01-GENESIS
01-14:17 And
the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of
Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh,
which is the king’s dale.
01-39:20 And
Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the
prison.
04-NUMBERS
04-20:17 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.
04-21:22 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.
09-18:22 And
Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say,
Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now
therefore be the king’s son in law.
09-18:23 And
Saul’s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth
it to you a light thing to be a king’s son in
law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
09-18:25 And
Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an
hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by
the hand of the Philistines.
09-18:26 And
when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son in law: and the days were not expired.
09-18:27 Wherefore
David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred
men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the
king, that he might be the king’s son in law.
And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
09-20:29 And
he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city;
and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found
favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren.
Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table.
09-21:8 And
David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or
sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.
09-22:14 Then
Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy
servants as David, which is the king’s son in
law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
09-23:20 Now
therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come
down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king’s
hand.
09-26:16 This
thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to
die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD’S anointed. And now see
where the king’s spear is, and the cruse of
water that was at his bolster.
09-26:22 And
David answered and said, Behold the king’s
spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
10-9:11 Then
said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded
his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he
shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s
sons.
10-9:13 So
Mephibosheth dwelt in
10-11:2 And
it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and
walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and
from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful
to look upon.
10-11:8 And
David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah
departed out of the king’s house, and there
followed him a mess of meat from the king.
10-11:9 But
Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with
all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10-11:20 And
if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say
unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight?
knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
10-11:24 And
the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king’s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the
Hittite is dead also.
10-12:30 And
he took their king’s crown from off his head,
the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was
set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great
abundance.
10-13:4 And
he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s
son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I
love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.
10-13:18 And
she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then
his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
10-13:23 And
it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in
Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.
10-13:27 But
Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king’s
sons go with him.
10-13:29 And
the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his
mule, and fled.
10-13:30 And
it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David,
saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons,
and there is not one of them left.
10-13:32 And
Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord
suppose that they have slain all the young men the king’s
sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been
determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
10-13:33 Now
therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that
all the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon only is
dead.
10-13:35 And
Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king’s
sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
10-13:36 And
it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept:
and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
10-14:1 Now
Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s
heart was toward Absalom.
10-14:24 And
the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So
Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king’s
face.
10-14:26 And
when he polled his head, (for it was at every year’s end that he polled it:
because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair
of his head at two hundred shekels after the king’s
weight.
10-14:28 So
Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king’s face.
10-14:32 And
Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I
may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been
good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king’s face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let
him kill me.
10-15:15 And
the king’s servants said unto the king, Behold,
thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
10-15:35 And
hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it
shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar
the priests.
10-16:2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
10-18:12 And
the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in
mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king’s son: for in our hearing the king charged thee
and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
10-18:18 Now
Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is
in the king’s dale: for he said, I have no son
to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name:
and it is called unto this day, Absalom’s place.
10-18:20 And
Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear
tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king’s son is dead.
10-18:29 And
the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab
sent the king’s servant, and me thy servant, I
saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.
10-19:18 And
there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king’s
household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down
before the king, as he was come over Jordan;
10-19:42 And
all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of
kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of
the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?
10-24:4 Notwithstanding
the king’s word prevailed against Joab, and
against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went
out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
11-1:9 And
Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is
by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king’s
sons, and all the men of Judah the king’s
servants:
11-1:25 For
he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in
abundance, and hath called all the king’s sons,
and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat
and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
11-1:28 Then
king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king’s presence, and stood before the king.
11-1:44 And
the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they
have caused him to ride upon the king’s mule:
11-1:47 And
moreover the king’s servants came to bless our
lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and
make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the
bed.
11-2:19 Bathsheba
therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king
rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne,
and caused a seat to be set for the king’s
mother; and she sat on his right hand.
11-4:5 And
Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; and Zabud the son of Nathan
was principal officer, and the king’s friend:
11-9:1 And
it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the
LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s
desire which he was pleased to do,
11-9:10 And
it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two
houses, the house of the LORD, and the king’s
house,
11-10:12 And
the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the
king’s house, harps also and psalteries for
singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
11-10:28 And
Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
11-11:14 And
the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the
king’s seed in Edom.
11-13:6 And
the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the
LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the
man of God besought the LORD, and the king’s
hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
11-14:26 And
he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away
all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
11-14:27 And
king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the
hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king’s house.
11-15:18 Then
Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the
house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s
house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them
to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt
at Damascus, saying,
11-16:18 And
it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the
palace of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died,
11-22:12 And
all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for
the LORD shall deliver it into the king’s hand.
11-22:26 And
the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the
governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s
son;
12-7:9 Then
they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings,
and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will
come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.
12-7:11 And
he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s
house within.
12-9:34 And
when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed
woman, and bury her: for she is a king’s
daughter.
12-10:6 Then
he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye
will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons,
and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the
great men of the city, which brought them up.
12-10:7 And
it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their
heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
12-10:8 And
there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of
the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two
heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
12-11:2 But
Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of
Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king’s
sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the
bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
12-11:4 And
the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the
captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and
made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD,
and shewed them the king’s son.
12-11:5 And
he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of
you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
12-11:12 And
he brought forth the king’s son, and put the
crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and
anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
12-11:16 And
they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came
into the king’s house: and there was she slain.
12-11:19 And
he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the
people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD,
and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s
house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
12-11:20 And
all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew
Athaliah with the sword beside the king’s house.
12-12:10 And
it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king’s scribe and the high priest came up, and they
put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
12-12:18 And
Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and
Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own
hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house
of the LORD, and in the king’s house, and sent
it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
12-13:16 And
he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand
upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s
hands.
12-14:14 And
he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the
house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s
house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
12-15:5 And
the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and
dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king’s
son was over the house, judging the people of the land.
12-15:25 But
Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote
him in Samaria, in the palace of the king’s
house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he
killed him, and reigned in his room.
12-16:8 And
Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in
the treasures of the king’s house, and sent it
for a present to the king of Assyria.
12-16:15 And
king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the
morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with
the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and
their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering,
and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to
enquire by.
12-16:18 And
the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house of the
LORD for the king of Assyria.
12-18:15 And
Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and
in the treasures of the king’s house.
12-18:36 But
the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
12-22:12 And
the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and
Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of
the king’s, saying,
12-24:13 And
he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the
treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces
all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of
the LORD, as the LORD had said.
12-24:15 And
he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s
mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers,
and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to
Babylon.
12-25:4 And
the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the
gate between two walls, which is by the king’s
garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went
the way toward the plain.
12-25:9 And
he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s
house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he
with fire.
12-25:19 And
out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five
men of them that were in the king’s presence,
which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which
mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land
that were found in the city:
13-9:18 Who
hitherto waited in the king’s gate eastward:
they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
13-21:4 Nevertheless
the king’s word prevailed against Joab.
Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
13-21:6 But
Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king’s
word was abominable to Joab.
13-25:5 All
these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in
the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and
three daughters.
13-25:6 All
these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD,
with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God,
according to the king’s order to Asaph,
Jeduthun, and Heman.
13-27:25 And
over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth the son of
Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the
villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:
13-27:32 Also
Jonathan David’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel
the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons:
13-27:33 And
Ahithophel was the king’s counsellor: and Hushai
the Archite was the king’s companion:
13-27:34 And
after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general
of the king’s army was Joab.
13-29:6 Then
the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains
of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king’s
work, offered willingly,
14-1:16 And
Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
14-7:11 Thus
Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king’s
house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD,
and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
14-9:11 And
the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers:
and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
14-9:21 For
the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the
servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing
gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
14-12:9 So
Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of
the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s
house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had
made.
14-12:10 Instead
of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands
of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house.
14-16:2 Then
Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD
and of the king’s house, and sent to Benhadad
king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
14-18:5 Therefore
the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said
unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they
said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s
hand.
14-18:25 Then
the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the
governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s
son;
14-19:11 And,
behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah
the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters: also the Levites shall be officers
before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.
14-21:17 And
they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance
that was found in the king’s house, and his sons
also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the
youngest of his sons.
14-22:11 But
Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and
stole him from among the king’s sons that were
slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter
of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of
Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
14-23:3 And
all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he
said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall
reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
14-23:5 And
a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a
third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the
courts of the house of the LORD.
14-23:11 Then
they brought out the king’s son, and put upon him
the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his
sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
14-23:15 So
they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate
by the king’s house, they slew her there.
14-23:20 And
he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the
people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the
house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the
kingdom.
14-24:8 And
at the king’s commandment they made a chest, and
set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
14-24:11 Now
it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king’s office by the hand of the Levites, and when
they saw that there was much money, the king’s
scribe and the high priest’s officer came and emptied the chest, and took it,
and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money
in abundance.
14-25:16 And
it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou
made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why
shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God
hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not
hearkened unto my counsel.
14-25:24 And
he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the
house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king’s
house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
14-26:11 Moreover
Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to
the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the
ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s
captains.
14-26:21 And
Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several
house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham
his son was over the king’s house, judging the
people of the land.
14-28:7 And
Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s
son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the
king.
14-29:25 And
he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and
with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the
commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
14-31:3 He
appointed also the king’s portion of his
substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt
offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and
for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.
14-34:20 And
the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of
Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king’s, saying,
14-35:7 And
Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover
offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and
three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s
substance.
14-35:10 So
the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites
in their courses, according to the king’s
commandment.
14-35:15 And
the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment
of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s
seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their
service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
15-4:14 Now
because we have maintenance from the king’s
palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king’s
dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
15-5:17 Now
therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon,
whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house
of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this
matter.
15-6:4 With
three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be
given out of the king’s house:
15-6:8 Moreover
I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building
of this house of God: that of the king’s goods,
even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these
men, that they be not hindered.
15-7:20 And
whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt
have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king’s
treasure house.
15-7:27 Blessed
be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which
is in Jerusalem:
15-7:28 And
hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before
all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened
as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of
Israel chief men to go up with me.
15-8:36 And
they delivered the king’s commissions unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the
river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
16-1:11 O
Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy
servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and
prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of
this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.
16-2:8 And
a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s
forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace
which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house
that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of
my God upon me.
16-2:9 Then
I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king’s letters. Now the king had sent captains of the
army and horsemen with me.
16-2:14 Then
I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s
pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
16-2:18 Then
I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they
said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good
work.
16-3:15 But
the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part
of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks
thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king’s garden, and unto the stairs that go down from
the city of David.
16-3:25 Palal
the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall, and the tower which
lieth out from the king’s high house, that was
by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh.
16-5:4 There
were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s
tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
16-11:23 For
it was the king’s commandment concerning them,
that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.
16-11:24 And
Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah,
was at the king’s hand in all matters concerning
the people.
17-1:5 And
when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that
were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in
the court of the garden of the king’s palace;
17-1:12 But
the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s
commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger
burned in him.
17-1:13 Then
the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
17-1:14 And
the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and
Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
17-1:18 Likewise
shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king’s princes, which have heard of the deed of the
queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
17-1:20 And
when the king’s decree which he shall make shall
be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall
give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
17-1:22 For
he sent letters into all the king’s provinces,
into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after
their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it
should be published according to the language of every people.
17-2:2 Then
said the king’s servants that ministered unto
him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
17-2:3 And
let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they
may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the
house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king’s
chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be
given them:
17-2:8 So
it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and
his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan
the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the
women.
17-2:9 And
the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave
her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven
maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king’s
house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of
the women.
17-2:13 Then
thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to
go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s
house.
17-2:14 In
the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of
the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s
chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more,
except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
17-2:15 Now
when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had
taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required
nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain,
the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of
all them that looked upon her.
17-2:19 And
when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in
the king’s gate.
17-2:21 In
those days, while Mordecai sat in the king’s
gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan
and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on
the king Ahasuerus.
17-3:2 And
all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king
had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
17-3:3 Then
the king’s servants, which were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest
thou the king’s commandment?
17-3:8 And
Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and
dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws
are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s
laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit
to suffer them.
17-3:9 If
it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will
pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge
of the business, to bring it into the king’s
treasuries.
17-3:12 Then
were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth
day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had
commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to
the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people
of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after
their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with
the king’s ring.
17-3:13 And
the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s
provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young
and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of
the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a
prey.
17-3:15 The
posts went out, being hastened by the king’s
commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and
Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
17-4:2 And
came even before the king’s gate: for none might
enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
17-4:3 And
in every province, whithersoever the king’s
commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and
fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
17-4:5 Then
called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s
chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a
commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
17-4:6 So
Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the
king’s gate.
17-4:7 And
Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the
money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s
treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
17-4:11 All
the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man
or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called,
there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall
hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to
come in unto the king these thirty days.
17-4:13 Then
Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt
escape in the king’s house, more than all the
Jews.
17-5:1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate
