ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the king said unto me, the queen also sitting by him, For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And let the maiden which pleaseth pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased pleased the king; and he did so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, for it is great, all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And the saying pleased pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
