1 Kings 1:12; 1 Kings 1:13; 1 Kings 1:38; 1 Kings 1:49; 1 Kings 1:50; 1 Kings 1:53; 1 Kings 2:3; 1 Kings 2:4; 1 Kings 2:8; 1 Kings 2:26; 1 Kings 2:29; 1 Kings 2:40; 1 Kings 3:3; 1 Kings 3:4; 1 Kings 3:14; 1 Kings 6:12; 1 Kings 8:25; 1 Kings 8:36; 1 Kings 8:58; 1 Kings 8:61; 1 Kings 8:66; 1 Kings 9:4; 1 Kings 10:13; 1 Kings 11:5; 1 Kings 11:10; 1 Kings 11:21; 1 Kings 11:22; 1 Kings 11:24; 1 Kings 12:1; 1 Kings 12:5; 1 Kings 12:16; 1 Kings 12:24; 1 Kings 12:30; 1 Kings 13:10; 1 Kings 13:14; 1 Kings 13:15; 1 Kings 13:17; 1 Kings 13:24; 1 Kings 13:28; 1 Kings 14:4; 1 Kings 14:7; 1 Kings 14:9; 1 Kings 14:12; 1 Kings 14:17; 1 Kings 15:3; 1 Kings 15:19; 1 Kings 15:26; 1 Kings 15:34; 1 Kings 16:2; 1 Kings 16:19; 1 Kings 16:26; 1 Kings 16:31; 1 Kings 17:3; 1 Kings 17:5; 1 Kings 17:9; 1 Kings 17:10; 1 Kings 17:11; 1 Kings 17:15; 1 Kings 18:1; 1 Kings 18:2; 1 Kings 18:5; 1 Kings 18:8; 1 Kings 18:11; 1 Kings 18:12; 1 Kings 18:14; 1 Kings 18:16; 1 Kings 18:18; 1 Kings 18:21; 1 Kings 18:45; 1 Kings 19:3; 1 Kings 19:8; 1 Kings 19:15; 1 Kings 19:19; 1 Kings 19:20; 1 Kings 19:21; 1 Kings 20:9; 1 Kings 20:22; 1 Kings 20:27; 1 Kings 20:36; 1 Kings 20:38; 1 Kings 20:43; 1 Kings 21:26; 1 Kings 22:4; 1 Kings 22:6; 1 Kings 22:15; 1 Kings 22:43; 1 Kings 22:48; 1 Kings 22:49; 1 Kings 22:52

1 Kings 1:12

12 Now then, let me advise you how you can save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.

1 Kings 1:13

13 Go in to King David and say to him, ‘My lord the king, did you not swear to me your servant: “Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne”? Why then has Adonijah become king?’

1 Kings 1:38

38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, the Kerethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon mount King David’s mule, and they escorted him to Gihon.

1 Kings 1:49

49 At this, all Adonijah’s guests rose in alarm and dispersed.

1 Kings 1:50

50 But Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.

1 Kings 1:53

53 Then King Solomon sent men, and they brought him down from the altar. And Adonijah came and bowed down to King Solomon, and Solomon said, “Go to your home.”

1 Kings 2:3

3 and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go

1 Kings 2:4

4 and that the LORD may keep his promise to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’

1 Kings 2:8

8 “And remember, you have with you Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who called down bitter curses on me the day I went to Mahanaim. When he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will not put you to death by the sword.’

1 Kings 2:26

26 To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go back to your fields in Anathoth. You deserve to die, but I will not put you to death now, because you carried the ark of the Sovereign LORD before my father David and shared all my father’s hardships.”

1 Kings 2:29

29 King Solomon was told that Joab had fled to the tent of the LORD and was beside the altar. Then Solomon ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada, “Go, strike him down!”

1 Kings 2:40

40 At this, he saddled his donkey and went to Achish at Gath in search of his slaves. So Shimei went away and brought the slaves back from Gath.

1 Kings 3:3

3 Solomon showed his love for the LORD by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.

1 Kings 3:4

4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

1 Kings 3:14

14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”

1 Kings 6:12

12 “As for this temple you are building, if you follow my decrees, observe my laws and keep all my commands and obey them, I will fulfill through you the promise I gave to David your father.

1 Kings 8:25

25 “Now LORD, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me faithfully as you have done.’

1 Kings 8:36

36 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land you gave your people for an inheritance.

1 Kings 8:58

58 May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in obedience to him and keep the commands, decrees and laws he gave our ancestors.

1 Kings 8:61

61 And may your hearts be fully committed to the LORD our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.”

1 Kings 8:66

66 On the following day he sent the people away. They blessed the king and then went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things the LORD had done for his servant David and his people Israel.

1 Kings 9:4

4 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws,

1 Kings 10:13

13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for, besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.

1 Kings 11:5

5 He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites.

1 Kings 11:10

10 Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.

1 Kings 11:21

21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was also dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”

1 Kings 11:22

22 “What have you lacked here that you want to go back to your own country?” Pharaoh asked. “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but do let me go!”

1 Kings 11:24

24 When David destroyed Zobah’s army, Rezon gathered a band of men around him and became their leader; they went to Damascus, where they settled and took control.

1 Kings 12:1

1 Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.

1 Kings 12:5

5 Rehoboam answered, “Go away for three days and then come back to me.” So the people went away.

1 Kings 12:16

16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What share do we have in David, what part in Jesse’s son? To your tents, Israel! Look after your own house, David!” So the Israelites went home.

1 Kings 12:24

24 ‘This is what the LORD says: Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’ ” So they obeyed the word of the LORD and went home again, as the LORD had ordered.

1 Kings 12:30

30 And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.

1 Kings 13:10

10 So he took another road and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.

1 Kings 13:14

14 and rode after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.

1 Kings 13:15

15 So the prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat.”

1 Kings 13:17

17 I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’ ”

1 Kings 13:24

24 As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying on the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it.

1 Kings 13:28

28 Then he went out and found the body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had neither eaten the body nor mauled the donkey.

1 Kings 14:4

4 So Jeroboam’s wife did what he said and went to Ahijah’s house in Shiloh. Now Ahijah could not see; his sight was gone because of his age.

1 Kings 14:7

7 Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over my people Israel.

1 Kings 14:9

9 You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made for yourself other gods, idols made of metal; you have aroused my anger and turned your back on me.

1 Kings 14:12

12 “As for you, go back home. When you set foot in your city, the boy will die.

1 Kings 14:17

17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and left and went to Tirzah. As soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.

1 Kings 15:3

3 He committed all the sins his father had done before him; his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his forefather had been.

1 Kings 15:19

19 “Let there be a treaty between me and you,” he said, “as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you a gift of silver and gold. Now break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so he will withdraw from me.”

1 Kings 15:26

26 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the ways of his father and committing the same sin his father had caused Israel to commit.

1 Kings 15:34

34 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

1 Kings 16:2

2 “I lifted you up from the dust and appointed you ruler over my people Israel, but you followed the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to arouse my anger by their sins.

1 Kings 16:19

19 because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the eyes of the LORD and following the ways of Jeroboam and committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.

1 Kings 16:26

26 He followed completely the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, committing the same sin Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, so that they aroused the anger of the LORD, the God of Israel, by their worthless idols.

1 Kings 16:31

31 He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.

1 Kings 17:3

3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.

1 Kings 17:5

5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.

1 Kings 17:9

9 “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.”

1 Kings 17:10

10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?”

1 Kings 17:11

11 As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.”

1 Kings 17:15

15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family.

1 Kings 18:1

1 After a long time, in the third year, the word of the LORD came to Elijah: “Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.”

1 Kings 18:2

2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria,

1 Kings 18:5

5 Ahab had said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals.”

1 Kings 18:8

8 “Yes,” he replied. “Go tell your master, ‘Elijah is here.’ ”

1 Kings 18:11

11 But now you tell me to go to my master and say, ‘Elijah is here.’

1 Kings 18:12

12 I don’t know where the Spirit of the LORD may carry you when I leave you. If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn’t find you, he will kill me. Yet I your servant have worshiped the LORD since my youth.

1 Kings 18:14

14 And now you tell me to go to my master and say, ‘Elijah is here.’ He will kill me!”

1 Kings 18:16

16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

1 Kings 18:18

18 “I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You have abandoned the LORD’s commands and have followed the Baals.

1 Kings 18:21

21 Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But the people said nothing.

1 Kings 18:45

45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.

1 Kings 19:3

3 Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,

1 Kings 19:8

8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.

1 Kings 19:15

15 The LORD said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram.

1 Kings 19:19

19 So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.

1 Kings 19:20

20 Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. “Let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,” he said, “and then I will come with you.” “Go back,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”

1 Kings 19:21

21 So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.

1 Kings 20:9

9 So he replied to Ben-Hadad’s messengers, “Tell my lord the king, ‘Your servant will do all you demanded the first time, but this demand I cannot meet.’ ” They left and took the answer back to Ben-Hadad.

1 Kings 20:22

22 Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, “Strengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.”

1 Kings 20:27

27 When the Israelites were also mustered and given provisions, they marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped opposite them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.

1 Kings 20:36

36 So the prophet said, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD, as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you.” And after the man went away, a lion found him and killed him.

1 Kings 20:38

38 Then the prophet went and stood by the road waiting for the king. He disguised himself with his headband down over his eyes.

1 Kings 20:43

43 Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went to his palace in Samaria.

1 Kings 21:26

26 He behaved in the vilest manner by going after idols, like the Amorites the LORD drove out before Israel.)

1 Kings 22:4

4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”

1 Kings 22:6

6 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets—about four hundred men—and asked them, “Shall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?” “Go,” they answered, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.”

1 Kings 22:15

15 When he arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or not?” “Attack and be victorious,” he answered, “for the LORD will give it into the king’s hand.”

1 Kings 22:43

43 In everything he followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.

1 Kings 22:48

48 Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail—they were wrecked at Ezion Geber.

1 Kings 22:49

49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with yours,” but Jehoshaphat refused.

1 Kings 22:52

52 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, because he followed the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
