most part for names of towns, people (along with their personal
or organizational titles), and also Feast days and other words
that may be of interest.

[HNV] The Acts of the Emissaries 25, World English Bible: Messianic Edition

[HNV Editor]

The Acts of the Emissaries, Chapter 25

   {25:1} Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three
 days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. {25:2} Then the high priest
 and the principal men of the Judeans informed him against Paul, and
 they begged him, {25:3} asking a favor against him, that he would
 summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way. {25:4}
 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at
 Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly. {25:5} "Let
 them therefore," said he, "that are in power among you go down with
 me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."

   {25:6} When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went
 down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and
 commanded Paul to be brought. {25:7} When he had come, the Judeans who
 had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him
 many and grievous charges which they could not prove, {25:8} while he
 said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against
 the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."

   {25:9} But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Judeans, answered
 Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged
 by me there concerning these things?"

   {25:10} But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat,
 where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Judeans, as you
 also know very well. {25:11} For if I have done wrong, and have
 committed anything worthy of death, I don't refuse to die; but if none
 of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up
 to them. I appeal to Caesar!"

   {25:12} Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council,
 answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go."

   {25:13} Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice
 arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus. {25:14} As he stayed there
 many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is
 a certain man left a prisoner by Felix; {25:15} about whom, when I was
 at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me,
 asking for a sentence against him. {25:16} To whom I answered that it
 is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction,
 before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had
 opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against
 him. {25:17} When therefore they had come together here, I didn't
 delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the
 man to be brought. {25:18} Concerning whom, when the accusers stood
 up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed; {25:19} but
 had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about
 one Yeshua, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. {25:20}
 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked
 whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged
 concerning these matters. {25:21} But when Paul had appealed to be
 kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until
 I could send him to Caesar."

   {25:22} Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man
 myself."

   "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."

   {25:23} So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with
 great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the
 commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of
 Festus, Paul was brought in. {25:24} Festus said, "King Agrippa, and
 all men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all
 the multitude of the Judeans petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and
 here, crying that he ought not to live any longer. {25:25} But when I
 found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself
 appealed to the emperor I determined to send him. {25:26} Of whom I
 have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought
 him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that,
 after examination, I may have something to write. {25:27} For it seems
 to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the
 charges against him."

[HNV] 2Chron 13, World English Bible: Messianic Edition

[HNV Editor]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

The Second Book of Chronicles, starting at chapter 13

   {13:1} In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign
 over Judah. {13:2} He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his
 mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was
 war between Abijah and Jeroboam. {13:3} Abijah joined battle with an
 army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and
 Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred
 thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor. {13:4} Abijah stood
 up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and
 said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: {13:5} Ought you not to know
 that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to
 David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
 {13:6} Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son
 of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. {13:7} There were
 gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened
 themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was
 young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.

   {13:8} "Now you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the
 hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and there
 are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.
 {13:9} Haven't you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of
 Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves after the ways
 of the peoples of other lands? so that whoever comes to consecrate
 himself with a young bull and seven rams, the same may be a priest of
 those who are no gods.

   {13:10} "But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not
 forsaken him; and we have priests ministering to the LORD, the sons of
 Aaron, and the Levites in their work: {13:11} and they burn to the
 LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet
 incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and
 the menorah of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep
 the instruction of the LORD our God; but you have forsaken him.
 {13:12} Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the
 [1>]shofars[<1] of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of
 Israel, don't fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you
 shall not prosper."

   {13:13} But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so
 they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. {13:14} When
 Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and
 they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the
 [2>]shofars[<2]. {13:15} Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as
 the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and
 all Israel before Abijah and Judah. {13:16} The children of Israel
 fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand. {13:17}
 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there
 fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. {13:18}
 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the
 children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God
 of their fathers. {13:19} Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took
 cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns,
 and Ephron with its towns. {13:20} Jeroboam didn't recover strength
 again in the days of Abijah. The LORD struck him, and he died. {13:21}
 But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became
 the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters. {13:22} The rest
 of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in
 the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

   {14:1} So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the
 city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the
 land was quiet ten years. {14:2} Asa did that which was good and right
 in the eyes of the LORD his God: {14:3} for he took away the foreign
 altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down
 the Asherim, {14:4} and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of
 their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. {14:5} Also he
 took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun
 images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. {14:6} He built
 fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war
 in those years, because the LORD had given him rest. {14:7} For he
 said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, and make walls around them,
 with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we
 have sought the LORD our God; we have sought him, and he has given us
 rest on every side." So they built and prospered. {14:8} Asa had an
 army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred
 thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two
 hundred eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor. {14:9}
 There came out against
