Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Otherwise the king and all the people with him will be swallowed up.’”2 Samuel 15:23Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by.
