1 Kings 22, 1 Thessalonians 5, Daniel 4, Psalm 108, 109

 


1 Kings 22,

1 For three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
 
2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to see the king of Israel.
 
3 The king of Israel had said to his officials, "Don't you know that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us and yet we are doing nothing to retake it from the king of Aram?"
 
4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
 
5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, "First seek the counsel of the LORD."
 
6 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets-about four hundred men-and asked them, "Shall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" "Go," they answered, "for the Lord will give it into the king's hand."
 
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there not a prophet of the LORD here whom we can inquire of?"
 
8 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, "There is still one man through whom we can inquire of the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." "The king should not say that," Jehoshaphat replied.
 
9 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, "Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once."
 
10 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
 
11 Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns and he declared, "This is what the LORD says: 'With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.' "
 
12 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. "Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious," they said, "for the LORD will give it into the king's hand."
 
13 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, "Look, as one man the other prophets are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably."
 
14 But Micaiah said, "As surely as the LORD lives, I can tell him only what the LORD tells me."
 
15 When he arrived, the king asked him, "Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?" "Attack and be victorious," he answered, "for the LORD will give it into the king's hand."
 
16 The king said to him, "How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD ?"
 
17 Then Micaiah answered, "I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the LORD said, 'These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.' "
 
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Didn't I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?"
 
19 Micaiah continued, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD : I saw the LORD sitting on his throne with all the host of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left.
 
20 And the LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?' "One suggested this, and another that.
 
21 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.'
 
22 " 'By what means?' the LORD asked. " 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. " 'You will succeed in enticing him,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it.'
 
23 "So now the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The LORD has decreed disaster for you."
 
24 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. "Which way did the spirit from the LORD go when he went from me to speak to you?" he asked.
 
25 Micaiah replied, "You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room."
 
26 The king of Israel then ordered, "Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king's son
 
27 and say, 'This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.' "
 
28 Micaiah declared, "If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me." Then he added, "Mark my words, all you people!"
 
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
 
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will enter the battle in disguise, but you wear your royal robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
 
31 Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, "Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel."
 
32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, "Surely this is the king of Israel." So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat cried out,
 
33 the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel and stopped pursuing him.
 
34 But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the sections of his armor. The king told his chariot driver, "Wheel around and get me out of the fighting. I've been wounded."
 
35 All day long the battle raged, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. The blood from his wound ran onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
 
36 As the sun was setting, a cry spread through the army: "Every man to his town; everyone to his land!"
 
37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried him there.
 
38 They washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria (where the prostitutes bathed), and the dogs licked up his blood, as the word of the LORD had declared.
 
39 As for the other events of Ahab's reign, including all he did, the palace he built and inlaid with ivory, and the cities he fortified, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
 
40 Ahab rested with his fathers. And Ahaziah his son succeeded him as king.
 
41 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
 
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
 
43 In everything he walked in the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
 
44 Jehoshaphat was also at peace with the king of Israel.
 
45 As for the other events of Jehoshaphat's reign, the things he achieved and his military exploits, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
 
46 He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa.
 
47 There was then no king in Edom; a deputy ruled.
 
48 Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail-they were wrecked at Ezion Geber.
 
49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, "Let my men sail with your men," but Jehoshaphat refused.
 
50 Then Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son succeeded him.
 
51 Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
 
52 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, because he walked in the ways of his father and mother and in the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
 
53 He served and worshiped Baal and provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.

 

 

1 Thessalonians 5,

1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,
 
2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
 
3 While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
 
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
 
5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
 
6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.
 
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
 
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
 
9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
 
11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
 
12 Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.
 
13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.
 
14 And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
 
15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.
 
16 Be joyful always;
 
17 pray continually;
 
18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
 
19 Do not put out the Spirit's fire;
 
20 do not treat prophecies with contempt.
 
21 Test everything. Hold on to the good.
 
22 Avoid every kind of evil.
 
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.
 
25 Brothers, pray for us.
 
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
 
27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.
 
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

 


Daniel 4,

1 King Nebuchadnezzar, To the peoples, nations and men of every language, who live in all the world: May you prosper greatly!
 
2 It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.
 
3 How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from generation to generation.
 
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at home in my palace, contented and prosperous.
 
5 I had a dream that made me afraid. As I was lying in my bed, the images and visions that passed through my mind terrified me.
 
6 So I commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be brought before me to interpret the dream for me.
 
7 When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners came, I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.
 
8 Finally, Daniel came into my presence and I told him the dream. (He is called Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and the spirit of the holy gods is in him.)
 
9 I said, "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too difficult for you. Here is my dream; interpret it for me.
 
10 These are the visions I saw while lying in my bed: I looked, and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height was enormous.
 
11 The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was visible to the ends of the earth.
 
12 Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit abundant, and on it was food for all. Under it the beasts of the field found shelter, and the birds of the air lived in its branches; from it every creature was fed.
 
13 "In the visions I saw while lying in my bed, I looked, and there before me was a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven.
 
14 He called in a loud voice: 'Cut down the tree and trim off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it and the birds from its branches.
 
15 But let the stump and its roots, bound with iron and bronze, remain in the ground, in the grass of the field. " 'Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let him live with the animals among the plants of the earth.
 
16 Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal, till seven times pass by for him.
 
17 " 'The decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men.'
 
18 "This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me what it means, for none of the wise men in my kingdom can interpret it for me. But you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you."
 
19 Then Daniel (also called Belteshazzar) was greatly perplexed for a time, and his thoughts terrified him. So the king said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its meaning alarm you." Belteshazzar answered, "My lord, if only the dream applied to your enemies and its meaning to your adversaries!
 
20 The tree you saw, which grew large and strong, with its top touching the sky, visible to the whole earth,
 
21 with beautiful leaves and abundant fruit, providing food for all, giving shelter to the beasts of the field, and having nesting places in its branches for the birds of the air-
 
22 you, O king, are that tree! You have become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth.
 
23 "You, O king, saw a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump, bound with iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots remain in the ground. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven; let him live like the wild animals, until seven times pass by for him.'
 
24 "This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree the Most High has issued against my lord the king:
 
25 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes.
 
26 The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules.
 
27 Therefore, O king, be pleased to accept my advice: Renounce your sins by doing what is right, and your wickedness by being kind to the oppressed. It may be that then your prosperity will continue."
 
28 All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.
 
29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,
 
30 he said, "Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?"
 
31 The words were still on his lips when a voice came from heaven, "This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you.
 
32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes."
 
33 Immediately what had been said about Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from people and ate grass like cattle. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.
 
34 At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation.
 
35 All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: "What have you done?"
 
36 At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before.
 
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

 

Psalm 108, 109

1 My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul.
 
2 Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
 
3 I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.
 
4 For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
 
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth.
 
6 Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered.
 
7 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Succoth.
 
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.
 
9 Moab is my washbasin, upon Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph."
 
10 Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
 
11 Is it not you, O God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies?
 
12 Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
 
13 With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.

 

1 O God, whom I praise, do not remain silent,
 
2 for wicked and deceitful men have opened their mouths against me; they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
 
3 With words of hatred they surround me; they attack me without cause.
 
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.
 
5 They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
 
6 Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.
 
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him.
 
8 May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
 
9 May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
 
10 May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
 
11 May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
 
12 May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
 
13 May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.
 
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
 
15 May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
 
16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.
 
17 He loved to pronounce a curse-may it come on him; he found no pleasure in blessing-may it be far from him.
 
18 He wore cursing as his garment; it entered into his body like water, into his bones like oil.
 
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him, like a belt tied forever around him.
 
20 May this be the LORD's payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me.
 
21 But you, O Sovereign LORD, deal well with me for your name's sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
 
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
 
23 I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
 
24 My knees give way from fasting; my body is thin and gaunt.
 
25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.
 
26 Help me, O LORD my God; save me in accordance with your love.
 
27 Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O LORD, have done it.
 
28 They may curse, but you will bless; when they attack they will be put to shame, but your servant will rejoice.
 
29 My accusers will be clothed with disgrace and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.
 
30 With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD; in the great throng I will praise him.
 
31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save his life from those who condemn him.
