'Gave' in the Bible

So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

Then I gave orders, and they made the rooms clean: and I put back in them the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the perfume.

In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and getting in grain and putting it on asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods which they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I gave witness against them on the day when they were marketing food.

And so, when the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the doors to be shut and not to be open again till after the Sabbath: and I put some of my servants by the door so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath day.

Then I gave witness against them and said, Why are you waiting all night by the wall? if you do so again I will have you taken prisoners. From that time they did not come again on the Sabbath.

And I gave the Levites orders to make themselves clean and come and keep the doors and make the Sabbath holy. Keep this in mind to my credit, O my God, and have mercy on me, for great is your mercy.

In the third year of his rule he gave a feast to all his captains and his servants; and the captains of the army of Persia and Media, the great men and the rulers of the divisions of his kingdom, were present before him;

And at the end of that time, the king gave a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan, the king's town, small as well as great, for seven days, in the outer square of the garden of the king's house.

And they gave them drink in gold vessels, every vessel being different, and wine of the kingdom, freely given by the king.

And Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.

On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven unsexed servants who were waiting before Ahasuerus the king,

But when the servants gave her the king's order, Vashti the queen said she would not come: then the king was very angry, and his heart was burning with wrath.

What is to be done by law to Vashti the queen, because she has not done what King Ahasuerus, by his servants, gave her orders to do?

And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;

For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.

And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.

Then the king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a day of rest from work, and gave wealth from his store.

And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.

And all the king's servants who were in the king's house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.

Now when they had said this to him day after day and he gave no attention, they let Haman have news of it, to see if Mordecai's behaviour would be overlooked: for he had said to them that he was a Jew.

And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews.

And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.

Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's unsexed servants whom he had given her for waiting on her, and she gave him orders to go to Mordecai and see what this was and why it was.

And Mordecai gave him an account of what had taken place, and of the amount of money which Haman had said he would put into the king's store for the destruction of the Jews.

And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer for her people.

And Hathach came back and gave Esther an account of what Mordecai had said.

And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.

And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.

That day the king gave all the family of Haman, the hater of the Jews, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had made clear what he was to her.

And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther put Mordecai over the family of Haman.

In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,

And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.

And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.

And the Jews gave their word to go on as they had been doing and as Mordecai had given them orders in writing;

But when the business was put before the king, he gave orders by letters that the evil design which he had made against the Jews was to be turned against himself; and that he and his sons were to be put to death by hanging.

The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;

The order given by Esther gave the force of law to the rules about the Purim; and it was recorded in the book.

And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.

Then Job got up, and after parting his clothing and cutting off his hair, he went down on his face to the earth, and gave worship, and said,

With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.

Your hands made me, and I was formed by you, but then, changing your purpose, you gave me up to destruction.

Then he saw it, and put it on record; he gave it its fixed form, searching it out completely.

For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;

Men gave ear to me, waiting and keeping quiet for my suggestions.

A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;

If I was glad at the trouble of my hater, and gave cries of joy when evil overtook him;

So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right.

Who ever gave orders to him, or said to him, You have done wrong?

When the morning stars made songs together, and all the sons of the gods gave cries of joy?

Has the rain a father? or who gave birth to the drops of night mist?

Out of whose body came the ice? and who gave birth to the cold mist of heaven?

And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.

And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;

And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.

For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.

They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.

He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.

For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.

This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.

When I was waiting quietly for the Lord, his heart was turned to me, and he gave ear to my cry.

Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.

They gave me poison for my food; and bitter wine for my drink.

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.

From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

I was crying to God with my voice; even to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.

The clouds sent out water; the skies gave out a sound; truly, your arrows went far and wide.

He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.

And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;

And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.

So they had food and were full; for he gave them their desire;

Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.

He gave the increase of their fields to worms, the fruits of their industry to the locusts.

He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.

He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.

He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.

So he gave them food with an upright heart, guiding them by the wisdom of his hands.

He gave it to Joseph as a witness, when he went out over the land of Egypt; then the words of a strange tongue were sounding in my ears.

You gave a cry in your trouble, and I made you free; I gave you an answer in the secret place of the thunder; I put you to the test at the waters of Meribah. (Selah.)

So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.

The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.

Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them.

You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing.

He gave knowledge of his way to Moses, and made his acts clear to the children of Israel.

He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.
