'Given' in the Bible

Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.

Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.

After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

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.

In the first month, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, from day to day and from month to month they went on looking for a sign given by Pur (that is chance) before Haman, till the sign came out for the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.

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 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 while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.

And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.

And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:

For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.

Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.

A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.

So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.

On that day the number of those who had been put to death in the town of Shushan was given to the king.

And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have put five hundred men to death in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman: what then have they done in the rest of the kingdom! Now what is your prayer? for it will be given to you; what other request have you? and it will be done.

Then Esther said, If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.

And the king said that this was to be done, and the order was given out in Shushan, and the hanging of Haman's ten sons was effected.

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

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

He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.

A word was given to me secretly, and the low sound of it came to my ears.

He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all.

So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.

The land is given into the power of the evil-doer; the faces of its judges are covered; if not by him, then who has done it?

If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;

For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)

But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

My relations and my near friends have given me up, and those living in my house have put me out of their minds.

The produce of his house is taken away into another country, like things given into the hands of others in the day of wrath.

This is the reward of the evil man, and the heritage given to him by God.

Why is life given to the evil-doers? why do they become old and strong in power?

How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!

How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!

This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all.

Gold may not be given for it, or a weight of silver in payment for it.

For what is God's reward from on high, or the heritage given by the Ruler of all from heaven?

And if he has mercy on him, and says, Let him not go down to the underworld, I have given the price for his life:

Have you, from your earliest days, given orders to the morning, or made the dawn conscious of its place;

Who has put wisdom in the high clouds, or given knowledge to the lights of the north?

To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.

For God has taken wisdom from her mind, and given her no measure of knowledge.

I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

Go from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has given ear to the voice of my weeping.

The Lord has given ear to my request; the Lord has let my prayer come before him.

If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.

And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.

The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:

How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.

Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.

You have given me the breastplate of your salvation: your right hand has been my support, and your mercy has made me great.

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah.)

For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.

For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

I had almost given up my hope of seeing the blessing of the Lord in the land of the living.

May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.

I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.

In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

I have given news of righteousness in the great meeting; O Lord, you have knowledge that I have not kept back my words.

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.

By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

You have given your blessing to the earth, watering it and making it fertile; the river of God is full of water: and having made it ready, you give men grain.

The earth has given her increase; and God, even our God, will give us his blessing.

Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.

I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.

Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.

May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.

They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.

Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.

Mercy and faith have come together; righteousness and peace have given one another a kiss.

O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:

All his walls are broken down; you have given his strong towers to destruction.

You have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.

If you send out your spirit, they are given life; you make new the face of the earth.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:

For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.

Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.

He has given food to his worshippers; he will keep his agreement in mind for ever.

He has sent salvation to his people; he has given his word for ever: holy is his name and greatly to be feared.

He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name let glory be given, because of your mercy and your unchanging faith.

The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.

I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer.

Come back to your rest, O my soul; for the Lord has given you your reward.

The hand of Jah has been hard on me; but he has not given me up to death.

I will give you praise, for you have given me an answer, and have become my salvation.
