- Genesis 14:18–20
Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine—since he was priest of God Most High—
Commentary on Genesis 14:18–201 voice
But one who is victorious should not claim the victory for himself; rather, he should attribute it to God. This is the teaching of Abraham, who became more humble, not more proud, in victory. Indeed, he offered a sacrifice and gave tithes; for this reason too, he received the blessing of Melchizedek, which means in translation "king of justice, king of peace." He was indeed the priest of the most high God.

- Genesis 20:1

Commentary on Genesis 20:11 voice
We have read from the book of Genesis the story where it is related that after the appearance of the three men, after the destruction of Sodom and the salvation of Lot, either due to his hospitality or because of his kinship to Abraham, "Abraham departed thence," the text says, "to the south" and came to the king of the Philistines. It is related also that he made an agreement with Sarah his wife that she should not say that she was Abraham's wife but his sister.

- 2 Chronicles 36:23
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:231 voice
The Lord his God be with him - Let the Word of the Lord be his helper, and let him go up. - Targum. See the notes on the beginning of Ezra. Thus ends the history of a people the most fickle, the most ungrateful, and perhaps on the whole the most sinful, that ever existed on the face of the earth. But what a display does all this give of the power, justice, mercy, and long-suffering of the Lord! There was no people like this people, and no God like their God.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Ezra 1:1–4
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
Commentary on Ezra 1:1–41 voice

Athanasius of Alexandria· Commentary (church-history corpus), 373Patristic
- Job 4:1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
Commentary on Job 4:11 voice
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? It has been already declared above, what there is set forth in the interpretation of these names. Therefore, because we are in haste to reach the unexamined parts, we forbear to unfold again what has been already delivered. Accordingly this is to be heedfully observed, that they, that bear the semblance of heretics, begin to speak softly, saying, If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book V, 604Patristic
- Job 8:1
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
Commentary on Job 8:11 voice
Then answered Bildad, the Shuhite, and said, How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the breath of the words of thy mouth be multiplied? To the unrighteous the words of the righteous are ever grievous, and such as they hear spoken for edification, they bear as a burthen put upon them. As Bildad, the Shuhite, plainly indicates in his own case, when he says, How long wilt thou speak these things? For he that says how long, shews that he cannot any longer bear words of edification.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book VIII, 604Patristic
- Job 11:1
Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
Commentary on Job 11:11 voice
Since Zophar does not recognize Job's virtue and the goal of his consistent remarks, he says to Job, "Do not talk much." The word of holy Scripture teaches us to control our words. It says, "When words are many, transgression is not lacking." Here Scripture …
Didymus the Blind· COMMENTARY ON JOB 11:3, 398Patristic
- Job 32:1
So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Commentary on Job 32:11 voice
These three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just in his own eyes. In the expression, because he seemed to be just in his own eyes, the author of this sacred history intended to refer to the opinion of Job's friends, and did not himself accuse him of being puffed up with pride.

With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
Commentary on Psalms 44:21 voice
