2Ki 1:1
Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2Ki 1:2 And
Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in
Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire
of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
2Ki 1:3 But the
angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the
messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there
is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god
of Ekron?
2Ki 1:4 Now
therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which
thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
2Ki 1:5 And when
the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned
back?
2Ki 1:6 And they
said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again
unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it
not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to
enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
2Ki 1:7 And he
said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and
told you these words?
2Ki 1:8 And they
answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather
about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
2Ki 1:9 Then the
king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him:
and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of
God, the king hath said, Come down.
2Ki 1:10 And
Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God,
then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there
came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2Ki 1:11 Again
also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered
and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
2Ki 1:12 And
Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come
down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down
from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2Ki 1:13 And he
sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain
of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought
him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of
these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
2Ki 1:14 Behold,
there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former
fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
2Ki 1:15 And the
angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And
he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
2Ki 1:16 And he
said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to
enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is
no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off
that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
2Ki 1:17 So he
died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram
reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king
of Judah; because he had no son.
2Ki 1:18 Now the
rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2Ki 2:1
And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a
whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2Ki 2:2 And Elijah
said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel.
And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul
liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
2Ki 2:3 And the
sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said
unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to
day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
2Ki 2:4 And Elijah
said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to
Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth,
I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
2Ki 2:5 And the
sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto
him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day?
And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
2Ki 2:6 And Elijah
said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan.
And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will
not leave thee. And they two went on.
2Ki 2:7 And fifty
men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two
stood by Jordan.
2Ki 2:8 And Elijah
took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they
were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2Ki 2:9 And it
came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what
I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray
thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
2Ki 2:10 And he
said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when
I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be
so.
2Ki 2:11 And it
came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both
asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
2Ki 2:12 And
Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of
Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of
his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
2Ki 2:13 He took
up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by
the bank of Jordan;
2Ki 2:14 And he
took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said,
Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the
waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
2Ki 2:15 And when
the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they
said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and
bowed themselves to the ground before him.
2Ki 2:16 And they
said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let
them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the
LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.
And he said, Ye shall not send.
2Ki 2:17 And when
they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty
men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
2Ki 2:18 And when
they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I
not say unto you, Go not?
2Ki 2:19 And the
men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this
city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and
the ground barren.
2Ki 2:20 And he
said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to
him.
2Ki 2:21 And he
went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said,
Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence
any more death or barren land.
2Ki 2:22 So the
waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he
spake.
2Ki 2:23 And he
went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came
forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go
up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2Ki 2:24 And he
turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And
there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children
of them.
2Ki 2:25 And he
went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Act 13:42 And when
the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words
might be preached to them the next sabbath.
Act 13:43 Now when
the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes
followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue
in the grace of God.
Act 13:44 And the
next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Act 13:45 But when
the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against
those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Act 13:46 Then
Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God
should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge
yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
Act 13:47 For so
hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the
Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Act 13:48 And when
the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord:
and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
Act 13:49 And the
word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
Act 13:50 But the
Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city,
and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of
their coasts.
Act 13:51 But they
shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Act 13:52 And the
disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
Act 14:1
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the
synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews
and also of the Greeks believed.
Act 14:2 But the
unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected
against the brethren.
Act 14:3 Long time
therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the
word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Act 14:4 But the
multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with
the apostles.
Act 14:5 And when
there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their
rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
Act 14:6 They were
ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto
the region that lieth round about:
Act 14:7 And there
they preached the gospel.
Psa 139:1
To the chief Musician, A Psalm
of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Psa 139:2 Thou
knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar
off.
Psa 139:3 Thou
compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my
ways.
Psa 139:4 For there
is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it
altogether.
Psa 139:5 Thou
hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Psa 139:6 Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain
unto it.
Psa 139:7 Whither
shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Psa 139:8 If I
ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold,
thou art there.
Psa 139:9 If
I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the
sea;
Psa 139:10 Even
there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Psa 139:11 If I
say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about
me.
Psa 139:12 Yea,
the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the
darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Psa 139:13 For
thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
Psa 139:14 I will
praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are
thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Psa 139:15 My
substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Psa 139:16 Thine
eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my
members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as
yet there was none of them.
Psa 139:17 How
precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Psa 139:18 If
I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am
still with thee.
Psa 139:19 Surely
thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
Psa 139:20 For
they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name
in vain.
Psa 139:21 Do not
I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise
up against thee?
Psa 139:22 I hate
them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Psa 139:23 Search
me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Psa 139:24 And see
if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Pro 17:19 He
loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate
seeketh destruction.
Pro 17:20 He that
hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue
falleth into mischief.
Pro 17:21 He that
begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath
no joy.
