ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁶ And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And she said to her father, Let it not displease displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow follow my lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
