This publication contains King James Bible (1611, Pure Cambridge Version) translation. And it holds a total of 38,072 references linking up all the books, chapters and verses.
How the general Bible-navigation works:
● A Testament has an index of its books.
● Each book has a reference to The Testament it belongs to.
● Each book has a reference to the previous and or next book.
● Each book has an index of its chapters.
● Each chapter has a reference to the book it belongs to.
● Each verse is numbered and reference the chapter it belongs to.
● Each verse starts on a new line for better readability.
● Any reference in an index brings you to the location.
● The Built-in table of contents reference all books in all formats.
Also included is the American Tract Society Bible Dictionary; It holds 2299 entries on topics related to The Bible and is for general use in the study of its scriptures. It can be classified as a required reference book for any good study library, first published in 1859 by William Rand.
And the combination of King James Bible and its navigation makes this ebook unique. If you love the original old solid Bible dictionaries or Concordances and would like to have them all mixed together with The King James Bible (1611, Pure Cambridge Version), easily accessible, then this release is exactly that.

A -
American T.S.
The first letter in almost all alphabets. In Hebrew, it is called aleph, in Greek, Alpha
a
, the last letter in the Greek alphabet being Omega
a
. Both the Hebrews
a
and Greeks used their letters
a
as numerals; and hence A (aleph or Alpha
a
) denoted one, or the first. So our Lord
a
says, "I am Alpha
a
and Omega
a
, the beginning and the end, the first and the last;" thus declaring his eternity and that he is the cause and end of all things, Rev 1:8; Rev 1:11; Rev 21:6; Rev 22:13; Isa 44:6; Isa 48:12; Col 1:15-18.

Aaron -
American T.S.
The son
a
of Amram and Jochabed, of the tribe
a
of Levi
a
, and brother
a
of Moses
a
and Miriam
a
, Exo 6:20; born about the year
a
B. C. 1574. He was three
a
years older than Moses
a
, Exo 7:7; and was the spokesman and assistant of the latter in bringing Israel
a
out of Egypt
a
, Exo 4:16. His wife was Elisheba
a
, daughter of Amminadab
a
; and his sons, Nadab
a
, Abihu
a
, Eleazar
a
, and Ithamar
a
. He was 83 years old when God
a
summoned him to join Moses
a
in the desert
a
near Horeb
a
. Cooperating with his brother
a
in the exodus
a
from Egypt
a
, Exo 4:1-16:36, he held up his hands in the battle with Amalek
a
, Exo 17:1-16; and ascended Mount Sinai
a
with him to see the glory of God
a
, Exo 24:1; Exo 24:2; Exo 24:9-11. Aarons chief distinction consisted in the choice of him and his male posterity for the priesthood. He was consecrated the first high priest
a
by Gods
a
directions, Exo 28:1-29:46 Lev 8:1-36; and was afterwards confirmed in his office by the destruction of Korah
a
and his company, by the staying of the plague
a
at his intercession
a
, and by the budding of his rod
a
, Num 16:1-17:13. He was faithful
a
and self-sacrificing in the duties of his office, and meekly "held his peace" when his sons Nadab
a
and Abihu
a
were slain, Lev 10:1-3. Yet he fell sometimes into grievous sins: he made the golden calf
a
at Sinai
a
, Exo 32:1-22; he joined Miriam
a
in sedition
a
against Moses
a
, Num 12:1-16; and with Moses
a
disobeyed God
a
at Kadesh, Num 20:8-12. God
a
, therefore did not permit him to enter the promised
a
land; but he died on Mount Hor
a
, in Edom
a
, in the fortieth year
a
after leaving Egypt
a
, at the age of about 123 years, Num 20:22-29; Num 33:39. In Deu 10:6, he is said to have died at Mosera, which was probably the station in the valley
a
west of Mount Hor
a
, whence he ascended into the mount. The Arabs still pretend to show his tomb
a
on the mount, and highly venerate it. In his office as high priest
a
, Aaron was an eminent type
a
of Christ
a
, being "called of God
a
," and anointed; bearing the names
a
of the tribes on his breast; communicating Gods
a
will by Urim and Thummim
a
; entering the Most Holy place on the Day
a
of Atonement
a
, "not without blood
a
;" and interceding for and blessing
a
the people of God

a
of Aaron
a

Abana, and pharpar -
American T.S.
Rivers of Damascus
a
, 2Ki 5:12. The Abana, (or, Amana
a
), was undoubtedly the present Barada, the Chrysorrhoas of the Greeks. It is a clear, cold, and swift mountain
a
stream, rising in Anti-Lebanon, north
a
east
a
of Hermon
a
, flowing south east
a
into the plain
a
, and near Damascus
a
turning eastward, skirting the northern wall of the city
a
, and terminating 20 miles east
a
in one of three
a
large lakes. It is a perennial river
a
, and so copious, that though no less than nine or ten branches
a
or canals are drawn off from it to irrigate the plain
a
and supply the city
a
and the villages around it, the stream is a large one to the end. The only other independent river
a
of any size in the territory of Damascus
a
is the Awaj, which crosses the plain
a
south of Damascus
a
, and enters the southernmost of the three
a
lakes above referred to. This is supposed to be the Pharpar
a
of the Bible
a
. As these rivers of Damascus
a
were never dry, but made the region they watered like the Garden of Eden
a
for fertility and beauty, Naaman
a
might well contrast them with most of "the waters of Israel
a
," which dry up under the summer

Abel -
American T.S.
1.
The second son
a

a
, and offered to God
a
a sacrifice
a
from his flocks
a
, at the same time
a
that Cain
a
his brother
a
offered the fruits of the earth
a
. God
a
had respect to Abels sacrifice
a
, and not to Cains; hence Cain
a
in anger
a
killed Abel, Gen 4:1-26. It was "by faith
a
" that Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice
a
than Cain
a
; that is, his heart was right towards God
a
, and he worshipped Him in trustful obedience to the divine directions. His offering
a
, made by the shedding of blood
a
, was that of a penitent sinner confiding in the atonement
a
ordained of God
a
; and it was accepted, "God
a
testifying of his gifts
a
," probably by fire
a
from heaven
a
; "by which he obtained witness
a
that he was righteous," that is, justified, Heb 11:4. "The blood
a
of Abel" called from the ground for vengeance
a
, Gen 4:10; but the blood
a
of Christ
a
claims forgiveness and salvation
a
for his people, Heb 12:24; 1Jo 1:7;

Abiathar -
American T.S.
son
a
of Ahimelech
a
, and tenth high priest
a
of the Jews
a
. When Saul
a
sent his emissaries to Nob
a
, to destroy all the priests there, Abiathar, who was young, fled to David
a
in the wilderness
a
, 1Sa 22:11-23, with whom he continued in the character of priest
a
, 1Sa 23:9; 1Sa 30:7. Being confirmed in the high priesthood on Davids accession to the throne
a
, he aided in bringing up the ark to Jerusalem
a
, 1Co 15:11; 1Co 15:12, and adhered to David
a
during the rebellion of Absalom
a
, 2Sa 15:35, but afterwards was led to follow Adonijah
a
, thus strangely betraying his royal friend
a
in his old age. Solomon
a
succeeding to the throne
a
, degraded him from the priesthood, and sent him to Anathoth
a
, 1Ki 2:26; 1Ki 2:27; thus fulfilling the prediction made to Eli
a
150 years before, 1Sa 2:27-36. Saul
a
, it would appear, had transferred the dignity of the high priesthood from the line of Ithamar
a
, to which Eli
a
belonged, to that of Eleazar
a
, by conferring the office upon Zadok
a
. Thus there were, at the same time
a
, two high priests in Israel
a
; Abiathar with David
a
, and Zadok
a
with Saul
a
. This double priesthood continued from the death
a
of Ahimelech
a
till the reign of Solomon
a
, after which the office was held by Zadok
a
and his race
a
alone. A difficulty arises from the circumstance that, in 1Ki 2:27, Abiathar is said to be deprived of the priests office by Solomon
a
; while in 2Sa 8:17; 1Ch 18:16; 1Ch 24:3; 1Ch 24:6; 1Ch 24:31, Ahimelech
a
the son
a
of Abiathar is said to be high priest
a
along with Zadok
a
. The most probable solution is, that both father
a
and son
a
each bore the two names
a
Ahimelech
a
and Abiathar, as was not at all unusual among the Jews
a
. See under ABIGAIL
a
. In this was also we may remove the difficulty arising from Mar 2:26, where Abiathar is said to have given David
a
the showbread, in allusion to 1Sa 21:1-6, where it is Ahimelech
a
.

the passover-lamb was set apart; it was killed on the fourteenth towards sunset, and eaten the same evening

a
with common
a
fire
a
instead of that kept perpetually on the altar
a
of burnt-offering, Lev 10:1-2; Lev 16:12; Num 16:46. As this is immediately followed by the prohibition of wine
a
to the priests when ministering in the tabernacle
a
, it is not improbable that Nadab
a
and Abihu were intoxicated when thus transgressing. Their death
a
is a solemn warning not to presume to worship God
a
except with incense
a
kindled at the one altar
a
which Christ
a
hath sanctified, Heb 10:10-14. It is a dangerous thing, in the service of God

a
of Ner, Sauls uncle, and the general of his armies, 1Sa 14:50. For seven

Abomination -
American T.S.
A term applied in Scripture
a
to objects of great detestation. Idols and their worship were so named, because they robbed God
a
of his honor, while the rites themselves were impure and cruel, Deu 7:25; Deu 7:26; Deu 12:31. The term was used respecting the Hebrews
a
in Egypt
a
, Gen 43:32; Exo 8:26, either because they ate and sacrificed
a
animals held sacred by the Egyptians, or because they did not observe those ceremonies in eating
a
which made a part of the religion of Egypt
a
; and in Gen 46:34, because they were "wandering shepherds
a
," a race
a
of whom had grievously oppressed Egypt
a
.

Abomination of desolation -
American T.S.
The ABOMINATION
a
OF DESOLATION foretold by, Dan
a
9:27; denotes, probably, the image
a
of Jupiter
a
, erected in the temple
a
of Jerusalem
a
by command of Antiochus Epiphanes. But by the ABOMINATION
a
of Desolation spoken of by our Lord
a
, Mat 24:15; Mar 13:14, and foretold as about to be seen at Jerusalem
a
during the last siege of that city
a
by the Romans under Titus
a
, is probably meant the Roman army, whose standards had the images of their gods
a
and emperors upon them, and were worshipped in the precincts of the temple
a
when that and the city
a
were taken. Luk 21:20. See ARMOR.

Abraham -
American T.S.
Father
a
of a multitude, Gen 17:4; Gen 17:5; the great founder of the Jewish nation. He was a son
a
of Terah
a
, a descendant of Shem
a
, and born in Ur, a city
a
of Chaldea
a
, A.M. 2008, B. C. 1996, Gen 11:27; Gen 11:28. Here he lived seventy years, when at the call of God
a
he left his idolatrous kindred, and removed to Haran
a
, in Mesopotamia
a
, Act 7:2-4, accompanied by his Father
a
, his wife Sarai, his brother
a
Nahor
a
, and his nephew Lot
a
. A few years after, having buried his Father
a
, he again removed at the call of God
a
, with his wife and nephew, and entered the land of promise
a
as a nomad or wandering shepherd
a
. Sojourning for a time
a
at Shechem
a
, he built here, as was his custom, an alter to the Lord
a
, who appeared to him, and promised
a
that land to his seed
a
. Removing from place to place for convenience of water
a
and pasturage
a
, he was at length driven by a famine
a
into Egypt
a
, where he dissembled in calling his wife his sister
a
, Gen 12:1-20. Returning to Canaan
a
rich in flocks
a
and herds, he left Lot
a
to dwell in the fertile valley
a
of the lower Jordan
a
, and pitched his own tents in Mamre
a
, Gen 13:1-18. A few years after, he rescued Lot
a
and his friends from captivity
a
, and received the blessing
a
of Melchizedek
a
, Gen 14:1-24. Again God
a
appeared to him, promised
a
that his seed
a
should be like the stars for number
a
, and foretold their oppression in Egypt
a
400 years, and their return to possess the promised
a
land, Gen 15:1-21. But the promise
a
of a son
a
being yet unfulfilled, Sarai gave him Hagar
a
her maid for a secondary wife, of whom Ishmael
a
was born, Gen 16:1-16. After thirteen years, God
a
again appeared to him, and assured him that the heir of the promise
a
should yet be born of his wife, whose name was then changed to Sarah
a
. He established also the covenant
a
of circumcision
a
, Gen 17:1-27. Here, too, occurred the visit of the three
a
angels, and the memorable intercession
a
with the Angel-Jehovah for the inhabitants of Sodom
a
, Gen 18:1-33. After this, Abraham journeyed
a
south to Gerah
a
, where he again called Sarah
a
his sister
a
. In this region Isaac
a
was born; and soon after, Hagar
a
and Ishmael
a
were driven out to seek a new home, Gen 21:1-34. About twenty-five years after, God
a
put to trial the faith
a
of Abraham, by commanding him to sacrifice
a
Isaac
a
, his son
a
and the heir of the promise
a
, upon Mount Moriah
a
, Gen 22:1-24. Twelve years after, Sarah
a
died, and the cave
a
of Machpelag was bought for a burial
a
- place, Gen 23:1-20. Abraham sent his steward, and obtained a wife for Isaac
a
from his pious kindred in Mesopotamia
a
, Gen 24:1-67. He himself also married Keturah
a
, and had six sons, each one the founder of a distinct people in Arabia
a
. At the age of 175, full of years and honors, he died, and was buried by his sons in the same tomb
a
with Sarah
a
, Gen 25:1-34. The character of Abraham is one of the most remarkable in Scripture
a
. He was a genuine oriental patriarch, a prince in the land; his property was large, his retinue very numerous, and he commanded the respect of the neighboring people: and yet he was truly a stranger
a
and a pilgrim, the only land he possessed
a
being the burial
a
-place he had purchased. Distinguished by his integrity, generosity, and hospitality
a
, he was most of all remarkable for his simple and unwavering faith
a
, a faith
