1SA_25:8 Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

1SA_25:9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

1SA_25:10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

1SA_25:11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] unto men, whom I know not whence they [be]?

1SA_25:12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.

1SA_25:13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.

1SA_25:14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.

1SA_25:15 But the men [were] very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

1SA_25:16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

1SA_25:17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he [is such] a son of Belial, that [a man] cannot speak to him.

1SA_25:18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid [them] on asses.

1SA_25:19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

1SA_25:20 And it was [so, as] she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.

1SA_25:21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this [fellow] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that [pertained] unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.

1SA_25:22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

1SA_25:23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

1SA_25:24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me [let this] iniquity [be]: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

1SA_25:25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, [even] Nabal: for as his name [is], so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

1SA_25:26 Now therefore, my lord, [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

1SA_25:27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

1SA_25:28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee [all] thy days.

1SA_25:29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, [as out] of the middle of a sling.

1SA_25:30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

1SA_25:31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

1SA_25:32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:

1SA_25:33 And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

1SA_25:34 For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

1SA_25:35 So David received of her hand [that] which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

1SA_25:36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart [was] merry within him, for he [was] very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

1SA_25:37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became [as] a stone.

1SA_25:38 And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

1SA_25:39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

1SA_25:40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

1SA_25:41 And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the earth, and said, Behold, [let] thine handmaid [be] a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

1SA_25:42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

1SA_25:43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

1SA_25:44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which [was] of Gallim.

1SA_26:1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon?

1SA_26:2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

1SA_26:3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

1SA_26:4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.

1SA_26:5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.

1SA_26:6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

1SA_26:7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.

1SA_26:8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not [smite] him the second time.

1SA_26:9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?

1SA_26:10 David said furthermore, [As] the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

JOH_5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

JOH_5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

JOH_5:32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

JOH_5:33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

JOH_5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

JOH_5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

JOH_5:36 But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

JOH_5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

JOH_5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

JOH_5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

JOH_5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

JOH_5:41 I receive not honour from men.

JOH_5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

JOH_5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

JOH_5:44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?

JOH_5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.

JOH_5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

JOH_5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

JOH_6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is [the sea] of Tiberias.

JOH_6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

JOH_6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

JOH_6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

JOH_6:5 When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

JOH_6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

JOH_6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

JOH_6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

JOH_6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

PSA_63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:

PSA_63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches.

PSA_63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

PSA_63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

PSA_63:9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

PSA_63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

PSA_63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

PRO_13:23 Much food [is in] the tillage of the poor: but there is [that is] destroyed for want of judgment.

PRO_13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

MARJ_9:50 Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

MARJ_10:3 What did Moses command you?

MARJ_10:5 For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

MARJ_10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

MARJ_10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

MARJ_10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

MARJ_10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
