¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

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

¹⁹ For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

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

¹ And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods emerods in their secret parts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

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 enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.

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

¹ And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

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

¹ Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
