Lexicon :: Strong's G1869 - epairō

The flood continued for forty days on the earth; the water increased and lifted up the ark so that it rose above the earth.

Lot looked out and saw that the entire plain[fn] of the Jordan as far as Zoar was well watered everywhere like the LORD’s garden and the land of Egypt. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)

Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded; in the sight of Pharaoh and his officials, he raised the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the water in the Nile was turned to blood.

So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the LORD sent an east wind over the land all that day and through the night. By morning the east wind had brought in the locusts.

“As for you, lift up your staff, stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

While Moses held up his hand,[fn] Israel prevailed, but whenever he put his hand[fn] down, Amalek prevailed.

“may the LORD look with favor on you[fn]

and give you peace.” ’

Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that abundant water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.

When the angel of the LORD had spoken these words to all the Israelites, the people wept loudly.

When they told Jotham, he climbed to the top of Mount Gerizim, raised his voice, and called to them:

Listen to me, citizens of Shechem,

and may God listen to you:

So the people went to Bethel and sat there before God until evening. They wept loudly and bitterly,

“May the LORD grant each of you rest in the house of a new husband.” She kissed them, and they wept loudly.

Again they wept loudly, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

Then Saul threw his spear at Jonathan to kill him, so he knew that his father was determined to kill David.

Then David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

Just as he finished speaking, the king’s sons entered and wept loudly. Then the king and all his servants also wept very bitterly.

David was sitting between the city gates when the watchman went up to the roof of the city gate and over to the wall. The watchman looked out and saw a man running alone.

“That is not the case. There is a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, who has rebelled against King David. Deliver this one man, and I will withdraw from the city.”

The woman replied to Joab, “Watch! His head will be thrown over the wall to you.”

Adonijah son of Haggith kept exalting himself, saying, “I will be king! ” He prepared chariots, cavalry, and fifty men to run ahead of him.[fn]

and this is the reason he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the opening in the wall of the city of his father David.

He looked up toward the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who? ” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him,

“You have indeed defeated Edom, and you have become overconfident.[fn] Enjoy your glory and stay at home. Why should you stir up such trouble that you fall ​— ​you and Judah with you? ”

“This is what the king says: ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; he can’t rescue you from my power.

“Say this to King Hezekiah of Judah: ‘Don’t let your God, on whom you rely, deceive you by promising that Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.

When David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, covered in sackcloth, fell facedown.

“You have said, ‘Look, I[fn] have defeated Edom,’ and you have become overconfident[fn] that you will get glory. Now stay at home. Why stir up such trouble so that you fall and Judah with you? ”

I issued a decree and a search was conducted. It was discovered that this city has had uprisings against kings since ancient times, and there have been rebellions and revolts in it.

Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and with their hands uplifted all the people said, “Amen, Amen! ” Then they knelt low and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

if I ever cast my vote[fn] against a fatherless child

when I saw that I had support in the city gate,

The sword that reaches him will have no effect,

nor will a spear, dart, or arrow.

LORD, our Lord,

how magnificent is your name throughout the earth!

You have covered the heavens with your majesty.[fn]

Lift up your heads, you gates!

Rise up, ancient doors!

Then the King of glory will come in.

Lift up your heads, you gates!

Rise up, ancient doors!

Then the King of glory will come in.

Save your people, bless your possession,

shepherd them, and carry them forever.

I have seen a wicked, violent person

well-rooted,[fn] like a flourishing native tree.

The nobles of the peoples have assembled

with the people of the God of Abraham.

For the leaders[fn] of the earth belong to God;

he is greatly exalted.

Indeed, you put them in slippery places;

you make them fall into ruin.

Make your way[fn] to the perpetual ruins,

to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.

“Do not lift up your horn against heaven[fn]

or speak arrogantly.’ ”

The floods have lifted up, LORD,

the floods have lifted up their voice;

the floods lift up their pounding waves.

because of your indignation and wrath;

for you have picked me up and thrown me aside.

So he raised his hand against them with an oath

that he would make them fall in the desert

Lift up your hands in the holy place

and bless the LORD!

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

and do not rely on your own understanding;

Discipline your son while there is hope;

don’t set your heart on being the cause of his death.[fn]

Don’t gloat when your enemy falls,

and don’t let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

There is a generation ​— ​how haughty its eyes

and pretentious its looks.[fn]

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, and the hem of his robe filled the temple.

The foundations of the doorways shook at the sound of their voices, and the temple was filled with smoke.

Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud,

for the LORD has spoken.
