- "And Israelª joined²° himself¹ unto Baalpeor:ª and the angerª of the LORDª was kindledª° against Israel.ª" {Num 25:3} + "Your eyesª have seenª°¹ what¹ the LORDª didª° because of Baalpeor:ª for¹ all¹ the menª that¹ followedªª° Baalpeor,ª the LORDª thy Godª hath destroyedª° them from amongª¹ you." {Deu 4:3} + "And they forsookª°¹ the LORD,ª and servedª° Baalª and Ashtaroth.ª" {Jdg 2:13} + "And it came to pass,¹ as if it had been a light thingª° for him to walk²°¹ in the sinsª of Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat,ª that he tookª° to wifeª¹ Jezebelª the daughterª of Ethbaalª kingª of the Zidonians,ª and went²°¹ and servedª°¹ Baal,ª and worshippedª° him." {1Kg 16:31} + "Now¹ therefore callª° unto¹ me all¹ the prophetsª of Baal,ª all¹ his servants,ª° and all¹ his priests;ª let noneª¹ be wanting:ª° for¹ I have a greatª sacrificeª [to do] to Baal;ª whosoever¹¹ shall be wanting,ª° he shall not¹ live.ª° But Jehuª didª° [it] in subtilty,ª to the intent¹ that he might destroyª°¹ the worshippersª° of Baal.ª ... And Jehuª said,ª° Proclaimª° a solemn assemblyª for Baal.ª And they proclaimedª° [it]." {2Kg 10:19-20} + "They have builtª° also¹ the high placesª of Baal,ª to burnª°¹ their sonsª with fireª [for] burnt offeringsª unto Baal,ª which¹ I commandedª° not,¹ nor¹ spakeª° [it], neither¹ cameª° [it] into¹ my mind:ª" {Jer 19:5} + "For she¹ did not¹ knowª° that¹ I¹ gaveª° her corn,ª and wine,ª and oil,ª and multipliedª° her silverª and gold,ª [which] they preparedª° for Baal.ª" {Hsa 2:8} + "When Ephraimª spakeª° trembling,ª he¹ exaltedª° himself in Israel;ª but when he offendedª° in Baal,ª he died.ª°" {Hsa 13:1} + "I will also stretch outª° mine handª upon¹ Judah,ª and upon¹ all¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem;ª and I will cut offª°¹ the remnantª of Baalª from¹ this¹ place,ª [and]¹ the nameª of the Chemarimsª with¹ the priests;ª" {Zph 1:4}
