saying,
Oh

bless
me,

and
that thy

might
be
with
me,

that thou wouldest
keep
me
from
evil,
that
it

not
grieve
me!
And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
brought
about
what
he
had
requested.
\VS{11}And
Chelub
the
brother
of Shuah
begot
Mehir,
who
was
the
father
of
Eshton.
\VS{12}And
Eshton
begot Bethrapha,

And

\VS{23}These
were
the

those
that
abode
among plantations

\VS{27}and
Shimei

And
his

had
not

neither

all

in

\VS{39}And
they went
to
the

of
Gedor,
as
far
as
the
east

of
the

to
seek
pasture
for
their

\VS{40}And
they
found fat

good

and
a
land widely extended
and
quiet
and
fertile,
for

who
had
dwelt
there
formerly
were

\VS{41}And
these
written
by

came
in
the
days
of
Hezekiah
king
of
Judah,

smote
their

and
the habitations
that
were
found
there,
and
destroyed
them utterly unto
this
day,
and
dwelt
in
their
stead;
for
there
was
pasture
there
for
their
flocks.
\VS{42}And
five
hundred

of
them,
of

of
Simeon,
went
to

at
their

eastward
he

of
the
sons
of
the
priests
who compounded
the ointment
of
the
spices.
\VS{31}And
Mattithiah
of
the
Levites,
who
was
the
firstborn
of
Shallum
the
Korahite,
was
in
trust
over
the
things
that
were
made
in
the
pans.
\VS{32}And [some]
of
the
sons
of
the
Kohathites,
their
brethren,
were
over
the
loaves
to
be
set
in
rows,
to
prepare
them
every
sabbath.
\VS{33}And
these
were
the
singers,
chief
fathers
of
the
Levites, [who
were]
in
the
chambers free
from
service;
for
they
were employed
day
and
night.
\VS{34}These
are
the
chief
fathers
of
the
Levites,
heads according
to
their
families;
these
dwelt
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{35}And
at
Gibeon
dwelt
the
father
of
Gibeon,
Jeiel,
and
his wife's
name
was Maachah.
\VS{36}And
his
son,
the
firstborn,
was
Abdon,
and
Zur,
and
Kish,
and
Baal,
and
Ner,
and
Nadab,
\VS{37}and
Gedor,
and
Ahio,
and
Zechariah,
and
Mikloth;
\VS{38}and
Mikloth
begot
Shimeam.
And
they
also
dwelt
beside
their
brethren
in
Jerusalem,
with
their
brethren.
\VS{39}And
Ner
begot
Kish;
and
Kish
begot
Saul;
and
Saul
begot
Jonathan,
and Malchishua,
and
Abinadab,
and Esh-baal.
\VS{40}And
the
son
of
Jonathan
was
Merib-Baal;
and
Merib-Baal
begot
Micah.
\VS{41}And
the
sons
of
Micah:
Pithon,
and
Melech,
and
Tahrea.
\VS{42}And
Ahaz
begot
Jarah:
and
Jarah
begot
Alemeth,
and
Azmaveth,
and
Zimri;
and
Zimri
begot
Moza;
\VS{43}and
Moza
begot
Binea;
and
Rephaiah
his
son,
Eleasah
his
son,
Azel
his
son.
\VS{44}And
Azel
had
six
sons,
and
these
are their
names:
Azrikam, Bochru,
and
Ishmael,
and
Sheariah,
and
Obadiah,
and
Hanan;
these
were
the
sons
of
Azel.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Philistines
fought
against
Israel;
and
the
men
of
Israel
fled
from
before
the
Philistines,
and
fell
down
slain
on
mount
Gilboa.
\VS{2}And
the
Philistines
followed hard
after
Saul
and
after
his
sons;
and
the
Philistines
smote
Jonathan,
and
Abinadab,
and
Malchi-shua, Saul's
sons.
\VS{3}And
the
battle
went sore
against
Saul,
and
the
archers
came
up
with
him,
and
he
was terrified
by
the
archers.
\VS{4}Then
said
Saul
to
his armour-bearer,
Draw thy
sword,
and
thrust
me
through
with
it;
lest
these
uncircumcised
come
and abuse
me.
But
his armour-bearer
would
not;
for
he
was
much
afraid.
So
Saul
took
the
sword
and
fell
on
it.
\VS{5}And
when
his armour-bearer
saw
that
Saul
was
dead,
he
fell
likewise
on
the
sword,
and
died.
\VS{6}So
Saul
died,
and
his
three
sons,
and
all
his
house
died
together.
\VS{7}And
when
all
the
men
of
Israel
that
were
in
the
valley
saw
that
they
fled,
and
that
Saul
and
his
sons
were
dead,
they forsook
their
cities
and
fled;
and
the
Philistines
came
and
dwelt
in
them.
\VS{8}And
it
came
to
pass
the
next
day,
that
the
Philistines
came
to
strip
the
slain,
and
they
found
Saul
and
his
sons
fallen
on
mount
Gilboa.
\VS{9}And
they
stripped
him,
and
took
his
head,
and
his armour,
and
sent [them]
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines
round
about,
to
announce
the
glad
tidings
to
their
idols,
and
to
the
people.
\VS{10}And
they
put
his armour
in
the
house
of
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 10:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}god,
and
fastened
his
head
in
the
house
of
Dagon.
\VS{11}And
when
all
they
of Jabesh-Gilead
heard
of
all
that
the
Philistines
had
done
to
Saul,
\VS{12}all
the
valiant
men
arose,
and
took
up
the
body
of
Saul
and
the
bodies
of
his
sons,
and
brought
them
to
Jabesh,
and
buried
their
bones
under
the
terebinth
of
Jabesh,
and
fasted
seven
days.
\VS{13}And
Saul
died
for
his
unfaithfulness
which
he
committed
against
Jehovah,
because
of
the
word
of
Jehovah
which
he
kept
not,
and
also
for
having
inquired
of
the
spirit
of Python,
asking
counsel
of
it;
\VS{14}and
he
asked
not counsel
of
Jehovah;
therefore
he slew
him,
and
transferred
the
kingdom
to
David
the
son
of
Jesse.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
all
Israel
assembled
themselves
to
David
to
Hebron,
saying,
Behold,
we
are thy
bone
and thy
flesh.
\VS{2}Even aforetime,
even
when
Saul
was
king, thou wast
he
that leddest
out
and broughtest
in
Israel;
and
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 11:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said
to thee, Thou shalt
feed
my
people
Israel,
and thou shalt
be
prince
over
my
people
Israel.
\VS{3}And
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
the
king
to
Hebron;
and
David
made
a
covenant
with
them
in
Hebron
before
Jehovah;
and
they
anointed
David
king
over
Israel
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
through
Samuel.
\VS{4}And
David
and
all
Israel went
to
Jerusalem,
which
is
Jebus;
where
the
Jebusites
were,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
\VS{5}And
the
inhabitants
of
Jebus
said
to
David, Thou shalt
not
come
in hither.
But
David
took
the stronghold
of
Zion,
which
is
the
city
of
David.
\VS{6}And
David
said,
Whoever smites
the
Jebusites
first
shall
be
chief
and
captain.
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
went
first
up,
and
was
chief.
\VS{7}And
David
dwelt
in
the
stronghold;
therefore
they
called
it
the
city
of
David.
\VS{8}And
he
built
the
city
round
about,
even
from
the
Millo
round
about;
and
Joab renewed
the
rest
of
the
city.
\VS{9}And
David
became
continually
greater;
and
Jehovah
of
hosts
was
with
him.
\VS{10}And
these
are
the
chief
of
the
mighty
men
whom
David
had,
who shewed
themselves
valiant
with
him
in
his
kingdom,
with
all
Israel,
to
make
him
king,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
concerning
Israel.
\VS{11}And
this
is
the
number
of
the
mighty
men
whom
David
had:
Jashobeam,
the
son
of
Hachmoni,
the
chief
of
the
captains;
he brandished
his
spear
against
three
hundred,
slain [by
him]
at
one
time.
\VS{12}And
after
him,
Eleazar
the
son
of
Dodo,
the
Ahohite;
he
was
one
of
the
three
mighty
men.
\VS{13}He
was
with
David
at Pas-dammim,
where
the
Philistines
were
gathered
together
to
battle;
and
there
was [there]
a
plot
of
ground
full
of
barley;
and
the
people
had
fled
from
before
the
Philistines.
\VS{14}And
they
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
plot
and
delivered
it,
and
smote
the
Philistines;
and
Jehovah wrought
a
great
deliverance.
\VS{15}And
three
of
the
thirty
chiefs
went
down
to
the
rock
to
David,
to
the
cave
of
Adullam,
when
the
army
of
the
Philistines
was
encamped
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
\VS{16}And
David
was
then
in
the stronghold;
and
the Philistines'
garrison
was
then
at
Bethlehem.
\VS{17}And
David
longed,
and
said,
Oh
that
one
would
give
me
to
drink
of
the
water
of
the
well
of
Bethlehem,
which
is
in
the
gate!
\VS{18}And
the
three
broke
through
the
camp
of
the
Philistines,
and
drew
water
out
of
the
well
of
Bethlehem,
which
is
in
the
gate,
and
took
it,
and
brought
it
to
David;
David however
would
not
drink
of
it,
but poured
it
out
to
Jehovah.
\VS{19}And
he
said,
My
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 11:19 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
forbid
it
me,
that
I
should
do
this
thing!
should
I
drink
the
blood
of
these
men [who
went]
at
the risk
of
their
lives?
for
at
the risk
of
their
lives
they
brought
it.
Therefore
he
would
not
drink
it.
These
things
did
the
three
mighty
men.
\VS{20}And
Abishai
the
brother
of
Joab,
he
was
the
chief
of
three;
and
he brandished
his
spear
against
three
hundred
and slew
them;
and
he
had
a
name
among
the
three.
\VS{21}Of
the
three
he
was
more honourable
than
the
two,
and
he
was
their
captain;
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the [first]
three.
\VS{22}Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
the
son
of
a
valiant
man,
great
in
exploits,
of
Kabzeel:
he
it
was
that
smote
two
lions
of
Moab;
and
he
went
down
and
smote
a
lion
in
the
midst
of
a
pit
on
a
snowy
day.
\VS{23}He
also
smote
the
Egyptian,
a
man
of stature,
five
cubits high:
and
in
the Egyptian's
hand
was
a
spear
like
a weaver's
beam;
and
he
went
down
to
him
with
a
staff,
and plucked
the
spear
out
of
the Egyptian's
hand,
and
slew
him
with
his
own
spear.
\VS{24}These
things
did
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada,
and
he
had
a
name
among
the
three
mighty
men.
\VS{25}Behold,
he
was honoured
above
the
thirty,
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the [first]
three.

in

that

still
close

were
among

\VS{2}armed
with
bows, using both

with

of
the Gadites, there separated themselves
to David
in
the stronghold
in
the wilderness mighty
men
of valour,
men fit
for
the service
of war, armed
with shield
and spear;
whose faces
were [like]
the faces
of lions,

who
were swift
as

when

came
of

went
out

them,

shall
be knit unto

there fell some

upon deliberation
sent
him
away, saying,

of
them
men
of
war, keeping rank
in
battle
array, came
with
a perfect heart
to Hebron,
to make David king
over
all
Israel;
and
all
the rest
also
of
Israel
were
of
one heart
to make David king.
\VS{39}And
there
they
were
with
David three days, eating
and drinking;
for
their brethren
had
prepared
for
them;
\VS{40}and
those too
that
were
near
them,
as far
as Issachar
and Zebulun
and Naphtali,
brought
food
on asses,
and
on camels,
and
on mules,
and
on oxen; provisions
of meal, fig-cakes
and raisin-cakes,
and wine
and oil,
and oxen
and sheep, abundantly;
for
there
was joy
in Israel.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
consulted
with
the
captains
of
thousands
and
hundreds,
with
every
prince.
\VS{2}And
David
said
to
all
the
congregation
of
Israel,
If
it seem
good
to
you,
and
it
be
of
Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
let
us
send
abroad
to
our
brethren
everywhere,
that
are
left
in
all
the
lands
of
Israel,
and
with
them
to
the
priests
and
Levites
in
their
cities
and suburbs,
that
they
may
gather
themselves
to
us;
\VS{3}and
let
us
bring again
the
ark
of
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
to
us;
for
we
inquired
not
of
it
in
the
days
of
Saul.
\VS{4}And
all
the
congregation
said
that
they
should
do
so;
for
the
thing
was
right
in
the
eyes
of
all
the
people.
\VS{5}And
David
assembled
all
Israel
from
the
Shihor
of
Egypt unto
the
entrance
of
Hamath,
to
bring
the
ark
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:5 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
from Kirjath-jearim.
\VS{6}And
David
went
up,
and
all
Israel,
to
Baalah,
to Kirjath-jearim,
which
belonged
to
Judah,
to
bring
up
from thence
the
ark
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:6 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
of
Jehovah,
who sitteth between
the
cherubim,
whose
name
is
placed [there].
\VS{7}And
they
carried
the
ark
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
on
a
new
cart
out
of
the
house
of
Abinadab;
and
Uzza
and
Ahio
drove
the
cart.
\VS{8}And
David
and
all
Israel
played
before
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
with
all
their
might,
and
with
singing,
and
with
harps,
and
with lutes,
and
with tambours,
and
with
cymbals,
and
with
trumpets.
\VS{9}And
when
they
came
to
the threshing-floor
of
Chidon,
Uzza
put
forth
his
hand
to
hold
the
ark;
for
the
oxen
had
stumbled.
\VS{10}And
the
anger
of
Jehovah
was
kindled
against
Uzza,
and
he
smote
him,
because
he
had
put
forth
his
hand
to
the
ark;
and
there
he
died
before
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{11}And
David
was indignant;
for
Jehovah
had
made
a
breach
upon
Uzza;
and
he
called
that
place
Perez-Uzza
to
this
day.
\VS{12}And
David
was
afraid
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
that
day,
saying,
How
shall
I
bring
the
ark
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
to
me?
\VS{13}And
David brought
not
the
ark
home unto
himself
into
the
city
of
David,
but
he
carried
it
aside
into
the
house
of
Obed-Edom
the
Gittite.
\VS{14}And
the
ark
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 13:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
remained
with
the
family
of
Obed-Edom
in
his
house
three
months.
And
Jehovah
blessed
the
house
of
Obed-Edom,
and
all
that
he
had.

Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
timber
of
cedars,
with
masons
and
carpenters,
to
build
him
a
house.
\VS{2}And
David
perceived
that
Jehovah
had
established
him
king
over
Israel,
for
his
kingdom
was
highly
exalted,
because
of
his
people
Israel.
\VS{3}And
David
took
more
wives
at
Jerusalem:
and
David
begot
more
sons
and
daughters.
\VS{4}And
these
are
the
names
of
the
children
which
he
had
in
Jerusalem:
Shammua,

Solomon,

\VS{6}and
Nogah,

Elishama,
and
Beeliada,

\VS{8}And
the
Philistines
heard
that
David
was
anointed
king
over
all
Israel,
and
all
the
Philistines
went
up
to
seek
David;
and
David
heard [of
it],
and
went
out
against
them.
\VS{9}And
the
Philistines
came
and spread themselves
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
\VS{10}And
David
inquired
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 14:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
saying,
Shall
I
go
up
against
the
Philistines,
and wilt thou
give
them
into
my
hand?
And
Jehovah
said
to
him,
Go
up;
and
I
will
give
them
into thy
hand.
\VS{11}And
they
came
up
to
Baal-perazim,
and
David
smote
them
there;
and
David
said,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 14:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
broken
in
upon mine
enemies
by
my
hand,
as
the
breaking
forth
of
waters.
Therefore
they
called
the
name
of
that
place
Baal-perazim.
\VS{12}And
they
left
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 14:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}gods
there;
and
David
commanded,
and
they
were
burned
with
fire.
\VS{13}And
the
Philistines
yet
again spread themselves
in
the
valley.
\VS{14}And
David
inquired
again
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 14:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
and
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 14:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said
to
him,
Go
not
up
after
them;
turn
round
them
and
come
upon
them
opposite
the mulberry-trees.
\VS{15}And
it
shall
be,
when thou hearest
the
sound
of marching
in
the
tops

that
then thou shalt
go
out
to

will
have
gone
forth

David
did
as

commanded
him;
and
they
smote
the
army

Philistines
from
Gibeon

the
fame
of
David
went
out

Jehovah
brought
the
fear

him
upon
all
the
nations.

assembled

to

to
bring
up
the

to
its

that

had
prepared
for

for
Uriel,

to

because ye
did [it]
not
at

Jehovah
our

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
made
a breach
upon

for
that
we
sought

not

the

themselves
to

upon

it
came
to

as
David
dwelt
in
his
house,
that
David
said
to
Nathan
the
prophet,
Behold,
I
dwell
in
a
house
of cedars,
and
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
under
curtains.
\VS{2}And
Nathan
said
to
David,
Do
all
that
is
in thy
heart;
for
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
is
with thee.
\VS{3}And
it
came
to
pass
that
night
that
the
word
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
came
to
Nathan
saying,
\VS{4}Go
and
say
to
David
my
servant,
Thus saith
Jehovah: Thou shalt
not
build
me
a
house
to
dwell
in;
\VS{5}for
I
have
not
dwelt
in
a
house
since
the
day
that
I
brought
up
Israel
to
this
day;
but
I
have
been
from
tent
to
tent,
and
from [one]
tabernacle [to
another].
\VS{6}In
all
my
going
about
with
all
Israel,
did
I
speak
a
word
to
any
of
the
judges
of
Israel,
whom
I
commanded
to
feed
my
people,
saying,
Why
build ye
me
not
a
house
of cedars?
\VS{7}And
now,
thus shalt thou
say unto
my
servant
David,
Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
I
took thee
from
the pasture-grounds,
from
following
the
sheep,
to
be
prince
over
my
people
Israel;
\VS{8}and
I
have
been
with thee whithersoever thou wentest,
and
have
cut
off
all thine
enemies
from
before thee,
and
have
made thee
a
name,
like unto
the
name
of
the
great
men
that
are
on
the
earth.
\VS{9}And
I
will
appoint
a
place
for
my
people
Israel,
and
will
plant
them,
that
they
may
dwell
in
a
place
of
their own,
and
be
disturbed
no
more;
neither
shall
the
sons
of
wickedness
waste
them
any
more,
as
formerly,
\VS{10}and
since
the
days
that
I
commanded
judges
to
be
over
my
people
Israel.
And
I
will
subdue
all thine
enemies;
and
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,
which
shall
be
of thy
sons;
and
I
will
establish
his
kingdom.
\VS{12}It
is
he
who
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
away
my mercy
from
him,
as
I
took
it
from
him
that
was
before thee;
\VS{14}and
I
will settle
him
in
my
house
and
in
my
kingdom
for
ever;
and
his
throne
shall
be
established
for
ever.
\VS{15}According
to
all
these
words,
and
according
to
all
this
vision,
so
did
Nathan
speak
to
David.
\VS{16}And
king
David
went
in
and
sat
before
Jehovah,
and
said,
Who
am
I,
Jehovah
Elohim,
and
what
is
my
house,
that thou hast
brought
me hitherto?
\VS{17}And
this hath
been
a
small
thing
in thy
sight,
O
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
and thou hast
spoken
of thy servant's
house
for
a
great
while
to
come,
and hast
regarded
me
according
to
the rank
of
a
man
of high degree,
Jehovah
Elohim.
\VS{18}What
can
David [say]
more
to thee
for
the
glory
of thy
servant? thou
indeed knowest thy
servant.
\VS{19}Jehovah,
for thy servant's
sake,
and according
to thine own
heart, hast thou
done
all
this
greatness,
to
make
known
all
these
great
things.
\VS{20}Jehovah,
there
is
none
like thee,
neither
is
there
any
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God beside thee, according
to
all
that
we
have
heard
with
our
ears.
\VS{21}And
who
is
like thy
people
Israel,
the
one
nation
in
the
earth
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
went
to
redeem
to
be
a
people
to
himself,
to
make thee
a
name
of
greatness
and terribleness,
by
driving
out
nations
from
before thy
people,
which thou hast
redeemed
out
of
Egypt?
\VS{22}And thy
people
Israel hast thou
made thine
own
people
for
ever;
and thou,
Jehovah, art
become
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:22 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{23}And
now,
Jehovah,
let
the
word
that thou hast
spoken
concerning thy
servant
and
concerning
his
house
be
established
for
ever,
and
do
as thou hast
said.
\VS{24}Let
it
even
be
established,
and let thy
name
be
magnified
for
ever,
saying,
Jehovah
of
hosts,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:24 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel,
is
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:24 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
to
Israel;
and let
the
house
of
David thy
servant
be
established
before thee.
\VS{25}For thou,
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:25 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God, hast
revealed
to thy
servant
that thou wilt
build
him
a
house;
therefore hath thy
servant
found [in
his heart]
to
pray
before thee.
\VS{26}And
now,
Jehovah, thou art
that
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 17:26 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and hast
promised
this goodness unto thy
servant;
\VS{27}and
now,
let
it
please thee
to
bless
the
house
of thy
servant,
that
it
may
be
before thee
for
ever;

blessed [it],

it
shall
be
blessed
for
ever.

its

out
of

of
the
Philistines.
\VS{2}And
he
smote
the
Moabites;
and
the
Moabites
became David's
servants, [and]
brought
gifts.
\VS{3}And
David
smote Hadarezer
king
of
Zobah,
at
Hamath,
as
he went
to
establish
his dominion
by
the
river
Euphrates.
\VS{4}And
David
took
from

and
David houghed
all
the

Damascus
came
to
help Hadarezer

David
smote

twenty-two

David
took
the
shields
of
gold
that
were

brought
them
to
Jerusalem.

from
Tibhath,

David
took
very
much
brass,

Solomon
made

heard
that

sent
Hadoram

David
to
inquire
of
his
welfare,

to congratulate
him,
because
he
had
fought
against Hadarezer

smitten
him;

Tou; [he
sent]
also
all manner
of
vessels

gold

silver

to honour thy

told

concerning

were
greatly
ashamed.

said,
Abide
at

until

grown,

then
return.

Ammon
saw
that
they
had
made
themselves
odious
to
David;

Hanun
and
the
children

Ammon
sent
a
thousand
talents
of
silver
to
hire
them
chariots
and
horsemen
out
of
Mesopotamia,

from
the Syrians
of
Maacah,
and
from

they
hired thirty-two
thousand
chariots,

the
king

and
his

they
came
and
encamped
before
Medeba.
And
the

Ammon
gathered
together
from

came
to
battle.

David
heard [of

he
sent
Joab,

the

came
out,

\VS{4}But
the king's
word
prevailed
against
Joab;
and
Joab
departed,
and
went
through
all
Israel,
and
came [again]
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{5}And
Joab
gave
the sum
of
the
number
of
the
people
to
David.
And
all
they
of
Israel
were eleven
hundred
thousand
men
that
drew
sword;
and
of
Judah,
four
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
men
that
drew
sword.
\VS{6}But
Levi
and
Benjamin
he
did
not count
among
them;
for
the king's
word
was
abominable
to
Joab.
\VS{7}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 21:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
was
displeased
on
account
of
this
thing,
and
he
smote
Israel.
\VS{8}And
David
said
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 21:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
I
have
sinned
greatly,
in
that
I
have
done
this
thing;
and
now,
I
beseech thee, put
away
the
iniquity
of thy
servant;
for
I
have
done
very
foolishly.
\VS{9}And
Jehovah
spoke
to
Gad, David's
seer,
saying,
\VS{10}Go
and
speak
to
David
saying,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
I
offer thee
three [things];
choose
one
of
them,
that
I
may
do
it unto thee.
\VS{11}And
Gad
came
to
David,
and
said
to
him,
Thus saith
Jehovah:
\VS{12}Choose thee,
either
three
years
of
famine,
or
three
months
to
be
destroyed
before thine adversaries
while
that
the
sword
of thine
enemies overtaketh thee,
or
three
days
the
sword
of
Jehovah
and
the
pestilence
in
the
land,
and
the
angel
of
Jehovah
destroying
through
all
the
borders
of
Israel.
And
now
consider
what
word
I
shall
bring
again
to
him
that
sent
me.
\VS{13}And
David
said
to
Gad,
I
am
in
a
great strait:
let
me
fall,
I
pray thee,
into
the
hand
of
Jehovah,
for
his
mercies
are
very
great;
but
let
me
not
fall
into
the
hand
of
man.
\VS{14}And
Jehovah
sent
a
pestilence
upon
Israel;
and
there
fell
of
Israel
seventy
thousand
men.
\VS{15}And
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 21:15 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
sent
an
angel
to
Jerusalem
to
destroy
it;
and
as
he
was
destroying,
Jehovah beheld,
and
he
repented
him
of
the
evil,
and
said
to
the
angel
that
destroyed,
It
is
enough; withdraw
now thine
hand.
And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
stood
by
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
\VS{16}And
David
lifted
up
his
eyes,
and
saw
the
angel
of
Jehovah
stand
between
the
earth
and
the
heavens,
and
his
sword
drawn
in
his
hand,
stretched
out
over
Jerusalem.
And
David
and
the
elders,
clothed
in
sackcloth,
fell
on
their
faces.
\VS{17}And
David
said
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 21:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
Is
it
not
I
that
commanded
the
people
to
be
numbered?
It
is
I
that
have
sinned
and
done
evil;
but
these
sheep,
what
have
they
done?
Let thy
hand,
I
pray thee,
Jehovah
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 21:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
be
on
me
and
on
my father's
house;
but
not
on thy
people,
that
they
should
be smitten.
\VS{18}And
the
angel
of
Jehovah
commanded
Gad
to
say
to
David,
that
David
should
go
up
and rear
an
altar
to
Jehovah
in
the threshing-floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
\VS{19}And
David
went
up
at
the
saying
of
Gad,
which
he
had
spoken
in
the
name
of
Jehovah.
\VS{20}And
Ornan
turned
back
and
saw
the
angel;
and
his
four
sons
with
him
hid
themselves. Now
Ornan
was
threshing
wheat.
\VS{21}And
David
came
to
Ornan,
and
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}And
David
said
to
Ornan,
Grant
me
the
place
of
the threshing-floor,
that
I
may
build
an
altar
in
it
to
Jehovah:
grant
it
to
me
for
the
full
money,
that
the
plague
may
be
stayed
from
the
people.
\VS{23}And
Ornan
said
to
David,
Take
it
to thee,
and
let
my
lord
the
king
do
that
which
is
good
in
his
sight:
see,
I
give
the
oxen
for
the burnt-offering,
and
the threshing-sledges
for
wood,
and
the
wheat
for
the oblation;
I
give
it
all.
\VS{24}And
king
David
said
to
Ornan,
No;
but
I
will
in
any
case
buy [them]
for
the
full
money;
for
I
will
not
take
that
which
is thine
for
Jehovah,
to
offer
up
a burnt-offering
without
cost.
\VS{25}And
David
gave
to
Ornan
for
the
place
in
shekels
of
gold
the
weight
of
six
hundred [shekels].
\VS{26}And
David
built
there
an
altar
to
Jehovah,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
and peace-offerings,
and
called
upon
Jehovah;
and
he
answered
him
from
the
heavens
by
fire
upon
the
altar
of burnt-offering.
\VS{27}And
Jehovah
spoke
to
the
angel;
and
he
put
up
his
sword
again
into
its
sheath.
\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}And
the
tabernacle
of
Jehovah,
which
Moses
had
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
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 21:30 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
for
he
was afraid
because
of
the
sword
of
the
angel
of
Jehovah.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
said,
This
is
the
house
of
Jehovah
Elohim,
and
this
is
the
altar
of burnt-offering
for
Israel.
\VS{2}And
David
commanded
to collect
the
strangers
that
were
in
the
land
of
Israel;
and
he
set
masons
to
hew wrought
stones
to
build
the
house
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 22:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{3}And
David
prepared
iron
in
abundance
for
the
nails
for
the
doors
of
the
gates,
and
for
the joists,
and
brass
in
abundance
without

\VS{4}and cedar-trees
innumerable;
for
the Zidonians
and
they
of
Tyre
brought cedar-wood
in
abundance
to
David.
\VS{5}For
David
said,
Solomon
my
son
is
young
and
tender,
and
the
house
that
is
to
be
built
for
Jehovah
must
be exceeding
great
in
fame
and
in
beauty
in
all
lands:
I
will
therefore
make
preparation
for
it.
And
David
prepared
abundantly
before
his
death.
\VS{6}And
he
called
for
Solomon
his
son,
and
charged
him
to
build
a
house
for
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 22:6 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel.
\VS{7}And
David
said
to
Solomon,
As
for
me,
my
son,
I
was minded
to
build
a
house unto
the
name
of
Jehovah
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 22:7 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}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,
for 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
in
his
days
I
will
give
peace
and quietness unto
Israel.
\VS{10}He
shall
build
a
house unto
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,
that thou mayest
prosper,
and
build
the
house
of
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 22:11 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
as
he
has
said
of thee.

give thee
wisdom

place thee
over
Israel,
and
to
keep
the
law
of
Jehovah thy
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 22:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
\VS{13}Then shalt thou
prosper,
if thou takest
heed
to
perform
the
statutes
and
ordinances
which
Jehovah
commanded
Moses
for
Israel:
be
strong
and
courageous;
fear
not,
neither
be
dismayed.
\VS{14}And
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;
and
timber
and
stone
have
I
prepared;
and thou shalt
add
to
it.
\VS{15}And
there
are
workmen
with thee
in
abundance,
hewers
and
workers
of
stone

all manner
of skilful

for
every kind
of
work.
\VS{16}Of
the

there
is
no

David
commanded
all

to
help

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
with
you?

rest

is
subdued

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
was
old
and
full
of
days;
and
he made
Solomon
his
son
king
over
Israel.
\VS{2}And
he
gathered
together
all
the
princes
of
Israel,
with
the
priests
and
the
Levites.
\VS{3}And
the
Levites
were
numbered
from
thirty
years
old
and
upward;
and
their
number,
by
their polls,
man
by
man,
was thirty-eight
thousand.
\VS{4}Of
these,
twenty-four
thousand
were
to preside
over
the
work
of
the
house

Jehovah;

six
thousand
were
officers

judges;

four
thousand
were doorkeepers;

four
thousand
praised
Jehovah
with
the
instruments
which
I
made, [said David,]
to
praise [therewith].

David
divided
them into courses according

the
Gershonites: Laadan
and
Shimei.

Joel,
three.

Jahath
was
the
head,

the
second;

Jeush

Beriah
had
not
many
sons:
as father's
house,
therefore,
they
were reckoned
as
one.

of
Kohath:
Amram, Jizhar,
Hebron,
and
Uzziel,
four.
\VS{13}The
sons
of
Amram:
Aaron
and
Moses.
And
Aaron
was
separated,

of
Merari:
Mahli

of
Mahli:
Eleazar

Ahithophel
was
Jehoiada
the
son
of
Benaiah,
and
Abiathar;
and
Joab
was
captain
of
the king's
army.

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
assembled
all
the
princes
of
Israel,
the
princes
of
the
tribes,
and
the
princes
of
the
divisions
that
ministered
to
the
king,
and
the
captains
over

the
captains
over

the comptrollers

of
the
king
and
of
his
sons,
with
the chamberlains,
and
the
mighty
men,
and
all
the
men
of valour, unto
Jerusalem.
\VS{2}And
king
David
stood
up
upon
his
feet,
and
said,
Hear
me,
my
brethren
and
my
people!
I
had
in
my
heart
to
build
a
house
of
rest
for
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
and
for
the footstool
of
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
I
have
prepared
to
build.
\VS{3}But
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
said
to
me, Thou shalt
not
build
a
house unto
my
name,
for thou art
a
man
of
war,
and hast
shed
blood.
\VS{4}And
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:4 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
Israel
chose
me
out
of
all
the
house
of
my
father
to
be
king
over
Israel
for
ever;
for
he
has
chosen
Judah
to
be
the
prince;
and
of
the
house
of
Judah,
the
house
of
my
father;
and
among
the
sons
of
my
father
he
took
pleasure
in
me
to
make
me
king
over
all
Israel;
\VS{5}and
of
all
my
sons, (for
Jehovah
has
given
me
many
sons,)
he
has
chosen
Solomon
my
son
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
the
kingdom
of
Jehovah
over
Israel.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
me,
Solomon thy
son,
he
shall
build
my
house
and
my courts;
for
I
have
chosen
him
to
be
my
son,
and
I
will
be
his
father.
\VS{7}And
I
will
establish
his
kingdom
for
ever,
if
he
be
firm
to
do
my
commandments
and mine
ordinances,
as
at
this
day.
\VS{8}And
now
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
the
congregation
of
Jehovah,
and
in
the audience
of
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God, —
keep
and
seek
for
all
the
commandments
of
Jehovah
your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:8 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
that ye
may
possess
the
good
land,
and
leave
it
as
an
inheritance
to
your
children
after
you
for
ever.
\VS{9}And thou,
Solomon
my
son,
know
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:9 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of thy
father,
and
serve
him
with
a
perfect
heart
and
with
a
willing
mind;
for
Jehovah
searches
all
hearts,
and discerns
all
the imaginations
of
the
thoughts.
If thou
seek
him,
he
will
be
found
of thee;
but
if thou
forsake
him,
he
will cut thee
off
for
ever.
\VS{10}Consider
now,
that
Jehovah
has
chosen thee
to
build
a
house
for
the
sanctuary:
be
strong,
and
do [it].
\VS{11}And
David
gave
to
Solomon
his
son
the
pattern
of
the
porch,
and
of
its
houses,
and
of
its treasuries,
and
of
its
upper
chambers,

inner
chambers,

the mercy-seat;

of
all
that
he
had
by
the
Spirit,
of
the courts
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,

of
all
the

round
about,
for
the
treasuries

and
for
the
treasuries

the

for its

and
for
the
silver candlesticks,

for

and
for its

to
the
use
of every candlestick;
\VS{16}and
gold
by

for
the

to
be set
in

silver
for

pure

for the forks,

for
the

of

refined
gold
by

the

of
the
chariot
of
the
cherubim
of
gold, which
spread
out [their wings]
and cover
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah.
\VS{19}All
this [said
David,]
in
writing,
by Jehovah's
hand
upon
me, instructing
as
to
all
the
works
of
the
pattern.
\VS{20}And
David
said
to
Solomon
his
son,
Be
strong
and
courageous,
and
do
it;
fear
not
nor
be
dismayed:
for
Jehovah
Elohim,
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
will
be
with thee;
he
will
not
leave thee,
neither
forsake thee,
until
all
the
work
for
the
service
of
the
house
of
Jehovah
is
finished.
\VS{21}And
behold,
the courses
of

are
for
all
the
service
of
the
house
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 28:21 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God;
and thou hast
with thee
for
all
manner
of
workmanship
every
willing
man, skilful
for
every sort
of
service;
and
the
princes
and
all
the
people
are
wholly
at thy
commandment.

\par }\Chap{29}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
king
David
said
to
all
the
congregation,
Solomon
my
son,
the
one
whom
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:1 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
has
chosen,
is
young
and
tender,
and
the
work
is
great;
for
this palace
is
not
to
be
for
man,
but
for
Jehovah
Elohim.
\VS{2}And
I
have
prepared according
to
all
my
power
for
the
house
of
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:2 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
gold
for [things
of]
gold,
and
silver
for [things

silver,

brass
for [things

brass,
iron
for [things

to

\VS{3}And
moreover,
in
my affection
for
the
house
of
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
I
have
given
of
my own
property
of
gold
and
silver,
for
the
house
of
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:3 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
over
and
above
all
that
I
have
prepared
for
the
house
of
the
sanctuary:
\VS{4}three
thousand
talents
of
gold,
of
the
gold
of
Ophir,
and
seven
thousand
talents
of
refined
silver,
to
overlay
the
walls
of
the
houses;
\VS{5}gold
for [things
of]
gold,
and
silver
for [things
of]
silver,
and
for
all manner
of
work
by
the
hands
of artificers.
And
who
is
willing
to
offer
to
Jehovah
this
day?
\VS{6}And
the
chief
fathers
and
princes
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
the
captains
of
thousands
and
of
hundreds,
and
the comptrollers
of
the king's
business,
offered
willingly.
\VS{7}And
they
gave
for
the
service
of
the
house
of

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
five
thousand
talents
and
ten

of
brass,

one

\VS{8}And
they
with whom
stones
were
found
gave [them]
to
the
treasure
of
the
house
of
Jehovah,
into
the
hand
of
Jehiel
the
Gershonite.
\VS{9}And
the
people
rejoiced
because
they
offered
willingly,
for
with
perfect
heart
they
offered
willingly
to
Jehovah;
and
David
the
king
also
rejoiced
with
great
joy.
\VS{10}And
David
blessed
Jehovah
in
the
sight
of
all
the
congregation;
and
David
said,
Blessed
be thou,
Jehovah,
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:10 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
our
father
Israel,
for
ever
and
ever.
\VS{11}Thine,
Jehovah,
is
the
greatness,
and
the
power,
and
the
glory,
and
the splendour,
and
the
majesty;
for
all
that
is
in
the
heavens
and
on
the
earth
is thine: thine,
Jehovah,
is
the
kingdom,
and thou art exalted
as
Head above
all;
\VS{12}and
riches
and
glory
are
of thee,
and thou rulest
over
everything;
and
in thy
hand
is
power
and
might;
and
in thy
hand
it
is
to
make
all
great
and
strong.
\VS{13}And
now,
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:13 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
we
thank thee,
and
praise thy
glorious
name.
\VS{14}But
who
am
I,
and
what
is
my
people,
that
we
should
be
able
to
offer
willingly
after
this manner?
for
all
is
of thee,
and
of
that
which
is
from thy
hand
have
we
given thee.
\VS{15}For
we
are
strangers
before thee,
and
sojourners,
as
all
our
fathers:
our
days
on
the
earth
are
as
a
shadow,
and
there
is
no hope [of
life].
\VS{16}Jehovah
our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:16 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
all
this store
that
we
have
prepared
to
build thee
a
house
to thy
holy
name,
is
of thy
hand,
and
is
all thine own.
\VS{17}And
I
know,
my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:17 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
that thou triest
the
heart,
and hast
pleasure
in
uprightness.
In
the
uprightness
of
my
heart
have
I
willingly
offered
all
these
things;
and
now
have
I
seen
with
joy thy
people,
which
are
present
here,
offer
willingly
to thee.
\VS{18}Jehovah,
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:18 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}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
direct
their
hearts
to thee!
\VS{19}And
give
to
Solomon
my
son
a
perfect
heart,
to
keep thy
commandments, thy
testimonies,
and thy
statutes,
and
to
do
all,
and
to
build
the palace,
for
which
I
have
made
provision.
\VS{20}And
David
said
to
all
the
congregation,
Bless
now
Jehovah
your
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God.
And
all
the
congregation
blessed
Jehovah
the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 29:20 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
of
their
fathers,
and
bowed
down
their heads,
and
did
homage
to
Jehovah
and
the
king.
\VS{21}And
they
sacrificed
sacrifices
to
Jehovah,
and
offered
up burnt-offerings
to
Jehovah,
on
the morrow
after
that
day:
a
thousand bullocks,
a
thousand
rams,
a
thousand
lambs,
with
their drink-offerings,
and
sacrifices
in
abundance
for
all
Israel.
\VS{22}And
they
ate
and
drank
before
Jehovah
on
that
day
with
great
joy.
And
they made
Solomon
the
son
of
David
king
the
second
time,
and
anointed
him
to
Jehovah
to
be
prince,
and
Zadok
to
be
priest.
\VS{23}And
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
to
Solomon
the
king.
\VS{25}And
Jehovah
magnified
Solomon
exceedingly
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel,
and
bestowed
upon
him
royal
majesty
such
as
had
not
been
on
any
king
before
him
in
Israel.
\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:
he
reigned
seven
years
in
Hebron,
and
he
reigned
thirty-three
years
in
Jerusalem.
\VS{28}And
he
died
in
a
good
old
age,
full
of
days,
riches,
and honour;
and
Solomon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
\VS{29}And
the
acts
of
David
the
king,
first
and
last,
behold,
they
are
written
in
the book
of
Samuel
the
seer,
and
in
the book
of
Nathan
the
prophet,
and
in
the book
of
Gad
the
seer;
\VS{30}with
all
his
reign
and
his
might,
and
the
times
that
passed
over
him,
and
over
Israel,
and
over
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
countries.
