⁹ With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising; sunrising;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

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

¹³ So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Solomon had twelve twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now in the eighteenth eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides sides round about him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Beside that he had of the merchantmen, merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures 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 Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ So Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
