fathers.

captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their
fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their

didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our
fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

fathers.

The same day did the king
hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the
fat of the peace offerings: because the

fat of the peace offerings.
On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the
courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the
fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.

And they shall answer, Because they
forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their
fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.

forsaken the LORD their God who brought their
fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this
disaster upon them.’”

That
Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his
father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt;
Hadad being yet a little child.
But
Hadad, still just a young boy, had fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites who were servants of his
father.

fathers, and that

Because that they have
forsaken me, and have worshipped
Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians,
Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of

father.

father David did.

father put a heavy yoke on us. But now you should

Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his
father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye
advise that I may answer this people?
Then King
Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his
father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you
advise me to
respond to these people?” he asked.

He asked them, “What message do you
advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘
Lighten the yoke your
father put on us’?”
And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins.
The young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your
father made our yoke heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my
father’s
waist!
And now whereas my
father did
lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my
father hath
chastised you with whips, but I will
chastise you with scorpions.
Whereas my
father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my
father scourged you with whips, I will
scourge you with scorpions.’”
And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My
father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my
father also
chastised you with whips, but I will
chastise you with scorpions.
and spoke to them as the young men had
advised, saying, “Whereas my
father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my
father scourged you with whips, I will
scourge you with scorpions.”

father.

Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in

“Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.
But camest back, and hast eaten bread and
drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy
carcase shall not come unto the
sepulchre of thy
fathers.

ate bread and
drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your
fathers.’”
For the LORD shall
smite Israel, as a reed is
shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their
fathers, and shall
scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves,

fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
So
Ahab went to his palace,
sullen and

fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.
And
Ahab rested with his
fathers, and his son
Ahaziah reigned in his place.

And
Elisha saw it, and he
cried, My
father, my
father, the
chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of
Baal that his
father had made.

father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him,
Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your
father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”

father, if the prophet had
bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be
cleansed’?”
And the king of Israel said unto

smite them?

rode together after

Pick him up and throw him into the field of
Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember that when you and I were riding together behind his
father Ahab, the LORD lifted up this burden against him:

fathers—

treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent them to

horsemen thereof.

father by war. Three times did
Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
Then Jehoash son of
Jehoahaz took back from Ben-
hadad son of
Hazael the cities that
Hazael had taken in battle from his
father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-
hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.

father: he did according to all things as
Joash his
father did.

father David had done. He did everything as his
father Joash had done.

father.

father the king.
But the children of the murderers he
slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The
fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the
fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”

father.

stead.

Yet the LORD
testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your
fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
Yet through all His prophets and seers, the LORD
warned Israel and Judah, saying, “Turn from your wicked ways and keep My commandments and statutes, according to the entire Law that I commanded your
fathers and delivered to you through My servants the prophets.”
Notwithstanding they would not hear, but
hardened their necks, like to the neck of their
fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
But they would not
listen, and they
stiffened their necks like their
fathers, who did not believe the LORD their God.
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their
fathers, and his
testimonies which he
testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
They rejected His statutes and the covenant He had made with their
fathers, as well as the decrees He had given them. They pursued worthless idols and themselves became worthless, going after the surrounding nations that the LORD had commanded them not to
imitate.
