2 Samuel 10:19

19 And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel ^gand became subject to them. So the Syrians were afraid to save the Ammonites anymore.

2 Samuel 11:2-27

2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on ^hthe roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this ⁱBathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of ^jUriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. ( ^kNow she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.”

6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and ^lwash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king’s house, and there followed him a present from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 Uriah said to David, ^m“The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and ⁿthe servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and ^oas your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, ^pso that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with ^qthe servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

14 In the morning David ^rwrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, ^sthat he may be struck down, and die.” 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king’s anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 ^tWho killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’”

22 So the messenger went and came and told David all that Joab had sent him to tell. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall. Some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” 25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.’ And encourage him.”

26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and ^ushe became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.

2 Chronicles 33:9-13

9 Manasseh led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem astray, to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the people of Israel.

Manasseh’s Repentance

10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention. 11 ^vTherefore the Lord brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and ^wbound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God ^xand humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 He prayed to him, and ^yGod was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. ^zThen Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.

Psalms 73:5-28

5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not ^aastricken like the rest of mankind.
6 Therefore pride is ^abtheir necklace;
violence covers them as ^aca garment.
7 Their ^adeyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and ^aespeak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.
10 Therefore his people turn back to them,
and find ^afno fault in them. ^{▼▼Probable reading; Hebrew the waters of a full cup are drained by them}
11 And they say, ^ah“How can God know?
Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked;
always at ease, they ^aiincrease in riches.
13 All in vain have I ^ajkept my heart clean
and ^akwashed my hands in innocence.
14 For all the day long I have been ^alstricken
and ^amrebuked ^anevery morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
I would have betrayed ^aothe generation of your children.
16 But when I thought how to understand this,
it seemed to me ^apa wearisome task,
17 until I went into ^aqthe sanctuary of God;
then I discerned their ^arend.
18 Truly you set them in ^asslippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19 How they are destroyed ^atin a moment,
swept away utterly by ^auterrors!
20 Like ^ava dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when ^awyou rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.
21 When my soul was embittered,
when I was pricked in heart,
22 I was ^axbrutish and ignorant;
I was like ^aya beast toward you.
23 Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you ^azhold my right hand.
24 You ^baguide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will ^bbreceive me to glory.
25 ^bcWhom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 ^bdMy flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is ^bethe strength ^{▼▼Hebrew rock} of my heart and my ^bgportion ^bhforever.
27 For behold, those who are ^bifar from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is ^bjunfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to ^bkbe near God;
I have made the Lord God my ^blrefuge,
that I may ^bmtell of all your works.

Psalms 119:176

176 I have ^bngone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,
for I do not ^boforget your commandments.

Proverbs 1:32

32 For the simple are killed by ^bptheir turning away,
and ^bqthe complacency of fools destroys them;
