ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

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

¹ And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Saul reigned one year; year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

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

²² And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.

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

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

³⁵ And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Ish-bosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.

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

¹⁵ And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

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

¹⁸ And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:

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

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

³⁵ Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.

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

¹¹ And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

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

²⁰ And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.

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

²⁸ Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.

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

¹¹ And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.

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

²⁸ So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve twelve years.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
