Your hands were not bound,
your feet not placed in bronze shackles.
You fell like one who falls victim to criminals.

And all the people wept over him even more.

How much more when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house on his own bed! So now, should I not require his blood from your hands and wipe you off the earth?”

David became more and more powerful, and the Lord God of Hosts was with him.

After he arrived from Hebron, David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.

and I will humble myself even more and humiliate myself. I will be honored by the slave girls you spoke about.”

What more can David say to You? You know Your servant, Lord God.

I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.

Then David said to Abishai and all his servants, “Look, my own son, my own flesh and blood, intends to take my life—how much more now this Benjaminite! Leave him alone and let him curse me; the Lord has told him to.

The battle spread over the entire region, and that day the forest claimed more people than the sword.

So David said to Abishai, “Sheba son of Bichri will do more harm to us than Absalom. Take your lord’s soldiers and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and elude us.”

Joab replied to the king, “May the Lord your God multiply the troops 100 times more than they are—while my lord the king looks on! But why does my lord the king want to do this?”

“The king’s servants have also gone to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make the name of Solomon more well known than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.’ Then the king bowed in worship on his bed.

The Lord will bring back his own blood on his head because he struck down two men more righteous and better than he, without my father David’s knowledge. With his sword, Joab murdered Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.

Solomon and all Israel with him—a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt—observed the festival at that time in the presence of the Lord our God, seven days, and seven more days—14 days.

You behaved more wickedly than all who were before you. In order to provoke Me, you have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and cast images, but you have flung Me behind your back.

Judah did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes. They provoked Him to jealous anger more than all that their ancestors had done with the sins they committed.

Omri did what was evil in the Lord’s sight; he did more evil than all who were before him.

But Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the Lord’s sight more than all who were before him.

Ahab also made an Asherah pole. Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of Yahweh here anymore? Let’s ask him.”

When they were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.”

But he replied, “There aren’t any more.” Then the oil stopped.

But his servants approached and said to him, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more should you do it when he tells you, ‘Wash and be clean’?”

Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez and said, “I gave birth to him in pain.”

David steadily grew more powerful, and the Lord of Hosts was with him.

David took more wives in Jerusalem, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.

What more can David say to You for honoring Your servant? You know Your servant.

“Notice I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the Lord—3,775 tons of gold, 37,750 tons of silver, and bronze and iron that can’t be weighed because there is so much of it. I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more to them.

These were the sons of Levi by their ancestral houses—the heads of families, according to their registration by name in the headcount—20 years old or more, who worked in the service of the Lord’s temple.

for according to the last words of David, the Levites 20 years old or more were to be counted—

Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than Ithamar’s, they were divided accordingly: 16 heads of ancestral houses were from Eleazar’s descendants, and eight heads of ancestral houses were from Ithamar’s.

King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba her every desire, whatever she asked—far more than she had brought the king. Then she, along with her servants, returned to her own country.

Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absalom more than all his wives and concubines. He acquired 18 wives and 60 concubines and was the father of 28 sons and 60 daughters.

But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn’t there a prophet of Yahweh here anymore? Let’s ask him.”

Then Jehoshaphat and his people went to gather the plunder. They found among them an abundance of goods on the bodies and valuable items. So they stripped them until nobody could carry any more. They were gathering the plunder for three days because there was so much.

Then Amaziah gathered Judah and assembled them according to ancestral house, according to commanders of thousands, and according to commanders of hundreds. He numbered those 20 years old or more for all Judah and Benjamin. He found there to be 300,000 choice men who could serve in the army, bearing spear and shield.

Then Amaziah said to the man of God, “What should I do about the 7,500 pounds of silver I gave to Israel’s division?”

The man of God replied, “The Lord is able to give you much more than this.”

At the time of his distress, King Ahaz himself became more unfaithful to the Lord.

However, since there were not enough priests, they weren’t able to skin all the burnt offerings, so their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests were.

The whole congregation decided to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy,

“Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria or before the large army that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.

His servants said more against the Lord God and against His servant Hezekiah.

In the second month of the second year after they arrived at God’s house in Jerusalem, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers, including the priests, the Levites, and all who had returned to Jerusalem from the captivity, began to build. They appointed the Levites who were 20 years old or more to supervise the work on the Lord’s house.

They responded: “We will return these things and require nothing more from them. We will do as you say.”

So I summoned the priests and made everyone take an oath to do this.

Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah, commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.

Before this day is over, the noble women of Persia and Media who hear about the queen’s act will say the same thing to all the king’s officials, resulting in more contempt and fury.

“If it meets the king’s approval, he should personally issue a royal decree. Let it be recorded in the laws of Persia and Media, so that it cannot be revoked: Vashti is not to enter King Ahasuerus’s presence, and her royal position is to be given to another woman who is more worthy than she.

The king loved Esther more than all the other women. She won more favor and approval from him than did any of the other young women. He placed the royal crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

“What’s more,” Haman added, “Queen Esther invited no one but me to join the king at the banquet she had prepared. I am invited again tomorrow to join her with the king.

Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man the king wants to honor?”

Haman thought to himself, “Who is it the king would want to honor more than me?”

For Mordecai exercised great power in the palace, and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful.

who wait for death, but it does not come,
and search for it more than for hidden treasure,

“Can a person be more righteous than God,
or a man more pure than his Maker?”

how much more those who dwell in clay houses,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed like a moth!

My days pass more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle;
they come to an end without hope.

so man lies down never to rise again.
They will not wake up until the heavens are no more;
they will not stir from their sleep.

The eye that saw him will see him no more,
and his household will no longer see him.

I have not departed from the commands of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth
more than my daily food.

He will certainly accomplish what He has decreed for me,
and He has many more things like these in mind.

The womb forgets them;
worms feed on them;
they are remembered no more.
So injustice is broken like a tree.

He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;
when he opens his eyes, it is gone.

who gives us more understanding than the animals of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?”

Be patient with me a little longer, and I will inform you,
for there is still more to be said on God’s behalf.

So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.

You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and new wine abound.

doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed
so that men of the earth may terrify them no more.

They are more desirable than gold—
than an abundance of pure gold;
and sweeter than honey,
which comes from the honeycomb.

A little while, and the wicked person will be no more;
though you look for him, he will not be there.

Lord my God, You have done many things—
Your wonderful works and Your plans for us;
none can compare with You.
If I were to report and speak of them,
they are more than can be told.

For troubles without number have surrounded me;
my sins have overtaken me; I am unable to see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my courage leaves me.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy
more than your companions.

Those who hate me without cause
are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,
are powerful.
Though I did not steal, I must repay.

That will please Yahweh more than an ox,
more than a bull with horns and hooves.

But I will hope continually
and will praise You more and more.

May the righteous flourish in his days
and prosperity abound
until the moon is no more.

The Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
more awe-inspiring than all who surround Him.

May sinners vanish from the earth
and wicked people be no more.
My soul, praise Yahweh!
Hallelujah!

The Lord made His people very fruitful;
He made them more numerous than their foes,

I have more insight than all my teachers
because Your decrees are my meditation.

I understand more than the elders
because I obey Your precepts.

Since I love Your commands
more than gold, even the purest gold,

Show us favor, Lord, show us favor,
for we’ve had more than enough contempt.

We’ve had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud.

I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning—
more than watchmen for the morning.

for she is more profitable than silver,
and her revenue is better than gold.

She is more precious than jewels;
nothing you desire compares with her.

Instruct a wise man, and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man, and he will learn more.

When the whirlwind passes,
the wicked are no more,
but the righteous are secure forever.

One person gives freely,
yet gains more;
another withholds what is right,
only to become poor.

If the righteous will be repaid on earth,
how much more the wicked and sinful.

>

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord—
how much more, human hearts.

A rebuke cuts into a perceptive person
more than a hundred lashes into a fool.

All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
how much more do his friends
keep their distance from him!
He may pursue them with words,
but they are not there.

Doing what is righteous and just
is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable—
how much more so
when he brings it with ulterior motives!

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

One who rebukes a person will later find more favor
than one who flatters with his tongue.

Do you see a man who speaks too soon?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Let him drink so that he can forget his poverty
and remember his trouble no more.

Who can find a capable wife?
She is far more precious than jewels.
