1 Tawarikh 22:8

David Orders a Temple to Be Built

22:2 David ordered the resident foreigners in the land of Israel to be called together. He appointed some of them to be stonecutters to chisel stones for the building of God’s temple.

1 Samuel 7:5-13

7:5 Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the Lord on your behalf.” 7:6 After they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the Lord. They fasted on that day, and they confessed ³  there, “We have sinned against the Lord.” So Samuel led ⁴  the people of Israel at Mizpah.

7:7 When the Philistines heard that the Israelites had gathered at Mizpah, the leaders of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the Israelites heard about this, they were afraid of the Philistines. 7:8 The Israelites said to Samuel, “Keep ⁵  crying out to the Lord our ⁶  God so that he may save us ⁷  from the hand of the Philistines!” 7:9 So Samuel took a nursing lamb ⁸  and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. Samuel cried out to the Lord on Israel’s behalf, and the Lord answered him.

7:10 As Samuel was offering burnt offerings, the Philistines approached to do battle with Israel. ⁹  But on that day the Lord thundered loudly against the Philistines. He caused them to panic, and they were defeated by ¹⁰  Israel. 7:11 Then the men of Israel left Mizpah and chased the Philistines, striking them down all the way to an area below Beth Car.

7:12 Samuel took a stone and placed it between Mizpah and Shen. ¹¹  He named it Ebenezer, ¹²  saying, “Up to here the Lord has helped us.” 7:13 So the Philistines were defeated; they did not invade Israel again. The hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

1 Samuel 7:1

7:1 Then the people ¹³  of Kiriath Jearim came and took the ark of the Lord; they brought it to the house of Abinadab located on the hill. They consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of the Lord.

Kisah Para Rasul 5:3

5:3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled ¹⁴  your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back for yourself part of the proceeds from the sale of ¹⁵  the land?

Kisah Para Rasul 5:2

5:2 He ¹⁶  kept back for himself part of the proceeds with his wife’s knowledge; he brought ¹⁷  only part of it and placed it at the apostles’ feet.

Kisah Para Rasul 6:8-9

Stephen is Arrested

6:8 Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and miraculous signs ¹⁸  among the people. 6:9 But some men from the Synagogue ¹⁹  of the Freedmen (as it was called), ²⁰  both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, as well as some from Cilicia and the province of Asia, ²¹  stood up and argued with Stephen.

[22:8]  ¹ tn Heb “and the word of the Lord was [i.e., came] to me saying.”

[22:8]  ² tn Heb “for my name.”

[7:6]  ³ tn Heb “said.”

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “judged”; NAB “began to judge”; TEV “settled disputes among.”

[7:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “don’t stop.”

[7:8]  ⁶ tc The LXX reads “your God” rather than the MT’s “our God.”

[7:8]  ⁷ tn After the negated jussive, the prefixed verbal form with the prefixed conjunction indicates purpose/result.

[7:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “a lamb of milk”; NAB “an unweaned lamb”; NIV “a suckling lamb”; NCV “a baby lamb.”

[7:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “approached for battle against Israel.”

[7:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “before.”

[7:12]  ¹¹ tn Cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT “Jeshanah.”

[7:12]  ¹² sn The name Ebenezer (אֶבֶן הָעָזֶר) means “stone of help” in Hebrew (cf. TEV); NLT adds the meaning parenthetically after the name.

[7:1]  ¹³ tn Heb “men.”

[5:3]  ¹⁴ sn This is a good example of the Greek verb fill (πληρόω, plhrow) meaning “to exercise control over someone’s thought and action” (cf. Eph 5:18).

[5:3]  ¹⁵ tn The words “from the sale of” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied to clarify the meaning, since the phrase “proceeds from the land” could possibly be understood as crops rather than money from the sale.

[5:2]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “And he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[5:2]  ¹⁷ tn The participle ἐνέγκας (enenka") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[6:8]  ¹⁸ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context. Here the work of miracles extends beyond the Twelve for the first time.

[6:9]  ¹⁹ sn A synagogue was a place for Jewish prayer and worship, with recognized leadership (cf. Luke 8:41). Though the origin of the synagogue is not entirely clear, it seems to have arisen in the postexilic community during the intertestamental period. A town could establish a synagogue if there were at least ten men. In normative Judaism of the NT period, the OT scripture was read and discussed in the synagogue by the men who were present (see the Mishnah, m. Megillah 3-4; m. Berakhot 2).

[6:9]  ²⁰ tn Grk “the so-called Synagogue of the Freedmen.” The translation of the participle λεγομένης (legomenh") by the phrase “as it was called” is given by L&N 87.86. “Freedmen” would be slaves who had gained their freedom, or the descendants of such people (BDAG 594-95 s.v. Λιβερτῖνος).

[6:9]  ²¹ tn Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.
