1 Samuel 23:9-12 Now when David understood that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest: Bring hither the ephod. . . .

1 Samuel 28:6 And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.

1 Samuel 30:7,8 And he said to Abiathar, the priest, the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. . . .

Ezra 2:63 And Athersatha said to them, that they should not eat of the holy of holies, till there arose a priest learned and perfect.

Nehemiah 7:65 And Athersatha said to them, that they should not eat of the holies of holies, until there stood up a priest learned and skilful.

2 Corinthians 12:15 But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls: although loving you more, I be loved less.

Philippians 1:7,8 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that, in my bands and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy. . . .

Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people.

Hebrews 4:15 For we have not a high priest who cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.

Hebrews 9:12,24 Neither by the blood of goats or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. . . .
