- God:
- That is, God permitted the evil spirit of jealousy, treachery, and discord, to break out between Abimelech and the Shechemites. "And the brambleª saidª° unto¹ the trees,ª If¹ in truthª ye¹ anointª° me kingª over¹ you, [then] comeª° [and] put your trustª° in my shadow:ª and if¹ not,¹ let fireª come outª° of¹ the bramble,ª and devourª°¹ the cedarsª of Lebanon.ª" {Jdg 9:15} + "But if¹ not,¹ let fireª come outª° from Abimelech,ª¹ and devourª°¹ the menª of Shechem,ª and the houseª of Millo;ª°² and let fireª come outª° from the menª¹ of Shechem,ª and from the houseª¹ of Millo,ª°² and devourª°¹ Abimelech.ª" {Jdg 9:20} + "But the Spiritª of the LORDª departedª° from¹¹ Saul,ª and an evilª spiritª from¹¹ the LORDª troubledª° him. ... Let our lordª now¹ commandª° thy servants,ª [which are] beforeª thee, to seek outª° a man,ª [who is] a cunningª° playerª° on an harp:ª and it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ the evilª spiritª from Godª is upon¹ thee, that he shall playª° with his hand,ª and thou shalt be well.ª°" {1Sm 16:14-16} + "And Saulª eyedª°¹ Davidª from that dayª¹¹ and forward.ª ... And it came to pass¹ on the morrow,ª¹ that the evilª spiritª from Godª cameª° upon¹ Saul,ª and he prophesiedª° in the midstª of the house:ª and Davidª playedª° with his hand,ª as at other times:ª and [there was] a javelinª in Saul'sª hand.ª" {1Sm 18:9-10} + "Wherefore the kingª hearkenedª° not¹ unto¹ the people;ª for¹ the causeª was¹ from¹¹ the LORD,ª that¹ he might performª°¹ his saying,ª which¹ the LORDª spakeª° byª Ahijahª the Shiloniteª unto¹ Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat.ª" {1Kg 12:15} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ him, Wherewith?¹ And he said,ª° I will go forth,ª° and I will be¹ a lyingª spiritª in the mouthª of all¹ his prophets.ª And he said,ª° Thou shalt persuadeª° [him], and prevailª° also:¹ go forth,ª° and doª° so.¹ ... Now¹ therefore, behold,¹ the LORDª hath putª° a lyingª spiritª in the mouthª of all¹ these¹ thy prophets,ª and the LORDª hath spokenª° evilª concerning¹ thee." {1Kg 22:22-23} + "So the kingª hearkenedª° not¹ unto¹ the people:ª for¹ the causeª was¹ of¹¹ God,ª that¹ the LORDª might performª°¹ his word,ª which¹ he spakeª° by the handª of Ahijahª the Shiloniteª to¹ Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat.ª" {2Ch 10:15} + "And the LORDª said,ª° Who¹ shall enticeª°¹ Ahabª kingª of Israel,ª that he may go upª° and fallª° at Ramothgilead?ª² And one¹ spakeª° sayingª° after this manner,ª and another¹ sayingª° after that manner.ª ...
