carcase of the lion.

ate it as he
went along. And when he returned to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they
ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion’s
carcass.

heifer, ye had not found out my

went up to his father’s house.

solved the
riddle. And burning with anger,
Samson returned to his father’s house,

In
response, three thousand men of Judah
went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked
Samson, “Do you not
realize that the Philistines rule over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.

slept,
Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and
wove them into the web.Then she
tightened it with a pin and called to him, “
Samson, the Philistines are here!” But he
awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the
loom and the web.

shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to
afflict him, and his strength
went from him.
And having
lulled him to sleep on her
lap, she called a man to
shave off the seven braids of his head. In this way she began to
subdue him, and his strength left him.

hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?

went to
spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an
ephod, and
teraphim, and a
graven image, and a
molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
Then the five men who had gone to
spy out the land of Laish said to their brothers, “Did you know that one of these houses has an
ephod, household gods, a
graven image, and a
molten idol? Now think about what you should do.”
So they turned aside there and
went to the home of the young
Levite, the house of
Micah, and
greeted him.
And the five men that
went to
spy out the land
went up, and came in thither, and took the
graven image, and the
ephod, and the
teraphim, and the
molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.

ephod, the household idols, and the
molten idol, while the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred armed men.
And these
went into
Micah’s house, and
fetched the carved image, the
ephod, and the
teraphim, and the
molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?

Micah’s house and took the
graven image, the
ephod, the household idols, and the
molten idol, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”

glad, and he took the
ephod, and the
teraphim, and the
graven image, and
went in the midst of the people.

glad and took the
ephod, the household idols, and the
graven image, and
went with the people.

And the children of
Dan went their way: and when

went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of

damsel saw him, he
rejoiced to meet him.

lodge in Gibeah: and when he
went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to
lodging.

went out and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not do this wicked thing! After all, this man is a
guest in my house. Do not commit this
outrage.

doorway, and lay there until it was light.
And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and
went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his
concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the
threshold.

concubine,
collapsed in the
doorway of the house, with her hands on the
threshold.
Then all the children of Israel
went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from

Mizpah.
And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.

went up and

They
went up and
wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people,
went up, and came unto the house of God, and
wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in
array against Gibeah, as at other times.

went up against the Benjamites and
arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
And the children of Benjamin
went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to
smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the
highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to
Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
The Benjamites did as
instructed and carried away the number of women they needed from the dancers they caught. They
went back to their own inheritance, rebuilt their cities, and settled in them.
And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
And at that time, each of the Israelites returned from there to his own tribe and clan, each to his own inheritance.
Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah
went to

Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah.
So they two
went until they came to
Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to
Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this
Naomi?
I
went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me
Naomi, seeing the LORD hath
testified against me, and the
Almighty hath
afflicted me?
I
went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me
Naomi? After all, the LORD has
testified against me, and the
Almighty has
afflicted me.”
And she
went, and came, and
gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her
hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
So
Ruth departed and
went out into the field and
gleaned after the harvesters. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
And she took it up, and
went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had
gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
She
picked up the grain and
went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had
gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to
Naomi.
And she
went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law
bade her.
So she
went down to the
threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had
instructed her to do.
And when Boaz had eaten and
drunk, and his heart was
merry, he
went to lie down at the end of the
heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he
went to lie down at the end of the
heap of grain. Then
Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Also he said, Bring the
vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she
went into the city.
And he told her, “Bring the
shawl you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he
shoveled six measures of barley into her
shawl. Then he
went into the city.
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.
So Boaz took
Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he
went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
So Boaz took
Ruth, and she became his wife. And when he had relations with her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
And this man
went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in
Shiloh. And the two sons of
Eli,
Hophni and
Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
Year after year Elkanah would go up from his city to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of Hosts at
Shiloh, where
Eli’s two sons,
Hophni and
Phinehas, were priests to the LORD.
And as he did so year by year, when she
went up to the house of the LORD, so she
provoked her; therefore she
wept, and did not eat.
And this
went on year after year. Whenever
Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival
taunted her until she
wept and would not eat.
And she said, Let thine
handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman
went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more
sad.
“May your
maidservant find favor with you,” said
Hannah. Then she
went on her way, and she began eating again, and her face was no longer
downcast.
And the man Elkanah, and all his house,
went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his
vow.
Then Elkanah and all his house
went up to make the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to
fulfill his
vow,
But
Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be
weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there
abide for ever.
but
Hannah did not go. “After the boy is
weaned,” she said to her husband, “I will take him to appear before the LORD and to stay there permanently.”
And Elkanah
went to
Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before
Eli the priest.
Then Elkanah
went home to
Ramah, but the boy began ministering to the LORD before
Eli the priest.
Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Each year his mother would make him a little
robe and bring it to him when she
went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
And
Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the
loan which is lent to the LORD. And they
went unto their own home.
And
Eli would
bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home.
And
ere the lamp of God
went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
Before the lamp of God had gone out, Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was
located.
And he ran unto
Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he
went and lay down.
He ran to
Eli and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “I did not call,”
Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.” So he
went and lay down.
And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and
went to
Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou
didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
Once again the LORD called, “Samuel!” So Samuel got up,
went to
Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” “My son, I did not call,”
Eli replied. “Go back and lie down.”
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and
went to
Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou
didst call me. And
Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
Once again, for the third time, the LORD called to Samuel. He got up,
went to
Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you have called me.” Then
Eli realized that it was the LORD who was calling the boy.
Therefore
Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel
went and lay down in his place.
“Go and lie down,” he said to Samuel, “and if He calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for Your servant is
listening.’” So Samuel
went and lay down in his place.
And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now the Israelites
went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped at
Ebenezer, while the Philistines camped at Aphek.
And the men that died not were
smitten with the
emerods: and the cry of the city
went up to heaven.
Those who did not die were
afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city
went up to heaven.
And the
kine took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, and
went along the
highway, lowing as they
went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines
went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
And the cows headed straight up the road toward Beth-shemesh, staying on that one
highway and lowing as they
went, never
straying to the right or to the left. The rulers of the Philistines followed behind them to the border of Beth-shemesh.
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at
Mizpah, their rulers marched up toward Israel. And when the Israelites learned of this, they feared the Philistines
And the men of Israel
went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and
smote them, until they came under Beth-
car.
Then the men of Israel charged out of
Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, striking them down all the way to an area below Beth-
car.
And he
went from year to year in circuit to
Bethel, and
Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
Every year he would go on a circuit from
Bethel to
Gilgal to
Mizpah, judging Israel in all these places.
And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
So Saul passed through the hill country of Ephraim and then through the land of Shalishah, but did not find the
donkeys. He and the servant
went through the region of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then they
went through the land of Benjamin, and still they did not find them.
(Formerly in Israel, a man on his way to inquire of God would say, “Come, let us go to the
seer.” For the prophet of
today was formerly called the
seer.)
Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
“Good,” said Saul to his servant. “Come, let us go.” So they set out for the city where the man of God was.
And as they
went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the
seer here?
And as they were
climbing the hill to the city, they met some young women coming out to draw water and asked, “Is the
seer here?”
And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
So Saul and his servant went up toward the city, and as they were entering it, there was Samuel coming toward them on his way up to the high place.
And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
They got up early in the morning, and just before
dawn Samuel called to Saul on the roof, “Get ready, and I will send you on your way!” So Saul arose, and both he and Samuel
went outside together.
And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul,
Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still a while, that I may
shew thee the word of God.
As they were going down to the edge of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on
ahead of us, but you stay for a while, and I will
reveal to you the word of God.” So the servant
went on.
When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by
Rachel’s
sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The
asses which thou
wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the
asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
When you leave me
today, you will find two men at
Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The
donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped
worrying about the
donkeys and started
worrying about you, asking, “What should I do about my son?”’
And when he had made an end of
prophesying, he came to the high place.
And when Saul had finished
prophesying, he
