Bible Verses About Strong Tower: 12

"The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."

— Proverbs 18:10 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about strong tower want Scripture on Proverbs 18:10 — the Lord's name as a fortified tower — and matching refuge/tower/stronghold lines — not only the Rock title list or Rock of Ages survey 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 Rock, Bible verses about Rock of Ages, Bible verses about God's presence, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about praise, Bible verses about the armor of God, and Bible verse of the day. Strong tower here means Prov 18:10 and matching tower/fortified-refuge lines — distinct from a general rock survey alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, "tower" in Proverbs 18:10 is מִגְדָּל migdal (Strong's H4026; Bible Hub H4026) — tower, elevated structure. "Strong / fortified" is עֹז oz (Strong's H5797; Bible Hub H5797) — strength, fortification. The righteous run into the name of the Lord and are set on high / safe. This list tracks that strong-tower refuge, not the whole rock inventory.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Proverbs 18 presses that the name of the Lord is a strong tower for the righteous who run into it (Bible Hub MHC Proverbs 18; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Proverbs 18). (Rock and Rock-of-Ages lists live on those pages; this list centers strong tower.)
