These two kings were defeated by Moses and the people of Israel. Moses, the LORD's servant, gave their land to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and to half the tribe of Manasseh, to be their possession.

These are the blessings that Moses, the man of God, pronounced on the people of Israel before he died.

So Moses, the LORD's servant, died there in the land of Moab, as the LORD had said he would.

For David served God's purposes in his own time, and then he died, was buried with his ancestors, and his body rotted in the grave.

But this did not happen to the one whom God raised from death.

From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus and an apostle chosen and called by God to preach his Good News.

From Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I was chosen and sent to help the faith of God's chosen people and to lead them to the truth taught by our religion,

From James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: Greetings to all God's people scattered over the whole world.

I am the living one! I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I have authority over death and the world of the dead.

Moses said to Joshua, "Pick out some men to go and fight the Amalekites tomorrow. I will stand on top of the hill holding the stick that God told me to carry."

As long as Moses held up his arms, the Israelites won, but when he put his arms down, the Amalekites started winning.

In this way Joshua totally defeated the Amalekites.

(SEE 13:3)

These are the spies Moses sent to explore the land. He changed the name of Hoshea son of Nun to Joshua.

But strengthen the determination of your helper, Joshua son of Nun. He will lead Israel to occupy the land.'

The LORD your God himself will go before you and destroy the nations living there, so that you can occupy their land; and Joshua will be your leader, as the LORD has said.

Then the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun and told him, "Be confident and determined. You will lead the people of Israel into the land that I promised them, and I will be with you."

Joshua son of Nun was filled with wisdom, because Moses had appointed him to be his successor. The people of Israel obeyed Joshua and kept the commands that the LORD had given them through Moses.

Later on, our ancestors who received the tent from their fathers carried it with them when they went with Joshua and took over the land from the nations that God drove out as they advanced. And it stayed there until the time of David.

Moses and his helper Joshua got ready, and Moses began to go up the holy mountain.

Then Joshua son of Nun, who had been Moses' helper since he was a young man, spoke up and said to Moses, "Stop them, sir!"

anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king of Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet.

King Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there a prophet here through whom we can consult the LORD?" An officer of King Joram's forces answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He was Elijah's assistant."

but when she came to Elisha, she bowed down before him and took hold of his feet. Gehazi was about to push her away, but Elisha said, "Leave her alone. Can't you see she's deeply distressed? And the LORD has not told me a thing about it."

Elisha turned to Gehazi and said, "Hurry! Take my walking stick and go. Don't stop to greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, don't take time to answer. Go straight to the house and hold my stick over the boy."

He went back into the house, and Elisha asked him, "Where have you been?" "Oh, nowhere, sir," he answered.

And now Naaman's disease will come upon you, and you and your descendants will have it forever!" When Gehazi left, he had the disease---his skin was as white as snow.

This, however, is not the way it shall be among you. If one of you wants to be great, you must be the servant of the rest;

and if one of you wants to be first, you must be the slave of the others---

Whoever is faithful in small matters will be faithful in large ones; whoever is dishonest in small matters will be dishonest in large ones.
