  • Judg 11:1-9 : 1 Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was his father. 2 Gilead's wife also bore him sons, and when they grew up, they drove Jephthah away, saying, 'You will have no inheritance in our father's house because you are the son of another woman.' 3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob. Men who were worthless gathered around Jephthah and went out with him. 4 After some time, the Ammonites made war against Israel. 5 When the Ammonites fought against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. 6 They said to Jephthah, 'Come and be our leader so we can fight against the Ammonites.' 7 But Jephthah said to them, 'Didn’t you hate me and drive me out of my father’s house? Why do you come to me now when you’re in trouble?' 8 The elders of Gilead replied, 'That is why we have now turned to you. Come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.' 9 Jephthah answered, 'If you bring me back to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord gives them to me, will I really become your head?' 10 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'The Lord is our witness; we will certainly do as you say.' 11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him their head and commander. Jephthah repeated all his words before the Lord in Mizpah. 12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, asking, 'What do you have against me that you have come to fight against my land?'
  • Judg 13:1-9 : 1 The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord handed them over to the Philistines for forty years. 2 There was a certain man from Zorah, from the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. His wife was barren and had no children. 3 The angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have not had children, but you will conceive and give birth to a son." 4 Now therefore, be careful! Do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean. 5 For you will conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor is to touch his head, because the boy will be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth. He will begin to rescue Israel from the power of the Philistines. 6 Then the woman went to her husband and told him, "A man of God came to me. His appearance was like that of an angel of God, very awe-inspiring. I did not ask him where he was from, and he did not tell me his name. 7 But he said to me, 'Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. Now, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, for the boy will be a Nazirite to God from the womb until the day of his death.' 8 Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, saying, "Please, Lord, let the man of God you sent come back to us and teach us what we are to do with the boy who is to be born." 9 God listened to Manoah’s prayer, and the angel of God came again to the woman while she was sitting in the field. But her husband Manoah was not with her. 10 The woman hurried and ran to tell her husband, saying to him, "Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me again." 11 Manoah got up, followed his wife, and came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to my wife?" And he said, "I am." 12 Then Manoah said, "Now, when your words come true, what will be the rules for the boy's life and work?" 13 The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "The woman must obey everything I told her. 14 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I commanded her." 15 Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, "Please stay here, and we will prepare a young goat for you." 16 The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "Even if you detain me, I will not eat your food. But if you prepare a burnt offering, you must offer it to the Lord." (Manoah did not know he was an angel of the Lord.)
  • 1 Sam 3:1-9 : 1 The young boy Samuel was serving the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; visions were not widespread. 2 One day, Eli was lying in his usual place. His eyesight had begun to grow dim, so he could not see well. 3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. 4 Then the Lord called to Samuel, and he answered, "Here I am!" 5 Samuel ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down." So Samuel went and lay down again. 6 The Lord called Samuel again. Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call, my son. Go back and lie down." 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. 8 The Lord called Samuel a third time, and he got up and went to Eli, saying, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. 9 So Eli said to Samuel, "Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, 'Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 The Lord came, stood there, and called as he had before: "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening." 11 The Lord said to Samuel, "Look, I am going to do something in Israel that will cause everyone who hears about it to tremble. 12 On that day I will carry out everything I have spoken against Eli’s house, from beginning to end.
  • Acts 2:29-31 : 29 “Fellow Israelites, I can confidently say to you that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet and knowing that God had sworn an oath to him that He would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.

  • 1 Pet 1:10-12 : 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that would come to you searched and investigated carefully. 11 They inquired into what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when He testified beforehand about the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been announced to you by those who preached the gospel to you through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things even angels long to look into.

  • Acts 13:22-36 : 22 After removing him, He raised up David to be their king, about whom He testified, 'I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.' 23 From the descendants of this man, according to His promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus. 24 Before His coming, John had already proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. 25 As John was finishing his course, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, One is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.' 26 Brothers, children of Abraham's lineage, and you who fear God, this message of salvation has been sent to us. 27 The people living in Jerusalem and their rulers, not recognizing Him or the words of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him. 28 Though they found no basis for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed. 29 When they had fulfilled all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb. 30 But God raised Him from the dead. 31 He appeared for many days to those who had come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people. 32 We bring you the good news that what God promised to our ancestors. 33 He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm, 'You are My Son; today I have begotten You.' 34 And concerning the fact that He raised Him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, He said, 'I will give you the holy and faithful promises made to David.' 35 So it is also stated elsewhere: 'You will not let Your Holy One see decay.' 36 For David, after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, fell asleep, was buried with his ancestors, and saw decay.

  • Judg 4:1-6:8 : 1 The Israelites again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD after Ehud had died. 2 So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin, king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor, and the commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim. 3 The Israelites cried out to the LORD for help, for Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the Israelites cruelly for twenty years. 4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. 5 She would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites came up to her for judgment. 6 She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, "Has not the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded you: 'Go, lead ten thousand men from Naphtali and Zebulun to Mount Tabor'"? 7 "I will draw Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his horde to the Kishon River and deliver him into your hand." 8 Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go." 9 She said, "I will certainly go with you. However, the honor will not be yours on the journey you are about to take, for the LORD will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman." So Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh. 10 Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and ten thousand men followed him on foot, and Deborah went up with him. 11 Meanwhile, Heber the Kenite had separated from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent near the great tree in Zaanannim, which is beside Kedesh. 12 When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor, 13 Sisera summoned all his chariots—nine hundred chariots made of iron—and all his troops who were with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the Kishon River. 14 Then Deborah said to Barak, "Get up! This is the day the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him. 15 The LORD threw Sisera, all his chariots, and his entire army into confusion before Barak by the edge of the sword. Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot. 16 Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth-hagoyim, and the entire army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left. 17 Meanwhile, Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite. 18 Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come, my lord, come right in. Don't be afraid." So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket. 19 He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a skin of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again. 20 He said to her, "Stand at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes and asks you, 'Is there a man here?' say, 'No.'" 21 But Jael, the wife of Heber, picked up a tent peg and a hammer, and she went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground—and he died. 22 Just then, Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him. She said, "Come, and I will show you the man you're looking for." So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera with the tent peg through his temple—dead. 23 On that day God subdued Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the Israelites. 24 And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they destroyed him. 1 On that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang this song: 2 When the leaders in Israel take charge, when the people willingly offer themselves—praise the Lord! 3 Listen, kings! Pay attention, rulers! I will sing to the Lord; I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel. 4 O Lord, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the fields of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens poured down, the clouds poured down water. 5 The mountains melted before the Lord, even Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel. 6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths. 7 Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel. 8 When they chose new gods, then war came to the city gates. Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel. 9 My heart is with Israel’s commanders, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the Lord! 10 You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on rich carpets, and you who walk along the road, think about this: 11 The voices of the archers at the watering places recount the righteous acts of the Lord, the righteous acts of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the city gates. 12 Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak! Take captive your captives, son of Abinoam. 13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty. 14 From Ephraim came those whose roots were in Amalek; Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Machir, commanders marched down; from Zebulun, those who wield the staff of office. 15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yes, Issachar was with Barak, sent into the valley under his command. In the districts of Reuben, there was much searching of heart. 16 Why did you stay among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben, there was much searching of heart. 17 Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the seashore and stayed in his coves. 18 Zebulun risked his life to the point of death, and Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield. 19 Kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver. 20 From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses, they fought against Sisera. 21 The river Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul, in strength! 22 Then the hoofs of horses hammered—galloping, galloping of their mighty steeds. 23 'Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the Lord. 'Curse its inhabitants bitterly, because they did not come to help the Lord, to help the Lord against the mighty.' 24 Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women. 25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles, she brought him curd. 26 She reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman's hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple. 27 At her feet he sank, he fell, there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell—dead. 28 Through the window peered Sisera's mother; behind the lattice she cried out, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?' 29 Her wisest ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself, 30 'Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a girl or two for each man, colorful garments for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck—all this as plunder?' 31 So may all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But may those who love You be like the sun when it rises in its strength. And the land was at peace for forty years. 1 The Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord handed them over to Midian for seven years. 2 Midian's power overwhelmed Israel, and because of Midian, the Israelites made hiding places for themselves in the mountains, caves, and strongholds. 3 Whenever the Israelites planted crops, the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people of the east would come up and attack them. 4 They camped against them and destroyed the crops of the land all the way to Gaza, leaving nothing for the Israelites to live on—not even sheep, cattle, or donkeys. 5 For they came with their livestock and tents, like swarms of locusts in number. Both they and their camels were too many to count, and they invaded the land to devastate it. 6 So Israel was brought very low because of Midian, and the Israelites cried out to the Lord for help. 7 When the Israelites cried out to the Lord because of Midian, 8 the Lord sent a prophet to the Israelites, who said to them, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt and out of the house of slavery.
  • Judg 6:11 : 11 Then the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth tree in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.
  • 1 Sam 17:1-9 : 1 The Philistines gathered their armies for battle and assembled at Socoh, which belongs to Judah. They camped between Socoh and Azekah, at Ephes-dammim. 2 Saul and the men of Israel also gathered and camped in the Valley of Elah, arranging themselves for battle against the Philistines. 3 The Philistines stood on one hill, and Israel stood on another hill, with the valley between them. 4 Then a champion emerged from the Philistine camp, named Goliath, from Gath. His height was six cubits and a span. 5 He wore a bronze helmet on his head and a coat of scale armor that weighed five thousand shekels of bronze. 6 He also wore bronze greaves on his legs and carried a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders. 7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels. His shield-bearer went ahead of him. 8 Goliath stood and called out to the ranks of Israel, saying, 'Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.' 9 If he is able to fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us. 10 The Philistine continued, 'I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man so we can fight each other.' 11 When Saul and all Israel heard the words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid. 12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite man named Jesse from Bethlehem in Judah. Jesse had eight sons, and in Saul's time, he was old and advanced in years. 13 Jesse's three oldest sons had followed Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn; Abinadab, the second; and Shammah, the third. 14 David was the youngest, and the three oldest had followed Saul. 15 But David went back and forth from Saul to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem. 16 The Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand for forty days. 17 Jesse said to his son David, 'Take this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp.' 18 Also take these ten cuts of cheese to the commander of their unit. Check on the well-being of your brothers and bring back some assurance from them.
  • 1 Sam 28:3-9 : 3 Now Samuel had died, and all Israel mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his hometown. Meanwhile, Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land. 4 The Philistines gathered and camped at Shunem, while Saul assembled all Israel, and they camped at Gilboa. 5 When Saul saw the Philistine camp, he was terrified, and his heart trembled greatly. 6 Saul inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him, neither by dreams, nor by the Urim, nor through the prophets. 7 Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, so I can go and consult her." His servants replied, "There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor." 8 So Saul disguised himself by wearing other clothes. He went, accompanied by two men, and they came to the woman at night. Saul said, "Consult a spirit for me and bring up for me the one I name to you." 9 The woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you setting a trap for my life to bring about my death?" 10 Saul swore to her by the LORD, "As surely as the LORD lives, you will not be punished for this." 11 Then the woman asked, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" Saul answered, "Bring up Samuel for me." 12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice and said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!" 13 The king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What do you see?" The woman said to Saul, "I see a spirit coming up out of the earth." 14 Saul asked her, "What does he look like?" She replied, "An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped in a robe." Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground in reverence. 15 Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed. The Philistines are waging war against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, not by prophets or by dreams. Therefore, I have called upon you to tell me what I should do." 16 Samuel said, "Why do you consult me, now that the LORD has turned away from you and has become your enemy? 17 The LORD has done as he spoke through me. He has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David. 18 Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD or carry out his fierce wrath against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today. 19 Moreover, the LORD will deliver Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines. Tomorrow, you and your sons will be with me, and the LORD will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines. 20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, paralyzed with fear because of Samuel's words. There was no strength left in him, for he had not eaten anything all day and all night. 21 When the woman came to Saul and saw that he was greatly distressed, she said to him, "Behold, your servant has obeyed you. I have taken my life in my hands and done as you requested. 22 Now please listen to your servant and let me set a piece of bread before you to eat, so you may have strength when you go on your way." 23 But he refused and said, "I will not eat." However, his servants together with the woman urged him, and he listened to them. He got up from the ground and sat on the bed. 24 The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried to slaughter it. Then she took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread. 25 She served it to Saul and his servants, and they ate. Afterward, they got up and left that night.
