Bible Verses About the Strength 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 Strength of Israel want Scripture on 1 Samuel 15:29's netsach Yisrael — KJV "Strength of Israel," NIV often "Glory of Israel" — the LORD who does not lie or change his mind — not only the light of Israel or yisrael title alone, the Hope of Israel alone, the Holy One of Israel alone, or the strength of my life Psalm 27:1 confession 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 Glory of Israel, Bible verses about the light of Israel, Bible verses about the Hope of Israel, Bible verses about the Holy One of Israel, Bible verses about the strength of my life, Bible verses about the rock of Israel, 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. Strength of Israel here means the KJV title for netsach Yisrael in 1 Samuel 15:29 — distinct from light-of-israel / hope-of-israel / holy-one-of-israel / strength-of-my-life inventories alone. (NIV "Glory of Israel" for the same verse lives on Glory of Israel; this hub owns the Strength-of-Israel search title and related God-gives-strength-to-his-people speech.)

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, נֵצַח netsach (Strong's H5331; Bible Hub H5331) can mean enduring strength / eminence / glory, and יִשְׂרָאֵל yisrael (Strong's H3478; Bible Hub H3478) is Israel. 1 Samuel 15:29 joins them — He who is the Strength (KJV) / Glory (NIV) of Israel does not lie or change his mind. This list tracks that Strength-of-Israel title and related strength God gives his people, not the Light-of-Israel twelve and not Psalm 27:1's strength-of-my-life confession alone.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 1 Samuel 15 presses that the Strength 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). (Glory of Israel tracks the NIV title reading of the same verse; Light of Israel and strength of my life live on those pages; this list centers KJV Strength of Israel / netsach Yisrael and God-strengthens-Israel speech.)
