2 Samuel 15:34but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so will I now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’2 Samuel 15:35Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king’s house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.2 Samuel 15:36Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear.”2 Samuel 15:37So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.1 Kings 12:7They spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”1 Kings 19:3When he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.1 Kings 19:4But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough.

Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”2 Kings 7:13One of his servants answered, “Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let us send and see.”Nehemiah 2:12I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; neither was there any animal with me, except the animal that I rode on.Nehemiah 2:13I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the jackal’s well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and its gates were consumed with fire.Nehemiah 2:14Then I went on to the spring gate and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the animal that was under me to pass.Nehemiah 2:15Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.Nehemiah 2:16The rulers didn’t know where I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest who did the work.Nehemiah 4:13Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.Nehemiah 4:14I looked, and rose up, and said to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them!

He who sounded the trumpet was by me.Nehemiah 4:19I said to the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another.Nehemiah 4:20Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally there to us. Our God will fight for us.”Nehemiah 4:21So we worked in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars appeared.Nehemiah 4:22Likewise at the same time said I to the people, “Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labor in the day.”Nehemiah 4:23So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes.
