| 1: Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that
the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us
against the Canaanites first, to fight against them? |
| |
| 2: And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered
the land into his hand. |
| |
| 3:
And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into
my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go
with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. |
| |
| 4: And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and
the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten
thousand men. |
| |
| 5: And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against
him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites. |
| |
| 6: But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught
him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. |
| |
| 7:
:And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their
thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table:
as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to
Jerusalem, and there he died. |
| |
| 8: Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and
had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the
city on fire. |
| |
| 9: And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against
the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the
valley. |
| |
| 10: And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron:
(now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai,
and Ahiman, and Talmai. |
| |
| 11: And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and
the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher: |
| |
| 12: And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh
it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. |
| |
| 13: And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took
it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. |
| |
| 14: And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him
to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and
Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou? |
| |
| 15: And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast
given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her
the upper springs and the nether springs. |
| |
| 16: And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up
out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the
wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and
dwelt among the people. |
| |
| 17: And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the
Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the
name of the city was called Hormah. |
| |
| 18: Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with
the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof. |
| |
| 19: And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants
of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley,
because they had chariots of iron. |
| |
| 20: And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he
expelled thence the three sons of Anak. |
| |
| 21: And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites
that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of
Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. |
| |
| 22: And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel:
and the LORD was with them. |
| |
| 23: And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name
of the city before was Luz.) |
| |
| 24: And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they
said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we
will shew thee mercy. |
| |
| 25: And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they
smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and
all his family. |
| |
| 26: And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a
city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto
this day. |
| |
| 27: Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean
and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and
her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the
inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in
that land. |
| |
| 28: And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put
the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out. |
| |
| 29: Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in
Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. |
| |
| 30: Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor
the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and
became tributaries. |
| |
| 31: Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the
inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of
Aphik, nor of Rehob: |
| |
| 32: But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants
of the land: for they did not drive them out. |
| |
| 33: Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh,
nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites,
the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh
and of Beth-anath became tributaries unto them. |
| |
| 34: And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the
mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
|
| |
| 35: But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and
in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they
became tributaries. |
| |
| 36: And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to
Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward. |
| 1:And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim,
and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto
the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break
my covenant with you. |
| |
| 2: And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land;
ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why
have ye done this? |
| |
| 3:
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before
you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be
a snare unto you. |
| |
| 4: And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these
words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their
voice, and wept. |
| |
| 5: And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they
sacrificed there unto the LORD. |
| |
| 6: And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel
went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land. |
| |
| 7:
:And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all
the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great
works of the LORD, that he did for Israel. |
| |
| 8: And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died,
being an hundred and ten years old. |
| |
| 9: And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in
Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill
Gaash. |
| 29: And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the
trees; |
| |
| 30: When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that
summer is now nigh at hand. |
| |
| 31: So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that
the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. |
| |
| 32: Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all
be fulfilled. |
| |
| 33: Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
|
| |
| 34: And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so
that day come upon you unawares. |
| |
| 35: For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of
the whole earth. |
| |
| 36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son
of man. |
| |
| 37: And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he
went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. |
| |
| 38: And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple,
for to hear him. |
| 1:Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called
the Passover. |
| |
| 2: And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for
they feared the people. |
| |
| 3:
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number
of the twelve. |
| |
| 4: And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains,
how he might betray him unto them. |
| |
| 5: And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
|
| |
| 6: And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the
absence of the multitude. |
| |
| 7:
:Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be
killed. |
| |
| 8: And he sent Peter and John, saying,
Go and prepare us the passover,
that we may eat. |
| |
| 9: And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
|
| |
| 10: And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city,
there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the
house where he entereth in. |
| |
| 11: And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto
thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my
disciples? |
| |
| 12: And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
|
| |
| 13: And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made
ready the passover. |
| 1:LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all
generations. |
| |
| 2: Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting,
thou art God. |
| |
| 3:
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye
children of men. |
| |
| 4: For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it
is past, and as a watch in the night. |
| |
| 5: Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep:
in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. |
| |
| 6: In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening
it is cut down, and withereth. |
| |
| 7:
:For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled. |
| |
| 8: Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in
the light of thy countenance. |
| |
| 9: For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our
years as a tale that is told. |
| |
| 10: The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by
reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour
and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. |
| |
| 11: Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy
fear, so is thy wrath. |
| |
| 12: So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom. |
| |
| 13: Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning
thy servants. |
| |
| 14: O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be
glad all our days. |
| |
| 15: Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast
afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. |
| |
| 16: Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto
their children. |
| |
| 17: And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and
establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands
establish thou it. |
| 1:He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. |
| |
| 2: I will say of the LORD, He is my
refuge and my fortress: my
God; in him will I trust. |
| |
| 3:
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and
from the noisome pestilence. |
| |
| 4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings
shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. |
| |
| 5: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the
arrow that flieth by day; |
| |
| 6: Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday. |
| |
| 7:A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. |
| |
| 8: Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of
the wicked. |
| |
| 9: Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the
most High, thy habitation; |
| |
| 10: There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague
come nigh thy dwelling. |
| |
| 11: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee
in all thy ways. |
| |
| 12: They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy
foot against a stone. |
| |
| 13: Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and
the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. |
| |
| 14: Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I
deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
|
| |
| 15: He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with
him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. |
| |
| 16: With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. |
