You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD."

8. "When Israel was a child I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son."

Answer: Hosea 11:1

The verse, "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son," is from Hosea 11:1. Christians believe the verse is prophecy pertaining to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hosea is one of twelve books in the Minor Prophet section of the Old Testament.

10. "Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying: "... be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man."

Answer: 1 Kings 2:1-2

The verses are from 1 Kings 2:1-2 telling of David, while on his deathbed, turning over the kingship of Israel to his son Solomon. Previously, Adonijah, a half-brother of Solomon, had attempted to ascend to power in a bloodless coup. However, Adonijah was derailed in his quest by Bathsehba and Nathan.

For the record, 1 Kings 2:1-2 reads this way in their entirety in the NKJV: "Now the days of David drew near that he should die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying: 'I go the way of all the earth; be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man.'"
