Even back when Saul was ruling as king, you kept on leading the army of Israel out to battle and bringing them in again. The LORD your God told you, "You yourself will shepherd my people Israel and will be Commander-in-Chief over my people Israel.'"

Here's a list of those who came to David at Ziklag when he was unable to travel freely due to Saul son of Kish. They were among the elite soldiers who assisted him in battle.

Equipped as archers, they could use both their right and left hands to shoot arrows and hurl stones. As descendants of Benjamin, they were Saul's relatives.

So David received them and assigned them to be officers over troops. Some of the descendants of Manasseh joined David when he was going to fight against Saul, accompanied by the Philistines. Even so, David was of no help to them, because the Philistine rulers were counseled to send him away. They told themselves, "He's going to go over to his master Saul at the cost of our heads."

What follows is a listing of the divisions of battle-ready troops who joined David in Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, in accordance with what the LORD had spoken.

The tribe of Benjamin, relatives of Saul numbered 3,000, of whom most had remained allied to what remained of Saul's dynasty.

Then let's bring the Ark of God back to us, because we didn't consult it during Saul's reign."

But as the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD approached the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal was peering out a window, watching King David dancing and cavorting around, and she despised him in her heart.

Furthermore, everything that Samuel the seer, Kish's son Saul, Ner's son Abner, and Zeruiah's son Joab had dedicated all of their dedicated gifts were under the care of Shelomoth and his brothers.

Chelub's son Ezri supervised the field workers who tilled the soil.

"Now as for you, my son Solomon, get to know the God of your father. Serve him with a sound heart and a devoted soul, because the LORD is searching every heart, every plan and thought. He will be found by you, assuming you are seeking him, but if you abandon him, he will abandon you forever.

then hear from heaven, forgive the sin of your people Israel, and return them to the soil that you gave to them and to their ancestors.

if they return to you with all of their heart and with all of their soul in the land where they have been taken captive, as they pray in the direction of their land that you have given to their ancestors and to the city that you have chosen, and to the Temple that I have built for your name,

They also entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their ancestors with all their heart and soul,

He also agreed with King Ahaziah to build ships to sail toward Tarshish, which they built in Ezion-geber.

But Dodavahu's son Eliezer from Mareshah prophesied in opposition to Jehoshaphat, "Because you have entered into an alliance with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your efforts." So the ships were destroyed and were never able to sail for Tarshish.

While standing in his appointed place, the king made a public covenant with the LORD to follow the LORD, to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes, and to do so with all of his heart and soul, and to carry out what was written in the covenant contained in the book.

They would not listen, and did not remember the miracles you did among them. Instead, they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return them to their slavery. "But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in gracious love; therefore you did not abandon them.

You sustained them in the wilderness for 40 years. They lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell.

As for the people of the land who bring merchandise or grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day. We will forego planting crops, and we will cancel debts during every seventh year."

Meshullam's son Sallu, who was the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah; and after him Gabbai and Sallai, numbering 928.

Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, and Jedaiah. These were the leaders of the priests and their associates in the time of Jeshua.

of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

The king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and all that Haman commanded was written to the regional authorities of the king, to the governors who were over each province, and to the officials of each people. This order was translated in the name of King Ahasuerus into the language of each province and bore the seal of the king's signet ring.

Now, in the name of the king, you write what seems good to you concerning the Jewish people, and seal it with the king's signet ring, for a document written in the king's name and sealed with the king's signet ring cannot be revoked."

So Satan left the LORD's presence and struck Job with terrible boils from the sole of his feet to the top of his head.

It's been my experience that those who plow the soil of iniquity and those who sow the seed of trouble will reap their harvest!

For wrath will slay a fool; zealous anger will kill the naive.

"In addition, I won't keep my opinion to myself; I'll speak from my distressed spirit; I'll complain with my bitter soul.

Why won't you look away from me? Why don't you leave me alone so I can swallow my saliva?

"Indeed, this is the benefit of God's way: from the soil other plants will sprout.

"I am disgusted with living, so I'm going to talk about my complaint freely. I'll speak out from the bitterness of my soul.

"As for me, I know that my Vindicator is alive; And he, the Last One, will take his stand on the soil.

He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will slay him.

Others die with a bitter soul, never having tasted the good life.

Unproductive due to poverty and hunger, they could only scratch in parched soil, devastated and desolated.

"Now, my soul pours itself out; the time of my affliction has taken control of me.

sparing his soul from the Pit and his life from violent death.

His soul is getting close to the Pit; his life is approaching its executioner."

He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit; my life will see the light.'

to bring back his soul from the Pit; to light him with the light of life."

And my soul is deeply distressed. But you, LORD, how long do I wait?

How long must I struggle in my soul at night and have sorrow in my heart during the day? How long will my enemy rise up against me?

For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, you will not allow your holy one to experience corruption.

But as for me, justified, I will behold your face; when I awake, your presence will satisfy me. To the Director: By the servant of the LORD, David, who spoke the words of this song to the LORD on the day when the LORD delivered him from the hands of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

I will lift up my soul to you, LORD.

I will rejoice and be glad in your gracious love, for you see my affliction and take note that my soul is distressed.

Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eyes have been consumed by my grief along with my soul and my body.

My soul will glorify the LORD; the humble will hear about it and rejoice.

My soul will rejoice in the LORD and be glad in his deliverance.

They paid me back evil for good; my soul mourns.

The wicked take out a sword and bend the bow, to bring down the humble and the poor to slay those who are righteous in conduct.

I once observed a wicked and oppressive person, flourishing like a green tree in native soil.

In the great congregation I have proclaimed the righteous good news. Behold, I did not seal my lips, LORD, as you know.

As an antelope pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When may I come and appear in God's presence?

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me.

My God, my soul feels depressed within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan, from the heights of Hermon, even from the foothills.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for once again I will praise him, since his presence saves me and he is my God.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will praise him once again, since his presence saves me and he is my God. To the Director: An instruction of the Sons of Korah.

Then you will be pleased with right sacrifices, with burnt offerings, and with whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar. To the Director: A Davidic instruction about Doeg, the Edomite, when he went to Saul and told him, "David went to the house of Abimelech."

Would that Israel's deliverance come out of Zion! When God restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad. To the Director: With stringed instruments. A Davidic instruction, when the Ziphites came and told Saul, "David is hiding among us, is he not?"

He calmly ransomed my soul from the war waged against me, for there was a vast crowd who stood against me.

For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living! To the Director: A special Davidic psalm to the tune of "Do Not Destroy," when he fled from Saul into a cave.

Wake up, my soul, wake up, lyre and harp! I will awaken at dawn.

A person will say, "Certainly, the righteous are rewarded; certainly there is a God who judges the earth." To the Director: A special Davidic psalm to the tune of "Do Not Destroy," when Saul sent men to watch the house in order to kill him.

My soul rests quietly only when it looks to God; from him comes my deliverance.

My soul, be quiet before God, for from him comes my hope.

God, you are my God! I will fervently seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you in a dry, weary, and parched land.

My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me.

Zeal for your house consumes me, and the mockeries of those who insult you fall on me.

Let neither the floodwaters overwhelm me nor let the deep swallow me up, nor the mouth of the well close over me.

Even the sparrow found a house for herself and the swallow a nest to lay her young at your altar, LORD of the Heavenly Armies, my king and God.

Bless the LORD, my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, my soul, and never forget any of his benefits:

Bless the LORD, all his creation, in all the places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, my soul. Davidic

Bless the LORD, my soul; LORD, my God, you are very great. You are clothed in splendor and majesty;

May sinners disappear from the land and the wicked live no longer. Bless the LORD, my soul! Hallelujah!

They consumed every green plant in their land, and devoured the fruit of their soil.

Return to your resting place, my soul, for the LORD treated you generously.

Indeed, you delivered my soul from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.

My soul is consumed with longing for your decrees at all times.

My soul clings to the dust; revive me according to your word.

My zeal consumes me because my enemies forget your words.

My soul treasures your decrees, and I love them deeply.

I wait for the LORD; my soul waits, and I will hope in his word.

My soul looks to the Lord more than watchmen look for the morning more, indeed, than watchmen for the morning.

How are we to sing the song of the LORD on foreign soil?

Gracious and merciful is the LORD, slow to become angry, and overflowing with gracious love.

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, my soul!

Let's swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those who go down into the Pit.

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

Whoever commits adultery with a woman is out of his mind; by doing so he corrupts his own soul.

Whoever tills his soil will have a lot to eat, but anyone who pursues fantasies lacks sense.

Fulfilled longing is sweet to the soul, but avoiding evil is detestable to the fool.

Being slow to get angry compares to great understanding as being quick-tempered compares to stupidity.

Pleasant words are honey from a honeycomb sweet to the soul and healing for the body.

A person's discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is to his credit that he ignores an offence.

"This is bad, bad," says whoever is buying but then he brags as he walks away after the sale.

The soul of the wicked craves evil; he extends no mercy to his neighbor.
