handmaid:
So the king asked, “Is the hand of

hew me
cedar trees out of

appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to
hew timber like unto the Sidonians.

ordinances, and keep all My commandments by walking in them, I will
fulfill through you the promise I made to your father David.

incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.

incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep the commandments and statutes and
ordinances He commanded our fathers.
And if thou
wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and
wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of
integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and
ordinances,
And it shall be, if thou
wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and
wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in
order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
On the

Jeroboam offered sacrifices on the altar he had set up in
Bethel. So he
ordained a feast for the Israelites, offered sacrifices on the altar, and burned incense.
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.

Ahab. “You will,” answered the prophet.

And there came a
messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.

Baal.

order to destroy the servants of
Baal.

Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
To this day they are still practicing their former customs. None of them worship the LORD or observe the statutes, ordinances, laws, and commandments that the LORD gave the descendants of Jacob, whom He named Israel.

planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should
crush fortified cities into piles of
rubble.

burst forth in anger against us. For we did not
consult Him about the proper
order.”

ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

oppress them as they did at the beginning
And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have
sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
