1 Kings 1:2; 1 Kings 1:5; 1 Kings 1:6; 1 Kings 1:11; 1 Kings 1:13; 1 Kings 1:16; 1 Kings 1:17; 1 Kings 1:23; 1 Kings 1:24; 1 Kings 1:25; 1 Kings 1:28; 1 Kings 1:29; 1 Kings 1:30; 1 Kings 1:31; 1 Kings 1:32; 1 Kings 1:33; 1 Kings 1:34; 1 Kings 1:36; 1 Kings 1:39; 1 Kings 1:41; 1 Kings 1:42; 1 Kings 1:47; 1 Kings 1:48; 1 Kings 1:51; 1 Kings 1:52; 1 Kings 1:53; 1 Kings 2:1; 1 Kings 2:4; 1 Kings 2:8; 1 Kings 2:13; 1 Kings 2:14; 1 Kings 2:15; 1 Kings 2:16; 1 Kings 2:17; 1 Kings 2:18; 1 Kings 2:20; 1 Kings 2:21; 1 Kings 2:22; 1 Kings 2:23; 1 Kings 2:26; 1 Kings 2:29; 1 Kings 2:30; 1 Kings 2:31; 1 Kings 2:36; 1 Kings 2:38; 1 Kings 2:39; 1 Kings 2:42; 1 Kings 2:44; 1 Kings 3:5; 1 Kings 3:6; 1 Kings 3:11; 1 Kings 3:17; 1 Kings 3:22; 1 Kings 3:23; 1 Kings 3:24; 1 Kings 3:25; 1 Kings 3:26; 1 Kings 3:27; 1 Kings 5:2; 1 Kings 5:5; 1 Kings 5:6; 1 Kings 5:7; 1 Kings 5:8; 1 Kings 6:11; 1 Kings 8:12; 1 Kings 8:15; 1 Kings 8:18; 1 Kings 8:23; 1 Kings 8:25; 1 Kings 8:29; 1 Kings 8:47; 1 Kings 8:55; 1 Kings 9:3; 1 Kings 9:5; 1 Kings 9:8; 1 Kings 9:9; 1 Kings 9:13; 1 Kings 10:6; 1 Kings 11:2; 1 Kings 11:11; 1 Kings 11:18; 1 Kings 11:21; 1 Kings 11:22; 1 Kings 11:31; 1 Kings 12:3; 1 Kings 12:5; 1 Kings 12:6; 1 Kings 12:7; 1 Kings 12:9; 1 Kings 12:10; 1 Kings 12:12; 1 Kings 12:14; 1 Kings 12:16; 1 Kings 12:22; 1 Kings 12:23; 1 Kings 12:24; 1 Kings 12:26; 1 Kings 12:28; 1 Kings 13:2; 1 Kings 13:3; 1 Kings 13:4; 1 Kings 13:6; 1 Kings 13:8; 1 Kings 13:9; 1 Kings 13:13; 1 Kings 13:14; 1 Kings 13:15; 1 Kings 13:16; 1 Kings 13:18; 1 Kings 13:21; 1 Kings 13:26; 1 Kings 13:27; 1 Kings 13:31; 1 Kings 14:2; 1 Kings 14:5; 1 Kings 14:6; 1 Kings 14:7; 1 Kings 15:18; 1 Kings 16:1; 1 Kings 16:16; 1 Kings 17:1; 1 Kings 17:2; 1 Kings 17:8; 1 Kings 17:10; 1 Kings 17:11; 1 Kings 17:12; 1 Kings 17:13; 1 Kings 17:14; 1 Kings 17:18; 1 Kings 17:19; 1 Kings 17:20; 1 Kings 17:21; 1 Kings 17:23; 1 Kings 17:24; 1 Kings 18:1; 1 Kings 18:5; 1 Kings 18:7; 1 Kings 18:8; 1 Kings 18:9; 1 Kings 18:10; 1 Kings 18:11; 1 Kings 18:14; 1 Kings 18:15; 1 Kings 18:17; 1 Kings 18:18; 1 Kings 18:21; 1 Kings 18:22; 1 Kings 18:24; 1 Kings 18:25; 1 Kings 18:26; 1 Kings 18:27; 1 Kings 18:30; 1 Kings 18:31; 1 Kings 18:34; 1 Kings 18:36; 1 Kings 18:39; 1 Kings 18:40; 1 Kings 18:41; 1 Kings 18:43; 1 Kings 18:44; 1 Kings 19:2; 1 Kings 19:4; 1 Kings 19:5; 1 Kings 19:7; 1 Kings 19:9; 1 Kings 19:10; 1 Kings 19:11; 1 Kings 19:13; 1 Kings 19:14; 1 Kings 19:15; 1 Kings 19:20; 1 Kings 20:2; 1 Kings 20:5; 1 Kings 20:7; 1 Kings 20:8; 1 Kings 20:9; 1 Kings 20:10; 1 Kings 20:12; 1 Kings 20:13; 1 Kings 20:14; 1 Kings 20:17; 1 Kings 20:18; 1 Kings 20:22; 1 Kings 20:23; 1 Kings 20:28; 1 Kings 20:31; 1 Kings 20:32; 1 Kings 20:33; 1 Kings 20:34; 1 Kings 20:35; 1 Kings 20:36; 1 Kings 20:37; 1 Kings 20:39; 1 Kings 20:40; 1 Kings 20:42; 1 Kings 21:2; 1 Kings 21:3; 1 Kings 21:4; 1 Kings 21:6; 1 Kings 21:7; 1 Kings 21:9; 1 Kings 21:10; 1 Kings 21:13; 1 Kings 21:14; 1 Kings 21:15; 1 Kings 21:17; 1 Kings 21:19; 1 Kings 21:20; 1 Kings 21:23; 1 Kings 21:28; 1 Kings 22:3; 1 Kings 22:4; 1 Kings 22:5; 1 Kings 22:6; 1 Kings 22:7; 1 Kings 22:8; 1 Kings 22:9; 1 Kings 22:11; 1 Kings 22:12; 1 Kings 22:13; 1 Kings 22:14; 1 Kings 22:15; 1 Kings 22:16; 1 Kings 22:17; 1 Kings 22:18; 1 Kings 22:19; 1 Kings 22:20; 1 Kings 22:21; 1 Kings 22:22; 1 Kings 22:24; 1 Kings 22:25; 1 Kings 22:26; 1 Kings 22:27; 1 Kings 22:28; 1 Kings 22:30; 1 Kings 22:31; 1 Kings 22:32; 1 Kings 22:34; 1 Kings 22:36; 1 Kings 22:49

1 Kings 1:2

2 So his servants said to him, "Let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her attend the king and become his nurse; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."

1 Kings 1:5

5 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen with fifty men to run before him.

1 Kings 1:6

6 His father had never crossed him at any time by asking, "Why have you done so?" And he was also a very handsome man, and he was born after Absalom.

1 Kings 1:11

11 Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it?

1 Kings 1:13

13 "Go at once to King David and say to him, 'Have you not, my lord , O king, sworn to your maidservant, saying, "Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne "? Why then has Adonijah become king?'

1 Kings 1:16

16 Then Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself before the king. And the king said, "What do you wish?"

1 Kings 1:17

17 She said to him, "My lord , you swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God, saying, 'Surely your son Solomon shall be king after me and he shall sit on my throne.'

1 Kings 1:23

23 They told the king, saying, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground.

1 Kings 1:24

24 Then Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne '?

1 Kings 1:25

25 "For he has gone down today and has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons and the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest, and behold, they are eating and drinking before him; and they say, 'Long live King Adonijah!'

1 Kings 1:28

28 Then King David said, "Call Bathsheba to me." And she came into the king's presence and stood before the king.

1 Kings 1:29

29 The king vowed and said, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,

1 Kings 1:30

30 surely as I vowed to you by the LORD the God of Israel, saying, 'Your son Solomon shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place '; I will indeed do so this day."

1 Kings 1:31

31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, and prostrated herself before the king and said, "May my lord King David live forever."

1 Kings 1:32

32 Then King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." And they came into the king's presence.

1 Kings 1:33

33 The king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord , and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.

1 Kings 1:34

34 "Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel, and blow the trumpet and say, 'Long live King Solomon!'

1 Kings 1:36

36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! Thus may the LORD , the God of my lord the king, say.

1 Kings 1:39

39 Zadok the priest then took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, "Long live King Solomon!"

1 Kings 1:41

41 Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is the city making such an uproar?"

1 Kings 1:42

42 While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Then Adonijah said, "Come in, for you are a valiant man and bring good news."

1 Kings 1:47

47 "Moreover, the king's servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!' And the king bowed himself on the bed.

1 Kings 1:48

48 "The king has also said thus, 'Blessed be the LORD , the God of Israel, who has granted one to sit on my throne today while my own eyes see it."'

1 Kings 1:51

51 Now it was told Solomon, saying, "Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.' "

1 Kings 1:52

52 Solomon said, "If he is a worthy man, not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he will die."

1 Kings 1:53

53 So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and prostrated himself before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

1 Kings 2:1

1 As David's time to die drew near, he charged Solomon his son, saying,

1 Kings 2:4

4 so that the LORD may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, 'If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'

1 Kings 2:8

8 "Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD , saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'

1 Kings 2:13

13 Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, "Do you come peacefully?" And he said, "Peacefully."

1 Kings 2:14

14 Then he said, "I have something to say to you." And she said, "Speak."

1 Kings 2:15

15 So he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD .

1 Kings 2:16

16 "Now I am making one request of you; do not refuse me." And she said to him, "Speak."

1 Kings 2:17

17 Then he said, "Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife."

1 Kings 2:18

18 Bathsheba said, "Very well; I will speak to the king for you."

1 Kings 2:20

20 Then she said, "I am making one small request of you; do not refuse me." And the king said to her, "Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you."

1 Kings 2:21

21 So she said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as a wife."

1 Kings 2:22

22 King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "And why are you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him also the kingdom -for he is my older brother -even for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah!"

1 Kings 2:23

23 Then King Solomon swore by the LORD , saying, "May God do so to me and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.

1 Kings 2:26

26 Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted."

1 Kings 2:29

29 It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of the LORD , and behold, he is beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, "Go, fall upon him."

1 Kings 2:30

30 So Benaiah came to the tent of the LORD and said to him, "Thus the king has said, 'Come out.' " But he said, "No, for I will die here." And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus spoke Joab, and thus he answered me."

1 Kings 2:31

31 The king said to him, "Do as he has spoken and fall upon him and bury him, that you may remove from me and from my father's house the blood which Joab shed without cause.

1 Kings 2:36

36 Now the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Build for yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go out from there to any place.

1 Kings 2:38

38 Shimei then said to the king, "The word is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.

1 Kings 2:39

39 But it came about at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Behold, your servants are in Gath."

1 Kings 2:42

42 So the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD and solemnly warn you, saying, 'You will know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere, you shall surely die '? And you said to me, 'The word which I have heard is good.'

1 Kings 2:44

44 The king also said to Shimei, "You know all the evil which you acknowledge in your heart, which you did to my father David; therefore the LORD shall return your evil on your own head.

1 Kings 3:5

5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, "Ask what you wish me to give you."

1 Kings 3:6

6 Then Solomon said, "You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

1 Kings 3:11

11 God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice,

1 Kings 3:17

17 The one woman said, "Oh, my lord , this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.

1 Kings 3:22

22 Then the other woman said, "No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." But the first woman said, "No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.

1 Kings 3:23

23 Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one'; and the other says, 'No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.' "

1 Kings 3:24

24 The king said, "Get me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king.

1 Kings 3:25

25 The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other."

1 Kings 3:26

26 Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son and said, "Oh, my lord , give her the living child, and by no means kill him." But the other said, "He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him!"

1 Kings 3:27

27 Then the king said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother."

1 Kings 5:2

2 Then Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,

1 Kings 5:5

5 "Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.'

1 Kings 5:6

6 "Now therefore, command that they cut for me cedars from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."

1 Kings 5:7

7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, "Blessed be the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."

1 Kings 5:8

8 So Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent me; I will do what you desire concerning the cedar and cypress timber.

1 Kings 6:11

11 Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon saying,

1 Kings 8:12

12 Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

1 Kings 8:15

15 He said, "Blessed be the LORD , the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David and has fulfilled it with His hand, saying,

1 Kings 8:18

18 "But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

1 Kings 8:23

23 He said, "O LORD , the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth beneath , keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart,

1 Kings 8:25

25 "Now therefore, O LORD , the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David my father that which You have promised him, saying, 'You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way to walk before Me as you have walked.'

1 Kings 8:29

29 that Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, 'My name shall be there,' to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place.

1 Kings 8:47

47 if they take thought in the land where they have been taken captive, and repent and make supplication to You in the land of those who have taken them captive, saying, 'We have sinned and have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly ';

1 Kings 8:55

55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

1 Kings 9:3

3 The LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting My name there forever , and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually .

1 Kings 9:5

5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised to your father David, saying, 'You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'

1 Kings 9:8

8 "And this house will become a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by will be astonished and hiss and say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?'

1 Kings 9:9

9 "And they will say, 'Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them, therefore the LORD has brought all this adversity on them.' "

1 Kings 9:13

13 He said, "What are these cities which you have given me, my brother?" So they were called the land of Cabul to this day.

1 Kings 10:6

6 Then she said to the king, "It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

1 Kings 11:2

2 from the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, "You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods." Solomon held fast to these in love.

1 Kings 11:11

11 So the LORD said to Solomon, "Because you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

1 Kings 11:18

18 They arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and assigned him food and gave him land.

1 Kings 11:21

21 But when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Send me away, that I may go to my own country."

1 Kings 11:22

22 Then Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you are seeking to go to your own country?" And he answered, "Nothing; nevertheless you must surely let me go."

1 Kings 11:31

31 He said to Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces; for thus says the LORD , the God of Israel, 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and give you ten tribes

1 Kings 12:3

3 Then they sent and called him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

1 Kings 12:5

5 Then he said to them, "Depart for three days, then return to me." So the people departed.

1 Kings 12:6

6 King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?"

1 Kings 12:7

7 Then they spoke to him, saying, "If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and grant them their petition, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever ."

1 Kings 12:9

9 So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

1 Kings 12:10

10 The young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall say to this people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, now you make it lighter for us!' But you shall speak to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's loins!

1 Kings 12:12

12 Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had directed, saying, "Return to me on the third day."

1 Kings 12:14

14 and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions."

1 Kings 12:16

16 When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; To your tents, O Israel! Now look after your own house, David!" So Israel departed to their tents.

1 Kings 12:22

22 But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

1 Kings 12:23

23 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin and to the rest of the people, saying,

1 Kings 12:24

24 'Thus says the LORD , "You must not go up and fight against your relatives the sons of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing has come from Me.""' So they listened to the word of the LORD , and returned and went their way according to the word of the LORD .

1 Kings 12:26

26 Jeroboam said in his heart, "Now the kingdom will return to the house of David.

1 Kings 12:28

28 So the king consulted, and made two golden calves, and he said to them, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt."

1 Kings 13:2

2 He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD , and said, "O altar, altar, thus says the LORD , 'Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.' "

1 Kings 13:3

3 Then he gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which the LORD has spoken, 'Behold, the altar shall be split apart and the ashes which are on it shall be poured out.' "

1 Kings 13:4

4 Now when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." But his hand which he stretched out against him dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.

1 Kings 13:6

6 The king said to the man of God, "Please entreat the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." So the man of God entreated the LORD , and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.

1 Kings 13:8

8 But the man of God said to the king, "If you were to give me half your house I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.

1 Kings 13:9

9 "For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD , saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way which you came.' "

1 Kings 13:13

13 Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it.

1 Kings 13:14

14 So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" And he said, "I am."

1 Kings 13:15

15 Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread."

1 Kings 13:16

16 He said, "I cannot return with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.

1 Kings 13:18

18 He said to him, "I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD , saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.' " But he lied to him.

1 Kings 13:21

21 and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD , 'Because you have disobeyed the command of the LORD , and have not observed the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,

1 Kings 13:26

26 Now when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard it, he said, "It is the man of God, who disobeyed the command of the LORD ; therefore the LORD has given him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to him."

1 Kings 13:27

27 Then he spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." And they saddled it.

1 Kings 13:31

31 After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

1 Kings 14:2

2 Jeroboam said to his wife, "Arise now, and disguise yourself so that they will not know that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who spoke concerning me that I would be king over this people.

1 Kings 14:5

5 Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. You shall say thus and thus to her, for it will be when she arrives that she will pretend to be another woman."

1 Kings 14:6

6 When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet coming in the doorway, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why do you pretend to be another woman? For I am sent to you with a harsh message.

1 Kings 14:7

7 "Go, say to Jeroboam, 'Thus says the LORD God of Israel, "Because I exalted you from among the people and made you leader over My people Israel,

1 Kings 15:18

18 Then Asa took all the silver and the gold which were left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying,

1 Kings 16:1

1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

1 Kings 16:16

16 The people who were camped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired and has also struck down the king." Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

1 Kings 17:1

1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD , the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word."

1 Kings 17:2

2 The word of the LORD came to him, saying,

1 Kings 17:8

8 Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

1 Kings 17:10

10 So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink."

1 Kings 17:11

11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."

1 Kings 17:12

12 But she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."

1 Kings 17:13

13 Then Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.

1 Kings 17:14

14 "For thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'The bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the face of the earth.' "

1 Kings 17:18

18 So she said to Elijah, "What do I have to do with you, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my iniquity to remembrance and to put my son to death!"

1 Kings 17:19

19 He said to her, "Give me your son." Then he took him from her bosom and carried him up to the upper room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.

1 Kings 17:20

20 He called to the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, have You also brought calamity to the widow with whom I am staying, by causing her son to die?"

1 Kings 17:21

21 Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called to the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, I pray You, let this child's life return to him."

1 Kings 17:23

23 Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, "See, your son is alive."

1 Kings 17:24

24 Then the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth."

1 Kings 18:1

1 Now it happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, "Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the face of the earth."

1 Kings 18:5

5 Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle."

1 Kings 18:7

7 Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is this you, Elijah my master?"

1 Kings 18:8

8 He said to him, "It is I. Go, say to your master, 'Behold, Elijah is here."'

1 Kings 18:9

9 He said, "What sin have I committed, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to put me to death?

1 Kings 18:10

10 "As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent to search for you; and when they said, 'He is not here,' he made the kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you.

1 Kings 18:11

11 "And now you are saying, 'Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here."'

1 Kings 18:14

14 "And now you are saying, 'Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here"'; he will then kill me."

1 Kings 18:15

15 Elijah said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today."

1 Kings 18:17

17 When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is this you, you troubler of Israel?"

1 Kings 18:18

18 He said, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, because you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and you have followed the Baals.

1 Kings 18:21

21 Elijah came near to all the people and said, "How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.

1 Kings 18:22

22 Then Elijah said to the people, "I alone am left a prophet of the LORD , but Baal's prophets are 450 men.

1 Kings 18:24

24 "Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD , and the God who answers by fire, He is God." And all the people said, "That is a good idea."

1 Kings 18:25

25 So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one ox for yourselves and prepare it first for you are many, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it."

1 Kings 18:26

26 Then they took the ox which was given them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon saying, "O Baal, answer us." But there was no voice and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they made.

1 Kings 18:27

27 It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, "Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened."

1 Kings 18:30

30 Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD which had been torn down.

1 Kings 18:31

31 Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, "Israel shall be your name."

1 Kings 18:34

34 And he said, "Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood." And he said, "Do it a second time," and they did it a second time. And he said, "Do it a third time," and they did it a third time.

1 Kings 18:36

36 At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, "O LORD , the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word.

1 Kings 18:39

39 When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, "The LORD , He is God; the LORD , He is God."

1 Kings 18:40

40 Then Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape." So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

1 Kings 18:41

41 Now Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower."

1 Kings 18:43

43 He said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing ." And he said, "Go back " seven times.

1 Kings 18:44

44 It came about at the seventh time, that he said, "Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.' "

1 Kings 19:2

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

1 Kings 19:4

4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough; now, O LORD , take my life, for I am not better than my fathers."

1 Kings 19:5

5 He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, there was an angel touching him, and he said to him, "Arise, eat."

1 Kings 19:7

7 The angel of the LORD came again a second time and touched him and said, "Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you."

1 Kings 19:9

9 Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

1 Kings 19:10

10 He said, "I have been very zealous for the LORD , the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

1 Kings 19:11

11 So He said, "Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD ." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD ; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

1 Kings 19:13

13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

1 Kings 19:14

14 Then he said, "I have been very zealous for the LORD , the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

1 Kings 19:15

15 The LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and when you have arrived, you shall anoint Hazael king over Aram;

1 Kings 19:20

20 He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, "Please let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"

1 Kings 20:2

2 Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, "Thus says Ben-hadad,

1 Kings 20:5

5 Then the messengers returned and said, "Thus says Ben-hadad, 'Surely, I sent to you saying, "You shall give me your silver and your gold and your wives and your children,"

1 Kings 20:7

7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, "Please observe and see how this man is looking for trouble; for he sent to me for my wives and my children and my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him."

1 Kings 20:8

8 All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent."

1 Kings 20:9

9 So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.' " And the messengers departed and brought him word again.

1 Kings 20:10

10 Ben-hadad sent to him and said, "May the gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria will suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."

1 Kings 20:12

12 When Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking with the kings in the temporary shelters, he said to his servants, "Station yourselves." So they stationed themselves against the city.

1 Kings 20:13

13 Now behold, a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and said, "Thus says the LORD , 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver them into your hand today, and you shall know that I am the LORD .' "

1 Kings 20:14

14 Ahab said, "By whom?" So he said, "Thus says the LORD , 'By the young men of the rulers of the provinces.' " Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" And he answered, "You."

1 Kings 20:17

17 The young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out and they told him, saying, "Men have come out from Samaria."

1 Kings 20:18

18 Then he said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive."

1 Kings 20:22

22 Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself and observe and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will come up against you."

1 Kings 20:23

23 Now the servants of the king of Aram said to him, "Their gods are gods of the mountains, therefore they were stronger than we; but rather let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.

1 Kings 20:28

28 Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, "Thus says the LORD , 'Because the Arameans have said, "The LORD is a god of the mountains, but He is not a god of the valleys," therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD .' "

1 Kings 20:31

31 His servants said to him, "Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings, please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save your life."

1 Kings 20:32

32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, "Your servant Ben-hadad says, 'Please let me live.' " And he said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

1 Kings 20:33

33 Now the men took this as an omen, and quickly catching his word said, "Your brother Ben-hadad." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he took him up into the chariot.

1 Kings 20:34

34 Ben-hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore, and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." Ahab said, "And I will let you go with this covenant." So he made a covenant with him and let him go.

1 Kings 20:35

35 Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of the LORD , "Please strike me." But the man refused to strike him.

1 Kings 20:36

36 Then he said to him, "Because you have not listened to the voice of the LORD , behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you." And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him and killed him.

1 Kings 20:37

37 Then he found another man and said, "Please strike me." And the man struck him, wounding him.

1 Kings 20:39

39 As the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, 'Guard this man; if for any reason he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'

1 Kings 20:40

40 "While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." And the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."

1 Kings 20:42

42 He said to him, "Thus says the LORD , 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.' "

1 Kings 21:2

2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden because it is close beside my house, and I will give you a better vineyard than it in its place; if you like , I will give you the price of it in money."

1 Kings 21:3

3 But Naboth said to Ahab, "The LORD forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers."

1 Kings 21:4

4 So Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and ate no food.

1 Kings 21:6

6 So he said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in its place.' But he said, 'I will not give you my vineyard.' "

1 Kings 21:7

7 Jezebel his wife said to him, "Do you now reign over Israel? Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be joyful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."

1 Kings 21:9

9 Now she wrote in the letters, saying, "Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people;

1 Kings 21:10

10 and seat two worthless men before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.' Then take him out and stone him to death."

1 Kings 21:13

13 Then the two worthless men came in and sat before him; and the worthless men testified against him, even against Naboth, before the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king." So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones.

1 Kings 21:14

14 Then they sent word to Jezebel, saying, "Naboth has been stoned and is dead."

1 Kings 21:15

15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead."

1 Kings 21:17

17 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

1 Kings 21:19

19 "You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD , "Have you murdered and also taken possession?"' And you shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD , "In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth the dogs will lick up your blood, even yours.""'

1 Kings 21:20

20 Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, O my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD .

1 Kings 21:23

23 "Of Jezebel also has the LORD spoken, saying, 'The dogs will eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.'

1 Kings 21:28

28 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

1 Kings 22:3

3 Now the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we are still doing nothing to take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"

1 Kings 22:4

4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

1 Kings 22:5

5 Moreover, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD ."

1 Kings 22:6

6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king."

1 Kings 22:7

7 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here that we may inquire of him?"

1 Kings 22:8

8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD , but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

1 Kings 22:9

9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah son of Imlah."

1 Kings 22:11

11 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made horns of iron for himself and said, "Thus says the LORD , 'With these you will gore the Arameans until they are consumed.' "

1 Kings 22:12

12 All the prophets were prophesying thus, saying, "Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king."

1 Kings 22:13

13 Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, "Behold now, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably."

1 Kings 22:14

14 But Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I shall speak."

1 Kings 22:15

15 When he came to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we refrain?" And he answered him, "Go up and succeed, and the LORD will give it into the hand of the king."

1 Kings 22:16

16 Then the king said to him, "How many times must I adjure you to speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD ?"

1 Kings 22:17

17 So he said, "I saw all Israel Scattered on the mountains, Like sheep which have no shepherd. And the LORD said, 'These have no master. Let each of them return to his house in peace.' "

1 Kings 22:18

18 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"

1 Kings 22:19

19 Micaiah said, "Therefore, hear the word of the LORD . I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.

1 Kings 22:20

20 "The LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?' And one said this while another said that.

1 Kings 22:21

21 "Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.'

1 Kings 22:22

22 "The LORD said to him, 'How?' And he said, 'I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Then He said, 'You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so.'

1 Kings 22:24

24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, "How did the Spirit of the LORD pass from me to speak to you?"

1 Kings 22:25

25 Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day when you enter an inner room to hide yourself."

1 Kings 22:26

26 Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

1 Kings 22:27

27 and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this man in prison and feed him sparingly with bread and water until I return safely.""'

1 Kings 22:28

28 Micaiah said, "If you indeed return safely the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Listen, all you people."

1 Kings 22:30

30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.

1 Kings 22:31

31 Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, "Do not fight with small or great, but with the king of Israel alone."

1 Kings 22:32

32 So when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, "Surely it is the king of Israel," and they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.

1 Kings 22:34

34 Now a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel in a joint of the armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, "Turn around and take me out of the fight; for I am severely wounded."

1 Kings 22:36

36 Then a cry passed throughout the army close to sunset , saying, "Every man to his city and every man to his country."

1 Kings 22:49

49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my servants go with your servants in the ships." But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
