Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 2CH_16:10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this [thing]. And Asa oppressed [some] of the people the same time. 2CH_16:11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 2CH_16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease [was] exceeding [great]: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 2CH_16:13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 2CH_16:14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him. 2CH_17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel. 2CH_17:2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. 2CH_17:3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; 2CH_17:4 But sought to the [LORD] God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. 2CH_17:5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. 2CH_17:6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah. 2CH_17:7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, [even] to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah. 2CH_17:8 And with them [he sent] Levites, [even] Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests. 2CH_17:9 And they taught in Judah, and [had] the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. 2CH_17:10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that [were] round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 2CH_17:11 Also [some] of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats. 2CH_17:12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store. 2CH_17:13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Jerusalem. 2CH_17:14 And these [are] the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand. 2CH_17:15 And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. 2CH_17:16 And next him [was] Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour. 2CH_17:17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand. 2CH_17:18 And next him [was] Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war. 2CH_17:19 These waited on the king, beside [those] whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah. 2CH_18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. 2CH_18:2 And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that [he had] with him, and persuaded him to go up [with him] to Ramothgilead. 2CH_18:3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I [am] as thou [art], and my people as thy people; and [we will be] with thee in the war. 2CH_18:4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 2CH_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. 2CH_18:6 But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him? 2CH_18:7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There is] yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same [is] Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 2CH_18:8 And the king of Israel called for one [of his] officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 2CH_18:9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in [their] robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 2CH_18:10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. 2CH_18:11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king. 2CH_18:12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. 2CH_18:13 And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. 2CH_18:14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. ACT_21:5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed. ACT_21:6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again. ACT_21:7 And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. ACT_21:8 And the next [day] we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was [one] of the seven; and abode with him. ACT_21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. ACT_21:10 And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. ACT_21:11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles. ACT_21:12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. ACT_21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. ACT_21:14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. ACT_21:15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem. ACT_21:16 There went with us also [certain] of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. ACT_21:17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. ACT_21:18 And the [day] following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. ACT_21:19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. ACT_21:20 And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: ACT_21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise [their] children, neither to walk after the customs. ACT_21:22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. ACT_21:23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; ACT_21:24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave [their] heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but [that] thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. PSA_86:14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. PSA_86:15 But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. PSA_86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. PSA_86:17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. PSA_87:1 A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is] in the holy mountains. PSA_87:2 The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. PRO_19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. PRO_19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. LUKJ_12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. LUKJ_12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry. LUKJ_12:20 But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? LUKJ_12:21 So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. LUKJ_12:22 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
