2CH_22:9 And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he [is] the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.

2CH_22:10 But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

2CH_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.

2CH_22:12 And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.

2CH_23:6 But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they [are] holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

2CH_23:7 And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever [else] cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.

2CH_23:8 So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go [out] on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.

2CH_23:9 Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that [had been] king David's, which [were] in the house of God.

2CH_23:10 And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

2CH_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.

2CH_23:12 Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:

2CH_23:13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.

2CH_23:14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.

2CH_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.

2CH_23:16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD'S people.

2CH_23:17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

2CH_23:18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as [it is] written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, [as it was ordained] by David.

2CH_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.

2CH_23:21 And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

2CH_24:1 Joash [was] seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Zibiah of Beersheba.

2CH_24:2 And Joash did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

2CH_24:3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.

2CH_24:4 And it came to pass after this, [that] Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.

2CH_24:5 And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened [it] not.

2CH_24:6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, [according to the commandment] of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?

2CH_24:7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.

2CH_24:9 And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [that] Moses the servant of God [laid] upon Israel in the wilderness.

2CH_24:10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.

2CH_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.

2CH_24:12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.

2CH_24:13 So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.

2CH_24:14 And when they had finished [it], they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, [even] vessels to minister, and to offer [withal], and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

2CH_24:15 But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old [was he] when he died.

2CH_24:16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.

2CH_24:17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.

ACT_22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

ACT_22:23 And as they cried out, and cast off [their] clothes, and threw dust into the air,

ACT_22:24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.

ACT_22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

ACT_22:26 When the centurion heard [that], he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.

ACT_22:27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.

ACT_22:28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was [free] born.

ACT_22:29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

ACT_22:30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from [his] bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

ACT_23:1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men [and] brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

ACT_23:2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

ACT_23:3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

ACT_23:4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

ACT_23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

ACT_23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men [and] brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

ACT_23:7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

ACT_23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

ACT_23:9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes [that were] of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

PSA_88:9 Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

PSA_88:11 Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy faithfulness in destruction?

PSA_88:12 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

PSA_88:13 But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.

PSA_88:14 LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy face from me?

LUKJ_12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

LUKJ_12:34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

LUKJ_12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;

LUKJ_12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

LUKJ_12:37 Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
