2 Samuel 14:22Joab fell facedown in homage and blessed the king. “Today,” said Joab, “your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his request.”2 Samuel 20:16a wise woman called out from the city, “Listen! Listen! Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak with him.”2 Samuel 20:17When he had come near to her, the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” “I am,” he replied. “Listen to the words of your servant,” she said. “I am listening,” he answered.2 Samuel 20:18Then the woman said, “Long ago they used to say, ‘Seek counsel at Abel,’ and that is how disputes were settled.2 Samuel 20:19I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel, but you are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”2 Samuel 20:20“Far be it!” Joab declared. “Far be it from me to swallow up or destroy!2 Samuel 20:21That is not the case. But a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him alone, and I will depart from the city.” “Look,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”2 Samuel 20:22Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn and his men dispersed from the city, each to his own home. And Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.1 Kings 3:24The king continued, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought him a sword,1 Kings 3:25and the king declared, “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”1 Kings 3:26Then the woman whose son was alive spoke to the king because she yearned with compassion for her son. “Please, my lord,” she said, “give her the living baby. Do not kill him!” But the other woman said, “He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut him in two!”1 Kings 3:27Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. By no means should you kill him; she is his mother.”1 Kings 3:28When all Israel heard of the judgment the king had given, they stood in awe of him, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.1 Chronicles 13:1Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds.1 Chronicles 13:2And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.1 Chronicles 13:3Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”1 Chronicles 13:4And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.1 Chronicles 15:16David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.1 Chronicles 15:17So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah;1 Chronicles 15:18and with them their brothers next in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.1 Chronicles 15:19The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals.1 Chronicles 15:20Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play the harps according to Alamoth.1 Chronicles 15:21And Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres according to Sheminith.1 Chronicles 15:22Chenaniah the head Levite was the director of the music because he was highly skilled.1 Chronicles 15:23Berechiah and Elkanah were to be guardians of the ark.1 Chronicles 15:24Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer—the priests—were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also to be guardians of the ark.Esther 2:10Esther did not reveal her people or her lineage, because Mordecai had instructed her not to do so.Esther 5:7Esther replied, “This is my petition and my request:Proverbs 15:1A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.Proverbs 25:15Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.Acts 16:3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.Acts 19:35Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?Acts 19:36Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.Acts 19:37For you have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed our temple nor blasphemed our goddess.Acts 19:38So if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open and proconsuls are available. Let them bring charges against one another there.Acts 19:39But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.Acts 19:40For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today’s events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion.”Acts 19:41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.Acts 21:20When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.Acts 21:21But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.Acts 21:22What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.Acts 21:23Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow.Acts 21:24Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.Acts 21:25As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”Acts 23:6Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”Acts 23:7As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.Acts 23:8For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection nor angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.Acts 23:9A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”Acts 23:10The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the barracks.1 Corinthians 9:19Though I am free of obligation to anyone, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.1 Corinthians 9:20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.1 Corinthians 9:21To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.1 Corinthians 9:22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.2 Corinthians 8:1Now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the churches of Macedonia.2 Corinthians 8:2In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.2 Corinthians 8:3For I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord,2 Corinthians 8:4they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.2 Corinthians 8:5And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, through the will of God.2 Corinthians 8:6So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it.2 Corinthians 8:7But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
