And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gave to Abraham: and restored to him Sara his wife, Gen. 20:14

And Abraham called the name of his son, whom Sara bore him, Isaac. Gen. 21:3
When he was a hundred years old: for at this age of his father, was Isaac born. Gen. 21:5
And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age? Gen. 21:7
And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast on the day of his weaning. Gen. 21:8
Abraham took this grievously for his son. Gen. 21:11
And he dwelt in the wilderness of Pharan, and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt. Gen. 21:21
At the same time Abimelech, and Phicol the general of his army, said to Abraham: God is with thee in all that thou dost. Gen. 21:22
And he reproved Abimelech for a well of water, which his servants had taken away by force. Gen. 21:25

So Abraham rising up in the night, saddled his ass, and took with him two young men, and Isaac his son: and when he had cut wood for the holocaust, he went his way to the place which God had commanded him. Gen. 22:3

And he said to his young men: Stay you here with the ass; I and the boy will go with speed as far as yonder, and after we have worshipped, will return to you. Gen. 22:5
And he took the wood for the holocaust, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he himself carried in his hands fire and a sword. And as they two went on together, Gen. 22:6
Isaac said to his father: My father. And he answered: What wilt thou, son? Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust? Gen. 22:7
And they came to the place which God had shewn him, where he built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it; and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood. Gen. 22:9
And he put forth his hand, and took the sword, to sacrifice his son. Gen. 22:10
Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram, amongst the briers, sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son. Gen. 22:13
Abraham returned to his young men, and they went to Bersabee together, and he dwelt there. Gen. 22:19
After these things, it was told Abraham, that Melcha also had borne children to Nachor his brother. Gen. 22:20
Hus, the firstborn, and Buz, his brother, and Camuel the father of the Syrians, Gen. 22:21
And his concubine, named Roma, bore Tabee, and Gaham, and Tahas, and Maacha. Gen. 22:24
My lord, hear us, thou art a prince of God among us: bury thy dead in our principal sepulchres: and no man shall have power to hinder thee from burying thy dead in his sepulchre. Gen. 23:6
That he may give me the double cave, which he hath in the end of his field: For as much money as it is worth he shall give it me before you, for a possession of a burying place. Gen. 23:9
Was made sure to Abraham for a possession, in the sight of the children of Heth, and of all that went in at the gate of his city. Gen. 23:18
And so Abraham buried Sara, his wife, in the double cave of the field, that looked towards Mambre, this is Hebron in the land of Chanaan. Gen. 23:19
And he said to the elder servant of his house, who was ruler over all he had: Put thy hand under my thigh, Gen. 24:2
The Lord God of heaven, who took me out of my father's house, and out of my native country, who spoke to me, and swore to me, saying: To thy seed will I give this land: he will send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take from thence a wife for my son. Gen. 24:7
The servant, therefore, put his hand under the thigh of Abraham, his lord, and swore to him upon his word. Gen. 24:9
And he took ten camels of his master's herd, and departed, carrying something of all his goods with him, and he set forth and went on to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nachor. Gen. 24:10
But he musing, beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. Gen. 24:21
Saying: Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not taken away his mercy and truth from my master, and hath brought me the straight way into the house of my master's brother. Gen. 24:27
And when he had seen the earrings and bracelets in his sister's hands, and had heard all that she related, saying, Thus and thus the man spoke to me: he came to the man who stood by the camels, and near to the spring of water, Gen. 24:30
And he brought him into his lodging; and he unharnessed the camels, and gave straw and hay, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were come with him. Gen. 24:32
The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house. Gen. 24:40
And falling down, I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master, Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son. Gen. 24:48
And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord: we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure. Gen. 24:50
So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company. Gen. 24:59
So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master. Gen. 24:61
And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off. Gen. 24:63
Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death. Gen. 24:67
And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac: Gen. 25:5
And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country. Gen. 25:6
And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people. Gen. 25:8
And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre, Gen. 25:9
Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife. Gen. 25:10
And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing. Gen. 25:11
And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam, Gen. 25:13
And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people. Gen. 25:17
And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren. Gen. 25:18
And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive. Gen. 25:21
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand: and therefore he was called Jacob. Gen. 25:25
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob. Gen. 25:28
Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom. Gen. 25:30
Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright. Gen. 25:33
And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright. Gen. 25:34
And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister: for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty. Gen. 26:7
And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech, king of the Palestines, looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca, his wife. Gen. 26:8
Stopped up at that time all the wells, that the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, filling them up with earth: Gen. 26:15
And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, and which, after his death, the Philistines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names, by which his father before had called them. Gen. 26:18
And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent; and commanded his servants to dig a well. Gen. 26:25
To which place when Abimelech, and Ochozath his friend, and Phicol chief captain of his soldiers, came from Gerara, Gen. 26:26
¤ Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? And he answered: Here I am. Gen. 27:1
And his father said to him, Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death. Gen. 27:2
And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfil his father's commandment, Gen. 27:5
And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said. Gen. 27:13
He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked. Gen. 27:14
And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck. Gen. 27:16
And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way: Gen. 27:20
He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands, are the hands of Esau. Gen. 27:22
And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him, Gen. 27:23
He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed. Gen. 27:27
Isaac had scarce ended his words, when, Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came, Gen. 27:30
And brought in to his father meats, made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son's venison; that thy soul may bless me. Gen. 27:31
Esau having heard his father's words, roared out with a great cry; and, being in a consternation, said: Bless me also, my father. Gen. 27:34
But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: My birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing? Gen. 27:36
Isaac answered: I have appointed him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more for thee, my son? Gen. 27:37
Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword, and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy neck. Gen. 27:40
Esau therefore always hated Jacob, for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him; and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning for my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob. Gen. 27:41
And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day? Gen. 27:45
And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bathuel, the Syrian, brother to Rebecca, his mother. Gen. 28:5
And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan: Gen. 28:6
And that Jacob obeying his parents, was gone into Syria: Gen. 28:7
Experiencing also, that his father was not well pleased with the daughters of Chanaan: Gen. 28:8
And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. Gen. 28:11
And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it. Gen. 28:12
And Jacob arising in the morning, took the stone which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it. Gen. 28:18
¤ Then Jacob went on in his journey, and came into the east country. Gen. 29:1
He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold, Rachel, his daughter, cometh with his flock. Gen. 29:6
And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed. Gen. 29:10
And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice wept. Gen. 29:11
Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister's son was come, ran forth to meet him: and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey, Gen. 29:13
So Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed but a few days, because of the greatness of his love. Gen. 29:20
And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage. Gen. 29:22
And at night he brought in Lia, his daughter, to him, Gen. 29:23
Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom, when morning was come he saw it was Lia. Gen. 29:24
And he said to his father-in-law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me? Gen. 29:25
He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel: Gen. 29:28
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ruben, saying: The Lord saw my affliction: now my husband will love me. Gen. 29:32
And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon. Gen. 29:33
And she conceived the third time, and bore another son, and said: Now also my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons: and therefore she called his name Levi. Gen. 29:34
And Rachel said: The Lord hath judged for me, and hath heard my voice, giving me a son; and therefore she called his name Dan. Gen. 30:6
She said: Happily. And therefore called his name Gad. Gen. 30:11
And Ruben going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son's mandrakes. Gen. 30:14
And said: God hath given me a reward, because I gave my handmaid to my husband. And she called his name Issachar. Gen. 30:18
And said: God hath endowed me with a good dowry; this turn also my husband will be with me, because I have borne him six sons: and therefore she called his name Zabulon. Gen. 30:20
And she called his name Joseph: saying: The Lord give me also another son. Gen. 30:24
And when Joseph was born, Jacob said to his father-in-law: Send me away, that I may return into my country, and to my land. Gen. 30:25
And he separated the same day the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted; and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons. Gen. 30:35
And he set the space of three days' journey betwixt himself and his son-in-law, who fed the rest of his flock. Gen. 30:36
¤ But after that he had heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and being enriched by his substance is become great. Gen. 31:1
Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way. Gen. 31:17
And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac, his father, to the land of Chanaan. Gen. 31:18
At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father's idols. Gen. 31:19
And Jacob would not confess to his father-in-law that he was flying away. Gen. 31:20
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad. Gen. 31:23
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he, with his brethren, had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad. Gen. 31:25
She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me according to the custom of women. So his careful search was in vain. Gen. 31:35
And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they, gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it. Gen. 31:46
And Laban called it, The witness heap; and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language. Gen. 31:47
The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac: Gen. 31:53
And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there: Gen. 31:54
But Laban arose in the night, and kissed his sons and daughters, and blessed them: and returned to his place. Gen. 31:55
And he sent messengers before him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom: Gen. 32:3
Then Jacob was greatly afraid; and in his fear divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies, Gen. 32:7
And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau, Gen. 32:13
And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove. Gen. 32:16
And rising early, he took his two wives and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc. Gen. 32:22
And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank. Gen. 32:25
And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot. Gen. 32:31
Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank. Gen. 32:32
¤ And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids. Gen. 33:1
And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times, until his brother came near. Gen. 33:3
Then Esau ran to meet his brother, and embraced him: and clasping him fast about the neck, and kissing him, wept. Gen. 33:4
And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me, thy servant. Gen. 33:5
And take the blessing which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother's earnest pressing him, Gen. 33:11
May it please my lord to go before his servant: and I will follow softly after him, as I shall see my children to be able, until I come to my lord in Seir. Gen. 33:14
And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem, for a hundred lambs. Gen. 33:19
And his soul was fast knit unto her; and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words. Gen. 34:3
And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife. Gen. 34:4
But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back. Gen. 34:5
Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob's daughter. Gen. 34:7
The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister: Gen. 34:13
Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem, his son: Gen. 34:18
And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required: for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house. Gen. 34:19
And Jacob having called together all his household, said: Cast away the strange gods that are among you, and be cleansed, and change your garments. Gen. 35:2
And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother. Gen. 35:7
And when her soul was departing for pain, and death was now at hand, she called the name of her son Benoni, that is, the son of my pain: but his father called him Benjamin, that is, the son of the right hand. Gen. 35:18
Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower. Gen. 35:21
And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. Gen. 35:22
And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned. Gen. 35:27
And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. Gen. 35:29
And Esau took his wives, and his sons and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and all that he was able to acquire in the land of Chanaan: and went into another country, and departed from his brother Jacob. Gen. 36:6
And these the names of his sons: Eliphaz the son of Ada, the wife of Esau: and Rahuel, the son of Basemath, his wife. Gen. 36:10
And these the sons of Sebeon: Aia and Ana. This is Ana that found the hot waters in the wilderness, when he fed the asses of Sebeon, his father: Gen. 36:24
Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city Denaba. Gen. 36:32
And Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zara, of Bosra, reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:33
And when Jobab was dead, Husam, of the land of the Themanites, reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:34
And after his death, Adad, the son of Badad, reigned in his stead, who defeated the Madianites in the country of Moab; and the name of his city was Avith. Gen. 36:35
And when Adad was dead, there reigned in his stead, Semla, of Masreca. Gen. 36:36
And he being dead, Saul, of the river Rohoboth, reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:37
This man also being dead, Adar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Phau: and his wife was called Meetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezaab. Gen. 36:39
¤ And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan, wherein his father sojourned. Gen. 37:1
And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime. Gen. 37:2
Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours. Gen. 37:3
And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him. Gen. 37:4
Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more. Gen. 37:5
His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred. Gen. 37:8
He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me. Gen. 37:9
And when he had told this to his father, and brethren, his father rebuked him and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth? Gen. 37:10
His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself. Gen. 37:11
And when his brethren abode in Sechem, feeding their father's flocks, Gen. 37:12
And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain. Gen. 37:17
Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him: Gen. 37:20
Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father. Gen. 37:22
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours: Gen. 37:23
And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood? Gen. 37:26
It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words. Gen. 37:27
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go? Gen. 37:30
And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed: Gen. 37:31
And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time. Gen. 37:34
And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, Gen. 37:35
¤ At that time Juda went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Odollamite, named Hiras. Gen. 38:1
And she conceived, and bore a son, and called his name Her. Gen. 38:3
And Juda took a wife for Her, his first born, whose name was Thamar. Gen. 38:6
Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother. Gen. 38:8
He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother's wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother's name. Gen. 38:9
Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter-in-law: Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way, and dwelt in her father's house. Gen. 38:11
And after many days were past: the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite, the shepherd of his flock. Gen. 38:12
And it was told Thamar that her father-in-law was come up to Thamnas to shear his sheep. Gen. 38:13
And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter-in-law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company? Gen. 38:16
And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her, Gen. 38:20
But he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? and therefore called his name Phares. Gen. 38:29
Afterwards his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread: and she called his name Zara. Gen. 38:30
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house: Gen. 39:2
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand. Gen. 39:3
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him: Gen. 39:4
And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home and in the fields. Gen. 39:5
And after many days, his mistress cast her eyes on Joseph, and said: Lie with me. Gen. 39:7
But he in no wise consenting to that wicked act said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house: Gen. 39:8
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife; how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God? Gen. 39:9
And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out. Gen. 39:12
His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife's words, was very angry, Gen. 39:19
Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done, was under him. Gen. 39:22
The chief butler first told his dream: I saw before me a vine, Gen. 40:9
The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker. Gen. 40:20
And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup: Gen. 40:21
But the chief butler, when things prospered with him, forgot his interpreter. Gen. 40:23
And devoured all the beauty of the former. Pharao awaked after his rest: Gen. 41:7
And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it. Gen. 41:8
The king being angry with his servants, commanded me and the chief baker to be cast into the prison of the captain of the soldiers. Gen. 41:10
Forthwith at the king's command Joseph was brought out of the prison, and they shaved him: and changing his apparel brought him in to him. Gen. 41:14
The counsel pleased Pharao, and all his servants. Gen. 41:37
And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck. Gen. 41:42
And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt. Gen. 41:43
And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue the saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:45
¤ And Jacob hearing that food was sold in Egypt, said to his sons: Why are ye careless? Gen. 42:1
Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey. Gen. 42:4
And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and corn was sold by his direction to the people. And when his brethren had bowed down to him, Gen. 42:6
And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them. Gen. 42:8
And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us. Gen. 42:21
And Ruben, one of them, said: Did not I say to you: Do not sin against the boy; and you would not hear me? Behold his blood is required. Gen. 42:22
And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man's money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so. Gen. 42:25
And one of them opening his sack, to give his beast provender in the inn, saw the money in the sack's mouth, Gen. 42:27
And said to his brethren: My money is given me again; behold it is in the sack. And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us? Gen. 42:28
When they had told this, they poured out their corn, and every man found his money tied in the mouth of his sack: and all being astonished together, Gen. 42:35
But he said: My son shall not go down with you: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to hell. Gen. 42:38
And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again, and buy us a little food. Gen. 43:2
And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish. Gen. 43:8
And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon. Gen. 43:16
Then Joseph came in to his house, and they offered him the presents, holding them in their hands; and they bowed down with their face to the ground. Gen. 43:26
And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son. Gen. 43:29
And he made haste, because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber, he wept. Gen. 43:30
And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table. Gen. 43:31
And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane): Gen. 43:32
They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much; Gen. 43:33
¤ And Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying: Fill their sacks with corn, as much as they can hold: and put the money of every one in the top of his sack. Gen. 44:1
And when they were now departed out of the city, and had gone forward a little way: Joseph sending for the steward of his house, said: Arise, and pursue after the men: and when thou hast overtaken them, say to them: Why have you returned evil for good? Gen. 44:4
Then they speedily took down their sacks to the ground, and every man opened his sack. Gen. 44:11
And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph (for he was not yet gone out of the place) and they all together fell down before him on the ground. Gen. 44:14
And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead; and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly. Gen. 44:20
We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die. Gen. 44:22
Therefore, if I shall go to thy servant, our father, and the boy be wanting, (whereas his life dependeth upon the life of him,) Gen. 44:30
And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. Gen. 44:31
Therefore I, thy servant, will stay instead of the boy in the service of my lord, and let the boy go up with his brethren. Gen. 44:33
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians, and all the house of Pharao heard. Gen. 45:2
And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: Is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear. Gen. 45:3
Not by your counsel was I sent hither, but by the will of God: who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of his whole house, and governor in all the land of Egypt. Gen. 45:8
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck. Gen. 45:14
And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him. Gen. 45:15
And it was heard, and the fame was spread abroad in the king's court: The brethren of Joseph are come; and Pharao with all his family was glad. Gen. 45:16
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan, Gen. 45:17
Sending to his father as much money and raiment; adding besides, ten he-asses, to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she-asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey. Gen. 45:23
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way. Gen. 45:24
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived, Gen. 45:27
¤ And Israel taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there to the God of his father Isaac, Gen. 46:1
I will go down with thee thither, and will bring thee back again from thence: Joseph also shall put his hands upon thy eyes. Gen. 46:4
And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath: and his sons took him up, with their children and wives in the wagons, which Pharao had sent to carry the old man, Gen. 46:5
And all that he had in the land of Chanaan: and he came into Egypt with all his seed; Gen. 46:6
His sons, and grandsons, daughters, and all his offspring together. Gen. 46:7
And these are the names of the children of Israel, that entered into Egypt, he and his children. His firstborn Ruben, Gen. 46:8
These are the sons of Lia, whom she bore in Mesopotamia of Syria, with Dina, his daughter. All the souls of her sons and daughters, thirty-three. Gen. 46:15
These are the sons of Zelpha, whom Laban gave to Lia, his daughter. And these she bore to Jacob, sixteen souls. Gen. 46:18
These are the sons of Bala, whom Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter: and these she bore to Jacob: all the souls, seven. Gen. 46:25
All the souls that went with Jacob into Egypt, and that came out of his thigh, besides his sons' wives, sixty-six. Gen. 46:26
And when he was come thither, Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet his father in the same place: and seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and embracing him, wept. Gen. 46:29
And Joseph said to his brethren, and to all his father's house: I will go up, and will tell Pharao, and will say to him: My brethren, and my father's house, that were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me: Gen. 46:31
Five men also, the last of his brethren, he presented before the king: Gen. 47:2
After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him. Gen. 47:7
But Joseph gave a possession to his father and his brethren in Egypt, in the best place of the land, in Ramesses, as Pharao had commanded. Gen. 47:11
And he nourished them, and all his father's house, allowing food to every one. Gen. 47:12
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao's hands: Gen. 47:20
And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years. Gen. 47:28
And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt. Gen. 47:29
¤ After these things, it was told Joseph that his father was sick; and he set out to go to him, taking his two sons Manasses and Ephraim. Gen. 48:1
And it was told the old man: Behold thy son Joseph cometh to thee. And being strengthened, he sat on his bed. Gen. 48:2
Then seeing his sons, he said to him: Who are these? Gen. 48:8
For Israel's eyes were dim by reason of his great age, and he could not see clearly. And when they were brought to him, he kissed and embraced them, Gen. 48:10
And said to his son: I am not deprived of seeing thee; moreover God hath shewn me thy seed. Gen. 48:11
And when Joseph had taken them from his father's lap, he bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen. 48:12
And he set Ephraim on his right hand, that is, towards the left hand of Israel; but Manasses on his left hand, to wit, towards his father's right hand, and brought them near to him. Gen. 48:13
But he, stretching forth his right hand, put it upon the head of Ephraim, the younger brother; and the left upon the head of Manasses, who was the elder, changing his hands. Gen. 48:14
And Joseph seeing that his father had put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, was much displeased: and taking his father's hand, he tried to lift it from Ephraim's head, and to remove it to the head of Manasses. Gen. 48:17
And he said to his father: It should not be so, my father; for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon his head. Gen. 48:18
But he refusing, said: I know, my son, I know: and this also shall become a people, and shall be multiplied; but his younger brother shall be greater than he; and his seed shall grow into nations. Gen. 48:19
And he said to Joseph, his son: Behold I die, and God will be with you, and will bring you back into the land of your fathers. Gen. 48:21
¤ And Jacob called his sons, and said to them: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you the things that shall befall you in the last days. Gen. 49:1
Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed, and didst defile his couch. Gen. 49:4
The sceptre shall not be taken away from Juda, nor a ruler from his thigh, till he come that is to be sent, and he shall be the expectation of nations. Gen. 49:10
Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. He shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape. Gen. 49:11
His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. Gen. 49:12
He saw rest that it was good: and the land that it was excellent: and he bowed his shoulder to carry, and became a servant under tribute. Gen. 49:15
Dan shall judge his people like another tribe in Israel. Gen. 49:16
Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse's heels, that his rider may fall backward. Gen. 49:17
Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings. Gen. 49:20
His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, the stone of Israel. Gen. 49:24
The blessings of thy father are strengthened with the blessings of his fathers: until the desire of the everlasting hills should come: may they be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren. Gen. 49:26
There they buried him, and Sara his wife: there was Isaac buried with Rebecca, his wife: there also Lia doth lie buried. Gen. 49:31
And when he had ended the commandments, wherewith he instructed his sons, he drew up his feet upon the bed, and died: and he was gathered to his people. Gen. 49:33
¤ And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father's face, weeping and kissing him. Gen. 50:1
And he commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father. Gen. 50:2
And while they were fulfilling his commands, there passed forty days: for this was the manner with bodies that were embalmed, and Egypt mourned for him seventy days. Gen. 50:3
And the house of Joseph with his brethren, except their children, and their flocks and herds, which they left in the land of Gessen. Gen. 50:8
He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company. Gen. 50:9

And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac; insomuch, that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot, Judg. 4:15

And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us out of Egypt but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hand of Madian. Judg. 6:13
The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight. Judg. 6:21
Then Gedeon, taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night. Judg. 6:27
And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove. Judg. 6:30
He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. Judg. 6:31
From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joas had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. Judg. 6:32
And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies' camp. And he went down with Phara his servant, into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms. Judg. 7:11
And when Gedeon was come, one told his neighbour a dream: and in this manner related what he had seen: I dreamt a dream, and it seemed to me as if a hearth cake of barley bread rolled and came down into the camp of Madian: and when it was come to a tent, it struck it, and beat it down flat to the ground. Judg. 7:13
He to whom he spoke, answered: This is nothing else but the sword of Gedeon, the son of Joas, a man of Israel. For the Lord hath delivered Madian, and all their camp into his hand. Judg. 7:14
Standing every man in his place round about the enemies' camp. So all the camp was troubled, and crying out and howling, they fled away: Judg. 7:21

And Zebee and Salmana said: Do thou rise and run upon us: because the strength of a man is according to his age: Gedeon rose up, and slew Zebee and Salmana: and he took the ornaments and bosses, with which the necks of the camels of kings are wont to be adorned. Judg. 8:21
And Gedeon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city Ephra. And all Israel committed fornication with it, and it became a ruin to Gedeon, and to all his house. Judg. 8:27
So Jerobaal, the son of Joas, went and dwelt in his own house: Judg. 8:29
And he had seventy sons, who came out of his thigh, for he had many wives. Judg. 8:30
And his concubine, that he had in Sichem, bore him a son, whose name was Abimelech. Judg. 8:31
And Gedeon, the son of Joas died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father, in Ephra, of the family of Ezri. Judg. 8:32
¤ And Abimelech, the son of Jerobaal, went to Sichem, to his mother's brethren, and spoke to them, and to all the kindred of his mother's father, saying: Judg. 9:1
And his mother's brethren spoke of him to all the men of Sichem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying: He is our brother: Judg. 9:3
And he came to his father's house in Ephra, and slew his brethren, the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham, the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden. Judg. 9:5
This being told to Joatham, he went, and stood on the top of Mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you. Judg. 9:7
Now, therefore, if you have done well, and without sin, in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him who fought for you, Judg. 9:16
And exposed his life to dangers, to deliver you from the hand of Madian, Judg. 9:17
And you are now risen up against my father's house, and have killed his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother: Judg. 9:18
If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault, with Jerobaal and his house, rejoice ye, this day, in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you. Judg. 9:19
And when he had said thus, he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech, his brother. Judg. 9:21
And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech. Judg. 9:25
And Gaal, the son of Obed, came with his brethren, and went over to Sichem. And the inhabitants of Sichem, taking courage at his coming, Judg. 9:26
And Gaal, the son of Obed, cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul, his servant, ruler over the men of Emor, the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him? Judg. 9:28
And sent messengers privately to Abimelech, saying: Behold, Gaal, the son of Obed, is come into Sichem with his brethren, and endeavoureth to set the city against thee. Judg. 9:31
And betimes in the morning, at sun rising, set upon the city, and when he shall come out against thee, with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able. Judg. 9:33
Abimelech, therefore, arose with all his army, by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places. Judg. 9:34
And Gaal, the son of Obed, went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and all his army with him, from the places of the ambushes. Judg. 9:35
Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city: Judg. 9:40
And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions, out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it. Judg. 9:41
And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose, and set upon them, Judg. 9:43
With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field. Judg. 9:44
Went up into mount Selmon, he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder, and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do ye out of hand. Judg. 9:48
Then Abimelech, departing from thence, came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army. Judg. 9:50
And behold, a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull. Judg. 9:53
And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him. Judg. 9:54
And God repaid the evil that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren. Judg. 9:56
Having thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day, in the land of Galaad. Judg. 10:4
¤ There was at that time Jephte, the Galaadite, a most valiant man, and a warrior, the son of a woman that was a harlot, and his father was Galaad. Judg. 11:1
Jephte therefore went with the princes of Galaad, and all the people made him their prince. And Jephte spoke all his words before the Lord in Maspha. Judg. 11:11
And he sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, to say in his name: What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me, to waste my land? Judg. 11:12
And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying: Suffer me to pass through thy land. But he would not condescend to his request. He sent also to the king of Moab, who, likewise, refused to give him passage. He abode, therefore, in Cades, Judg. 11:17
But he, also despising the words of Israel, suffered him not to pass through his borders: but gathering an infinite multitude, went out against him to Jasa, and made strong opposition. Judg. 11:20
And the Lord delivered him, with all his army, into the hands of Israel, and he slew him, and possessed all the land of the Amorrhite, the inhabitant of that country, Judg. 11:21
So the Lord, the God of Israel, destroyed the Amorrhite, his people of Israel fighting against him, and wilt thou now possess this land? Judg. 11:23
And Jephte passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hands. Judg. 11:32
And when Jephte returned into Maspha, to his house, his only daughter met him with timbrels and with dances: for he had no other children. Judg. 11:34
And when he saw her, he rent his garments, and said: Alas! my daughter, thou hast deceived me, and thou thyself art deceived: for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do no other thing. Judg. 11:35
And Jephte, the Galaadite, judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad. Judg. 12:7
He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons, of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years: Judg. 12:9
Now there was a certain man of Saraa, and of the race of Dan, whose name was Manue, and his wife was barren. Judg. 13:2
Because thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines. Judg. 13:5
But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother's womb until the day of his death. Judg. 13:7
And the Lord heard the prayer of Manue, and the angel of the Lord appeared again to his wife, as she was sitting in the field. But Manue her husband was not with her. And when she saw the angel, Judg. 13:9
He rose up, and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am. Judg. 13:11
Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on. Judg. 13:19
And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended also in the flame. And when Manue and his wife saw this, they fell flat on the ground; Judg. 13:20
And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God. Judg. 13:22
And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands; neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come. Judg. 13:23
And she bore a son, and called his name Samson. And the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. Judg. 13:24
He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife. Judg. 14:2
And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me; for she hath pleased my eyes. Judg. 14:3
Now his parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. Judg. 14:4
Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Thamnatha. And when they were come to the vineyards of the town, behold a young lion met him, raging and roaring. Judg. 14:5
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell this to his father and mother. Judg. 14:6
And he went down, and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes. Judg. 14:7
And when he had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion. Judg. 14:9
So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used to do. Judg. 14:10
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men whose garments he took away, and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry, he went up to his father's house: Judg. 14:19
But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband. Judg. 14:20
¤ And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber, as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying: Judg. 15:1
Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson, the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father. Judg. 15:6
And when he had ended these words, singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone. Judg. 15:17
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass and waters issued out of it. And when he had drunk them, he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day. Judg. 15:19
But Samson slept till midnight, and then rising, he took both the doors of the gate, with the posts thereof and the bolt, and laying them on his shoulders, carried them up to the top of the hill, which looketh towards Hebron. Judg. 16:3
And the princes of the Philistines came to her, and said: Deceive him, and learn of him wherein his great strength lieth, and how we may be able to overcome him, to bind and afflict him: which if thou shalt do, we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. Judg. 16:5
Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber, expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength lay. Judg. 16:9
And when Dalila had done this, she said to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking out of his sleep, he drew out the nail with the hairs and the lace. Judg. 16:14
And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even unto death. Judg. 16:16
Then seeing that he had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up, taking with them the money which they had promised. Judg. 16:18
But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from him. Judg. 16:19
And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was departed from him. Judg. 16:20
Then the Philistines seized upon him, and forthwith pulled out his eyes, and led him bound in chains to Gaza, and shutting him up in prison made him grind. Judg. 16:21
And now his hair began to grow again, Judg. 16:22
And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little. Judg. 16:26
And laying hold on both the pillars on which the house rested, and holding the one with his right hand, and the other with his left, Judg. 16:29
He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude, that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life. Judg. 16:30
And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol, in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he judged Israel twenty years. Judg. 16:31
Who said to his mother: The eleven hundred pieces of silver, which thou hadst put aside for thyself, and concerning which thou didst swear in my hearing, behold I have, and they are with me. And she said to him. Blessed be my son by the Lord. Judg. 17:2
So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god; so now I deliver it to thee. Judg. 17:3
And he restored them to his mother: and she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, to make of them a graven and a molten God, which was in the house of Michas. Judg. 17:4
And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest. Judg. 17:5
Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas, Judg. 17:8
He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons. Judg. 17:11
And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him for his priest, saying: Judg. 17:12
He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest. Judg. 18:4
And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house. Judg. 18:26
And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity. Judg. 18:30
And her husband followed her, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father's house. And when his father in law had heard this, and had seen him, he met him with joy, Judg. 19:3
And embraced the man. And the son in law tarried in the house of his father in law three days, eating with him and drinking familiarly. Judg. 19:4
But on the fourth day, arising early in the morning, he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart. Judg. 19:5
And they sat down together, and ate and drank. And the father of the young woman said to his son in law: I beseech thee to stay here to day, and let us make merry together. Judg. 19:6
But he rising up, began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him. Judg. 19:7
But when morning was come, the Levite prepared to go on his journey. And his father in law said to him again: I beseech thee to take a little meat, and strengthening thyself, till the day be farther advanced, afterwards thou mayest depart. And they ate together. Judg. 19:8
And the young man arose to set forward with his wife and servant. And his father in law spoke to him again: Consider that the day is declining, and draweth toward evening: tarry with me to day also, and spend the day in mirth, and to morrow thou shalt depart, that thou mayest go into thy house. Judg. 19:9
His son in law would not consent to his words: but forthwith went forward, and came over against Jebus, which by another name is called Jerusalem, leading with him two asses laden, and his concubine. Judg. 19:10
And now they were come near Jebus, and the day was far spent: and the servant said to his master: Come, I beseech thee, let us turn into the city of the Jebusites, and lodge there. Judg. 19:11
His master answered him: I will not go into the town of another nation, who are not of the children of Israel, but I will pass over to Gabaa: Judg. 19:12
And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini. Judg. 19:16
And the old man lifting up his eyes, saw the man sitting with his bundles in the street of the city, and said to him: Whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? Judg. 19:17
He answered him: We came out from Bethlehem Juda, and we are going to our home, which is on the side of mount Ephraim, from whence we went to Bethlehem: and now we go to the house of God, and none will receive us under his roof: Judg. 19:18
And he brought him into his house, and gave provender to his asses: and after they had washed their feet, he entertained them with a feast. Judg. 19:21
They would not be satisfied with his words; which the man seeing, brought out his concubine to them, and abandoned her to their wickedness: and when they had abused her all the night, they let her go in the morning. Judg. 19:25
And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door, that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold. Judg. 19:27
He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going. But as she made no answer, perceiving she was dead, he took her up, and laid her upon his ass, and returned to his house. Judg. 19:28
And when he was come home, he took a sword, and divided the dead body of his wife with her bones into twelve parts, and sent the pieces into all the borders of Israel. Judg. 19:29
And all the people standing, answered as by the voice of one man: We will not return to our tents, neither shall any one of us go into his own house: Judg. 20:8
¤ Now the children of Israel had also sworn in Maspha, saying: None of us shall give of his daughters to the children of Benjamin to wife. Judg. 21:1
For as to our own daughters we cannot give them, being bound with an oath and a curse, whereby we said: Cursed be he that shall give Benjamin any of his daughters to wife. Judg. 21:18
And when you shall see the daughters of Silo come out, as the custom is, to dance, come ye on a sudden out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife among them, and go into the land of Benjamin. Judg. 21:21
And the children of Benjamin did as they had been commanded: and, according to their number, they carried off for themselves every man his wife of them that were dancing: and they went into their possession, and built up their cities, and dwelt in them. Judg. 21:23
‡ ¤ In the days of the judges, when the judges ruled, there came a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Juda, went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons. Ruth 1:1
He was named Elimelech, and his wife Noemi: and his two sons, the one Mahalon, and the other Chelion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Juda. And entering into the country of Moab, they abode there. Ruth 1:2
And she arose to go from the land of Moab to her own country, with both her daughters in law: for she had heard that the Lord had looked upon his people, and had given them food. Ruth 1:6
And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not: Ruth 2:15
And Ruth said: He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped. Ruth 2:21
And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man's field some one may resist thee. Ruth 2:22
And when he shall go to sleep, mark the place wherein he sleepeth: and thou shalt go in, and lift up the clothes wherewith he is covered towards his feet, and shalt lay thyself down there: and he will tell thee what thou must do. Ruth 3:4
And when Booz had eaten, and drunk, and was merry, he went to sleep by the heap of sheaves, and she came softly, and uncovering his feet, laid herself down. Ruth 3:7
And behold, when it was now midnight the man was afraid, and troubled: and he saw a woman lying at his feet, Ruth 3:8
So she slept at his feet till the night was going off. And she arose before men could know one another, and Booz said: Beware lest any man know that thou camest hither. Ruth 3:14
¤ Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down. Ruth 4:1
And Booz said to him: When thou shalt buy the field at the woman's hand, thou must take also Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of the deceased: to raise up the name of thy kinsman in his inheritance. Ruth 4:5
Now this in former times was the manner in Israel between kinsmen, that if at any time one yielded his right to another: that the grant might be sure, the man put off his shoe and gave it to his neighbour; this was a testimony of cession of right in Israel. Ruth 4:7
So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot. Ruth 4:8
And have taken to wife Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of Mahalon, to raise up the name of the deceased in his inheritance lest his name be cut off, from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing. Ruth 4:10
And the women said to Noemi: Blessed be the Lord, who hath not suffered thy family to want a successor: that his name should be preserved in Israel. Ruth 4:14
And the women, her neighbours, congratulating with her, and saying, There is a son born to Noemi, called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David. Ruth 4:17
‡ ¤ There was a man of Ramathaimsophim, of Mount Ephraim, and his name was Elcana, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliu, the son of Thohu, the son of Suph, an Ephraimite: 1 Ki. 1:1
And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord. 1 Ki. 1:3
Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna, his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions: 1 Ki. 1:4
And she made a vow, saying: O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a manchild: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head. 1 Ki. 1:11
And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha. And Elcana knew Anna his wife: And the Lord remembered her. 1 Ki. 1:19
And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord. 1 Ki. 1:20
And Elcana, her husband, went up, and all his house, to offer to the Lord the solemn sacrifice, and his vow. 1 Ki. 1:21
And Elcana, her husband, said to her: Do what seemeth good to thee, and stay till thou wean him: and I pray that the Lord may fulfil his word. So the woman stayed at home, and gave her son suck, till she weaned him. 1 Ki. 1:23
Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said: 1 Ki. 1:28
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; because no man shall prevail by his own strength. 1 Ki. 2:9
The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens: The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ. 1 Ki. 2:10
And Elcana went to Ramatha, to his house: but the child ministered in the sight of the Lord before the face of Heli the priest. 1 Ki. 2:11
Nor the office of the priests to the people: but whosoever had offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest came, while the flesh was in boiling, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand, 1 Ki. 2:13
And his mother made him a little coat, which she brought to him on the appointed days, when she went up with her husband, to offer the solemn sacrifice. 1 Ki. 2:19
And Heli blessed Elcana and his wife: and he said to him: The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for the loan thou hast lent to the Lord. And they went to their own home. 1 Ki. 2:20
Now Heli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel: and how they lay with the women that waited at the door of the tabernacle: 1 Ki. 2:22
If one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them. 1 Ki. 2:25
And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see: 1 Ki. 3:2
And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. 1 Ki. 3:9
And the Lord said to Samuel: Behold I do a thing in Israel: and whosoever shall hear it, both his ears shall tingle. 1 Ki. 3:11
In that day I will raise up against Heli all the things I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin, and I will make an end. 1 Ki. 3:12
For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them. 1 Ki. 3:13
Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever. 1 Ki. 3:14
So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight. 1 Ki. 3:18
And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and not one of his words fell to the ground. 1 Ki. 3:19
So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 1 Ki. 4:10
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust. 1 Ki. 4:12
And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way, watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out. 1 Ki. 4:13
Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see. 1 Ki. 4:15
And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: And he judged Israel forty years. 1 Ki. 4:18
And his daughter in law, the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden. 1 Ki. 4:19
And when the Azotians arose early the next day, behold Dagon lay upon his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord: and they took Dagon, and set him again in his place. 1 Ki. 5:3
And the next day again, when they rose in the morning, they found Dagon lying upon his face on the earth before the ark of the Lord: and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, were cut off upon the threshold: 1 Ki. 5:4
And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon, our god. 1 Ki. 5:7
If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you. 1 Ki. 6:3
According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice, that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land. 1 Ki. 6:5
And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts, towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance. 1 Ki. 6:9
¤ And the men of Cariathiarim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and carried it into the house of Abinadab, in Gabaa: and they sanctified Eleazar, his son, to keep the ark of the Lord. 1 Ki. 7:1
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life: 1 Ki. 7:15
And he returned to Ramatha: for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord. 1 Ki. 7:17
¤ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. 1 Ki. 8:1
Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee. 1 Ki. 8:2
And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. 1 Ki. 8:3
And said: This will be the right of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen, to run before his chariots, 1 Ki. 8:11
And he will appoint of them to be his tribunes, and his centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots. 1 Ki. 8:12
Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers. 1 Ki. 8:13
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants. 1 Ki. 8:14
Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give to his eunuchs and servants. 1 Ki. 8:15
Your servants also, and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, he will take away, and put them to his work. 1 Ki. 8:16
Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants. 1 Ki. 8:17
And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go to his city. 1 Ki. 8:22
And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people. 1 Ki. 9:2
And the asses of Cis, Saul's father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through Mount Ephraim, 1 Ki. 9:3
And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all. 1 Ki. 9:7
And Saul said to his servant: Thy word is very good, come let us go. And they went into the city, where the man of God was. 1 Ki. 9:10
Then Samuel taking Saul, and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men. 1 Ki. 9:22
¤ And Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said: Behold, the Lord hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance, and thou shalt deliver his people out of the hands of their enemies, that are round about them. And this shall be a sign unto thee, that God hath anointed thee to be prince. 1 Ki. 10:1
So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day. 1 Ki. 10:9
And Saul's uncle said to him, and to his servant: Whither went you? They answered: To seek the asses: and not finding them, we went to Samuel. 1 Ki. 10:14
And his uncle said to him: Tell me what Samuel said to thee. 1 Ki. 10:15
And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not. 1 Ki. 10:16
And Samuel told the people the law of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, every one to his own house. 1 Ki. 10:25
Saul also departed to his own house in Gabaa: and there went with him a part of the army, whose hearts God had touched. 1 Ki. 10:26
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled. 1 Ki. 11:6
And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel, by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man. 1 Ki. 11:7
Speak of me before the Lord, and before his anointed, whether I have taken any man's ox, or ass: if I have wronged any man, if I have oppressed any man, if I have taken a bribe at any man's hand: and I will despise it this day, and will restore it to you. 1 Ki. 12:3
And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness. 1 Ki. 12:5
If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord: then shall both you, and the king who reigneth over you, be followers of the Lord your God. 1 Ki. 12:14
But if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but will rebel against his words, the hand of the Lord shall be upon you, and upon your fathers. 1 Ki. 12:15
And the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because the Lord hath sworn to make you his people. 1 Ki. 12:22
But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded. 1 Ki. 13:14
And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: But the Philistines encamped in Machmas. 1 Ki. 13:16
So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake. 1 Ki. 13:20
And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son. 1 Ki. 13:22
¤ Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father. 1 Ki. 14:1
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us: because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few. 1 Ki. 14:6
And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind. 1 Ki. 14:7
And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel. 1 Ki. 14:12
And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him. 1 Ki. 14:13
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day. 1 Ki. 14:14
And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there. 1 Ki. 14:17
Then Saul, and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter. 1 Ki. 14:20
And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath. 1 Ki. 14:26
But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened. 1 Ki. 14:27
And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord, in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there. 1 Ki. 14:34
And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? this must not be: 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 delivered Jonathan, that he should not die. 1 Ki. 14:45
And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame. 1 Ki. 14:47
And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol. 1 Ki. 14:49
And the name of Saul's wife was Achinoam, the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul. 1 Ki. 14:50
¤ And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his people Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord: 1 Ki. 15:1
Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet anything that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1 Ki. 15:3
And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 1 Ki. 15:27
And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa. 1 Ki. 15:34
And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel. 1 Ki. 15:35
¤ And the Lord said to Samuel: How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, whom I have rejected from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai, the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 1 Ki. 16:1
And he said: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 1 Ki. 16:5
And the Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature: because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man seeth those things that appear, but the Lord beholdeth the heart. 1 Ki. 16:7
Isai therefore brought his seven sons before Samuel: and Samuel said to Isai: The Lord hath not chosen any one of these. 1 Ki. 16:10
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: and Samuel rose up, and went to Ramatha. 1 Ki. 16:13
Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee, will seek out a man skilful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayst bear it more easily. 1 Ki. 16:16
And Saul said to his servants: Provide me then some man that can play well, and bring him to me. 1 Ki. 16:17
And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai, the Bethlehemite, a skilful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: and the Lord is with him. 1 Ki. 16:18
And Isai took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid of the flock, and sent them by the hand of David, his son, to Saul. 1 Ki. 16:20
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him exceedingly, and made him his armourbearer. 1 Ki. 16:21
So whensoever the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, David took his harp, and played with his hand, and Saul was refreshed, and was better, for the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Ki. 16:23
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass: 1 Ki. 17:5
And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders. 1 Ki. 17:6
And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer went before him. 1 Ki. 17:7
And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab, the firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Samma: 1 Ki. 17:13
David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father's flock at Bethlehem. 1 Ki. 17:15
And Isai said to David, his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren, 1 Ki. 17:17
And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle, and asked if all things went well with his brethren. 1 Ki. 17:22
And all the Israelites, when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly. 1 Ki. 17:24
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel. 1 Ki. 17:25
Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why camest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle. 1 Ki. 17:28
And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth. 1 Ki. 17:33
And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock: 1 Ki. 17:34
And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail. 1 Ki. 17:38
And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off, 1 Ki. 17:39
And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine. 1 Ki. 17:40
And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer went before him. 1 Ki. 17:41
And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 1 Ki. 17:43
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands. 1 Ki. 17:47
And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about, struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth. 1 Ki. 17:49
And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand, 1 Ki. 17:50
He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away. 1 Ki. 17:51
And David taking the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent. 1 Ki. 17:54
And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 1 Ki. 17:57
¤ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 18:1
And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father's house. 1 Ki. 18:2
And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for he loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 18:3
And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. 1 Ki. 18:4
And the women sung as they played, and they said: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 1 Ki. 18:7
And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand, what can he have more but the kingdom? 1 Ki. 18:8
And the day after, the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand, 1 Ki. 18:10
And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice. 1 Ki. 18:11
And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. 1 Ki. 18:14
And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold, thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now, therefore be the king's son in law. 1 Ki. 18:22
And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king's son in law. 1 Ki. 18:26
And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol, his daughter, to wife. 1 Ki. 18:27
And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous. 1 Ki. 18:30
¤ And Saul spoke to Jonathan, his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David exceedingly. 1 Ki. 19:1
And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul, his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee. 1 Ki. 19:4
And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood, by killing David, who is without fault? 1 Ki. 19:5
And the war began again, and David went out, and fought against the Philistines, and defeated them with a great slaughter, and they fled from his face. 1 Ki. 19:8
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul; and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand. 1 Ki. 19:9
And Saul endeavoured to nail David to the wall with his spear. And David slipt away out of the presence of Saul: and the spear missed him, and was fastened in the wall, and David fled, and escaped that night. 1 Ki. 19:10
Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol, David's wife, had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die: 1 Ki. 19:11
And when the messengers were come in, they found an image upon the bed, and a goat skin at his head. 1 Ki. 19:16
And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets? 1 Ki. 19:24
If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem, his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all of his tribe. 1 Ki. 20:6
If he shall say: It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height. 1 Ki. 20:7
Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies. 1 Ki. 20:15
And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 20:17
And when the king sat down upon his chair, (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place appeared empty. 1 Ki. 20:25
And when the second day after the new moon was come, David's place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan, his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday, nor to day? 1 Ki. 20:27
And Jonathan answering Saul, his father, said: Why shall he die? What hath he done? 1 Ki. 20:32
And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David. 1 Ki. 20:33
So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion. 1 Ki. 20:34
And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy. 1 Ki. 20:36
And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan's boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master: 1 Ki. 20:38
Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city. 1 Ki. 20:40
And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was toward the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together; but David more. 1 Ki. 20:41
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, within the tabernacle of the Lord: and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of Saul's herdsmen. 1 Ki. 21:7
And the servants of Achis, when they saw David, said to him: Is not this David, the king of the land? Did they not sing to him in their dances, saying: Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 1 Ki. 21:11
But David laid up these words in his heart, and was exceedingly afraid at the face of Achis, the king of Geth. 1 Ki. 21:12
And he changed his countenance before them, and slipt down between their hands: and he stumbled against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard. 1 Ki. 21:13
And Achis said to his servants: You saw the man was mad: why have you brought him to me? 1 Ki. 21:14
¤ David therefore went from thence, and fled to the cave of Odollam. And when his brethren, and all his father's house, had heard of it, they went down to him thither. 1 Ki. 22:1
And Saul heard that David was seen, and the men that were with him. Now whilst Saul abode in Gabaa, and was in the wood, which is by Rama, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him, 1 Ki. 22:6
He said to his servants that stood about him: Hear me now, ye sons of Jemini: will the son of Isai give every one of you fields, and vineyards, and make you all tribunes, and centurions: 1 Ki. 22:7
Then the king sent to call for Achimelech, the priest, the son of Achitob, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king. 1 Ki. 22:11
Did I begin to day to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father's house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great. 1 Ki. 22:15
David, therefore, and his men, went to Ceila, and fought against the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter of them: and David saved the inhabitants of Ceila. 1 Ki. 23:5
And Saul commanded all the people to go down to fight against Ceila, and to besiege David and his men. 1 Ki. 23:8
Will the men of Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come down. 1 Ki. 23:11
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down, uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out. 1 Ki. 23:13
But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands. 1 Ki. 23:14
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood. 1 Ki. 23:15
And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose, and went to David, into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him: 1 Ki. 23:16
And they two made a covenant before the Lord: and David abode in the wood: but Jonathan returned to his house. 1 Ki. 23:18
Go, therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him. 1 Ki. 23:22
Consider, and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is hid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if he should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda. 1 Ki. 23:23
And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain at the right hand of Jesimon. 1 Ki. 23:24
Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. 1 Ki. 23:25
And Saul went on this side of the mountain: and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain: and David despaired of being able to escape from the face of Saul: and Saul and his men encompassed David and his men round about, to take them. 1 Ki. 23:26
Saul, therefore, took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went out to seek after David and his men, even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats. 1 Ki. 24:2
And he came to the sheepcotes which were in his way. And there was a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay hid in the inner part of the cave. 1 Ki. 24:3
And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 24:6
And David stopped his men with his words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul: but Saul, rising up out of the cave, went on his way. 1 Ki. 24:7
And when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept: 1 Ki. 24:16
For who when he hath found his enemy, will let him go well away? But the Lord reward thee for this good turn, for what thou hast done to me this day. 1 Ki. 24:19
And David swore to Saul. So Saul went home: and David and his men went up into safer places. 1 Ki. 24:22
¤ And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose, and went down into the wilderness of Pharan. 1 Ki. 25:1
Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 1 Ki. 25:2
Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman: but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb. 1 Ki. 25:3
And when David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal was shearing his sheep, 1 Ki. 25:4
Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men, and two hundred remained with the baggage. 1 Ki. 25:13
And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them. 1 Ki. 25:20
And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears, and hear the words of thy servant. 1 Ki. 25:24
Let not my lord the king, I pray thee, regard this naughty man, Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I, thy handmaid, did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest. 1 Ki. 25:25
And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king: and Nabal's heart was merry, for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning. 1 Ki. 25:36
But early in the morning, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 1 Ki. 25:37
And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife. 1 Ki. 25:39
And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife. 1 Ki. 25:42
Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives. 1 Ki. 25:43
But Saul gave Michol, his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallim. 1 Ki. 25:44
And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him, 1 Ki. 26:5
So David and Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying and sleeping in the tent, and his spear fixed in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people sleeping round about him. 1 Ki. 26:7
And David said to Abisai: Kill him not: for who shall put forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and shall be guiltless? 1 Ki. 26:9
And David said: As the Lord liveth, unless the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down to battle, and perish: 1 Ki. 26:10
The Lord be merciful unto me, and keep me that I never put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed. But now take the spear which is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go. 1 Ki. 26:11
This thing is not good, that thou hast done: as the Lord liveth, you are the sons of death, who have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And now where is the king's spear, and the cup of water, which was at his head? 1 Ki. 26:16
And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand? 1 Ki. 26:18
And the Lord will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 26:23
Then Saul said to David: Blessed art thou, my son David: and truly doing thou shalt do, and prevailing thou shalt prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. 1 Ki. 26:25
¤ And David said in his heart: I shall one day or other fall into the hands of Saul: is it not better for me to flee, and to be saved in the land of the Philistines, that Saul may despair of me, and cease to seek me in all the coasts of Israel? I will flee then out of his hands. 1 Ki. 27:1
And David dwelt with Achis at Geth, he and his men; every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Achinoam, the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. 1 Ki. 27:3
And David and his men went up, and pillaged Gessuri, and Gerzi, and the Amalecites: for these were of old the inhabitants of the countries, as men go to Sur, even to the land of Egypt. 1 Ki. 27:8
And David saved neither man nor woman, neither brought he any of them to Geth, saying: Lest they should speak against us. So did David, and such was his proceeding all the days that he dwelt in the country of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 27:11
And Achis believed David, saying: He hath done much harm to his people Israel: Therefore he shall be my servant for ever. 1 Ki. 27:12
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha, his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of the land. 1 Ki. 28:3
And Saul saw the army of the Philistines, and was afraid, and his heart was very much dismayed. 1 Ki. 28:5
And Saul said to his servants: Seek me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and enquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath a divining spirit at Endor. 1 Ki. 28:7
And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored. 1 Ki. 28:14
Because thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, neither didst thou execute the wrath of his indignation upon Amalec. Therefore hath the Lord done to thee what thou sufferest this day. 1 Ki. 28:18
But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground, and sat upon the bed. 1 Ki. 28:23
And set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night. 1 Ki. 28:25
And the lords of the Philistines marched with their hundreds and their thousands: but David and his men were in the rear with Achis. 1 Ki. 29:2
But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him, and they said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he otherwise appease his master, but with our heads? 1 Ki. 29:4
Is not this David, to whom they sung in their dances, saying: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 1 Ki. 29:5
So David and his men arose in the night, that they might set forward in the morning, and returned to the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrahel. 1 Ki. 29:11
¤ Now when David and his men were come to Siceleg on the third day, the Amalecites had made an invasion on the south side upon Siceleg, and had smitten Siceleg, and burnt it with fire, 1 Ki. 30:1
So when David and his men came to the city, and found it burnt with fire, and that their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives, 1 Ki. 30:3
And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God. 1 Ki. 30:6
As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water, three days and three nights. 1 Ki. 30:12
So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives. 1 Ki. 30:18
Then all the wicked and unjust men, that had gone with David, answering, said: Because they came not with us, we will not give them any thing of the prey which we have recovered: but let every man take his wife, and his children, and be contented with them, and go his way. 1 Ki. 30:22
Then David came to Siceleg, and sent presents of the prey to the ancients of Juda, his neighbours, saying: Receive a blessing of the prey of the enemies of the Lord. 1 Ki. 30:26
And that were in Hebron, and to the rest that were in those places, in which David had abode with his men. 1 Ki. 30:31
And the Philistines fell upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua, the sons of Saul. 1 Ki. 31:2
Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 1 Ki. 31:4
And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. 1 Ki. 31:5
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men that same day together. 1 Ki. 31:6
And the men of Israel, that were beyond the valley, and beyond the Jordan, seeing that the Israelites were fled, and that Saul was dead, and his sons, forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt there. 1 Ki. 31:7
And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe. 1 Ki. 31:8
And they cut off Saul's head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols and among their people. 1 Ki. 31:9
And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan. 1 Ki. 31:10
All the most valiant men arose, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Bethsan: and they came to Jabes Galaad, and burnt them there. 1 Ki. 31:12
And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored. 2 Ki. 1:2
And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me: He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain. 2 Ki. 1:4
And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead? 2 Ki. 1:5
And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him, 2 Ki. 1:6
So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to thee, my lord. 2 Ki. 1:10
Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him. 2 Ki. 1:11
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword. 2 Ki. 1:12
And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died. 2 Ki. 1:15
And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son. 2 Ki. 1:17
So David went up, and his two wives Achinoam the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel: 2 Ki. 2:2
And the men also that were with him, David brought up every man with his household: and they abode in the towns of Hebron. 2 Ki. 2:3
And every one catching his fellow by the head, thrust his sword into the side of his adversary, and they fell down together: and the name of the place was called: The field of the valiant, in Gabaon. 2 Ki. 2:16
And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave off following him close. 2 Ki. 2:21
But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still. 2 Ki. 2:23
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plains: and they passed the Jordan, and having gone through all Beth-horon, came to the camp. 2 Ki. 2:29
And they took Asael, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father in Bethlehem and Joab, and the men that were with him, marched all the night, and they came to Hebron at break of day. 2 Ki. 2:32
And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Ammon of Achinoam the Jezrahelitess: 2 Ki. 3:2
And his second Cheleab of Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel: and the third Absalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmai king of Gessur: 2 Ki. 3:3
Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman? 2 Ki. 3:8
And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him. 2 Ki. 3:20
And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David had brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace, 2 Ki. 3:21
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother. 2 Ki. 3:27
And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread. 2 Ki. 3:29
So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle. 2 Ki. 3:30
And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept. 2 Ki. 3:32
The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and a great man is slain this day in Israel? 2 Ki. 3:38
But I as yet am tender, though anointed king. And these men the sons of Sarvia are too hard for me: the Lord reward him that doth evil according to his wickedness. 2 Ki. 3:39
¤ And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled. 2 Ki. 4:1
Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin. 2 Ki. 4:2
And Jonathan the son of Saul had a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth. 2 Ki. 4:4
And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep. 2 Ki. 4:5
And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away. 2 Ki. 4:6
For when they came into the house, he was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night. 2 Ki. 4:7
And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed. 2 Ki. 4:8
But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress, 2 Ki. 4:9
The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news. 2 Ki. 4:10
How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth? 2 Ki. 4:11
And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. 2 Ki. 4:12
And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel. 2 Ki. 5:12
And they left there their idols: which David and his men took away. 2 Ki. 5:21
And when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside. 2 Ki. 6:6
And the indignation of the Lord was enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God. 2 Ki. 6:7
And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household. 2 Ki. 6:11
And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod. 2 Ki. 6:14
And he distributed to all the multitude of Israel, both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his house. 2 Ki. 6:19
And David returned to bless his own house: and Michol the daughter of Saul coming out to meet David, said: How glorious was the king of Israel to day, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and was naked, as if one of the buffoons should be naked. 2 Ki. 6:20
And David said to Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler over the people of the Lord in Israel, 2 Ki. 6:21
¤ And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies, 2 Ki. 7:1
And when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 2 Ki. 7:12
He shall build a house to my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 2 Ki. 7:13
And now, O Lord God, raise up for ever the word that thou hast spoken, concerning thy servant and concerning his house: and do as thou hast spoken, 2 Ki. 7:25
Because thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to thee. 2 Ki. 7:27
David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates. 2 Ki. 8:3
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute, and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went. 2 Ki. 8:6
And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass: 2 Ki. 8:10
And David reigned over all Israel: and David did judgment and justice to all his people. 2 Ki. 8:15
And the king said: Is there any one left of the house of Saul, that I may shew the mercy of God unto Him? And Siba said to the king: There is a son of Jonathan left, who is lame of his feet. 2 Ki. 9:3
And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said: Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant. 2 Ki. 9:6
Then the King called Siba the servant of Saul, and said to him: All that belonged to Saul, and all his house, I have given to thy master's son. 2 Ki. 9:9
¤ And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead. 2 Ki. 10:1
And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon, 2 Ki. 10:2
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it? 2 Ki. 10:3
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon. 2 Ki. 10:10
Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight. 2 Ki. 10:12
¤ And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 11:1
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: And he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful. 2 Ki. 11:2
But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house. 2 Ki. 11:9
And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house? 2 Ki. 11:10
And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house. 2 Ki. 11:13
And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord. 2 Ki. 11:27
But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter. 2 Ki. 12:3
And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man's ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 2 Ki. 12:4
Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 2 Ki. 12:9
And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of. 2 Ki. 12:15
And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them. 2 Ki. 12:17
But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him He is dead. 2 Ki. 12:19
Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate. 2 Ki. 12:20
And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread. 2 Ki. 12:21
And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him. 2 Ki. 12:24
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him. 2 Ki. 12:25
And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David's head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away. 2 Ki. 12:30
And Thamar came to the house of Ammon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes. 2 Ki. 13:8
And she was clothed with a long robe: for the king's daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her. 2 Ki. 13:18
And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Ammon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn. 2 Ki. 13:21
But Absalom spoke not to Ammon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Ammon because he had ravished his sister Thamar. 2 Ki. 13:22
And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant. 2 Ki. 13:24
And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Ammon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men. 2 Ki. 13:28
And the servants of Absalom did to Ammon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king's sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled. 2 Ki. 13:29
Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments. 2 Ki. 13:31
But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Ammon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar. 2 Ki. 13:32
Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king's sons are slain: for Ammon only is dead. 2 Ki. 13:33
But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain. 2 Ki. 13:34
And when he made an end of speaking, the king's sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much. 2 Ki. 13:36
But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day. 2 Ki. 13:37
And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth. 2 Ki. 14:7
And the woman of Thecua said to the king: Upon me, my lord be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father: but may the king and his throne be guiltless. 2 Ki. 14:9
And she said: Let the king remember the Lord his God, that the next of kin be not multiplied to take revenge, and that they may not kill my son. And he said: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 2 Ki. 14:11
And the woman said: Why hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God, and why hath the king spoken this word, to sin, and not bring home again his own exile? 2 Ki. 14:13
Now therefore I am come, to speak this word to my lord the king before the people. And thy handmaid said: I will speak to the king, it maybe the king will perform the request of his handmaid. 2 Ki. 14:15
And the king hath hearkened to me to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of all that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 2 Ki. 14:16
And Joab falling down to the ground upon his face, adored, and blessed the king: and Joab said: This day thy servant hath understood, that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king: for thou hast fulfilled the request of thy servant. 2 Ki. 14:22
But the king said: Let him return into his house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned into his house, and saw not the king's face. 2 Ki. 14:24
But in all Israel there was not a man so comely, and so exceedingly beautiful as Absalom: from the sole of the foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 2 Ki. 14:25
And when he polled his hair (now he was polled once a year, because his hair was burdensome to him) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred sicles, according to the common weight. 2 Ki. 14:26
He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab's servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire. 2 Ki. 14:30
Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said: Why have thy servants set my corn on fire? 2 Ki. 14:31
Moreover when any man came to him to salute him, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 2 Ki. 15:5
Absalom also sent for Achitophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city Gilo. And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased with Absalom. 2 Ki. 15:12
And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 2 Ki. 15:14
And the king went forth, and all his household on foot: and the king left ten women his concubines to keep the house: 2 Ki. 15:16
And all his servants walked by him, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the Gethites, valiant warriors, six hundred men who had followed him from Geth on foot, went before the king. 2 Ki. 15:18
And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle. 2 Ki. 15:25
But David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, going up and weeping, walking barefoot, and with his head covered, and all the people that were with them, went up with their heads covered weeping. 2 Ki. 15:30
And when David was come to the top of the mountain, where he was about to adore the Lord, behold Chusai the Arachite, came to meet him with his garment rent and his head covered with earth. 2 Ki. 15:32
The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood. 2 Ki. 16:8
And Abisai the son of Sarvia said to the king: Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I will go, and cut off his head. 2 Ki. 16:9
And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him. 2 Ki. 16:11
And David and his men with him went by the way. And Semei by the hill's side went over against him, cursing, and casting stones at him, and scattering earth. 2 Ki. 16:13
But Absalom and all his people came into Jerusalem, and Achitophel was with him. 2 Ki. 16:15
And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide. 2 Ki. 16:18
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel. 2 Ki. 16:22
And his saying pleased Absalom, and all the ancients of Israel. 2 Ki. 17:4
But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it. 2 Ki. 17:18
But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 2 Ki. 17:23
¤ And David, having reviewed his people, appointed over them captains of thousands and of hundreds, 2 Ki. 18:1
And it happened that Absalom met the servants of David, riding on a mule: and as the mule went under a thick and large oak, his head stuck in the oak: and while he hung between the heaven and the earth, the mule on which he rode passed on. 2 Ki. 18:9
And Joab said: Not as thou wilt, but I will set upon him in thy sight. So he took three lances in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Absalom: and whilst he yet panted for life, sticking on the oak, 2 Ki. 18:14
Now Absalom had reared up for himself, in his lifetime, a pillar, which is in the king's valley: for he said: I have no son, and this shall be the monument of my name. And he called the pillar by his own name, and it is called the hand of Absalom, to this day. 2 Ki. 18:18
And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said: I will run and tell the king, that the Lord hath done judgment for him from the hand of his enemies. 2 Ki. 18:19
And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman that was on the top of the gate upon the wall, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running alone. 2 Ki. 18:24
And crying out he told the king: and the king said: If he be alone, there are good tidings in his mouth. And as he was coming apace, and drawing nearer, 2 Ki. 18:25
And Achimaas crying out, said to the king: God save thee, O king. And falling down before the king with his face to the ground, he said: Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath shut up the men that have lifted up their hands against the lord my king. 2 Ki. 18:28
¤ And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son: 2 Ki. 19:1
And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son. 2 Ki. 19:2
And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son. 2 Ki. 19:4
And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.) 2 Ki. 19:11
With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan, 2 Ki. 19:17
They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king's household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan, 2 Ki. 19:18
And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace. 2 Ki. 19:24
And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house. 2 Ki. 19:30
And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place. 2 Ki. 19:39
Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him? 2 Ki. 19:41
And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them inward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood. 2 Ki. 20:3
And when they were at the great stone which is in Gabaon, Amasa coming met them. And Joab had on a close coat of equal length with his habit, and over it was girded with a sword hanging down to his flank, in a scabbard, made in such manner as to come out with the least motion and strike. 2 Ki. 20:8
And Joab said to Amasa: God save thee, my brother. And he took Amasa by the chin with his right hand to kiss him. 2 Ki. 20:9
But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri. 2 Ki. 20:10
And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might, not stop on his account. 2 Ki. 20:12
The matter is not so, but a man of mount Ephraim, Seba the son of Bochri by name, hath lifted up his hand against king David: deliver him only, and we will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab: Behold his head shall be thrown to thee from the wall. 2 Ki. 20:21
¤ And there was a famine in the days of David for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gabaonites. 2 Ki. 21:1
And the Gabaonites said to him: We have no contest about silver and gold, but against Saul and against his house: neither do we desire that any man be slain of Israel. And the king said to them: What will you then that I should do for you? 2 Ki. 21:4

And he brought from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered up the bones of them that were crucified, 2 Ki. 21:13
And they buried them with the bones of Saul, and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in the side, in the sepulchre of Cis his father: and they did all that the king had commanded, and God shewed mercy again to the land after these things. 2 Ki. 21:14

And the overflowings of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid open at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of the spirit of his wrath. 2 Ki. 22:16
For all his judgments are in my sight: and his precepts I have not removed from me. 2 Ki. 22:23

And Areuna looked, and saw the king and his servants coming towards him: 2 Ki. 24:20
And going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease. 2 Ki. 24:21

Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house; 3 Ki. 8:38
Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men) 3 Ki. 8:39

Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses. 3 Ki. 8:56

And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel, day by day: 3 Ki. 8:59

This is the sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer. 3 Ki. 9:15

And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified; the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. 3 Ki. 9:19

And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the general of the army, was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country. 3 Ki. 11:21
God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Adarezer, the king of Soba. 3 Ki. 11:23
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel; and he reigned in Syria. 3 Ki. 11:25
Jeroboam also, the son of Nabat, an Ephrathite, of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king. 3 Ki. 11:26
And this is the cause of his rebellion against him; for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David, his father. 3 Ki. 11:27
And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts: 3 Ki. 11:30
Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos, the god of Moab, and Moloch, the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments, as did David, his father. 3 Ki. 11:33
Yet I will not take away all the 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, who kept my commandments, and my precepts. 3 Ki. 11:34
But I will take away the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give thee ten tribes: 3 Ki. 11:35
And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant, David, before me always in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there. 3 Ki. 11:36

But Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt. 3 Ki. 12:2
Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now, therefore, do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 3 Ki. 12:4
King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon, his father, while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people? 3 Ki. 12:6
And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat. 3 Ki. 12:15
Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem: 3 Ki. 12:18
Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren, the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them. 3 Ki. 12:24
And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David, 3 Ki. 12:26
And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went up on the altar to burn incense. 3 Ki. 12:33
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him, withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him. 3 Ki. 13:4
Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him, and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 3 Ki. 13:11
And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda. 3 Ki. 13:12
And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled it, he got up, 3 Ki. 13:13
And brought him back with him: so he ate bread, and drank water in his house. 3 Ki. 13:19
And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back. 3 Ki. 13:23
And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body. 3 Ki. 13:24
And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it, 3 Ki. 13:27
And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas, my brother. 3 Ki. 13:30
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones. 3 Ki. 13:31
After these words, Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary, he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places. 3 Ki. 13:33
And Jeroboam said to his wife: Arise, and change thy dress, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Silo, where Ahias, the prophet is, who told me that I should reign over this people. 3 Ki. 14:2
Jeroboam's wife did as he told her: and rising up, went to Silo, and came to the house of Ahias; but he could not see, for his eyes were dim by reason of his age. 3 Ki. 14:4
And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant, David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight: 3 Ki. 14:8
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, because in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 3 Ki. 14:13
And they buried him. And all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahias, the prophet. 3 Ki. 14:18
And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 14:20
And Roboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess. 3 Ki. 14:21
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them, in the city of David: and his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess: and Abiam, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 14:31
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. 3 Ki. 15:2
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 was the heart of David, his father. 3 Ki. 15:3
But for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem: 3 Ki. 15:4
Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias, the Hethite. 3 Ki. 15:5
But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life. 3 Ki. 15:6
And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 15:8
And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. 3 Ki. 15:10
And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father: 3 Ki. 15:11
And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made. 3 Ki. 15:12
Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron: 3 Ki. 15:13
But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days: 3 Ki. 15:14
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels. 3 Ki. 15:15
Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad, son of Tabremon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying: 3 Ki. 15:18
Benadad, hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth; that is all the land of Nephthali. 3 Ki. 15:20
But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 3 Ki. 15:23
And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Josaphat, his son, reigned in his place. 3 Ki. 15:24
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 15:26
So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa, king of Juda, and reigned in his place. 3 Ki. 15:28
And when he was king, he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite: 3 Ki. 15:29
And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 15:34
Behold I will cut down the posterity of Baasa, and the posterity of his house, and I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat. 3 Ki. 16:3
Him that dieth of Baasa, in the city, the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth of his in the country, the fowls of the air shall devour. 3 Ki. 16:4
But the rest of the acts of Baasa, and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:5
So Baasa slept with his fathers, and was buried in Thersa: and Ela, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 16:6
And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him; that is to say, Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet. 3 Ki. 16:7
And his servant Zambri, who was captain of half the horsemen, rebelled against him: now Ela was drinking in Thersa, and drunk in the house of Arsa, the governor of Thersa. 3 Ki. 16:9
And Zambri rushing in, struck him, and slew him, in the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda and he reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 16:10
And when he was king, and sat upon his throne, he slew all the house of Baasa, and he left not one thereof to piss against a wall and all his kinsfolks and friends. 3 Ki. 16:11
For all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Ela, his son, who sinned, and made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities. 3 Ki. 16:13
In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 16:19
But the rest of the acts of Zambri, and of his conspiracy and tyranny, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:20
And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities. 3 Ki. 16:26
And Amri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, and Achab, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 16:28
In his days Hiel, of Bethel, built Jericho: in Abiram, his firstborn, he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son, Segub, he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue, the son of Nun. 3 Ki. 16:34
And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 3 Ki. 17:19
And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord, my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body. 3 Ki. 17:21
And Elias took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber to the house below, and delivered him to his mother, and said to her: Behold thy son liveth. 3 Ki. 17:23
And Achab called Abdias the governor of his house: now Abdias feared the Lord very much. 3 Ki. 18:3
And as Abdias was in the way, Elias met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: Art thou my lord Elias? 3 Ki. 18:7
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab; and he, not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy. 3 Ki. 18:12
Achab went up to eat and drink: and Elias went up to the top of Carmel, and casting himself down upon the earth, put his face between his knees, 3 Ki. 18:42
And he said to his servant: Go up, and look towards the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said: There is nothing. And again he said to him: Return seven times. 3 Ki. 18:43
And the hand of the Lord was upon Elias, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Achab, till he came to Jezrahel. 3 Ki. 18:46
Then Elias was afraid, and rising up, he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there, 3 Ki. 19:3
And he went forward, one day's journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord; take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers. 3 Ki. 19:4
He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again. 3 Ki. 19:6
And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth, stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered: 3 Ki. 19:13
And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus, the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with, twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him. 3 Ki. 19:19
¤ And Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his host, and there were two and thirty kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and going up, he fought against Samaria, and besieged it. 3 Ki. 20:1
And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it. 3 Ki. 20:12
And they went out at noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help him. 3 Ki. 20:16
And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad, king of Syria, fled away on horseback with his horsemen. 3 Ki. 20:20
And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful; so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives. 3 Ki. 20:31
The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot. 3 Ki. 20:33
Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said to his companion, in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike. 3 Ki. 20:35
So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes. 3 Ki. 20:38
And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 3 Ki. 20:39
But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets. 3 Ki. 20:41
And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord. Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people. 3 Ki. 20:42
And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria. 3 Ki. 20:43
And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth, the Jezrahelite, had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread. 3 Ki. 21:4
And Jezabel, his wife, went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread? 3 Ki. 21:5
Then Jezabel, his wife, said to him. Thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of Israel. Arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite. 3 Ki. 21:7
So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth. 3 Ki. 21:8
And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them; 3 Ki. 21:11
Now, there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife, Jezabel, set him on, 3 Ki. 21:25
And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down. 3 Ki. 21:27
Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself, for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. 3 Ki. 21:29
(And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?) 3 Ki. 22:3
And the king of Israel, and Josaphat, king of Juda, sat each on his throne, clothed with royal robes, in a court, by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them. 3 Ki. 22:10
And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd; and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace. 3 Ki. 22:17
And he added and said: Hear thou, therefore, the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left: 3 Ki. 22:19
And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit, in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so. 3 Ki. 22:22
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take thy armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle. 3 Ki. 22:30
And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded. 3 Ki. 22:34
And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. 3 Ki. 22:35
And the herald proclaimed through all the army, before the sun set, saying: Let every man return to his own city, and to his own country. 3 Ki. 22:36
And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken. 3 Ki. 22:38
So Achab slept with his fathers; and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 22:40
He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba, the daughter of Salai. 3 Ki. 22:42
And he walked in all the way of Asa, his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless, he took not away the high places for as yet the people offered sacrifice, and burnt incense in the high places. 3 Ki. 22:43
But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 3 Ki. 22:45
And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took out of the land. 3 Ki. 22:46
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father: and Joram, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 22:50
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 22:52
He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. 3 Ki. 22:53
And Ochozias fell through the lattices of his upper chamber, which he had in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, saying to them: Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my illness. 4 Ki. 1:2
But they said: A hairy man, with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias, the Thesbite. 4 Ki. 1:8
And again he sent to him another captain of fifty men, and his fifty with him. And he said to him: Man of God: Thus saith the king: Make haste and come down. 4 Ki. 1:11
Elias answering, said: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee, and thy fifty. And fire came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 4 Ki. 1:12
Again he sent a third captain of fifty men, and the fifty that were with him. And when he was come, he fell upon his knees before Elias, and besought him, and said: Man of God, despise not my life, and the lives of thy servants that are with me. 4 Ki. 1:13
So he died, according to the word of the Lord, which Elias spoke; and Joram, his brother, reigned in his stead, in the second year of Joram, the son of Josaphat, king of Juda, because he had no son. 4 Ki. 1:17
And Elias took his mantle, and folded it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they both passed over on dry ground. 4 Ki. 2:8
And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces. 4 Ki. 2:12
And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made. 4 Ki. 3:2
And they destroyed the cities: And they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed. 4 Ki. 3:25
Then he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country. 4 Ki. 3:27
And he said to Giezi, his servant: Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him, 4 Ki. 4:12
He said to his servant: Say to her: Behold, thou hast diligently served us in all things; what wilt thou have me to do for thee? Hast thou any business, and wilt thou, that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people. 4 Ki. 4:13
And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers, 4 Ki. 4:18
He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant. Take him, and carry him to his mother. 4 Ki. 4:19
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she sat him on her knees, until noon, and then he died. 4 Ki. 4:20
So she went forward, and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel: and when the man of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi, his servant: Behold that Sunamitess. 4 Ki. 4:25
And when she came to the man of God, to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. 4 Ki. 4:27
Eliseus, therefore, went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed: 4 Ki. 4:32
And he went up, and lay upon the child: and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child's flesh grew warm. 4 Ki. 4:34
Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes. 4 Ki. 4:35
She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out. 4 Ki. 4:37
And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him: And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets. 4 Ki. 4:38
And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back, he shred them into the pot of pottage; for he knew not what it was. 4 Ki. 4:39
And a certain man came from Baalsalisa, bringing to the man of God, bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat. 4 Ki. 4:42
And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left. 4 Ki. 4:43
¤ Naaman, general of the army, of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man, and rich, but a leper. 4 Ki. 5:1
Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said the girl from the land of Israel. 4 Ki. 5:4
And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman, my servant, that thou mayst heal him of his leprosy. 4 Ki. 5:6
And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me. 4 Ki. 5:7
And when Eliseus, the man of God, had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel. 4 Ki. 5:8
So Naaman came with his horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus: 4 Ki. 5:9
Naaman was angry, and went away, saying: I thought he would have come out to me, and standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me. 4 Ki. 5:11
His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt be clean? 4 Ki. 5:13
Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child: and he was made clean. 4 Ki. 5:14
And returning to the man of God, with all his train, he came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee, therefore, take a blessing of thy servant. 4 Ki. 5:15
And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well? 4 Ki. 5:21
And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him. 4 Ki. 5:23
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither. 4 Ki. 5:25
But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back, from his chariot, to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants. 4 Ki. 5:26
And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand, and took it. 4 Ki. 6:7
And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place, let us lay an ambush. 4 Ki. 6:8
And the heart of the king of Syria, was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel? 4 Ki. 6:11
And one of his servants said: No one, my lord, O king: but Eliseus, the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber. 4 Ki. 6:12
And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus. 4 Ki. 6:17
And it came to pass, after these things, that Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. 4 Ki. 6:24
When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh. 4 Ki. 6:30
But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him. 4 Ki. 6:32
And he arose in the night, and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city. 4 Ki. 7:12
And one of his servants answered: Let us take the five horses that are remaining in the city (because there are no more in the whole multitude of Israel, for the rest are consumed), and let us send and see. 4 Ki. 7:13
And when he was departed from Eliseus he came to his master, who said to him: What said Eliseus to thee? And he answered: He told me: Thou shalt recover. 4 Ki. 8:14
And on the next day, he took a blanket, and poured water on it, and spread it upon his face: and he died, and Hazael reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 8:15
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. 4 Ki. 8:18
But the Lord would not destroy Juda, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him, to give him a light, and to his children always. 4 Ki. 8:19
In his days Edom revolted from being under Juda, and made themselves a king. 4 Ki. 8:20
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 8:24
Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri king of Israel. 4 Ki. 8:26
And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in, thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber. 4 Ki. 9:2
Then taking the little bottle of oil, thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there. 4 Ki. 9:3
And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord. 4 Ki. 9:6
Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his Lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said. 4 Ki. 9:11
Then they made haste, and taking every man his garment, laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king. 4 Ki. 9:13
And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds; for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel. 4 Ki. 9:15
And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot: and Joram, king of Israel, and Ochozias, king of Juda, went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth, the Jezrahelite. 4 Ki. 9:21
And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias. 4 Ki. 9:23
But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot. 4 Ki. 9:24
And Jehu said to Badacer, his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezrahelite: for I remember, when I and thou, sitting in a chariot, followed Achab, this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying: 4 Ki. 9:25
If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord. 4 Ki. 9:26
But Ochozias, king of Juda, seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there. 4 Ki. 9:27
And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers, in the city of David. 4 Ki. 9:28
And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel, hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window. 4 Ki. 9:30
At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master? 4 Ki. 9:31
And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him. 4 Ki. 9:32
And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias, the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel. 4 Ki. 9:36
Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for the house of your master. 4 Ki. 10:3
See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias. 4 Ki. 10:10
So Jehu slew all that were left of the house of Achab in Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till there were no remains left of him. 4 Ki. 10:11
And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot, 4 Ki. 10:15
And he said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot, 4 Ki. 10:16
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting, shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 4 Ki. 10:19
And it came to pass, when the burnt offering was ended, that Jehu commanded his soldiers and captains, saying: Go in, and kill them: let none escape. And the soldiers and captains slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them out: and they went into the city of the temple of Baal, 4 Ki. 10:25
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin. 4 Ki. 10:31
But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 4 Ki. 10:34
And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 10:35
But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas, the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia; so that he was not slain. 4 Ki. 11:2
And all the people of the land went into the temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in the house of the Lord. 4 Ki. 11:18

Now Joas the son of Joachaz, took the cities out of the hand of Benadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz, his father, by war; three times did Joas beat him, and he restored the cities to Israel. 4 Ki. 13:25
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign; and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Joadan, of Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 14:2

And when he had possession of the kingdom, he put his servants to death that had slain the king, his father. 4 Ki. 14:5

He restored the borders of Israel from the entrance of Emath, unto the sea of the wilderness, according to the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant, Jonas, the son of Amathi, the prophet, who was of Geth, which is in Opher. 4 Ki. 14:25
But the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his valour, wherewith he fought, and how he restored Damascus and Emath to Juda, in Israel, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 4 Ki. 14:28

And Azarias slept with his fathers: and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David, and Joatham, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 15:7

Now Osee, son of Ela, conspired, and formed a plot against Phacee, the son of Romelia, and struck him, and slew him: and reigned in his stead in the twentieth year of Joatham, the son of Ozias. 4 Ki. 15:30
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa, the daughter of Sadoc. 4 Ki. 15:33

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father; and Achaz, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 15:38
Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, his God, as David, his father. 4 Ki. 16:2
But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel: moreover, he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire, according to the idols of the nations which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel. 4 Ki. 16:3
And he agreed to his desire: for the king of the Assyrians went up against Damascus, and laid it waste: and he carried away the inhabitants thereof to Cyrene; but Rasin he slew. 4 Ki. 16:9
And when the king was come from Damascus, he saw the altar and worshipped it: and went up and offered holocausts, and his own sacrifice; 4 Ki. 16:12

And they rejected his ordinances, and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did. 4 Ki. 17:15
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda. 4 Ki. 17:18
And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face: 4 Ki. 17:20
Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants, the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day. 4 Ki. 17:23
Unto this day they follow the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel: 4 Ki. 17:34
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zacharias. 4 Ki. 18:2
And he did that which was good before the Lord, according to all that David, his father, had done 4 Ki. 18:3
And he stuck to the Lord, and departed not from his steps, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses. 4 Ki. 18:6
Because they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord, their God, but transgressed his covenant: all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded, they would not hear, nor do. 4 Ki. 18:12
Dost thou trust in Egypt a staff of a broken reed, upon which if a man lean, it will break and go into his hand, and pierce it? so is Pharao, king of Egypt, to all that trust in him. 4 Ki. 18:21
Do not hearken to Ezechias. For thus saith the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me: and every man of you shall eat of his own vineyard, and of his own fig tree: and you shall drink water of your own cisterns, 4 Ki. 18:31
¤ And when king Ezechias heard these words, he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. 4 Ki. 19:1
It may be the Lord, thy God, will hear all the words of Rabsaces, whom the king of the Assyrians, his master, hath sent to reproach the living God, and to reprove with words, which the Lord, thy God, hath heard: and do thou offer prayer for the remnants that are found. 4 Ki. 19:4
Behold I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message, and shall return into his own country, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own country. 4 Ki. 19:7
And he prayed in his sight, saying: O Lord God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kings of the earth: thou madest heaven and earth: 4 Ki. 19:15
Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the only God. 4 Ki. 19:19
And as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch, his god, Adramelech and Sarasar, his sons, slew him with the sword, and they fled into the land of the Armenians, and Asarhaddon, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 19:37
And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying: 4 Ki. 20:2
And Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had brought it, and laid it upon his boil, he was healed. 4 Ki. 20:7
And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed them the house of his aromatical spices, and the gold, and the silver, and divers precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Ezechias shewed them not. 4 Ki. 20:13
And the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought waters into the city, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 20:20
And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and Manasses, his son reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 20:21
¤ Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Haphsiba. 4 Ki. 21:1
And he turned, and built up the high places, which Ezechias, his father, had destroyed: and he set up altars to Baal, and made groves, as Achab, the king of Israel, had done: and he adored all the host of heaven, and served them. 4 Ki. 21:3
And he made his son pass through fire: and he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed pythons, and multiplied soothsayers, to do evil before the Lord, and to provoke him. 4 Ki. 21:6
He set also an idol of the grove, which he had made, in the temple of the Lord: concerning which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever. 4 Ki. 21:7
And the Lord spoke in the hand of his servants, the prophets, saying: 4 Ki. 21:10
Because Manasses, king of Juda, hath done these most wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorrhites did before him, and hath made Juda also to sin with his filthy doings: 4 Ki. 21:11
Therefore thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and Juda: that whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle. 4 Ki. 21:12
Moreover, Manasses shed also very much innocent blood, till he filled Jerusalem up to the mouth: besides his sins, wherewith he made Juda to sin, to do evil before the Lord. 4 Ki. 21:16
Now the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin, which he sinned, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 21:17
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Oza: and Amon, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 21:18
Two and twenty years old was Amon when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Messalemeth, the daughter of Harus, of Jeteba. 4 Ki. 21:19
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses, his father, had done. 4 Ki. 21:20
And he walked in all the way in which his father had walked: and he served the abominations which his father had served, and he adored them. 4 Ki. 21:21
And forsook the Lord, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord. 4 Ki. 21:22
And his servants plotted against him, and slew the king in his own house. 4 Ki. 21:23
But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon: and made Josias, his son, their king in his stead. 4 Ki. 21:24
And they buried him in his sepulchre, in the garden of Oza: and his son, Josias, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 21:26
¤ Josias was eight years old when he began to reign: he reigned one and thirty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Idida, the daughter of Hadaia, of Besecath. 4 Ki. 22:1
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of David, his father: he turned not aside to the right hand, or to the left. 4 Ki. 22:2
And the king had heard the words of the law of the Lord, he rent his garments. 4 Ki. 22:11
And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant. 4 Ki. 23:3
And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son, or his daughter, through fire, to Moloch. 4 Ki. 23:10
And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet, that came out of Samaria. 4 Ki. 23:18
There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him. 4 Ki. 23:25
But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him. 4 Ki. 23:26
In his days Pharao Nechao, king of Egypt, went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him. 4 Ki. 23:29
And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz, the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead. 4 Ki. 23:30
Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobna. 4 Ki. 23:31
And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. 4 Ki. 23:32
And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim, the son of Josias, king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there. 4 Ki. 23:34
And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao. 4 Ki. 23:35
Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida, the daughter of Phadaia, of Ruma. 4 Ki. 23:36
And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done. 4 Ki. 23:37
¤ In his days Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon came up, and Joakim became his servant three years: then again he rebelled against him. 4 Ki. 24:1
And the Lord sent against him the rovers of the Chaldees, and the rovers of Syria, and the rovers of Moab, and the rovers of the children of Ammon: and he sent them against Juda, to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by his servants, the prophets. 4 Ki. 24:2
But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers: 4 Ki. 24:5
And Joachin, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 24:6
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his own country: for the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates. 4 Ki. 24:7
Joachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Nohesta, the daughter of Elnathan, of Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 24:8
And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his father had done. 4 Ki. 24:9
And Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came to the city, with his servants, to assault it. 4 Ki. 24:11
And Joachin, king of Juda, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his nobles, and his eunuchs: and the king of Babylon received him in the eighth year of his reign. 4 Ki. 24:12
And he carried away Joachin into Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and the judges of the land he carried into captivity, from Jerusalem, into Babylon. 4 Ki. 24:15
And he appointed Matthanias, his uncle, in his stead: and called his name Sedecias. 4 Ki. 24:17
Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobna. 4 Ki. 24:18
For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Juda, till he cast them out from his face: and Sedecias revolted from the king of Babylon. 4 Ki. 24:20
¤ And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it. 4 Ki. 25:1
And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon. 4 Ki. 25:7
And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon. 4 Ki. 25:28
And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life. 4 Ki. 25:29
And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king, day by day, all the days of his life. 4 Ki. 25:30

And Bale died, and Jobab the son of Zare of Bosra, reigned in his stead. 1 Par. 1:44
And when Jobab also was dead, Husam of the land of the Themanites reigned in his stead. 1 Par. 1:45

And the sons of Jerameel the firstborn of Hesron, were Ram his firstborn, and Buna, and Aram, and Asom, and Achia. 1 Par. 2:25
And he gave him his daughter to wife: and she bore him Ethei. 1 Par. 2:35

And Jabes was more honourable than any of his brethren, and his mother called his name Jabes, saying: Because I bore him with sorrow. 1 Par. 4:9
And his wife Judaia, bore Jared the father of Gedor, and Heber the father of Socho, and Icuthiel the father of Zanoe. And these are the sons of Bethia the daughter of Pharao, whom Mered took to wife. 1 Par. 4:18
And the sons of his wife Odaia the sister of Naham the father of Celia, Garmi, and Esthamo, who was of Machathi. 1 Par. 4:19
These are the potters, and they dwelt in Plantations, and Hedges, with the king for his works, and they abode there. 1 Par. 4:23
Sellum his son, Mapsam his son, Masma his son. 1 Par. 4:25
The sons of Masma: Hamuel his son, Zachur his son, Semei his son. 1 Par. 4:26
The sons of Semei were sixteen, and six daughters: but his brethren had not many sons, and the whole kindred could not reach to the sum of the children of Juda. 1 Par. 4:27

In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long, and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and touched the wing of the other cherub. 2 Par. 3:12
And the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass. 2 Par. 4:16
¤ Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God. 2 Par. 5:1
So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud. 2 Par. 5:13
But I have built a house to his name, that he might dwell there for ever. 2 Par. 6:2
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the multitude of Israel for all the multitude stood attentive and he said: 2 Par. 6:3
The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel. 2 Par. 6:10
And he stood before the altar of the Lord, in presence of all the multitude of Israel, and stretched forth his hands. 2 Par. 6:12
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, and had set it in the midst of the temple, which was five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high: and he stood upon it: then kneeling down in the presence of all the multitude of Israel, and lifting up his hands towards heaven, 2 Par. 6:13
But to this end only it is made, that thou mayest regard the prayer of thy servant and his supplication, O Lord my God: and mayest hear the prayers which thy servant poureth out before thee. 2 Par. 6:19
If any man sin against his neighbour, and come to swear against him, and bind himself with a curse before the altar in this house: 2 Par. 6:22
Then hear thou from heaven, and do justice to thy servants, so to requite the wicked by making his wickedness fall upon his own head, and to revenge the just, rewarding him according to his justice. 2 Par. 6:23
Then if any of thy people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity shall pray, and shall spread forth his hands in this house, 2 Par. 6:29
Hear thou from heaven, from thy high dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every one according to his ways, which thou knowest him to have in his heart: for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: 2 Par. 6:30
¤ And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord filled the house. 2 Par. 7:1
Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Par. 7:3
And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 2 Par. 7:6
So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people. 2 Par. 7:10
And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered. 2 Par. 7:11
¤ And at the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house: 2 Par. 8:1
Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon's, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. 2 Par. 8:6
But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king's works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen. 2 Par. 8:9
And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded. 2 Par. 8:14
And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skilful mariners, and they went with Solomon's servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon. 2 Par. 8:18
And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished. 2 Par. 9:4
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them forever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice. 2 Par. 9:8
And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart. 2 Par. 9:23
And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 9:31
He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people? 2 Par. 10:6
But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train. 2 Par. 10:8
And he condescended not to the people's requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat. 2 Par. 10:15
And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to get up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem. 2 Par. 10:18
¤ And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him. 2 Par. 11:1
Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go against Jeroboam, 2 Par. 11:4
Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office to the Lord. 2 Par. 11:14
And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he begot eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters. 2 Par. 11:21
But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king, 2 Par. 11:22
Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives. 2 Par. 11:23
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess. 2 Par. 12:13
But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord. 2 Par. 12:14
And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 12:16
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam. 2 Par. 13:2
And when Abia had begun battle, and had with him four hundred thousand most valiant and chosen men, Jeroboam put his army in array against him, eight hundred thousand men, who were also chosen and most valiant for war. 2 Par. 13:3
Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel gave to David the kingdom over Israel for ever, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 2 Par. 13:5
And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up: and rebelled against his lord. 2 Par. 13:6
And you have cast out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: and you have made you priests, like all the nations of the earth: whosoever cometh and consecrateth his hand with a bullock of the herd, and with seven rams, is made a priest of those who are no gods. 2 Par. 13:9
Therefore God is the leader in our army, and his priests who sound with trumpets, and resound against you: O children of Israel, fight not against the Lord the God of your fathers, for it is not good for you. 2 Par. 13:12
While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda, who perceived it not, with his army. 2 Par. 13:13
And Abia and his people slew them with a great slaughter, and there fell wounded of Israel five hundred thousand valiant men. 2 Par. 13:17
But Abia, being strengthened in his kingdom, took fourteen wives: and begot two and twenty sons, and sixteen daughters. 2 Par. 13:21
And the rest of the acts of Abia, and of his ways and works, are written diligently in the book of Addo the prophet. 2 Par. 13:22
¤ And Abia slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead: in his days the land was quiet ten years. 2 Par. 14:1
And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places. 2 Par. 14:2
He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace. 2 Par. 14:6
And Asa had in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men. 2 Par. 14:8
And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa. 2 Par. 14:9
And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa: 2 Par. 14:10
And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils, 2 Par. 14:13
And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him. 2 Par. 15:9
But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 2 Par. 15:17
And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses. 2 Par. 15:18
¤ And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa. 2 Par. 16:1
And when Benadad heard this, he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel: and they took Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Nephtali. 2 Par. 16:4
And when Baasa heard of it, he left off the building of Rama, and interrupted his work. 2 Par. 16:5
And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians. 2 Par. 16:12
And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 2 Par. 16:13
And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp. 2 Par. 16:14
¤ And Josaphat his son reigned in his stead, and grew strong against Israel. 2 Par. 17:1
And he placed numbers of soldiers in all the fortified cities of Juda. And he put garrisons in the land of Juda, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. 2 Par. 17:2
And the Lord was with Josaphat, because he walked in the first ways of David his father: and trusted not in Baalim, 2 Par. 17:3
But in the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not according to the sins of Israel. 2 Par. 17:4
And the Lord established the kingdom in his hand, and all Juda brought presents to Josaphat: and he acquired immense riches, and much glory. 2 Par. 17:5
And when his heart had taken courage for the ways of the Lord, he took away also the high places and the groves out of Juda. 2 Par. 17:6
And in the third year of his reign, he sent of his princes Benhail, and Abdias, and Zacharias, and Nathanael, and Micheas, to teach in the cities of Juda: 2 Par. 17:7
And he went down to him after some years to Samaria: and Achab at his coming killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people that came with him: and he persuaded him to go up to Ramoth Galaad. 2 Par. 18:2
Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let every man return to his own house in peace. 2 Par. 18:16
Then he said: Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left, 2 Par. 18:18
And he answered: I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive, and shalt prevail: go out, and do so. 2 Par. 18:21
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: I will change my dress, and so I will go to the battle, but put thou on thy own garments. And the king of Israel having changed his dress, went to the battle. 2 Par. 18:29
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his cavalry, saying: Fight ye not with small, or great, but with the king of Israel only. 2 Par. 18:30
And it happened that one of the people shot an arrow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulders, and he said to his chariot man: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded. 2 Par. 18:33
And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the sunset. 2 Par. 18:34
¤ And Josaphat king of Juda returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 2 Par. 19:1
And they rose early in the morning, and went out through the desert of Thecua: and as they were marching, Josaphat standing in the midst of them, said: Hear me, ye men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be secure: believe his prophets, and all things shall succeed well. 2 Par. 20:20
And he gave counsel to the people, and appointed the singing men of the Lord, to praise him by their companies, and to go before the army, and with one voice to say: Give glory to the Lord, for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Par. 20:21
And Josaphat reigned over Juda, and he was five and thirty years old, when he began to reign: and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Selahi. 2 Par. 20:31
And he walked in the way of his father Asa and departed not from it, doing the things that were pleasing before the Lord. 2 Par. 20:32
¤ And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 21:1
So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel. 2 Par. 21:4
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 2 Par. 21:6
But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever. 2 Par. 21:7
And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry. 2 Par. 21:9
However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers. 2 Par. 21:10
And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest. 2 Par. 21:17
And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels. 2 Par. 21:18
And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors. 2 Par. 21:19
He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 2 Par. 21:20
¤ And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ochozias his youngest son king in his place: for the rovers of the Arabians, who had broke in upon the camp, had killed all that were his elder brothers. So Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda reigned. 2 Par. 22:1
Ochozias was forty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri. 2 Par. 22:2
He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother pushed him on to do wickedly. 2 Par. 22:3
So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction. 2 Par. 22:4
And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias. 2 Par. 22:9
For Athalia his mother, seeing that her son was dead, rose up, and killed all the royal family of the house of Joram. 2 Par. 22:10
But Josabeth the king's daughter took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain. And she hid him with his nurse in a bedchamber: now Josabeth that hid him, was daughter of king Joram, wife of Joiada the high priest, and sister of Ochozias, and therefore Athalia did not kill him. 2 Par. 22:11
And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out. 2 Par. 23:7
So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest had commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week. 2 Par. 23:8
And they brought out the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king. 2 Par. 23:11
And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. 2 Par. 23:17
¤ Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee. 2 Par. 24:1
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house. 2 Par. 24:16
And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it. 2 Par. 24:22
And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 2 Par. 24:25
And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God, they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 24:27
¤ Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem. 2 Par. 25:1
And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father. 2 Par. 25:3
But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. 2 Par. 25:4
And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand. 2 Par. 25:11
But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them. 2 Par. 25:14
And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David. 2 Par. 25:28
¤ And all the people of Juda took his son Ozias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of Amasias his father. 2 Par. 26:1
He built Ailath, and restored it to the dominion of Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers. 2 Par. 26:2
Ozias was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jechelia of Jerusalem. 2 Par. 26:3
And he did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Amasias his father had done. 2 Par. 26:4
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Ozias: and his name was spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt for his frequent victories. 2 Par. 26:8
And the army of his fighting men, that went out to war, was under the hand of Jehiel the scribe, and Maasias the doctor, and under the hand of Henanias, who was one of the king's captains. 2 Par. 26:11
And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him. 2 Par. 26:15
But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 2 Par. 26:16
And Ozias was angry, and holding in his hand the censer to burn incense, threatened the priests. And presently there rose a leprosy in his forehead before the priests, in the house of the Lord at the altar of incense. 2 Par. 26:19
And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord. 2 Par. 26:20
And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king's house, and judged the people of the land. 2 Par. 26:21
And Ozias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the field of the royal sepulchres, because he was a leper: and Joatham his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 26:23
¤ Joatham was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Jerusa the daughter of Sadoc. 2 Par. 27:1
And he did that which was right before the Lord, according to all that Ozias his father had done, only that he entered not into the temple of the Lord, and the people still transgressed. 2 Par. 27:2
And Joatham was strengthened, because he had his way directed before the Lord his God. 2 Par. 27:6
Now the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all his wars, and his works, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda. 2 Par. 27:7
And Joatham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 27:9
¤ Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done, 2 Par. 28:1
It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel. 2 Par. 28:3
And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter. 2 Par. 28:5
At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king's son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king. 2 Par. 28:7
Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself, 2 Par. 28:22
And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath. 2 Par. 28:25
But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 2 Par. 28:26
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 28:27
¤ Now Ezechias began to reign, when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abia, the daughter of Zacharias. 2 Par. 29:1
And he did that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. 2 Par. 29:2
In the first year and month of his reign he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them. 2 Par. 29:3
Now therefore I have a mind that we make a covenant with the Lord the God of Israel, and he will turn away the wrath of his indignation from us. 2 Par. 29:10
And all the furniture of the temple, which king Achaz in his reign had defiled, after his transgression; and behold they are all set forth before the altar of the Lord. 2 Par. 29:19
And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps according to the regulation of David the king, and of Gad the seer, and of Nathan the prophet: for it was the commandment of the Lord by the hand of his prophets. 2 Par. 29:25
And the posts went with letters by commandment of the king, and his princes, to all Israel and Juda, proclaiming according to the king's orders: Ye children of Israel, turn again to the Lord the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel: and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped the hand of the king of the Assyrians. 2 Par. 30:6
Harden not your necks, as your fathers did: yield yourselves to the Lord, and come to his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified forever: serve the Lord the God of your fathers, and the wrath of his indignation shall be turned away from you. 2 Par. 30:8
For if you turn again to the Lord, your brethren, and children shall find mercy before their masters, that have led them away captive, and they shall return into this land: for the Lord your God is merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him. 2 Par. 30:9
And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord. 2 Par. 31:2
And the king's part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses. 2 Par. 31:3
And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel. 2 Par. 31:8
Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest. 2 Par. 31:10
They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second, 2 Par. 31:12
And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained. 2 Par. 31:13
And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great: 2 Par. 31:15
So Ezechias did all things which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good, and right, and truth, before the Lord his God, 2 Par. 31:20
In all the service of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered. 2 Par. 31:21
After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying: 2 Par. 32:9
Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense? 2 Par. 32:12
Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand? 2 Par. 32:14
Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand. 2 Par. 32:15
And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant. 2 Par. 32:16
He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand. 2 Par. 32:17
And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword. 2 Par. 32:21
But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem. 2 Par. 32:25
And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias. 2 Par. 32:26
This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in all his works he did prosperously what he would. 2 Par. 32:30
But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart. 2 Par. 32:31
Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. 2 Par. 32:32
And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 32:33
And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them. 2 Par. 33:3
And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 2 Par. 33:6
He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever. 2 Par. 33:7
And the Lord spoke to him and to his people, and they would not hearken. 2 Par. 33:10

But the rest of the acts of Manasses, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the Lord the God of Israel, are contained in the words of the kings of Israel. 2 Par. 33:18
His prayer also, and his being heard and all his sins, and contempt, and places wherein he built high places, and set up groves, and statues before he did penance, are written in the words of Hozai. 2 Par. 33:19
And Manasses slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his house: and his son Amon reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 33:20

And he did not humble himself before the lord, as Manasses his father had humbled himself, but committed far greater sin. 2 Par. 33:23
And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house. 2 Par. 33:24
But the rest of the multitude of the people slew them that had killed Amon, and made Josias his son king in his stead. 2 Par. 33:25

And in the eighth year of his reign, when he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David: and in the twelfth year after he began to reign, he cleansed Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the idols, and the graven things. 2 Par. 34:3
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had cleansed the land, and the temple of the Lord, he sent Saphan the son of Elselias, and Maasias the governor of the city, Joha the son of Joachaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God. 2 Par. 34:8
And when he had heard the words of the law, he rent his garments: 2 Par. 34:19
And standing up in his tribunal, he made a covenant before the Lord to walk after him, and keep his commandments, and testimonies, and justifications with all his heart, and with all his soul, and to do the things that were written in that book which he had read. 2 Par. 34:31
And he spoke to the Levites, by whose instruction all Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: Put the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: for you shall carry it no more: but minister now to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel. 2 Par. 35:3

He said to his son: Go, and bring some of our tribe that fear God, to feast with us. Tob. 2:2
And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to the body. Tob. 2:3
And taking it up carried it privately to his house, that after the sun was down, he might bury him cautiously. Tob. 2:4
Now all his neighbours blamed him, saying: once already commandment was given for thee to be slain because of this matter, and thou didst scarce escape the sentence of death, and dost thou again bury the dead? Tob. 2:8
But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight buried them. Tob. 2:9
Now it happened one day that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept, Tob. 2:10
And as he was sleeping, hot dung out of a swallow's nest fell upon his eyes, and he was made blind. Tob. 2:11
Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job. Tob. 2:12
For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him, Tob. 2:13
But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God all the days of his life. Tob. 2:14
For as the kings insulted over holy Job: so his relations and kinsmen mocked at his life, saying: Tob. 2:15
Now Anna his wife went daily to weaving work, and she brought home what she could get for their living by the labour of her hands. Tob. 2:19
At these words his wife being angry answered: It is evident thy hope is come to nothing, and thy alms now appear. Tob. 2:22
But this every one is sure of that worshippeth thee, that his life, if it be under trial, shall be crowned and if it be under tribulation, it shall be delivered: and if it be under correction, it shall be allowed to come to thy mercy. Tob. 3:21
¤ Therefore when Tobias thought that his prayer was heard that he might die, he called to him Tobias his son, Tob. 4:1
If any man hath done any work for thee, immediately pay him his hire, and let not the wages of thy hired servant stay with thee at all. Tob. 4:15
I tell thee also, my son, that I lent ten talents of silver, while thou wast yet a child, to Gabelus, in Rages a city of the Medes, and I have a note of his hand with me: Tob. 4:21
Now therefore inquire how thou mayst go to him, and receive of him the foresaid sum of money, and restore to him the note of his hand. Tob. 4:22
¤ Then Tobias answered his father, and said: I will do all things, father, which thou hast commanded me. Tob. 5:1
Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it. Tob. 5:3
But go now, and seek thee out some faithful man, to go with thee for his hire: that thou mayst receive it, while I yet live. Tob. 5:4
Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto him. Tob. 5:10
And Tobias answering, said: May you have a good journey, and God be with you in your way, and his angel accompany you. Tob. 5:21
Then all things being ready, that were to be carried in their journey, Tobias bade his father and his mother farewell, and they set out both together. Tob. 5:22
And when they were departed, his mother began to weep, and to say: Thou hast taken the staff of our old age, and sent him away from us. Tob. 5:23
At these words his mother ceased weeping, and held her peace. Tob. 5:28
And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came up to devour him. Tob. 6:2
And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he began to pant before his feet. Tob. 6:4
Then the angel said to him: Take out the entrails of this fish, and lay up his heart, and his gall, and his liver for thee: for these are necessary for useful medicines. Tob. 6:5
All his substance is due to thee, and thou must take her to wife. Tob. 6:12
And Raguel looking upon Tobias, said to Anna his wife: How like is this young man to my cousin? Tob. 7:2
And Raguel went to him, and kissed him with tears and weeping upon his neck, said: A blessing be upon thee, my son, because thou art the son of a good and most virtuous man. Tob. 7:7
And Anna his wife, and Sara their daughter wept. Tob. 7:8
Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition, Tob. 7:11
The angel said to him: Be not afraid to give her to this man, for to him who feareth God is thy daughter due to be his wife: therefore another could not have her. Tob. 7:12
Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight. Tob. 7:13
And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and fulfil his blessing in you. Tob. 7:15
And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and bade her to prepare another chamber. Tob. 7:18
And Tobias remembering the angel's word, took out of his bag part of the liver, and laid it upon burning coals. Tob. 8:2
And it came to pass about the cockcrowing, Raguel ordered his servants to be called for, and they went with him together to dig a grave. Tob. 8:11
And when they had prepared the pit, Raguel went back to his wife, and said to her: Tob. 8:13
And returning she brought the good news: and Raguel and Anna his wife blessed the Lord, Tob. 8:16
And immediately Raguel commanded his servants, to fill up the pit they had made, before it was day. Tob. 8:20
And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey. Tob. 8:21
He caused also two fat kine, and four wethers to be killed, and a banquet to be prepared for all his neighbours, and all his friends, Tob. 8:22
However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and servants, and to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore to him his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come to my wedding. Tob. 9:3
For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted. Tob. 9:4
Then Raphael took four of Raguel's servants, and two camels, and went to Rages the city of the Medes: and finding Gabelus, gave him his note of hand, and received of him all the money. Tob. 9:6
¤ But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there? Tob. 10:1
And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weep together, because their son did not return to them on the day appointed. Tob. 10:3
But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity? Tob. 10:4
But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health. Tob. 10:8
And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him, Tob. 10:10
And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh. Tob. 11:6
And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee. Tob. 11:8
Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail. Tob. 11:9
And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son. Tob. 11:10
And receiving him kissed him, as did also his wife, and they began to weep for joy. Tob. 11:11
Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father's eyes. Tob. 11:13
And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg. Tob. 11:14
And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight. Tob. 11:15
And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew him. Tob. 11:16
And after seven days Sara his son's wife and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus, Tob. 11:18
And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him. Tob. 11:19
¤ Then Tobias called to him his son and said to him: What can we give to this holy man, that is come with thee? Tob. 12:1
Tobias answering, said to his father: Father, what wages shall we give him? or what can be worthy of his benefits? Tob. 12:2
Then he said to them secretly, Bless ye the God of heaven, give glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his mercy to you. Tob. 12:6
It is time therefore that I return to him that sent me: but bless ye God, and publish all his wonderful works. Tob. 12:20
Then they lying prostrate for three hours upon their face, blessed God, and rising up, they told all his wonderful works. Tob. 12:22
¤ And Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed the Lord, and said: Thou art great O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages. Tob. 13:1
Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him. Tob. 13:4
He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for his own mercy. Tob. 13:5
As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation, Tob. 13:7
Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God, believing that he will shew his mercy to you. Tob. 13:8
Bless ye the Lord, all his elect, keep days of joy, and give glory to him. Tob. 13:10
Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God eternal that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever. Tob. 13:12
My soul, bless thou the Lord, because the Lord our God hath delivered Jerusalem his city from all her troubles. Tob. 13:19
¤ And the words of Tobias were ended. And after Tobias was restored to his sight, he lived two and forty years, and saw the children of his grandchildren. Tob. 14:1
For he was six and fifty years old when he lost the sight of his eyes, and sixty when he recovered it again. Tob. 14:3
And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace. Tob. 14:4
And at the hour of his death he called unto him his son Tobias and his children, seven young men, his grandsons, and said to them: Tob. 14:5
And it came to pass that after the death of his mother, Tobias departed out of Ninive with his wife, and children, and children's children, and returned to his father and mother in law. Tob. 14:14
And he found them in health in a good old age: and he took care of them, and he closed their eyes: and all the inheritance of Raguel's house came to him: and he saw his children's children to the fifth generation. Tob. 14:15
And all his kindred, and all his generation continued in good life, and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to God, and to men, and to all that dwelt in the land. Tob. 14:17
‡ ¤ Now Arphaxad king of the Medes had brought many nations under his dominions, and he built a very strong city, which he called Ecbatana, Jud. 1:1
And he gloried as a mighty one in the force of his army and in the glory of his chariots. Jud. 1:4
Now in the twelfth year of his reign, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, who reigned in Ninive the great city, fought against Arphaxad and overcame him, Jud. 1:5
Then was the kingdom of Nabuchodonosor exalted, and his heart was elevated: and he sent to all that dwelt in Cilicia and Damascus, and Libanus, Jud. 1:7
Then king Nabuchodonosor being angry against all that land, swore by his throne and kingdom that he would revenge himself of all those countries. Jud. 1:12
And he called all the ancients, and all the governors, and his officers of war, and communicated to them the secret of his counsel: Jud. 2:2
And he said that his thoughts were to bring all the earth under his empire. Jud. 2:3
And when this saying pleased them all, Nabuchodonosor, the king, called Holofernes the general of his armies, Jud. 2:4
And he made all his warlike preparations to go before with a multitude of innumerable camels, with all provisions sufficient for the armies in abundance, and herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, without number. Jud. 2:8
He appointed corn to be prepared out of all Syria in his passage. Jud. 2:9
And so great a fear lay upon all those provinces, that the inhabitants of all the cities, both princes and nobles, as well as the people, went out to meet him at his coming. Jud. 3:9
And though they did these things, they could not for all that mitigate the fierceness of his heart: Jud. 3:11
And he took possession of their cities, and stayed there for thirty days, in which days he commanded all the troops of his army to be united. Jud. 3:15
Remember Moses the servant of the Lord who overcame Amalec that trusted in his own strength, and in his power, and in his army, and in his shields, and in his chariots, and in his horsemen, not by fighting with the sword, but by holy prayers: Jud. 4:12
So they being moved by this exhortation of his, prayed to the Lord, and continued in the sight of the Lord. Jud. 4:14
And they all begged of God with all their heart, that he would visit his people Israel. Jud. 4:16
And when the king of Egypt oppressed them, and made slaves of them to labour in clay and brick, in the building of his cities, they cried to their Lord, and he struck the whole land of Egypt with divers plagues. Jud. 5:10
Who is this, that saith the children of Israel can resist king Nabuchodonosor, and his armies, men unarmed, and without force, and without skill in the art of war? Jud. 5:27
Then Holofernes commanded his servants to take Achior, and to lead him to Bethulia, and to deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel. Jud. 6:7
And when the Lord our God shall give this liberty to his servants, let God be with thee also in the midst of us: that as it shall please thee, so thou with all thine mayst converse with us. Jud. 6:18
Then Ozias, after the assembly was broken up, received him into his house, and made him a great supper. Jud. 6:19
¤ But Holofernes on the next day gave orders to his army, to go up against Bethulia. Jud. 7:1
Now there were in his troops a hundred and twenty thousand footmen, and two and twenty thousand horsemen, besides the preparations of those men who had been taken, and who had been brought away out of the provinces and cities of all the youth. Jud. 7:2
But the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, prostrated themselves upon the ground, putting ashes upon their heads, praying with one accord, that the God of Israel would shew his mercy upon his people. Jud. 7:4
And these words pleased Holofernes, and his officers, and he placed all round about a hundred men at every spring. Jud. 7:10
For perhaps he will put a stop to his indignation, and will give glory to his own name. Jud. 7:24
For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers. Jud. 8:3
And Judith his relict was a widow now three years and six months. Jud. 8:4
But forasmuch as the Lord is patient, let us be penitent for this same thing, and with many tears let us beg his pardon: Jud. 8:14
And therefore let us humble our souls before him, and continuing in an humble spirit, in his service: Jud. 8:16
Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility. Jud. 8:17
Let us humbly wait for his consolation, and the Lord our God will require our blood of the afflictions of our enemies, and he will humble all the nations that shall rise up against us, and bring them to disgrace. Jud. 8:20
You shall stand at the gate this night, and I will go out with my maidservant: and pray ye, that as you have said, in five days the Lord may look down upon his people Israel. Jud. 8:32
Bring to pass, O Lord, that his pride may be cut off with his own sword. Jud. 9:12
Let him be caught in the net of his own eyes in my regard, and do thou strike him by the graces of the words of my lips. Jud. 9:13
But they asked her no question, only they let her pass, saying: The God of our fathers give thee grace, and may he strengthen all the counsel of thy heart with his power, that Jerusalem may glory in thee, and thy name may be in the number of the holy and just. Jud. 10:8
For this reason I thought with myself, saying: I will go to the presence of the prince Holofernes, that I may tell him their secrets, and shew him by what way he may take them, without the loss of one man of his army. Jud. 10:13
And be assured of this, that when thou shalt stand before him, he will treat thee well, and thou wilt be most acceptable to his heart. And they brought her to the tent of Holofernes, telling him of her. Jud. 10:16
And when she was come into his presence, forthwith Holofernes was caught by his eyes. Jud. 10:17
And his officers said to him: Who can despise the people of the Hebrews, who have such beautiful women, that we should not think it worth our while for their sakes to fight against them? Jud. 10:18
After she had looked on his face, bowed down to him, prostrating herself to the ground. And the servants of Holofernes lifted her up, by the command of their master. Jud. 10:20
For as Nabuchodonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in thee for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through thee, but also the beasts of the field obey him. Jud. 11:5
For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces. Jud. 11:6
For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them up for their sins. Jud. 11:8
And all these words pleased Holofernes, and his servants, and they admired her wisdom, and they said one to another: Jud. 11:18
¤ Then he ordered that she should go in where his treasures were laid up, and bade her tarry there, and he appointed what should be given her from his own table. Jud. 12:1
And Judith said: As thy soul liveth, my lord, thy handmaid shall not spend all these things till God do by my hand that which I have purposed. And his servants brought her into the tent which he had commanded. Jud. 12:4
And he commanded his chamberlains, that she might go out and in, to adore her God as she pleased, for three days. Jud. 12:6
And as she came up, she prayed to the Lord the God of Israel, that he would direct her way to the deliverance of his people. Jud. 12:8
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that Holofernes made a supper for his servants, and said to Vagao his eunuch: Go, and persuade that Hebrew woman, to consent of her own accord to dwell with me. Jud. 12:10
Then Vagao went in to Judith, and said: Let not my good maid be afraid to go in to my lord, that she may be honoured before his face, that she may eat with him and drink wine and be merry. Jud. 12:12
All that shall be good and best before his eyes, I will do. And whatsoever shall please him, that shall be best to me all the days of my life. Jud. 12:14
And she arose and dressed herself out with her garments, and going in she stood before his face. Jud. 12:15
And Holofernes was made merry on her occasion, and drank exceeding much wine, so much as he had never drunk in his life. Jud. 12:20
¤ And when it was grown late, his servants made haste to their lodgings, and Vagao shut the chamber doors, and went his way. Jud. 13:1
But Holofernes lay on his bed, fast asleep, being exceedingly drunk. Jud. 13:4
And when she had said this, she went to the pillar that was at his bed's head, and loosed his sword that hung tied upon it. Jud. 13:8
And when she had drawn it out, she took him by the hair of his head, and said: Strengthen me, O Lord God, at this hour. Jud. 13:9
And she struck twice upon his neck, and cut off his head, and took off his canopy from the pillars, and rolled away his headless body. Jud. 13:10
And Judith from afar off cried to the watchmen upon the walls: Open the gates for God is with us, who hath shewn his power in Israel. Jud. 13:13
And by me his handmaid he hath fulfilled his mercy, which he promised to the house of Israel: and he hath killed the enemy of his people by my hand this night. Jud. 13:18
Then she brought forth the head of Holofernes out of the wallet, and shewed it them, saying: Behold the head of Holofernes the general of the army of the Assyrians, and behold his canopy, wherein he lay in his drunkenness, where the Lord our God slew him by the hand of a woman. Jud. 13:19
But as the same Lord liveth, his angel hath been my keeper both going hence, and abiding there, and returning from thence hither: and the Lord hath not suffered me his handmaid to be defiled, but hath brought me back to you without pollution of sin, rejoicing for his victory, for my escape, and for your deliverance. Jud. 13:20
Give all of you glory to him, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. Jud. 13:21
And they all adored the Lord, and said to her: The Lord hath blessed thee by his power, because by thee he hath brought our enemies to nought. Jud. 13:22
And Achior being called for came, and Judith said to him: The God of Israel, to whom thou gavest testimony, that he revengeth himself of his enemies, he hath cut off the head of all the unbelievers this night by my hand. Jud. 13:27
And that thou mayst find that it is so, behold the head of Holofernes, who in the contempt of his pride despised the God of Israel: and threatened them with death, saying: When the people of Israel shall be taken, I will command thy sides to be pierced with a sword. Jud. 13:28
Then Achior seeing the head of Holofernes, being seized with a great fear he fell on his face upon the earth, and his soul swooned away. Jud. 13:29
But after he had recovered his spirits he fell down at her feet, and reverenced her, and said: Jud. 13:30
And as soon as the sun shall rise, let every man take his arms, and rush ye out, not as going down beneath, but as making an assault. Jud. 14:2
And when the captains of them shall run to the tent of Holofernes, and shall find him without his head wallowing in his blood, fear shall fall upon them. Jud. 14:4
Then Achior seeing the power that the God of Israel had wrought, leaving the religion of the Gentiles, he believed God, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined to the people of Israel, with all the succession of his kindred until this present day. Jud. 14:6
And immediately at break of day, they hung up the head of Holofernes upon the walls, and every man took his arms, and they went out with a great noise and shouting. Jud. 14:7
And they that were in the tent came, and made a noise, before the door of the chamber to awake him, endeavouring by art to break his rest, that Holofernes might awake, not by their calling him, but by their noise. Jud. 14:9
But when his captains and tribunes were come, and all the chiefs of the army of the king of the Assyrians, they said to the chamberlains: Jud. 14:11
Then Vagao going into his chamber, stood before the curtain, and made a clapping with his hands: for he thought that he was sleeping with Judith. Jud. 14:13
But when with hearkening, he perceived no motion of one lying, he came near to the curtain, and lifting it up, and seeing the body of Holofernes, lying upon the ground, without the head, weltering in his blood, he cried out with a loud voice, with weeping, and rent his garments. Jud. 14:14
And said: One Hebrew woman hath made confusion in the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for behold Holofernes lieth upon the ground, and his head is not upon him. Jud. 14:16
So that no one spoke to his neighbour, but hanging down the head, leaving all things behind, they made haste to escape from the Hebrews, who, as they heard, were coming armed upon them, and fled by the ways of the fields, and the paths of the hills. Jud. 15:2
And Joachim the high priest came from Jerusalem to Bethulia with all his ancients to see Judith. Jud. 15:9
Begin ye to the Lord with timbrels, sing ye to the Lord with cymbals, tune unto him a new psalm, extol and call upon his name. Jud. 16:2
The Lord putteth an end to wars, the Lord is his name. Jud. 16:3
He hath set his camp in the midst of his people, to deliver us from the hand of all our enemies. Jud. 16:4
The Assyrians came out of the mountains from the north in the multitude of his strength: his multitude stopped up the torrents, and their horses covered the valleys. Jud. 16:5
Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty made his soul her captive, with a sword she cut off his head. Jud. 16:11
And Judith offered for an anathema of oblivion all the arms of Holofernes, which the people gave her, and the canopy that she had taken away out of his chamber. Jud. 16:23
And after those days every man returned to his house, and Judith was made great in Bethulia, and she was most renowned in all the land of Israel. Jud. 16:25
And this was his dream: Behold there were voices, and tumults, and thunders, and earthquakes, and a disturbance upon the earth. Esther 11:5
And when Mardochai had seen this, and arose out of his bed, he was thinking what God would do: and he kept it fixed in his mind, desirous to know what the dream should signify. Esther 11:12
But Aman the son of Amadathi the Bugite was in great honour with the king, and sought to hurt Mardochai and his people, because of the two eunuchs of the king who were put to death. Esther 12:6
When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom. Esther 1:2
Now in the third year of his reign he made a great feast for all the princes, and for his servants, for the most mighty of the Persians, and the nobles of the Medes, and the governors of the provinces in his sight, Esther 1:3
That he might shew the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the greatness, and boasting of his power, for a long time, to wit, for a hundred and fourscore days. Esther 1:4
Neither was there any one to compel them to drink that were not willing, but as the king had appointed, who set over every table one of his nobles, that every man might take what he would. Esther 1:8
Now on the seventh day, when the king was merry, and after very much drinking was well warmed with wine, he commanded Mauman, and Bazatha, and Harbona, and Bagatha, and Abgatha, and Zethar, and Charcas, the seven eunuchs that served in his presence, Esther 1:10
Asked the wise men, who according to the custom of the kings, were always near his person, and all he did was by their counsel, who knew the laws, and judgments of their forefathers: Esther 1:13
His counsel pleased the king, and the princes: and the king did according to the counsel of Mamuchan. Esther 1:21
And he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every people. Esther 1:22
And the king's servants and his officers said: Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful, Esther 2:2
And he had brought up his brother's daughter Edissa, who by another name was called Esther: now she had lost both her parents: and was exceeding fair and beautiful. And her father and mother being dead, Mardochai adopted her for his daughter. Esther 2:7
And when the king's ordinance was noised abroad, and according to his commandment many beautiful virgins were brought to Susan, and were delivered to Egeus the eunuch: Esther also among the rest of the maidens was delivered to him to be kept in the number of the women. Esther 2:8
And she pleased him, and found favour in his sight. And he commanded the eunuch to hasten the women's ornaments, and to deliver to her her part, and seven of the most beautiful maidens of the king's house, and to adorn and deck out both her and her waiting maids. Esther 2:9
And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women's ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all. Esther 2:15
So she was brought to the chamber of king Assuerus the tenth month, which is called Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. Esther 2:16
And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther, And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence. Esther 2:18
Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one. Esther 2:20
¤ After these things, king Assuerus advanced Aman, the son of Amadathi, who was of the race of Agag: and he set his throne above all the princes that were with him. Esther 3:1
And all the king's servants, that were at the doors of the palace, bent their knees, and worshipped Aman: for so the emperor had commanded them, only Mardochai did not bend his knee, nor worship him. Esther 3:2
And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them, they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: for he had told them that he was a Jew. Esther 3:4
Now when Aman had heard this, and had proved by experience that Mardochai did not bend his knee to him, nor worship him, he was exceeding angry. Esther 3:5
And he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus. Esther 3:6
And the king took the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy of the Jews, Esther 3:10
And the king's scribes were called in the first month Nisan, on the thirteenth day of the same month: and they wrote, as Aman had commanded, to all the king's lieutenants, and to the judges of the provinces, and of divers nations, as every nation could read, and hear according to their different languages, in the name of king Assuerus: and the letters, sealed with his ring, Esther 3:12
¤ And this was the copy of the letter: Artaxerxes the great king who reigneth from India to Ethiopia, to the princes and governors of the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, that are subject to his empire, greeting. Esther 13:1
¤ Now when Mardochai had heard these things, he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head and he cried with a loud voice in the street in the midst of the city, shewing the anguish of his mind. Esther 4:1
All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him? Esther 4:11
But Mardochai besought the Lord, remembering all his works, Esther 13:8
(For I would willingly and readily for the salvation of Israel have kissed even the steps of his feet,) Esther 13:13
Give me a well ordered speech in my mouth in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to the hatred of our enemy, that both he himself may perish, and the rest that consent to him. Esther 14:13
So going in she passed through all the doors in order, and stood before the king, where he sat upon his royal throne, clothed with his royal robes, and glittering with gold, and precious stones, and he was terrible to behold. Esther 15:9
And when he had lifted up his countenance, and with burning eyes had shewn the wrath of his heart, the queen sunk down, and her colour turned pale, and she rested her weary head upon her handmaid. Esther 15:10
And God changed the king's spirit into mildness, and all in haste and in fear he leaped from his throne, and holding her up in his arms, till she came to herself, caressed her with these words: Esther 15:11
But the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her. Esther 15:19
¤ And on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's hall: now he sat upon his throne in the hall of the palace, over against the door of the house. Esther 5:1
And when he saw Esther the queen standing, she pleased his eyes, and he held out toward her the golden sceptre, which he held in his hand and she drew near, and kissed the top of his sceptre. Esther 5:2
But dissembling his anger, and returning into his house, he called together to him his friends, and Zares his wife: Esther 5:10
And he declared to them the greatness of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and with how great glory the king had advanced him above all his princes and servants. Esther 5:11
Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared. Esther 5:14
And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all. Esther 6:3
And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself, Esther 6:6
Ought to be clothed with the king's apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head, Esther 6:8
And let the first of the king's princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour. Esther 6:9
But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, mourning and having his head covered: Esther 6:12
And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight. Esther 6:13
But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king. Esther 7:7
And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king's mouth, and immediately they covered his face. Esther 7:8
And not content with these things, she fell down at the king's feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect. Esther 8:3
But he, as the manner was, held out the golden sceptre with his hand, which was the sign of clemency: and she arose up and stood before him, Esther 8:4
And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king's provinces, may be reversed by new letters. Esther 8:5
Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you in the king's name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king's name, and were sealed with his ring. Esther 8:8
And these letters which were sent in the king's name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages. Esther 8:10
Now that you may more plainly understand what we say, Aman the son of Amadathi, a Macedonian both in mind and country, and having nothing of the Persian blood, but with his cruelty staining our goodness, was received being a stranger by us: Esther 16:10
For which crime both he himself that devised it, and all his kindred hang on gibbets, before the gates of this city Susan: not we, but God repaying him as he deserved. Esther 16:18
And Mardochai going forth out of the palace, and from the king's presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky colour, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced, and was glad. Esther 8:15
For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men's mouths. Esther 9:4
And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets. Esther 9:25
And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians: Esther 10:2
And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed. Esther 10:3
And my nation is Israel, who cried to the Lord, and the Lord saved his people: and he delivered us from all evils, and hath wrought great signs and wonders among the nations: Esther 10:9
And the Lord remembered his people, and had mercy on his inheritance. Esther 10:12
¤ In the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemy and Cleopatra, Dositheus, who said he was a priest, and of the Levitical race, and Ptolemy his son brought this epistle of Phurim, which they said Lysimachus the son of Ptolemy had interpreted in Jerusalem. Esther 11:1
And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a family exceedingly great: and this man was great among all the people of the east. Job 1:3
And his sons went, and made a feast by houses, every one in his day. And sending, they called their three sisters, to eat and drink with them. Job 1:4
Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth? Job 1:10
Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. Job 1:12
Now upon a certain day, when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother, Job 1:13
Then Job rose up, and rent his garments, and having shaven his head, fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, Job 1:20
In all these things Job sinned not by his lips, nor spoke he any foolish thing against God. Job 1:22
And it came to pass, when on a certain day the sons of God came, and stood before the Lord, and Satan came amongst them, and stood in his sight, Job 2:1
And the Lord said to Satan: Hast thou considered my servant, Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil, and still keeping his innocence? But thou hast moved me against him, that I should afflict him without cause. Job 2:3
And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin; and all that a man hath, he will give for his life: Job 2:4
But put forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and then thou shalt see that he will bless thee to thy face. Job 2:5
And the Lord said to Satan: Behold, he is in thy hand, but yet save his life. Job 2:6
So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head: Job 2:7
And his wife said to him: Dost thou still continue in thy simplicity? bless God and die. Job 2:9
And he said to her: Thou hast spoken like one of the foolish women: If we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil? In all these things Job did not sin with his lips. Job 2:10
Now when Job's three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz, the Themanite, and Baldad, the Suhite, and Sophar, the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him. Job 2:11
And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great. Job 2:13
After this, Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day, Job 3:1
The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master. Job 3:19
Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath. Job 4:9
Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker? Job 4:17
Behold, they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness: Job 4:18
I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately. Job 5:3
His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them. Job 5:4
Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches. Job 5:5
For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal. Job 5:18
And that he that hath begun may destroy me, that he may let loose his hand, and cut me off? Job 6:9
He that taketh away mercy from his friend, forsaketh the fear of the Lord. Job 6:14
The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are like the days of a hireling. Job 7:1
As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work; Job 7:2
Nor shall he return any more into his house, neither shall his place know him any more Job 7:10
His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider's web. Job 8:14
He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise: Job 8:15
He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh; and at his rising, his blossom shall shoot forth. Job 8:16
His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones; and among the stones he shall abide. Job 8:17
If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not. Job 8:18
For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth. Job 8:19
God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evil doer: Job 8:20
Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not. Job 9:5
There is none that may be able to reprove both, and to put his hand between both. Job 9:33
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me. Job 9:34
And I wish that God would speak with thee, and would open his lips to thee, Job 11:5
That he might shew thee the secrets of wisdom, and that his law is manifold, and thou mightest understand that he exacteth much less of thee, than thy iniquity deserveth. Job 11:6
He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn. Job 12:4
Do you accept his person, and do you endeavour to judge for God? Job 13:8
He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person. Job 13:10
As soon as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his dread shall fall upon you. Job 13:11
Although he should kill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight. Job 13:15
And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence. Job 13:16
The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed. Job 14:5
Depart a little from him, that he may rest until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling. Job 14:6
So man when he is fallen asleep shall not rise again; till the heavens be broken, he shall not awake, nor rise up out of his sleep. Job 14:12
Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt send him away. Job 14:20
Whether his children come to honour or dishonour, he shall not understand. Job 14:21
But yet his flesh, while he shall live, shall have pain, and his soul shall mourn over him. Job 14:22
Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat? Job 15:2
Hast thou heard God's counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee? Job 15:8
Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight. Job 15:15
The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain. Job 15:20
The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason. Job 15:21
When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Job 15:23
For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty. Job 15:25
He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck. Job 15:26
Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides. Job 15:27
He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth. Job 15:29
He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own mouth. Job 15:30
Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away. Job 15:32
He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits. Job 15:35
He hath gathered together his fury against me, and threatening me he hath gnashed with his teeth upon me: my enemy hath beheld me with terrible eyes. Job 16:9
I that was formerly so wealthy, am all on a sudden broken to pieces: he hath taken me by my neck, he hath broken me, and hath set me up to be his mark. Job 16:12
He hath compassed me round about with his lances, he hath wounded my loins, he hath not spared, and hath poured out my bowels on the earth, Job 16:13
And O that a man might so be judged with God, as the son of man is judged with his companion! Job 16:21
He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail. Job 17:5
And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. Job 17:9
Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine? Job 18:5
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out. Job 18:6
The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong. Job 18:7
For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes. Job 18:8
The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him. Job 18:9
A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path. Job 18:10
Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet. Job 18:11
Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs. Job 18:12
Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms. Job 18:13
Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king. Job 18:14
Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent. Job 18:15
Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above. Job 18:16
Let the memory of him perish from the earth, and let not his name be renowned in the streets. Job 18:17
His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people, nor any remnants in his country. Job 18:19
They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before. Job 18:20
At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges. Job 19:6
His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy. Job 19:11
His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about. Job 19:12
If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds: Job 20:6
The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him. Job 20:9
His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render to him his sorrow. Job 20:10
His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust. Job 20:11
For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue. Job 20:12
He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat. Job 20:13
His bread in his belly shall be turned into the gall of asps within him, Job 20:14
The riches which he hath swallowed, he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly. Job 20:15
He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer. Job 20:18
And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them. Job 20:20
There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods: Job 20:21
May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him. Job 20:23
The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him. Job 20:25

The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him. Job 20:27
The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God's wrath. Job 20:28
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord. Job 20:29

For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul? Job 27:8

His cheeks are as beds of aromatical spices set by the perfumers. His lips are as lilies dropping choice myrrh. Cant. 5:13
His hands are turned and as of gold, full of hyacinths. His belly as of ivory, set with sapphires. Cant. 5:14
His legs as pillars of marble, that are set upon bases of gold. His form as of Libanus, excellent as the cedars. Cant. 5:15
His throat most sweet, and he is all lovely: such is my beloved, and he is my friend, O ye daughters of Jerusalem. Cant. 5:16
My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the bed of aromatical spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. Cant. 6:2
Thy throat like the best wine, worthy for my beloved to drink, and for his lips and his teeth to ruminate. Cant. 7:9
I to my beloved, and his turning is towards me. Cant. 7:10
His left hand under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me. Cant. 8:3
Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing. Cant. 8:7
I am a wall: and my breasts are as a tower since I am become in his presence as one finding peace. Cant. 8:10
For perverse thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise: Wis. 1:3
For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not acquit the evil speaker from his lips: for God is witness of his reins, and he is a true searcher of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. Wis. 1:6
For inquisition shall be made into the thoughts of the ungodly, and the hearing of his words shall come to God, to the chastising of his iniquities. Wis. 1:9
Let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us every where leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot. Wis. 2:9
He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, and his ways are very different. Wis. 2:15
We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father. Wis. 2:16
Let us see then if his words be true, and let us prove what shall happen to him, and we shall know what his end shall be. Wis. 2:17
For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies. Wis. 2:18
Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness, and try his patience. Wis. 2:19
Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words. Wis. 2:20
For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. Wis. 2:23
And they follow him that are of his side. Wis. 2:25
They that trust in him shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love, shall rest in him: for grace and peace are to his elect. Wis. 3:9
And the eunuch, that hath not wrought iniquity with his hands, nor thought wicked things against God for the precious gift of faith shall be given to him, and a most acceptable lot in the temple of God. Wis. 3:14
He was taken away, lest wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul. Wis. 4:11
For his soul pleased God: therefore he hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities: but the people see this, and understand not, nor lay up such things in their hearts: Wis. 4:14
That the grace of God, and his mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect to his chosen. Wis. 4:15
Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his holy arm he will defend them. Wis. 5:17
And his zeal will take armour, and he will arm the creature for the revenge of his enemies. Wis. 5:18
And he will sharpen his severe wrath for a spear, and the whole world shall fight with him against the unwise. Wis. 5:21
Because being ministers of his kingdom, you have not judged rightly, nor kept the law of justice, nor walked according to the will of God. Wis. 6:5
He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door. Wis. 6:15
For in his hand are both we, and our words, and all wisdom, and the knowledge and skill of works. Wis. 7:16
For she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness. Wis. 7:26
For it is she that teacheth the knowledge of God and is the chooser of his works. Wis. 8:4
And she brought him out of his sin, and gave him power to govern all things. Wis. 10:2
But when the unjust went away from her in his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother. Wis. 10:3
Moreover, when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son. Wis. 10:5
She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours. Wis. 10:10
She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. Wis. 10:12
For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just. Wis. 11:15
For being conversant among his works, they search: and they are persuaded that the things are good which are seen. Wis. 13:7
Or if an artist, a carpenter, hath cut down a tree proper for his use in the wood, and skilfully taken off all the bark thereof, and with his art, diligently formeth a vessel profitable for the common uses of life, Wis. 13:11
And useth the chips of his work to dress his meat: Wis. 13:12
And taking what was left thereof, which is good for nothing, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, carveth it diligently when he hath nothing else to do, and by the skill of his art fashioneth it, and maketh it like the image of a man: Wis. 13:13
And then maketh prayer to it, inquiring concerning his substance, and his children, or his marriage. And he is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life: Wis. 13:17
¤ Again, another designing to sail, and beginning to make his voyage through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more frail than the wood that carrieth him. Wis. 14:1
For this the desire of gain devised, and the workman built it by his skill. Wis. 14:2
But to God the wicked and his wickedness are hateful alike. Wis. 14:9
For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son, who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants. Wis. 14:15
For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner. Wis. 14:19
And of the same clay by a vain labour he maketh a god: he who a little before was made of earth himself, and a little after returneth to the same out of which he was taken, when his life, which was lent him, shall be called for again. Wis. 15:8
But his care is, not that he shall labour, nor that his life is short, but he striveth with the goldsmiths and silversmiths: and he endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it a glory to make vain things. Wis. 15:9
For his heart is ashes, and his hope vain earth and his life more base than clay: Wis. 15:10
Forasmuch as he knew not his maker, and him that inspired into him the soul that worketh, and that breathed into him a living spirit. Wis. 15:11
For man made them: and he that borroweth his own breath, fashioned them. For no man can make a god like to himself. Wis. 15:16
For being mortal himself, he formeth a dead thing with his wicked hands. For he is better than they whom he worshippeth, because he indeed hath lived, though he were mortal, but they never. Wis. 15:17
Yea, neither by sight can any man see good of these beasts. But they have fled from the praise of God, and from his blessing. Wis. 15:19
And one thrown here, another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death. Wis. 18:18
For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant. Wis. 18:21
For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones, the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head. Wis. 18:24
But they were struck with blindness: as those others were at the doors of the just man, when they were covered with sudden darkness, and every one sought the passage of his own door. Wis. 19:16
There is one most high Creator Almighty, and a powerful king, and greatly to be feared, who sitteth upon his throne, and is the God of dominion. Sir. 1:8
And he poured her out upon all his works, and upon all flesh according to his gift, and hath given her to them that love him. Sir. 1:10
With him that feareth the Lord, it shall go well in the latter end, and in the day of his death he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:13
It shall go well with him that feareth the Lord, and in the days of his end he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:19
For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin. Sir. 1:28
A good understanding will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom. Sir. 1:30
Is faith, and meekness: and he will fill up his treasures. Sir. 1:35
Believe God, and he will recover thee: and direct thy way, and trust in him. Keep his fear, and grow old therein. Sir. 2:6
Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy: and go not aside from him lest ye fall. Sir. 2:7
For who hath continued in his commandment, and hath been forsaken? or who hath called upon him, and he despised him? Sir. 2:12
They that fear the Lord, will not be incredulous to his word: and they that love him, will keep his way. Sir. 2:18
They that fear the Lord, will seek after the things that are well pleasing to him: and they that love him, shall be filled with his law. Sir. 2:19
They that fear the Lord, will prepare their hearts, and in his sight will sanctify their souls, Sir. 2:20
They that fear the Lord, keep his commandments, and will have patience even until his visitation, Sir. 2:21
For according to his greatness, so also is his mercy with him. Sir. 2:23
He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days. Sir. 3:4
And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up a treasure. Sir. 3:5
He that honoureth his father shall have joy in his own children, and in the day of his prayer he shall be heard. Sir. 3:6
He that honoureth his father shall enjoy a long life: and he that obeyeth the father, shall be a comfort to his mother. Sir. 3:7
He that feareth the Lord, honoureth his parents, and will serve them as his masters that brought him into the world. Sir. 3:8
That a blessing may come upon thee from him, and his blessing may remain in the latter end. Sir. 3:10
Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee. Sir. 3:12
For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son. Sir. 3:13
Son, support the old age of thy father, and grieve him not in his life; Sir. 3:14
And if his understanding fail, have patience with him, and despise him not when thou art in thy strength: for the relieving of the father shall not be forgotten. Sir. 3:15
Of what an evil fame is he that forsaketh his father: and he is cursed of God that angereth his mother. Sir. 3:18
Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability: but the things that God hath commanded thee, think on them always, and in many of his works be not curious. Sir. 3:22
In unnecessary matters be not over curious, and in many of his works thou shalt not be inquisitive. Sir. 3:24
And God provideth for him that sheweth favour: he remembereth him afterwards, and in the time of his fall he shall find a sure stay. Sir. 3:34
Despise not the hungry soul: and provoke not the poor in his want. Sir. 4:2
For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him. Sir. 4:6
If he trust to her, he shall inherit her, and his generation shall be in assurance. Sir. 4:17
She will bring upon him fear and dread and trial: and she will scourge him with the affliction of her discipline, till she try him by her laws, and trust his soul. Sir. 4:19
But if he go astray, she will forsake him, and deliver him into the hands of his enemy. Sir. 4:22
Reverence not thy neighbour in his fall: Sir. 4:27
For mercy and wrath quickly come from him, and his wrath looketh upon sinners. Sir. 5:7
For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee. Sir. 5:9
Honour and glory is in the word of the wise, but the tongue of the fool is his ruin. Sir. 5:15
For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked. Sir. 6:4
For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble. Sir. 6:8
Nothing can be compared to a faithful friend, and no weight of gold and silver is able to countervail the goodness of his fidelity. Sir. 6:15
He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be. Sir. 6:17
And if thou see a man of understanding, go to him early in the morning, and let thy foot wear the steps of his doors. Sir. 6:36
Let thy thoughts be upon the precepts of God, and meditate continually on his commandments: and he will give thee a heart, and the desire of wisdom shall be given to thee. Sir. 6:37
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one that humbleth and exalteth, God who seeth all. Sir. 7:12
Hurt not the servant that worketh faithfully, nor the hired man that giveth thee his life. Sir. 7:22
With all thy soul fear the Lord, and reverence his priests. Sir. 7:31
With all thy strength love him that made thee: and forsake not his ministers. Sir. 7:32
¤ Strive not with a powerful man, lest thou fall into his hands. Sir. 8:1
Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire. Sir. 8:4
Despise not a man in his old age; for we also shall become old. Sir. 8:7
Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils: for he goeth according to his own will, and thou shalt perish together with his folly. Sir. 8:18
Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee. Sir. 8:19
Envy not the glory and riches of a sinner: for thou knowest not what his ruin shall be. Sir. 9:16
Works shall be praised for the hand of the artificers, and the prince of the people for the wisdom of his speech, but the word of the ancients for the sense. Sir. 9:24
A man full of tongue is terrible in his city, and he that is rash in his word shall be hateful. Sir. 9:25
¤ A wise judge shall judge his people, and the government of a prudent man shall be steady. Sir. 10:1
As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein. Sir. 10:2
An unwise king shall be the ruin of his people: and cities shall be inhabited through the prudence of the rulers. Sir. 10:3
The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it. Sir. 10:4
The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour. Sir. 10:5
There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels. Sir. 10:10
Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end. Sir. 10:15
In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. Sir. 10:24
Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul? Sir. 10:32
The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear, and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. Sir. 10:33
¤ The wisdom of the humble shall exalt his head, and shall make him sit in the midst of great men. Sir. 11:1
Praise not a man for his beauty, neither despise a man for his look. Sir. 11:2
Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, and hidden. Sir. 11:4
Yet the eye of God hath looked upon him for good, and hath lifted him up from his low estate, and hath exalted his head: and many have wondered at him, and have glorified God. Sir. 11:13
The gift of God abideth with the just, and his advancement shall have success for ever. Sir. 11:17
There is one that is enriched by living sparingly, and this is the portion of his reward. Sir. 11:18
The blessing of God maketh haste to reward the just, and in a swift hour his blessing beareth fruit. Sir. 11:24
For it is easy before God in the day of death to reward every one according to his ways. Sir. 11:28
The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works. Sir. 11:29
Praise not any man before death, for a man is known by his children. Sir. 11:30
For as corrupted bowels send forth stinking breath, and as the partridge is brought into the cage, and as the roe into the snare: so also is the heart of the proud, and as a spy that looketh on the fall of his neighbour. Sir. 11:32
In the prosperity of a man, his enemies are grieved: and a friend is known in his adversity. Sir. 12:9
Never trust thy enemy for as a brass pot his wickedness rusteth: Sir. 12:10
Who will pity an enchanter struck by a serpent, or any that come near wild beasts? so is it with him that keepeth company with a wicked man, and is involved in his sins. Sir. 12:13
An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he lieth in wait, to throw thee into a pit. Sir. 12:15
An enemy weepeth with his eyes: but if he find an opportunity he will not be satisfied with blood: Sir. 12:16
An enemy hath tears in his eyes, and while he pretendeth to help thee, will undermine thy feet. Sir. 12:18
He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance. Sir. 12:19
The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he will fume: but the poor is wronged and must hold his peace. Sir. 13:4
And he will shame thee by his meats, till he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at last he will laugh at thee: and afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee. Sir. 13:8
Humble thyself to God, and wait for his hands. Sir. 13:9
Affect not to speak with him as an equal, and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets. Sir. 13:14
His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison. Sir. 13:15
All flesh shall consort with the like to itself, and every man shall associate himself to his like. Sir. 13:20
When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance. Sir. 13:25
Riches are good to him that hath no sin in his conscience: and poverty is very wicked in the mouth of the ungodly. Sir. 13:30
The heart of a man changeth his countenance, either for good, or for evil. Sir. 13:31
¤ Blessed is the man that hath not slipped by a word out of his mouth, and is not pricked with the remorse of sin. Sir. 14:1
Happy is he that hath had no sadness of his mind, and who is not fallen from his hope. Sir. 14:2
He that gathereth together by wronging his own soul, gathereth for others, and another will squander away his goods in rioting. Sir. 14:4
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? and he shall not take pleasure in his goods. Sir. 14:5
There is none worse than he that envieth himself, and this is the reward of his wickedness: Sir. 14:6
And if he do good, he doth it ignorantly, and unwillingly: and at the last he discovereth his wickedness. Sir. 14:7
The eye of the envious is wicked: and he turneth away his face, and despiseth his own soul. Sir. 14:8
The eye of the covetous man is insatiable in his portion of iniquity: he will not be satisfied till he consume his own soul, drying it up. Sir. 14:9
An evil eye is towards evil things: and he shall not have his fill of bread, but shall be needy and pensive at his own table. Sir. 14:10
Blessed is the man that shall continue in wisdom, and that shall meditate in his justice, and in his mind shall think of the all seeing eye of God. Sir. 14:22
He that considereth her ways in his heart, and hath understanding in her secrets, who goeth after her as one that traceth, and stayeth in her ways. Sir. 14:23
He that lodgeth near her house, and fastening a pin in her walls shall set up his tent nigh unto her, where good things shall rest in his lodging for ever. Sir. 14:25
He shall set his children under her shelter, and shall lodge under her branches: Sir. 14:26
And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours. Sir. 15:4
And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory. Sir. 15:5
God made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel. Sir. 15:14
He added his commandments and precepts. Sir. 15:15
According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works. Sir. 16:13
The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off. Sir. 16:14
All mercy shall make a place for every man according to the merit of his works, and according to the wisdom of his sojournment. Sir. 16:15
Behold the heaven, and the heavens of heavens, the deep, and all the earth, and the things that are in them, shall be moved in his sight, Sir. 16:18
And his ways who shall understand, and the storm, which no eye of man shall see? Sir. 16:21
For many of his works are hidden, but the works of his justice who shall declare? or who shall endure? for the testament is far from some, and the examination of all is in the end. Sir. 16:22
And I will shew forth good doctrine in equity, and will seek to declare wisdom: and attend to my words in thy heart, whilst with equity of spirit I tell thee the virtues that God hath put upon his works from the beginning, and I shew forth in truth his knowledge. Sir. 16:25
Nor shall any of them straiten his neighbour at any time. Sir. 16:28
Be not thou incredulous to his word. Sir. 16:29
After this God looked upon the earth, and filled it with his goods. Sir. 16:30
¤ God created man of the earth, and made him after his own image. Sir. 17:1
He gave him the number of his days and time, and gave him power over all things that are upon the earth. Sir. 17:3
He set his eye upon their hearts to shew them the greatness of his works: Sir. 17:7
That they might praise the name which he hath sanctified: and glory in his wondrous acts that they might declare the glorious things of his works. Sir. 17:8
He made an everlasting covenant with them, and he shewed them his justice and judgments. Sir. 17:10
And their eye saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice, and he said to them: Beware of all iniquity. Sir. 17:11
And he gave to every one of them commandment concerning his neighbour. Sir. 17:12
Their ways are always before him, they are not hidden from his eyes. Sir. 17:13
And all their works are as the sun in the sight of God: and his eyes are continually upon their ways. Sir. 17:16
Give thanks whilst thou art living, whilst thou art alive and in health thou shalt give thanks, and shalt praise God, and shalt glory in his mercies. Sir. 17:27
How great is the mercy of the Lord, and his forgiveness to them that turn to him ! Sir. 17:28
Who is able to declare his works? Sir. 18:2
For who shall search out his glorious acts? Sir. 18:3
And who shall show forth the power of his majesty? or who shall be able to declare his mercy? Sir. 18:4
What is man, and what is his grace? and what is his good, or what is his evil? Sir. 18:7
Therefore God is patient in them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them. Sir. 18:9
Therefore hath he filled up his mercy in their favour, and hath shewn them the way of justice. Sir. 18:11
The compassion of man is toward his neighbour: but the mercy of God is upon all flesh. Sir. 18:12
He hath mercy, and teacheth, and correcteth, as a shepherd doth his flock. Sir. 18:13
He hath mercy on him that receiveth the discipline of mercy, and that maketh haste in his judgments. Sir. 18:14
Remember the wrath that shall be at the last day, and the time of repaying when he shall turn away his face. Sir. 18:24
And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number. Sir. 19:3
He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised. Sir. 19:4
He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned. Sir. 19:6
And believe not every word. There is one, that slippeth with the tongue, but not from his heart. Sir. 19:16
For who is there that hath not offended with his tongue? Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him. Sir. 19:17
And there is one that uttereth an exact word telling the truth. There is one that humbleth himself wickedly, and his interior is full of deceit: Sir. 19:23
And there is one that submitteth himself exceedingly with a great lowliness: and there is one that casteth down his countenance, and maketh as if he did not see that which is unknown: Sir. 19:24
A man is known by his look, and a wise man, when thou meetest him, is known by his countenance. Sir. 19:26
There is a lying rebuke in the anger of an injurious man: and there is a judgment that is not allowed to be good: and there is one that holdeth his peace, he is wise. Sir. 19:28
There is one that holdeth his peace, that is found wise: and there is another that is hateful, that is bold in speech. Sir. 20:5
There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time. Sir. 20:6
A wise man will hold his peace till he see opportunity: but a babbler, and a fool, will regard no time. Sir. 20:7
He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated. Sir. 20:8
There is an abasement because of glory: and there is one that shall lift up his head from a low estate. Sir. 20:11
The gift of the fool shall do thee no good: for his eyes are sevenfold. Sir. 20:14
He will give a few things, and upbraid much: and the opening of his mouth is the kindling of a fire. Sir. 20:15
A fool shall have no friend, and there shall be no thanks for his good deeds. Sir. 20:17
For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn! Sir. 20:18
There is that is hindered from sinning through want, and in his rest he shall be pricked. Sir. 20:23
There is that will destroy his own soul through shamefacedness, and by occasion of an unwise person he will destroy it: and by respect of person he will destroy himself. Sir. 20:24
There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing. Sir. 20:25
A wise man shall advance himself with his words, and a prudent man shall please the great ones. Sir. 20:29
He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity. Sir. 20:30
Better is he that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom. Sir. 20:33
He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart. Sir. 21:7
He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter. Sir. 21:9
The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood, and his counsel continueth like a fountain of life. Sir. 21:16
A man of sense will praise every wise word he shall hear, and will apply it to himself: the luxurious man hath heard it, and it shall displease him, and he will cast it behind his back. Sir. 21:18
The mouth of the prudent is sought after in the church, and they will think upon his words in their hearts. Sir. 21:20
A fool lifteth up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to himself. Sir. 21:23
Learning to the prudent is as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm. Sir. 21:24
The foot of a fool is soon in his neighbour's house: but a man of experience will be abashed at the person of the mighty. Sir. 21:25
While the ungodly curseth the devil, he curseth his own soul. Sir. 21:30
The talebearer shall defile his own soul, and shall be hated by all: and he that shall abide with him shall be hateful: the silent and wise man shall be honoured. Sir. 21:31
¤ The sluggard is pelted with a dirty stone, and all men will speak of his disgrace. Sir. 22:1
The sluggard is pelted with the dung of oxen: and every one that toucheth him will shake his hands. Sir. 22:2
A son ill taught is the confusion of the father: and a foolish daughter shall be to his loss. Sir. 22:3
Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth. Sir. 22:10
Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin. Sir. 22:15
Turn away from him, and thou shalt find rest, and shalt not be wearied out with his folly. Sir. 22:16
He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship. Sir. 22:25
Keep fidelity with a friend in his poverty, that in his prosperity also thou mayst rejoice. Sir. 22:28
In the time of his trouble continue faithful to him, that thou mayst also be heir with him in his inheritance. Sir. 22:29
I will not be ashamed to salute a friend, neither will I hide myself from his face: and if any evil happen to me by him, I will bear it. Sir. 22:31
Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth, and he that will keep it shall not perish by his lips, nor be brought to fall into most wicked works. Sir. 23:7
A sinner is caught in his own vanity, and the proud and the evil speakers shall fall thereby. Sir. 23:8
A man that sweareth much, shall be filled with iniquity, and a scourge shall not depart from his house. Sir. 23:12
And if he make it void, his sin shall be upon him, and if he dissemble it, he offendeth double: Sir. 23:13
And if he swear in vain, he shall not be justified: for his house shall be filled with his punishment. Sir. 23:14
The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words, will never be corrected all the days of his life. Sir. 23:20
And a man that is wicked in the mouth of his flesh, will not leave off till he hath kindled a fire. Sir. 23:23
Every man that passeth beyond his own bed, despising his own soul, and saying: Who seeth me? Sir. 23:25
And he understandeth not that his eye seeth all things, for such a man's fear driveth from him the fear of God, and the eyes of men fearing him: Sir. 23:27
And shall open her mouth in the churches of the most High, and shall glorify herself in the sight of his power, Sir. 24:2
And I took root in an honourable people, and in the portion of my God his inheritance, and my abode is in the full assembly of saints. Sir. 24:16
He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever. Sir. 24:34
A man that hath joy of his children: and he that liveth and seeth the fall of his enemies. Sir. 25:10
Blessed is he that dwelleth with a wise woman, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served such as are unworthy of him. Sir. 25:11
The fear of God is the beginning of his love: and the beginning of faith is to be fast joined unto it. Sir. 25:16
¤ Happy is the husband of a good wife: for the number of his years is double. Sir. 26:1
A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and shall fulfil the years of his life in peace. Sir. 26:2
A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds. Sir. 26:3
Rich or poor, if his heart is good, his countenance shall be cheerful at all times. Sir. 26:4
The grace of a diligent woman shall delight her husband, and shall fat his bones. Sir. 26:16
¤ Through poverty many have sinned: and he that seeketh to be enriched, turneth away his eye. Sir. 27:1
As when one sifteth with a sieve, the dust will remain: so will the perplexity of a man in his thoughts. Sir. 27:5
The speech that sweareth much shall make the hair of the head stand upright: and its irreverence shall make one stop his ears. Sir. 27:15
He that discloseth the secret of a friend loseth his credit, and shall never find a friend to his mind. Sir. 27:17
But if thou discover his secrets, follow no more after him. Sir. 27:19
For as a man that destroyeth his friend, so also is he that destroyeth the friendship of his neighbour. Sir. 27:20
And as one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and thou shalt not get him again. Sir. 27:21
Follow after him no more, for he is gone afar off, he is fled, as a roe escaped out of the snare because his soul is wounded. Sir. 27:22
In the sight of thy eyes he will sweeten his mouth, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and on thy words he will lay a stumblingblock. Sir. 27:26
If one cast a stone on high, it will fall upon his own head: and the deceitful stroke will wound the deceitful. Sir. 27:28
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it. Sir. 27:29
¤ He that seeketh to revenge himself, shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance. Sir. 28:1
He hath no mercy on a man like himself, and doth he entreat for his own sins? Sir. 28:4
He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins? Sir. 28:5
For corruption and death hang over in his commandments. Sir. 28:7
For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace. Sir. 28:11
For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth, and as a man's strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger. Sir. 28:12
¤ He that sheweth mercy, lendeth to his neighbour: and he that is stronger in hand, keepeth the commandments. Sir. 29:1
Lend to thy neighbour in the time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due time. Sir. 29:2
But if not, he will defraud him of his money, and he shall get him for an enemy without cause. Sir. 29:8
Help the poor because of the commandment: and send him not away empty handed because of his poverty. Sir. 29:12
A good man is surety for his neighbour: and he that hath lost shame, will leave him to himself. Sir. 29:18
Forget not the kindness of thy surety: for he hath given his life for thee. Sir. 29:19
The sinner and the unclean fleeth from his surety. Sir. 29:20
A sinner attributeth to himself the goods of his surety: and he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him that delivered him. Sir. 29:21
A man is surety for his neighbour: and when he hath lost all shame, he shall forsake him. Sir. 29:22
It is a miserable life to go as a guest from house to house: for where a man is a stranger, he shall not deal confidently, nor open his mouth. Sir. 29:30
¤ He that loveth his son, frequently chastiseth him, that he may rejoice in his latter end, and not grope after the doors of his neighbours. Sir. 30:1
He that instructeth his son shall be praised in him, and shall glory in him in the midst of them of his household. Sir. 30:2
He that teacheth his son, maketh his enemy jealous, and in the midst of his friends he shall glory in him. Sir. 30:3
His father is dead, and he is as if he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. Sir. 30:4
While he lived he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died he was not sorrowful, neither was he confounded before his enemies. Sir. 30:5
For he left behind him a defender of his house against his enemies, and one that will requite kindness to his friends. Sir. 30:6
For the souls of his sons he shall bind up his wounds, and at every cry his bowels shall be troubled. Sir. 30:7
Give thy son his way, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he shall make thee sorrowful. Sir. 30:9
Give him not liberty in his youth, and wink not at his devices. Sir. 30:11
Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat his sides while he is a child, lest he grow stubborn, and regard thee not, and so be a sorrow of heart to thee. Sir. 30:12
Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee. Sir. 30:13
So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity: Sir. 30:20
He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing. Sir. 30:21
Have pity on thy own soul, pleasing God, and contain thyself: gather up thy heart in his holiness: and drive away sadness far from thee. Sir. 30:24
A cheerful and good heart is always feasting: for his banquets are prepared with diligence. Sir. 30:27
The rich man hath laboured in gathering riches together, and when he resteth he shall be filled with his goods. Sir. 31:3
The poor man hath laboured in his low way of life, and in the end he is still poor. Sir. 31:4
Blessed is the rich man that is found without blemish: and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures. Sir. 31:8
Who is he, and we will praise him? for he hath done wonderful things in his life. Sir. 31:9
Therefore are his goods established in the Lord, and all the church of the saints shall declare his alms. Sir. 31:11
Sound and wholesome sleep with a moderate man: he shall sleep till morning, and his soul shall be delighted with him. Sir. 31:24
The lips of many shall bless him that is liberal of his bread, and the testimony of his truth is faithful. Sir. 31:28
Against him that is niggardly of his bread, the city will murmur, and the testimony of his niggardliness is true. Sir. 31:29
What is his life, who is diminished with wine? Sir. 31:33
Rebuke not thy neighbour in a banquet of wine: and despise him not in his mirth. Sir. 31:41
And for all these things bless the Lord, that made thee, and that replenisheth thee with all his good things. Sir. 32:17
He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing. Sir. 32:18
A sinful man will flee reproof, and will find an excuse according to his will. Sir. 32:21
Even after he hath done with fear without counsel, he shall be controlled by the things of his own seeking. Sir. 32:23
The heart of a fool is as a wheel of a cart: and his thoughts are like a rolling axletree. Sir. 33:5
By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished, the sun being made, and keeping his commandment. Sir. 33:8
As the potter's clay is in his hand, to fashion and order it: Sir. 33:13
All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his judgment. Sir. 33:14
He worketh under correction, and seeketh to rest: let his hands be idle, and he seeketh liberty. Sir. 33:26
The spirit of those that fear God, is sought after, and by his regard shall be blessed. Sir. 34:14
He that feareth the Lord shall tremble at nothing, and shall not be afraid: for he is his hope. Sir. 34:16
To whom doth he look, and who is his strength? Sir. 34:18
He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father. Sir. 34:24
He that taketh away the bread gotten by sweat, is like him that killeth his neighbour. Sir. 34:26
He that sheddeth blood, and he that defraudeth the laborer of his hire, are brothers. Sir. 34:27
He that washeth himself after touching the dead, if he toucheth him again, what doth his washing avail? Sir. 34:30
So a man that fasteth for his sins, and doth the same again, what doth his humbling himself profit him? who will hear his prayer? Sir. 34:31
He that adoreth God with joy, shall be accepted, and his prayer shall approach even to the clouds. Sir. 35:20
Till he have rendered to men according to their deeds: and according to the works of Adam, and according to his presumption, Sir. 35:24
Till he have judged the cause of his people, and he shall delight the just with his mercy. Sir. 35:25
¤ Every friend will say: I also am his friend: but there is a friend, that is only a friend in name. Is not this a grief even to death? Sir. 37:1
There is a companion who rejoiceth with his friend in his joys, but in the time of trouble, he will be against him. Sir. 37:4
There is a companion who condoleth with his friend for his belly's sake, and he will take up a shield against the enemy. Sir. 37:5
Beware of a counsellor. And know before what need he hath: for he will devise to his own mind: Sir. 37:9
A wicked word shall change the heart: out of which four manner of things arise, good and evil, life and death: and the tongue is continually the ruler of them. There is a man that is subtle and a teacher of many, and yet is unprofitable to his own soul. Sir. 37:21
A skilful man hath taught many, and is sweet to his own soul. Sir. 37:22
There is a wise man that is wise to his own soul: and the fruit of his understanding is commendable. Sir. 37:25
A wise man instructeth his own people, and the fruits of his understanding are faithful. Sir. 37:26
The life of a man is in the number of his days: but the days of Israel are innumerable. Sir. 37:28
A wise man shall inherit honour among his people, and his name shall live for ever. Sir. 37:29
The skill of the physician shall lift up his head, and in the sight of great men he shall be praised. Sir. 38:3
The virtue of these things is come to the knowledge of men, and the most High hath given knowledge to men, that he may be honoured in his wonders. Sir. 38:6
By these he shall cure and shall allay their pains, and of these the apothecary shall make sweet confections, and shall make up ointments of health, and of his works there shall be no end. Sir. 38:7
For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary. Sir. 38:12
He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician. Sir. 38:15
My son, shed tears over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered some great harm, and according to judgment cover his body, and neglect not his burial. Sir. 38:16
And make mourning for him according to his merit for a day, or two, for fear of detraction. Sir. 38:18
In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart. Sir. 38:20
When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, and comfort him in the departing of his spirit. Sir. 38:24
The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom. Sir. 38:25
With what wisdom shall he be furnished that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth the oxen therewith, and is occupied in their labours, and his whole talk is about the offspring of bulls? Sir. 38:26
He shall give his mind to turn up furrows, and his care is to give the kine fodder. Sir. 38:27
So every craftsman and workmaster that laboureth night and day, he who maketh graven seals, and by his continual diligence varieth the figure: he shall give his mind to the resemblance of the picture, and by his watching shall finish the work. Sir. 38:28
So doth the smith sitting by the anvil and considering the iron work. The vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace. Sir. 38:29
The noise of the hammer is always in his ears, and his eye is upon the pattern of the vessel he maketh. Sir. 38:30
He setteth his mind to finish his work, and his watching to polish them to perfection. Sir. 38:31
So doth the potter sitting at his work, turning the wheel about with his feet, who is always carefully set to his work, and maketh all his work by number: Sir. 38:32
He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet: Sir. 38:33
He shall give his mind to finish the glazing, and his watching to make clean the furnace. Sir. 38:34
All these trust to their hands, and every one is wise in his own art. Sir. 38:35
He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and he will pray in the sight of the most High. Sir. 39:6
He will open his mouth in prayer, and will make supplication for his sins. Sir. 39:7
And he will pour forth the words of his wisdom as showers, and in his prayer he will confess to the Lord. Sir. 39:9
And he shall direct his counsel, and his knowledge, and in his secrets shall he meditate. Sir. 39:10
Many shall praise his wisdom, and it shall never be forgotten. Sir. 39:12
The memory of him shall not depart away, and his name shall be in request from generation to generation. Sir. 39:13
Nations shall declare his wisdom, and the church shall shew forth his praise. Sir. 39:14
If he continue, he shall leave a name above a thousand: and if he rest, it shall be to his advantage. Sir. 39:15
Send forth flowers, as the lily, and yield a smell, and bring forth leaves in grace, and praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in his works. Sir. 39:19
Magnify his name, and give glory to him with the voice of your lips, and with the canticles of your mouths, and with harps, and in praising him, you shall say in this manner: Sir. 39:20
At his word the waters stood as a heap: and at the words of his mouth the receptacles of waters: Sir. 39:22
For at his commandment favour is shewn, and there is no diminishing of his salvation. Sir. 39:23
The works of all flesh are before him, and there is nothing hid from his eyes. Sir. 39:24
His blessing hath overflowed like a river. Sir. 39:27
And as a flood hath watered the earth; so shall his wrath inherit the nations, that have not sought after him. Sir. 39:28
Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath. Sir. 39:29
In his commandments they shall feast, and they shall be ready upon earth when need is, and when their time is come they shall not transgress his word. Sir. 39:37
And in the time of rest upon his bed, the sleep of the night changeth his knowledge. Sir. 40:5
A little and as nothing is his rest, and afterward in sleep, as in the day of keeping watch. Sir. 40:6
He is troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he had escaped in the day of battle. In the time of his safety he rose up, and wondereth that there is no fear. Sir. 40:7
While he openeth his hands he shall rejoice: but transgressors shall pine away in the end. Sir. 40:14
The life of him that looketh toward another man's table is not to be counted a life: for he feedeth his soul with another man's meat. Sir. 40:30
Begging will be sweet in the mouth of the unwise, but in his belly there shall burn a fire. Sir. 40:32
¤ O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that hath peace in his possessions! Sir. 41:1
The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his sake they are in reproach. Sir. 41:10
Better is the man that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom. Sir. 41:18
Gaze not upon another man's wife, and be not inquisitive after his handmaid, and approach not her bed. Sir. 41:27
Of the law of the most High, and of his covenant, and of judgment to justify the ungodly: Sir. 42:2
The father waketh for the daughter when no man knoweth, and the care for her taketh away his sleep, when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age, and when she is married, lest she should be hateful: Sir. 42:9
I will now remember the works of the Lord, and I will declare the things I have seen. By the words of the Lord are his works. Sir. 42:15
The sun giving light hath looked upon all things, and full of the glory of the Lord is his work. Sir. 42:16
Hath not the Lord made the saints to declare all his wonderful works, which the Lord Almighty hath firmly settled to be established for his glory? Sir. 42:17
He hath beautified the glorious works of his wisdom: and he is from eternity to eternity, and to him nothing may be added, Sir. 42:21
O how desirable are all his works, and what we can know is but as a spark! Sir. 42:23
He hath established the good things of every one. And who shall be filled with beholding his glory? Sir. 42:26
¤ The firmament on high is his beauty, the beauty of heaven with its glorious shew. Sir. 43:1
The sun when he appeareth shewing forth at his rising, an admirable instrument, the work of the most High. Sir. 43:2
At noon he burneth the earth, and who can abide his burning heat? As one keeping a furnace in the works of heat: Sir. 43:3
The sun three times as much, burneth the mountains, breathing out fiery vapours, and shining with his beams, he blindeth the eyes. Sir. 43:4
Great is the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course. Sir. 43:5
By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall apace, and sendeth forth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment. Sir. 43:14
By his greatness he hath fixed the clouds, and the hailstones are broken. Sir. 43:16
At his sight shall the mountains be shaken, and at his will the south wind shall blow. Sir. 43:17
The noise of his thunder shall strike the earth, so doth the northern storm, and the whirlwind: Sir. 43:18
At his word the wind is still, and with his thought he appeaseth the deep, and the Lord hath planted islands therein. Sir. 43:25
Through him is established the end of their journey, and by his word all things are regulated. Sir. 43:28
What shall we be able to do to glorify him? for the Almighty himself is above all his works. Sir. 43:30
The Lord is terrible, and exceeding great, and his power is admirable. Sir. 43:31
Glorify the Lord as much as ever you can, for he will yet far exceed, and his magnificence is wonderful. Sir. 43:32
There are many things hidden from us that are greater than these: for we have seen but a few of his works. Sir. 43:36
The Lord hath wrought great glory through his magnificence from the beginning. Sir. 44:2
In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful. Sir. 44:21
Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth, Sir. 44:22
And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. Sir. 44:23
And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father. Sir. 44:24
The Lord gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed his covenant upon the head of Jacob. Sir. 44:25
He acknowledged him in his blessings, and gave him an inheritance, and divided him his portion in twelve tribes. Sir. 44:26
He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. Sir. 45:2
He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory. Sir. 45:3
He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. Sir. 45:4
For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. Sir. 45:5
And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments. Sir. 45:6
He exalted Aaron his brother, and like to himself of the tribe of Levi: Sir. 45:7
That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people. Sir. 45:11
And a crown of gold upon his mitre wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour: a work of power, and delightful to the eyes for its beauty. Sir. 45:14
No stranger was ever clothed with them, but only his children alone, and his grandchildren for ever. Sir. 45:16
His sacrifices were consumed with fire every day. Sir. 45:17
Moses filled his hands and anointed him with holy oil. Sir. 45:18
This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name. Sir. 45:19
He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people: Sir. 45:20
And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law. Sir. 45:21
The Lord God saw and it pleased him not, and they were consumed in his wrathful indignation. Sir. 45:23
He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed. Sir. 45:26
But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance. Sir. 45:27
And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel. Sir. 45:29
Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever. Sir. 45:30
And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good things might not be abolished, and he made their glory in their nation everlasting. Sir. 45:31
¤ Valiant in war was Jesus the son of Nave, who was successor of Moses among the prophets, who was great according to his name, Sir. 46:1
How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities? Sir. 46:3
Was not the sun stopped in his anger, and one day made as two? Sir. 46:5
He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries. Sir. 46:7
That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one: Sir. 46:8
And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance: Sir. 46:11
Samuel the prophet of the Lord, the beloved of the Lord his God, established a new government, and anointed princes over his people. Sir. 46:16
By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the God of Jacob beheld, and by his fidelity he was proved a prophet. Sir. 46:17
And he was known to be faithful in his words, because he saw the God of light: Sir. 46:18
And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard. Sir. 46:20
And before the time of the end of his life in the world, he protested before the Lord, and his anointed: money, or any thing else, even to a shoe, he had not taken of any man, and no man did accuse him. Sir. 46:22
And after this he slept, and he made known to the king, and shewed him the end of his life, and he lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy to blot out the wickedness of the nation. Sir. 46:23

And the decree being gone forth, the wise men were slain: and Daniel and his companions were sought for, to be put to death. Dan. 2:13
And he went into his house, and told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias, his companions: Dan. 2:17
To the end that they should ask mercy at the face of the God of heaven, concerning this secret, and that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:18
And speaking, he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his. Dan. 2:20
But in the days of those kingdoms, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people: and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms: and itself shall stand for ever. Dan. 2:44
Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense. Dan. 2:46
¤ Now there was a man that dwelt in Babylon, and his name was Joakim: Dan. 13:1
Now Joakim was very rich, and had an orchard near his house: and the Jews resorted to him, because he was the most honourable of them all. Dan. 13:4
But Helcias, and his wife, praised God, for their daughter, Susanna, with Joakim, her husband, and all her kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her. Dan. 13:63
Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated. Dan. 3:19
And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:20
Then Azarias standing up, prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said: Dan. A:2
But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace, Dan. A:26
O give thanks to the Lord, because he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever and ever. Dan. A:66
O all ye religious, bless the Lord, the God of gods: praise him, and give him thanks, because his mercy endureth for ever and ever. Dan. A:67
Then Nabuchodonosor, the king, was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: True, O king. Dan. 3:24
Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king's word, and delivered up their bodies, that they might not serve nor adore any god except their own God. Dan. 3:28
His signs, because they are great: and his wonders, because they are mighty: and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power to all generations. Dan. 4:3
Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given him: and let seven times pass over him. Dan. 4:16
Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy enemies. Dan. 4:19
And whereas the king saw a watcher, and a holy one come down from heaven, and say: Cut down the tree, and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass, among the grass without, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, till seven times pass over him. Dan. 4:23
The same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor, and he was driven away from among men, and did eat grass, like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till his hairs grew like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like birds' claws. Dan. 4:33
Now at the end of the days, I, Nabuchodonosor, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations. Dan. 4:34
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it? Dan. 4:35
Therefore I, Nabuchodonosor, do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase. Dan. 4:37
¤ Baltasar, the king, made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age. Dan. 5:1
And being now drunk, he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nabuchodonosor, his father, had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them. Dan. 5:2
Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. Dan. 5:3
Then was the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other. Dan. 5:6
And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom. Dan. 5:7
Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled. Dan. 5:9
Then the queen, on occasion of what had happened to the king, and his nobles, came into the banquet-house: and she spoke, and said: O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed. Dan. 5:10
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away. Dan. 5:20
And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him. Dan. 5:21
Thou also, his son, O Baltasar, hast not humbled thy heart, whereas thou knewest all these things: Dan. 5:22
But hast lifted thyself up against the Lord of heaven: and the vessels of his house have been brought before thee: and thou, and thy nobles, and thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them: and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and of gold, and of brass, of iron, and of wood, and of stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor feel: but the God who hath thy breath in his hand, and all thy ways, thou hast not glorified. Dan. 5:23
Then by the king's command, Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom. Dan. 5:29
¤ It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors, to be over his whole kingdom. Dan. 6:1
Then these men said: We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless perhaps concerning the law of his God. Dan. 6:5
Now, when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before. Dan. 6:10
Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God. Dan. 6:11
Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer. Dan. 6:13
Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him, and even till sunset he laboured to save him. Dan. 6:14
And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against Daniel. Dan. 6:17
And the king went away to his house, and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed from him. Dan. 6:18
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea, and before thee, O king, I have done no offence. Dan. 6:22
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God. Dan. 6:23
It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever. Dan. 6:26
And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers; and Cyrus, the Persian, received his kingdom. Dan. 13:65
¤ And Daniel was the king's guest, and was honoured above all his friends. Dan. 14:1
The king also worshipped him, and went every day to adore him: but Daniel adored his God. And the king said to him: Why dost thou not adore Bel? Dan. 14:3
And the king being angry, called for his priests, and said to them: If you tell me not who it is that eateth up these expenses, you shall die. Dan. 14:7
So it came to pass after they were gone out, the king set the meats before Bel: and Daniel commanded his servants, and they brought ashes, and he sifted them all over the temple before the king: and going forth, they shut the door, and having sealed it with the king's ring, they departed. Dan. 14:13
The king, therefore, put them to death, and delivered Bel into the power of Daniel: who destroyed him and his temple. Dan. 14:21
And the angel of the Lord took him by the top of his head, and carried him by the hair of his head, and set him in Babylon, over the den, in the force of his spirit. Dan. 14:35
And Daniel arose, and ate. And the angel of the Lord presently set Habacuc again in his own place. Dan. 14:38
But those that had been the cause of his destruction, he cast into the den, and they were devoured in a moment before him. Dan. 14:41
¤ In the first year of Baltasar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in a few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said: Dan. 7:1
I beheld till thrones were placed, and the ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire. Dan. 7:9
And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed. Dan. 7:14
After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet: Dan. 7:19
And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest. Dan. 7:20
And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time. Dan. 7:25
And judgment shall sit, that his power may be taken away, and be broken in pieces, and perish even to the end. Dan. 7:26
I saw the ram pushing with his horns against the west, and against the north, and against the south: and no beasts could withstand him, nor be delivered out of his hand: and he did according to his own will, and became great. Dan. 8:4
And I understood: and behold a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and he touched not the ground, and the he goat had a notable horn between his eyes. Dan. 8:5
And he went up to the ram that had the horns, which I had seen standing before the gate, and he ran towards him in the force of his strength. Dan. 8:6
And when he was come near the ram, he was enraged against him, and struck the ram: and broke his two horns, and the ram could not withstand him: and when he had cast him down on the ground, he stamped upon him, and none could deliver the ram out of his hand. Dan. 8:7
And it was magnified even to the prince of the strength: and it took away from him the continual sacrifice, and cast down the place of his sanctuary. Dan. 8:11
And the he goat, is the king of the Greeks, and the great horn that was between his eyes, the same is the first king. Dan. 8:21
But whereas when that was broken, there arose up four for it, four kings shall rise up of his nation, but not with his strength. Dan. 8:22
And his power shall be strengthened, but not by his own force: and he shall lay all things waste, and shall prosper, and do more than can be believed. And he shall destroy the mighty, and the people of the saints, Dan. 8:24
According to his will, and craft shall be successful in his hand: and his heart shall be puffed up, and in the abundance of all things he shall kill many: and he shall rise up against the prince of princes, and shall be broken without hand. Dan. 8:25
The first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem. Dan. 9:2
And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, our God, to walk in his law, which he set before us by his servants, the prophets. Dan. 9:10
And he hath confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our princes that judged us, that he would bring in upon us a great evil, such as never was under all the heaven, according to that which hath been done in Jerusalem. Dan. 9:12
And the Lord hath watched upon the evil, and hath brought it upon us: the Lord, our God, is just in all his works which he hath done: for we have not hearkened to his voice. Dan. 9:14
Now, therefore, O our God, hear the supplication of thy servant, and his prayers: and shew thy face upon thy sanctuary, which is desolate, for thy own sake. Dan. 9:17
And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny him shall not be his. And a people, with their leader, that shall come, shall destroy the city, and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation. Dan. 9:26
And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw: and behold a man clothed in linen, and his loins were girded with the finest gold: Dan. 10:5
And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude. Dan. 10:6
And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard I lay in a consternation upon my face, and my face was close to the ground. Dan. 10:9
And now I will shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be enriched exceedingly above them all: and when he shall be grown mighty by his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. Dan. 11:2
And when he shall come to his height, his kingdom shall be broken, and it shall be divided towards the four winds of the heaven: but not to his posterity, nor according to his power with which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be rent in pieces, even for strangers, beside these. Dan. 11:4
And the king of the south shall be strengthened, and one of his princes shall prevail over him, and he shall rule with great power: for his dominion shall be great. Dan. 11:5
And the king of the south shall enter into the kingdom, and shall return to his own land. Dan. 11:9
And his sons shall be provoked, and they shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and he shall come with haste like a flood: and he shall return, and be stirred up, and he shall join battle with his force. Dan. 11:10
And the king of the south being provoked, shall go forth, and shall fight against the king of the north, and shall prepare an exceeding great multitude, and a multitude shall be given into his hand. Dan. 11:11
And he shall take a multitude, and his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall cast down many thousands: but he shall not prevail. Dan. 11:12
And the king of the north shall come, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take the best fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, and his chosen ones shall rise up to resist, and they shall not have strength. Dan. 11:15
And he shall come upon him, and do according to his pleasure, and there shall be none to stand against his face: and he shall stand in the glorious land, and it shall be consumed by his hand. Dan. 11:16
And he shall set his face to come to possess all his kingdom, and he shall make upright conditions with him: and he shall give him a daughter of women, to overthrow it: and she shall not stand, neither shall she be for him. Dan. 11:17
And he shall turn his face to the islands, and shall take many: and he shall cause the prince of his reproach to cease, and his reproach shall be turned upon him. Dan. 11:18
And he shall turn his face to the empire of his own land, and he shall stumble, and fall, ans shall not be found. Dan. 11:19
And there shall stand up in his place one most vile, and unworthy of kingly honour: and in a few days he shall be destroyed, not in rage nor in battle. Dan. 11:20
And there shall stand up in his place one despised, and the kingly honour shall not be given him: and he shall come privately, and shall obtain the kingdom by fraud. Dan. 11:21
And the arms of the fighter shall be overcome before his face, and shall be broken: yea, also the prince of the covenant. Dan. 11:22
And he shall enter into rich and plentiful cities: and he shall do that which his fathers never did, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter their spoils, and their prey, and their riches, and shall forecast devices against the best fenced places: and this until a time. Dan. 11:24
And his strength, and his heart, shall be stirred up against the king of the south, with a great army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with many and very strong succours: and they shall not stand, for they shall form designs against him. Dan. 11:25
And they that eat bread with him, shall destroy him, and his army shall be overthrown: and many shall fall down slain. Dan. 11:26
And he shall return into his land with much riches: and his heart shall be against the holy covenant, and he shall succeed, and shall return into his own land. Dan. 11:28
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall defile the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the continual sacrifice: and they shall place there the abomination unto desolation. Dan. 11:31
And the king shall do according to his will, and he shall be lifted up, and shall magnify himself against every god: and he shall speak great things against the God of gods, and shall prosper, till the wrath be accomplished. For the determination is made. Dan. 11:36
And he shall make no account of the God of his fathers: and he shall follow the lust of women, and he shall not regard any gods: for he shall rise up against all things. Dan. 11:37
But he shall worship the god Maozim, in his place: and a god whom his fathers knew not, he shall worship with gold, and silver, and precious stones, and things of great price. Dan. 11:38
And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many shall fall: and these only shall be saved out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the principality of the children of Ammon. Dan. 11:41
And he shall lay his hand upon the lands: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. Dan. 11:42
And he shall fix his tabernacle, Apadno, between the seas, upon a glorious and holy mountain: and he shall come even to the top thereof, and none shall help him. Dan. 11:45
And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the waters of the river, when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left hand to heaven, and had sworn by him that liveth for ever, that it should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all these things shall be finished. Dan. 12:7
And the Lord said to him: Call his name Jezrahel: for yet a little while, and I will visit the blood of Jezrahel upon the house of Jehu, and I will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel. Osee 1:4

The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners. Osee 7:5

Ephraim, as I saw, was a Tyre, founded in beauty: and Ephraim shall bring out his children to the murderer. Osee 9:13
¤ Israel a vine full of branches, the fruit is agreeable to it: according to the multitude of his fruit, he hath multiplied altars, according to the plenty of his land he hath abounded with idols. Osee 10:1

And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as the king had commanded. 1 Ma. 4:27
And they saw that the army was strong, and he prayed and said: Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst break the violence of the mighty by the hand of thy servant David, and didst deliver up the camp of the strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and of his armour bearer. 1 Ma. 4:30
And when Lysias saw that his men were put to flight, and how bold the Jews were, and that they were ready either to live, or to die manfully, he went to Antioch, and chose soldiers, that they might come again into Judea with greater numbers. 1 Ma. 4:35
Then Judas, and his brethren said: Behold our enemies are discomfited: let us go up now to cleanse the holy places, and to repair them. 1 Ma. 4:36
And Judas, and his brethren, and all the church of Israel decreed, that the day of the dedication of the altar should be kept in its season from year to year for eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month of Casleu, with joy and gladness. 1 Ma. 4:59
And they sent letters to Judas, and his brethren, saying: The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us to destroy us: 1 Ma. 5:10
And Judas said to Simon, his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan, will go into the country of Galaad: 1 Ma. 5:17
And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais. 1 Ma. 5:21
And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan, his brother, passed over the Jordan, and went three days' journey through the desert. 1 Ma. 5:24
Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire. 1 Ma. 5:28
And he said to his host: Fight ye today for your brethren. 1 Ma. 5:32
And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face and they made a great slaughter of them, and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men. 1 Ma. 5:34
And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us. 1 Ma. 5:40
And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night; and the city was delivered into his hands: 1 Ma. 5:50
Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee, before Ptolemais, 1 Ma. 5:55
And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia. 1 Ma. 5:58
And Gorgias and his men went out of the city, to give them battle. 1 Ma. 5:59
Because they did not hearken to Judas and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully. 1 Ma. 5:61
Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land towards the south, and he took Chebron and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof, and the towers all round it. 1 Ma. 5:65
And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he went through Samaria. 1 Ma. 5:66
And that they had thrown down the abomination which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also, his city. 1 Ma. 6:7
And it came to pass, when the king heard these words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined. 1 Ma. 6:8
And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety: 1 Ma. 6:10
Then he called Philip, one of his friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom. 1 Ma. 6:14
And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus, his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom. 1 Ma. 6:15
And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus, his son, to reign, whom he had brought up young: and he called his name Eupator. 1 Ma. 6:17
We determined to serve thy father, and to do according to his orders, and obey his edicts: 1 Ma. 6:23
Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen. 1 Ma. 6:28
And the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and thirty-two elephants trained to battle. 1 Ma. 6:30
And the king rose before it was light, and made his troops march on fiercely towards the way of Bethzacharam: and the armies made themselves ready for the battle, and they sounded the trumpets: 1 Ma. 6:33
And Judas and his army drew near for battle: and there fell of the king's army six hundred men. 1 Ma. 6:42
And he exposed himself to deliver his people, and to get himself an everlasting name. 1 Ma. 6:44
Then they seeing the strength of the king and the fierceness of his army, turned away from them. 1 Ma. 6:47
And he turned his army against the sanctuary for many days: and he set up there battering slings, and engines, and instruments to cast fire, and engines to cast stones and javelins, and pieces to shoot arrows, and slings. 1 Ma. 6:51
And there remained in the holy places but a few, for the famine had prevailed over them: and they were dispersed every man to his own place. 1 Ma. 6:54
Now Lysias heard that Philip; whom king Antiochus while he lived had appointed to bring up his son, Antiochus, and to reign, 1 Ma. 6:55
And it came to pass as he entered into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, that the army seized upon Antiochus, and Lysias, to bring them unto him. 1 Ma. 7:2
So the army slew them. And Demetrius sat upon the throne of his kingdom: 1 Ma. 7:4
And they accused the people to the king, saying: Judas and his brethren have destroyed all thy friends, and he hath driven us out of our land. 1 Ma. 7:6
Now, therefore, send some men whom thou trustest, and let him go, and see all the havoc he hath made amongst us, and in the king's lands: and let him punish all his friends and their helpers. 1 Ma. 7:7
Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends, that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him, 1 Ma. 7:8
And they arose, and came with a great army into the land of Juda: and they sent messengers, and spoke to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words, deceitfully. 1 Ma. 7:10
But Alcimus did what he could to maintain his chief priesthood. 1 Ma. 7:21
And the king sent Nicanor, one of his principal lords, who was a great enemy to Israel: and he commanded him to destroy the people. 1 Ma. 7:26
And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and to his brethren deceitfully, with friendly words, 1 Ma. 7:27
And the thing was known to Judas that he was come to him with deceit: and he was much afraid of him, and would not see his face any more. 1 Ma. 7:30
And Nicanor knew that his counsel was discovered: and he went out to fight against Judas, near Capharsalama. 1 Ma. 7:31
And swore in anger, saying: Unless Judas and his army be delivered into my hands, as soon as ever I return in peace, I will burn this house. And he went out in a great rage. 1 Ma. 7:35
Be avenged of this man, and his army, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer. 1 Ma. 7:38
Even so destroy this army in our sight today and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness. 1 Ma. 7:42
And when his army saw that Nicanor was slain they threw away their weapons, and fled: 1 Ma. 7:44
And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over against Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 7:47
Judas Machabeus, and his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us to you to make alliance and peace with you, and that we may be registered your confederates and friends. 1 Ma. 8:20
¤ In the mean time, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them. 1 Ma. 9:1
Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him: 1 Ma. 9:5
And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged. 1 Ma. 9:7
But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many. 1 Ma. 9:22
Now, therefore, we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain, in his stead, to fight our battles. 1 Ma. 9:30
So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas, his brother 1 Ma. 9:31
And Jonathan, and Simon, his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar, 1 Ma. 9:33
And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself, with all his army, over the Jordan, on the sabbath day. 1 Ma. 9:34
And Jonathan sent his brother, a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious. 1 Ma. 9:35
After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon, his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp. 1 Ma. 9:37
And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments and many weapons. 1 Ma. 9:39
And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before. 1 Ma. 9:44
And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards. 1 Ma. 9:47
At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house. 1 Ma. 9:55
And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them. 1 Ma. 9:60
And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea. 1 Ma. 9:63
But Jonathan left his brother, Simon, in the city and went forth into the country, and came with a number of men, 1 Ma. 9:65
And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron, in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces. 1 Ma. 9:66
And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain. 1 Ma. 9:68
And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life. 1 Ma. 9:71
And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned, and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders. 1 Ma. 9:72
For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation. 1 Ma. 10:5
And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him. 1 Ma. 10:6
And every man left his place, and departed into his own country: 1 Ma. 10:13
And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured. 1 Ma. 10:15
King Alexander to his brother, Jonathan, greetings. 1 Ma. 10:18
And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius. 1 Ma. 10:48
And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom: 1 Ma. 10:53
So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais, in the hundred and sixty-second year. 1 Ma. 10:57
And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter, Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, after the manner of kings. 1 Ma. 10:58
And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause. 1 Ma. 10:63
So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away. 1 Ma. 10:64
And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor, and partaker of his dominion. 1 Ma. 10:65
In the year one hundred and sixty-five, Demetrius, the son of Demetrius, came from Crete into the land of his fathers. 1 Ma. 10:67
And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan, the high priest, 1 Ma. 10:69
Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon, his brother, met him to help him. 1 Ma. 10:74
And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening. 1 Ma. 10:80
Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled. 1 Ma. 10:82
And Jonathan, removed his army from thence and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour. 1 Ma. 10:86
And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils. 1 Ma. 10:87
¤ And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom. 1 Ma. 11:1
And he went out into Syria with peaceable words and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law. 1 Ma. 11:2
And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace. 1 Ma. 11:5
And he slandered him, because he coveted his kingdom, 1 Ma. 11:11
And he took away his daughter, and gave her to Demetrius, and alienated himself from Alexander, and his enmities were made manifest. 1 Ma. 11:12
And Ptolemee entered into Antioch, and set two crowns upon his head, that of Egypt, and that of Asia. 1 Ma. 11:13
And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle: and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight. 1 Ma. 11:15
And he took gold, and silver, and raiment, and many other presents, and went to the king to Ptolemais and he found favour in his sight. 1 Ma. 11:24
And certain wicked men of his nation made complaints against him. 1 Ma. 11:25
And the king treated him as his predecessors had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends. 1 Ma. 11:26
And he confirmed him in the high priesthood and all the honours he had before, and he made him the chief of his friends. 1 Ma. 11:27
King Demetrius to his brother, Jonathan, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting. 1 Ma. 11:30
King Demetrius to Lasthenes, his parent, greetings. 1 Ma. 11:32
And king Demetrius, seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him. 1 Ma. 11:38
And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days. 1 Ma. 11:40
And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city. 1 Ma. 11:47
And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils. 1 Ma. 11:51
So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him. 1 Ma. 11:52
And there assembled unto him all the hands which Demetrius had sent away, and they fought against Demetrius who turned his back and fled. 1 Ma. 11:55
And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle: 1 Ma. 11:58
And he made his brother, Simon, governor, from the borders of Tyre even to the confines of Egypt. 1 Ma. 11:59
And he went against them: but left his brother, Simon, in the country. 1 Ma. 11:64
And Jonathan and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor. 1 Ma. 11:67
And Jonathan rent his garments, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed. 1 Ma. 11:71
And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies, even to Cades, to their own camp, and they came even thither. 1 Ma. 11:73
So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country. 1 Ma. 12:25
And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp. 1 Ma. 12:27
And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle: and they were struck with fear and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp. 1 Ma. 12:28
Now when Tryphon had conceived a design to make himself king of Asia and to take the crown, and to stretch out his hand against king Antiochus: 1 Ma. 12:39
Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him. 1 Ma. 12:42
But received him with honour, and commended him to all his friends, and gave him presents: and he commanded his troops to obey him, as himself. 1 Ma. 12:43
And Jonathan believed him, and did as he said: and sent away his army, and they departed into the land of Juda: 1 Ma. 12:46
And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother, Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him, 1 Ma. 13:14
But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him. 1 Ma. 13:16
And after this, Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went. 1 Ma. 13:20
And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night; but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad. 1 Ma. 13:22
And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there. 1 Ma. 13:23
And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country. 1 Ma. 13:24
And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan, his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers. 1 Ma. 13:25
And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone, behind and before: 1 Ma. 13:27
And he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren: 1 Ma. 13:28
And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land. 1 Ma. 13:32
And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation. 1 Ma. 13:48
And Simon saw that John, his son, was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara. 1 Ma. 13:54
¤ In the year one hundred and seventy-two king Demetrius assembled his army, and went into Media to get him succours to fight against Tryphon. 1 Ma. 14:1
And Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him. 1 Ma. 14:2
And all the land of Juda was at rest all the days of Simon, and he sought the good of his nation: and his power, and his glory pleased them well all his days. 1 Ma. 14:4
And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea. 1 Ma. 14:5
And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country. 1 Ma. 14:6
And every man tilled his land with peace, and the land of Juda yielded her increase, and the trees of the fields their fruit. 1 Ma. 14:8
And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth. 1 Ma. 14:10
And every man sat under his vine, and under his fig tree: and there was none to make them afraid. 1 Ma. 14:12
And he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low, and he sought the law, and took away every unjust and wicked man. 1 Ma. 14:14
But when they heard that Simon, his brother, was made high priest in his place, and was possessed of all the country, and the cities therein: 1 Ma. 14:17
They wrote to him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and alliance which they had made with Judas and with Jonathan, his brethren. 1 Ma. 14:18
These words, they said: What thanks shall we give to Simon, and his sons: 1 Ma. 14:25
For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion. 1 Ma. 14:26
And Simon, the son of Mathathias, of the children of Jarib, and his brethren, have put themselves in danger, and have resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory. 1 Ma. 14:29
And Jonathan gathered together his nation, and was made their high priest, and he was laid to his people. 1 Ma. 14:30
Then Simon resisted and fought for his nation, and laid out much of his money, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages. 1 Ma. 14:32
And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people. 1 Ma. 14:35
And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David, in Jerusalem, in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity. 1 Ma. 14:36
According to these things he made him his friend, and glorified him with great glory. 1 Ma. 14:39
And that he should have care of the holy places; and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name; and that he should be clothed with purple and gold: 1 Ma. 14:43
And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold. 1 Ma. 14:44
And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon, and his sons, may have it. 1 Ma. 14:49
In the year one hundred and seventy-four, Antiochus entered into the land of his fathers, and all the forces assembled to him, so that few were left with Tryphon. 1 Ma. 15:10
For he perceived that evils were gathered together upon him, and his troops had forsaken him. 1 Ma. 15:12
But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and he shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out. 1 Ma. 15:25
And he sent to him Athenobius, one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom: 1 Ma. 15:28
So Athenobius, the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words. 1 Ma. 15:32
And he commanded him to march with his army towards Judea: and he commanded him to build up Gedor, and to fortify the gates of the city, and to war against the people. But the king himself pursued after Tryphon. 1 Ma. 15:39
¤ Then John came up from Gazara, and told Simon, his father, what Cendebeus had done against their people. 1 Ma. 16:1
And Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said to them: I and my brethren, and my father's house, have fought against the enemies of Israel from our youth even to this day: and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. 1 Ma. 16:2
And he and his people pitched their camp over against them, and he saw that the people were afraid to go over the river, so he went over first: then the men seeing him, passed over after him. 1 Ma. 16:6
And they sounded the holy trumpets: and Cendebeus and his army were put to flight: and there fell many of them wounded, and the rest fled into the strong hold. 1 Ma. 16:8
And his heart was lifted up, and he designed to make himself master of the country, and he purposed treachery against Simon and his sons, to destroy them. 1 Ma. 16:13
Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas, his sons, in the year one hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month Sabath. 1 Ma. 16:14
And when Simon and his sons had drunk plentifully, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and entered into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and some of his servants. 1 Ma. 16:16
Now one running before, told John in Gazara, that his father and his brethren were slain, and that he hath sent men to kill thee also. 1 Ma. 16:21
And as concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and the worthy deeds, which he bravely achieved, and the building of the walls, which he made, and the things that he did: 1 Ma. 16:23
Behold, these are written in the book of the days of his priesthood, from the time that he was made high priest after his father. 1 Ma. 16:24
May God be gracious to you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants: 2 Ma. 1:2
And give you all a heart to worship him, and to do his will with a great heart, and a willing mind. 2 Ma. 1:3
May he open your heart in his law, and in his commandments, and send you peace. 2 Ma. 1:4
For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry. 2 Ma. 1:14
And when he had proved it, he gave the priests many goods, and divers presents, and he took and distributed them to them with his own hand. 2 Ma. 1:35
And we hope that God, who hath delivered his people, and hath rendered to all the inheritance, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary, 2 Ma. 2:17
Now as concerning Judas Machabeus, and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the altar: 2 Ma. 2:20
As also the wars against Antiochus, the Illustrious, and his son, Eupator: 2 Ma. 2:21
¤ Therefore, when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws as yet were very well kept, because of the godliness of Onias, the high priest and the hatred his soul had of evil, 2 Ma. 3:1
So that Seleucus, king of Asia, allowed out of his revenues all the charges belonging to the ministry of the sacrifices. 2 Ma. 3:3
Now when Apollonius had given the king notice concerning the money that he was told of, he called for Heliodorus, who had the charge over his affairs, and sent him with commission to bring him the foresaid money. 2 Ma. 3:7
So Heliodorus forthwith began his journey, under a colour of visiting the cities of Celesyria and Phenicia, but indeed to fulfil the king's purpose. 2 Ma. 3:8
Now whosoever saw the countenance of the high priest, was wounded in heart: for his face, and the changing of his colour, declared the inward sorrow of his mind. 2 Ma. 3:16
For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart. 2 Ma. 3:17
But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury. 2 Ma. 3:23
But the spirit of the Almighty God gave a great evidence of his presence, so that all that had presumed to obey him, falling down by the power of God, were struck with fainting and dread. 2 Ma. 3:24
For there appeared to them a horse, with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold. 2 Ma. 3:25
So he that came with many servants, and all his guard, into the aforesaid treasury, was carried out, no one being able to help him, the manifest power of God being known. 2 Ma. 3:28
But they praised the Lord, because he had glorified his place: and the temple, that a little before was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness. 2 Ma. 3:30
Then some of the friends of Heliodorus forthwith begged of Onias, that he would call upon the Most High to grant him his life, who was ready to give up the ghost. 2 Ma. 3:31
And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life. 2 Ma. 3:33
So Heliodorus, after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king. 2 Ma. 3:35
And he testified to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his own eyes. 2 Ma. 3:36
For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it. 2 Ma. 3:39
¤ But Simon, of whom we spoke before, who was the betrayer of the money, and of his country, spoke ill of Onias, as though he had incited Heliodorus to do these things, and had been the promoter of evils: 2 Ma. 4:1
And he presumed to call him a traitor to the kingdom, who provided for the city, and defended his nation, and was zealous for the law of God. 2 Ma. 4:2
Not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but with a view to the common good of all the people. 2 Ma. 4:5
For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly. 2 Ma. 4:6
Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten the rule into his hands, forthwith he began to bring over his countrymen to the fashion of the heathens. 2 Ma. 4:10
Now when Apollonius, the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 4:21
Where he was received in a magnificent manner by Jason, and the city, and came in with torch lights, and with praises, and from thence he returned with his army into Phenicia. 2 Ma. 4:22
But he being recommended to the king, when he had magnified the appearance of his power, got the high priesthood for himself, by offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver. 2 Ma. 4:24
Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being himself undermined, was driven out a fugitive into the country of the Ammonites. 2 Ma. 4:26
And Menelaus was removed from the priesthood, Lysimachus, his brother, succeeding: and Sostratus was made governor of the Cyprians. 2 Ma. 4:29
The king, therefore, went in all haste to appease them, leaving Andronicus, one of his nobles, for his deputy. 2 Ma. 4:31
Whereupon Menelaus coming to Andronicus, desired him to kill Onias. And he went to Onias, and gave him his right hand with an oath, and (though he were suspected by him) persuaded him to come forth out of the sanctuary, and immediately slew him, without any regard to justice. 2 Ma. 4:34
Antiochus, therefore, was grieved in his mind for Onias, and being moved to pity, shed tears, remembering the sobriety and modesty of the deceased. 2 Ma. 4:37
And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment. 2 Ma. 4:38
But Jason slew his countrymen without mercy, not considering that prosperity against one's own kindred is a very great evil, thinking they had been enemies, and not citizens, whom he conquered. 2 Ma. 5:6
Yet he did not get the principality, but received confusion at the end, for the reward of his treachery, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites. 2 Ma. 5:7
At the last, having been shut up by Aretas, the king of the Arabians, in order for his destruction, flying from city to city, hated by all men, as a forsaker of the laws and execrable, as an enemy of his country and countrymen, he was thrust out into Egypt: 2 Ma. 5:8
But he that had cast out many unburied, was himself cast forth both unlamented and unburied, neither having foreign burial, nor being partaker of the sepulchre of his fathers. 2 Ma. 5:10
But this was not enough, he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide. 2 Ma. 5:15
And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them. 2 Ma. 5:16
Otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob the treasury, so this man also, as soon as he had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption. 2 Ma. 5:18
So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind. 2 Ma. 5:21
Who, when he was come to Jerusalem, pretending peace, rested till the holy day of the sabbath: and then the Jews keeping holiday, he commanded his men to take arms. 2 Ma. 5:25
But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution. 2 Ma. 5:27
And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: but though he chastise his people with adversity he forsaketh them not. 2 Ma. 6:16
Eleazar one of the chief of the scribes, a man advanced in years, and of a comely countenance, was pressed to open his mouth to eat swine's flesh. 2 Ma. 6:18
But he began to consider the dignity of his age, and his ancient years, and the inbred honour of his grey head, and his good life and conversation from a child; and he answered without delay, according to the ordinances of the holy law made by God, saying, that he would rather be sent into the other world. 2 Ma. 6:23
Thus did this man die, leaving not only to young men, but also to the whole nation, the memory of his death, for an example of virtue and fortitude. 2 Ma. 6:31
He commanded to cut out the tongue of him that had spoken first: and the skin of his head being drawn off, to chop off also the extremities of his hands and feet, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on. 2 Ma. 7:4
Saying: The Lord God will look upon the truth, and will take pleasure in us, as Moses declared in the profession of the canticle; And in his servants he will take pleasure. 2 Ma. 7:6
So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the next to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him if he would eat, before he were punished throughout the whole body in every limb. 2 Ma. 7:7
But he answered in his own language, and said: I will not do it. Wherefore he also, in the next place, received the torments of the first: 2 Ma. 7:8
And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life. 2 Ma. 7:9
After him the third was made a mocking-stock, and when he was required, he quickly put forth his tongue, and courageously stretched out his hands: 2 Ma. 7:10
But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed. 2 Ma. 7:17
But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again, in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws. 2 Ma. 7:23
Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary. 2 Ma. 7:24
But when the young man was not moved with these things, the king called the mother, and counselled her to deal with the young man to save his life. 2 Ma. 7:25
And though the Lord, our God, is angry with us a little while, for our chastisement and correction, yet he will be reconciled again to his servants. 2 Ma. 7:33
But thou, O wicked, and of all men most flagitious, be not lifted up without cause with vain hopes, whilst thou art raging against his servants. 2 Ma. 7:34
And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon his people that was trodden down by all and would have pity on the temple, that was defiled by the wicked: 2 Ma. 8:2
That he would remember also the most unjust deaths of innocent children, and the blasphemies offered to his name, and would shew his indignation on this occasion. 2 Ma. 8:4
And especially in the nights he went upon these expeditions, and the fame of his valour was spread abroad every where. 2 Ma. 8:7
And he with all speed sent Nicanor, the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, giving him no fewer than twenty thousand armed men of different nations, to root out the whole race of the Jews, joining also with him Gorgias, a good soldier, and of great experience in matters of war. 2 Ma. 8:9
And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them. 2 Ma. 8:15
So he appointed his brethren captains over each division of his army; Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving to each one fifteen hundred men. 2 Ma. 8:22
When this was done, and they had all made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord, to be reconciled to his servants unto the end. 2 Ma. 8:29
And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties: 2 Ma. 8:33
Being, through the help of the Lord, brought down by them, of whom he had made no account, laying aside his garment of glory, fleeing through the midland country, he came alone to Antioch, being rendered very unhappy by the destruction of his army. 2 Ma. 8:35
And swelling with anger, he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. 2 Ma. 9:4
But the Lord, the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts. 2 Ma. 9:5
And indeed very justly, seeing he had tormented the bowels of others with many and new torments, albeit he by no means ceased from his malice. 2 Ma. 9:6
Moreover, being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence, that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body. 2 Ma. 9:7
So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army. 2 Ma. 9:9
And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment. 2 Ma. 9:11
And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God. 2 Ma. 9:12
The holy temple also, which before he had spoiled, he promised to adorn with goodly gifts, and to multiply the holy vessels, and to allow out of his revenues the charges pertaining to the sacrifices. 2 Ma. 9:16
But his pains not ceasing, (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life, he wrote to the Jews, in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words: 2 Ma. 9:18
To his very good subjects the Jews, Antiochus, king and ruler, wisheth much health, and welfare, and happiness. 2 Ma. 9:19
But Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body: and out of fear of the son of Antiochus, went into Egypt to Ptolemee Philometor. 2 Ma. 9:29
Therefore they now carried boughs and green branches and palms, for him that had given them good success in cleansing his place. 2 Ma. 10:7
For when he was come to the crown, he appointed over the affairs of his realm one Lysias, general of the army of Phenicia and Syria. 2 Ma. 10:11
But being accused for this to Eupator by his friends, and being oftentimes called traitor, because he had left Cyprus, which Philometor had committed to him, and coming over to Antiochus the Illustrious, had revolted also from him, he put an end to his life by poison. 2 Ma. 10:13
And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes. 2 Ma. 10:37
Never considering the power of God, but puffed up in mind, and trusting in the multitude of his foot soldiers, and the thousands of his horsemen, and his fourscore elephants. 2 Ma. 11:4
Then Machabeus himself first taking his arms, exhorted the rest to expose themselves together with him, to the danger, and to succour their brethren. 2 Ma. 11:7
But the king's letter contained these words King Antiochus to Lysias, his brother, greeting. 2 Ma. 11:22
But as soon as Judas heard of this cruelty done to his countrymen, he commanded the men that were with him: and after having called upon God, the just judge, 2 Ma. 12:5
He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire. 2 Ma. 12:6
And Timotheus himself fell into the hands of the band of Dositheus and Sosipater, and with many prayers he besought them to let him go with his life, because he had the parents and brethren of many of the Jews, who, by his death, might happen to be deceived. 2 Ma. 12:24
And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren. 2 Ma. 12:25
And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls, made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts. 2 Ma. 12:27
But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city: and slew five and twenty thousand of them that were within. 2 Ma. 12:28
But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa. 2 Ma. 12:35
Then beginning in his own language, and singing hymns with a loud voice, he put Gorgias' soldiers to flight. 2 Ma. 12:37
So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the same place. 2 Ma. 12:38
And the day following Judas came with his company, to take away the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen, in the sepulchres of their fathers. 2 Ma. 12:39
Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler. 2 Ma. 13:3
But the king, with his mind full of rage, came on to shew himself worse to the Jews than his father was. 2 Ma. 13:9
But he, with the ancients, determined before the king should bring his army into Judea, and make himself master of the city, to go out, and to commit the event of the thing to the judgment of the Lord. 2 Ma. 13:13
So committing all to God, the Creator of the world, and having exhorted his people to fight manfully, and to stand up even to death for the laws, the temple, the city, their country, and citizens: he placed his army about Modin. 2 Ma. 13:14
And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him, 2 Ma. 13:15
And he marched with his army to Bethsura, which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was repulsed, he failed, he lost his men. 2 Ma. 13:19
Again the king treated with them that were in Bethsura: gave his right hand: took theirs: and went away. 2 Ma. 13:22
Then Lysias went up to the judgment seat, and set forth the reason, and appeased the people, and returned to Antioch: and thus matters went with regard to the king's coming and his return. 2 Ma. 13:26
¤ But after the space of three years Judas, and they that were with him, understood that Demetrius, the son of Seleucus, was come up with a great power, and a navy by the haven of Tripolis, to places proper for his purpose, 2 Ma. 14:1
And had made himself master of the countries against Antiochus, and his general, Lysias. 2 Ma. 14:2
Came to king Demetrius in the year one hundred and fifty, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and besides these, some boughs that seemed to belong to the temple. And that day indeed he held his peace. 2 Ma. 14:4
But having gotten a convenient time to further his madness, being called to counsel by Demetrius, and asked what the Jews relied upon, and what were their counsels, 2 Ma. 14:5
Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs. 2 Ma. 14:15
But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor had assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor. 2 Ma. 14:26
But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner; and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor. 2 Ma. 14:30
And when they swore unto him, that they knew not where the man was whom he sought, he stretched out his hand to the temple, 2 Ma. 14:32
Now Razias, one of the ancients of Jerusalem, was accused to Nicanor, a man that was a lover of the city, and of good report, who for his kindness was called the father of the Jews. 2 Ma. 14:37
This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein. 2 Ma. 14:38
Now as the multitude sought to rush into his house, and to break open the door, and to set fire to it, when he was ready to be taken, he struck himself with his sword: 2 Ma. 14:41
Choosing to die nobly rather than to fall into the hands of the wicked, and to suffer abuses unbecoming his noble birth. 2 Ma. 14:42
But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck. 2 Ma. 14:44
And as he had yet breath in him, being inflamed in mind, he arose: and while his blood ran down with a great stream, and he was grievously wounded, he ran through the crowd: 2 Ma. 14:45
And standing upon a steep rock, when he was now almost without blood, grasping his bowels, with both hands he cast them upon the throng, calling upon the Lord of life and spirit, to restore these to him again: and so he departed this life. 2 Ma. 14:46
Then he said: And I am mighty upon the earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Nevertheless he prevailed not to accomplish his design. 2 Ma. 15:5
So Nicanor being puffed up with exceeding great pride, thought to set up a public monument of his victory over Judas. 2 Ma. 15:6
And he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the nations, but to remember the help they had before received from heaven, and now to hope for victory from the Almighty. 2 Ma. 15:8
Now the vision was in this manner. Onias, who had been high priest, a good and virtuous man, modest in his looks, gentle in his manners, and graceful in speech, and who from a child was exercised in virtues holding up his hands, prayed for all the people of the Jews: 2 Ma. 15:12
Then Onias answering, said: This is a lover of his brethren, and of the people of Israel: this is he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias, the prophet of God. 2 Ma. 15:14
Whereupon Jeremias stretched forth his right hand, and gave to Judas a sword of gold, saying: 2 Ma. 15:15
Machabeus considering the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretching out his hands to heaven, called upon the Lord, that worketh wonders, who giveth victory to them that are worthy, not according to the power of their arms, but according as it seemeth good to him. 2 Ma. 15:21
And in his prayer he said after this manner: Thou, O Lord, who didst send thy angel in the time of Ezechias, king of Juda, and didst kill a hundred and eighty-five thousand of the army of Sennacherib: 2 Ma. 15:22
That they may be afraid, who come with blasphemy against thy holy people. And thus he concluded his prayer. 2 Ma. 15:24
And when the battle was over, and they were returning with joy, they understood that Nicanor was slain in his armour. 2 Ma. 15:28
And Judas, who was altogether ready, in body and mind, to die for his countrymen, commanded that Nicanor's head, and his hand, with the shoulder, should be cut off, and carried to Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 15:30
And when he was come thither, having called together his countrymen, and the priests to the altar, he sent also for them that were in the castle, 2 Ma. 15:31
Then all blessed the Lord of heaven, saying: Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled. 2 Ma. 15:34
Abraham begot Isaac. And Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judas and his brethren. Mt. 1:2
And Josias begot Jechonias and his brethren in the transmigration of Babylon. Mt. 1:11
Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:18
But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:20
And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins. Mt. 1:21
Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Mt. 1:23
And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife. Mt. 1:24
And he knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and he called his name Jesus. Mt. 1:25
Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him. Mt. 2:2
And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him: and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Mt. 2:11
And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. Mt. 2:13
Who arose, and took the child and his mother by night, and retired into Egypt: Mt. 2:14
Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child. Mt. 2:20
Who arose, and took the child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. Mt. 2:21
But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee. Mt. 2:22
For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Mt. 3:3
And the same John had his garment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Mt. 3:4
And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Mt. 3:7
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. Mt. 3:12
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4:6
And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers). Mt. 4:18
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them. Mt. 4:21
And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had the palsy, and he cured them: Mt. 4:24
¤ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. Mt. 5:1
And opening his mouth he taught them, saying: Mt. 5:2
But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Mt. 5:22
But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. Mt. 5:28
And it hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. Mt. 5:31
But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 5:32
Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king: Mt. 5:35
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust. Mt. 5:45
And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit? Mt. 6:27
But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. Mt. 6:29
Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you. Mt. 6:33
Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? Mt. 7:9
Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, Mt. 7:24
And every one that heareth these my words and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, Mt. 7:26
And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. Mt. 7:28
And Jesus stretching forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his leprosy was cleansed. Mt. 8:3
And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying, and sick of a fever; Mt. 8:14
And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed: Mt. 8:16
And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Mt. 8:20
And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Mt. 8:21
And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him: Mt. 8:23
¤ And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city. Mt. 9:1
And he arose, and went into his house. Mt. 9:7
And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. Mt. 9:10
And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners? Mt. 9:11
And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples. Mt. 9:19
And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. Mt. 9:20
For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed. Mt. 9:21
But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country. Mt. 9:31
Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Mt. 9:37
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. Mt. 9:38
¤ And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities. Mt. 10:1
And the names of the twelve Apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, Mt. 10:2
James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, Mt. 10:3
Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat. Mt. 10:10
The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord. Mt. 10:24
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? Mt. 10:25
For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Mt. 10:35
And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household. Mt. 10:36
And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. Mt. 10:38
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. Mt. 10:39
And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you he shall not lose his reward. Mt. 10:42
¤ And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and to preach in their cities. Mt. 11:1
Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him: Mt. 11:2
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance. Mt. 11:20
¤ At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat. Mt. 12:1
He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. Mt. 12:19
And in his name the Gentiles shall hope. Mt. 12:21
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand? Mt. 12:26
Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house. Mt. 12:29
As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. Mt. 12:46
And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren. Mt. 12:49
And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables? Mt. 13:10
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. Mt. 13:19
Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. Mt. 13:24
But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way. Mt. 13:25
Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Mt. 13:31
Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field. Mt. 13:36
The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity. Mt. 13:41
Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. Mt. 13:46
He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. Mt. 13:52
And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? Mt. 13:54
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude: Mt. 13:55
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things? Mt. 13:56
And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. Mt. 13:57
And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. Mt. 14:2
For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother's wife. Mt. 14:3
And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given. Mt. 14:9
And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother. Mt. 14:11
And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus. Mt. 14:12
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy themselves victuals. Mt. 14:15
And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. Mt. 14:19
And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people. Mt. 14:22
And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? Mt. 14:31
And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole. Mt. 14:36
And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition. Mt. 15:6
Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized? Mt. 15:12
Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us: Mt. 15:23
And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them: Mt. 15:30
And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. Mt. 15:32
And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the people. Mt. 15:36
And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread. Mt. 16:5
And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? Mt. 16:13
Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ. Mt. 16:20
From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. Mt. 16:21
Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Mt. 16:24
For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. Mt. 16:25
For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul? Mt. 16:26
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works. Mt. 16:27
Amen I say to you, there are some of them that stand here, that shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mt. 16:28
¤ And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: Mt. 17:1
And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. Mt. 17:2
And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first? Mt. 17:10
And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him saying: Mt. 17:14
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Mt. 18:6
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants. Mt. 18:23
And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. Mt. 18:25
But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest. Mt. 18:28
And his fellow-servant falling down, besought him, saying: Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Mt. 18:29
Now his fellow servants seeing what was done, were very much grieved, and they came, and told their lord all that was done. Mt. 18:31
Then his lord called him: and said to him: Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all the debt, because thou besoughtest me: Mt. 18:32
And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt. Mt. 18:34
So also shall my heavenly Father do to you, if you forgive not every one his brother from your hearts. Mt. 18:35
And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Mt. 19:3
And he said: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Mt. 19:5
And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 19:9
His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry. Mt. 19:10
Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 19:23
And Jesus said to them: Amen I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Mt. 19:28
¤ The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. Mt. 20:1
And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Mt. 20:2
And when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward: Call the labourers and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first. Mt. 20:8
Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life a redemption for many. Mt. 20:28
And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof. Mt. 21:34
And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one and killed another and stoned another. Mt. 21:35
And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son. Mt. 21:37
But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance. Mt. 21:38
They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen that shall render him the fruit in due season. Mt. 21:41
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them. Mt. 21:45
The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son. Mt. 22:2
And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come. Mt. 22:3
But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise. Mt. 22:5
And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death. Mt. 22:6
But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city. Mt. 22:7
Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy. Mt. 22:8
And his servants going forth into the ways, gathered together all that they found, both bad and good: and the marriage was filled with guests. Mt. 22:10
Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Mt. 22:13
Then the Pharisees going, consulted among themselves how to insnare him in his speech. Mt. 22:15
Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother. Mt. 22:24
Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first having married a wife, died; and not having issue, left his wife to his brother. Mt. 22:25
And the multitudes hearing it were in admiration at his doctrine. Mt. 22:33
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? Mt. 22:45
¤ Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples, Mt. 23:1
¤ And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple. Mt. 24:1
And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: Mt. 24:17
And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. Mt. 24:18
And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them. Mt. 24:31
But know this ye, that, if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Mt. 24:43
Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season? Mt. 24:45
Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing. Mt. 24:46
Amen I say to you: he shall place him over all his goods. Mt. 24:47
But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming: Mt. 24:48
And shall begin to strike his fellow servants and shall eat and drink with drunkards: Mt. 24:49
And shall separate him and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Mt. 24:51
For even as a man going into a far country called his servants and delivered to them his goods; Mt. 25:14
And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey. Mt. 25:15
And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five. Mt. 25:16
But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord's money. Mt. 25:18
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Mt. 25:21
His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Mt. 25:23
And his lord answering, said to him: Wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sow not and gather where I have not strewed. Mt. 25:26
And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. Mt. 25:31
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. Mt. 25:33
Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Mt. 25:34
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels. Mt. 25:41
¤ And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples: Mt. 26:1
There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he was at table. Mt. 26:7
But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples. Mt. 26:20
But he answering said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me. Mt. 26:23
And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread and blessed and broke and gave to his disciples and said: Take ye and eat. This is my body. Mt. 26:26
Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray. Mt. 26:36
And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt. Mt. 26:39
And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep. And he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me? Mt. 26:40
Then he cometh to his disciples and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. Behold the hour is at hand: and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Mt. 26:45
And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. Mt. 26:51
But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God. Mt. 26:63
Then the high priest rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed: What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy. Mt. 26:65
Then did they spit in his face and buffeted him. And others struck his face with the palms of their hands, Mt. 26:67
And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. Mt. 27:19
And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look you to it. Mt. 27:24
And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and upon our children. Mt. 27:25
And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews. Mt. 27:29
And spitting upon him, they took the reed and struck his head. Mt. 27:30
And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him and put on him his own garments and led him away to crucify him. Mt. 27:31
And going out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they forced to take up his cross. Mt. 27:32
And after they had crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: They divided my garments among them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. Mt. 27:35
And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Mt. 27:37
And coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city and appeared to many. Mt. 27:53
And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument and went his way. Mt. 27:60
Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away and say to the people: He is risen from the dead. And the last error shall be worse than the first. Mt. 27:64
And his countenance was as lightning and his raiment as snow. Mt. 28:3
And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen. And behold he will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. Mt. 28:7
And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. Mt. 28:8
And behold, Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet and adored him. Mt. 28:9
Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night and stole him away when we were asleep. Mt. 28:13
A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight his paths. Mk. 1:3

And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship: Mk. 1:19
And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him. Mk. 1:20
And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes. Mk. 1:22
And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean. Mk. 1:41
Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts? Mk. 2:8

But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea, Mk. 3:7
And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. Mk. 3:9

No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house. Mk. 3:27
And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. Mk. 3:31
And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine: Mk. 4:2
And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples. Mk. 4:34
Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, not even with chains. Mk. 5:3
And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid. Mk. 5:15

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in regard of him. Mk. 6:3
And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred. Mk. 6:4
And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them. Mk. 6:5
And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. Mk. 6:14
For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. Mk. 6:17
And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee. Mk. 6:21
And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: Mk. 6:26
But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in the prison, Mk. 6:27

And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother, Mk. 7:12
And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable. Mk. 7:17
Because it entereth not into his heart but goeth into the belly and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats? Mk. 7:19
For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet. Mk. 7:25
And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him. Mk. 7:32

And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS. Mk. 15:26
And with him they crucify two thieves: the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. Mk. 15:27
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee. There you shall see him, as he told you. Mk. 16:7

And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine. Lk. 15:15
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. Lk. 15:16
And rising up, he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion and running to him fell upon his neck and kissed him. Lk. 15:20
And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe and put it on him: and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet. Lk. 15:22
Now his elder son was in the field and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. Lk. 15:25
And he was angry and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him. Lk. 15:28
And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee and I have never transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends. Lk. 15:29
But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. Lk. 15:30
¤ And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods. Lk. 16:1
Therefore, calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? Lk. 16:5
Every one that putteth away his wife and marrieth another committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Lk. 16:18
And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores, Lk. 16:20
Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. And no one did give him: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. Lk. 16:21
And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom: Lk. 16:23
And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. Lk. 16:24
¤ And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come. But woe to him through whom they come! Lk. 17:1
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones. Lk. 17:2
And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this was a Samaritan. Lk. 17:16
And he said to his disciples: The days will come when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man. And you shall not see it. Lk. 17:22
For as the lightning that lighteneth from under heaven shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day. Lk. 17:24
In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back. Lk. 17:31
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it shall preserve it. Lk. 17:33
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard? Lk. 18:7
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner. Lk. 18:13
I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Lk. 18:14
And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me. Lk. 18:39
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds and said to them: Trade till I come. Lk. 19:13
But his citizens hated him and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us. Lk. 19:14
And it came to pass that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading, Lk. 19:15
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, Lk. 19:29
And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? You shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service. Lk. 19:31
And when he was now coming near the descent of Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen, Lk. 19:37
And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor. Lk. 20:20
And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace. Lk. 20:26
Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother. Lk. 20:28
David then calleth him Lord. And how is he his son? Lk. 20:44
And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples: Lk. 20:45
Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword. Lk. 22:36
And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him. Lk. 22:39
And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground. Lk. 22:44
And when he rose up from prayer and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. Lk. 22:45
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Lk. 22:50
But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him. Lk. 22:51
And they blindfolded him and smote his face. And they asked him saying: Prophesy: Who is it that struck thee? Lk. 22:64
And they said: What need we any further testimony? For we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth. Lk. 22:71
And Herod with his army set him at nought and mocked him, putting on him a white garment: and sent him back to Pilate. Lk. 23:11
And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots. Lk. 23:34
And all his acquaintance and the women that had followed him from Galilee stood afar off, beholding these things. Lk. 23:49
And the women that were come with him from Galilee, following after, saw the sepulchre and how his body was laid. Lk. 23:55
And they remembered his words. Lk. 24:8
And not finding his body, came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. Lk. 24:23
Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and so, to enter into his glory? Lk. 24:26
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet. Lk. 24:40
And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Lk. 24:47
And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. Lk. 24:50
He came unto his own: and his own received him not. Jn. 1:11
But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Jn. 1:12
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we saw his glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth. Jn. 1:14
And of his fulness we all have received: and grace for grace. Jn. 1:16
The next day again John stood and two of his disciples. Jn. 1:35
He findeth first his brother Simon and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. Jn. 1:41
And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage. Jn. 2:2
His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye. Jn. 2:5
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. Jn. 2:11
After this, he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples: and they remained there not many days. Jn. 2:12
And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up. Jn. 2:17
But he spoke of the temple of his body. Jn. 2:21
When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had said. Jn. 2:22
Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. Jn. 2:23
Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again? Jn. 3:4
The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit. Jn. 3:8
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. Jn. 3:16
For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. Jn. 3:17
For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved. Jn. 3:20
But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God. Jn. 3:21
After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them and baptized. Jn. 3:22
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony. Jn. 3:32
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. Jn. 3:33
The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand. Jn. 3:35
(Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples), Jn. 4:2
He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jn. 4:5
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour. Jn. 4:6
For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats. Jn. 4:8
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof, himself and his children and his cattle? Jn. 4:12
And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why talkest thou with her? Jn. 4:27
Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work. Jn. 4:34
And many more believed in him, because of his own word. Jn. 4:41
For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Jn. 4:44
He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Jn. 4:47
Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him and went his way. Jn. 4:50
And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought word, saying, that his son lived. Jn. 4:51
The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house. Jn. 4:53
And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity. Jn. 5:5
And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. Jn. 5:9
The man went his way and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole. Jn. 5:15
Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God. Jn. 5:18
He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. Jn. 5:35
And the Father himself who hath sent me hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. Jn. 5:37
And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not. Jn. 5:38
I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. Jn. 5:43
But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words? Jn. 5:47
Jesus therefore went up into a mountain: and there he sat with his disciples. Jn. 6:3
When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? Jn. 6:5
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him: Jn. 6:8
And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. Jn. 6:12
And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea. Jn. 6:16
The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other ship there but one: and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone. Jn. 6:22
When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus. Jn. 6:24
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Jn. 6:52
Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. Jn. 6:53
Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard; and who can hear it? Jn. 6:60
But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you? Jn. 6:61
After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him. Jn. 6:66
And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost. Jn. 7:3
For neither did his brethren believe in him. Jn. 7:5
But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. Jn. 7:10
Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. Jn. 7:16
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him. Jn. 7:18
They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. Jn. 7:30
He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Jn. 7:38
Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed. Jn. 7:40
And every man returned to his own house. Jn. 7:53
And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground. Jn. 8:6
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. Jn. 8:20
And they understood not that he called God his Father. Jn. 8:27
You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Jn. 8:44
And you have not known him: but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him and do keep his word. Jn. 8:55
¤ And Jesus passing by, saw a man who was blind from his birth. Jn. 9:1
And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jn. 9:2
Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. Jn. 9:3
When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and spread the clay upon his eyes, Jn. 9:6
Now it was the sabbath, when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. Jn. 9:14
Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and I see. Jn. 9:15
The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, Jn. 9:18
His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son and that he was born blind: Jn. 9:20
But how he now seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself. Jn. 9:21
These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Jn. 9:22
Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself. Jn. 9:23
He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples? Jn. 9:27
They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses. Jn. 9:28
Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth. Jn. 9:31
To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out. Jn. 10:3
And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. Jn. 10:4
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. Jn. 10:11
(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Jn. 11:2
His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. Jn. 11:3
Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again. Jn. 11:7
His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Jn. 11:12
But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep. Jn. 11:13
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him. Jn. 11:16
When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet and saith to him. Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Jn. 11:32
They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. Jn. 11:41
And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go. Jn. 11:44
Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews: but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem. And there he abode with his disciples. Jn. 11:54
Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Jn. 12:3
Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: Jn. 12:4
These things his disciples did not know at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things to him. Jn. 12:16
He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal. Jn. 12:25
These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. Jn. 12:41
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak. Jn. 12:50
¤ Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. Jn. 13:1
Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands and that he came from God and goeth to God, Jn. 13:3
He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having taken a towel, girded himself. Jn. 13:4
Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. Jn. 13:10
Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you? Jn. 13:12
Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him. Jn. 13:16
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me, Jn. 13:18
Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Jn. 13:23
If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I also have kept my Father's commandments and do abide in his love. Jn. 15:10
Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jn. 15:13
I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends, because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. Jn. 15:15
Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. Jn. 15:20
Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go to the Father? Jn. 16:17
His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb. Jn. 16:29
Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own and shall leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. Jn. 16:32
¤ These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. Jn. 17:1
¤ When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples. Jn. 18:1
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples. Jn. 18:2
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus. Jn. 18:10
The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples and of his doctrine. Jn. 18:19
And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said: I am not. Jn. 18:25
And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head: and they put on him a purple garment. Jn. 19:2
And bearing his own cross, he went forth to the place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha. Jn. 19:17
The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. Jn. 19:23
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. Jn. 19:25
When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. Jn. 19:26
After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. Jn. 19:27
Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put it to his mouth. Jn. 19:29
Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. Jn. 19:30
But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Jn. 19:33
But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and immediately there came out blood and water. Jn. 19:34
And he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe. Jn. 19:35
And the napkin that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but apart, wrapped up into one place. Jn. 20:7
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. Jn. 20:20
The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the place of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. Jn. 20:25
And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said: Peace be to you. Jn. 20:26
Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book. Jn. 20:30
But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name. Jn. 20:31
There were together: Simon Peter and Thomas, who is called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee and two others of his disciples. Jn. 21:2
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea. Jn. 21:7
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead. Jn. 21:14
Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee? Jn. 21:20
This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true. Jn. 21:24
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God. Acts 1:3
But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power: Acts 1:7
All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts 1:14
And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1:18
For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take. Acts 1:20
Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection. Acts 1:22
To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place. Acts 1:25
And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue. Acts 2:6
But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you and with your ears receive my words. Acts 2:14
Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David: that he died and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day. Acts 2:29
Whereas therefore he was a prophet and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne. Acts 2:30
Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell: neither did his flesh see corruption. Acts 2:31
They therefore that received his word were baptized: and there were added in that day about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41
And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple. Acts 3:2

But every one in his own order: the firstfruits, Christ: then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming. 1 Cor. 15:23
For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet. 1 Cor. 15:25
For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith: All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him. 1 Cor. 15:27

Now thanks be to God, who always maketh us to triumph in Christ Jesus and manifesteth the odour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Cor. 2:14
Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious (so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance), which is made void: 2 Cor. 3:7
And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void. 2 Cor. 3:13
And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me: so that I rejoiced the more. 2 Cor. 7:7
Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it: but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you before God: 2 Cor. 7:12
Therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 2 Cor. 7:13

And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 Jn. 3:24
By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him. 1 Jn. 4:9
In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. 1 Jn. 4:10
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us: and his charity is perfected in us. 1 Jn. 4:12
