Jonathan die—he who accomplished

forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD’S
anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the
anointed of the LORD.

forbid that I should do
such a thing to my master, the LORD’s
anointed. May I never lift my hand against him, since he is the LORD’s
anointed.”

wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is
such a son of
Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
Now consider carefully what you must do, because
disaster looms over our master and all his household. For he is
such a
scoundrel that
nobody can speak to him!”

Joab, and the servants of my lord, are
encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

Joab and his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do
such a thing!”

bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee
such and
such things.
I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.

hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred
wherewith he
hated her was greater than the love
wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
Then Amnon
hated Tamar with
such intensity that his hatred was greater than the love he previously had. “Get up!” he said to her. “Be gone!”
And she had a garment of
divers colours upon her: for with
such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins
apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and

robe of many colors, because this is what the king’s virgin daughters
wore.

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.

convict himself, since he has not brought back his own banished son?

“Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The
donkeys are for the king’s household to
ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”

But
Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do
such a thing?”

appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done
such a thing to this land and to this temple?’

such and
such a place.”
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying,
Beware that thou pass not
such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and
warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.

Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in
such places.

monstrous thing?” said
Hazael. And
Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over
Aram.”
