But the poor man had nothing, save
one little
ewe lamb, which he had bought and
nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and
drank of his own cup, and lay in his
bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
but the poor man had nothing except
one small
ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and
drank from his cup; it
slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him.
And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he
spared to take of his own flock and of his own
herd, to dress for the
wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
Now a traveler came to the rich man, who
refrained from taking
one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his
guest.”

whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as
one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not
withhold me from thee.

one of the fools in Israel! Please speak to the king, for he will not
withhold me from you.”
And the servants of
Absalom did unto Amnon as
Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man
gat him up upon his
mule, and fled.
So
Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as
Absalom had ordered. Then all the other sons of the king got up, and each
one fled on his
mule.
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that
tidings came to David, saying,
Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not
one of them left.
While they were on the way, a report reached David: “
Absalom has struck down all the sons of the king; not
one of them is left!”
And thy
handmaid had two sons, and they two
strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the
one smote the other, and
slew him.
And your
maidservant had two sons who were fighting in the field with no
one to separate them, and
one struck the other and killed him.
And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine
handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that
smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he
slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall
quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
Now the whole clan has risen up against your
maidservant and said, ‘Hand over the
one who struck down his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of the brother whom he killed. Then we will cut off the heir as well!’ So they would
extinguish my
one remaining
ember by not preserving my husband’s name or
posterity on the earth.”
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
“Please,” she replied, “may the king
invoke the LORD your God to prevent the
avenger of blood from increasing the
devastation, so that my son may not be destroyed!” “As surely as the LORD lives,” he
vowed, “not a hair of your son’s head will fall to the ground.”
Then the woman said, Let thine
handmaid, I pray thee, speak
one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
Then the woman said, “Please, may your servant speak a word to my lord the king?” “Speak,” he replied.
And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king
doth speak this thing as
one which is
faulty, in that the king
doth not
fetch home again his banished.
The woman asked, “Why have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not
convict himself, since he has not brought back his own banished son?
For we must needs die, and are as water
spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither
doth God respect any person: yet
doth he
devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
For surely we will die and be like water poured out on the ground, which cannot be recovered. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises ways that the banished one may not be cast out from Him.
And the king said, Is not the hand of
Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant
Joab, he
bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine
handmaid:
So the king asked, “Is the hand of
Joab behind all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no
one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king says.
Yes, your servant
Joab is the
one who gave me orders; he told your
maidservant exactly what to say.

And
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then
Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of
one of the tribes of Israel.
He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever
anyone had a
grievance to bring before the king for a decision,
Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from
one of the tribes of Israel,”
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
“March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
And Hushai said unto
Absalom,
Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I
abide.
“Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
and bring all the people back to you as a
bride returning to her husband. You seek the life of only
one man; then all the people will be at peace.”
So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the
dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as
one.
Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like
dew on the ground. And of all the men with him, not even
one will remain.
Moreover, if he be
gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not
one small stone found there.
If he retreats to a city, all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will
drag it down to the valley until not even a
pebble can be found.”
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
So David and all the people with him got up and crossed the Jordan. By
daybreak, there was no
one left who had not crossed the Jordan.
And a certain man saw it, and told
Joab, and said, Behold, I saw
Absalom hanged in an oak.
When
one of the men saw this, he told
Joab, “I just saw
Absalom hanging in an oak tree!”
And they took
Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great
heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every
one to his tent.
They took
Absalom, cast him into a large pit in the forest, and piled a huge
mound of stones over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled, each to his home.

watchman saw another man running: and the
watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth
tidings.
the
watchman saw another man running, and he called out to the gatekeeper, “Look! Another man is running alone!” “This
one also brings good news,” said the king.
Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak
comfortably unto thy servants: for I
swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not
tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that
befell thee from thy youth until now.
Now therefore get up! Go out and speak comfort to your servants, for I
swear by the LORD that if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you
tonight. This will be worse for you than all the
adversity that has
befallen you from your youth until now!”

highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed
Amasa out of the
highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every
one that came by him stood still.
But
Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that all the troops were
stopping there, he
dragged the body off the road into a field and threw a garment over it.
I am
one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why
wilt thou
swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel, but you are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why would you
swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at
Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite
slew Saph, which was of the sons of the
giant.
Some time later at
Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph,

one anointed by the God of Jacob, and the sweet
psalmist of Israel:

spear against eight hundred, whom he
slew at
one time.

nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee
nay.
“I have just one small request of you,” she said. “Do not deny me.” “Make your request, my mother,” the king replied, “for I will not deny you.”

One who established me, who set me on the throne of my father David, and who founded for me a dynasty as He promised—surely Adonijah shall be put to death
today!”

One woman said, “Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house, and I gave birth while she was in the house.
And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
On the third day after I gave birth, this woman also had a
baby. We were alone, with no
one in the house but the two of us.
And the other woman said,
Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
“No,” said the other woman, “the living
one is my son and the dead
one is your son.” But the first woman insisted, “No, the dead
one is yours and the living
one is mine.” So they
argued before the king.
Then said the king, The
one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith,
Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.

And five cubits was the
one wing of the
cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the
cherub: from the
uttermost part of the
one wing unto the
uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
One wing of the first
cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing was five cubits long as well. So the full wingspan was ten cubits.
And the other
cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of
one measure and
one size.
The second
cherub also measured ten cubits; both
cherubim had the same size and shape,
The height of the
one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other
cherub.
and the height of each
cherub was ten cubits.
And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the
one touched the
one wall, and the wing of the other
cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched
one another in the midst of the house.
And he placed the
cherubim inside the
innermost room of the temple. Since their wings were spread out, the wing of the first
cherub touched
one wall, while the wing of the second
cherub touched the other wall, and in the middle of the room their wingtips touched.
And the two doors were of
fir tree: the two leaves of the
one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
The two doors were made of
cypress wood, and each had two folding panels.
And he built the inner court with three rows of
hewed stone, and a row of
cedar beams.
And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
There were three rows of high windows facing one another in three tiers.
And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
All the doorways had rectangular frames, with the openings facing one another in three tiers.

porch for the throne where he might judge, even the
porch of judgment: and it was covered with
cedar from
one side of the floor to the other.

paneled with
cedar from floor to
ceiling.
And he made two chapiters of
molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the
one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other
chapiter was five cubits:
He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on top of the pillars, each capital five cubits high.
And nets of checker work, and
wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the
one chapiter, and seven for the other
chapiter.
For the capitals on top of the pillars he made a network of
lattice, with
wreaths of
chainwork, seven for each capital.
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the
one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other
chapiter.
Likewise, he made the pillars with two rows of pomegranates around each
grating to cover each capital
atop the pillars.
And he made a
molten sea, ten cubits from the
one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from
rim to
rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.
And the mouth of it within the
chapiter and above was a
cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a
cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders,
foursquare, not round.
The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was
one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a
pedestal, a
cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.
For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
He engraved
cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with
wreaths all around.
After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
Then made he ten lavers of brass:
one laver contained forty baths: and every
laver was four cubits: and upon every
one of the ten bases
one laver.
He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.
And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for
one network, to cover the two
bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the
bowl-shaped capitals
atop the pillars);
And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be
angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away
captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
When they sin against You—for there is no
one who does not sin—and You become
angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as
captives to his own land, whether far or near,

And at this house, which is high, every
one that passeth by it shall be
astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?

heap of
rubble, all who pass by it will be
appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

one target.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.

one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of
Lebanon.
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three
minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of

Howbeit I will not
rend away all the kingdom; but will give
one tribe to thy son for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.
Yet I will not
tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give
one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
And unto his son will I give
one tribe, that David my servant may have a light
alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.

one, even unto
Dan.

one of the
calves.
After this thing
Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places:
whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became
one of the priests of the high places.
Even after these events,
Jeroboam did not
repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained
anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
Jeroboam, and will cut off from
Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the
remnant of the house of
Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
Because of all this, behold, I am bringing
disaster on the house of
Jeroboam: I will cut off from
Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of
Jeroboam as
one burns up dung until it is gone!
And all Israel shall
mourn for him, and
bury him: for he only of
Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of
Jeroboam.
All Israel will
mourn for him and
bury him. For this is the only
one belonging to
Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has the LORD, the God of Israel, found any good in the house of
Jeroboam.
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 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.

one years. His
grandmother’s name was
Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
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.
As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of
Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether a
kinsman or friend.

Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose
one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other
bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
Get two bulls for us. Let the prophets of
Baal choose
one bull for themselves, cut it into pieces, and place it on the wood but not light the fire. And I will prepare the other bull and place it on the wood but not light the fire.
And
Elijah said unto the prophets of
Baal, Choose you
one bullock for
yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
Then
Elijah said to the prophets of
Baal, “Since you are so numerous, choose for
