Nabal answered David’s servants, and said,“ Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

Then Herod secretly called the wise men, and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.He sent them to Bethlehem, and said,“ Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”

Behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king,“ Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David’s men with him?”All the men of Judah answered the men of Israel,“ Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king’s cost? Or has he given us any gift?”The men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said,“ We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more claim to David than you. Why then did you despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king?” The words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said,“ We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”

But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

Saul said to his servants who stood around him,“ Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,that all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”

saying,“ Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”But Peter and the apostles answered,“ We must obey God rather than men.The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

He said,“ If Yahweh doesn’t help you, where could I get help for you? From of the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”

The king said,“ You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you, and all your father’s house.”The king said to the guard who stood about him,“ Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.The king said to Doeg,“ Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty- five people who wore a linen ephod.

But some of those who were of the synagogue called“ The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.Then they secretly induced men to say,“ We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

But some of the Pharisees said to them,“ Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?”

When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

Nevertheless Saul didn’t say anything that day, for he thought,“ Something has happened to him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.”On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son,“ Why doesn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”Jonathan answered Saul,“ David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.He said,‘ Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to the king’s table.”Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him,“ You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him,“ Why should he be put to death? What has he done?”Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined to put David to death.

But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

If a wise man goes to court with a foolish man, the fool rages or scoffs, and there is no peace.

As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him;lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.

On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife,“ Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”

Then he said,“ God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today.”

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said,“ Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying,“ Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,and said,“ Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying,“ Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”
