1 Kings 20:42 And the prophet said to the
king, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have let slip from your hand the man I had devoted to destruction, your life will be exchanged for his life, and your people for his people.’”"
1 Kings 20:41 Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the
king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
1 Kings 20:40 But while your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.” And the
king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you have pronounced it on yourself.”"
1 Kings 20:39 As the
king passed by, he cried out to the
king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for his life, or you will weigh out a talent of silver.’"
1 Kings 20:38 and the prophet went and waited on the road for the
king, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.
1 Kings 20:33 Now the men were loo
king for a sign of hope, and they quickly grasped at this word and replied, “Yes, your brother Ben-hadad.” “Go and get him!” said the
king. Then Ben-hadad came out, and Ahab had him come up into his chariot."
1 Kings 20:32 So with sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the
king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please spare my life.’” And the
king answered, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”"
1 Kings 20:31 Then the servants of Ben-hadad said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the
kings of the house of Israel are merciful. Let us go out to the
king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life.”"
1 Kings 20:28 Then the man of God approached the
king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”"
1 Kings 20:25 And you must raise an army like the one you have lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the
king approved their plan and acted accordingly."
1 Kings 20:24 So do this: Dismiss all the
kings from their positions and replace them with other officers.
1 Kings 20:23 Meanwhile, the servants of the
king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they prevailed over us. Instead, we should fight them on the plains; surely then we will prevail."
1 Kings 20:22 Afterward, the prophet approached the
king of Israel and said, “Go and strengthen your position, and take note what you must do, for in the spring the
king of Aram will come up against you.”"
1 Kings 20:21 Then the
king of Israel marched out and attacked the horses and chariots, inflicting a great slaughter on the Arameans.
1 Kings 20:20 and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-hadad
king of Aram escaped on horseback with the cavalry.
1 Kings 20:16 They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the 32
kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk.
1 Kings 20:13 Meanwhile a prophet approached Ahab
king of Israel and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Do you see this entire great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this very day, and you will know that I am the LORD.’”"
1 Kings 20:12 Ben-hadad received this message while he and the
kings were drin
king in their tents, and he said to his servants, “Take your positions.” So they stationed themselves against the city."
1 Kings 20:11 And the
king of Israel replied, “Tell him: ‘The one putting on his armor should not boast like one ta
king it off.’”"
1 Kings 20:9 So Ahab answered the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the
king, ‘All that you demanded of your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” So the messengers departed and relayed the message to Ben-hadad."
1 Kings 20:7 Then the
king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please take note and see that this man is loo
king for trouble, for when he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, I did not deny him.”"
1 Kings 20:4 And the
king of Israel replied, “Just as you say, my lord the
king: I am yours, along with all that I have.”"
1 Kings 20:2 Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab
king of Israel,
1 Kings 20:1 Now Ben-hadad
king of Aram assembled his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two
kings with their horses and chariots, he marched up, besieged Samaria, and waged war against it.
1 Kings 19:16 You are also to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as
king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet.
1 Kings 19:15 Then the LORD said to him, “Go back by the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as
king over Aram."
1 Kings 19:14 “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are see
king my life as well.”"
1 Kings 19:10 “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are see
king my life as well.”"
1 Kings 18:10 As surely as the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or
kingdom where my lord has not sent someone to search for you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made that
kingdom or nation swear that they had not found you."
1 Kings 16:33 Then he set up an Asherah pole. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the
kings of Israel before him.
1 Kings 16:31 And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal
king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship Baal.
1 Kings 16:29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Ahab son of Omri became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty-two years."
1 Kings 16:27 As for the rest of the acts of Omri, along with his accomplishments and the might he exercised, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:26 For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins, which he caused Israel to commit, provo
king the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.
1 Kings 16:23 In the thirty-first year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Omri became
king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah."
1 Kings 16:22 But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became
king.
1 Kings 16:21 At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as
king, and half supported Omri.
1 Kings 16:20 As for the rest of the acts of Zimri and the treason he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:16 and the people in the camp heard that Zimri had not only conspired but had also struck down the
king. So there in the camp that very day, all Israel proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army,
king over Israel.
1 Kings 16:14 As for the rest of the acts of Elah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
1 Kings 16:13 This happened because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, provo
king the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.
1 Kings 16:8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Elah son of Baasha became
king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years."
1 Kings 16:7 Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the sight of the LORD, provo
king Him to anger with the work of his hands and becoming like the house of Jeroboam, and also because Baasha had struck down the house of Jeroboam.
1 Kings 16:5 As for the rest of the acts of Baasha, along with his accomplishments and might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
1 Kings 15:33 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became
king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years."
1 Kings 15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha
king of Israel throughout their days.
1 Kings 15:31 As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel?
1 Kings 15:29 As soon as Baasha became
king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
1 Kings 15:25 In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became
king of Israel, and he reigned two years."
1 Kings 15:23 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.
1 Kings 15:22 Then
King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials
King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
1 Kings 15:20 And Ben-hadad listened to
King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.
1 Kings 15:19 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha
king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”"
1 Kings 15:18 So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion
king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
1 Kings 15:17 Baasha
king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa
king of Judah.
1 Kings 15:16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha
king of Israel throughout their days.
1 Kings 15:9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became
king of Judah,"
1 Kings 15:7 As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
1 Kings 15:1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became
king of Judah,
1 Kings 14:29 As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Judah?
1 Kings 14:28 And whenever the
king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
1 Kings 14:27 Then
King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
1 Kings 14:25 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak
king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem."
1 Kings 14:21 Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became
king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite."
1 Kings 14:19 As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the
Kings of Israel.
1 Kings 14:15 For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provo
king the LORD to anger.
1 Kings 14:14 Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a
king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!"
1 Kings 14:8 I tore the
kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.
1 Kings 14:2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my
kingship over this people."
1 Kings 13:23 And after the man of God had finished eating and drin
king, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
1 Kings 13:11 Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the
king.
1 Kings 13:7 Then the
king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”"
1 Kings 13:6 Then the
king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the
king’s hand was restored to him as it was before."
1 Kings 13:4 Now when
King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back."
1 Kings 12:28 After see
king advice, the
king made two golden calves and said to the people, “Going up to Jerusalem is too much for you. Here, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”"
1 Kings 12:27 If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, their hearts will return to their lord, Rehoboam
king of Judah; then they will kill me and return to Rehoboam
king of Judah.”"
1 Kings 12:26 Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the
kingdom might revert to the house of David."
1 Kings 12:23 “Tell Rehoboam son of Solomon
king of Judah, all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people"
1 Kings 12:21 And when Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mobilized the whole house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin—180,000 chosen warriors—to fight against the house of Israel and restore the
kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon."
1 Kings 12:20 When all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, they summoned him to the assembly and made him
king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.
1 Kings 12:18 Then
King Rehoboam sent out Adoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. And
King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
1 Kings 12:16 When all Israel saw that the
king had refused to listen to them, they answered the
king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So the Israelites went home,"
1 Kings 12:15 So the
king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from the LORD, to fulfill the word He had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.
1 Kings 12:13 And the
king answered the people harshly. He rejected the advice of the elders
1 Kings 12:12 After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the
king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”"
1 Kings 12:7 They replied, “If you will be a servant to these people and serve them this day, and if you will respond by spea
king kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”"
1 Kings 12:6 Then
King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked."
1 Kings 12:2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he was still in Egypt where he had fled from
King Solomon and had been living ever since.
1 Kings 12:1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him
king.
1 Kings 11:40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak
king of Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon.
1 Kings 11:37 But as for you, I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be
king over Israel.
1 Kings 11:35 But I will take ten tribes of the
kingdom from the hand of his son and give them to you.
1 Kings 11:34 Nevertheless, I will not take the whole
kingdom out of Solomon’s hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and statutes."
1 Kings 11:31 and said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will tear the
kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten tribes."
1 Kings 11:27 and this is the account of his rebellion against the
king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.
1 Kings 11:26 Now Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled against the
king,
1 Kings 11:23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer
king of Zobah,
1 Kings 11:18 Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh
king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
1 Kings 11:13 Yet I will not tear the whole
kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”"
1 Kings 11:11 Then the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will tear the
kingdom away from you and give it to your servant."
1 Kings 11:1 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women."
1 Kings 10:29 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the
kings of the Hittites and to the
kings of Aram.
1 Kings 10:27 The
king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
1 Kings 10:23 So
King Solomon surpassed all the
kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
1 Kings 10:22 For the
king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks."
1 Kings 10:21 All
King Solomon’s drin
king cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon."
1 Kings 10:20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any
kingdom.
1 Kings 10:18 Additionally, the
king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
1 Kings 10:17 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the
king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
1 Kings 10:16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
1 Kings 10:15 not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian
kings and governors of the land.
1 Kings 10:13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants."
1 Kings 10:12 The
king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the
king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)"
1 Kings 10:10 Then she gave the
king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to
King Solomon.
1 Kings 10:9 Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you
king to carry out justice and righteousness.”"
1 Kings 10:6 She said to the
king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true."
1 Kings 10:3 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the
king to explain.
1 Kings 9:26 King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
1 Kings 9:16 Pharaoh
king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife."
1 Kings 9:15 This is the account of the forced labor that
King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
1 Kings 9:14 And Hiram had sent the
king 120 talents of gold.
1 Kings 9:11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram
king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
1 Kings 8:66 On the fifteenth day Solomon sent the people away. So they blessed the
king and went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things that the LORD had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.
1 Kings 8:64 On that same day the
king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.
1 Kings 8:63 And Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the
king and all the Israelites dedicated the house of the LORD.
1 Kings 8:62 Then the
king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.
1 Kings 8:14 And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the
king turned around and blessed them all
1 Kings 8:5 There, before the ark,
King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
1 Kings 8:2 And all the men of Israel came together to
King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.
1 Kings 7:51 So all the work that
King Solomon had performed for the house of the LORD was completed. Then Solomon brought in the items his father David had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the furnishings—and he placed them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD."
1 Kings 7:46 The
king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
1 Kings 7:45 and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. All the articles that Huram made for
King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze.
1 Kings 7:40 Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work that he had undertaken for
King Solomon in the house of the LORD:
1 Kings 7:14 He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a craftsman in bronze. Huram had great skill, understanding, and knowledge for every kind of bronze work. So he came to
King Solomon and carried out all his work.
1 Kings 7:13 Now
King Solomon sent to bring Huram from Tyre.
1 Kings 6:12 “As for this temple you are building, if you walk in My statutes, carry out My ordinances, and keep all My commandments by wal
king in them, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David."
1 Kings 6:2 The house that
King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high.
1 Kings 5:17 And the
king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.
1 Kings 5:13 Then
King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.
1 Kings 5:1 Now when Hiram
king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed
king in his father’s place, he sent envoys to Solomon; for Hiram had always been a friend of David."
1 Kings 4:34 So men of all nations came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the
kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom."
1 Kings 4:27 Each month the governors in turn provided food for
King Solomon and all who came to his table. They saw to it that nothing was lac
king.
1 Kings 4:24 For Solomon had dominion over everything west of the Euphrates—over all the
kingdoms from Tiphsah to Gaza—and he had peace on all sides."
1 Kings 4:21 And Solomon reigned over all the
kingdoms from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These
kingdoms offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
1 Kings 4:20 The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore, and they were eating and drin
king and rejoicing.
1 Kings 4:19 Geber son of Uri in the land of Gilead, including the territories of Sihon
king of the Amorites and of Og
king of Bashan. There was also one governor in the land of Judah.
1 Kings 4:7 Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel to provide food for the
king and his household. Each one would arrange provisions for one month of the year,
1 Kings 4:5 Azariah son of Nathan was in charge of the governors; Zabud son of Nathan was a priest and adviser to the
king;
1 Kings 3:28 When all Israel heard of the judgment the
king had given, they stood in awe of him, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.
1 Kings 3:27 Then the
king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him; she is his mother.”"
1 Kings 3:26 Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the
king because she yearned with compassion for her son. “Please, my lord,” she said, “give her the living baby. Do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!”"
1 Kings 3:25 and the
king declared, “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”"
1 Kings 3:24 The
king continued, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought him a sword,"
1 Kings 3:23 Then the
king replied, “This woman says, ‘My son is alive and yours is dead,’ but that woman says, ‘No, your son is dead and mine is alive.’”"
1 Kings 3:22 “No,” said the other woman, “the living one is my son and the dead one is your son.” But the first woman insisted, “No, the dead one is yours and the living one is mine.” So they argued before the
king."
1 Kings 3:16 At that time two prostitutes came to the
king and stood before him.
1 Kings 3:13 Moreover, I will give you what you did not request—both riches and honor—so that during all your days no man in any
kingdom will be your equal."
1 Kings 3:7 And now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant
king in my father David’s place. But I am only a little child, not knowing how to go out or come in."
1 Kings 3:4 Now the
king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for it was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on the altar there.
1 Kings 3:1 Later, Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh
king of Egypt by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his palace and the house of the LORD, as well as the wall around Jerusalem.
1 Kings 2:46 Then the
king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down, and he died. Thus the
kingdom was firmly established in the hand of Solomon.
1 Kings 2:45 But
King Solomon will be blessed and David’s throne will remain secure before the LORD forever.”"
1 Kings 2:44 The
king also said, “You know in your heart all the evil that you did to my father David. Therefore the LORD will bring your evil back upon your head."
1 Kings 2:42 the
king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD and warn you, ‘On the day you leave and go elsewhere, know for sure that you will die’? And you told me, ‘The sentence is fair; I will comply.’"
1 Kings 2:39 After three years, however, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away to Achish son of Maacah,
king of Gath. And Shimei was told, “Look, your slaves are in Gath.”"
1 Kings 2:38 “The sentence is fair,” Shimei replied. “Your servant will do as my lord the
king has spoken.” And Shimei lived in Jerusalem for a long time."
1 Kings 2:36 Then the
king summoned Shimei and said to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there, but do not go anywhere else."
1 Kings 2:35 And the
king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place."
1 Kings 2:31 And the
king replied, “Do just as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so remove from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood that Joab shed."
1 Kings 2:30 And Benaiah entered the tent of the LORD and said to Joab, “The
king says, ‘Come out!’” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah relayed the message to the
king, saying, “This is how Joab answered me.”"
1 Kings 2:29 It was reported to
King Solomon: “Joab has fled to the tent of the LORD and is now beside the altar.” So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, strike him down!”"
1 Kings 2:26 Then the
king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. Even though you deserve to die, I will not put you to death at this time, since you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and you suffered through all that my father suffered.”"
1 Kings 2:25 So
King Solomon sent the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who struck down Adonijah, and he died.
1 Kings 2:23 Then
King Solomon swore by the LORD: “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if Adonijah has not made this request at the expense of his life."
1 Kings 2:22 King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Since he is my older brother, you might as well request the
kingdom for him and for Abiathar the priest and for Joab son of Zeruiah!”"
1 Kings 2:20 “I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the
king replied, “for I will not deny you.”"
1 Kings 2:19 So Bathsheba went to
King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. The
king stood up to greet her, bowed to her, and sat down on his throne. Then the
king had a throne brought for his mother, who sat down at his right hand.
1 Kings 2:18 “Very well,” Bathsheba replied. “I will speak to the
king for you.”"
1 Kings 2:17 Adonijah replied, “Please speak to
King Solomon, since he will not turn you down. Let him give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”"
1 Kings 2:15 “You know that the
kingship was mine,” he said. “All Israel expected that I should reign, but the
kingship has turned to my brother, for it has come to him from the LORD."
1 Kings 2:12 So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his
kingdom was firmly established.
1 Kings 1:53 So
King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before
King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”"
1 Kings 1:51 It was reported to Solomon: “Behold, Adonijah fears
King Solomon, and he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let
King Solomon first swear to me not to put his servant to the sword.’”"
1 Kings 1:47 The
king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord
King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more famous than your own name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ And the
king has bowed in worship on his bed,"
1 Kings 1:45 Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him
king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there with rejoicing that rings out in the city. That is the noise you hear.
1 Kings 1:44 And with Solomon, the
king has sent Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they have set him on the
king’s mule."
1 Kings 1:43 “Not at all,” Jonathan replied. “Our lord
King David has made Solomon
king."
1 Kings 1:42 As he was spea
king, suddenly Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest arrived. “Come in,” said Adonijah, “for you are a man of valor. You must be bringing good news.”"
1 Kings 1:39 Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the ram’s horn, and all the people proclaimed, “Long live
King Solomon!”"
1 Kings 1:38 Then Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, along with the Cherethites and Pelethites, went down and set Solomon on
King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon."
1 Kings 1:37 Just as the LORD was with my lord the
king, so may He be with Solomon and make his throne even greater than that of my lord
King David.”"
1 Kings 1:36 “Amen,” replied Benaiah son of Jehoiada. “May the LORD, the God of my lord the
king, so declare it."
1 Kings 1:34 There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet are to anoint him
king over Israel. You are to blow the ram’s horn and declare, ‘Long live
King Solomon!’"
1 Kings 1:33 “Take my servants with you,” said the
king. “Set my son Solomon on my own mule and take him down to Gihon."
1 Kings 1:32 Then
King David said, “Call in for me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the
king."
1 Kings 1:31 Bathsheba bowed facedown in homage to the
king and said, “May my lord
King David live forever!”"
1 Kings 1:29 And the
king swore an oath, saying, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,"
1 Kings 1:28 Then
King David said, “Call in Bathsheba for me.” So she came into the
king’s presence and stood before him."
1 Kings 1:27 Has my lord the
king let this happen without informing your servant who should sit on the throne after my lord the
king?”"
1 Kings 1:25 For today he has gone down and sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the sons of the
king, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drin
king before him, saying, ‘Long live
King Adonijah!’"
1 Kings 1:24 “My lord the
king,” said Nathan, “did you say, ‘Adonijah will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne’?"
1 Kings 1:23 So the
king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” And Nathan went in and bowed facedown before the
king."
1 Kings 1:22 And just then, while Bathsheba was still spea
king with the
king, Nathan the prophet arrived.
1 Kings 1:21 Otherwise, when my lord the
king rests with his fathers, I and my son Solomon will be counted as criminals.”"
1 Kings 1:20 And as for you, my lord the
king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the
king after him.
1 Kings 1:19 And he has sacrificed an abundance of oxen, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the other sons of the
king, as well as Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army. But he did not invite your servant Solomon.
1 Kings 1:18 But now, behold, Adonijah has become
king, and you, my lord the
king, did not know it.
1 Kings 1:16 And Bathsheba bowed down in homage to the
king, who asked, “What is your desire?”"
1 Kings 1:15 So Bathsheba went to see the
king in his bedroom. Since the
king was very old, Abishag the Shunammite was serving him.
1 Kings 1:14 Then, while you are still there spea
king with the
king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”"
1 Kings 1:13 Go at once to
King David and say, ‘My lord the
king, did you not swear to your maidservant, “Surely your son Solomon will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become
king?’"
1 Kings 1:11 Then Nathan said to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, “Have you not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become
king, and our lord David does not know it?"
1 Kings 1:9 And Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened calves near the stone of Zoheleth, which is next to En-rogel. He invited all his royal brothers and all the men of Judah who were servants of the
king.
1 Kings 1:5 At that time Adonijah, David’s son by Haggith, began to exalt himself, saying, “I will be
king!” And he acquired chariots and horsemen and fifty men to run ahead of him."
1 Kings 1:4 The girl was unsurpassed in beauty; she cared for the
king and served him, but he had no relations with her.
1 Kings 1:3 Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl, and they found Abishag the Shunammite and brought her to the
king.
1 Kings 1:2 So his servants said to him, “Let us search for a young virgin for our lord the
king, to attend to him and care for him and lie by his side to keep him warm.”"
1 Kings 1:1 Now
King David was old and well along in years, and though they covered him with blankets, he could not keep warm.
2 Samuel 24:24 “No,” replied the
king, “I insist on paying a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver."
2 Samuel 24:23 O
king, Araunah gives all these to the
king.” He also said to the
king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”"
2 Samuel 24:22 Araunah said to David, “My lord the
king may take whatever seems good and offer it up. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood."
2 Samuel 24:21 “Why has my lord the
king come to his servant?” Araunah said. “To buy your threshing floor,” David replied, “that I may build an altar to the LORD, so that the plague upon the people may be halted.”"
2 Samuel 24:20 When Araunah looked out and saw the
king and his servants coming toward him, he went out and bowed facedown before the
king.
2 Samuel 24:17 When David saw the angel stri
king down the people, he said to the LORD, “Surely I, the shepherd, have sinned and acted wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? Please, let Your hand fall upon me and my father’s house.”"
2 Samuel 24:9 And Joab reported to the
king the total number of the troops. In Israel there were 800,000 men of valor who drew the sword, and in Judah there were 500,000.
2 Samuel 24:4 Nevertheless, the
king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. So Joab and the commanders of the army departed from the presence of the
king to count the troops of Israel."
2 Samuel 24:3 But Joab replied to the
king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the
king see it. But why does my lord the
king want to do such a thing?”"
2 Samuel 24:2 So the
king said to Joab the commander of his army, who was with him, “Go now throughout the tribes of Israel from Dan to Beersheba and register the troops, so that I may know their number.”"
2 Samuel 22:51 Great salvation He brings to His
king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”"
2 Samuel 21:14 And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the
king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land."
2 Samuel 21:8 But the
king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
2 Samuel 21:7 Now the
king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
2 Samuel 21:6 let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the
king."
2 Samuel 21:5 And they answered the
king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,"
2 Samuel 20:22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn and his men dispersed from the city, each to his own home. And Joab returned to the
king in Jerusalem."
2 Samuel 20:21 That is not the case. But a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the
king, against David. Deliver him alone, and I will depart from the city.” “Look,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”"
2 Samuel 20:4 Then the
king said to Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.”"
2 Samuel 20:2 So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow Sheba son of Bichri. But the men of Judah stayed by their
king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 19:43 “We have ten shares in the
king,” answered the men of Israel, “so we have more claim to David than you. Why then do you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of restoring our
king?” But the men of Judah pressed even harder than the men of Israel."
2 Samuel 19:42 And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, “We did this because the
king is our relative. Why does this anger you? Have we ever eaten at the
king’s expense or received anything for ourselves?”"
2 Samuel 19:41 Soon all the men of Israel came to the
king and asked, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and bring the
king and his household across the Jordan, together with all of David’s men?”"
2 Samuel 19:40 Then the
king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham crossed over with him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel escorted the
king.
2 Samuel 19:39 So all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the
king crossed over. The
king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and Barzillai returned home.
2 Samuel 19:38 The
king replied, “Chimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good in your sight, and I will do for you whatever you desire of me.”"
2 Samuel 19:37 Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the
king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”"
2 Samuel 19:36 Your servant could go with the
king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the
king repay me with such a reward?
2 Samuel 19:35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the
king?
2 Samuel 19:34 But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the
king?"
2 Samuel 19:33 The
king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.”"
2 Samuel 19:32 Barzillai was quite old, eighty years of age, and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the
king while he stayed in Mahanaim.
2 Samuel 19:31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the
king and send him on his way from there.
2 Samuel 19:30 And Mephibosheth said to the
king, “Instead, since my lord the
king has safely come to his own house, let Ziba take it all!”"
2 Samuel 19:29 The
king replied, “Why say any more? I hereby declare that you and Ziba are to divide the land.”"
2 Samuel 19:28 For all the house of my grandfather deserves death from my lord the
king, yet you have set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right, then, do I have to keep appealing to the
king?”"
2 Samuel 19:27 and he has slandered your servant to my lord the
king. Yet my lord the
king is like the angel of God, so do what is good in your eyes.
2 Samuel 19:26 “My lord the
king,” he replied, “because I am lame, I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled so that I may ride on it and go with the
king.’ But my servant Ziba deceived me,"
2 Samuel 19:25 And he came from Jerusalem to meet the
king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”"
2 Samuel 19:24 Then Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went down to meet the
king. He had not cared for his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the
king had left until the day he returned safely."
2 Samuel 19:23 So the
king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the
king swore an oath to him."
2 Samuel 19:22 And David replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, what have I to do with you, that you should be my adversaries today? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? Am I not indeed aware that today I am
king over Israel?”"
2 Samuel 19:20 For your servant knows that I have sinned, so here I am today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the
king.”"
2 Samuel 19:19 and said, “My lord, do not hold me guilty, and do not remember your servant’s wrongdoing on the day my lord the
king left Jerusalem. May the
king not take it to heart."
2 Samuel 19:18 and crossed at the ford to carry over the
king’s household and to do what was good in his sight. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell down before the
king"
2 Samuel 19:17 along with a thousand men of Benjamin, as well as Ziba the steward of the house of Saul and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan before the
king 2 Samuel 19:16 Then Shimei son of Gera, a Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet
King David,
2 Samuel 19:15 So the
king returned, and when he arrived at the Jordan, the men of Judah came to Gilgal to meet him and escort him across the Jordan.
2 Samuel 19:14 So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah as though they were one man, and they sent word to the
king: “Return, you and all your servants.”"
2 Samuel 19:12 You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to restore the
king?’"
2 Samuel 19:11 Then
King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the
king to his palace, since the talk of all Israel has reached the
king at his quarters?"
2 Samuel 19:10 But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the
king?”"
2 Samuel 19:9 And all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were arguing, “The
king rescued us from the hand of our enemies and delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of Absalom."
2 Samuel 19:8 So the
king got up and sat in the gate, and all the people were told: “Behold, the
king is sitting in the gate.” So they all came before the
king. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled, each man to his home."
2 Samuel 19:5 Then Joab went into the house and said to the
king, “Today you have disgraced all your servants who have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, of your wives, and of your concubines."
2 Samuel 19:4 But the
king covered his face and cried out at the top of his voice, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”"
2 Samuel 19:2 And that day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the people, because on that day they were told, “The
king is grieving over his son.”"
2 Samuel 19:1 Then it was reported to Joab, “The
king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”"
2 Samuel 18:33 The
king was shaken and went up to the gate chamber and wept. And as he walked, he cried out, “O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”"
2 Samuel 18:32 The
king asked the Cushite, “Is the young man Absalom all right?” And the Cushite replied, “May what has become of the young man happen to the enemies of my lord the
king and to all who rise up against you to harm you.”"
2 Samuel 18:31 Just then the Cushite came and said, “May my lord the
king hear the good news: Today the LORD has avenged you of all who rose up against you!”"
2 Samuel 18:30 “Move aside,” said the
king, “and stand here.” So he stepped aside."
2 Samuel 18:29 The
king asked, “Is the young man Absalom all right?” And Ahimaaz replied, “When Joab sent the
king’s servant and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I do not know what it was.”"
2 Samuel 18:28 Then Ahimaaz called out to the
king, “All is well!” And he bowed facedown before the
king. He continued, “Blessed be the LORD your God! He has delivered up the men who raised their hands against my lord the
king.”"
2 Samuel 18:27 The watchman said, “The first man appears to me to be running like Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” “This is a good man,” said the
king. “He comes with good news.”"
2 Samuel 18:26 the watchman saw another man running, and he called out to the gatekeeper, “Look! Another man is running alone!” “This one also brings good news,” said the
king."
2 Samuel 18:25 So he called out and told the
king. “If he is alone,” the
king replied, “he bears good news.” As the first runner drew near,"
2 Samuel 18:21 So Joab said to a Cushite, “Go, tell the
king what you have seen.” The Cushite bowed to Joab and took off running."
2 Samuel 18:20 But Joab replied, “You are not the man to take good news today. You may do it another day, but you must not do so today, because the
king’s son is dead.”"
2 Samuel 18:19 Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and tell the
king the good news that the LORD has avenged him of his enemies.”"
2 Samuel 18:18 During his lifetime, Absalom had set up for himself a pillar in the
King’s Valley, for he had said, “I have no son to preserve the memory of my name.” So he gave the pillar his name, and to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument."
2 Samuel 18:13 If I had jeopardized my own life—and nothing is hidden from the
king—you would have abandoned me.”"
2 Samuel 18:12 The man replied, “Even if a thousand shekels of silver were weighed out into my hands, I would not raise my hand against the son of the
king. For we heard the
king command you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’"
2 Samuel 18:5 Now the
king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” And all the people heard the
king’s orders to each of the commanders regarding Absalom."
2 Samuel 18:4 “I will do whatever seems best to you,” the
king replied. So he stood beside the gate, while all the troops marched out by hundreds and by thousands."
2 Samuel 18:2 He sent out the troops, a third under Joab, a third under Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the
king said to the troops, “I will surely march out with you as well.”"
2 Samuel 17:21 After the men had gone, Ahimaaz and Jonathan climbed up out of the well and went to inform
King David, saying, “Get up and cross over the river at once, for Ahithophel has given this advice against you.”"
2 Samuel 17:17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform
King David, for they dared not be seen entering the city.
2 Samuel 17:16 Now send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but be sure to cross over. Otherwise the
king and all the people with him will be swallowed up.’”"
2 Samuel 17:2 I will attack him while he is weak and weary; I will throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will flee; I will strike down only the
king 2 Samuel 16:16 And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the
king! Long live the
king!”"
2 Samuel 16:14 Finally, the
king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
2 Samuel 16:10 But the
king replied, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses me because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”"
2 Samuel 16:9 Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the
king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the
king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”"
2 Samuel 16:8 The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the
kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of bloodshed!”"
2 Samuel 16:6 He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the
king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left."
2 Samuel 16:5 As
King David approached Bahurim, a man from the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and as he approached, he kept yelling out curses.
2 Samuel 16:4 So the
king said to Ziba, “All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!” “I humbly bow before you,” said Ziba. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the
king!”"
2 Samuel 16:3 “Where is your master’s grandson?” asked the
king. And Ziba answered, “Indeed, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore to me the
kingdom of my grandfather.’”"
2 Samuel 16:2 “Why do you have these?” asked the
king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the
king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”"
2 Samuel 15:35 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the
king’s palace."
2 Samuel 15:34 But you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me if you return to the city and say to Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my
king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’"
2 Samuel 15:30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was wal
king barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went.
2 Samuel 15:27 The
king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan."
2 Samuel 15:25 Then the
king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again."
2 Samuel 15:23 Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by. And as the
king crossed the Kidron Valley, all the people also passed toward the way of the wilderness.
2 Samuel 15:21 But Ittai answered the
king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the
king lives, wherever my lord the
king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be!”"
2 Samuel 15:19 Then the
king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new
king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland."
2 Samuel 15:17 So the
king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
2 Samuel 15:16 Then the
king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
2 Samuel 15:15 The
king’s servants replied, “Whatever our lord the
king decides, we are your servants.”"
2 Samuel 15:9 “Go in peace,” said the
king. So Absalom got up and went to Hebron."
2 Samuel 15:7 After four years had passed, Absalom said to the
king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I have made to the LORD."
2 Samuel 15:6 Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the
king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel 15:3 Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the
king has no deputy to hear you.”"
2 Samuel 15:2 He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the
king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”"
2 Samuel 14:33 So Joab went and told the
king, and David summoned Absalom, who came to him and bowed facedown before him. Then the
king kissed Absalom.
2 Samuel 14:32 “Look,” said Absalom, “I sent for you and said, ‘Come here. I want to send you to the
king to ask: Why have I come back from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the
king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”"
2 Samuel 14:29 Then he sent for Joab to send him to the
king, but Joab refused to come to him. So Absalom sent a second time, but Joab still would not come.
2 Samuel 14:28 Now Absalom lived in Jerusalem two years without seeing the face of the
king.
2 Samuel 14:24 But the
king added, “He may return to his house, but he must not see my face.” So Absalom returned to his own house, but he did not see the
king."
2 Samuel 14:22 Joab fell facedown in homage and blessed the
king. “Today,” said Joab, “your servant knows that he has found favor with you, my lord the
king, because the
king has granted his request.”"
2 Samuel 14:21 Then the
king said to Joab, “I hereby grant this request. Go, bring back the young man Absalom.”"
2 Samuel 14:19 So the
king asked, “Is the hand of Joab behind all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the
king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the
king says. Yes, your servant Joab is the one who gave me orders; he told your maidservant exactly what to say."
2 Samuel 14:18 Then the
king said to the woman, “I am going to ask you something; do not conceal it from me!” “Let my lord the
king speak,” she replied."
2 Samuel 14:17 And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the
king bring me rest, for my lord the
king is able to discern good and evil, just like the angel of God. May the LORD your God be with you.’”"
2 Samuel 14:16 For the
king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would cut off both me and my son from God’s inheritance.’"
2 Samuel 14:15 Now therefore, I have come to present this matter to my lord the
king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the
king. Perhaps he will grant the request of his maidservant."
2 Samuel 14:13 The woman asked, “Why have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the
king says this, does he not convict himself, since he has not brought back his own banished son?"
2 Samuel 14:12 Then the woman said, “Please, may your servant speak a word to my lord the
king?” “Speak,” he replied."
2 Samuel 14:11 “Please,” she replied, “may the
king invoke the LORD your God to prevent the avenger of blood from increasing the devastation, so that my son may not be destroyed!” “As surely as the LORD lives,” he vowed, “not a hair of your son’s head will fall to the ground.”"
2 Samuel 14:10 “If anyone speaks to you,” said the
king, “bring him to me, and he will not trouble you again!”"
2 Samuel 14:9 But the woman of Tekoa said to the
king, “My lord the
king, may any blame be on me and on my father’s house, and may the
king and his throne be guiltless.”"
2 Samuel 14:8 “Go home,” the
king said to the woman, “and I will give orders on your behalf.”"
2 Samuel 14:5 “What troubles you?” the
king asked her. “Indeed,” she said, “I am a widow, for my husband is dead."
2 Samuel 14:4 When the woman from Tekoa went to the
king, she fell facedown in homage and said, “Help me, O
king!”"
2 Samuel 14:3 Then go to the
king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth."
2 Samuel 14:1 Now Joab son of Zeruiah perceived that the
king’s heart longed for Absalom."
2 Samuel 13:39 And
King David longed to go to Absalom, for he had been consoled over Amnon’s death."
2 Samuel 13:37 Now Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud, the
king of Geshur. But David mourned for his son every day.
2 Samuel 13:36 And as he finished spea
king, the sons of the
king came in, wailing loudly. Then the
king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.
2 Samuel 13:35 So Jonadab said to the
king, “Look, the sons of the
king have arrived! It is just as your servant said.”"
2 Samuel 13:34 Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. When the young man standing watch looked up, he saw many people coming down the road west of him, along the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the
king, “I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.”"
2 Samuel 13:33 So now, my lord the
king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the
king are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”"
2 Samuel 13:32 But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the sons of the
king, for only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this since the day Amnon violated his sister Tamar."
2 Samuel 13:31 Then the
king stood up, tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground; and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.
2 Samuel 13:30 While they were on the way, a report reached David: “Absalom has struck down all the sons of the
king; not one of them is left!”"
2 Samuel 13:29 So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the
king got up, and each one fled on his mule."
2 Samuel 13:27 But Absalom urged him, so the
king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
2 Samuel 13:26 “If not,” said Absalom, “please let my brother Amnon go with us.” “Why should he go with you?” the
king asked."
2 Samuel 13:25 “No, my son,” the
king replied, “we should not all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing."
2 Samuel 13:24 And he went to the
king and said, “Your servant has just hired shearers. Will the
king and his servants please come with me?”"
2 Samuel 13:23 Two years later, when Absalom’s sheepshearers were at Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the
king."
2 Samuel 13:18 So Amnon’s attendant threw her out and bolted the door behind her. Now Tamar was wearing a robe of many colors, because this is what the
king’s virgin daughters wore."
2 Samuel 13:13 Where could I ever take my shame? And you would be like one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the
king, for he will not withhold me from you.”"
2 Samuel 13:6 So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the
king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar come and make a couple of cakes in my sight, so that I may eat from her hand.”"
2 Samuel 13:4 so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the
king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”"
2 Samuel 12:30 Then he took the crown from the head of their
king. It weighed a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city."
2 Samuel 12:7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you
king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul."
2 Samuel 12:4 Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from ta
king one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”"
2 Samuel 11:24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall, and some of the
king’s servants were killed. And your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.”"
2 Samuel 11:20 if the
king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall?"
2 Samuel 11:19 and instructed the messenger, “When you have finished giving the
king all the details of the battle,"
2 Samuel 11:8 Then he said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the
king followed him."
2 Samuel 11:1 In the spring, at the time when
kings march out to war, David sent out Joab and his servants with the whole army of Israel. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 10:19 When all the
kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
2 Samuel 10:6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-rehob and Zoba, as well as a thousand men from the
king of Maacah and twelve thousand men from Tob.
2 Samuel 10:5 When this was reported to David, he sent messengers to meet the men, since they had been thoroughly humiliated. The
king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”"
2 Samuel 10:1 Some time later, the
king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son Hanun.
2 Samuel 9:13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the
king’s table, and he was lame in both feet."
2 Samuel 9:11 And Ziba said to the
king, “Your servant will do all that my lord the
king has commanded.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the
king’s own sons."
2 Samuel 9:9 Then the
king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “I have given to your master’s grandson all that belonged to Saul and to all his house."
2 Samuel 9:5 So
King David had him brought from the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.
2 Samuel 9:4 “Where is he?” replied the
king. And Ziba said, “Indeed, he is in Lo-debar at the house of Machir son of Ammiel.”"
2 Samuel 9:3 So the
king asked, “Is there anyone left of Saul’s family to whom I can show the kindness of God?” Ziba answered, “There is still Jonathan’s son, who is lame in both feet.”"
2 Samuel 9:2 And there was a servant of Saul’s family named Ziba. They summoned him to David, and the
king inquired, “Are you Ziba?” “I am your servant,” he replied."
2 Samuel 8:13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from stri
king down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
2 Samuel 8:12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob,
king of Zobah.
2 Samuel 8:11 and
King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—"
2 Samuel 8:10 he sent his son Joram to greet
King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
2 Samuel 8:9 When
King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
2 Samuel 8:8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer,
King David took a large amount of bronze.
2 Samuel 8:5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help
King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
2 Samuel 8:3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob,
king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
2 Samuel 7:18 Then
King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?"
2 Samuel 7:16 Your house and
kingdom will endure forever before Me, and your throne will be established forever.”"
2 Samuel 7:13 He will build a house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of his
kingdom forever.
2 Samuel 7:12 And when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his
kingdom.
2 Samuel 7:3 And Nathan replied to the
king, “Go and do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”"
2 Samuel 7:1 After the
king had settled into his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,
2 Samuel 6:20 As soon as David returned home to bless his own household, Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. “How the
king of Israel has distinguished himself today!” she said. “He has uncovered himself today in the sight of the maidservants of his subjects, like a vulgar person would do.”"
2 Samuel 6:16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from a window and saw
King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart."
2 Samuel 6:12 Now it was reported to
King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing."
2 Samuel 6:4 bringing with it the ark of God. And Ahio was wal
king in front of the ark.
2 Samuel 5:17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed
king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the stronghold.
2 Samuel 5:12 And David realized that the LORD had established him as
king over Israel and had exalted his
kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
2 Samuel 5:11 Now Hiram
king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
2 Samuel 5:6 Now the
king and his men marched to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. The Jebusites said to David: “You will never get in here. Even the blind and lame can repel you.” For they thought, “David cannot get in here.”"
2 Samuel 5:4 David was thirty years old when he became
king, and he reigned forty years.
2 Samuel 5:3 So all the elders of Israel came to the
king at Hebron, where
King David made with them a covenant before the LORD. And they anointed him
king over Israel.
2 Samuel 5:2 Even in times past, while Saul was
king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”"
2 Samuel 4:8 They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the
king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the
king against Saul and his offspring.”"
2 Samuel 4:5 Now Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while the
king was ta
king his midday nap.
2 Samuel 3:39 And I am weak this day, though anointed as
king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too fierce for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil!”"
2 Samuel 3:38 Then the
king said to his servants, “Do you not realize that a great prince has fallen today in Israel?"
2 Samuel 3:37 So on that day all the troops and all Israel were convinced that the
king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.
2 Samuel 3:36 All the people took note and were pleased. In fact, everything the
king did pleased them.
2 Samuel 3:33 And the
king sang this lament for Abner: “Should Abner die the death of a fool?"
2 Samuel 3:32 When they buried Abner in Hebron, the
king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb, and all the people wept."
2 Samuel 3:31 Then David ordered Joab and all the people with him, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner.” And
King David himself walked behind the funeral bier."
2 Samuel 3:28 Afterward, David heard about this and said, “I and my
kingdom are forever guiltless before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner."
2 Samuel 3:24 So Joab went to the
king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him? Now he is getting away!"
2 Samuel 3:23 When Joab and all his troops arrived, he was informed, “Abner son of Ner came to see the
king, who sent him on his way in peace.”"
2 Samuel 3:21 Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once, and I will gather all Israel to my lord the
king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he went in peace."
2 Samuel 3:17 Now Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, “In the past you sought David as your
king."
2 Samuel 3:10 to transfer the
kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”"
2 Samuel 3:3 his second was Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; his third was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of
King Talmai of Geshur;
2 Samuel 2:11 And the length of time that David was
king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
2 Samuel 2:9 and made him
king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin—over all Israel."
2 Samuel 2:7 Now then, be strong and courageous, for though Saul your lord is dead, the house of Judah has anointed me as their
king.”"
2 Samuel 2:4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David
king over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul.”"
1 Samuel 30:16 So he led David down, and there were the Amalekites spread out over all the land, eating, drin
king, and celebrating the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
1 Samuel 29:8 “But what have I done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the
king?”"
1 Samuel 29:3 Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of
King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”"
1 Samuel 28:17 He has done exactly what He spoke through me: The LORD has torn the
kingship out of your hand and given it to your neighbor David.
1 Samuel 28:13 “Do not be afraid,” the
king replied. “What do you see?” “I see a god coming up out of the earth,” the woman answered."
1 Samuel 27:12 So Achish trusted David, thin
king, “Since he has made himself an utter stench to his people Israel, he will be my servant forever.”"
1 Samuel 27:6 That day Achish gave him Ziklag, and to this day it still belongs to the
kings of Judah.
1 Samuel 27:2 So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the
king of Gath.
1 Samuel 26:22 “Here is the
king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of the young men come over and get it."
1 Samuel 26:20 So do not let my blood fall to the ground far from the presence of the LORD. For the
king of Israel has come out to look for a flea, like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”"
1 Samuel 26:19 Now please, may my lord the
king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’"
1 Samuel 26:17 Then Saul recognized David’s voice and asked, “Is that your voice, David my son?” “It is my voice, my lord and
king,” David said."
1 Samuel 26:16 This thing you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, all of you deserve to die, since you did not protect your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now look around. Where are the
king’s spear and water jug that were by his head?”"
1 Samuel 26:15 So David said to Abner, “You are a man, aren’t you? And who in Israel is your equal? Why then did you not protect your lord the
king when one of the people came to destroy him?"
1 Samuel 26:14 And David shouted to the troops and to Abner son of Ner, “Will you not answer me, Abner?” “Who calls to the
king?” Abner replied."
1 Samuel 25:39 On hearing that Nabal was dead, David said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has upheld my cause against the reproach of Nabal and has restrained His servant from evil. For the LORD has brought the wickedness of Nabal down upon his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, as
king for her in marriage."
1 Samuel 25:36 When Abigail returned to Nabal, there he was in the house, holding a feast fit for a
king, in high spirits and very drunk. So she told him nothing until morning light.
1 Samuel 25:10 But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are brea
king away from their masters."
1 Samuel 24:20 Now I know for sure that you will be
king, and that the
kingdom of Israel will be established in your hands.
1 Samuel 24:14 Against whom has the
king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?
1 Samuel 24:8 After that, David got up, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, “My lord the
king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed facedown in reverence"
1 Samuel 23:20 Now, O
king, come down whenever your soul desires, and we will be responsible for delivering him into your hand.”"
1 Samuel 23:17 saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be
king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”"
1 Samuel 23:5 Then David and his men went to Keilah, fought against the Philistines, and carried off their livestock, stri
king them with a mighty blow. So David saved the people of Keilah.
1 Samuel 22:23 Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks your life is see
king mine as well. You will be safe with me.”"
1 Samuel 22:18 So the
king ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests himself. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod."
1 Samuel 22:17 Then the
king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the
king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD."
1 Samuel 22:16 But the
king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”"
1 Samuel 22:15 Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the
king accuse your servant or any of my father’s household, for your servant knew nothing of this whole affair—not in part or in whole.”"
1 Samuel 22:14 Ahimelech answered the
king, “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David, the
king’s son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguard who is honored in your house?"
1 Samuel 22:11 Then the
king sent messengers to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests at Nob. And all of them came to the
king."
1 Samuel 22:7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse giving all of you fields and vineyards and ma
king you commanders of thousands or hundreds?"
1 Samuel 22:4 So he left them in the care of the
king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the stronghold.
1 Samuel 22:3 From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab, where he said to the
king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay with you until I learn what God will do for me.”"
1 Samuel 21:12 Now David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish the
king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:11 But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David, the
king of the land? Did they not sing about him in their dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”"
1 Samuel 21:10 That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish
king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:8 Then David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not a spear or sword on hand here? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the
king’s business was urgent.”"
1 Samuel 21:2 “The
king has given me a mission,” David replied. “He told me no one is to know about the mission or charge. And I have directed my young men to meet me at a certain place."
1 Samuel 20:31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your
kingship shall be established. Now send for him and bring him to me, for he must surely die!”"
1 Samuel 20:29 saying, ‘Please let me go, because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he did not come to the
king’s table.”"
1 Samuel 20:24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon had come, the
king sat down to eat.
1 Samuel 20:5 So David told him, “Look, tomorrow is the New Moon, and I am supposed to dine with the
king. Instead, let me go and hide in the field until the third evening from now."
1 Samuel 19:4 Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The
king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you."
1 Samuel 18:27 David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the
king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage."
1 Samuel 18:26 When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the
king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,"
1 Samuel 18:25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The
king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines."
1 Samuel 18:23 But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the
king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”"
1 Samuel 18:22 Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the
king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”"
1 Samuel 18:18 And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the
king?”"
1 Samuel 18:17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thin
king, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”"
1 Samuel 18:11 and he hurled it, thin
king, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice."
1 Samuel 18:8 And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the
kingdom?”"
1 Samuel 18:6 As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet
King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
1 Samuel 18:1 After David had finished spea
king with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
1 Samuel 17:56 “Find out whose son this young man is!” said the
king."
1 Samuel 17:55 As Saul had watched David going out to confront the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “As surely as you live, O
king,” Abner replied, “I do not know.”"
1 Samuel 17:49 Then David reached into his bag, took out a stone, and slung it, stri
king the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
1 Samuel 17:28 Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him spea
king to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!”"
1 Samuel 17:25 Now the men of Israel had been saying, “Do you see this man who keeps coming out to defy Israel? To the man who kills him the
king will give great riches. And he will give him his daughter in marriage and exempt his father’s house from taxation in Israel.”"
1 Samuel 17:23 And as he was spea
king with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.
1 Samuel 16:1 Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as
king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have selected from his sons a
king for Myself.”"
1 Samuel 15:35 And to the day of his death, Samuel never again visited Saul. Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul
king over Israel.
1 Samuel 15:32 Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag
king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him cheerfully, for he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”"
1 Samuel 15:28 So Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the
kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you."
1 Samuel 15:26 “I will not return with you,” Samuel replied. “For you have rejected the word of the LORD, and He has rejected you as
king over Israel.”"
1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance is like the wickedness of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He has rejected you as
king.”"
1 Samuel 15:20 “But I did obey the LORD,” Saul replied. “I went on the mission that the LORD gave me. I brought back Agag
king of Amalek and devoted the Amalekites to destruction."
1 Samuel 15:17 And Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, have you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you
king over Israel"
1 Samuel 15:11 “I regret that I have made Saul
king, for he has turned away from following Me and has not carried out My instructions.” And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all that night."
1 Samuel 15:8 He captured Agag
king of Amalek alive, but devoted all the others to destruction with the sword.
1 Samuel 15:1 Then Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you
king over His people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD."
1 Samuel 14:47 After Saul had assumed the
kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side—the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Edomites, the
kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he routed them."
1 Samuel 14:32 So they rushed greedily to the plunder, ta
king sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them on the ground and ate meat with the blood still in it.
1 Samuel 14:19 While Saul was tal
king to the priest, the commotion in the Philistine camp continued to increase. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”"
1 Samuel 13:18 another toward Beth-horon, and the third down the border road overloo
king the Valley of Zeboim facing the wilderness.
1 Samuel 13:14 But now your
kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept the command of the LORD.”"
1 Samuel 13:13 “You have acted foolishly,” Samuel declared. “You have not kept the command that the LORD your God gave you; if you had, the LORD would have established your
kingdom over Israel for all time."
1 Samuel 13:7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul, however, remained at Gilgal, and all his troops were qua
king in fear.
1 Samuel 13:1 Saul was thirty years old when he became
king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
1 Samuel 12:25 But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your
king will be swept away.”"
1 Samuel 12:19 They pleaded with Samuel, “Pray to the LORD your God for your servants so that we will not die! For we have added to all our sins the evil of as
king for a
king.”"
1 Samuel 12:17 Is it not the wheat harvest today? I will call on the LORD to send thunder and rain, so that you will know and see what a great evil you have committed in the sight of the LORD by as
king for a
king.”"
1 Samuel 12:14 If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and if you do not rebel against the command of the LORD, and if both you and the
king who reigns over you follow the LORD your God, then all will be well.
1 Samuel 12:13 Now here is the
king you have chosen, the one you requested. Behold, the LORD has placed a
king over you.
1 Samuel 12:12 But when you saw that Nahash
king of the Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we must have a
king to rule over us’—even though the LORD your God was your
king."
1 Samuel 12:9 But they forgot the LORD their God, and He sold them into the hand of Sisera the commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hands of the Philistines and the
king of Moab, who fought against them.
1 Samuel 12:2 Now here is the
king wal
king before you, and I am old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have walked before you from my youth until this day.
1 Samuel 12:1 Then Samuel said to all Israel, “I have listened to your voice in all that you have said to me, and I have set over you a
king."
1 Samuel 11:15 So all the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as
king in the presence of the LORD. There they sacrificed peace offerings before the LORD, and Saul and all the Israelites rejoiced greatly.
1 Samuel 11:14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the
kingship there.”"
1 Samuel 10:25 Then Samuel explained to the people the rights of
kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
1 Samuel 10:24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” And all the people shouted, “Long live the
king!”"
1 Samuel 10:19 But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a
king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”"
1 Samuel 10:18 and said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians and of all the
kingdoms that oppressed you.’"
1 Samuel 10:16 And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the
kingship."
1 Samuel 10:2 When you leave me today, you will find two men at Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and started worrying about you, as
king, “What should I do about my son?”’"
1 Samuel 8:22 “Listen to their voice,” the LORD said to Samuel. “Appoint a
king for them.” Then Samuel told the men of Israel, “Everyone must go back to his city.”"
1 Samuel 8:20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a
king to judge us, to go out before us, and to fight our battles.”"
1 Samuel 8:19 Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We must have a
king over us."
1 Samuel 8:18 When that day comes, you will beg for relief from the
king you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you on that day.”"
1 Samuel 8:11 He said, “This will be the manner of the
king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them to his own chariots and horses, to run in front of his chariots."
1 Samuel 8:10 So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who were as
king him for a
king.
1 Samuel 8:9 Now listen to them, but you must solemnly warn them and show them the manner of the
king who will reign over them.”"
1 Samuel 8:8 Just as they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsa
king Me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.
1 Samuel 8:7 And the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their
king."
1 Samuel 8:6 But when they said, “Give us a
king to judge us,” their demand was displeasing in the sight of Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD."
1 Samuel 8:5 “Look,” they said, “you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a
king to judge us like all the other nations.”"
1 Samuel 7:11 Then the men of Israel charged out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, stri
king them down all the way to an area below Beth-car.
1 Samuel 2:14 and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or coo
king pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
♫ 1 Samuel 2:10 Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His
king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”"
♫ 1 Samuel 1:9 So after they had finished eating and drin
king in Shiloh, Hannah stood up. Now Eli the priest was sitting on a chair by the doorpost of the temple of the LORD.
Ruth 3:7 After Boaz had finished eating and drin
king and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

Joshua 12:1 Now these are the
kings of the land whom the Israelites struck down and whose lands they took beyond the Jordan to the east, from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the Arabah eastward:
Joshua 11:18 Joshua waged war against all these
kings for a long period of time.

kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded."

king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these
kingdoms.
Joshua 11:5 All these
kings joined forces and encamped at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
Joshua 11:4 So these
kings came out with all their armies, a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore, along with a great number of horses and chariots.
Joshua 11:2 to the
kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the foothills, and in Naphoth-dor to the west;
Joshua 11:1 Now when Jabin
king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab
king of Madon; to the
kings of Shimron and Achshaph;
Joshua 10:42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these
kings and their land in one campaign.
Joshua 10:40 So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their
kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded."
Joshua 10:39 And they captured Debir, its
king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its
king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its
king.
Joshua 10:37 They captured it and put to the sword its
king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
Joshua 10:33 At that time Horam
king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
Joshua 10:30 And the LORD also delivered that city and its
king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the
king of Libnah as he had done to the
king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:28 On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its
king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the

kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.

kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these
kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks."
Joshua 10:23 So they brought the five
kings out of the cave—the
kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon."
Joshua 10:22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five
kings out to me.”"
Joshua 10:17 And Joshua was informed: “The five
kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”"
Joshua 10:16 Now the five
kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
Joshua 10:6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the
kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”"

kings of the Amorites—the
kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it."
Joshua 10:3 Therefore Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham
king of Hebron, Piram
king of Jarmuth, Japhia
king of Lachish, and Debir
king of Eglon, saying,
Joshua 10:1 Now Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to Ai and its
king as he had done to Jericho and its
king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them."
Joshua 9:10 and all that He did to the two
kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan—Sihon
king of Heshbon and Og
king of Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth."
Joshua 9:1 Now when news of this reached all the
kings west of the Jordan—those in the hill country, the foothills, and all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon (the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites)—"
Joshua 8:29 He hung the
king of Ai on a tree until evening, and at sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
Joshua 8:23 But they took the
king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
Joshua 8:14 When the
king of Ai saw the Israelites, he hurried out early in the morning with the men of the city to engage them in battle at an appointed place overloo
king the Arabah. But he did not know that an ambush had been set up against him behind the city.
Joshua 8:2 And you shall do to Ai and its
king as you did to Jericho and its
king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set up an ambush behind the city.”"
Joshua 8:1 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the
king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land."
Joshua 7:5 And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of them, chasing them from the gate as far as the quarries and stri
king them down on the slopes. So the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
Joshua 6:2 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its
king and its mighty men of valor."
Joshua 5:1 Now when all the Amorite
kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite
kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites.
Joshua 2:10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two
kings of the Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.
Joshua 2:7 So the
king’s men set out in pursuit of the spies along the road to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as they had gone out, the gate was shut."
Joshua 2:3 So the
king of Jericho sent to Rahab and said, “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, for they have come to spy out the whole land.”"
Joshua 2:2 And it was reported to the
king of Jericho: “Behold, some men of Israel have come here tonight to spy out the land.”"

kingdom of Og in Bashan."
Deuteronomy 3:3 So the LORD our God also delivered Og
king of Bashan and his whole army into our hands. We struck them down until no survivor was left.
Deuteronomy 3:2 But the LORD said to me, “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, along with all his people and his land. Do to him as you did to Sihon
king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.”"

king of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei.
