“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil?”

“Why saidst thou, She is my sister?”

“Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?”

“Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou?”

“Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?”

“Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old?”

“Where is Sarah thy wife?”

“After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

“Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?”

“Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you?”

“Hast thou here any besides?”

“What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?”

“What aileth thee, Hagar?”

“What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?”

“Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

“But where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

“What is that betwixt me and thee?”

“Must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?”

“Whose daughter art thou?”

“Whose daughter art thou?”

“Wilt thou go with this man?”

“What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?”

“If it be so, why am I thus?”

“And what profit shall this birthright do to me?”

“Who is this woman?”

“And how saidst thou, She is my sister?”

“What is this thou hast done unto us?”

“Who art thou, my son?”

“How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son?”

“Are you really my son Esau?”

“Art thou my very son Esau?”

“Who art thou?”

“And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? Where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him?”

“My brethren, whence be ye?”

“Know ye Laban the son of Nahor?”

“Is it well with him?”

“Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought?”

“Give me children, or I’ll die!?”

“What shall I give thee?”

“When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou?”

“What is thy name?”

“Who are those with thee?”

“What meanest thou by all this drove which I met?”

“Such a thing should not be done?”

“Come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress?”

“Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?”

“What seekest thou?”

“What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?”

“Do you recognize it?”

“What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?”

“Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?”

“What pledge shall I give thee?”

“Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side?”

“Do not interpretations belong to God?”

“Whence come ye?”

“How will I know that you are honest men?”

“Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake?”

“Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me?”

“Have ye a father, or a brother?”

“Doth my father yet live?”

“What is your occupation?”

“How old art thou?”

“For why should we die in thy presence?”

“Shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land?”

“Who are these?”

“They are the sons God has given me here?”

“I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly?”

“When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him?”

“Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?”

“How is it that ye are come so soon to day?”

“Why doesn’t the bush burn up?”

“What is his name?”

“What if they do not believe me or listen to me?”

“How then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?”

“I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?”

“Lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?”

“But who are they that shall go?”

“Who is it you want to go?”

“Our livestock too must go with us; not a hoof is to be left behind?”

“What mean ye by this service?”

“What is this?”

“Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”

“Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today?”

“Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods?”

“What is it?”

“How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?”

“We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey?”

“Mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth?”

“Now show me your glory?”

“And if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?”

“Wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?”

“Please do not leave us. You know where we should camp in the wilderness?”

“Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.”

“Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month!’?”

“Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them?”

“What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad?”

“What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified?”

“How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not?”

“We will not come up! Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you must also make yourself a prince over us?”

“O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?”

“Must we fetch you water out of this rock?”

“This horde is going to lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field?”

“What hath the LORD spoken?”

“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor, the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly?”

“Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son?”

“For what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?”

“Who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?”

“What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?”

“How can I dispossess them?”

“But you may say to yourselves, ‘These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?’”

“And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul?”

“How did these nations serve their gods?”

“How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?”

“What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it?”

“What man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it?”

“What man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her?”

“What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted ?”

“Hath the LORD done thus unto this land?”

“Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise?”

“Where did the men go?”

“What mean ye by these stones?”

“When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?”

“Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?”

“What saith my lord unto his servant?”

“And what wilt thou do unto thy great name?”

“What have you done?”

“Who are you?”

“Put your feet on the necks of these kings?”

“In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?”

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve?”

“Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?”

“Why have ye done this?”

“I have a message from God for you?”

“Certainly I will go with you. But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours?”

“Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here?”

“Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel?”

“Who hath done this thing?”

“What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor?”

“Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you?”

“Aren’t they coming down from the mountains?”

“What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon?”

“Art thou an Ephraimite?”

“Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman?”

“How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?”

“What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?”

“Is not her younger sister fairer than she?”

“Who hath done this?”

“Why are ye come up against us?”

“You have made a fool of me; you lied to me. Come now, tell me how you can be tied?”

“All this time you have been making a fool of me and lying to me. Tell me how you can be tied?”

“The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you—I took them. What shall I do?”

“Whence comest thou?”

“Who brought thee hither?”

“What say ye?”

“Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image?”

“Is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?”

“Whither goest thou?”

“Tell us, how was this wickedness?”

“Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin?”

“Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?”

“Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?”

“Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD?”

“How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”

“What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD?”

“How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”

“Did you call me?”

“What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?”

“What meaneth the noise of this tumult?”

“What is there done, my son?”

“What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?”

“What shall we do to the ark of the LORD?”

“What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him?”

“This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights?”

“Behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man?”

“Is the seer here?”

“Tell me where is the house of the seer?”

“Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel?”

“What is this that is come unto the son of Kish?”

“Who is their father?”

“Whither went ye?”

“What aileth the people that they weep?”

“Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us?”

“How can I go?”

“Comest thou peaceably?”

“Are here all thy children?”

“Have ye seen this man that is come up?”

“What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel?”

“When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth?”

“Whose son art thou, thou young man?”

“And what can he have more but the kingdom?”

“Who am I? And what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?”

“Wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?”

“Where are Samuel and David?”

“Is Saul also among the prophets?”

“What have I done?”

“Who shall tell me?”

“Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?”

“Shall I go and smite these Philistines?”

“Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand?”

“Is this thy voice, my son David?”

“Doth my lord thus pursue after his servant?”

“One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. Is there anything better for me to do than escape?”

“For why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?”

“Whom shall I bring up unto thee?”

“For what sawest thou?”

“What form is he of?”

“Shall I pursue after this troop?”

“To whom belongest thou?”

“From whence comest thou?”

“How went the matter?”

“How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?”

“Who art thou?”

“Whence art thou?”

“Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?”

“Art thou Asahel?”

“Don’t you realize that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you?”

“Shall I go up to the Philistines?”

“Shall I go up against the Philistines?”

“How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?”

“Who am I, O Lord GOD?”

“What one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?”

“Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?”

“Art thou Ziba?”

“Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him?”

“Where is he?”

“What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?”

“Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

“Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey?”

“How will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?”

“What thing is this that thou hast done?”

“Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?”

“Why have you planned such a thing against God’s people?”

“Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this?”

“Of what city art thou?”

“What meanest thou by these?”

“Where is thy master's son?”

“Is this thy kindness to thy friend?”

“Give your counsel. What shall we do?”

“Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan?”

“Is the young man Absalom safe?”

“Is the young man Absalom safe?”

“The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies… but Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead. Why then do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”

“What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?”

“Art thou in health, my brother?”

“Art thou Joab?”

“What shall I do for you?”

“What do you want me to do for you?”

“Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land?”

“But these sheep, what have they done?”

“Is my lord the king come to his servant?”

“Is this noise of the city being in an uproar?”

“Do you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me?”

“Comest thou peaceably?”

“For who is able to judge this thy so great a people?”

“But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn’t the son I had borne?”

“I have received the message you sent me and will do all you want in providing the cedar and juniper logs?”

“What kind of cities are these that you have given me, my brother?”

“How do ye advise that I may answer this people?”

“What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?”

“What way went he?”

“Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah?”

“Art thou that my lord Elijah?”

“Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?”

“Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by fire—he is God?”

“Shout louder! Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened?”

“I have had enough, LORD. Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors?”

“See how this fellow is looking for trouble! When he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, I did not refuse him?”

“Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude?”

“Who shall begin the battle?”

“The kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Let us go to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life?”

“Is he yet alive?”

“Ben-Hadad is your brother?”

“I will return the cities my father took from your father. You may set up your own market areas in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria?”

“Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite that he refused to sell you. He is no longer alive, but dead?”

“Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear?”

“Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?”

“Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear?”

“Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?”

“Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury?”

“Why are ye now turned back?”

“What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?”

“Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel?”

“Where is the LORD God of Elijah?”

“Look, we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley?”

“Which way shall we go up?”

“Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him?”

“What shall I do for thee?”

“What then is to be done for her?”

“Is it well with thee?”

“What, should I set this before an hundred men?”

“I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy?”

“But may the LORD forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant for this?”

“My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and get something from him?”

“Is all well?”

“Whence comest thou, Gehazi?”

“Where fell it?”

“This is not the road and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are looking for?”

“The king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them?”

“What aileth thee?”

“Why sit we here until we die?”

“I will tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving; so they have left the camp to hide in the countryside, thinking, ‘They will surely come out, and then we will take them alive and get into the city.’?”

“Have some men take five of the horses that are left in the city. Their plight will be like that of all the Israelites left here—yes, they will only be like all these Israelites who are doomed. So let us send them to find out what happened?”

“Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?”

“Why weepeth my lord?”

“What, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing?”

“What said Elisha to thee?”

“Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?”

“Pick up Naboth’s body and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the LORD?”

“Who are you?”

“Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?”

“It may be that the LORD your God will hear all the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule the living God, and that he will rebuke him for the words the LORD your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that still survives?”

“What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?”

“What said these men?”

“What have they seen in thine house?”

“Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?”

“Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found?”

“Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard…’?”

“Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!?”

“Shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy?”
