2 Kings 17:24-41

17:24

And the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

brought
<0935> (8686)

[men] from Babylon
<0894>_,

and from Cuthah
<03575>_,

and from Ava
<05755>_,

and from Hamath
<02574>_,

and from Sepharvaim
<05617>_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

[them] in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>

instead of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and they possessed
<03423> (8799)

Samaria
<08111>_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the cities
<05892>

thereof.

17:25

And [so] it was at the beginning
<08462>

of their dwelling
<03427> (8800)

there, [that] they feared
<03372> (8804)

not the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore the LORD
<03068>

sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, which slew
<02026> (8802)

[some] of them.

17:26

Wherefore they spake
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The nations
<01471>

which thou hast removed
<01540> (8689)_,

and placed
<03427> (8686)

in the cities
<05892>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

know
<03045> (8804)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_:

therefore he hath sent
<07971> (8762)

lions
<0738>

among them, and, behold, they slay
<04191> (8688)

them, because they know
<03045> (8802)

not the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

17:27

Then the king
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>

commanded
<06680> (8762)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Carry
<03212> (8685)

thither one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom ye brought
<01540> (8689)

from thence; and let them go
<03212> (8799)

and dwell
<03427> (8799)

there, and let him teach
<03384> (8686)

them the manner
<04941>

of the God
<0430>

of the land
<0776>_.

17:28

Then one
<0259>

of the priests
<03548>

whom they had carried away
<01540> (8689)

from Samaria
<08111>

came
<0935> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Bethel
<01008>_,

and taught
<03384> (8688)

them how they should fear
<03372> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_.

17:29

Howbeit every nation
<01471>

made
<06213> (8802)

gods
<0430>

of their own, and put
<03240> (8686)

[them] in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>

which the Samaritans
<08118>

had made
<06213> (8804)_,

every nation
<01471>

in their cities
<05892>

wherein they dwelt
<03427> (8802)_.

17:30

And the men
<0582>

of Babylon
<0894>

made
<06213> (8804)

Succothbenoth
<05524>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Cuth
<03575>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nergal
<05370>_,

and the men
<0582>

of Hamath
<02574>

made
<06213> (8804)

Ashima
<0807>_,

17:31

And the Avites
<05757>

made
<06213> (8804)

Nibhaz
<05026>

and Tartak
<08662>_,

and the Sepharvites
<05616>

burnt
<08313> (8802)

their children
<01121>

in fire
<0784>

to Adrammelech
<0152>

and Anammelech
<06048>_,

the gods
<0430>

of Sepharvaim
<05617>_.

17:32

So they feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and made
<06213> (8799)

unto themselves of the lowest
<07098>

of them priests
<03548>

of the high places
<01116>_,

which sacrificed
<06213> (8802)

for them in the houses
<01004>

of the high places
<01116>_.

17:33

They feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their own gods
<0430>_,

after the manner
<04941>

of the nations
<01471>

whom they carried away
<01540> (8689)

from thence. {whom...: or, who carried them away from thence}

17:34

Unto this day
<03117>

they do
<06213> (8802)

after the former
<07223>

manners
<04941>_:

they fear
<03373>

not the LORD
<03068>_,

neither do
<06213> (8802)

they after their statutes
<02708>_,

or after their ordinances
<04941>_,

or after the law
<08451>

and commandment
<04687>

which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

the children
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

whom he named
<07760> (8804) <08034>

Israel
<03478>_;

17:35

With whom the LORD
<03068>

had made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>_,

and charged
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

nor bow
<07812> (8691)

yourselves to them, nor serve
<05647> (8799)

them, nor sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

to them:

17:36

But the LORD
<03068>_,

who brought you up
<05927> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

with great
<01419>

power
<03581>

and a stretched out
<05186> (8803)

arm
<02220>_,

him shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and him shall ye worship
<07812> (8691)_,

and to him shall ye do sacrifice
<02076> (8799)_.

17:37

And the statutes
<02706>_,

and the ordinances
<04941>_,

and the law
<08451>_,

and the commandment
<04687>_,

which he wrote
<03789> (8804)

for you, ye shall observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

for evermore
<03117>_;

and ye shall not fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:38

And the covenant
<01285>

that I have made
<03772> (8804)

with you ye shall not forget
<07911> (8799)_;

neither shall ye fear
<03372> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

17:39

But the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

ye shall fear
<03372> (8799)_;

and he shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of all your enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

17:40

Howbeit they did not hearken
<08085> (8804)_,

but they did
<06213> (8802)

after their former
<07223>

manner
<04941>_.

17:41

So these nations
<01471>

feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and served
<05647> (8802)

their graven images
<06456>_,

both their children
<01121>_,

and their children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_:

as did
<06213> (8804)

their fathers
<01>_,

so do
<06213> (8802)

they unto this day
<03117>_.

Ezra 4:1-24

4:1

Now when the adversaries
<06862>

of Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that the children
<01121>

of the captivity
<01473>

builded
<01129> (8802)

the temple
<01964>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

{the children...: Heb. the sons of the transportation}

4:2

Then they came
<05066> (8799)

to Zerubbabel
<02216>_,

and to the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Let us build
<01129> (8799)

with you: for we seek
<01875> (8799)

your God
<0430>_,

as ye [do]; and we do sacrifice
<02076> (8802)

unto him since the days
<03117>

of Esarhaddon
<0634>

king
<04428>

of Assur
<0804>_,

which brought us up hither
<05927> (8688)_.

4:3

But Zerubbabel
<02216>_,

and Jeshua
<03442>_,

and the rest
<07605>

of the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>

of Israel
<03478>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

unto our God
<0430>_;

but we ourselves together
<03162>

will build
<01129> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as king
<04428>

Cyrus
<03566>

the king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>

hath commanded
<06680> (8765)

us.

4:4

Then the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

weakened
<07503> (8764)

the hands
<03027>

of the people
<05971>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and troubled
<0926> (8764) (8675) <01089> (8764)

them in building
<01129> (8800)_,

4:5

And hired
<07936> (8802)

counsellors
<03289> (8802)

against them, to frustrate
<06565> (8687)

their purpose
<06098>_,

all the days
<03117>

of Cyrus
<03566>

king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_,

even until the reign
<04438>

of Darius
<01867>

king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_.

4:6

And in the reign
<04438>

of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

in the beginning
<08462>

of his reign
<04438>_,

wrote
<03789> (8804)

they [unto him] an accusation
<07855>

against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{Ahasuerus: Heb. Ahashverosh}

4:7

And in the days
<03117>

of Artaxerxes
<0783>

wrote
<03789> (8804)

Bishlam
<01312>_,

Mithredath
<04990>_,

Tabeel
<02870>_,

and the rest
<07605>

of their companions
<03674>_,

unto Artaxerxes
<0783>

king
<04428>

of Persia
<06539>_;

and the writing
<03791>

of the letter
<05406>

[was] written
<03789> (8803)

in the Syrian tongue
<0762>_,

and interpreted
<08638> (8794)

in the Syrian tongue
<0762>_.

{Bishlam: or, in peace} {companions: Heb. societies}

4:8

Rehum
<07348>

the chancellor
<01169> <02942>

and Shimshai
<08124>

the scribe
<05613>

wrote
<03790> (8754)

a
<02298>

letter
<0104>

against
<05922>

Jerusalem
<03390>

to Artaxerxes
<0783>

the king
<04430>

in this sort
<03660>_:

{scribe: or, secretary}

4:9

Then
<0116>

[wrote] Rehum
<07348>

the chancellor
<01169> <02942>_,

and Shimshai
<08124>

the scribe
<05613>_,

and the rest
<07606>

of their companions
<03675>_;

the Dinaites
<01784>_,

the Apharsathchites
<0671>_,

the Tarpelites
<02967>_,

the Apharsites
<0670>_,

the Archevites
<0756>_,

the Babylonians
<0896>_,

the Susanchites
<07801>_,

the Dehavites
<01723>_,

[and] the Elamites
<05962>_,

{companions: Chaldee, societies}

4:10

And the rest
<07606>

of the nations
<0524>

whom
<01768>

the great
<07229>

and noble
<03358>

Asnappar
<0620>

brought over
<01541> (8684)_,

and set
<03488> (8684) <01994>

in the cities
<07149>

of Samaria
<08115>_,

and the rest
<07606>

[that are] on this side
<05675>

the river
<05103>_,

and at such a time
<03706>_.

{at such...: Chaldee, Cheeneth}

4:11

This
<01836>

[is] the copy
<06573>

of the letter
<0104>

that
<01768>

they sent
<07972> (8754)

unto him
<05922>_,

[even] unto Artaxerxes
<0783>

the king
<04430>_;

Thy servants
<05649>

the men
<0606>

on this side
<05675>

the river
<05103>_,

and at such a time
<03706>_.

4:12

Be it
<01934> (8748)

known
<03046> (8752)

unto the king
<04430>_,

that the Jews
<03062>

which
<01768>

came up
<05559> (8760)

from
<04481>

thee
<03890>

to us
<05922>

are come
<0858> (8754)

unto Jerusalem
<03390>_,

building
<01124> (8750)

the rebellious
<04779>

and the bad
<0873>

city
<07149>_,

and have set up
<03635> (8806) (8675) <03635> (8720)

the walls
<07792>

[thereof], and joined
<02338> (8681)

the foundations
<0787>_.

{set up: or, finished} {joined: Chaldee, sewed together}

4:13

Be it known
<03046> (8752) <01934> (8748)

now
<03705>

unto the king
<04430>_,

that, if
<02006>

this
<01791>

city
<07149>

be builded
<01124> (8731)_,

and the walls
<07792>

set up
<03635> (8720)

[again, then] will they not
<03809>

pay
<05415> (8748)

toll
<04061>_,

tribute
<01093>_,

and custom
<01983>_,

and [so] thou shalt endamage
<05142> (8681)

the revenue
<0674>

of the kings
<04430>_.

{pay: Chaldee, give} {revenue: or, strength}

4:14

Now
<03705>

because
<06903> <03606>

we have
<01768>

maintenance
<04415> (8754) <04416>

from [the king's] palace
<01965>_,

and it was not
<03809>

meet
<0749> (8750)

for us to see
<02370> (8749)

the king's
<04430>

dishonour
<06173>_,

therefore
<05922> <01836>

have we sent
<07972> (8754)

and certified
<03046> (8684)

the king
<04430>_;

{we have...: Chaldee, we are salted with the salt of the palace}

4:15

That search
<01240> (8741)

may be made in the book
<05609>

of the records
<01799>

of thy fathers
<02>_:

so shalt thou find
<07912> (8681)

in the book
<05609>

of the records
<01799>_,

and know
<03046> (8748)

that this
<01791>

city
<07149>

[is] a rebellious
<04779>

city
<07149>_,

and hurtful
<05142> (8683)

unto kings
<04430>

and provinces
<04083>_,

and that they have moved
<05648> (8751)

sedition
<0849>

within the same
<01459>

of
<04481>

old
<05957>

time
<03118>_:

for
<05922>

which
<01836>

cause was this
<01791>

city
<07149>

destroyed
<02718> (8717)_.

{moved: Chaldee, made} {within...: Chaldee, in the midst thereof}

4:16

We
<0586>

certify
<03046> (8683)

the king
<04430>

that, if
<02006>

this
<01791>

city
<07149>

be builded
<01124> (8731)

[again], and the walls
<07792>

thereof set up
<03635> (8720)_,

by this
<01836>

means
<06903>

thou shalt have
<0383>

no
<03809>

portion
<02508>

on this side
<05675>

the river
<05103>_.

4:17

[Then] sent
<07972> (8754)

the king
<04430>

an answer
<06600>

unto
<05922>

Rehum
<07348>

the chancellor
<01169> <02942>_,

and [to] Shimshai
<08124>

the scribe
<05613>_,

and [to] the rest
<07606>

of their companions
<03675>

that dwell
<03488> (8750)

in Samaria
<08115>_,

and [unto] the rest
<07606>

beyond
<05675>

the river
<05103>_,

Peace
<08001>_,

and at such a time
<03706>_.

{companions: Chaldee, societies}

4:18

The letter
<05407>

which ye sent
<07972> (8754)

unto us
<05922>

hath been plainly
<06568> (8744)

read
<07123> (8752)

before
<06925>

me.

4:19

And I
<04481>

commanded
<07761> (8752) <02942>_,

and search
<01240> (8745)

hath been made, and it is found
<07912> (8684)

that this
<01791>

city
<07149>

of
<04481>

old
<05957>

time
<03118>

hath made insurrection
<05376> (8723)

against
<05922>

kings
<04430>_,

and [that] rebellion
<04776>

and sedition
<0849>

have been made
<05648> (8727)

therein. {I commanded: Chaldee, by me a decree is set} {made insurrection: Chaldee, lifted up itself}

4:20

There have been
<01934> (8754)

mighty
<08624>

kings
<04430>

also over
<05922>

Jerusalem
<03390>_,

which have ruled
<07990>

over all
<03606>

[countries] beyond
<05675>

the river
<05103>_;

and toll
<04061>_,

tribute
<01093>_,

and custom
<01983>_,

was paid
<03052> (8727)

unto them.

4:21

Give
<07761> (8747)

ye now
<03705>

commandment
<02942>

to cause
<0989> (0)

these
<0479>

men
<01400>

to cease
<0989> (8749)_,

and that this
<01791>

city
<07149>

be not
<03809>

builded
<01124> (8731)_,

until
<05705>

[another] commandment
<02941>

shall be given
<07761> (8725)

from me
<04481>_.

{Give...: Chaldee, Make a decree}

4:22

Take heed
<01934> (8747) <02095> (8750)

now that ye fail
<07960>

not to do
<05922> <05648> (8749)

this
<01836>_:

why
<04101>

should damage
<02257>

grow
<07680> (8748)

to the hurt
<05142> (8682)

of the kings
<04430>_?

4:23

Now
<0116>

when
<04481> <01768>

the copy
<06573>

of king
<04430>

Artaxerxes
<0783>_'

letter
<05407>

[was] read
<07123> (8752)

before
<06925>

Rehum
<07348>_,

and Shimshai
<08124>

the scribe
<05613>_,

and their companions
<03675>_,

they went up
<0236> (8754)

in haste
<0924>

to Jerusalem
<03390>

unto
<05922>

the Jews
<03062>_,

and made them
<01994>

to cease
<0989> (8754)

by force
<0153>

and power
<02429>_.

{by force...: Chaldee, by arm and power}

4:24

Then
<0116>

ceased
<0989> (8754)

the work
<05673>

of the house
<01005>

of God
<0426>

which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_.

So it ceased
<01934> (8754) <0989> (8750)

unto
<05705>

the second
<08648>

year
<08140>

of the reign
<04437>

of Darius
<01868>

king
<04430>

of Persia
<06540>_.

Nehemiah 4:1-2

4:1

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat
<05571>

heard
<08085> (8804)

that we builded
<01129> (8802)

the wall
<02346>_,

he was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

and took great
<07235> (8687)

indignation
<03707> (8799)_,

and mocked
<03932> (8686)

the Jews
<03064>_.

4:2

And he spake
<0559> (8799)

before
<06440>

his brethren
<0251>

and the army
<02428>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What do
<06213> (8802)

these feeble
<0537>

Jews
<03064>_?

will they fortify
<05800> (8799)

themselves? will they sacrifice
<02076> (8799)_?

will they make an end
<03615> (8762)

in a day
<03117>_?

will they revive
<02421> (8762)

the stones
<068>

out of the heaps
<06194>

of the rubbish
<06083>

which are burned
<08313> (8803)_?

{fortify...: Heb. leave to themselves}

Luke 9:52-56

9:52

And
<2532>

sent
<649> (5656)

messengers
<32>

before
<4253>

his
<846>

face
<4383>_:

and
<2532>

they went
<4198> (5679)_,

and entered
<1525> (5627)

into
<1519>

a village
<2968>

of the Samaritans
<4541>_,

to
<5620>

make ready
<2090> (5658)

for him
<846>_.

9:53

And
<2532>

they did
<1209> (0)

not
<3756>

receive
<1209> (5662)

him
<846>_,

because
<3754>

his
<846>

face
<4383>

was
<2258> (5713)

as though he would go
<4198> (5740)

to
<1519>

Jerusalem
<2419>_.

9:54

And
<1161>

when his
<846>

disciples
<3101>

James
<2385>

and
<2532>

John
<2491>

saw
<1492> (5631)

[this], they said
<2036> (5627)_,

Lord
<2962>_,

wilt thou
<2309> (5719)

that we command
<2036> (5632)

fire
<4442>

to come down
<2597> (5629)

from
<575>

heaven
<3772>_,

and
<2532>

consume
<355> (5658)

them
<846>_,

even
<2532>

as
<5613>

Elias
<2243>

did
<4160> (5656)_?

9:55

But
<1161>

he turned
<4762> (5651)_,

and rebuked
<2008> (5656)

them
<846>_,

and
<2532>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Ye know
<1492> (5758)

not
<3756>

what manner
<3634>

of spirit
<4151>

ye
<5210>

are of
<2075> (5748)_.

9:56

For
<1063>

the Son
<5207>

of man
<444>

is
<2064> (0)

not
<3756>

come
<2064> (5627)

to destroy
<622> (5658)

men's
<444>

lives
<5590>_,

but
<235>

to save
<4982> (5658)

[them]. And
<2532>

they went
<4198> (5675)

to
<1519>

another
<2087>

village
<2968>_.

Acts 1:8

1:8

But
<235>

ye shall receive
<2983> (5695)

power
<1411>_,

after that the Holy
<40>

Ghost
<4151>

is come
<1904> (5631)

upon
<1909>

you
<5209>_:

and
<2532>

ye shall be
<2071> (5704)

witnesses
<3144>

unto me
<3427>

both
<5037>

in
<1722>

Jerusalem
<2419>_,

and
<2532>

in
<1722>

all
<3956>

Judaea
<2449>_,

and
<2532>

in Samaria
<4540>_,

and
<2532>

unto
<2193>

the uttermost part
<2078>

of the earth
<1093>_.

{power...: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you}

Acts 10:28

10:28

And
<5037>

he said
<5346> (5713)

unto
<4314>

them
<846>_,

Ye
<5210>

know
<1987> (5736)

how
<5613>

that it is
<2076> (5748)

an unlawful thing
<111>

for a man
<435>

that is a Jew
<2453>

to keep company
<2853> (5745)_,

or
<2228>

come unto
<4334> (5738)

one of another nation
<246>_;

but
<2532>

God
<2316>

hath shewed
<1166> (5656)

me
<1698>

that I should not
<3367> (0)

call
<3004> (5721)

any
<3367>

man
<444>

common
<2839>

or
<2228>

unclean
