went

was
distressed

Saul
unto

Draw
thy

through
therewith,

likewise
fell

Saul
died,

took

was
Eleazar

stood

out

said
unto

If

seem
good
unto
you,

if
it
be
of
Jehovah
our
God,
let

send
abroad

unto

unto

all
the

said
that
they
would
do
so;
for

thing
was
right
in
the
eyes
of

David
assembled

together,
from

unto

belonged
to

the
ark
of
God
Jehovah
that
sitteth
{\ADD{

that
is
called
by

they
carried
the
ark
of
God
upon

{\ADD{
and
brought
it}}
out

house

drove

played
before

Uzza
put
forth

to
hold

for
the
oxen
stumbled.

the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against

he
smote
him,
because
he
put
forth
his
hand
to
the
ark;

there
he
died
before

David
was
displeased,
because
Jehovah
had
broken
forth
upon
Uzza:

he
called
that
place
Perez-uzza,

this

David
was
afraid

bring

home
to

David
removed
not
the

unto
him
into

it
aside
into

remained

blessed

it
came

came
to

saying,
\VS{4}Go
and
tell
David
my
servant,
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Thou shalt
not
build
me
a
house
to
dwell
in:

I
have
not
dwelt
in
a
house
since
the

that

brought
up
Israel,
unto
this
day,

have
gone
from
tent
to

from
{\ADD{
one}}
tabernacle
{\ADD{
to
another}}.
\VS{6}In
all
places
wherein
I
have
walked
with
all
Israel,
spake
I
a
word
with
any
of
the
judges
of
Israel,
whom
I
commanded
to
be
shepherd
of
my
people,
saying,
Why
have
ye
not
built
me
a
house
of
cedar?
\VS{7}Now
therefore
thus shalt
thou
say
unto
my
servant
David,
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
I
took
thee
from
the
sheepcote,
from
following
the
sheep,
that
thou shouldest
be
prince
over
my
people
Israel:
\VS{8}and
I
have
been
with
thee
whithersoever
thou
hast
gone,
and
have
cut
off
all
thine
enemies
from

thee;

I
will
make
thee
a
name,
like
unto
the
name
of
the

ones
that
are
in

will
appoint
a

for
my

will
plant
them,
that

may
dwell
in
their
own
place,

be
moved
no
more;
neither
shall
the
children
of
wickedness
waste
them
any
more,
as
at
the
first,

{\ADD{
as}}
from
the
day
that
I
commanded
judges
to
be
over
my
people
Israel;
and
I
will
subdue
all
thine
enemies.
Moreover
I
tell
thee
that
Jehovah
will
build
thee
a
house.
\VS{11}And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
when
thy
days
are
fulfilled
that
thou
must
go
to
be
with
thy
fathers,
that
I
will
set
up
thy
seed
after
thee,
who
shall
be
of
thy
sons;
and
I
will
establish
his
kingdom.
\VS{12}He
shall
build
me
a
house,
and
I
will
establish
his
throne
for
ever.
\VS{13}I
will
be
his
father,
and
he
shall
be
my
son:
and
I
will
not
take
my
lovingkindness
away
from
him,
as
I
took
it
from
him
that
was
before
thee;

settle
him
in

unto

what
is

that
thou
hast
brought
me
thus
far?

hast
spoken

for
a
great
while
to
come,

hast
regarded
me

to
the
estate

can
David
{\ADD{
say}}
yet
more
unto
thee
concerning
the
honor
which
is
done
to
thy

knowest

Jehovah,
for
thy
servant’s
sake,

to
thine
own
heart,
hast
thou
wrought
all
this
greatness,
to
make
known
all
{\ADD{
these}}
great
things.

is
none
like
thee,

is
there
any
God
besides
thee,

that

have
heard
with

one
nation
in

earth
is
like

went
to
redeem
unto
himself
for
a
people,
to
make
thee
a
name
by
great
and
terrible
things,
in
driving
out
nations
from

thy
people,
whom
thou
redeemedst
out
of

\VS{22}For
thy
people
Israel
didst
thou
make
thine
own
people
for
ever;
and
thou,

their
God.
\VS{23}And
now,
O
Jehovah,
let
the
word
that
thou
hast
spoken
concerning
thy
servant,
and
concerning
his
house,
be
established
for
ever,
and
do
as
thou
hast
spoken.

let
thy

be
established

magnified
for

is
the

of

even
a
God
to

and
the

is

\VS{25}For
thou,
O

hast
revealed
to
thy
servant
that
thou
wilt
build
him
a
house:
therefore
hath
thy
servant
found
{\ADD{
in

to
pray
before
thee.

thing
unto

spy
out
the
land?
\VS{4}So
Hanun
took
David’s
servants,
and
shaved
them,
and
cut
off
their
garments
in
the
middle,
even
to
their
buttocks,
and
sent
them
away.
\VS{5}Then
there
went
certain
persons,
and
told
David
how
the
men
were
served.
And
he
sent
to
meet
them;
for
the
men
were
greatly
ashamed.
And
the
king
said,
Tarry
at
Jericho
until
your
beards
be
grown,
and
then
return.
\par }{\PP \VS{6}And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
they
had
made
themselves
odious
to
David,
Hanun
and
the
children
of
Ammon
sent
a
thousand
talents
of
silver
to
hire
them
chariots
and
horsemen
out
of
Mesopotamia,
and
out
of
Aram-maacah,
and
out
of
Zobah.
\VS{7}So
they
hired
them
thirty
and
two
thousand
chariots,
and
the
king
of
Maacah
and
his
people,
who
came
and
encamped
before
Medeba.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
gathered
themselves
together
from
their
cities,
and
came
to
battle.
\VS{8}And
when
David
heard
of
it,
he
sent
Joab,
and
all
the
host
of
the
mighty
men.
\VS{9}And
the
children
of
Ammon
came
out,
and
put
the
battle
in
array
at
the
gate
of
the
city:
and
the
kings
that
were
come
were
by
themselves
in
the
field.
\par }{\PP \VS{10}Now
when
Joab
saw
that
the
battle
was
set
against
him
before
and
behind,
he
chose
of
all
the
choice
men
of
Israel,
and
put
them
in
array
against
the
Syrians.
\VS{11}And
the
rest
of
the
people
he
committed
into
the
hand
of
Abishai
his
brother;
and
they
put
themselves
in
array
against
the
children
of
Ammon.
\VS{12}And
he
said,
If
the
Syrians
be
too
strong
for
me,
then
thou shalt
help
me;
but
if
the
children
of
Ammon
be
too
strong
for
thee,
then
I
will
help
thee.
\VS{13}Be
of
good
courage,
and
let
us
play
the
man
for
our
people,
and
for
the
cities
of
our
God:
and
Jehovah
do
that
which
seemeth
him
good.
\VS{14}So
Joab
and
the
people
that
were
with
him
drew
nigh
before
the
Syrians
unto
the
battle;
and
they
fled
before
him.
\VS{15}And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
the
Syrians
were
fled,
they
likewise
fled
before
Abishai
his
brother,
and
entered
into
the
city.
Then
Joab
came
to
Jerusalem.
\par }{\PP \VS{16}And
when
the
Syrians
saw
that
they
were
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel,
they
sent
messengers,
and
drew
forth
the
Syrians
that
were
beyond
the
River,
with
Shophach
the
captain
of
the
host
of
Hadarezer
at
their
head.
\VS{17}And
it
was
told
David;
and
he
gathered
all
Israel
together,
and
passed
over
the
Jordan,
and
came
upon
them,
and
set
the
battle
in
array
against
them.
So
when
David
had
put
the
battle
in
array
against
the
Syrians,
they
fought
with
him.
\VS{18}And
the
Syrians
fled
before
Israel;
and
David
slew
of
the
Syrians
{\ADD{
the
men
of}}
seven
thousand
chariots,
and
forty
thousand
footmen,
and
killed
Shophach
the
captain
of
the
host.
\VS{19}And
when
the
servants
of
Hadarezer
saw
that
they
were
put
to
the
worse
before
Israel,
they
made
peace
with
David,
and
served
him:
neither
would
the
Syrians
help
the
children
of
Ammon
any
more.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And

came

go
out
{\ADD{

led
forth

wasted
the

came
and
besieged
Rabbah.
But
David
tarried
at
Jerusalem.
And
Joab
smote
Rabbah,
and
overthrew
it.
\VS{2}And
David
took
the
crown
of

king
from
off
his

found
it
to
weigh
a
talent
of
gold,

there
were

it
was
set
upon
David’s

he
brought
forth

exceeding
much.

he
brought
forth
the
people
that
were
therein,

cut
{\ADD{
them}}
with

with

with

thus
did
David
unto
all

And
David
and

people
returned
to
Jerusalem.
\par }{\PP \VS{4}And
it
came
to

after

Sibbecai
the
Hushathite
slew
Sippai,
of

they
were
subdued.

there

war
with

Jair
slew
Lahmi

were
four

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Satan
stood
up
against
Israel,
and
moved
David
to
number
Israel.
\VS{2}And
David
said
to
Joab
and
to
the
princes
of
the
people,
Go,
number
Israel
from
Beer-sheba
even
to
Dan;
and
bring
me
word,
that
I
may
know
the
sum
of
them.
\VS{3}And
Joab
said,
Jehovah
make
his
people
a
hundred
times
as
many
as
they
are:
but,
my
lord
the
king,
are
they
not
all
my
lord’s
servants?
why
doth
my
lord
require
this
thing?
why
will
he
be
a
cause
of
guilt
unto
Israel?
\VS{4}Nevertheless
the
king’s
word
prevailed
against
Joab.
Wherefore
Joab
departed,
and
went
throughout
all
Israel,
and
came
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{5}And
Joab
gave
up
the
sum
of
the
numbering
of
the
people
unto
David.
And
all
they
of
Israel
were
a
thousand
thousand
and
a
hundred
thousand
men
that
drew
sword:

Judah
was
four
hundred
threescore
and
ten
thousand
men
that
drew
sword.
\VS{6}But
Levi
and
Benjamin
counted
he
not
among
them;
for
the
king’s
word
was
abominable
to
Joab.
\VS{7}And
God
was
displeased
with
this
thing;
therefore
he
smote
Israel.
\VS{8}And
David
said
unto
God,
I
have
sinned
greatly,
in
that
I
have
done
this
thing:
but
now,
put
away,
I
beseech
thee,
the
iniquity
of
thy
servant;
for
I
have
done
very
foolishly.
\par }{\PP \VS{9}And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Gad,
David’s
seer,
saying,
\VS{10}Go
and
speak
unto
David,
saying,
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
I
offer
thee
three
things:
choose
thee
one
of
them,
that
I
may
do
it
unto
thee.
\VS{11}So
Gad
came
to
David,
and
said
unto
him,
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Take
which
thou
wilt:
\VS{12}either
three
years
of
famine;
or
three
months
to
be
consumed
before
thy
foes,
while
the
sword
of
thine
enemies
overtaketh
thee;
or
else
three
days
the
sword
of
Jehovah,
even
pestilence
in
the
land,
and
the
angel
of
Jehovah
destroying
throughout
all
the
borders
of
Israel.
Now
therefore
consider
what
answer
I
shall
return
to
him
that
sent
me.
\VS{13}And
David
said
unto
Gad,
I
am
in
a
great
strait:
let
me
fall,
I
pray,
into
the
hand
of
Jehovah;
for
very
great
are
his
mercies:
and
let
me
not
fall
into
the
hand
of
man.
\VS{14}So
Jehovah
sent
a
pestilence
upon
Israel;
and
there
fell
of
Israel
seventy
thousand
men.
\VS{15}And
God
sent
an
angel
unto
Jerusalem
to
destroy
it:
and
as
he
was
about
to
destroy,
Jehovah
beheld,
and
he
repented
him
of
the
evil,
and
said
to
the
destroying
angel,
It
is
enough;
now
stay
thy
hand.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
was
standing
by
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
\VS{16}And
David
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and
saw
the
angel
of
Jehovah
standing
between
earth
and
heaven,
having
a
drawn
sword
in
his
hand
stretched
out
over
Jerusalem.
Then
David
and
the
elders,
clothed
in
sackcloth,
fell
upon
their
faces.
\VS{17}And
David
said
unto
God,
Is
it
not
I
that
commanded
the
people
to
be
numbered?
even
I
it
is
that
have
sinned
and
done
very
wickedly;
but
these
sheep,
what
have
they
done?
let
thy
hand,
I
pray
thee,
O
Jehovah
my
God,
be
against
me,
and
against
my
father’s
house;
but
not
against
thy
people,
that
they
should
be
plagued.
\par }{\PP \VS{18}Then
the
angel
of
Jehovah
commanded
Gad
to
say
to
David,
that
David
should
go
up,
and
rear
an
altar
unto
Jehovah
in
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
\VS{19}And
David
went
up
at
the
saying
of
Gad,
which
he
spake
in
the
name
of
Jehovah.
\VS{20}And
Ornan
turned
back,
and
saw
the
angel;
and
his
four
sons
that
were
with
him
hid
themselves.
Now
Ornan
was
threshing
wheat.
\VS{21}And
as
David
came
to
Ornan,
Ornan
looked
and
saw
David,
and
went
out
of
the threshing-floor,
and
bowed
himself
to
David
with
his
face
to
the
ground.
\VS{22}Then
David
said
to
Ornan,
Give
me
the
place
of
this threshing-floor,
that
I
may
build
thereon
an
altar
unto
Jehovah:
for
the
full
price shalt
thou
give
it
me,
that
the
plague
may
be
stayed
from
the
people.
\VS{23}And
Ornan
said
unto
David,
Take
it
to
thee,
and
let
my
lord
the
king
do
that
which
is
good
in
his
eyes:
lo,
I
give
{\ADD{
thee}}
the
oxen
for burnt-offerings,
and
the
threshing
instruments
for
wood,
and
the
wheat
for
the meal-offering;
I
give
it
all.
\VS{24}And
king
David
said
to
Ornan,
Nay;
but
I
will
verily
buy
it
for
the
full
price:
for
I
will
not
take
that
which
is
thine
for
Jehovah,
nor
offer
a burnt-offering
without
cost.
\VS{25}So
David
gave
to
Ornan
for
the
place
six
hundred
shekels
of
gold
by
weight.
\VS{26}And
David
built
there
an
altar
unto
Jehovah,
and
offered burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings,
and
called
upon
Jehovah;
and
he
answered
him
from
heaven
by
fire
upon
the
altar
of burnt-offering.
\VS{27}And
Jehovah
commanded
the
angel;
and
he
put
up
his
sword
again
into
the
sheath
thereof.
\par }{\PP \VS{28}At
that
time,
when
David
saw
that
Jehovah
had
answered
him
in
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite,
then
he
sacrificed
there.
\VS{29}For
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah,
which
Moses
made
in
the
wilderness,
and
the
altar
of burnt-offering,
were
at
that
time
in
the
high
place
at
Gibeon.
\VS{30}But
David
could
not
go
before
it
to
inquire
of
God;
for
he
was
afraid
because
of
the
sword
of
the
angel
of
Jehovah.

\Chap{22}\VerseOne{1}Then
David
said,
This
is
the
house
of
Jehovah
God,
and
this
is
the
altar
of burnt-offering
for
Israel.
\par }{\PP \VS{2}And
David
commanded
to
gather
together

sojourners
that
were
in
the
land
of
Israel;
and
he
set
masons
to
hew
wrought
stones
to
build
the
house
of
God.
\VS{3}And
David
prepared
iron
in
abundance
for
the
nails
for
the
doors
of
the
gates,
and
for
the
couplings;
and
brass
in
abundance
without
weight;
\VS{4}and cedar-trees
without
number:
for
the
Sidonians
and
they
of
Tyre
brought cedar-trees
in
abundance
to
David.
\VS{5}And
David
said,
Solomon
my
son
is
young
and
tender,
and
the
house
that
is
to
be
builded
for
Jehovah
must
be
exceeding
magnificent,
of
fame
and
of
glory
throughout
all
countries:
I
will
therefore
make
preparation
for
it.

David
prepared
abundantly
before
his
death.

he
called
for
Solomon
his
son,

charged
him
to
build
a
house
for

of
Israel.
\VS{7}And
David
said
to
Solomon
his
son,
As
for
me,
it
was
in
my
heart
to
build
a
house
unto
the
name
of
Jehovah
my
God.
\VS{8}But
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
to
me,
saying,
Thou
hast
shed
blood
abundantly,
and
hast
made
great
wars:
thou shalt
not
build
a
house
unto
my
name,
because
thou
hast
shed
much
blood
upon
the
earth
in
my
sight.
\VS{9}Behold,
a
son
shall
be
born
to
thee,
who
shall
be
a
man
of
rest;
and
I
will
give
him
rest
from
all
his
enemies
round
about;
for
his
name
shall
be
Solomon,
and
I
will
give
peace
and
quietness
unto
Israel
in
his
days.
\VS{10}He
shall
build
a
house
for
my
name;
and
he
shall
be
my
son,
and
I
will
be
his
father;
and
I
will
establish
the
throne
of
his
kingdom
over
Israel
for
ever.
\VS{11}Now,
my
son,
Jehovah
be
with
thee;
and
prosper
thou,
and
build
the
house
of
Jehovah
thy
God,
as
he
hath
spoken
concerning
thee.
\VS{12}Only
Jehovah
give
thee
discretion
and
understanding,
and
give
thee
charge
concerning
Israel;
that
so
thou
mayest
keep
the
law
of
Jehovah
thy
God.
\VS{13}Then shalt
thou
prosper,
if
thou
observe
to
do
the
statutes
and
the
ordinances
which
Jehovah
charged
Moses
with
concerning
Israel:
be
strong,
and
of
good
courage;
fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed.
\VS{14}Now,
behold,
in
my
affliction
I
have
prepared
for
the
house
of
Jehovah
a
hundred
thousand
talents
of
gold,
and
a
thousand
thousand
talents
of
silver,
and
of
brass
and
iron
without
weight;
for
it
is
in
abundance:
timber
also
and

have
I
prepared;

mayest
add thereto.

there
are

in

thou
art
a

hast
shed

chose
me
out

sojourners,
as
all
our
fathers
were:
our
days
on
the
earth
are
as
a
shadow,
and
there
is
no
abiding.
\VS{16}O
Jehovah
our
God,
all
this
store
that
we
have
prepared
to
build
thee
a
house
for
thy
holy
name
cometh
of
thy
hand,
and
is
all
thine
own.
\VS{17}I
know
also,
my
God,
that
thou
triest
the
heart,
and
hast
pleasure
in
uprightness.
As
for
me,
in
the
uprightness
of
my
heart
I
have
willingly
offered
all
these
things:
and
now
have
I
seen
with
joy
thy
people,
that
are
present
here,
offer
willingly
unto
thee.
\VS{18}O
Jehovah,
the
God
of
Abraham,
of
Isaac,
and
of
Israel,
our
fathers,
keep
this
for
ever
in
the
imagination
of
the
thoughts
of
the
heart
of
thy
people,
and
prepare
their
heart
unto
thee;
\VS{19}and
give
unto
Solomon
my
son
a
perfect
heart,
to
keep
thy
commandments,
thy
testimonies,
and
thy
statutes,
and
to
do
all
these
things,
and
to
build
the
palace,
for
which
I
have
made
provision.
\par }{\PP \VS{20}And
David
said
to
all
the
assembly,
Now
bless
Jehovah
your
God.
And
all
the
assembly
blessed
Jehovah,
the
God
of
their
fathers,
and
bowed
down
their
heads,
and
worshipped
Jehovah,
and
the
king.
\VS{21}And
they
sacrificed
sacrifices
unto
Jehovah,
and
offered burnt-offerings
unto
Jehovah,
on
the
morrow
after
that
day,
even
a
thousand
bullocks,
a
thousand
rams,
and
a
thousand
lambs,
with
their drink-offerings,
and
sacrifices
in
abundance
for
all
Israel,
\VS{22}and
did
eat
and
drink
before
Jehovah
on
that
day
with
great
gladness.
\par }{\PP And
they
made
Solomon
the
son
of
David
king
the
second
time,
and
anointed
him
unto
Jehovah
to
be
prince,
and
Zadok
to
be
priest.
\VS{23}Then
Solomon
sat
on
the
throne
of
Jehovah
as
king
instead
of
David
his
father,
and
prospered;
and
all
Israel
obeyed
him.
\VS{24}And
all
the
princes,
and
the
mighty
men,
and
all
the
sons
likewise
of
king
David,
submitted
themselves
unto
Solomon
the
king.
\VS{25}And
Jehovah
magnified
Solomon
exceedingly
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
and
bestowed
upon
him
such
royal
majesty
as
had
not
been
on
any
king
before
him
in
Israel.
\par }{\PP \VS{26}Now
David
the
son
of
Jesse
reigned
over
all
Israel.
\VS{27}And
the
time
that
he
reigned
over
Israel
was
forty
years;
seven
years
reigned
he
in
Hebron,
and
thirty
and
three
{\ADD{
years}}
reigned
he
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{28}And
he
died
in
a
good
old
age,
full
of
days,
riches,
and
honor:
and
Solomon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
\VS{29}Now
the
acts
of
David
the
king,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the
history
of
Samuel
the
seer,
and
in
the
history
of
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
in
the
history
of
Gad
the
seer,
\VS{30}with
all
his
reign
and
his
might,
and
the
times
that
went
over
him,
and
over
Israel,
and
over
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
countries.
