King James Version
1. Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2. Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons. 3. The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was wounded by the archers. 4. Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it. 5. And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died. 6. So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together. 7. And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 8. So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9. And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people. 10. Then they put his armor in the temple of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 11. And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12. all the valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 13. So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance. 14. But he did not inquire of the LORD; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
1. Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, "Indeed we are your bone and your flesh. 2. "Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.’" 3. Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. Then they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. 4. And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were , the inhabitants of the land. 5. Then the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here!" Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David). 6. Now David said, "Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief. 7. Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David. 8. And he built the city around it, from the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city. 9. Then David went on and became great, and the LORD of hosts was with him.
1. "At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. 2. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3. Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. 4. "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." 5. Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. 6. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be ?" 7. Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time ; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished. 8. Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall be the end of these things ?" 9. And he said, "Go your way , Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10. "Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. 11. "And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12. "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty–five days. 13. "But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days."
20. Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. 21. Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 22. Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. 23. But Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24. "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25. "He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26. "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. 27. "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28. "Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came from heaven, saying , "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again." 29. Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him." 30. Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31. "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32. "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself." 33. This He said, signifying by what death He would die. 34. The people answered Him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?" 35. Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36. "While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them. 37. But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38. that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?" 39. Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40. "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them." 41. These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. 42. Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him , lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43. for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44. Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. 45. "And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46. "I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47. "And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48. "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him––the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49. "For I have not spoken on My own authority ; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50. "And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."
