'Insist' in the Bible

But the king said to Araunah, "No, I insist on buying it from you! I will not offer to the Lord my God burnt sacrifices that cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty pieces of silver.

So the Lord said to Solomon, "Because you insist on doing these things and have not kept the covenantal rules I gave you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

King David replied to Ornan, "No, I insist on buying it for top price. I will not offer to the Lord what belongs to you or offer a burnt sacrifice that cost me nothing.

Why do you insist on being battered? Why do you continue to rebel? Your head has a massive wound, your whole body is weak.

So I say this, and insist in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently.

This saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people.
