Behold, to morrow about this time I Will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

• Intercession

Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I Will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.

And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I Will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD'S.

• Pharaoh
• Impenitence

But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye Will not yet fear the LORD God.

Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow Will I bring the locusts into thy coast:

And Moses said, We Will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds Will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.

And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I Will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.

• Reproof

And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I Will see thy face again no more.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet Will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he Will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight Will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

• Anger
• Moses
• Reproof

And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I Will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.

• Idolatry

For I Will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and Will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I Will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I Will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

For the LORD Will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD Will pass over the door, and Will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD Will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.

• Strangers

And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and Will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God Will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.

For Pharaoh Will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

And I Will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I Will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he Will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

And I, behold, I Will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I Will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

• Glory

Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I Will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

• Moses
• Children

The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I Will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I Will exalt him.

The enemy said, I Will pursue, I Will overtake, I Will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I Will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

• Disease

And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I Will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I Will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they Will walk in my law, or no.

And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye Will bake to day, and seethe that ye Will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.

• Water

Behold, I Will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I Will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I Will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD Will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

Hearken now unto my voice, I Will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:

• Righteous

Now therefore, if ye Will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we Will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD Will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD Will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we Will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I Will come unto thee, and I Will bless thee.

And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I Will not go out free:

And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I Will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband Will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I Will surely hear their cry;

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I Will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I Will hear; for I am gracious.

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I Will not justify the wicked.

Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he Will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I Will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I Will cut them off.

• Disease

And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I Will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I Will fulfil.

I Will send my fear before thee, and Will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I Will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

And I Will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

I Will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

By little and little I Will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

And I Will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I Will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it Will surely be a snare unto thee.

• ISRAELITES
• Decision
• Government

And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said Will we do.

• ISRAELITES
• Decision
• Government

And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said Will we do, and be obedient.

• Table

And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I Will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

And there I Will meet with thee, and I Will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I Will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I Will meet you, to speak there unto thee.

And there I Will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.

• Altar

And I Will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I Will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.

And I Will dwell among the children of Israel, and Will be their God.

• Altar
• Ark

And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I Will meet with thee.

And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I Will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.

Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I Will make of thee a great nation.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I Will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of Will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I Will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him Will I blot out of my book.

Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I Will visit their sin upon them.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed Will I give it:

And I Will send an angel before thee; and I Will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I Will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

• Stiff-necked
• Character

For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I Will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I Will give thee rest.

And the LORD said unto Moses, I Will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

And he said, I Will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I Will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and Will be gracious to whom I Will be gracious, and Will shew mercy on whom I Will shew mercy.

And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I Will put thee in a clift of the rock, and Will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

And I Will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

• Table

And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I Will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

• Punishment

Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that Will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I Will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I Will do with thee.

For I Will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

• Offerings

If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary Will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.

And when any Will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:

Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD Will appear unto you.

Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I Will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I Will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

• Altar
• Anointing

And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I Will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat. Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on. And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. read more And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail: And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not: And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation. And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses. show less

• Strangers

And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I Will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and Will cut him off from among his people.

And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own Will.

And I Will set my face against that man, and Will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

Then I Will set my face against that man, and against his family, and Will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I Will even set my face against that soul, and Will cut him off from among his people.

Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that Will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they Will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;

Ye shall offer at your own Will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.

• Offerings

And when ye Will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own Will.

Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I Will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,

Then I Will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

Then I Will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

• Peace

And I Will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I Will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD Will make myself known unto him in a vision, and Will speak unto him in a dream.

• Moses
• Communion

With him Will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

If the LORD delight in us, then he Will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long Will this people provoke me? and how long Will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

I Will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and Will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

And they Will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee Will speak, saying,

• CALEB
• Decision
• Perseverance

But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him Will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so Will I do to you:

But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them Will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

I the LORD have said, I Will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and Will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD Will not be with you.

And Will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:

And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and Will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD Will shew who are his, and who is holy; and Will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen Will he cause to come near unto him.

And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We Will not come up:

Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we Will not come up.

And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I Will meet with you.

And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I Will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

• Grape

Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we Will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither Will we drink of the water of the wells: we Will go by the king's high way, we Will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

And the children of Israel said unto him, We Will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I Will pay for it: I Will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I Will utterly destroy their cities.

And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I Will give them water.

• Grape

Let me pass through thy land: we Will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we Will not drink of the waters of the well: but we Will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.

And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I Will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.

For I Will promote thee unto very great honour, and I Will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD Will say unto me more.

And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I Will get me back again.

And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I Will go: peradventure the LORD Will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I Will tell thee. And he went to an high place.

And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I Will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it Will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.

If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that Will I speak?

And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I Will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.

And they came near unto him, and said, We Will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

But we ourselves Will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

We Will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

For we Will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

And Moses said unto them, If ye Will do this thing, if ye Will go armed before the LORD to war,

And Will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

But if ye Will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin Will find you out.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants Will do as my lord commandeth.

But thy servants Will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben Will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

But if they Will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so Will we do.

We Will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

• Thorn

But if ye Will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.

Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I Will make them rulers over you.

Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I Will hear it.

And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We Will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.

• CALEB
• Decision
• Caleb

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him Will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them Will I give it, and they shall possess it.

Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we Will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.

Meddle not with them; for I Will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I Will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.

And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I Will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.

This day Will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

Let me pass through thy land: I Will go along by the high way, I Will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I Will pass through on my feet;

And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I Will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I Will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

• Covenant

(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he Will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD Will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire Will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

• ISRAELITES
• Decision

Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we Will hear it, and do it.

But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I Will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

For they Will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so Will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he Will not be slack to him that hateth him, he Will repay him to his face.

And he Will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he Will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

• Disease

And the LORD Will take away from thee all sickness, and Will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but Will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that Will be a snare unto thee.

Moreover the LORD thy God Will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

And the LORD thy God Will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I Will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

And I Will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

That I Will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

And I Will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

Then Will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

And a curse, if ye Will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I Will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so Will I do likewise.

And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I Will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;

• Punishment

And the man that Will do presumptuously, and Will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I Will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;

• Prophet
• Moses
• Types

The LORD thy God Will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

• Prophet
• Moses
• Types

I Will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and Will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever Will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I Will require it of him.

And if it Will make no peace with thee, but Will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:

And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she Will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

• Self-will

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which Will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, Will not hearken unto them:

And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he Will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God Will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

• Court

And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he Will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.

Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that Will not build up his brother's house.

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God Will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

The LORD Will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

So that he Will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

Then the LORD Will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

Moreover he Will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them Will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD Will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

The LORD Will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

That then the LORD thy God Will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and Will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence Will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence Will he fetch thee:

And the LORD thy God Will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he Will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

And the LORD thy God Will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

And the LORD thy God Will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

And the LORD thy God Will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD Will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

The LORD thy God, he Will go over before thee, and he Will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he Will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he Will be with thee, he Will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people Will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and Will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I Will forsake them, and I Will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they Will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?

And I Will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.

For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then Will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

• JOSHUA
• Call

And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I Will be with thee.

For I know that after my death ye Will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil Will befall you in the latter days; because ye Will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I Will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

Because I Will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he Will shew thee; thy elders, and they Will tell thee.

And he said, I Will hide my face from them, I Will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I Will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I Will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

I Will heap mischiefs upon them; I Will spend mine arrows upon them.

They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I Will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

• Sword

If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I Will render vengeance to mine enemies, and Will reward them that hate me.

I Will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he Will avenge the blood of his servants, and Will render vengeance to his adversaries, and Will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good Will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I Will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I Will be with thee: I Will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we Will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we Will go.

According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so Will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and Will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye Will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

And that ye Will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we Will deal kindly and truly with thee.

• Faith

And the men said unto her, We Will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee. And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we Will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him. And if thou utter this our business, then we Will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. read more And she said, According unto your words, so be it.

And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we Will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

And if thou utter this our business, then we Will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD Will do wonders among you.

And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day Will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I Will be with thee.

And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he Will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither Will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

And I, and all the people that are with me, Will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we Will flee before them,

(For they Will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they Will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we Will flee before them.

Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God Will deliver it into your hand.

And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I Will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.

This we Will do to them; we Will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

• Joshua
• Horse

And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time Will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them Will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD Will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him Will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I Will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.

But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it Will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he Will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

• Fellowship

Know for a certainty that the LORD your God Will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

• JOSHUA
• Decision
• Joshua

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye Will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we Will serve the LORD.

And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore Will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.

And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he Will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he Will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we Will serve the LORD.

And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God Will we serve, and his voice Will we obey.

And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise Will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.

And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we Will shew thee mercy.

• Covenant

And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I Will never break my covenant with you.

• Fellowship

Wherefore I also said, I Will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.

I also Will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

That through them I may prove Israel, whether they Will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

And I Will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I Will deliver him into thine hand.

And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I Will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I Will not go.

And she said, I Will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I Will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, Will sing unto the LORD; I Will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

And the LORD said unto him, Surely I Will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I Will tarry until thou come again.

And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? Will ye save him? he that Will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.

Behold, I Will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

• Prayer

And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I Will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I Will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped Will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

• Retaliation

And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I Will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I Will break down this tower.

Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God Will be with thee.

For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I Will serve the LORD.

• Ittai
• Loyalty
• Servants

And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also Will thy servant be.

• Ark

And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he Will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:

See, I Will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.

But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I Will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so Will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.

It may be that the LORD Will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD Will requite me good for his cursing this day.

And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his Will I be, and with him Will I abide.

And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so Will I be in thy presence.

Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I Will arise and pursue after David this night:

And I Will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and Will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I Will smite the king only:

And I Will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.

For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and Will not lodge with the people.

Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it Will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it Will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.

• Armies

And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I Will surely go forth with you myself also.

• Israelites
• Citizens
• Israelites

But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they Will not care for us; neither if half of us die, Will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.

And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I Will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.

Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there Will not tarry one with thee this night: and that Will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.

And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I Will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.

And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I Will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.

And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I Will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that Will I do for thee.

The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I Will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

And the Gibeonites said unto him, We Will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that Will I do for you.

Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we Will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I Will give them.

• Horn
• Shield
• Tower

The God of my rock; in him Will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

I Will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD Will lighten my darkness.

Therefore I Will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I Will sing praises unto thy name.

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I Will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither Will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

• Adonijah
• Ambition
• Adonijah

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I Will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also Will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so Will I certainly do this day.

And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he Will not slay his servant with the sword.

And Solomon said, If he Will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I Will not put thee to death with the sword.

And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he Will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

And Bathsheba said, Well; I Will speak for thee unto the king.

Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I Will not say thee nay.

• Punishment

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I Will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I Will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so Will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I Will lengthen thy days.

And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I Will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.

• Timber
• Commerce

Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee Will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.

• Timber
• Commerce

And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I Will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I Will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and Will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then Will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:

And I Will dwell among the children of Israel, and Will not forsake my people Israel.

But Will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

Then I Will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and Will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

Then Will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, Will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

• Concubinage
• Fugitives
• Government

Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they Will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I Will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and Will give it to thy servant.

Notwithstanding in thy days I Will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I Will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

• Government

Howbeit I Will not rend away all the kingdom; but Will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I Will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and Will give ten tribes to thee:

• David
• Obedience

Howbeit I Will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I Will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:

But I Will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and Will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.

And unto his son Will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

And I Will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I Will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and Will give Israel unto thee.

And I Will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

• Rulers

Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we Will serve thee.

• Prudence

And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they Will be thy servants for ever.

• Scorpion
• Scourging

And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I Will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I Will chastise you with scorpions.

• Oppression
• Scorpion

And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I Will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I Will chastise you with scorpions.

And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I Will give thee a reward.

And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I Will not go in with thee, neither Will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither Will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

Therefore, behold, I Will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and Will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and Will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

Behold, I Will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and Will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

• Famine
• Prayer

And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I Will send rain upon the earth.

And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I Will surely shew myself unto him to day.

Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I Will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

And call ye on the name of your gods, and I Will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I Will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?

Yet I Will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.

Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I Will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.

And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I Will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria Will come up against thee.

And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we Will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.

And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore Will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

• Cord

And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he Will save thy life.

• Covenant
• Ahab
• Self-delusion

And Benhadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I Will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I Will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.

And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I Will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I Will give thee the worth of it in money.

• Anger

And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I Will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I Will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I Will not give thee my vineyard.

And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I Will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

Behold, I Will bring evil upon thee, and Will take away thy posterity, and Will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,

And Will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.

• Ahab
• Humility

Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I Will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days Will I bring the evil upon his house.

And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that Will I speak.

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I Will persuade him.
