The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted

The king was very upset. But he thought of his promise and his dinner guests. So he told one of his men to give her what she asked for.

And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given.

Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders.

Although the king regretted it, he commanded that it be granted because of his oaths and his guests.

And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her.

And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given;

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded[ it] to be given[ her].

Although it grieved the king, because of his oath and the dinner guests he commanded it to be given.

The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

And He said to them,“ Go and tell that fox,‘ Behold, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I reach My goal.’

So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them,“ Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”For he knew that it was because of envy that they had handed Him over.And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying,“ See that you have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him.”But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas, and to put Jesus to death.And the governor said to them,“ Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said,“ Barabbas.”Pilate* said to them,“ Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all* said,“ Crucify Him!”But he said,“ Why, what evil has He done?” Yet they kept shouting all the more, saying,“ Crucify Him!”Now when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying,“ I am innocent of this Man’s blood; you yourselves shall see.”And all the people replied,“ His blood shall be on us and on our children!”Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus flogged, he handed Him over to be crucified.

Then he said,“ May God do so to me and more so, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today.”Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from his presence; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders,“ Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent a man to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold the door shut against him. Is the sound of his master’s feet not behind him?”While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him and he said,“ Behold, this evil is from the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”

May God do so to the enemies of David, and more so, if by morning I leave alive as much as one male of any who belong to him.”

But if her father expresses disapproval to her on the day he hears of it, none of her vows or her obligations under which she has put herself shall remain valid; and the Lord will forgive her because her father has expressed disapproval to her.“ However, if she happens to marry while under her vows or the impulsive statement of her lips by which she has obligated herself,and her husband hears of it and says nothing to her on the day he hears it, then her vows shall remain valid and her binding obligations under which she has put herself shall remain valid.But if on the day her husband hears of it, he expresses disapproval to her, then he will annul her vow which she is under and the impulsive statement of her lips by which she has obligated herself; and the Lord will forgive her.

So Saul swore an oath to her by the Lord, saying,“ As the Lord lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing.”

Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.

For as the Lord lives, who saves Israel, even if it is in my son Jonathan, he shall assuredly die!” But not one of all the people answered him.Then he said to all Israel,“ You shall be on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul,“ Do what seems good to you.”Therefore, Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel,“ Give a perfect lot.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected by lot, but the people were exonerated.Then Saul said,“ Cast lots between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was selected by lot.So Saul said to Jonathan,“ Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan told him, and said,“ I did indeed taste a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die!”And Saul said,“ May God do the same to me and more also, for you shall certainly die, Jonathan!”But the people said to Saul,“ Must Jonathan die, he who has brought about this great victory in Israel? Far from it! As the Lord lives, not even a hair of his head shall fall to the ground, because he has worked with God this day.” So the people rescued Jonathan and he did not die.

requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem( at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way).Festus then answered that Paul was being kept in custody in Caesarea, and that he himself was about to leave shortly.“ Therefore,” he* said,“ have the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, have them bring charges against him.”After Festus had spent no more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered that Paul be brought.After Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many, and serious, charges against him which they could not prove,while Paul said in his own defense,“ I have not done anything wrong either against the Law of the Jews, or against the temple, or against Caesar.”But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, replied to Paul and said,“ Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me on these charges?”

Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying,“ None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin in marriage.”

for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he had been protecting him. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; and yet he used to enjoy listening to him.

And King Herod heard about it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying,“ John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him.”

Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply distressed, and set his mind on rescuing Daniel; and until sunset he kept exerting himself to save him.Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king,“ Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed.”Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and thrown into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel,“ Your God whom you continually serve will Himself rescue you.”

Then David said to Abigail,“ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me,and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.Nevertheless, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, if you had not come quickly to meet me, there certainly would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male.”

And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said,“ If You will indeed hand over to me the sons of Ammon,then whatever comes out the doors of my house to meet me when I return safely from the sons of Ammon, it shall be the Lord’s, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”

Do not be quick with your mouth or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.

Now the men of Israel were hard pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying,“ Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,

And although the king was very sorry, because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

And at the end of two months she returned to her father, who did to her what he had vowed; and she had no relations with a man. And it became a custom in Israel,

What are we to do for wives for those who are left, since we have sworn by the Lord not to give them any of our daughters as wives?”And they said,“ What one is there of the tribes of Israel that did not go up to the Lord at Mizpah?” And behold, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh gilead to the assembly.For when the people were counted, behold, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh gilead was there.And the congregation sent twelve thousand of the valiant warriors there, and commanded them, saying,“ Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh gilead with the edge of the sword, along with the women and the children.And this is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has slept with a male.”And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man by sleeping with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.Then the whole congregation sent word and spoke to the sons of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.And the tribe of Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had allowed to live from the women of Jabesh gilead; but they were not enough for them.And the people were sorry for Benjamin, because the Lord had created a gap in the tribes of Israel.Then the elders of the congregation said,“ What are we to do for wives for those who are left, since the women have been eliminated from Benjamin?”And they said,“ There must be an inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, so that a tribe will not be wiped out from Israel.But we cannot give them wives from our daughters.” For the sons of Israel had sworn, saying,“ Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin!”So they said,“ Behold, there is a feast of the Lord from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the road that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south side of Lebonah.”And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying,“ Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,and watch; and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to take part in the dances, then you shall come out of the vineyards, and each of you shall seize his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.And when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, we shall say to them,‘ Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, otherwise you would now be guilty.’ ”The sons of Benjamin did so, and took wives according to their number from those who danced, whom they seized. And they went and returned to their inheritance, and rebuilt the cities and lived in them.

As a result of this, Pilate made efforts to release Him; but the Jews shouted, saying,“ If you release this Man, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king opposes Caesar!”Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement— but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he* said to the Jews,“ Look, your King!”So they shouted,“ Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate* said to them,“ Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered,“ We have no king except Caesar.”So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.

He gave orders to the centurion for Paul to be kept in custody and yet have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from providing for his needs.Now some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.But as he was discussing righteousness, self control, and the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and responded,“ Go away for now, and when I have an opportunity, I will summon you.”At the same time he was also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul; therefore he also used to send for him quite often and talk with him.But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and Felix, wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul imprisoned.

Then one of the people responded and said,“ Your father strictly put the people under oath, saying,‘ Cursed be the man who eats food today.’ ” And the people were weary.
