2 Samuel 19:2

King David longed to go out to Absalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, since he was dead.

But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned in him.

The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.

I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.

The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

like the dew of Hermon, that comes down on the hills of Zion; for there Yahweh gives the blessing, even life forever more.

The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cup bearer and the chief baker.

He said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you plan to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and said, “Surely this thing is known.”

About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,

Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.

The king was much moved, and went up to the room over the gate, and wept. As he went, he said, “My son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! I wish I had died for you, Absalom, my son, my son!”

The king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, “My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son!”

shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’

and their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, three.

Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.

Many say, “Who will show us any good?” Yahweh, let the light of your face shine on us.

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh.

In the light of the king’s face is life. His favor is like a cloud of the spring rain.

Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh.

for the king’s word is supreme. Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”

He knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities. The land was desolate, with its fullness, because of the noise of his roaring.

Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.

Because of the greatness that he gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he wanted to, and he kept alive whom he wanted to. He raised up whom he wanted to, and he put down whom he wanted to.

The king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions mauled them, and broke all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den.

Let’s acknowledge Yahweh. Let’s press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”

“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.

The remnant of Jacob will be among many peoples, like dew from Yahweh, like showers on the grass, that don’t wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.

“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

Ask of Yahweh rain in the spring time, Yahweh who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.

You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
