The Bema
2 Corinthians 510 For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ that every one may
receive the things done in his body, according to
that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2
Corinthians 511 Knowing therefore the terror of
the Lord, we persuade men but we are made
manifest unto God and I trust also are made
manifest in your consciences.

The Bema
Romans 1410 But why dost thou judge thy
brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy
brother? for we shall all stand before the
judgment seat of Christ. Romans 1412 So then
every one of us shall give account of himself to
God.

1 Corinthians 310-15 According to the grace of
God which is given unto me, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and
another buildeth thereon. But let every man take
heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other
foundation can no man lay than that is laid,
which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon
this foundation gold, silver, precious stones,
wood, hay, stubble Every man's work shall be
made manifest for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed by fire and the
fire shall try every man's work of what sort it
is. If any man's work abide which he hath built
thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any
man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss
but he himself shall be saved yet so as by fire.

2 John 18 Look to yourselves, that we lose not

1 Corinthians 29-10 But as it is written, Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which
God hath prepared for them that love him. But God
hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things
of God.

1 Corinthians 211-12 For what man knoweth the
things of a man, save the spirit of man which is
in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man,
but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not
the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is
of God that we might know the things that are
freely given to us of God.

1 Corinthians 213 Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but
which the Holy Ghost teacheth comparing
spiritual things with spiritual.

King Lemuel Solomon?
13

1 Kings 113 And he had seven hundred wives,
princesses, and three hundred concubines and his
wives turned away his heart.

Ecclesiastes 726-28 And I find more bitter than
death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets,
and her hands as bands whoso pleaseth God shall
escape from her but the sinner shall be taken by
her. Behold, this have I found, saith the
preacher, counting one by one, to find out the
account Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find
not one man among a thousand have I found but a
woman among all those have I not found.

15
King Lemuel Solomon?
16
Solomon?
1 Kings 106-9 And she said to the king, It was
a true report that I heard in mine own land of
thy acts and of thy wisdom. Howbeit I believed
not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had
seen it and, behold, the half was not told me
thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame
which I heard. Happy are thy men, happy are
these thy servants, which stand continually
before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. Blessed be
the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set
thee on the throne of Israel because the LORD
loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee
king, to do judgment and justice.
17
Solomon?
1 Kings 1014 Now the weight of gold that came
to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore
and six talents of gold Revelation 1318 Here
is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count
the number of the beast for it is the number of
a man and his number is Six hundred threescore
and six.
18
Solomon?

Proverbs 311 The words of king Lemuel, the
prophecy that his mother taught him.

19
Solomon?

Ecclesiastes 11-2 The words of the Preacher,
the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of
vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities
all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 112 I the Preacher was king over
Israel in Jerusalem.
Ecclesiastes 727 Behold, this have I found,
saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find
out the account
Ecclesiastes 128-10 Vanity of vanities, saith
the preacher all is vanity. And moreover,
because the preacher was wise, he still taught
the people knowledge yea, he gave good heed, and
sought out, and set in order many proverbs. The
preacher sought to find out acceptable words and
that which was written was upright, even words of
truth.

20
Solomon?

Proverbs 41-2 Hear, ye children, the
instruction of a father, and attend to know
understanding. For I give you good doctrine,
forsake ye not my law.
Proverbs 43-4 For I was my father's son, tender
and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He
taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart
retain my words keep my commandments, and live.

21
Solomon?

1 Kings 111-4 But king Solomon loved many
strange women, together with the daughter of
Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites,
Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites Of the
nations concerning which the LORD said unto the
children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them,
neither shall they come in unto you for surely
they will turn away your heart after their gods
Solomon clave unto these in love. And he had
seven hundred wives, princesses, and three
hundred concubines and his wives turned away his
heart. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old,
that his wives turned away his heart after other
gods and his heart was not perfect with the LORD
his God, as was the heart of David his father.

22
Solomon?

Ecclesiastes 23 I sought in mine heart to give
myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with
wisdom and to lay hold on folly, till I might
see what was that good for the sons of men, which
they should do under the heaven all the days of
their life.

23
Solomon?

1 Kings 37-9 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast
made thy servant king instead of David my father
and I am but a little child I know not how to go
out or come in. And thy servant is in the midst
of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great
people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for
multitude. Give therefore thy servant an
understanding heart to judge thy people, that I
may discern between good and bad for who is able
to judge this thy so great a people?

24
Solomon?

1 Kings 117 And she said unto him, My lord,
thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine
handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall
reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

25
Solomon?

2 Samuel 1214 Howbeit, because by this deed
thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of
the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is
born unto thee shall surely die.
2 Samuel 1224 And David comforted Bathsheba his
wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her and
she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon
and the LORD loved him.
