57	GEN 3:1	God made lots of animals, but the snake was the animal that had the most brains. He was really smart. One day, the snake went to the woman and said to her, “Did God say, ‘You can’t eat fruit from any of the trees in the garden’? Is that true?”
65	GEN 3:9	God called out to the man, “Where are you?”
67	GEN 3:11	God asked the man, “How do you know that you are naked? Did you eat some of that fruit from the tree that I told you not to eat from?”
69	GEN 3:13	Then God said to the woman, “Why did you do that bad thing?” The woman said, “That snake tricked me. That’s the reason why I ate that fruit.”
86	GEN 4:6	God said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why do you look sad?
89	GEN 4:9	Later, God said to Cain, “Where is your brother, Abel?” Cain said, “I don’t know where my brother is. It’s not my job to look after him.”
162	GEN 7:2	You have to take every sort of animal with you into that big boat. You know the sorts of animals that are right for you to give to me? Well, get 7 males and 7 females from each of those sorts of animals. And get all the other animals too, the animals that are not right to give to me. Get one male and one female from each of those sorts of animals. They all have to go on to the big boat.
369	GEN 15:8	Abram said, “I know you are very powerful, God, but how can I be really sure that I will get all this country?”
390	GEN 16:8	He said, “Hagar, you belong to Sarai, so why are you sitting out here in the desert? Where are you going?” Hagar said, “I’m running away from my boss, Sarai. She is too hard on me.”
434	GEN 18:9	Then they said to Abraham, “Where is your wife, Sarah?” Abraham said, “She is right here, in our tent.”
438	GEN 18:13	God said, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say to herself, ‘I can’t have a baby now, I am too old’?
448	GEN 18:23	Abraham went up close to God and asked him, “Are you going to kill all the good people, as well as the bad people?
449	GEN 18:24	There might be 50 good people that live the right way down there in that town. Will you still finish up that town? Or will you save that town to save those 50 good people?
453	GEN 18:28	What if you find only 45 good people in that town, will you still finish up that town?” God said, “If I find 45 good people there, I will not finish up that town.”
454	GEN 18:29	Then Abraham asked God again, he said, “What if you find only 40 good people there?” God said, “If I find 40 good people there, I will not finish up that town.”
455	GEN 18:30	Then Abraham said, “God, please don’t get angry with me, but I will say a little bit more. What if you find only 30 good people in that town?” God said, “If I find 30 good people there, I will not finish up that town.”
456	GEN 18:31	Then Abraham said, “I know that I am being brave to talk to God like this, but what if you find only 20 good people in that town?” God said, “If I find 20 good people there, I will not finish up that town.”
457	GEN 18:32	Then Abraham said, “God, please don’t get angry with me, but I will ask one more question. What if you find only 10 good people in that town?” God said, “If I find 10 good people there, I will not finish up that town.”
463	GEN 19:5	and they all yelled out to Lot. They said, “Where are the 2 men that came to your house today? Bring them out here so that we can sleep with them like a man sleeps with his wife.”
500	GEN 20:4	Abimelek said, “But God, I haven’t married Sarah yet. I have not slept with her, like a man sleeps with his wife. Me and my people, we haven’t done anything wrong. Will you kill us for nothing?
505	GEN 20:9	Then Abimelek sent somebody to get Abraham to come to that meeting. Abimelek said to Abraham, “Look, you have made trouble for me and my people. What did I do to you, so that you pay me back with this trouble? You have done a bad thing to us.
506	GEN 20:10	Why did you do that? Why did you tell us that Sarah is your sister?”
531	GEN 21:17	Ishmael was crying too, and God heard him, and he sent an angel messenger from heaven to talk to Hagar. The angel said, “Why are you upset? Don’t worry. God has heard Ishmael crying, under that tree.
543	GEN 21:29	Abimelek asked him, “Why did you put these 7 sheep to one side? What do you mean by that?”
555	GEN 22:7	Isaac said, “Dad.” Abraham said, “Yes, son?” And Isaac said, “We’ve got the wood, and the fire, but where is the sheep that we are going to burn to show respect to God?”
559	GEN 22:11	but God’s angel messenger called out to him from heaven. He said, “Abraham, Abraham.” Abraham stopped, and he said, “Yes?”
7222	1SA 1:8	Her husband used to ask her, “Why are you crying? You have to eat. Don’t be sad. Don’t keep on worrying that you have no sons. I love you very much anyway.”
7228	1SA 1:14	He said, “Why did you come here drunk? Throw that wine away.”
7240	1SA 1:26	Hannah said to him, “Old man, do you remember me? A long time ago, I stood here with you. You heard the way I cried and prayed to God.
7265	1SA 2:23	Eli said to his 2 sons, “Lots of people tell me that you do bad things. Why are you doing that?
7282	1SA 3:4	God called out to the boy, “Samuel.” The boy answered, “Yes? What is it?”
7283	1SA 3:5	And he got up and ran to Eli and said, “Yes? What is it? You called out to me.” Eli answered, “No, I didn’t call you. Go back and lie down.” So Samuel went back and lay down.
7284	1SA 3:6	Then God called out again, “Samuel.” So the boy got up again and went to Eli and said, “Yes? What is it? You called out to me.” The old man said, “No, boy, I didn’t call out to you. Go back and lie down.”
7286	1SA 3:8	After that, God called out again, “Samuel.” So the boy got up, and he went to Eli again and said, “Yes? What is it? You called out to me.” Then the old man knew that it was God that called out to him,
7294	1SA 3:16	But the old man called out to him, “Samuel, come here.” Samuel answered, “Yes? What is it?”
7295	1SA 3:17	The old man asked, “What did God say to you? Tell me straight. If you don’t tell me straight, God will be very angry with you.”
7302	1SA 4:3	After that, the Israel mob went back to their camp. The elders asked each other, “Why did God let them beat our mob? Let’s go to Shiloh, to get God’s special box. If we have that box with us, God will help us whenever we fight the Philistia mob.”
7305	1SA 4:6	The Philistia mob heard it, and they asked each other, “What’s happening? Why are the Israel mob shouting?” Then they heard that the Israel mob had God’s special box with them,
7312	1SA 4:13	Eli was a really old man by this time. He was 98 years old, and he was blind. He sat in a chair beside the road. He worried about God’s special box. He was afraid something bad might happen to it. After the messenger arrived at that place, he went around and told the bad news, and lots of people started to cry. Eli heard it and called out to the man, “What’s happening? Why is everybody crying like that?”
7315	1SA 4:16	The man ran over to Eli and said, “Old man, I ran away from the fighting.” The old man asked, “What happened?”
7329	1SA 5:8	So they sent messengers to the bosses from other places of the Philistia nation to come and meet together at Ashdod. They asked them, “What will we do with this box of the God of the Israel mob?” They answered, “Send it to another place now, to the town called Gath.” So then they took the special box to Gath.
7357	1SA 7:3	Then Samuel asked them, “Is it true that you mob want to turn back to God? Well, you have to do this. Throw away all those statues made of wood and stone. Throw away those statues of women called Astarti. Those things do not belong to us Israel mob. They are from another place. You mob have to show respect only to God. Turn back to him. Give yourselves only to him. If you do that, he will save you from the Philistia mob.”
7399	1SA 9:6	But his working man said, “Wait a minute. What about that old man that tells God’s messages? He lives in this place. Everybody knows that he is God’s man. Whenever he says that something is going to happen, later it happens. We can ask him. He might tell us the place to look for the donkeys.”
7411	1SA 9:18	So Samuel waited for him at the town gate. You see, Saul hadn’t met that old man before. He didn’t know him, so he said to him, “They say there’s an old man that sees dreams from God, and he lives in this place. Where is his house?”
7452	1SA 11:5	Saul was out in the garden. As he came back with 2 bulls, he heard them crying and asked, “What’s happening? Why is everybody crying?” They told him the story the messengers said.
7576	1SA 15:14	But Samuel said, “Really? So how come I can hear animals crying? I can hear sheep, goats, cows and bulls.”
7581	1SA 15:19	So why didn’t you listen to him? Why did you do something that he said was wrong? You kept the best animals, so he is angry with you.”
7582	1SA 15:20	Saul was confused. He said, “What? Truly I listened to God. I did everything he told me to do. I killed everybody dead. But I brought their boss Agag back alive.
7594	1SA 15:32	Then Samuel said to the soldiers, “Where’s that Agag, the Amalek mob’s boss? Bring him to me.” They brought Agag to Samuel. Agag was not afraid, and he thought, “It looks like they will not kill me dead after all.”
7598	1SA 16:1	After that, God said to Samuel, “Saul is not a good boss any more. I will not help him now. Why do you keep on being sad for him? Forget about him now. Get a bottle of olive oil. Go and see that old man Jesse at the place called Bethlehem. I picked one of his sons to be the new big boss of Israel.”
7601	1SA 16:4	Samuel listened to God, and he went to Bethlehem. After he got there, the elders of the town came to meet him. They were really afraid. They were so frightened that they shook, and they asked, “Did you come with good news? Or are you angry with us?”
7608	1SA 16:11	Do you have another son?” Jesse answered, “Yes. There is my youngest son, David. But he is looking after the sheep out in the bush.” Samuel said, “Send somebody to get him and bring him here. We will wait for him. We can’t sit down and eat the meat without him.”
7628	1SA 17:8	Every day, Goliath used to go out into the middle and call out to the Israel mob like this, “Hey Israel mob. What are you waiting for? You call yourselves soldiers? Look at me. I’m a real soldier, from Philistia. You mob are just Saul’s working men. Listen. You pick one man and send him to me, so the 2 of us can fight.
7646	1SA 17:26	David said to the men that stood near him, “That man gives us shame. He doesn’t know God. Somebody has to shut him up. What will Saul give if somebody kills him? We can’t let him make fun of the true God and his army, no way.”
7648	1SA 17:28	David’s oldest brother, Eliab, heard them talking, and he was angry with David. He said to him, “Why did you come here? What about those few little sheep? Who is watching them today? You are doing wrong. Why do you try to make yourself big? I know what you are like. You just came here for fun, to see the fighting.”
7649	1SA 17:29	David asked, “Why are you angry with me? What did I do wrong? I’m just asking.”
7650	1SA 17:30	And he asked another man, “What will Saul give to the man that kills Goliath?” The man told him the same thing as before.
7663	1SA 17:43	Why are you coming at me with a stick? Do you think I’m a dog? All right, come. I will kill you dead, so the birds and the wild animals can eat your body. I will kill you dead properly.” And he called out to his gods and told them to curse David.
7686	1SA 18:8	Saul heard their words, and he was really angry. He thought, “They reckon David killed more enemy soldiers than me. Maybe they want to make him the boss of us Israel mob, instead of me?”
7713	1SA 19:5	He didn’t worry about dying. He bravely fought that Philistia man, Goliath, and killed him dead. God used him to really help the Israel mob. You saw it too, and you were happy about it. Why do you want to kill him? He did nothing wrong.”
7733	1SA 20:1	After that, David ran away from the community called Nayoth in the town called Ramah. He went to Jonathan’s place and asked him, “What have I done? What wrong thing did I do? Why does your father keep on looking for me, to kill me?”
7737	1SA 20:5	David said, “Tomorrow, people will come together for the new moon ceremony, as they always do. Lots of people will be at your father’s place to eat food together. He told me to come and eat with him there too. But for the first 2 nights I don’t want to be at the food table, but I will hide in the garden. Is that all right?
7738	1SA 20:6	If your father asks about me, tell him, ‘David asked me, “Is it all right for me to go to my home town, Bethlehem? Every year my family comes together there, to kill animals and burn them for God.” ’
7758	1SA 20:26	Saul noticed that he was not there, but he thought to himself, “Maybe something has happened to him, so he can’t eat at the ceremony?” (You see, God said that if something happened to somebody first, like maybe they touched a dead body, then they can’t eat at a special ceremony.) So Saul did not ask anybody about David.
7759	1SA 20:27	The next day, David’s chair was still empty. So Saul asked Jonathan, “Why is David not here? And he was not here yesterday.”
7764	1SA 20:32	Jonathan asked his father, “Why has he got to die? What wrong thing did he do?”
7776	1SA 21:2	After that, David went to a place called Nob. There was an old man there called Ahimelek. He used to look after God’s ceremonies. He saw David coming with no soldiers. There were just a few work-men with him. This made Ahimelek afraid. He was so frightened that he shook. He asked David, “Why did you come here all by yourself? Where are your soldiers? What happened?”
7778	1SA 21:4	Do you have any food? I need some. Maybe 5 loaves of bread? Or maybe some other kind of food?”
7783	1SA 21:9	David said to the old man, “I came with nothing. The big boss told me to go quickly, so I came without my spear and my long knife. Do you have one here?”
7802	1SA 22:12	Then Saul said, “Listen to me, son of Ahitub.” And Ahimelek said, “What is it, boss?”
7803	1SA 22:13	Saul asked, “Why do you want to trick me? You don’t think about me any more. You want to make David the big boss. You helped him with food, and you gave him a long knife. And you even prayed to God for him. David has turned against me. He’s just waiting to kill me dead some time.”
7858	1SA 24:17	After David said that, Saul asked him, “Is that really you, my son David?” And he cried out loud.
7872	1SA 25:8	You can ask your workers. They will tell you the same story. It is like we are your working men too, so please be good to us. I also heard that it is party time at your place. But think about us too. Can you give us some food?’”
7874	1SA 25:10	Then he asked them, “Who does this man David think he is? That son of Jesse is just like other workers that run away from their bosses.
7881	1SA 25:17	This boss of ours has made trouble for us now. Something really bad might happen to us here. Can you do something about it? He’s no good. I can’t talk to him at all.”
7914	1SA 26:6	There were 2 men with David. They were Ahimelek, the man who used to belong to the Heth mob, and Abishai, Zeruiah’s son. Zeruiah was David’s older sister. Her other son was Joab. David said to them, “I am going to go quietly into the middle of their camp, to where Saul is. Which of you 2 will do that with me?” Abishai said, “I’ll go with you.”
7922	1SA 26:14	David called out to Abner, “Hey, Abner. Can you hear me?” He answered, “Who’s that calling out? Who’s waking up the big boss?”
7923	1SA 26:15	David made fun of him, and he said, “Abner, what kind of man are you? You call yourself a big boss soldier, greater than all the other soldiers. But you don’t look after your boss. Just now somebody went into your camp and nearly killed him dead.
7924	1SA 26:16	You are a boss soldier for nothing. God should kill you, and your soldiers too. You mob don’t look after the big boss, the one God picked. Look there. Where’s the big boss’s spear? Where’s his billycan? I’ve got those 2 things here.”
7925	1SA 26:17	Saul heard David’s voice, and said, “David, my son. Is that you talking?” David answered, “Yes, boss. It’s me.
7926	1SA 26:18	Why do you always chase me? I did not do anything wrong. Why do you blame me?
7927	1SA 26:19	Listen carefully to me. Did God tell you to hate me? If yes, then I have to burn meat to give to him, so he will change his mind. But maybe it was some other men that told you to hate me? They hunted me away from my people, so God has to punish them. They don’t let me live in my country. I’m like a stranger. I have to live in another country now. The people there follow other gods. I can’t live for God properly.
7928	1SA 26:20	This place is a long way from God. I do not want to die here. I’m just nobody, not a boss man. Why do you keep on looking for me? You keep on chasing me like you are hunting for meat.”
7953	1SA 28:8	So Saul put on some working man’s clothes to make himself look different. Then, at night, he went with 2 of his men to look for that woman. He found her and said, “Will you talk to a dead man for me? I will call the dead man’s name, and you get him for me.”
7956	1SA 28:11	The woman answered, “All right, who do you want me to get for you?” Saul said, “That old man Samuel. Get him for me.”
7958	1SA 28:13	Saul said, “It’s all right. Don’t be frightened. What can you see?” She said, “I can see a spirit coming out of the ground here.”
7959	1SA 28:14	Saul asked, “What does it look like?” She said, “It’s an old man wearing long clothes.” Saul knew it was Samuel, and he got down on his knees and put his face near the ground to show respect to that spirit.
7960	1SA 28:15	Samuel said, “I was dead. Why did you wake me up? Why did you bring me back?” Saul stood up and answered, “Things are really bad for me now. The Philistia mob will try to kill me dead. God turned away from me, and he doesn’t answer me. He doesn’t talk to me through a man, or a dream. Nothing. That’s why I’m here now, to ask you what I have to do.”
7961	1SA 28:16	Samuel said, “Yes, God turned away from you. He is your enemy now. Why do you ask me to help you?
8028	2SA 1:3	David asked, “Where did you come from?” He answered, “I ran away from that hill called Gilboa, from that big fight.”
8029	2SA 1:4	David asked him, “What happened in that fight? Tell me.” He answered, “The Philistia mob killed dead lots of our soldiers, and our other soldiers ran away. Saul and his son Jonathan died too.”
8053	2SA 2:1	After that, David asked God, “What do I do now? Maybe I have to go back and stay at some place in Judah country?” God answered, “Yes, go.” David asked, “Which place?” God said, “To the town called Hebron.”
8265	2SA 11:3	He sent a messenger to ask, “Who is this woman?” The messenger came back and told him, “She is Bathsheba, Eliam’s daughter. Her husband is Uriah, who belongs to the Heth mob.”
8269	2SA 11:7	Uriah came, and David said, “Hello, Uriah. Tell me, how’s Joab? Is he all right? Are the soldiers from Israel all right? Are they fighting hard with the Ammon mob?” Uriah answered his questions.
8272	2SA 11:10	The next day, one working man told David, “Uriah did not go and sleep at his own house.” David said, “Go and get him.” Uriah came, and David asked him, “Why didn’t you go home and have a rest? You need a break from the fighting.”
8282	2SA 11:20	he might think that those soldiers died for nothing. He might get angry. He might ask you, ‘Why did you mob go close to the wall? You knew the Ammon mob will shoot arrows at you from the wall.
8283	2SA 11:21	Maybe you forgot that story about Abimelek, Gideon’s son. One time he fought against the people of the town called Thebez. A woman threw a big stone from the top of the wall, and it hit him, and he died. So why did you mob get so close to that wall?’ If the big boss asks you that, you can tell him this, ‘Uriah died too.’”
8308	2SA 12:19	But David saw that his working men talked quietly to each other like that. He worked out that the baby died. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They answered, “Yes.”
8310	2SA 12:21	His working men were confused. They said, “What’s going on? While the baby was alive, you lay on the floor. You cried, and you ate nothing. But after he died, you got up and ate. We don’t understand. Why didn’t you cry after he died?”
8394	2SA 15:2	And he used to get up early to go and stand at the town gate. People used to walk through that gate into Jerusalem whenever they went to see the big boss. You see, they used to go and ask David to help them sort out their problems. Absalom used to call out to them, “Hey, where are you from?” That person used to tell him the name of his tribe.
