Professor Horner’s Reading Plan

Read through the Bible in one year by reading 10 chapters a day from 10 different sections of the Bible using the Professor Grant Horner Bible reading plan.

Today, we are reading Mark 1; Numbers 1; 2 Corinthians 8; Revelation 10; Song of Solomon 2; Psalms 118; Proverbs 25; 1 Kings 14; Jeremiah 52; Acts 6.

Mark 1

1	The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2	As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3	The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4	John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5	And there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6	And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7	And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8	I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9	And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10	And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11	And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12	And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13	And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14	Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15	And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
16	Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17	And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18	And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19	And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20	And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21	And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
22	And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23	And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24	saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25	And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26	And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27	And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
28	And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29	And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30	But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
31	And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32	And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33	And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34	And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
35	And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36	And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37	And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
38	And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
39	And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
40	And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41	And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
42	And, as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43	And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44	And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45	But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

Numbers 1

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2	Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;
3	From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.
4	And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.
5	And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur.
6	Of Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
7	Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
8	Of Issachar; Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
9	Of Zebulun; Eliab the son of Helon.
10	Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim; Elishama the son of Ammihud: of Manasseh; Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
11	Of Benjamin; Abidan the son of Gideoni.
12	Of Dan; Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
13	Of Asher; Pagiel the son of Ocran.
14	Of Gad; Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
15	Of Naphtali; Ahira the son of Enan.
16	These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel.
17	And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by their names:
18	And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
19	As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
20	And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
21	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Reuben, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.
22	Of the children of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, those that were numbered of them, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
23	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.
24	Of the children of Gad, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
25	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Gad, were forty and five thousand six hundred and fifty.
26	Of the children of Judah, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
27	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
28	Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
29	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.
30	Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
31	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
32	Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
33	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred.
34	Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
35	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
36	Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
37	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
38	Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
39	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
40	Of the children of Asher, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
41	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.
42	Of the children of Naphtali, throughout their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
43	Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
44	These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each one was for the house of his fathers.
45	So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;
46	Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
47	But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
48	For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
49	Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
50	But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
51	And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
52	And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
53	But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
54	And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

2 Corinthians 8

1	Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2	How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3	For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
4	Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5	And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
6	Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
7	Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
8	I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9	For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
10	And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11	Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12	For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
13	For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
14	But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
15	As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
16	But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
17	For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
18	And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
19	And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
20	Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
21	Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
22	And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
23	Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be inquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
24	Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

Revelation 10

1	And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2	And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3	And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4	And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5	And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6	And swore by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7	But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
8	And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9	And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10	And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11	And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Song of Solomon 2

1	I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2	As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3	As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4	He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5	Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6	His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
7	I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
8	The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
9	My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself through the lattice.
10	My beloved spoke, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11	For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12	The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13	The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14	O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
15	Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
16	My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
17	Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

Psalms 118

1	O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth forever.
2	Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth forever.
3	Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth forever.
4	Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth forever.
5	I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6	The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7	The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8	It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9	It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
10	All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11	They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12	They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13	Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14	The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15	The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16	The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17	I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18	The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19	Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20	This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21	I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22	The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23	This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.
24	This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25	Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26	Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27	God is the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28	Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29	O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.

Proverbs 25

1	These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2	It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.
3	The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
4	Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the refiner.
5	Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
6	Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
7	For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
8	Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbor hath put thee to shame.
9	Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another:
10	Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
11	A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12	As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13	As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14	Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15	By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16	Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17	Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
18	A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19	Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20	As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon niter, so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
21	If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22	For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
23	The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24	It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25	As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26	A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27	It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28	He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

1 Kings 14

1	At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
2	And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
3	And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
4	And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
5	And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.
6	And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
7	Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8	And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;
9	But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
10	Therefore behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
11	Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
12	Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13	And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
14	Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
15	For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
16	And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
17	And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
18	And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19	And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20	And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21	And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
22	And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23	For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
24	And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
25	And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
26	And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27	And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.
28	And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
29	Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30	And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
31	And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

Jeremiah 52

1	Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2	And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3	For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4	And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
5	So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6	And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
7	Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about: ) and they went by the way of the plain.
8	But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9	Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
10	And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11	Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
12	Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
13	And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:
14	And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
15	Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16	But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
17	Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
18	The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
19	And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.
20	The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
21	And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
22	And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.
23	And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.
24	And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
25	He took also out of the city a eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
26	So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27	And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
28	This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
29	In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
30	In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31	And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,
32	And spoke kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
33	And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
34	And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Acts 6

1	And in those days, when the number of the disciples were multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2	Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3	Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4	But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5	And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6	Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7	And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8	And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9	Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10	And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11	Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12	And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13	And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14	For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15	And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
