Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem , and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.

Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

and he ranged them, as a great multitude is ordered for the war.

He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.

And one shall think to war against another, city against city, place against place, people against people, and kingdom against kingdom.

And the men of Israel , beside Benjamin , were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.

For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

and they possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in them, and laid up victual for the provision of war: for their fields were newly reaped.

for the sword and their destruction draweth near, and nation shall rise up against nation to battle with weapons in their hands.
