'Kingdom' in the Bible

And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, 'Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house doth fall;

and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons.

He said therefore, 'A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,

'And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.

Then said he to them, 'Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,

and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'
