Nabal asked them,“ Who is David? Who is Jesse’s son? Many slaves these days are running away from their masters.Am I supposed to take my bread, my water, and my meat that I butchered for my shearers and give them to these men? I don’t know where they are from.”

Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and asked them the exact time the star appeared.He sent them to Bethlehem and said,“ Go and search carefully for the child. When you find Him, report back to me so that I too can go and worship Him.”

Suddenly, all the men of Israel came to the king. They asked him,“ Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and transport the king and his household across the Jordan, along with all of David’s men?”All the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel,“ Because the king is our relative. Why does this make you angry? Have we ever eaten anything of the king’s or been honored at all?”The men of Israel answered the men of Judah:“ We have 10 shares in the king, so we have a greater claim to David than you. Why then do you despise us? Weren’t we the first to speak of restoring our king?” But the words of the men of Judah were harsher than those of the men of Israel.Now a wicked man, a Benjaminite named Sheba son of Bichri, happened to be there. He blew the ram’s horn and shouted: We have no portion in David, no inheritance in Jesse’s son. Each man to his tent, Israel!

They, however, were filled with rage and started discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.

Saul said to his servants,“ Listen, men of Benjamin: Is Jesse’s son going to give all of you fields and vineyards? Do you think he’ll make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?That’s why all of you have conspired against me! Nobody tells me when my own son makes a covenant with Jesse’s son. None of you cares about me or tells me that my son has stirred up my own servant to wait in ambush for me, as is the case today.”

“ Didn’t we strictly order you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to bring this man’s blood on us!”But Peter and the apostles replied,“ We must obey God rather than men.The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had murdered by hanging Him on a tree.God exalted this man to His right hand as ruler and Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them.

He answered,“ If the Lord doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”

But the king said,“ You will die, Ahimelech— you and your father’s whole family!”Then the king ordered the guards standing by him,“ Turn and kill the priests of the Lord because they sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they didn’t tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to execute the priests of the Lord.So the king said to Doeg,“ Go and execute the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite went and executed the priests himself. On that day, he killed 85 men who wore linen ephods.

Then some from what is called the Freedmen’s Synagogue, composed of both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, came forward and disputed with Stephen.But they were unable to stand up against his wisdom and the Spirit by whom he was speaking.Then they persuaded some men to say,“ We heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God!”

But some of the Pharisees said,“ Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

When the Pharisee saw this, he was amazed that He did not first perform the ritual washing before dinner.

Saul did not say anything that day because he thought,“ Something unexpected has happened; he must be ceremonially unclean— yes, that’s it, he is unclean.”However, the day after the New Moon, the second day, David’s place was still empty, and Saul asked his son Jonathan,“ Why didn’t Jesse’s son come to the meal either yesterday or today?”Jonathan answered,“ David asked for my permission to go to Bethlehem.He said,‘ Please let me go because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the town, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if you are pleased with me, let me go so I can see my brothers.’ That’s why he didn’t come to the king’s table.”Then Saul became angry with Jonathan and shouted,“ You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you are siding with Jesse’s son to your own shame and to the disgrace of your mother?Every day Jesse’s son lives on earth you and your kingship are not secure. Now send for him and bring him to me— he deserves to die.”Jonathan answered his father back:“ Why is he to be killed? What has he done?”Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, so he knew that his father was determined to kill David.

Therefore the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been outwitted by the wise men, flew into a rage. He gave orders to massacre all the male children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, in keeping with the time he had learned from the wise men.

If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be ranting and raving but no resolution.

When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose Him fiercely and to cross-examine Him about many things;they were lying in wait for Him to trap Him in something He said.

On the fourth day they said to Samson’s wife,“ Persuade your husband to explain the riddle to us, or we will burn you and your father’s household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?”

He announced,“ May God punish me and do so severely if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders today.”

For a person named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, provided a great deal of business for the craftsmen.When he had assembled them, as well as the workers engaged in this type of business, he said:“ Men, you know that our prosperity is derived from this business.You both see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this man Paul has persuaded and misled a considerable number of people by saying that gods made by hand are not gods!So not only do we run a risk that our business may be discredited, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be despised and her magnificence come to the verge of ruin— the very one all of Asia and the world adore.”When they had heard this, they were filled with rage and began to cry out,“ Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

When they heard these things, they were enraged in their hearts and gnashed their teeth at him.But Stephen, filled by the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven. He saw God’s glory, with Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said,“ Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”Then they screamed at the top of their voices, covered their ears, and together rushed against him.They threw him out of the city and began to stone him. And the witnesses laid their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul.They were stoning Stephen as he called out:“ Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
