And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. 2SA_14:19 And the king said, [Is not] the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, [As] thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid: 2SA_14:20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all [things] that [are] in the earth. 2SA_14:21 And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again. 2SA_14:22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant. 2SA_14:23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 2SA_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. 2SA_14:25 But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 2SA_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. 2SA_14:27 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name [was] Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance. 2SA_14:28 So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face. 2SA_14:29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come. 2SA_14:30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire. 2SA_14:31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto [his] house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire? 2SA_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. 2SA_14:33 So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom. 2SA_15:1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2SA_15:2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was [so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city [art] thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel. 2SA_15:3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters [are] good and right; but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king to hear thee. 2SA_15:4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice! 2SA_15:5 And it was [so], that when any man came night [to him] to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 2SA_15:6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 2SA_15:7 And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron. 2SA_15:8 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. 2SA_15:9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron. 2SA_15:10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron. 2SA_15:11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, [that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing. 2SA_15:12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, [even] from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom. 2SA_15:13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. 2SA_15:14 And David said unto all his servants that [were] with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 2SA_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. 2SA_15:16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, [which were] concubines, to keep the house. 2SA_15:17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off. 2SA_15:18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king. 2SA_15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou [art] a stranger, and also an exile. 2SA_15:20 Whereas thou camest [but] yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth [be] with thee. 2SA_15:21 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. 2SA_15:22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that [were] with him. 2SA_15:23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness. 2SA_15:24 And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites [were] with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city. 2SA_15:25 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 show me [both] it, and his habitation: 2SA_15:26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him. 2SA_15:27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, [Art not] thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 2SA_15:28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me. 2SA_15:29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there. 2SA_15:30 And David went up by the ascent of [mount] Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that [was] with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. 2SA_15:31 And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. 2SA_15:32 And it came to pass, that [when] David was come to the top [of the mount], where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head: 2SA_15:33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me: 2SA_15:34 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. JOH_9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. JOH_9:40 And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? JOH_9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. JOH_10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. JOH_10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. JOH_10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. JOH_10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. JOH_10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. JOH_10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. JOH_10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. JOH_10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. JOH_10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. JOH_10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. JOH_10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. JOH_10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. JOH_10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. JOH_10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. JOH_10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. JOH_10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. JOH_10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. JOH_10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. JOH_10:19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. JOH_10:20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? PSA_68:9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary. PSA_68:10 Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. PSA_68:11 The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of those that published [it]. PSA_68:12 Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil. PSA_68:13 Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold. PSA_68:14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon. PSA_68:15 The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill [as] the hill of Bashan. PRO_14:24 The crown of the wise [is] their riches: [but] the foolishness of fools [is] folly. PRO_14:25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful [witness] speaketh lies. PRO_14:26 In the fear of the LORD [is] strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. MARJ_12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: MARJ_12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? MARJ_12:15 Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see [it]. MARJ_12:16 Whose [is] this image and superscription? MARJ_12:17 Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. MARJ_12:24 Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? MARJ_12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
