⁴ Delight thou in the LORD, and he shall give thee thy heart's desire.

²⁸ Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, "O woman great is thy faith, be it to thee, even as thou desirest." And her daughter was made whole even at that same hour.

¹³ And whatsoever ye ask in my name, that will I do, that the father might be glorified by the son. ¹⁴ If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.

²⁸ And they went to Ophir and fetched from thence gold, to the sum of four hundred and twenty two talents, and brought it to Solomon.

¹³ The sum of gold that came to Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold, ¹⁴ besides that which chapmen and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and dukes of countries brought gold and silver to Solomon. ¹⁵ And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of gold, six hundred sicles of beaten gold to a buckler; ¹⁶ and three hundred shields of beaten gold, three hundred sicles of gold to a shield; and he put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. ¹⁷ And the king made a great seat of Ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. ¹⁸ And there were six steps to the seat with a footstool of gold fastened to the seat: and pommels on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the pommels. ¹⁹ And twelve lions stood one side and on the other, upon six steps, and there was no such in any kingdom. ²⁰ And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were pure gold. And as for silver, it was counted nothing worth in the days of Solomon. ²¹ For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram once every three years. And the ships of Tarshish brought gold, silver, the teeth of elephants, apes and peacocks. ²² And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. ²³ And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart. ²⁴ And they brought every man his present in vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, sweet odours, horses and mules year by year. ²⁵ And Solomon had four thousand mangers of horses and chariots for them, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he bestowed them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. ²⁶ And he reigned over all the kings from Euphrates unto the land of the Philistines and to the borders of Egypt. ²⁷ And the king made silver in Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and Cedar trees as plenteous as the mulberry trees that grow in the valleys. ²⁸ And Solomon had horses brought him out of Egypt and out of all lands.

²⁴ In four quarters were the keepers: toward the east, west, north and south.

¹³ The sum of gold that came to Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold, ¹⁴ besides that which chapmen and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and dukes of countries brought gold and silver to Solomon.

²⁵ — For mount Sinai is called Hagar in Arabia, and bordereth upon the city which is now Jerusalem — and is in bondage with her children.

²⁶ and took away the treasure of the house of the LORD, and the treasure of the king's house and all that was to be had. And he took away the shields of gold which Solomon made. ²⁷ In whose stead, king Rehoboam made brazen shields and put them in the keeping of the captains of the guard which waited at the door of the king's house. ²⁸ And as oft as the king went in to the house of the LORD, they of his guard bare them, and ever brought them again into the guard chamber.

¹⁵ And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of gold, six hundred sicles of beaten gold to a buckler; ¹⁶ and three hundred shields of beaten gold, three hundred sicles of gold to a shield; and he put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

⁹ And Shishak king of Egypt came to Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and shortly he took all.

²² For the sea ships which the king had in the sea, with the ships of Hiram, came every third year laden with gold, silver, ivory, apes and peacocks.

¹⁷ And the king made a great seat of Ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. ¹⁸ And there were six steps to the seat with a footstool of gold fastened to the seat: and pommels on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the pommels. ¹⁹ And twelve lions stood one side and on the other, upon six steps, and there was no such in any kingdom.

⁶ Thy seat, O God, endureth forever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter.

⁸ All thy garments smell of myrrh, aloes and cassia, when thou comest out of thine ivory palaces in thy beautiful glory.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

⁵ For there is the seat of judgment, even the seat of the house of David.

⁶ and the Oaks of Bashan to make the rowers. Thy boards have they made of ivory, and of costly wood out of the Isle of Chittim.

⁴ Ye that lie upon beds of ivory, and use your wantonness upon your couches; ye that eat the best lambs of the flock, and the fattest calves of the drove;

³ Which son, being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the righthand of the majesty on high,

⁸ But unto the son he saith, "God, thy seat shall be forever, and ever. The sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

¹² the ware of gold and silver, and precious stones, neither of pearl, and raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and of iron,

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found.

⁹ Judah is a lion's whelp. From spoil, my son, thou art come on high: he laid him down and couched himself as a lion, and as a lioness. Who dare stir him up?

²⁴ Behold, the people shall rise up as a lioness and heave up himself as a lion; and shall not lie down again, until he have eaten of the prey and drunk of the blood of them that are slain!"

⁹ He couched himself and lay down as a lion and as a lioness; who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee."

⁵ And one of the elders said unto me, "Weep not. Behold, a lion being of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath obtained to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."

¹⁷ And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold, three pounds of gold going to a piece, and put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.

²⁰ And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were pure gold. And as for silver, it was counted nothing worth in the days of Solomon. ²¹ For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram once every three years. And the ships of Tarshish brought gold, silver, the teeth of elephants, apes and peacocks. ²² And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

²¹ For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram once every three years. And the ships of Tarshish brought gold, silver, the teeth of elephants, apes and peacocks.

³⁶ And he coupled himself with him, to make ships to go to Tarshish. And they made the ships in Eziongeber. ³⁷ And Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works." And the ships were broken that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

¹³ "Gavest thou the fair wings unto the peacocks, or wings and feathers unto the Ostrich?

⁷ Thou shalt break the ships of the sea, through the east wind.

¹⁶ upon all ships of Tarshish, and upon everything that is glorious and pleasant to look upon.

¹ The burden of Tyre. Mourn, ye ships of Tarshish, for there cometh such destruction that ye shall not have a house to enter into. Out of the land of Chittim they have knowledge of this plague.

⁶ Get you to Tarshish; mourn ye that dwell in the Isles.

¹⁰ Go through thy land, O thou daughter of the sea, as men go over the water; for thou hast no more strength.

⁹ The isles also shall gather them unto me, and especially the ships of the sea: that they may bring the sons from far, and their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, unto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorified thee.

¹⁹ Unto them shall I give a token, and send certain of them that be delivered among the Gentiles: into Tarshish, Put and Lud, where men can handle bows; into Tubal also and Javan. The isles far off, that have not heard speak of me, and have not seen my glory, shall preach my praise among the Gentiles

¹² Tarshish occupied with thee in all manner of wares: in silver, iron, tin and lead, and made thy market great.

¹⁵ As for the winter house and summer house, I will smite them down: and the houses of Ivory, yea and many other houses shall perish, and be destroyed,' sayeth the LORD."

³ And Jonah made him ready to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and gat him down to Joppa, and found there a ship ready to go to Tarshish, and paid his fare, and went aboard, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

¹² see, I have done according to thy petition. And behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there was none like thee before, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. ¹³ And thereto I have given thee that thou askedst not, both riches and honour: so that there shall be no king like thee all thy days.

²⁹ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much and a large heart, even as the sand along by the sea bank: ³⁰ so that Solomon's wisdom exceeded the wisdom of all them of the East country and all the wisdom of the Egyptians. ³¹ And he excelled all men in wisdom, both Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Calcol and Darda the sons of Mahol. And his name spread abroad among all nations on every side. ³² And Solomon wrote three thousand proverbs. And his songs were a thousand and five. ³³ And he disputed of trees, even from the Cedar tree that groweth in Lebanon unto the Hyssop that springeth out of the wall. And he disputed of beasts, fowls, worms, and fishes. ³⁴ And there came of all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all kings of the earth which had heard of his wisdom.

²² And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. ²³ And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.

²⁷ And I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

⁸ Unto me, the least of all saints, is this grace given; that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, that is, to wit, of the congregation: he is the beginning and first begotten of the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence. ¹⁹ For it pleased the father that in him should all fullness dwell,

² that their hearts might be comforted and knit together in love, and in all riches of full understanding, for to know the mystery of God the father and of Christ: ³ in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

⁹ Give therefore unto thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, and to discern between good, and bad. For who is able to judge this, thy so weighty a people?"

⁶ For it is the LORD that giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

¹⁷ God gave now these four springaldes cunning and learning in all scripture and wisdom: but unto Daniel specially, he gave understanding of all visions and dreams.

²¹ He changeth the times and ages; he putteth down kings, he setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and understanding to those that understand;

²³ I thank thee, and pray thee, O thou God of my fathers, that thou hast lent me wisdom and strength, and hast showed me the thing that we desired of thee, for thou hast opened the king's matter unto me."

¹¹ For why? There is a man in thy kingdom, that hath the spirit of the holy gods within him, as it was seen in thy father's days. He hath understanding and wisdom like the gods; Yea, the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father made this man chief of the soothsayers, charmers, Chaldeans and devil conjurers:

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, which giveth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth; and it shall be given him.

²⁴ These were the children of Zibeon: Aia and Anah; this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed his father Zibeon's asses.

¹⁵ And then they cried unto the LORD. And the LORD stirred them up a saver, Ehud the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, a man that could do nothing handsomely with his right hand. And when the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of the Moabites,

²⁷ But the children of Belial said, "How shall he save us?" And despised him and brought him not presents. And he made as though he had not heard it.

² And he beat the Moabites and measured them with a line, making them lie along the earth; so that he brought two parts of them to death, and let one part live. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and paid tribute.

¹⁰ he sent Joram his son unto king David to salute him with peace and to bless him because he had fought against Hadadezer and beaten him — for Toi kept war with Hadadezer — which son brought vessels of silver, gold and of brass with him.

³³ the king said unto them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and set Solomon my son upon mine own mule and carry him down to Gihon.

⁵ And Ahab said unto Obadiah, "Walk through the land, unto all fountains of water and unto all brooks, to see whether any grass may be found that we may save the horses and the mules, that we destroy not the beasts."

⁴ And the king of Assyria found treason in Hoshea, because he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and sent no presents unto the king of Assyria, as he was yearly wont to do. Therefore the king of Assyria besieged him and put him in prison.

²⁴ And they brought every man his present in vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, sweet odours, horses and mules year by year.

⁸ And the Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah, and his name spread abroad even to Egypt: for he played the man and exceeded.

⁶⁶ seven hundred and six and thirty horses, two hundred and five and forty mules,

¹⁰ And it was written in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed with the king's ring. And by posts that rode upon swift young Mules, sent he the writings,

¹⁴ And the posts that rode upon the Mules made haste with all speed, according to the king's word: and the commandment was devised in the castle of Susa.

¹¹ And then came there unto him all his brethren, all his sisters, with all them that had been of his acquaintance afore, and ate bread with him in his house: wondering at him, and comforting him over all the trouble that the LORD had brought upon him. Every man gave him a sheep and a Jewel of gold.

¹⁶ But thus sayeth the king of Assyria, 'Obtain my favour, incline to me: so may every man enjoy his vineyards and fig trees, and drink the water of his cistern:

²⁰ and shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD: out of all people, upon horses, chariots and horse litters, upon Mules and carts to Jerusalem my holy hill, sayeth the LORD, like as the children of Israel bring the offering in clean vessels to the house of the LORD.

¹⁴ They of the house of Togarmah brought unto thee at the time of thy mart, horse, horsemen and mules.

¹⁶ But in any wise let him not hold too many horses, that he bring not the people again to Egypt through the multitude of horses, forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, 'Ye shall henceforth go no more again that way.'

²⁶ And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for chariots and twelve thousand horsemen.

¹⁹ and all the store cities that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen and all that his lust was to build in Jerusalem and Lebanon and in all the land of his kingdom.

¹⁴ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: that he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he bestowed in the chariot cities and about the king at Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees as plenty as the mulberry trees that grow in the valleys. ¹⁶ And the horses which Solomon had, were brought him out of Egypt from Kue. The king's merchants fetched them out at Kue at a price. ¹⁷ They came and brought out of Egypt a chariot for five hundred sicles, and a horse for one hundred and fifty. And so brought they to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria through the hands of the said merchants.

²⁵ And Solomon had four thousand mangers of horses and chariots for them, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he bestowed them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

⁷ As soon as your land was full of silver and gold, and no end of your treasure; so soon as your land was full of strong horses and no end of your chariots:

¹⁷ Also he shall not have too many wives, lest his heart turn away, neither shall he gather him silver and gold too much.

²⁷ And the king made silver in Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and Cedar trees as plenteous as the mulberry trees that grow in the valleys.

²⁴ He shall give thee a harvest, which in plenty and abundance shall exceed the dust of the earth, and the gold of Ophir like river stones. ²⁵ Yea, the Almighty his own self shall be thine harvest, and the heap of thy money.

⁴² And he took off his ring from his finger, and put it upon Joseph's finger, and he arrayed him in raiment of byss, and put a golden chain about his neck,

²⁸ And Solomon had horses brought him out of Egypt and out of all lands.

¹⁶ I have decked my bed with coverings and clothes of Egypt.

⁹ Such as labour upon flax and silk, shall come to poverty, and they also that weave fine works.

¹ Woe be unto them that go down into Egypt for help, and trust in horses, and comfort themselves in chariots, because they be many, and in horsemen because they be lusty and strong. But they regard not the holy one of Israel, and they ask no question at the LORD. ² Whereas he nevertheless plagueth the wicked, and yet goeth not from his word, when he steppeth forth, and taketh the victory against the household of the froward, and against the help of evil doers. ³ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit. And as soon as the LORD stretcheth out his hand: then shall the helper fall, and he that should have been helped, and they shall all together be destroyed.

⁹ Seeing now that thou canst not resist the power of the smallest prince that my LORD hath, how darest thou trust in the chariots and horsemen of Egypt?

⁷ Thy sail was of white small needle work out of the land of Egypt, to hang upon thy mast: and thy hangings of yellow silk and purple, out of the Isles of Elishah.

⁴ from the wilderness and this Lebanon unto the great river Euphrates; and all the land of the Hittites, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coasts.

⁶ For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses, and the noise of a great Host. Insomuch that they said one to another, "See, the king of Israel hath hired against us, the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt, to come upon us." ⁷ And upon that they arose and fled in the dark, and left their tents, their horses, their asses and the field they had pitched even as it was, and fled for their lives.

¹⁰ I have spoken through the prophets, and showed divers visions, and declared myself by the ministration of the prophets.

¹ The heavy burden, which the LORD showeth against Israel by Malachi.
