Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not
depart from your mouth, but you shall
meditate on it day and night, so that you
may be careful to do according to all
that is written in it; for then you will
make your way prosperous, and then
you will have success.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be
strong and courageous! Do not tremble
or be dismayed, for the LORD your God
is with you wherever you go.

Joshua 10:1-2
Now it came about when Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had
captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it
(just as he had done to Jericho and its
king, so he had done to Ai and its king),
and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had
made peace with Israel and were within
their land, that he feared greatly, because
Gibeon was a great city, like one of the
royal cities, and because it was greater
than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

And it came about as they fled
from before Israel, while they were at
the descent of Beth-horon, that the
Lord threw large stones from heaven
on them, as far as Azekah, and they
died; there were more who died from
the hailstones than those whom the
sons of Israel killed with the sword.

Joshua 10:12
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in
the day when the Lord delivered up the
Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he
said in the sight of Israel,
“O sun, stand still at Gibeon,
And O moon in the valley of Aijalon.”
Joshua 10:13
So the sun stood still, and the moon
stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of
their enemies.
Is it not written in the book of Jashar?
And the sun stopped in the middle of the
sky, and did not hasten to go down for
about a whole day.
Joshua 10:14
And there was no day like that
before it or after it, when the Lord
listened to the voice of a man; for the
Lord fought for Israel.

And he took a yoke of
oxen and cut them in
pieces, and sent them
throughout the territory
of Israel by the hand of
messengers,
saying,
“Whoever does not
come out after Saul and
after Samuel, so shall it
be done to his oxen.” (1
Samuel 11:7)

1 Samuel 15:1
Then Samuel said to Saul, “The
LORD sent me to anoint you as king
over His people, over Israel; now
therefore, listen to the words of the
LORD.”
“Thus says the
LORD of hosts, ‘I
will punish Amalek
for what he did to
Israel, how he set
himself against him
on the way while he
was coming up from
Egypt.’ (1 Samuel
15:2).

“Now go and
strike Amalek and
utterly destroy all that
he has, and do not
spare him; but put to
death both man and
woman, child and
infant, ox and sheep,
camel and donkey.’”
(1 Samuel 15:3).

1 Samuel 15:7-8
So Saul defeated the Amalekites,
from Havilah as you go to Shur, which is
east of Egypt. 8 He captured Agag the
king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly
destroyed all the people with the edge of
the sword.
1 Samuel 15:9
But Saul and the people spared
Agag and the best of the sheep, the
oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that
was good, and were not willing to
destroy them utterly; but everything
despised and worthless, that they utterly
destroyed.
1 Samuel 15:22
Samuel said, “Has the LORD as much
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
As in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.
1 Samuel 15:23
“For rebellion is as the sin of divination,
And insubordination is as iniquity and
idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of
the LORD,
He has also rejected you from being
king.”
1 Samuel 15:27-28
As Samuel turned to go, Saul
seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.
28 So Samuel said to him, “The LORD
has torn the kingdom of Israel from you
today and has given it to your neighbor,
who is better than you.”
1 Samuel 15:28
So Samuel said to him, “The
LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel
from you today, and has given it to
your neighbor who is better than you.”

Then David said to the Philistine,
“You come to me with a sword, a spear,

taunted.”

Then David said to Achish, “If now I
have found favor in your sight, let them
give me a place in one of the cities in
the country, that I may live there; for why
should your servant live in the royal city
with you?” 6 So Achish gave him Ziklag
that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged
to the kings of Judah to this day. 7 The
number of days that David lived in the
country of the Philistines was a year and
four months.

Now it came about in
those days that the
Philistines gathered
their armed camps
for war, to fight
against Israel.
(1 Samuel 28:1a).

So the Philistines gathered together
and came and camped in Shunem
(1 Samuel 28:4a).
…and Saul
gathered
all Israel
together
and they
camped in
Gilboa.
(1 Samuel

disguised
himself by
putting on
other clothes,
and went, he
and two men
with him, and
they came to
the woman by
night
(1 Samuel
28:8)
1 Samuel 28:11-12
Then the woman said, “Whom shall
I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring
up Samuel for me.”
When the woman saw Samuel, she
cried out with a loud voice; and the
woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why
have you deceived me? For you are
Saul.”
1 Samuel 28:13-14
And the king said to her, “Do not be
afraid; but what do you see?” And the
woman said to Saul, “I see a divine being
[Elohim] coming up out of the earth.”
And he said to her, “What is his
form?” And she said, “An old man is
coming up, and he is wrapped with a
robe.” And Saul knew that it was Samuel,
and he bowed with his face to the ground
and did homage.
1 Samuel 28:18-19
“As you did not obey the Lord and did
not execute His fierce wrath of Amalek, so
the Lord has done this thing to you this
day.
Moreover the Lord will also give over
Israel along with you into the hands of the
Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and
your sons will be with me. Indeed the
Lord will give over the army of Israel into
the hands of the Philistines!”
1 Samuel 31:6
Thus Saul died with his three
sons, his armor bearer, and all his
men on that day together.

They placed the ark of God on a
new cart that they might bring it from the
house of Abinadab which was on the
hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of
Abinadab, were leading the new cart.
2 Samuel 6:6
But when they came to the
threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached
out toward the ark of God and took hold
of it, for the oxen nearly upset it.
2 Samuel 6:7
And the anger of the LORD burned
against Uzzah, and God struck him
down there for his irreverence; and he
died there by the ark of God.

and that place is called Perez-uzzah to
this day.

And David was unwilling to move
the ark of the LORD into the city of
David with him; but David took it aside

the house of Obed-edom the Gittite
three months, and the LORD blessed
Obed-edom and all his household.
2 Samuel 6:12
Now it was told King David, saying,
“The LORD has blessed the house of
Obed-edom and all that belongs to him,
on account of the ark of God.” David

city of David with gladness.
