He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart.” The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.

And he sought H1245 (PielImpf) Ahaziah: H274 and they caught H3920 (QalImpf) him, (for he was hid H2244 (HithPtc) in Samaria,) H8111 and brought H935 (HiphImpf) him to Jehu: H3058 and when they had slain H4191 (HiphImpf) him, they buried H6912 (QalImpf) him: Because, said H559 (QalPerf) they, he is the son H1121 of Jehoshaphat, H3092 who sought H1875 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 with all his heart. H3824 So the house H1004 of Ahaziah H274 had no power H3581 to keep H6113 (QalInf) still the kingdom. H4467

και ειπεν του ζητησαι τον οχοζιαν και κατελαβον αυτον ιατρευομενον εν σαμαρεια και ηγαγον αυτον προς ιου και απεκτεινεν αυτον και εθαψαν αυτον οτι ειπαν υιος ιωσαφατ εστιν ος εζητησεν τον κυριον εν ολη καρδια αυτου και ουκ ην εν οικω οχοζια κατισχυσαι δυναμιν περι της βασιλειας

He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him prosper.

And he sought H1875 (QalInf) God H430 in the days H3117 of Zechariah, H2148 who had understanding H995 (HiphPtc) in the visions H7200 (QalInf) of God:^§ H430 and as long as H3117 he sought H1875 (QalInf) the Lord, H3068 God H430 made him to prosper. H6743 (HiphPerf)

2 Chronicles 26:5 Heb. in the seeing of God

και ην εκζητων τον κυριον εν ταις ημεραις ζαχαριου του συνιοντος εν φοβω κυριου και εν ταις ημεραις αυτου εζητησεν τον κυριον και ευοδωσεν αυτω κυριος

These sought their place among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.

these sought H1245 (PielPerf) their register H3791 among those that were reckoned by genealogy, H3187 (HithPtc) but they were not found: H4672 (NiphPerf) therefore were they, as polluted, H1351 (PualImpf) put from the priesthood. H3550

ουτοι εζητησαν γραφην αυτων οι μεθωεσιμ και ουχ ευρεθησαν και ηγχιστευθησαν απο της ιερατειας

Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, for our little ones, and for all our possessions.

Then I proclaimed H7121 (QalImpf) a fast H6685 there, at the river H5104 of Ahava, H163 that we might afflict H6031 (HithInf) ourselves before H6440 our God, H430 to seek H1245 (PielInf) of him a right H3477 way H1870 for us, and for our little ones, H2945 and for all our substance. H7399

και εκαλεσα εκει νηστειαν επι τον ποταμον αουε του ταπεινωθηναι ενωπιον θεου ημων ζητησαι παρ αυτου οδον ευθειαν ημιν και τοις τεκνοις ημων και παση τη κτησει ημων

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”

For I was ashamed H954 (QalPerf) to require H7592 (QalInf) of the king H4428 a band of soldiers H2428 and horsemen H6571 to help H5826 (QalInf) us against the enemy H341 (QalActPtc) in the way: H1870 because we had spoken H559 (QalPerf) unto the king, H4428 saying, H559 (QalInf) The hand H3027 of our God H430 is upon all them for good H2896 that seek H1245 (PielPtc) him; but his power H5797 and his wrath H639 is against all them that forsake H5800 (QalActPtc) him.

οτι ησχυνθην αιτησασθαι παρα του βασιλεως δυναμιν και ιππεις σωσαι ημας απο εχθρου εν τη οδω οτι ειπαμεν τω βασιλει λεγοντες χειρ του θεου ημων επι παντας τους ζητουντας αυτον εις αγαθον και κρατος αυτου και θυμος αυτου επι παντας εγκαταλειποντας αυτον

So we fasted and begged our God for this, and he granted our request.

So we fasted H6684 (QalImpf) and besought H1245 (PielImpf) our God H430 for this: and he was intreated H6279 (NiphImpf) of us.

και ενηστευσαμεν και εζητησαμεν παρα του θεου ημων περι τουτου και επηκουσεν ημιν

Then the king said to me, “What is your request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.

Then the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, For what dost thou make request? H1245 (PielPtc) So I prayed H6419 (HithImpf) to the God H430 of heaven. H8064

και ειπεν μοι ο βασιλευς περι τινος τουτο συ ζητεις και προσηυξαμην προς τον θεον του ουρανου

When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, because a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

When Sanballat H5571 the Horonite, H2772 and Tobiah H2900 the servant, H5650 the Ammonite, H5984 heard H8085 (QalImpf) of it grieved H3415 (QalImpf) them exceedingly H7451 H1419 that there was come H935 (QalPerf) a man H120 to seek H1245 (PielInf) the welfare H2896 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

και ηκουσεν σαναβαλλατ ο αρωνι και τωβια ο δουλος ο αμμωνι και πονηρον αυτοις εγενετο οτι ηκει ανθρωπος ζητησαι αγαθον τοις υιοις ισραηλ

Then they said, “We will restore them, and will require nothing of them. We will do so, even as you say.” Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they would do according to this promise.

Then said H559 (QalImpf) they, We will restore H7725 (HiphImpf) them, and will require H1245 (PielImpf) nothing of them; so will we do H6213 (QalImpf) as thou sayest. H559 (QalActPtc) Then I called H7121 (QalImpf) the priests, H3548 and took an oath H7650 (HiphImpf) of them, that they should do H6213 (QalInf) according to this promise. H1697

και ειπαν αποδωσομεν και παρ αυτων ου ζητησομεν ουτως ποιησομεν καθως συ λεγεις και εκαλεσα τους ιερεις και ωρκισα αυτους ποιησαι ως το ρημα τουτο

Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine. Yet for all this, I didn’t demand the governor’s pay, because the bondage was heavy on this people.

Now that which was prepared H6213 (NiphPtc) for me daily H3117 was one H259 ox H7794 and six H8337 choice H1305 (QalPasPtc) sheep; H6629 also fowls H6833 were prepared H6213 (NiphPerf) for me, and once in ten H6235 days H3117 store H7235 (HiphInf) of all sorts of wine: H3196 yet for all H5973 this required H1245 (PielPerf) not I the bread H3899 of the governor, H6346 because the bondage H5656 was heavy H3513 (QalPerf) upon this people. H5971

και ην γινομενον εις ημεραν μιαν μοσχος εις και προβατα εξ εκλεκτα και χιμαρος εγινοντο μοι και ανα μεσον δεκα ημερων εν πασιν οινος τω πληθει και συν τουτοις αρτους της βιας ουκ εζητησα οτι βαρεια η δουλεια επι τον λαον τουτον

These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.

These sought H1245 (PielPerf) their register H3791 among those that were reckoned by genealogy, H3187 (HithPtc) but it was not found: H4672 (NiphPerf) therefore were they, as polluted, H1351 (PualImpf) put from the priesthood. H3550

ουτοι εζητησαν γραφην αυτων της συνοδιας και ουχ ευρεθη και ηγχιστευθησαν απο της ιερατειας

At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks and with singing, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and with harps.

And at the dedication H2598 of the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 they sought H1245 (PielPerf) the Levites H3881 out of all their places, H4725 to bring H935 (HiphInf) them to Jerusalem, H3389 to keep H6213 (QalInf) the dedication H2598 with gladness, H8057 both with thanksgivings, H8426 and with singing, H7892 with cymbals, H4700 psalteries, H5035 and with harps. H3658

και εν εγκαινιοις τειχους ιερουσαλημ εζητησαν τους λευιτας εν τοις τοποις αυτων του ενεγκαι αυτους εις ιερουσαλημ ποιησαι εγκαινια και ευφροσυνην εν θωδαθα και εν ωδαις κυμβαλιζοντες και ψαλτηρια και κινυραι

Then the king’s servants who served him said, “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.

Then said H559 (QalImpf) the king’s H4428 servants H5288 that ministered H8334 (PielPtc) unto him, Let there be fair H2896 H4758 young H5291 virgins H1330 sought H1245 (PielImpf) for the king: H4428

και ειπαν οι διακονοι του βασιλεως ζητηθητω τω βασιλει κορασια αφθορα καλα τω ειδει

Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.

Now when the turn H8447 of Esther, H635 the daughter H1323 of Abihail H32 the uncle H1730 of Mordecai, H4782 who had taken H3947 (QalPerf) her for his daughter, H1323 was come H5060 (HiphInf) to go in H935 (QalInf) unto the king, H4428 she required H1245 (PielPerf) nothing H1697 but what Hegai H1896 the king’s H4428 chamberlain, H5631 the keeper H8104 (QalActPtc) of the women, H802 appointed. H559 (QalImpf) And Esther H635 obtained H5375 (QalActPtc) favour H2580 in the sight H5869 of all them that looked H7200 (QalActPtc) upon her.

εν δε τω αναπληρουσθαι τον χρονον εσθηρ της θυγατρος αμιναδαβ αδελφου πατρος μαρδοχαιου εισελθειν προς τον βασιλεα ουδεν ηθετησεν ων αυτη ενετειλατο ο ευνουχος ο φυλαξ των γυναικων ην γαρ εσθηρ ευρισκουσα χαριν παρα παντων των βλεποντων αυτην

In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.

In those days, H3117 while Mordecai H4782 sat H3427 (QalActPtc) in the king’s H4428 gate, H8179 two H8147 of the king’s H4428 chamberlains, H5631 Bigthan^§ H904 and Teresh, H8657 of those which kept H8104 (QalActPtc) the door,^§ H5592 were wroth, H7107 (QalPerf) and sought H1245 (PielImpf) to lay H7971 (QalInf) hand H3027 on the king H4428 Ahasuerus. H325

Esther 2:21a Or, Bigthana
Esther 2:21b Heb. the threshold

και ελυπηθησαν οι δυο ευνουχοι του βασιλεως οι αρχισωματοφυλακες οτι προηχθη μαρδοχαιος και εζητουν αποκτειναι αρταξερξην τον βασιλεα

When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king’s presence.

And when inquisition H1245 (PualImpf) was made of the matter, H1697 it was found out; H4672 (NiphImpf) therefore they were both H8147 hanged H8518 (NiphImpf) on a tree: H6086 and it was written H3789 (NiphImpf) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 before H6440 the king. H4428

ο δε βασιλευς ητασεν τους δυο ευνουχους και εκρεμασεν αυτους και προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς καταχωρισαι εις μνημοσυνον εν τη βασιλικη βιβλιοθηκη υπερ της ευνοιας μαρδοχαιου εν εγκωμιω

But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.

And he thought H5869 scorn H959 (QalImpf) to lay H7971 (QalInf) hands H3027 on Mordecai H4782 alone; for they had shewed H5046 (HiphPerf) him the people H5971 of Mordecai: H4782 wherefore Haman H2001 sought H1245 (PielImpf) to destroy H8045 (HiphInf) all the Jews H3064 that were throughout the whole kingdom H4438 of Ahasuerus, H325 even the people H5971 of Mordecai. H4782

και εβουλευσατο αφανισαι παντας τους υπο την αρταξερξου βασιλειαν ιουδαιους

He also gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Susa to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to urge her to go in to the king to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.

Also he gave H5414 (QalPerf) him the copy H6572 of the writing H3791 of the decree H1881 that was given H5414 (NiphPerf) at Shushan H7800 to destroy H8045 (HiphInf) them, to shew H7200 (HiphInf) it unto Esther, H635 and to declare H5046 (HiphInf) it unto her, and to charge H6680 (PielInf) her that she should go in H935 (QalInf) unto the king, H4428 to make supplication H2603 (HithInf) unto him, and to make request H1245 (PielInf) before H6440 him for her people. H5971

και το αντιγραφον το εν σουσοις εκτεθεν υπερ του απολεσθαι αυτους εδωκεν αυτω δειξαι τη εσθηρ και ειπεν αυτω εντειλασθαι αυτη εισελθουση παραιτησασθαι τον βασιλεα και αξιωσαι αυτον περι του λαου μνησθεισα ημερων ταπεινωσεως σου ως ετραφης εν χειρι μου διοτι αμαν ο δευτερευων τω βασιλει ελαλησεν καθ ημων εις θανατον επικαλεσαι τον κυριον και λαλησον τω βασιλει περι ημων και ρυσαι ημας εκ θανατου
