Ruth, “
Listen, my daughter. Do not go and
glean in another field, and do not go away from this place, but stay
here close to my servant girls.

nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not
heretofore.
Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.

mealtime come thou
hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy
morsel in the

kinsman, well; let him do the
kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a
kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a
kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
Stay
here tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to
redeem you, good. Let him
redeem you. But if he does not want to
redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie
here until morning.”
Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the
kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down
here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the
kinsman-
redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come over
here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went over and sat down.

And I thought to
advertise thee, saying,
Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou
wilt redeem it,
redeem it: but if thou
wilt not
redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to
redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will
redeem it.
I thought I should inform you that you may
buy it back in the presence of those seated
here and in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to
redeem it, do so. But if you will not
redeem it, tell me so I may know, because there is no one but you to
redeem it, and I am next after you.” “I will
redeem it,” he replied.

here at once.”
And Saul said,

hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and
slay them
here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and
slew them there.

everyone brought his ox and slaughtered it there.

plunder them until
dawn, leaving no man alive!” “Do what seems good to you,” the troops replied. But the priest said, “We must
consult God
here.”
And Saul said, Draw ye near
hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
Therefore Saul said, “Come
here, all you leaders of the troops, and let us
investigate how this sin has occurred
today.

here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
The priest replied, “The sword of
Goliath the
Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is

here. I want to send you to the king to ask: Why have I come back from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there.’ So now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”

yourself.”
And
Jehoshaphat said, Is there not
here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might
enquire of him?
But
Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD
here of whom we can inquire?”
And
Elijah said unto
Elisha,
Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to
Bethel. And
Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to
Bethel.
and
Elijah said to
Elisha, “Please stay
here, for the LORD has sent me on to
Bethel.” But
Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you
yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to
Bethel.
And
Elijah said unto him,
Elisha,
tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to

Jericho.
And
Elijah said to
Elisha, “Please stay
here, for the LORD has sent me on to
Jericho.” But

And

And
Elijah said to
Elisha, “Please stay
here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But

But
Jehoshaphat said, Is there not
here a prophet of the LORD, that we may
enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said,
Here is
Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of
Elijah.
But
Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD
here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “
Elisha son of Shaphat is
here. He used to pour water on the hands of
Elijah.”
And there were four
leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we
here until we die?
Now there were four men with
leprosy at the entrance of the city gate, and they said to one another, “Why just sit
here until we die?
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
But one of his servants replied, “Please, have scouts take five of the horses that remain in the city. Their
plight will be no worse than all the Israelites who are left
here. You can see that all the Israelites
here are
doomed. So let us send them and find out.”
And
Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-
hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come

Then
Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-
hadad king of

here.”
And
Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of
Baal, and said unto the worshippers of
Baal, Search, and look that there be
here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of
Baal only.
Next,
Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of
Baal, and
Jehu said to the servants of
Baal, “Look around to see that there are no servants of the LORD
here among you—only servants of
Baal.”
And Bakbakkar,
Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of
Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of
Asaph;
Bakbakkar,
Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto
Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
Then all Israel came together to David at
Hebron and said, “
Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
And the inhabitants of
Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come
hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of
Zion, which is the city of David.
The people of
Jebus said to David, “You will never get in
here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of
Zion (that is, the City of David).
Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to
Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
After David had settled into his palace, he said to
Nathan the prophet, “
Here I am, living in a house of
cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”
Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God, as well as the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present
here giving
joyfully and willingly to You.
