Bible Verses About the Glory of Israel: 12

"He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind."

— 1 Samuel 15:29 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about the Glory of Israel want Scripture on 1 Samuel 15:29's netsach Yisrael — the LORD named Glory (or Strength) of Israel who does not lie or change his mind — not only the Hope of Israel miqweh title alone, the King of glory Psalm 24 title alone, or the Light of Israel or yisrael title alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about the Hope of Israel, Bible verses about the King of glory, Bible verses about the light of Israel, Bible verses about the God of truth, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about Christ, Bible verses about worship, Bible verses about salvation, and Bible verse of the day. Glory of Israel here means the 1 Samuel 15:29 title — distinct from hope-of-israel / king-of-glory / light-of-israel inventories alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, נֵצַח netsach (Strong's H5331; Bible Hub H5331) can mean glory / eminence / enduring strength (KJV often "Strength of Israel"), and יִשְׂרָאֵל yisrael (Strong's H3478; Bible Hub H3478) is Israel. 1 Samuel 15:29 joins them — He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind. This list tracks that Glory-of-Israel title and related God-glorified-for-Israel / unchanging-glory speech, not every hope-of-Israel, King-of-glory, or Light-of-Israel verse alone. (The "does not lie" angle of 1 Samuel 15:29 is also noted on the God of truth page; this hub owns the Glory-of-Israel title itself.)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 1 Samuel 15 presses that the Strength (Glory) of Israel will not lie nor repent — God is not as man (Bible Hub MHC 1 Samuel 15; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on 1 Samuel 15). (Hope of Israel, King of glory, and Light of Israel live on those pages; this list centers netsach Yisrael.)
