Genesis 25.20: 20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

Genesis 25.21: 21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

Genesis 25.22: 22 The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.

Genesis 25.24: 24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

Genesis 25.25: 25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

Genesis 25.28: 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

Genesis 25.32: 32 Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”

Genesis 25.34: 34 Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

1 Samuel 18.1: 18When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

1 Samuel 18.2: 2 Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more.

1 Samuel 18.3: 3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

1 Samuel 18.4: 4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.

1 Samuel 18.5: 5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.

1 Samuel 18.6: 6 As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.

1 Samuel 18.8: 8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have creditd David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”

1 Samuel 18.10: 10 On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;

1 Samuel 18.11: 11 and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.

1 Samuel 18.12: 12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and had departed from Saul.

1 Samuel 18.13: 13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

1 Samuel 18.14: 14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.

1 Samuel 18.15: 15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.

1 Samuel 18.16: 16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.

1 Samuel 18.17: 17 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”

1 Samuel 18.18: 18 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”

1 Samuel 18.19: 19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.

1 Samuel 18.20: 20 Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

1 Samuel 18.21: 21 Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David, “You shall today be my son-in-law a second time.”

1 Samuel 18.22: 22 Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”

1 Samuel 18.23: 23 Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and little known?”

1 Samuel 18.24: 24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”

1 Samuel 18.25: 25 Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

1 Samuel 18.26: 26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,

1 Samuel 18.27: 27 David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.

1 Samuel 18.28: 28 Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.

1 Samuel 18.29: 29 Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.

1 Samuel 18.30: 30 Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.

1 Samuel 22.1: 22David therefore departed from there, and escaped to Adullam’s cave. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.

1 Samuel 22.2: 2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them. There were with him about four hundred men.

1 Samuel 22.3: 3 David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God will do for me.”

1 Samuel 22.4: 4 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

1 Samuel 22.5: 5 The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.”

1 Samuel 22.6: 6 Saul heard that David was discovered, with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.

1 Samuel 22.7: 7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,

1 Samuel 22.8: 8 that all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”

1 Samuel 22.9: 9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

1 Samuel 22.10: 10 He inquired of Yahweh for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”

1 Samuel 22.11: 11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.

1 Samuel 22.13: 13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”

1 Samuel 22.14: 14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honored in your house?

1 Samuel 22.15: 15 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knows nothing of all this, less or more.”

1 Samuel 22.16: 16 The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father’s house.”

1 Samuel 22.17: 17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.

Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.

1 Samuel 22.19: 19 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

1 Samuel 22.20: 20 One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

1 Samuel 22.21: 21 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh’s priests.

1 Samuel 22.22: 22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.

1 Samuel 22.23: 23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. For you will be safe with me.”

Ezekiel 18.2: 2 “What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying,

Ezekiel 18.3: 3 “As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh, “you shall not use this proverb any more in Israel.

Ezekiel 18.4: 4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul who sins, he shall die.

Ezekiel 18.10: 10 “If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things,

shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.

Ezekiel 18.14: 14 “Now, behold, if he fathers a son, who sees all his father’s sins, which he has done, and fears, and does not such like;

Ezekiel 18.18: 18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.

Ezekiel 18.19: 19 “Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live.

Ezekiel 18.20: 20 The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.

Ezekiel 18.21: 21 “But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

Ezekiel 18.22: 22 None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live.

Ezekiel 18.23: 23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord Yahweh; “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?

Ezekiel 18.24: 24 “But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.

Ezekiel 18.25: 25 “Yet you say, ‘The way of the Lord is not equal.’ Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal?

Ezekiel 18.26: 26 When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies therein; in his iniquity that he has done he shall die.

Ezekiel 18.27: 27 Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he will save his soul alive.

Ezekiel 18.28: 28 Because he considers, and turns away from all his transgressions that he has committed, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

Ezekiel 18.29: 29 Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ House of Israel, aren’t my ways fair? Aren’t your ways unfair?

Ezekiel 18.30: 30 “Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, everyone according to his ways,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Return, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity will not be your ruin.

Ezekiel 18.31: 31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?

Ezekiel 18.32: 32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Therefore turn yourselves, and live!

Esther (Greek) 5.1: 51 It came to pass on the third day, when she had ceased praying, that she took off her servant’s dress, and put on her glorious apparel. Being splendidly dressed and having called upon God the Overseer and Preserver of all things, she took her two maids, and she leaned upon one, as a delicate female, and the other followed bearing her train. She was blooming in the perfection of her beauty. Her face was cheerful and looked lovely, but her heart was filled with fear. Having passed through all the doors, she stood before the king. He was sitting on his royal throne. He had put on all his glorious apparel, covered all over with gold and precious stones, and was very terrifying. And having raised his face resplendent with glory, he looked with intense anger. The queen fell, and changed her color as she fainted. She bowed herself upon the head of the maid who went before her. But God changed the spirit of the king to gentleness, and in intense feeling, he sprang from off his throne, and took her into his arms, until she recovered. He comforted her with peaceful words, and said to her, “What is the matter, Esther? I am your relative. Cheer up! You shall not die, for our command is openly declared to you: ‘Draw near.’”

Esther (Greek) 5.2: 2 And having raised the golden sceptre, he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her. He said, “Speak to me.”

So she said to him, “I saw you, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of your glory; for you, my lord, are to be wondered at, and your face is full of grace.” While she was speaking, she fainted and fell.

Esther (Greek) 5.3: 3 The king said, “What do you desire, Esther? What is your request? Ask even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be yours.”

Esther (Greek) 5.4: 4 Esther said, “Today is a special day. So if it seems good to the king, let both him and Haman come to the feast which I will prepare this day.”

Esther (Greek) 5.5: 5 The king said, “Hurry and bring Haman here, that we may do as Esther said.” So they both come to the feast about which Esther had spoken.

Esther (Greek) 5.6: 6 At the banquet, the king said to Esther, “What is your request, queen Esther? You shall have all that you require.”

Esther (Greek) 5.8: 8 if I have found favor in the king’s sight, let the king and Haman come again tomorrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do the same.”

Esther (Greek) 5.9: 9 So Haman went out from the king very glad and merry; but when Haman saw Mordecai the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.

Esther (Greek) 5.10: 10 Having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zeresh.

Esther (Greek) 5.11: 11 He showed them his wealth and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had promoted him to be chief ruler in the kingdom.

Esther (Greek) 5.12: 12 Haman said, “The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited tomorrow.

Esther (Greek) 5.13: 13 But these things don’t please me while I see Mordecai the Jew in the court.

Esther (Greek) 5.14: 14 Then Zeresh his wife and his friends said to him, “Let a fifty cubit tall 2 gallows be made for you. In the morning you speak to the king, and let Mordecai be hanged on the gallows; but you go in to the feast with the king, and be merry.”
