1Ch_09_11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;<br> <br>
1Ch_09_12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;<br> < br>
1Ch_09_13 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;<br> < br>
1Ch_09_15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;<br> <br>
1Ch_09_16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_17 And the porters [were], Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum [was] the chief;<br> < br>
1Ch_09_18 Who hitherto [waited] in the king's gate eastward: they [were] porters in the companies of the children of Levi.<br> < br>
1Ch_09_19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, [were] over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, [being] over the host of the LORD, [were] keepers of the entry.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, [and] the LORD [was] with him.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_21 [And] Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah [was] porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_22 All these [which were] chosen to be porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_23 So they and their children [had] the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, [namely], the house of the tabernacle, by wards.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_25 And their brethren, [which were] in their villages, [were] to come after seven days from time to time with them.<br> < br>
1Ch_09_26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in [their] set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge [was] upon them, and the opening thereof every morning [pertained] to them.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_28 And [certain] of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.<br> < br>
1Ch_09_29 [Some] of them also [were] appointed to oversee the vessels and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.<br> < br>
1Ch_09_30 And [some] of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_31 And Mattithiah, [one] of the Levites, who [was] the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_32 And [other] of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, [were] over the showbread, to prepare [it] every sabbath.< br> <br>
1Ch_09_33 And these [are] the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, [who remaining] in the chambers [were] free: for they were employed in [that] work day and night.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_34 These chief fathers of the Levites [were] chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.<br> < br>
1Ch_09_35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name [was] Maachah:<br> <br>
1Ch_09_36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,<br> <br>
1Ch_09_37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.< br> <br>
1Ch_09_38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.<br> < br>
1Ch_09_39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_40 And the son of Jonathan [was] Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_41 And the sons of Micah [were], Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, [and Ahaz].<br> <br>
1Ch_09_42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;<br> <br>
1Ch_09_43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.<br> <br>
1Ch_09_44 And Azel had six sons, whose names [are] these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these [were] the sons of Azel.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_01 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_02 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_03 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_04 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_05 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_06 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_07 And when all the men of Israel that [were] in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. <br> <br>
1Ch_10_08 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_09 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.<br> <br>
1Ch_10_11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,<br> <br>
1Ch_10_12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.< br> <br>
1Ch_10_13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, [even] against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking [counsel] of [one that had] a familiar spirit, to inquire [of it];<br> <br>
1Ch_10_14 And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_01 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.<br> < br>
1Ch_11_02 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou [wast] he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_03 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_04 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which [is] Jebus; where the Jebusites [were], the inhabitants of the land.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_05 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which [is] the city of David.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_06 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_07 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_08 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_09 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts [was] with him.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_10 These also [are] the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, [and] with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_11 And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain [by him] at one time.<br> < br>
1Ch_11_12 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who [was one] of the three mighties.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_14 And they set themselves in the midst of [that] parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved [them] by a great deliverance.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_15 Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_16 And David [was] then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison [was] then at Bethlehem.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that [is] at the gate!< br> <br>
1Ch_11_18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: but David would not drink [of] it, but poured it out to the LORD,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest. <br> <br>
1Ch_11_20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and had a name among the three.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.< br> <br>
1Ch_11_22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand [was] a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_24 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.<br> <br>
1Ch_11_25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.< br> <br>
1Ch_11_26 Also the valiant men of the armies [were], Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,<br> <br>

1Ch_11_39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_42 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites, and thirty with him,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_43 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite, <br> <br>
1Ch_11_44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the Aroerite,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_45 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,<br> <br>
1Ch_11_47 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_01 Now these [are] they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they [were] among the mighty men, helpers of the war.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_02 [They were] armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in [hurling] stones and [shooting] arrows out of a bow, [even] of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_03 The chief [was] Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,<br> <br>
1Ch_12_04 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,<br> <br>
1Ch_12_05 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,<br> <br>
1Ch_12_06 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,<br> <br>
1Ch_12_07 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. <br> <br>
1Ch_12_08 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, [and] men of war [fit] for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces [were like] the faces of lions, and [were] as swift as the roes upon the mountains;<br> <br>
1Ch_12_09 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,< br> <br>
1Ch_12_10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,<br> <br>
1Ch_12_11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,<br> <br>
1Ch_12_12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,<br> < br>
1Ch_12_13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_14 These [were] of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least [was] over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand. <br> <br>
1Ch_12_15 These [are] they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, [both] toward the east, and toward the west.< br> <br>
1Ch_12_16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if [ye be come] to betray me to mine enemies, seeing [there is] no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look [thereon], and rebuke [it].<br> <br>
1Ch_12_18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, [who was] chief of the captains, [and he said], Thine [are we], David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace [be] unto thee, and peace [be] to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_19 And there fell [some] of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to [the jeopardy of] our heads.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that [were] of Manasseh.<br> < br>
1Ch_12_21 And they helped David against the band [of the rovers]: for they [were] all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host. <br> <br>
1Ch_12_22 For at [that] time day by day there came to David to help him, until [it was] a great host, like the host of God.<br> < br>
1Ch_12_23 And these [are] the numbers of the bands [that were] ready armed to the war, [and] came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear [were] six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.<br> < br>
1Ch_12_25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred. <br> <br>
1Ch_12_27 And Jehoiada [was] the leader of the Aaronites, and with him [were] three thousand and seven hundred;<br> <br>
1Ch_12_28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.<br> < br>
1Ch_12_32 And of the children of Issachar, [which were men] that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them [were] two hundred; and all their brethren [were] at their commandment.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: [they were] not of double heart.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.< br> <br>
1Ch_12_38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel [were] of one heart to make David king.<br> < br>
1Ch_12_39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.<br> <br>
1Ch_12_40 Moreover they that were nigh them, [even] unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, [and] meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_01 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, [and] with every leader.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_02 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [which are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:< br> <br>
1Ch_13_03 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_04 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_05 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_06 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kirjathjearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the cherubims, whose name is called [on it].<br> <br>
1Ch_13_07 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.<br> < br>
1Ch_13_08 And David and all Israel played before God with all [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_09 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.<br> <br>
1Ch_13_11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.< br> <br>
1Ch_13_12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God [home] to me?<br> <br>
1Ch_13_13 So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. <br> <br>
1Ch_13_14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_01 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.< br> <br>
1Ch_14_02 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_03 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_04 Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,<br> < br>
1Ch_14_05 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,<br> < br>
1Ch_14_06 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,<br> <br>
1Ch_14_07 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_08 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard [of it], and went out against them.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_09 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_10 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.< br> <br>
1Ch_14_11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_14 Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.<br> <br>
1Ch_14_15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, [that] then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines. <br> <br>
1Ch_14_16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.<br> < br>
1Ch_14_17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_01 And [David] made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_02 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_03 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it. <br> <br>
1Ch_15_04 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:<br> <br>
1Ch_15_05 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:<br> <br>
1Ch_15_06 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:<br> <br>
1Ch_15_07 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:<br> <br>
1Ch_15_08 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:<br> <br>
1Ch_15_09 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:<br> <br>
1Ch_15_10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,<br> <br>
1Ch_15_12 And said unto them, Ye [are] the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, [both] ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto [the place that] I have prepared for it.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_13 For because ye [did it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order. <br> <br>
1Ch_15_14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_15 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.< br> <br>
1Ch_15_17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;<br> <br>
1Ch_15_18 And with them their brethren of the second [degree], Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed] to sound with cymbals of brass;<br> <br>
1Ch_15_20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth; <br> <br>
1Ch_15_21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.< br> <br>
1Ch_15_22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song: he instructed about the song, because he [was] skilful.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] doorkeepers for the ark.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah [were] doorkeepers for the ark.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_27 And David [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also [had] upon him an ephod of linen.<br> <br>
1Ch_15_28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.<br> < br>
1Ch_15_29 And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_01 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_02 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_03 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon [of wine].<br> <br>
1Ch_16_04 And he appointed [certain] of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:<br> <br>
1Ch_16_05 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_06 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_07 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.<br> < br>
1Ch_16_08 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_09 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_14 He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_16 [Even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant,<br> <br>
1Ch_16_18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. <br> <br>
1Ch_16_20 And [when] they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,<br> <br>
1Ch_16_22 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_25 For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also [is] to be feared above all gods.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_26 For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_27 Glory and honour [are] in his presence; strength and gladness [are] in his place.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_29 Give unto the LORD the glory [due] unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that [is] therein.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.<br> < br>
1Ch_16_34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, [and] glory in thy praise.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_36 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:<br> <br>
1Ch_16_38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be] porters:<br> < br>
1Ch_16_39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was] at Gibeon, <br> <br>
1Ch_16_40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and [to do] according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever;<br> <br>
1Ch_16_42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun [were] porters.<br> <br>
1Ch_16_43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_01 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD [remaineth] under curtains.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_02 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that [is] in thine heart; for God [is] with thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_03 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,<br> <br>
1Ch_17_04 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:<br> <br>
1Ch_17_05 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].<br> <br>
1Ch_17_06 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?<br> <br>
1Ch_17_07 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, [even] from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel: <br> <br>
1Ch_17_08 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that [are] in the earth.< br> <br>
1Ch_17_09 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,<br> <br>
1Ch_17_10 And since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. <br> <br>
1Ch_17_12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him] that was before thee:<br> <br>
1Ch_17_14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.<br> < br>
1Ch_17_15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who [am] I, O LORD God, and what [is] mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?<br> <br>
1Ch_17_17 And [yet] this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast [also] spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_18 What can David [speak] more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_19 O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all [these] great things.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_20 O LORD, [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. <br> <br>
1Ch_17_21 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?<br> <br>
1Ch_17_22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God of Israel, [even] a God to Israel: and [let] the house of David thy servant [be] established before thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found [in his heart] to pray before thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_17_26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:<br> <br>
1Ch_17_27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and [it shall be] blessed for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_01 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_02 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_03 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.<br> < br>
1Ch_18_04 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hocked all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them an hundred chariots.<br> < br>
1Ch_18_05 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.< br> <br>
1Ch_18_06 Then David put [garrisons] in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_07 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_08 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_09 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;<br> <br>
1Ch_18_10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; [for Hadarezer had war with Tou;] and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.<br> < br>
1Ch_18_11 Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.<br> <br>
1Ch_18_16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;<br> <br>
1Ch_18_17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were] chief about the king.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_01 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_02 And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.< br> <br>
1Ch_19_03 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?<br> <br>
1Ch_19_04 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_05 Then there went [certain], and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then] return.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_06 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.<br> < br>
1Ch_19_07 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_08 And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_09 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come [were] by themselves in the field.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array against the children of Ammon.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do [that which is] good in his sight.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_14 So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that [were] beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [men which fought in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.<br> <br>
1Ch_19_19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more. <br> <br>
1Ch_20_01 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.<br> <br>
1Ch_20_02 And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were] precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.<br> <br>
1Ch_20_03 And he brought out the people that [were] in it, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ch_20_04 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, [that was] of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.< br> <br>
1Ch_20_05 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff [was] like a weaver's beam.<br> <br>
1Ch_20_06 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant. <br> <br>
1Ch_20_07 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.<br> <br>
1Ch_20_08 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_01 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_02 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know [it].<br> <br>
1Ch_21_03 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they [be]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?<br> <br>
1Ch_21_04 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_05 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all [they of] Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah [was] four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_06 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_07 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_08 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_09 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,< br> <br>
1Ch_21_10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three [things]: choose thee one of them, that I may do [it] unto thee. <br> <br>
1Ch_21_11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee<br> <br>
1Ch_21_12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh [thee]; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great [are] his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of Israel, who were] clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_17 And David said unto God, [Is it] not I [that] commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but [as for] these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.<br> < br>
1Ch_21_21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with [his] face to the ground.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of [this] threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_23 And Ornan said unto David, Take [it] to thee, and let my lord the king do [that which is] good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the oxen [also] for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.<br> < br>
1Ch_21_24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take [that] which [is] thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.< br> <br>
1Ch_21_27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. <br> <br>
1Ch_21_29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, [were] at that season in the high place at Gibeon.<br> <br>
1Ch_21_30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.<br> < br>
1Ch_22_01 Then David said, This [is] the house of the LORD God, and this [is] the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.<br> < br>
1Ch_22_02 And David commanded to gather together the strangers that [were] in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_03 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;<br> <br>
1Ch_22_04 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_05 And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and the house [that is] to be builded for the LORD [must be] exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will [therefore] now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_06 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_07 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:<br> < br>
1Ch_22_08 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_09 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I [will be] his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.< br> <br>
1Ch_22_14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_15 Moreover [there are] workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, [there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],<br> <br>
1Ch_22_18 [Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he [not] given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.<br> <br>
1Ch_22_19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_01 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_02 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_03 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_04 Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand [were] officers and judges:<br> <br>
1Ch_23_05 Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise [therewith].<br> <br>
1Ch_23_06 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_07 Of the Gershonites [were], Laadan, and Shimei.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_08 The sons of Laadan; the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_09 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.<br> < br>
1Ch_23_10 And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to [their] father's house.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_14 Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_15 The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.< br> <br>
1Ch_23_16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel [was] the chief.< br> <br>
1Ch_23_17 And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.< br> <br>
1Ch_23_18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. <br> <br>
1Ch_23_24 These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:<br> < br>
1Ch_23_26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.<br> <br>
1Ch_23_27 For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered from twenty years old and above:<br> <br>
1Ch_23_28 Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;<br> <br>
1Ch_23_29 Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which is baked in] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;<br> <br>
1Ch_23_30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;<br> <br>
1Ch_23_31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:<br> < br>
1Ch_23_32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy [place], and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD. <br> <br>
1Ch_24_01 Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_02 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office. <br> <br>
1Ch_24_03 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_04 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar [there were] sixteen chief men of the house of [their] fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_05 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.<br> < br>
1Ch_24_06 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, [one] of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and [before] the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and [one] taken for Ithamar.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_07 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,<br> <br>
1Ch_24_08 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,<br> < br>
1Ch_24_09 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,<br> <br>
1Ch_24_10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,<br> <br>
1Ch_24_11 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,<br> <br>

1Ch_24_18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_19 These [were] the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.<br> < br>
1Ch_24_20 And the rest of the sons of Levi [were these]: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.<br> < br>
1Ch_24_21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first [was] Isshiah.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_23 And the sons [of Hebron]; Jeriah [the first], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_24 [Of] the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_25 The brother of Michah [was] Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_26 The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.<br> <br>
1Ch_24_28 Of Mahli [came] Eleazar, who had no sons.<br> < br>
1Ch_24_29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish [was] Jerahmeel.< br> <br>
1Ch_24_30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These [were] the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.< br> <br>
1Ch_24_31 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.<br> < br>
1Ch_25_01 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:<br> <br>
1Ch_25_02 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.<br> <br>
1Ch_25_03 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.<br> <br>

1Ch_25_05 All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.<br> <br>
1Ch_25_06 All these [were] under the hands of their father for song [in] the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.<br> <br>
1Ch_25_07 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, [even] all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.<br> <br>
1Ch_25_08 And they cast lots, ward against [ward], as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.<br> <br>
1Ch_25_09 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons [were] twelve:<br> <br>

1Ch_26_09 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.<br> <br>
1Ch_26_10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the chief, [for [though] he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;]<br> <br>
1Ch_26_11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah [were] thirteen.<br> < br>
1Ch_26_12 Among these [were] the divisions of the porters, [even] among the chief men, [having] wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_26_13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.<br> < br>
1Ch_26_14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.<br> <br>

1Ch_26_28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated; [and] whosoever had dedicated [any thing, it was] under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.<br> <br>

1Ch_27_14 The eleventh [captain] for the eleventh month [was] Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.<br> <br>
1Ch_27_15 The twelfth [captain] for the twelfth month [was] Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.<br> <br>
1Ch_27_16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites [was] Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_17 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_18 Of Judah, Elihu, [one] of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_19 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_20 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah:<br> < br>
1Ch_27_21 Of the half [tribe] of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_22 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These [were] the princes of the tribes of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_27_23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.<br> <br>
1Ch_27_24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.<br> <br>
1Ch_27_25 And over the king's treasures [was] Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, [was] Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_26 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground [was] Ezri the son of Chelub:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_27 And over the vineyards [was] Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars [was] Zabdi the Shiphmite:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_28 And over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that [were] in the low plains [was] Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil [was] Joash:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_29 And over the herds that fed in Sharon [was] Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds [that were] in the valleys [was] Shaphat the son of Adlai:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_30 Over the camels also [was] Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses [was] Jehdeiah the Meronothite:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_31 And over the flocks [was] Jaziz the Hagerite. All these [were] the rulers of the substance which [was] king David's.<br> < br>
1Ch_27_32 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni [was] with the king's sons:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_33 And Ahithophel [was] the king's counsellor: and Hushai the Archite [was] the king's companion:<br> <br>
1Ch_27_34 And after Ahithophel [was] Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army [was] Joab.<br> < br>
1Ch_28_01 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_02 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:<br> <br>
1Ch_28_03 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast shed blood.< br> <br>
1Ch_28_04 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make [me] king over all Israel:<br> <br>
1Ch_28_05 And of all my sons, [for the LORD hath given me many sons,] he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_06 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son, and I will be his father.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_07 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.< br> <br>
1Ch_28_08 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_09 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].<br> <br>
1Ch_28_11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,<br> <br>
1Ch_28_12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:<br> <br>
1Ch_28_13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_14 [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:<br> <br>
1Ch_28_15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_16 And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of showbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver: <br> <br>
1Ch_28_17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for every basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin of silver:<br> <br>
1Ch_28_18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_19 All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.< br> <br>
1Ch_28_20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ch_28_21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at thy commandment.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_01 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, [is yet] young and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace [is] not for man, but for the LORD God.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_02 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and the brass for [things] of brass, the iron for [things] of iron, and wood for [things] of wood; onyx stones, and [stones] to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_03 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, [which] I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,<br> <br>
1Ch_29_04 [Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses [withal]:<br> <br>
1Ch_29_05 The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [then] is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?<br> <br>
1Ch_29_06 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,<br> <br>
1Ch_29_07 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_08 And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave [them] to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_09 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed [be] thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_12 Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto all.<br> < br>
1Ch_29_13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_14 But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come] of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_15 For we [are] strangers before thee, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] none abiding.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name [cometh] of thine hand, and [is] all thine own.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_18 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:<br> < br>
1Ch_29_19 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all [these things], and to build the palace, [for] the which I have made provision. <br> <br>
1Ch_29_20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. <br> <br>
1Ch_29_21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, [even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:< br> <br>
1Ch_29_22 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed [him] unto the LORD [to be] the chief governor, and Zadok [to be] priest.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.< br> <br>
1Ch_29_24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king. <br> <br>
1Ch_29_25 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.< br> <br>
1Ch_29_27 And the time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three [years] reigned he in Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ch_29_29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,<br> <br>
1Ch_29_30 With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries. <br> <br>
1Co_01_01 Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,<br> <br>
1Co_01_02 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:<br> <br>
1Co_01_03 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_01_04 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;<br> <br>
1Co_01_05 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;<br> <br>
1Co_01_06 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: <br> <br>
1Co_01_07 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:<br> <br>
1Co_01_08 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_01_09 God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_01_10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.<br> <br>
1Co_01_11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.<br> <br>
1Co_01_12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.<br> < br>
1Co_01_13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?<br> <br>
1Co_01_14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;<br> <br>
1Co_01_15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.<br> <br>
1Co_01_16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.<br> <br>
1Co_01_17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.<br> <br>
1Co_01_18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.<br> <br>
1Co_01_19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.<br> <br>
1Co_01_20 Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?<br> <br>
1Co_01_21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.<br> <br>
1Co_01_22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:<br> <br>
1Co_01_23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;<br> <br>
1Co_01_24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.<br> <br>
1Co_01_25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.<br> <br>
1Co_01_26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]: <br> <br>
1Co_01_27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;<br> <br>
1Co_01_28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:<br> <br>
1Co_01_29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.<br> <br>
1Co_01_30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:< br> <br>
1Co_01_31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_02_01 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. <br> <br>
1Co_02_02 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.<br> <br>
1Co_02_03 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.<br> <br>
1Co_02_04 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:< br> <br>
1Co_02_05 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.<br> <br>
1Co_02_06 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:<br> <br>
1Co_02_07 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:< br> <br>
1Co_02_08 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.<br> <br>
1Co_02_09 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.<br> <br>
1Co_02_10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.<br> <br>
1Co_02_11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.<br> <br>
1Co_02_12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.<br> <br>
1Co_02_13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.<br> <br>
1Co_02_14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.<br> <br>
1Co_02_15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.<br> <br>
1Co_02_16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_03_01 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_03_02 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.< br> <br>
1Co_03_03 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?< br> <br>
1Co_03_04 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?<br> <br>
1Co_03_05 Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?<br> < br>
1Co_03_06 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.<br> <br>
1Co_03_07 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.<br> <br>
1Co_03_08 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.< br> <br>
1Co_03_09 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building.<br> <br>
1Co_03_10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.<br> <br>
1Co_03_11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_03_12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;<br> <br>
1Co_03_13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.<br> <br>
1Co_03_14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.<br> <br>
1Co_03_15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.<br> <br>
1Co_03_16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?<br> <br>
1Co_03_17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.<br> <br>
1Co_03_18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.<br> <br>
1Co_03_19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.<br> <br>
1Co_03_20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.<br> <br>
1Co_03_21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;<br> <br>
1Co_03_22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;< br> <br>
1Co_03_23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.<br> <br>
1Co_04_01 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.<br> <br>
1Co_04_02 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.<br> <br>
1Co_04_03 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.< br> <br>
1Co_04_04 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_04_05 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.<br> <br>
1Co_04_06 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and [to] Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think [of men] above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.<br> <br>
1Co_04_07 For who maketh thee to differ [from another]? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive [it], why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received [it]?<br> <br>
1Co_04_08 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.<br> <br>
1Co_04_09 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.<br> <br>
1Co_04_10 We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye [are] wise in Christ; we [are] weak, but ye [are] strong; ye [are] honourable, but we [are] despised.<br> <br>
1Co_04_11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;< br> <br>
1Co_04_12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:<br> <br>
1Co_04_13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day.<br> <br>
1Co_04_14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you].<br> <br>
1Co_04_15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.<br> <br>
1Co_04_16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.< br> <br>
1Co_04_17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.<br> <br>
1Co_04_18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.<br> <br>
1Co_04_19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.< br> <br>
1Co_04_20 For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in power. <br> <br>
1Co_04_21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and [in] the spirit of meekness?<br> <br>
1Co_05_01 It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.<br> <br>
1Co_05_02 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.<br> <br>
1Co_05_03 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him that hath so done this deed,<br> <br>
1Co_05_04 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, <br> <br>
1Co_05_05 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. <br> <br>
1Co_05_06 Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?<br> <br>
1Co_05_07 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:<br> <br>
1Co_05_08 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.<br> <br>
1Co_05_09 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:<br> <br>
1Co_05_10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.<br> <br>
1Co_05_11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.<br> <br>
1Co_05_12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?<br> <br>
1Co_05_13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.<br> <br>
1Co_06_01 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?<br> <br>
1Co_06_02 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?<br> <br>
1Co_06_03 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?<br> <br>
1Co_06_04 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.<br> <br>
1Co_06_05 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?<br> <br>
1Co_06_06 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.<br> <br>
1Co_06_07 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded?<br> < br>
1Co_06_08 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren. <br> <br>
1Co_06_09 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,< br> <br>
1Co_06_10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.<br> <br>
1Co_06_11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.<br> <br>
1Co_06_12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.<br> <br>
1Co_06_13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.<br> <br>
1Co_06_14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.<br> <br>
1Co_06_15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of an harlot? God forbid.<br> <br>
1Co_06_16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.<br> <br>
1Co_06_17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.< br> <br>
1Co_06_18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. <br> <br>
1Co_06_19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?<br> <br>
1Co_06_20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.<br> <br>
1Co_07_01 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.<br> <br>
1Co_07_02 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.<br> < br>
1Co_07_03 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.<br> <br>
1Co_07_04 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.<br> <br>
1Co_07_05 Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.< br> <br>
1Co_07_06 But I speak this by permission, [and] not of commandment.<br> <br>
1Co_07_07 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.<br> <br>
1Co_07_08 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.<br> <br>
1Co_07_09 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.<br> <br>
1Co_07_10 And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:<br> <br>
1Co_07_11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife. <br> <br>
1Co_07_12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.<br> <br>
1Co_07_13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.<br> <br>
1Co_07_14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.<br> <br>
1Co_07_15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us to peace.<br> <br>
1Co_07_16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife?<br> <br>
1Co_07_17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. <br> <br>
1Co_07_18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. <br> <br>
1Co_07_19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.<br> <br>
1Co_07_20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.<br> <br>
1Co_07_21 Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather.<br> <br>
1Co_07_22 For he that is called in the Lord, [being] a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, [being] free, is Christ's servant.<br> <br>
1Co_07_23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.<br> <br>
1Co_07_24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.<br> <br>
1Co_07_25 Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.<br> <br>
1Co_07_26 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.<br> < br>
1Co_07_27 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.<br> <br>
1Co_07_28 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.<br> <br>
1Co_07_29 But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;< br> <br>
1Co_07_30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;<br> <br>
1Co_07_31 And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]: for the fashion of this world passeth away.<br> <br>
1Co_07_32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:<br> <br>
1Co_07_33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please [his] wife.<br> <br>
1Co_07_34 There is difference [also] between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please [her] husband.<br> <br>
1Co_07_35 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.<br> <br>
1Co_07_36 But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [her] age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.<br> <br>
1Co_07_37 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.<br> <br>
1Co_07_38 So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.<br> <br>
1Co_07_39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_07_40 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.<br> <br>
1Co_08_01 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.< br> <br>
1Co_08_02 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.<br> <br>
1Co_08_03 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.< br> <br>
1Co_08_04 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one.<br> <br>
1Co_08_05 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, [as there be gods many, and lords many,]<br> < br>
1Co_08_06 But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him.<br> <br>
1Co_08_07 Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.<br> <br>
1Co_08_08 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.<br> <br>
1Co_08_09 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.<br> <br>
1Co_08_10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;<br> <br>
1Co_08_11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?<br> <br>
1Co_08_12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_08_13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. <br> <br>
1Co_09_01 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?<br> <br>
1Co_09_02 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.<br> < br>
1Co_09_03 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,< br> <br>
1Co_09_04 Have we not power to eat and to drink?<br> < br>
1Co_09_05 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?< br> <br>
1Co_09_06 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?<br> <br>
1Co_09_07 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?<br> <br>
1Co_09_08 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?<br> <br>
1Co_09_09 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?<br> <br>
1Co_09_10 Or saith he [it] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. <br> <br>
1Co_09_11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, [is it] a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?<br> <br>
1Co_09_12 If others be partakers of [this] power over you, [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_09_13 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live [of the things] of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?<br> <br>
1Co_09_14 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.<br> <br>
1Co_09_15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.< br> <br>
1Co_09_16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!<br> <br>
1Co_09_17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed unto me. <br> <br>
1Co_09_18 What is my reward then? [Verily] that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.<br> <br>
1Co_09_19 For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.<br> <br>
1Co_09_20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;<br> <br>
1Co_09_21 To them that are without law, as without law, [being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,] that I might gain them that are without law.<br> <br>
1Co_09_22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save some.<br> <br>
1Co_09_23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with [you].<br> <br>
1Co_09_24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.<br> <br>
1Co_09_25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.<br> <br>
1Co_09_26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:<br> <br>
1Co_09_27 But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.<br> <br>
1Co_10_01 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;<br> <br>
1Co_10_02 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;<br> <br>
1Co_10_03 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;<br> < br>
1Co_10_04 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. <br> <br>
1Co_10_05 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.<br> <br>
1Co_10_06 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.<br> < br>
1Co_10_07 Neither be ye idolaters, as [were] some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.< br> <br>
1Co_10_08 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.<br> < br>
1Co_10_09 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.<br> <br>
1Co_10_10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.<br> <br>
1Co_10_11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.<br> <br>
1Co_10_12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.<br> <br>
1Co_10_13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].<br> <br>
1Co_10_14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.< br> <br>
1Co_10_15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.<br> <br>
1Co_10_16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?<br> <br>
1Co_10_17 For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.<br> <br>
1Co_10_18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?<br> <br>
1Co_10_19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?<br> <br>
1Co_10_20 But I [say], that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.<br> <br>
1Co_10_21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.<br> <br>
1Co_10_22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?<br> <br>
1Co_10_23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.< br> <br>
1Co_10_24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's [wealth].<br> <br>
1Co_10_25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that] eat, asking no question for conscience sake:<br> <br>
1Co_10_26 For the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. <br> <br>
1Co_10_27 If any of them that believe not bid you [to a feast], and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.<br> <br>
1Co_10_28 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: <br> <br>
1Co_10_29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another [man's] conscience?<br> < br>
1Co_10_30 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?<br> <br>
1Co_10_31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.<br> <br>
1Co_10_32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:<br> <br>
1Co_10_33 Even as I please all [men] in all [things], not seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved.< br> <br>
1Co_11_01 Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ. <br> <br>
1Co_11_02 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you.<br> <br>
1Co_11_03 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ [is] God.<br> <br>
1Co_11_04 Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered, dishonoureth his head.<br> <br>
1Co_11_05 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.<br> <br>
1Co_11_06 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. <br> <br>
1Co_11_07 For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.<br> <br>
1Co_11_08 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.<br> <br>
1Co_11_09 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.<br> <br>
1Co_11_10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.<br> <br>
1Co_11_11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_11_12 For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the woman; but all things of God.<br> <br>
1Co_11_13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?<br> <br>
1Co_11_14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?<br> <br>
1Co_11_15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering.<br> <br>
1Co_11_16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.<br> <br>
1Co_11_17 Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise [you] not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.<br> <br>
1Co_11_18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.< br> <br>
1Co_11_19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.<br> <br>
1Co_11_20 When ye come together therefore into one place, [this] is not to eat the Lord's supper.<br> <br>
1Co_11_21 For in eating every one taketh before [other] his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.<br> <br>
1Co_11_22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not.<br> < br>
1Co_11_23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was betrayed took bread:<br> <br>
1Co_11_24 And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.<br> <br>
1Co_11_25 After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.<br> <br>
1Co_11_26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.<br> <br>
1Co_11_27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_11_28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.<br> <br>
1Co_11_29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.<br> <br>
1Co_11_30 For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.<br> <br>
1Co_11_31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.<br> <br>
1Co_11_32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.<br> <br>
1Co_11_33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.<br> <br>
1Co_11_34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.<br> <br>
1Co_12_01 Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.<br> <br>
1Co_12_02 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.<br> <br>
1Co_12_03 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.<br> <br>
1Co_12_04 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. <br> <br>
1Co_12_05 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_12_06 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.<br> <br>
1Co_12_07 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.<br> <br>
1Co_12_08 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;<br> <br>
1Co_12_09 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;<br> <br>
1Co_12_10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:<br> <br>
1Co_12_11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.<br> <br>
1Co_12_12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_12_13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.<br> <br>
1Co_12_14 For the body is not one member, but many.<br> < br>
1Co_12_15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?<br> <br>
1Co_12_16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?<br> <br>
1Co_12_17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?<br> <br>
1Co_12_18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.<br> <br>
1Co_12_19 And if they were all one member, where [were] the body?<br> <br>
1Co_12_20 But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.< br> <br>
1Co_12_21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.<br> < br>
1Co_12_22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:<br> <br>
1Co_12_23 And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.<br> <br>
1Co_12_24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked:<br> <br>
1Co_12_25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.<br> <br>
1Co_12_26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.< br> <br>
1Co_12_27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.<br> <br>
1Co_12_28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.<br> <br>
1Co_12_29 [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?<br> <br>
1Co_12_30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?<br> <br>
1Co_12_31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way.<br> <br>
1Co_13_01 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.<br> <br>
1Co_13_02 And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.< br> <br>
1Co_13_03 And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor], and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.<br> <br>
1Co_13_04 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,<br> <br>
1Co_13_05 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;<br> <br>
1Co_13_06 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; <br> <br>
1Co_13_07 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.<br> <br>
1Co_13_08 Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.<br> <br>
1Co_13_09 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.<br> <br>
1Co_13_10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.<br> <br>
1Co_13_11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.<br> <br>
1Co_13_12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. <br> <br>
1Co_13_13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.<br> <br>
1Co_14_01 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.<br> <br>
1Co_14_02 For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.<br> <br>
1Co_14_03 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to] edification, and exhortation, and comfort.<br> <br>
1Co_14_04 He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.<br> <br>
1Co_14_05 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater [is] he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. <br> <br>
1Co_14_06 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?<br> <br>
1Co_14_07 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?<br> <br>
1Co_14_08 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?<br> <br>
1Co_14_09 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.<br> <br>
1Co_14_10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them [is] without signification.<br> <br>
1Co_14_11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh [shall be] a barbarian unto me.<br> <br>
1Co_14_12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.<br> <br>
1Co_14_13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may interpret.<br> <br>
1Co_14_14 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.<br> <br>
1Co_14_15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.<br> <br>
1Co_14_16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?<br> <br>
1Co_14_17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.<br> <br>
1Co_14_18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: <br> <br>
1Co_14_19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that [by my voice] I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an [unknown] tongue.<br> <br>
1Co_14_20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.<br> <br>
1Co_14_21 In the law it is written, With [men of] other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_14_22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying [serveth] not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.<br> <br>
1Co_14_23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those that are] unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?<br> <br>
1Co_14_24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or [one] unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:<br> <br>
1Co_14_25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on [his] face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.<br> <br>
1Co_14_26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.<br> <br>
1Co_14_27 If any man speak in an [unknown] tongue, [let it be] by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one interpret.<br> <br>
1Co_14_28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.<br> <br>
1Co_14_29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.<br> <br>
1Co_14_30 If [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.<br> <br>
1Co_14_31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.<br> <br>
1Co_14_32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.<br> <br>
1Co_14_33 For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.<br> <br>
1Co_14_34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.<br> <br>
1Co_14_35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.< br> <br>
1Co_14_36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?<br> <br>
1Co_14_37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_14_38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.< br> <br>
1Co_14_39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.<br> <br>
1Co_14_40 Let all things be done decently and in order.<br> <br>
1Co_15_01 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;< br> <br>
1Co_15_02 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.<br> <br>
1Co_15_03 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; <br> <br>
1Co_15_04 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:<br> <br>
1Co_15_05 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:< br> <br>
1Co_15_06 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.<br> <br>
1Co_15_07 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.<br> <br>
1Co_15_08 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.<br> <br>
1Co_15_09 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.<br> <br>
1Co_15_10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.<br> <br>
1Co_15_11 Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.<br> <br>
1Co_15_12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?<br> <br>
1Co_15_13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:<br> <br>
1Co_15_14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.<br> <br>
1Co_15_15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.<br> <br>
1Co_15_16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:< br> <br>
1Co_15_17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain; ye are yet in your sins.<br> <br>
1Co_15_18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.<br> <br>
1Co_15_19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.<br> <br>
1Co_15_20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.<br> <br>
1Co_15_21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.<br> <br>
1Co_15_22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.<br> <br>
1Co_15_23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.<br> <br>
1Co_15_24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.<br> <br>
1Co_15_25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.<br> <br>
1Co_15_26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.< br> <br>
1Co_15_27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.<br> <br>
1Co_15_28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.<br> <br>
1Co_15_29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?< br> <br>
1Co_15_30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?<br> < br>
1Co_15_31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.<br> <br>
1Co_15_32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.<br> <br>
1Co_15_33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.<br> <br>
1Co_15_34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.<br> <br>
1Co_15_35 But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?<br> <br>
1Co_15_36 [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:<br> <br>
1Co_15_37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:<br> <br>
1Co_15_38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.<br> <br>
1Co_15_39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.<br> <br>
1Co_15_40 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another.<br> <br>
1Co_15_41 [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.<br> <br>
1Co_15_42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:<br> <br>
1Co_15_43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:<br> <br>
1Co_15_44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.<br> <br>
1Co_15_45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.<br> < br>
1Co_15_46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.<br> <br>
1Co_15_47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.<br> <br>
1Co_15_48 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly. <br> <br>
1Co_15_49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.<br> <br>
1Co_15_50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. <br> <br>
1Co_15_51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,<br> <br>
1Co_15_52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.<br> <br>
1Co_15_53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.<br> <br>
1Co_15_54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.< br> <br>
1Co_15_55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory?<br> <br>
1Co_15_56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law.<br> <br>
1Co_15_57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.<br> <br>
1Co_15_58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.<br> <br>
1Co_16_01 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.<br> <br>
1Co_16_02 Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.<br> <br>
1Co_16_03 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.< br> <br>
1Co_16_04 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me. <br> <br>
1Co_16_05 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.<br> <br>
1Co_16_06 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.<br> < br>
1Co_16_07 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.<br> <br>
1Co_16_08 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.<br> <br>
1Co_16_09 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and [there are] many adversaries.<br> <br>
1Co_16_10 Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also [do].< br> <br>
1Co_16_11 Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren. <br> <br>
1Co_16_12 As touching [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.< br> <br>
1Co_16_13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.<br> <br>
1Co_16_14 Let all your things be done with charity.<br> < br>
1Co_16_15 I beseech you, brethren, [ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,]<br> <br>
1Co_16_16 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth.<br> <br>
1Co_16_17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.< br> <br>
1Co_16_18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.<br> <br>
1Co_16_19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.< br> <br>
1Co_16_20 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.<br> <br>
1Co_16_21 The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand.< br> <br>
1Co_16_22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.<br> <br>
1Co_16_23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.< br> <br>
1Co_16_24 My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.< br> <br>
1Jo_01_01 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;<br> <br>
1Jo_01_02 [For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;]<br> <br>
1Jo_01_03 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.<br> <br>
1Jo_01_04 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.<br> <br>
1Jo_01_05 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. <br> <br>
1Jo_01_06 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:<br> <br>
1Jo_01_07 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.<br> <br>
1Jo_01_08 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.<br> <br>
1Jo_01_09 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.< br> <br>
1Jo_01_10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_01 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:<br> <br>
1Jo_02_02 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_03 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_04 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_05 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_06 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_07 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_08 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_09 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him [that is] from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. <br> <br>
1Jo_02_16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [@but@ he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].<br> < br>
1Jo_02_24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.< br> <br>
1Jo_02_25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even] eternal life.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_26 These [things] have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.<br> <br>
1Jo_02_29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_01 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_02 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_03 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_04 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_05 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_06 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_07 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_08 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_09 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.< br> <br>
1Jo_03_10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.< br> <br>
1Jo_03_14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_16 Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?<br> <br>
1Jo_03_18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we confidence toward God.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. <br> <br>
1Jo_03_23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.<br> <br>
1Jo_03_24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_01 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_02 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:<br> < br>
1Jo_04_03 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_04 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.< br> <br>
1Jo_04_05 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_06 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_07 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.<br> < br>
1Jo_04_08 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.< br> <br>
1Jo_04_09 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. <br> <br>
1Jo_04_18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.<br> <br>
1Jo_04_19 We love him, because he first loved us.<br> < br>
1Jo_04_20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?<br> <br>
1Jo_04_21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_01 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_02 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_03 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_04 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_05 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?<br> <br>
1Jo_05_06 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_07 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_08 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.< br> <br>
1Jo_05_09 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. <br> <br>
1Jo_05_10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:<br> < br>
1Jo_05_15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.<br> < br>
1Jo_05_16 If any man see his brother sin a sin [which is] not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_19 [And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.<br> <br>
1Jo_05_21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.< br> <br>
1Ki_01_01 Now king David was old [and] stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_02 Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_03 So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_04 And the damsel [was] very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_05 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_06 And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also [was a] very goodly [man]; and [his mother] bare him after Absalom.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_07 And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped [him].<br> <br>
1Ki_01_08 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which [belonged] to David, were not with Adonijah.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_09 And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which [is] by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:<br> < br>
1Ki_01_10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_11 Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth [it] not?<br> <br>
1Ki_01_12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_13 Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?<br> <br>
1Ki_01_14 Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_15 And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_16 And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?<br> <br>
1Ki_01_17 And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, [saying], Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest [it] not:<br> <br>
1Ki_01_19 And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_21 Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_23 And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?<br> <br>
1Ki_01_25 For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.<br> < br>
1Ki_01_26 But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not showed [it] unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?<br> <br>
1Ki_01_28 Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_29 And the king sware, and said, [As] the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,<br> <br>
1Ki_01_30 Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_31 Then Bathsheba bowed with [her] face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. <br> <br>
1Ki_01_32 And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_33 The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:<br> <br>
1Ki_01_34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_35 Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so [too].<br> < br>
1Ki_01_37 As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_39 And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_41 And Adonijah and all the guests that [were] with him heard [it] as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore [is this] noise of the city being in an uproar?<br> <br>
1Ki_01_42 And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou [art] a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_43 And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_44 And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule: <br> <br>
1Ki_01_45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This [is] the noise that ye have heard.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_46 And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom. <br> <br>
1Ki_01_47 And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_48 And also thus said the king, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing [it].<br> <br>
1Ki_01_49 And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_50 And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he will not slay his servant with the sword.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_52 And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.<br> <br>
1Ki_01_53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_01 Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_02_02 I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man;<br> <br>
1Ki_02_03 And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:< br> <br>
1Ki_02_04 That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee [said he] a man on the throne of Israel.<br> < br>
1Ki_02_05 Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, [and] what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that [was] about his loins, and in his shoes that [were] on his feet.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_06 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_07 But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_08 And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_09 Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou [art] a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_11 And the days that David reigned over Israel [were] forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_12 Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and [that] all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, [for he will not say thee nay,] that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_19 Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; [I pray thee], say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_23 Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_24 Now therefore, [as] the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day. <br> <br>
1Ki_02_25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_26 And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou [art] worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_28 Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.< br> <br>
1Ki_02_29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, [he is] by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.< br> <br>
1Ki_02_30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_31 And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.<br> < br>
1Ki_02_32 And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing [thereof, to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness. <br> <br>
1Ki_02_35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_37 For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_38 And Shimei said unto the king, The saying [is] good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants [be] in Gath.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word [that] I have heard [is] good.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?<br> <br>
1Ki_02_44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head; <br> <br>
1Ki_02_45 And king Solomon [shall be] blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.<br> <br>
1Ki_02_46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_01 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_02 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.< br> <br>
1Ki_03_03 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.< br> <br>
1Ki_03_04 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that [was] the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_05 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_06 And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_07 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I [am but] a little child: I know not [how] to go out or come in.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_08 And thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_09 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?<br> <br>
1Ki_03_10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;<br> <br>
1Ki_03_12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.< br> <br>
1Ki_03_13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, [it was] a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_16 Then came there two women, [that were] harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. <br> <br>
1Ki_03_18 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we [were] together; [there was] no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.< br> <br>
1Ki_03_19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_22 And the other woman said, Nay; but the living [is] my son, and the dead [is] thy son. And this said, No; but the dead [is] thy son, and the living [is] my son. Thus they spake before the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_23 Then said the king, The one saith, This [is] my son that liveth, and thy son [is] the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son [is] the dead, and my son [is] the living.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.<br> <br>
1Ki_03_26 Then spake the woman whose the living child [was] unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, [but] divide [it].<br> <br>
1Ki_03_27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she [is] the mother thereof.<br> < br>
1Ki_03_28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God [was] in him, to do judgment.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_01 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.<br> < br>
1Ki_04_02 And these [were] the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,<br> <br>
1Ki_04_03 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_04 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_05 And Azariah the son of Nathan [was] over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan [was] principal officer, [and] the king's friend:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_06 And Ahishar [was] over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda [was] over the tribute.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_07 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_08 And these [are] their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_09 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_10 The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him [pertained] Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_11 The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_12 Baana the son of Ahilud; [to him pertained] Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, [even] unto [the place that is] beyond Jokneam: <br> <br>
1Ki_04_13 The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him [pertained] the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead; to him [also pertained] the region of Argob, which [is] in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brazen bars:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo [had] Mahanaim:<br> < br>
1Ki_04_15 Ahimaaz [was] in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_16 Baanah the son of Hushai [was] in Asher and in Aloth: <br> <br>
1Ki_04_17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:<br> <br>
1Ki_04_18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:<br> < br>
1Ki_04_19 Geber the son of Uri [was] in the country of Gilead, [in] the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer which [was] in the land.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_20 Judah and Israel [were] many, as the sand which [is] by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.<br> < br>
1Ki_04_21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,<br> <br>
1Ki_04_23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_24 For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_27 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the sea shore. <br> <br>
1Ki_04_30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.<br> < br>
1Ki_04_31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that [is] in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.<br> <br>
1Ki_04_34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.< br> <br>
1Ki_05_01 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_02 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_05_03 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.< br> <br>
1Ki_05_04 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, [so that there is] neither adversary nor evil occurrent.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_05 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_06 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that [there is] not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_07 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.< br> <br>
1Ki_05_08 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: [and] I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.<br> < br>
1Ki_05_09 My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive [them]: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees [according to] all his desire.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat [for] food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the levy.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;<br> < br>
1Ki_05_16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which [were] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.<br> <br>
1Ki_05_17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.< br> <br>
1Ki_05_18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew [them], and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_01 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.< br> <br>
1Ki_06_02 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_03 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits [was] the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits [was] the breadth thereof before the house.<br> < br>
1Ki_06_04 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.< br> <br>
1Ki_06_05 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, [against] the walls of the house round about, [both] of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:<br> < br>
1Ki_06_06 The nethermost chamber [was] five cubits broad, and the middle [was] six cubits broad, and the third [was] seven cubits broad: for without [in the wall] of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that [the beams] should not be fastened in the walls of the house.< br> <br>
1Ki_06_07 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor ax [nor] any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_08 The door for the middle chamber [was] in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle [chamber], and out of the middle into the third.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_09 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_10 And [then] he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house [with] timber of cedar.< br> <br>
1Ki_06_11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,< br> <br>
1Ki_06_12 [Concerning] this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:<br> <br>
1Ki_06_13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: [and] he covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built [them] for it within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place].< br> <br>
1Ki_06_17 And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty cubits [long].<br> <br>
1Ki_06_18 And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_20 And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar [which was of] cedar.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he overlaid with gold.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive tree, [each] ten cubits high.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_24 And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_25 And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubims [were] of one measure and one size.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_26 The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was it] of the other cherub.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house. <br> <br>
1Ki_06_28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.<br> < br>
1Ki_06_29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall]. <br> <br>
1Ki_06_32 The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of] olive tree, a fourth part [of the wall].<br> <br>
1Ki_06_34 And the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door [were] folding.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_35 And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved work.< br> <br>
1Ki_06_36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.<br> <br>
1Ki_06_37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:<br> <br>
1Ki_06_38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_01 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_02 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof [was] an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_03 And [it was] covered with cedar above upon the beams, that [lay] on forty five pillars, fifteen [in] a row.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_04 And [there were] windows [in] three rows, and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_05 And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the windows: and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.<br> < br>
1Ki_07_06 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof [was] fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch [was] before them: and the [other] pillars and the thick beam [were] before them.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_07 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, [even] the porch of judgment: and [it was] covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_08 And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within the porch, [which] was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken [to wife], like unto this porch.< br> <br>
1Ki_07_09 All these [were of] costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and [so] on the outside toward the great court.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_10 And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.<br> < br>
1Ki_07_11 And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_12 And the great court round about [was] with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_13 And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.< br> <br>
1Ki_07_14 He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. <br> <br>
1Ki_07_16 And he made two chapiters [of] molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter [was] five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter [was] five cubits:<br> <br>
1Ki_07_17 [And] nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that [were] upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_19 And the chapiters that [were] upon the top of the pillars [were] of lily work in the porch, four cubits.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars [had pomegranates] also above, over against the belly which [was] by the network: and the pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.<br> < br>
1Ki_07_22 And upon the top of the pillars [was] lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: [it was] round all about, and his height [was] five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.<br> < br>
1Ki_07_24 And under the brim of it round about [there were] knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_25 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea [was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_26 And it [was] an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_27 And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits [was] the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_28 And the work of the bases [was] on this [manner]: they had borders, and the borders [were] between the ledges:<br> < br>
1Ki_07_29 And on the borders that [were] between the ledges [were] lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges [there was] a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen [were] certain additions made of thin work.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_30 And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver [were] undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.<br> < br>
1Ki_07_31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above [was] a cubit: but the mouth thereof [was] round [after] the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it [were] gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_32 And under the borders [were] four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels [were joined] to the base: and the height of a wheel [was] a cubit and half a cubit.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_33 And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, [were] all molten.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_34 And [there were] four undersetters to the four corners of one base: [and] the undersetters [were] of the very base itself.< br> <br>
1Ki_07_35 And in the top of the base [was there] a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof [were] of the same.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.<br> < br>
1Ki_07_37 After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, [and] one size.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_38 Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: [and] every laver was four cubits: [and] upon every one of the ten bases one laver.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:<br> <br>
1Ki_07_41 The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the chapiters that [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars; <br> <br>
1Ki_07_42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, [even] two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that [were] upon the pillars;<br> <br>
1Ki_07_43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;< br> <br>
1Ki_07_44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;<br> <br>
1Ki_07_45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, [were of] bright brass.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_47 And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out. <br> <br>
1Ki_07_48 And Solomon made all the vessels that [pertained] unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the showbread [was],<br> <br>
1Ki_07_49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right [side], and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs [of] gold,<br> <br>
1Ki_07_50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers [of] pure gold; and the hinges [of] gold, [both] for the doors of the inner house, the most holy [place, and] for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple.<br> <br>
1Ki_07_51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.<br> < br>
1Ki_08_01 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.< br> <br>
1Ki_08_02 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_03 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_04 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.< br> <br>
1Ki_08_05 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.< br> <br>
1Ki_08_06 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_07 For the cherubims spread forth [their] two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_08 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_09 [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.< br> <br>
1Ki_08_10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy [place], that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,<br> <br>
1Ki_08_11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD. <br> <br>
1Ki_08_12 Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: [and all the congregation of Israel stood;]< br> <br>
1Ki_08_15 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled [it], saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_08_16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_18 And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein [is] the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thine hand, as [it is] this day.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_25 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?<br> <br>
1Ki_08_28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_29 That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, [even] toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.< br> <br>
1Ki_08_31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_32 Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.< br> <br>
1Ki_08_33 When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house: <br> <br>
1Ki_08_34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_37 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness [there be];<br> <br>
1Ki_08_38 What prayer and supplication soever be [made] by any man, [or] by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; [for thou, [even] thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;]<br> <br>
1Ki_08_40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;< br> <br>
1Ki_08_42 [For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;] when he shall come and pray toward this house;<br> <br>
1Ki_08_43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and [toward] the house that I have built for thy name:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_46 If they sin against thee, [for [there is] no man that sinneth not,] and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;<br> <br>
1Ki_08_47 [Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;<br> <br>
1Ki_08_48 And [so] return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,<br> <br>
1Ki_08_50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_51 For they [be] thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: <br> <br>
1Ki_08_52 That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, [to be] thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_54 And it was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_08_56 Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_57 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_58 That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:<br> <br>
1Ki_08_60 That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD [is] God, [and that there is] none else.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. <br> <br>
1Ki_08_62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_64 The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_65 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, [even] fourteen days.<br> <br>
1Ki_08_66 On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_01 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,<br> <br>
1Ki_09_02 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_03 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_04 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: <br> <br>
1Ki_09_05 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_06 [But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:< br> <br>
1Ki_09_07 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:<br> <br>
1Ki_09_08 And at this house, [which] is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?<br> < br>
1Ki_09_09 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.<br> < br>
1Ki_09_10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,<br> <br>
1Ki_09_11 [[Now] Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ] that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. <br> <br>
1Ki_09_12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_13 And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day. <br> <br>
1Ki_09_14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.< br> <br>
1Ki_09_15 And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_16 [For] Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it [for] a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.< br> <br>
1Ki_09_17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,< br> <br>
1Ki_09_18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, <br> <br>
1Ki_09_19 And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_20 [And] all the people [that were] left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which [were] not of the children of Israel,<br> <br>
1Ki_09_21 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_23 These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build Millo. <br> <br>
1Ki_09_25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before the LORD. So he finished the house.<br> <br>
1Ki_09_26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom. <br> <br>
1Ki_09_27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.<br> < br>
1Ki_09_28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Solomon.< br> <br>
1Ki_10_01 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_02 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_03 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not [any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_04 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,<br> <br>
1Ki_10_05 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_06 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_07 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen [it]: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_08 Happy [are] thy men, happy [are] these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_09 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.< br> <br>
1Ki_10_13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside [that] which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,<br> <br>
1Ki_10_15 Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one target.<br> < br>
1Ki_10_17 And [he made] three hundred shields [of] beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne [was] round behind: and [there were] stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.< br> <br>
1Ki_10_21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels [were of] gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were of] pure gold; none [were of] silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_27 And the king made silver [to be] in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he [to be] as the sycamore trees that [are] in the vale, for abundance.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_28 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.<br> <br>
1Ki_10_29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring [them] out by their means.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_01 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, [and] Hittites;<br> <br>
1Ki_11_02 Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_03 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.<br> < br>
1Ki_11_04 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father.< br> <br>
1Ki_11_05 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_06 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_07 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_08 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_09 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, <br> <br>
1Ki_11_10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_12 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: [but] I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.< br> <br>
1Ki_11_13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; [but] will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_14 And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he [was] of the king's seed in Edom.<br> < br>
1Ki_11_15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;<br> <br>
1Ki_11_16 [For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:]<br> <br>
1Ki_11_17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad [being] yet a little child.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.<br> < br>
1Ki_11_22 Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_23 And God stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:<br> <br>
1Ki_11_24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad [did]: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name [was] Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up [his] hand against the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_27 And this [was] the cause that he lifted up [his] hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, [and] repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_28 And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_29 And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two [were] alone in the field:<br> <br>
1Ki_11_30 And Ahijah caught the new garment that [was] on him, and rent it [in] twelve pieces:<br> <br>
1Ki_11_31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:<br> <br>
1Ki_11_32 [But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:]<br> <br>
1Ki_11_33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do [that which is] right in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my judgments, as [did] David his father.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:<br> <br>
1Ki_11_35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, [even] ten tribes.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.<br> < br>
1Ki_11_38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do [that is] right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_41 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, [are] they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?<br> <br>
1Ki_11_42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [was] forty years.<br> <br>
1Ki_11_43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. <br> <br>
1Ki_12_01 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_02 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard [of it], [for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;]<br> <br>
1Ki_12_03 That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_12_04 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_05 And he said unto them, Depart yet [for] three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_06 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?<br> <br>
1Ki_12_07 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.< br> <br>
1Ki_12_08 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, [and] which stood before him:<br> <br>
1Ki_12_09 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?<br> <br>
1Ki_12_10 And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than my father's loins.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_13 And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;<br> <br>
1Ki_12_14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father [also] chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.< br> <br>
1Ki_12_16 So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither [have we] inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. <br> <br>
1Ki_12_17 But [as for] the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_18 Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.<br> < br>
1Ki_12_21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. <br> <br>
1Ki_12_22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_12_23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_12_24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.< br> <br>
1Ki_12_25 Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:<br> <br>
1Ki_12_27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, [even] unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves [of] gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_30 And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to worship] before the one, [even] unto Dan.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that [is] in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.<br> <br>
1Ki_12_33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, [even] in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.<br> < br>
1Ki_13_01 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_02 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_03 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that [are] upon it shall be poured out.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_04 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_05 The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_06 And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as [it was] before.< br> <br>
1Ki_13_07 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.<br> < br>
1Ki_13_08 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:<br> <br>
1Ki_13_09 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.< br> <br>
1Ki_13_13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,<br> <br>
1Ki_13_14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, [Art] thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I [am].<br> <br>
1Ki_13_15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. <br> <br>
1Ki_13_16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:< br> <br>
1Ki_13_17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_18 He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art]; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:<br> <br>
1Ki_13_21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,<br> <br>
1Ki_13_22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which [the LORD] did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told [it] in the city where the old prophet dwelt.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard [thereof], he said, It [is] the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled [him].<br> <br>
1Ki_13_28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!<br> <br>
1Ki_13_31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God [is] buried; lay my bones beside his bones:< br> <br>
1Ki_13_32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which [are] in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became [one] of the priests of the high places.<br> <br>
1Ki_13_34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the earth. <br> <br>
1Ki_14_01 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.< br> <br>
1Ki_14_02 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there [is] Ahijah the prophet, which told me that [I should be] king over this people.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_03 And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_04 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_05 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he [is] sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself [to be] another [woman].<br> <br>
1Ki_14_06 And it was [so], when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself [to be] another? for I [am] sent to thee [with] heavy [tidings].<br> <br>
1Ki_14_07 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,<br> <br>
1Ki_14_08 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do [that] only [which was] right in mine eyes;<br> <br>
1Ki_14_09 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:<br> <br>
1Ki_14_10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken [it].<br> <br>
1Ki_14_12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: [and] when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found [some] good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. <br> <br>
1Ki_14_14 Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.< br> <br>
1Ki_14_15 For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.<br> < br>
1Ki_14_16 And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_17 And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died; <br> <br>
1Ki_14_18 And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned [were] two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam [was] forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.<br> < br>
1Ki_14_24 And there were also sodomites in the land: [and] they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_25 And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:<br> < br>
1Ki_14_26 And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_27 And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed [them] unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_28 And it was [so], when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?<br> <br>
1Ki_14_30 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all [their] days.<br> <br>
1Ki_14_31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.<br> < br>
1Ki_15_01 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_02 Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_03 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_04 Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:<br> <br>
1Ki_15_05 Because David did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any [thing] that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.< br> <br>
1Ki_15_06 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_07 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_08 And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.<br> < br>
1Ki_15_09 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_10 And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.<br> < br>
1Ki_15_11 And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_14 But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_16 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_17 And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold [that were] left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_15_19 [There is] a league between me and thee, [and] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_21 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [thereof], that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_22 Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_24 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_25 And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.< br> <br>
1Ki_15_27 And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.< br> <br>
1Ki_15_28 Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:<br> <br>
1Ki_15_30 Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?<br> <br>
1Ki_15_32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.<br> <br>
1Ki_15_33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years. <br> <br>
1Ki_15_34 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.< br> <br>
1Ki_16_01 Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_16_02 Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;<br> <br>
1Ki_16_03 Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_04 Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat. <br> <br>
1Ki_16_05 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?<br> <br>
1Ki_16_06 So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_07 And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_08 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_09 And his servant Zimri, captain of half [his] chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of [his] house in Tirzah.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.< br> <br>
1Ki_16_11 And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, [that] he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,<br> <br>
1Ki_16_13 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?<br> <br>
1Ki_16_15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people [were] encamped against Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_16 And the people [that were] encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.< br> <br>
1Ki_16_17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,<br> <br>
1Ki_16_19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?<br> <br>
1Ki_16_21 Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_23 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah. <br> <br>
1Ki_16_24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.< br> <br>
1Ki_16_25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that [were] before him.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?<br> <br>
1Ki_16_28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that [were] before him.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_33 And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.<br> <br>
1Ki_16_34 In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest [son] Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_01 And Elijah the Tishbite, [who was] of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, [As] the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_02 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,< br> <br>
1Ki_17_03 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_04 And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_05 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.< br> <br>
1Ki_17_06 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.< br> <br>
1Ki_17_07 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_08 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,< br> <br>
1Ki_17_09 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which [belongeth] to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman [was] there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_11 And as she was going to fetch [it], he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_12 And she said, [As] the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go [and] do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring [it] unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day [that] the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_16 [And] the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_17 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?<br> <br>
1Ki_17_19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?<br> <br>
1Ki_17_21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.<br> <br>
1Ki_17_24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou [art] a man of God, [and] that the word of the LORD in thy mouth [is] truth.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_01 And it came to pass [after] many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_02 And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And [there was] a sore famine in Samaria.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_03 And Ahab called Obadiah, which [was] the governor of [his] house. [Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:<br> <br>
1Ki_18_04 For it was [so], when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.]<br> <br>
1Ki_18_05 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_06 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_07 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, [Art] thou that my lord Elijah?<br> <br>
1Ki_18_08 And he answered him, I [am]: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].<br> <br>
1Ki_18_09 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?<br> <br>
1Ki_18_10 [As] the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, [He is] not [there]; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].<br> <br>
1Ki_18_12 And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone from thee, that the spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and [so] when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?<br> <br>
1Ki_18_14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]: and he shall slay me.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_15 And Elijah said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to day.<br> < br>
1Ki_18_16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth Israel?<br> <br>
1Ki_18_18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_19 Now therefore send, [and] gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.< br> <br>
1Ki_18_20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD [be] God, follow him: but if Baal, [then] follow him. And the people answered him not a word.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, [even] I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets [are] four hundred and fifty men.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]:<br> <br>
1Ki_18_24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress [it] first; for ye [are] many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire [under].<br> < br>
1Ki_18_26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed [it], and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But [there was] no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.<br> < br>
1Ki_18_27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, [or] peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.< br> <br>
1Ki_18_29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that [there was] neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. <br> <br>
1Ki_18_30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD [that was] broken down.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:<br> <br>
1Ki_18_32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid [him] on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour [it] on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.<br> < br>
1Ki_18_34 And he said, Do [it] the second time. And they did [it] the second time. And he said, Do [it] the third time. And they did [it] the third time.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou [art] God in Israel, and [that] I [am] thy servant, and [that] I have done all these things at thy word.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou [art] the LORD God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back again.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that [was] in the trench.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_39 And when all the people saw [it], they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he [is] the God; the LORD, he [is] the God. <br> <br>
1Ki_18_40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for [there is] a sound of abundance of rain.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,<br> <br>
1Ki_18_43 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare [thy chariot], and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_45 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.<br> <br>
1Ki_18_46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_01 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.<br> < br>
1Ki_19_02 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_03 And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which [belongeth] to Judah, and left his servant there.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_04 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_05 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_06 And he looked, and, behold, [there was] a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_07 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise [and] eat; because the journey [is] too great for thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_08 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_09 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?<br> <br>
1Ki_19_10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:<br> <br>
1Ki_19_12 And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.<br> < br>
1Ki_19_13 And it was [so], when Elijah heard [it] that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?<br> <br>
1Ki_19_14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael [to be] king over Syria:<br> <br>
1Ki_19_16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint [to be] king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint [to be] prophet in thy room.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_18 Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.<br> <br>
1Ki_19_19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who [was] plowing [with] twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. <br> <br>
1Ki_19_20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and [then] I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?<br> <br>
1Ki_19_21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_01 And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and [there were] thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.< br> <br>
1Ki_20_02 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,<br> <br>
1Ki_20_03 Thy silver and thy gold [is] mine; thy wives also and thy children, [even] the goodliest, [are] mine.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_04 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I [am] thine, and all that I have.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_05 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;< br> <br>
1Ki_20_06 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, [that] whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put [it] in their hand, and take [it] away.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_07 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_08 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not [unto him], nor consent.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_09 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_10 And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Let not him that girdeth on [his harness] boast himself as he that putteth it off.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_12 And it came to pass, when [Benhadad] heard this message, as he [was] drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set [yourselves in array]. And they set [themselves in array] against the city.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, [Even] by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.<br> < br>
1Ki_20_15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, [even] all the children of Israel, [being] seven thousand.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_16 And they went out at noon. But Benhadad [was] drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_18 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_19 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_20 And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.<br> < br>
1Ki_20_22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.< br> <br>
1Ki_20_23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods [are] gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:<br> <br>
1Ki_20_25 And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, [and] surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country. <br> <br>
1Ki_20_28 And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD [is] God of the hills, but he [is] not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_29 And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And [so] it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and [there] a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men [that were] left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel [are] merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and [put] ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, [Is] he yet alive? he [is] my brother.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_33 Now the men did diligently observe whether [any thing would come] from him, and did hastily catch [it]: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_34 And [Benhadad] said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then [said Ahab], I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_36 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded [him].<br> <br>
1Ki_20_38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.<br> <br>
1Ki_20_40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So [shall] thy judgment [be]; thyself hast decided [it].<br> <br>
1Ki_20_41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he [was] of the prophets.< br> <br>
1Ki_20_42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of [thy] hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people. <br> <br>
1Ki_20_43 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_01 And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_02 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or], if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.< br> <br>
1Ki_21_03 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_04 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. <br> <br>
1Ki_21_05 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?<br> <br>
1Ki_21_06 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_07 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_08 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed [them] with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that [were] in his city, dwelling with Naboth.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_09 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:<br> <br>
1Ki_21_10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And [then] carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_11 And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent unto them.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, [even] against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_21_18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_20 And Ahab said to Elijah, hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found [thee]; because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,<br> <br>
1Ki_21_22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and made Israel to sin.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.<br> <br>
1Ki_21_28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,<br> <br>
1Ki_21_29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: [but] in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_01 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_02 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_03 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead [is] ours, and we [be] still, [and] take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?<br> <br>
1Ki_22_04 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_05 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_06 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_07 And Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?<br> <br>
1Ki_22_08 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There is] yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_09 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten [hither] Micaiah the son of Imlah.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the king's hand.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak [that which is] good.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_14 And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_15 So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but [that which is] true in the name of the LORD?<br> <br>
1Ki_22_17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?<br> <br>
1Ki_22_19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade [him], and prevail also: go forth, and do so.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?<br> <br>
1Ki_22_25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.<br> < br>
1Ki_22_26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; <br> <br>
1Ki_22_27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this [fellow] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it [is] the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.< br> <br>
1Ki_22_33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it [was] not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_34 And a [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.<br> < br>
1Ki_22_36 And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_38 And [one] washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?< br> <br>
1Ki_22_40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_41 And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_42 Jehoshaphat [was] thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_43 And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; [for] the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.< br> <br>
1Ki_22_45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?<br> <br>
1Ki_22_46 And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_47 [There was] then no king in Edom: a deputy [was] king. <br> <br>
1Ki_22_48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_49 Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not. <br> <br>
1Ki_22_50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.<br> <br>
1Ki_22_52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:<br> <br>
1Ki_22_53 For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. <br> <br>
1Pe_01_01 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,< br> <br>

1Pe_01_05 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.<br> <br>
1Pe_01_06 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:<br> < br>
1Pe_01_07 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:< br> <br>
1Pe_01_08 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:<br> <br>
1Pe_01_09 Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls.<br> <br>
1Pe_01_10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] unto you:<br> <br>
1Pe_01_11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.<br> < br>
1Pe_01_12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.<br> <br>
1Pe_01_13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;<br> <br>
1Pe_01_14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:<br> <br>
1Pe_01_15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;<br> <br>
1Pe_01_16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.< br> <br>
1Pe_01_17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear:<br> <br>
1Pe_01_18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;<br> <br>
1Pe_01_19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:<br> <br>
1Pe_01_20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,<br> < br>
1Pe_01_21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.< br> <br>
1Pe_01_22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:<br> <br>
1Pe_01_23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.< br> <br>
1Pe_01_24 For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:<br> <br>
1Pe_01_25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_01 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,<br> <br>
1Pe_02_02 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:<br> <br>
1Pe_02_03 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.< br> <br>
1Pe_02_04 To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,<br> <br>
1Pe_02_05 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_06 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_07 Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,<br> <br>
1Pe_02_08 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_09 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:< br> <br>
1Pe_02_10 Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;<br> <br>
1Pe_02_12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.< br> <br>
1Pe_02_13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;<br> <br>
1Pe_02_14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. <br> <br>
1Pe_02_15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:<br> <br>
1Pe_02_16 As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_18 Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.<br> < br>
1Pe_02_19 For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_20 For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.< br> <br>
1Pe_02_21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: <br> <br>
1Pe_02_22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: <br> <br>
1Pe_02_23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:<br> <br>
1Pe_02_24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.<br> <br>
1Pe_02_25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_01 Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;<br> <br>
1Pe_03_02 While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with fear.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_03 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;< br> <br>
1Pe_03_04 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_05 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:<br> <br>
1Pe_03_06 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_07 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_08 Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:<br> < br>
1Pe_03_09 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:< br> <br>
1Pe_03_11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_12 For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against them that do evil.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?<br> <br>
1Pe_03_14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;<br> <br>
1Pe_03_15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:<br> <br>
1Pe_03_16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_17 For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:<br> <br>
1Pe_03_19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;<br> <br>
1Pe_03_20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.<br> <br>
1Pe_03_21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us [not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,] by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:< br> <br>
1Pe_03_22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.< br> <br>
1Pe_04_01 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;<br> <br>
1Pe_04_02 That he no longer should live the rest of [his] time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_03 For the time past of [our] life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:< br> <br>
1Pe_04_04 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:<br> < br>
1Pe_04_05 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_06 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_07 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_08 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.<br> < br>
1Pe_04_09 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.< br> <br>
1Pe_04_10 As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.< br> <br>
1Pe_04_11 If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: <br> <br>
1Pe_04_13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief, or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.< br> <br>
1Pe_04_16 Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.<br> <br>
1Pe_04_17 For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of them that obey not the gospel of God?<br> <br>
1Pe_04_18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?<br> <br>
1Pe_04_19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.<br> <br>
1Pe_05_01 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:<br> <br>
1Pe_05_02 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;<br> <br>
1Pe_05_03 Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.<br> <br>
1Pe_05_04 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.<br> <br>
1Pe_05_05 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.<br> < br>
1Pe_05_06 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:<br> <br>
1Pe_05_07 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. <br> <br>
1Pe_05_08 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:<br> <br>
1Pe_05_09 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. <br> <br>
1Pe_05_10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].<br> <br>
1Pe_05_11 To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. <br> <br>
1Pe_05_12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.<br> <br>
1Pe_05_13 The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.<br> <br>
1Pe_05_14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be] with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_01 Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:<br> < br>
1Sa_01_02 And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_03 And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, [were] there.<br> < br>
1Sa_01_04 And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:< br> <br>
1Sa_01_05 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_06 And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_07 And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_08 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? [am] not I better to thee than ten sons?<br> <br>
1Sa_01_09 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_10 And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken. <br> <br>
1Sa_01_14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.< br> <br>
1Sa_01_17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of him.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more [sad].<br> <br>
1Sa_01_19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.<br> < br>
1Sa_01_20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD.<br> < br>
1Sa_01_21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and [then] I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.< br> <br>
1Sa_01_24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child [was] young.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli. <br> <br>
1Sa_01_26 And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord, I [am] the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_01_27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:<br> <br>
1Sa_01_28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there. <br> <br>
1Sa_02_01 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_02 [There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_03 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_04 The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_05 [They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.<br> < br>
1Sa_02_06 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_07 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_08 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_09 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.< br> <br>
1Sa_02_10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_12 Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_13 And the priests' custom with the people [was, that], when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;<br> <br>
1Sa_02_14 And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that came thither.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.<br> < br>
1Sa_02_16 And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give [it me] now: and if not, I will take [it] by force.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.<br> < br>
1Sa_02_18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child, girded with a linen ephod.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought [it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_24 Nay, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?<br> <br>
1Sa_02_28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?<br> <br>
1Sa_02_29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?<br> <br>
1Sa_02_30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_32 And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_33 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age. <br> <br>
1Sa_02_34 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.<br> <br>
1Sa_02_35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall do according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever. <br> <br>
1Sa_02_36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_01 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; [there was] no open vision.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_02 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli [was] laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, [that] he could not see; <br> <br>
1Sa_03_03 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God [was], and Samuel was laid down [to sleep];< br> <br>
1Sa_03_04 That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here [am] I.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_05 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_06 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_07 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_08 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_09 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.<br> < br>
1Sa_03_10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_12 In that day I will perform against Eli all [things] which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.< br> <br>
1Sa_03_16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here [am] I.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_17 And he said, What [is] the thing that [the LORD] hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide [it] not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide [any] thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It [is] the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.< br> <br>
1Sa_03_19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.<br> <br>
1Sa_03_20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD.<br> < br>
1Sa_03_21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_01 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_02 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_03 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_04 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth [between] the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_05 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_06 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What [meaneth] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_07 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_08 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_09 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told [it], all the city cried out.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What [meaneth] the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_16 And the man said unto Eli, I [am] he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?<br> <br>
1Sa_04_17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, [near] to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.<br> < br>
1Sa_04_20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard [it].<br> <br>
1Sa_04_21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.<br> <br>
1Sa_04_22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_01 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_02 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_03 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_04 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.<br> < br>
1Sa_05_05 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_06 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] Ashdod and the coasts thereof.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_07 And when the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_08 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about [thither].<br> <br>
1Sa_05_09 And it was [so], that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.<br> <br>
1Sa_05_12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_01 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_02 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_03 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_04 Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague [was] on you all, and on your lords.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_05 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_06 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?<br> <br>
1Sa_06_07 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:<br> <br>
1Sa_06_08 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.< br> <br>
1Sa_06_09 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us: it [was] a chance [that] happened to us.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:<br> <br>
1Sa_06_11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.<br> < br>
1Sa_06_13 And [they of] Bethshemesh [were] reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see [it].<br> <br>
1Sa_06_14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were], and put [them] on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], they returned to Ekron the same day.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_17 And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines returned [for] a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;<br> <br>
1Sa_06_18 And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords, [both] of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: [which stone remaineth] unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with a great slaughter.<br> <br>
1Sa_06_20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?<br> <br>
1Sa_06_21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_01 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.<br> < br>
1Sa_07_02 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_03 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_04 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_05 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_06 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_07 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_08 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_09 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Bethcar.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.<br> <br>
1Sa_07_15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.< br> <br>
1Sa_07_16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.<br> < br>
1Sa_07_17 And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_01 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_02 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beersheba.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_03 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_04 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,<br> <br>
1Sa_08_05 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. <br> <br>
1Sa_08_06 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.<br> < br>
1Sa_08_07 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.< br> <br>
1Sa_08_08 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. <br> <br>
1Sa_08_09 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint [them] for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] shall run before his chariots.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_13 And he will take your daughters [to be] confectionaries, and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, [even] the best [of them], and give [them] to his servants.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.<br> < br>
1Sa_08_16 And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put [them] to his work.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_17 He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day. <br> <br>
1Sa_08_19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;<br> < br>
1Sa_08_20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_08_22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_01 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name [was] Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_02 And he had a son, whose name [was] Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and [there was] not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward [he was] higher than any of the people.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_03 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_04 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found [them] not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and [there they were] not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found [them] not.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_05 [And] when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that [was] with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave [caring] for the asses, and take thought for us.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_06 And he said unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this city a man of God, and [he is] an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can show us our way that we should go.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_07 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, [if] we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and [there is] not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?< br> <br>
1Sa_09_08 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: [that] will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_09 [Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for [he that is] now [called] a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.]<br> <br>
1Sa_09_10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God [was].<br> < br>
1Sa_09_11 [And] as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?<br> <br>
1Sa_09_12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, [he is] before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for [there is] a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:<br> < br>
1Sa_09_13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_14 And they went up into the city: [and] when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,<br> <br>
1Sa_09_16 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him [to be] captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house [is].<br> <br>
1Sa_09_19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I [am] the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that [is] in thine heart. <br> <br>
1Sa_09_20 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom [is] all the desire of Israel? [Is it] not on thee, and on all thy father's house?< br> <br>
1Sa_09_21 And Saul answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?<br> <br>
1Sa_09_22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which [were] about thirty persons.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_23 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.<br> < br>
1Sa_09_24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and [that] which [was] upon it, and set [it] before Saul. And [Samuel] said, Behold that which is left! set [it] before thee, [and] eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_25 And when they were come down from the high place into the city, [Samuel] communed with Saul upon the top of the house.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_26 And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.<br> <br>
1Sa_09_27 [And] as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, [and he passed on, ] but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God.< br> <br>
1Sa_10_01 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon his head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD hath anointed thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?<br> <br>
1Sa_10_02 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?<br> <br>
1Sa_10_03 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:<br> <br>
1Sa_10_04 And they will salute thee, and give thee two [loaves] of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_05 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where [is] the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:<br> <br>
1Sa_10_06 And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.< br> <br>
1Sa_10_07 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, [that] thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [is] with thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_08 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_09 And it was [so], that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What [is] this [that] is come unto the son of Kish? [Is] Saul also among the prophets?<br> <br>
1Sa_10_12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who [is] their father? Therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?<br> <br>
1Sa_10_13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that [they were] no where, we came to Samuel.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_17 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;<br> <br>
1Sa_10_18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed you:<br> <br>
1Sa_10_19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.<br> < br>
1Sa_10_22 Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote [it] in a book, and laid [it] up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.<br> <br>
1Sa_10_27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_01 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_02 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this [condition] will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_03 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if [there be] no man to save us, we will come out to thee.< br> <br>
1Sa_11_04 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_05 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_06 And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_07 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent [them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_08 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. <br> <br>
1Sa_11_09 And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by [that time] the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed [it] to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you. <br> <br>
1Sa_11_11 And it was [so] on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_12 And the people said unto Samuel, Who [is] he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.< br> <br>
1Sa_11_13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.<br> <br>
1Sa_11_15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_01 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_02 And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons [are] with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_03 Behold, here I [am]: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_04 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_05 And he said unto them, The LORD [is] witness against you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_06 And Samuel said unto the people, [It is] the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_07 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_08 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_09 And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_10 And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. <br> <br>
1Sa_12_11 And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God [was] your king.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, [and] whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you. <br> <br>
1Sa_12_14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:<br> <br>
1Sa_12_15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as [it was] against your fathers.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_17 [Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_18 So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;<br> <br>
1Sa_12_21 And turn ye not aside: for [then should ye go] after vain [things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] vain.< br> <br>
1Sa_12_22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.< br> <br>
1Sa_12_23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:<br> <br>
1Sa_12_24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great [things] he hath done for you.<br> <br>
1Sa_12_25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_01 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,<br> <br>
1Sa_13_02 Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel; [whereof] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_03 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_04 And all Israel heard say [that] Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_05 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.<br> < br>
1Sa_13_06 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, [for the people were distressed,] then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.< br> <br>
1Sa_13_07 And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_08 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_09 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that] thou camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;<br> <br>
1Sa_13_12 Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. <br> <br>
1Sa_13_14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him, about six hundred men.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people [that were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way [that leadeth to] Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:<br> <br>
1Sa_13_18 And another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron: and another company turned [to] the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them] swords or spears:<br> <br>
1Sa_13_20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his ax, and his mattock. <br> <br>
1Sa_13_21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. <br> <br>
1Sa_13_22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.<br> <br>
1Sa_13_23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_01 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that [is] on the other side. But he told not his father.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_02 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron: and the people that [were] with him [were] about six hundred men;<br> <br>
1Sa_14_03 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_04 And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, [there was] a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_05 The forefront of the one [was] situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_06 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for [there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_07 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart. <br> <br>
1Sa_14_08 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto [these] men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_09 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.< br> <br>
1Sa_14_10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this [shall be] a sign unto us.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_11 And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.<br> < br>
1Sa_14_12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow].<br> <br>
1Sa_14_15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.<br> < br>
1Sa_14_16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another].<br> <br>
1Sa_14_17 Then said Saul unto the people that [were] with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer [were] not [there].<br> < br>
1Sa_14_18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_20 And Saul and all the people that [were] with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_21 Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp [from the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_23 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_25 And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food this day. And the people were faint.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?<br> <br>
1Sa_14_31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people did eat [them] with the blood.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them] there.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_39 For, [as] the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answered him.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. <br> <br>
1Sa_14_42 And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that [was] in mine hand, [and], lo, I must die.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: [as] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed [them].<br> <br>
1Sa_14_48 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.<br> < br>
1Sa_14_49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters [were these]; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:<br> < br>
1Sa_14_50 And the name of Saul's wife [was] Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host [was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_51 And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner [was] the son of Abiel.<br> <br>
1Sa_14_52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_01 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_02 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_03 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_04 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_05 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_06 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.<br> < br>
1Sa_15_07 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah [until] thou comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_08 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.<br> < br>
1Sa_15_09 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all [that was] good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,< br> <br>
1Sa_15_11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night. <br> <br>
1Sa_15_12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.< br> <br>
1Sa_15_13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_14 And Samuel said, What [meaneth] then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?<br> <br>
1Sa_15_15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. <br> <br>
1Sa_15_16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.< br> <br>
1Sa_15_17 And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thine own sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?<br> <br>
1Sa_15_18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?<br> <br>
1Sa_15_20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. <br> <br>
1Sa_15_21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_28 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, [that is] better than thou.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_30 Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.<br> <br>
1Sa_15_35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_01 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_02 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear [it], he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_03 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me [him] whom I name unto thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_04 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?<br> <br>
1Sa_16_05 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_06 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed [is] before him.< br> <br>
1Sa_16_07 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_08 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.<br> < br>
1Sa_16_09 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.< br> <br>
1Sa_16_11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy, [and] withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this [is] he.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.<br> < br>
1Sa_16_14 But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_16 Let our lord now command thy servants, [which are] before thee, to seek out a man, [who is] a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring [him] to me.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, [that is] cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD [is] with him.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which [is] with the sheep.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_20 And Jesse took an ass [laden] with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David his son unto Saul.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.<br> <br>
1Sa_16_23 And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.< br> <br>
1Sa_17_01 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which [belongeth] to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammin.<br> < br>
1Sa_17_02 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_03 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and [there was] a valley between them.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_04 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height [was] six cubits and a span.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_05 And [he had] an helmet of brass upon his head, and he [was] armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat [was] five thousand shekels of brass.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_06 And [he had] greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_07 And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_08 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set [your] battle in array? [am] not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_09 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_12 Now David [was] the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name [was] Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men [for] an old man in the days of Saul.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went [and] followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle [were] Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_14 And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;<br> <br>
1Sa_17_18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of [their] thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren. <br> <br>
1Sa_17_23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard [them].<br> <br>
1Sa_17_24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, [that] the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.< br> <br>
1Sa_17_26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?<br> <br>
1Sa_17_27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_29 And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a cause?<br> <br>
1Sa_17_30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. <br> <br>
1Sa_17_31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.<br> < br>
1Sa_17_33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou [art but] a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: <br> <br>
1Sa_17_35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught [him] by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.< br> <br>
1Sa_17_39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved [them]. And David put them off him.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield [went] before him.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_43 And the Philistine said unto David, [Am] I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. <br> <br>
1Sa_17_44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.<br> <br>
1Sa_17_49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang [it], and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.< br> <br>
1Sa_17_50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but [there was] no sword in the hand of David.<br>
