'Promised' in the Bible

and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:

whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, 'Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;'

Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?
