Solomon Worships at Gibeon

1 ^(A)Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, ^(B)and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.

²⁵ And the Lord made Solomon very ^(A)great in the sight of all Israel and ^(B)bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

^12 (A)So Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.

^2 (A)The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.

A Treaty with Abimelech

²² At that time ^(A)Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, ^(B)“God is with you in all that you do.

^9 (A)Therefore ^(B)God has ^(C)highly exalted him and bestowed on him ^(D)the name that is above every name, ¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus ^(E)every knee should bow, ^(F)in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and ^(G)every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is ^(H)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁸ and I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.

⁴⁶ Then the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck him down, and he died.

^(A)So the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

¹² He said, ^(A)“But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, ^(B)you shall serve God on this mountain.”

²¹ But ^(A)the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love ^(B)and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
