21 But an opportunity came when Herod (C)on his birthday (D)gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22 For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” 23 And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, (E)up to half of my kingdom.” 24 And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. (A)Their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not to the king's profit to tolerate them. 9 If it please the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay 10,000 talents[a] of silver into the hands of those who have charge of the king's business, that they may put it into the king's treasuries.” 10 (B)So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman (C)the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, (D)the enemy of the Jews. 11 And the king said to Haman, “The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”
12 (E)Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king's (F)satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the officials of all the peoples, (G)to every province in its own script and every people in its own language. It was written (H)in the name of King Ahasuerus (I)and sealed with the king's signet ring. 13 Letters were sent (J)by couriers to all the king's provinces with instruction (K)to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all Jews, young and old, women and children, (L)in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, (M)and to plunder their goods. 14 (N)A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province by proclamation to all the peoples to be ready for that day. 15 (O)The couriers went out hurriedly by order of the king, and the decree was issued in Susa the citadel. And the king and Haman sat down to drink, (P)but the city of Susa was thrown into confusion.

21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to (A)your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house, and all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father, and (B)the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.” 22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom (C)on the roof. And Absalom went in to his father's concubines (D)in the sight of all Israel. 23 Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one consulted the word of God; so was all the counsel of Ahithophel esteemed, (E)both by David and by Absalom.

17 Moreover, Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight. 2 I will come upon him while he is (F)weary and discouraged and throw him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. (G)I will strike down only the king, 3 and I will bring all the people back to you as a bride comes home to her husband. You seek the life of only one man,[a] and all the people will be at peace.” 4 And the advice seemed right in the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

Will you not tell me?” Amnon said to him, “I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.” 5 Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread to eat, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.’”
