Psalms 12:8 Cross References - VIN

⁸ The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.

¹⁸ and you have risen up against my father's house, and have slain his seventy sons on one stone, and made Abimelech, the son of his concubine, king over the men of Sychem, because he is your brother; ¹⁹ If then you have done what is true and upright to Jerubbaal and his family this day, may you have joy in Abimelech, and may he have joy in you; ²⁰ but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the lords of Shechem, and Beth Millo; and let fire come out from the lords of Shechem, and from Beth Millo, and devour Abimelech." ²¹ And Jotham hurried and fled, and went to Beer and lived there, away from the face of his brother Abimelech. ²² And Abimelech ruled over Israel three years; ²³ God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem. The men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: ²⁴ that the violence against Jerubbaal's seventy sons, even their blood, might be put on their brother Abimelech who killed them, and on the leaders of Shechem, who made his hands strong to kill his brothers. ²⁵ And the men of Shechem set men in ambush on the top of the mountains. They robbed all who came along that way. This was reported to Abimelech. ²⁶ And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him. ²⁷ And they went out into the fields and gathered in their grapes and trod them and made merry: and went into the house of their God, and did eat and drink and cursed Abimelech. ²⁸ And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal? And is not Zebul his deputy? Serve the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem. For why should we serve him? ²⁹ If only this people were under my hand! Then I would remove Abimelech. He said to Abimelech, Increase your army and come out! ³⁰ And Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, and he was very angry. ³¹ And craftily he sent messengers to Abimelech, saying, Behold, Gaal, the son of Ebed, and his brothers have come to Shechem. And, behold, they are fortifying the city against you. ³² Now therefore arise by night, thou, and the people with thee, and lie in wait in the fields; ³³ Tomorrow morning when the sun is up, get up early and attack the city. When Gaal and his army come out to fight you, do whatever you can to them." ³⁴ Abimelech and all his troops, in four companies, took up concealed positions at night against Shechem. ³⁵ Ebed's son Gaal went out and stood in the entrance to the city gate while Abimelech and his army were creeping out of their ambush. ³⁶ When Gaal saw the people he said to Zebul, Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. Zebul said to him, You are seeing the shadows of the mountains as if they were men. ³⁷ And Gaal spoke again and said, Behold, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and one company is coming by the way of the Sorcerers' Oak. ³⁸ Then Zebul said to him, Now where is your boast when you said 'Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?' Isn't this the people that you have despised? Go out now and fight with them. ³⁹ And Gaal went out before the citizens of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. ⁴⁰ Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many fell wounded, even to the entrance of the gate. ⁴¹ And Abimelech remained in Arumah. And Zebul threw Gaal and his brothers out from living in Shechem. ⁴² On the next day the people went out to the field; and it was reported to Abimelech, ⁴³ And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose, and set upon them, ⁴⁴ Abimelech and the companies that were with him rushed forward and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and the two companies rushed on all who were in the field and struck them. ⁴⁵ And then Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and took it, and slew the people that were therein, and destroyed the city and sowed salt in the place. ⁴⁶ When all the lords of the tower of Shechem heard, they went to the vault of the temple of El-Berith. ⁴⁷ Abimelech was informed that they had gathered there, ⁴⁸ He traveled up to Mount Zalmon with his men. He took an ax, cut a limb off a tree, and put it on his shoulder. He told his men to hurry and do the same thing. ⁴⁹ And all the people also cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put the same to the stronghold, and set the stronghold over them on fire: and thus died also all the people of the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women. ⁵⁰ And Abimelech went unto Thebez, and besieged it, and first took it. ⁵¹ But in the middle of the town there was a strong tower, to which all the men and women of the town went in flight and, shutting themselves in, went up to the roof of the tower. ⁵² Abimelech came up to the tower and fought against it, and he came near the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire. ⁵³ A woman cast an upper millstone on Abimelech's head and broke his skull. ⁵⁴ whereupon he cried hastily to the young man who carried his armour, and said to him, Draw my sword, and kill me, that they may not say, A woman killed him. So his servant run him through, and he died. ⁵⁵ When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, each one went to his home. ⁵⁶ Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in killing his seventy brothers; ⁵⁷ God also repaid the men of Shechem for their wickedness, and the curse of Jerubbaal's son Jotham came true for them.

¹⁷ Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you as your wife. Only be a brave warrior for me and fight the battles of the LORD." For Saul thought, "My hand will not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him." ¹⁸ David said to Saul, "Who am I and what is my life or my father's family in Israel that I should be the king's son-in-law?"

⁶ he was greatly inflamed with wrath, and determined to destroy all the Jews throughout the whole kingdom of Artaxerxes. ⁷ In the twelfth year of the reign of King Ahasuerus, in the first month (the month Nisan), the pur, that is the lot, was cast in Haman's presence to determine the best day and month to carry out his plot. The lot indicated the twelfth month, the month Adar. ⁸ Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and divided among the people throughout the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws are different than all the other people, they don't obey the king's laws, and it's not in the king's best interest to leave them alone. ⁹ If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to those who do the job, to bring to the treasury of the king." ¹⁰ So the king removed his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews. ¹¹ And the king said to Haman, Keep the money, and do with the nation what thou pleasest. ¹² Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were summoned. They put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people. It was to be for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs. It was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring. ¹³ Letters were sent by couriers to all the provinces of the king to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, on one day, the thirteenth day of the month, that is Adar, and to plunder their goods. ¹⁴ A copy of the letter was to be issued as an edict in every province and published to all the people, telling them to be ready for that day. ¹⁵ The couriers went out quickly by order of the king, and the law was issued in the citadel of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink; and the city of Susa was bewildered.

⁸ Sons of fools, and sons of nameless sires, they are driven out of the land.

¹⁰ Day and night they prowl around on its walls, malice and abuse are also within her. ¹¹ Destructive forces are within her, threats and lies don't depart from her streets.

¹² If a ruler listens to lies, all of his officials are wicked.

⁴ And the minds of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongues of stammerers will hasten to speak clearly. ⁵ The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected. ⁶ For the fool speaks foolishness, and his heart works iniquity, to do ungodliness; and to speak error against the LORD, to make the hungry soul empty; and he causes the drink of the thirsty to fail.

²¹ In his place shall arise a contemptible person, to whom they had not given the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

¹¹ Ephraim is crushed, broken by judgment, because he willingly pursued idols.

¹⁶ For you have observed the regulations of Omri and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you have walked in their counsels, so that I am making you a desolation and your inhabitants an object of scorn. So you will bear the scorn of my people.

⁶³ The high priest tore his clothes and said, "Why do we need any more witnesses? ⁶⁴ You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?"
