So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.

Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

And Asa, hearing these words of Azariah, the son of Oded the prophet, took heart and put away all the disgusting things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the towns which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he made new again the altar of the Lord in front of the covered way of the Lord's house.

And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.

And their father gave them much silver and gold and things of great value, as well as walled towns in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, because he was the oldest.

For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.

He gave himself to searching after God in the days of Zechariah, who made men wise in the fear of God; and as long as he was true to the Lord, God made things go well for him.

And those men who have been named went up and took the prisoners, clothing those among them who were uncovered, with things from the goods which had been taken in the war, and putting robes on them and shoes on their feet; and they gave them food and drink and oil for their bodies, and seating all the feeble among them on asses, they took them to Jericho, the town of palm-trees, to their people, and then went back to Samaria.

And the holy things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.

The first store of things was put down in the third month, and in the seventh month the masses were complete.

And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.

And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.

And for everything he undertook, in connection with the work of the house of God and his law and orders, he got directions from God and did it with serious purpose; and things went well for him.

Now after these things and this true-hearted work, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came into Judah, and put his army in position before the walled towns of Judah, designing to make his way into them by force.

These things they said, crying out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, with the purpose of troubling them and putting fear into them, so that they might take the town;

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.

And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by Urim and Thummim.

Now because we are responsible to the king, and it is not right for us to see the king's honour damaged, we have sent to give the king word of these things,

Then Darius the king gave an order and a search was made in the house of the records, where the things of value were stored up in Babylon.

Now after these things, when Artaxerxes was king of Persia, Ezra, the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,

Now after these things were done, the captains came to me and said, The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands, but have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

Are we again to go against your orders, taking wives from among the people who do these disgusting things? would you not be angry with us till our destruction was complete, till there was not one who got away safe?

And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.

Then I sent to him, saying, No such things as you say are being done, they are only a fiction you have made up yourself.

And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by the Urim and Thummim.

You are the Lord, even you only; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their armies, the earth and all things in it, the seas and everything in them; and you keep them from destruction: and the armies of heaven are your worshippers.

And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them.

For they have not been your servants in their kingdom, and in all the good things you gave them, and in the great and fat land you gave them, and they have not been turned away from their evil-doing.

And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.

And they kept the watch of their God, and were responsible for making things clean, and so did the music-makers and the door-keepers, as it was ordered by David and Solomon his son.

And I made controllers over the store-houses, Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and with them was Hanan, the son of Zaccur the son of Mattaniah: they were taken to be true men and their business was the distribution of these things to their brothers.

Was it not in these things that Solomon, king of Israel, did wrong? among a number of nations there was no king like him, and he was dear to his God, and God made him king over all Israel: but even he was made to do evil by strange women.

After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.

Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;

And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.

Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):

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.

As days on which the Jews had rest from their haters, and the month which for them was turned from sorrow to joy, and from weeping to a good day: and that they were to keep them as days of feasting and joy, of sending offerings to one another and good things to the poor.

Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:

My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.

How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.

But you kept these things in the secret of your heart; I am certain this was in your thoughts:

But I have a mind as well as you; I am equal to you: yes, who has not knowledge of such things as these?

Or to the things which go flat on the earth, and they will give you wisdom; and the fishes of the sea will give you news of it.

Uncovering deep things out of the dark, and making the deep shade bright;

The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you.

But you put a false face on things; all your attempts to put things right are of no value.

Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:

For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;

(The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;

Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.

It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:

Be in fear of the sword, for the sword is the punishment for such things, so that you may be certain that there is a judge.

There is no peace for him in his wealth, and no salvation for him in those things in which he took delight.

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

Though he made their houses full of good things: but the purpose of the evil-doers is far from me!

He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.

For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.

Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,

He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;

O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah.)

You have made him ruler over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet;

For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.

My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

I will send up my cry to the Most High God; to God who does all things for me.

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

Happy is the man of your selection, to whom you give a resting-place in your house; we will be full of the good things out of your holy place.

Those whose resting-place was there, even the poor, were comforted by your good things, O God.

O God, send out your strength; the strength, O God, with which you have done great things for us,

I am on fire with passion for your house; and the hard things which are said about you have come on me.

Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?

Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.

Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah.)

I will be true to my agreement; the things which have gone out of my lips will not be changed.

You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,

Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.

He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.

O Lord, how great is the number of your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of the things you have made.

There is the great, wide sea, where there are living things, great and small, more than may be numbered.

They take what you give them; they are full of the good things which come from your open hand.
