into Lahem. Now
these
are
things
of old.
\VS{23}These
are
the
potters,
and
they
dwelt
in Plantations,
and Hedges,
with
the
king
for
his
works,
and
they
abode
there.
\VS{24}The
sons
of
Simeon: Namuel,
and
Jamin,
Jarib, Zara,
Saul:
\VS{25}Sellum
his
son, Mapsam
his
son, Masma
his
son.
\VS{26}The
sons
of Masma: Hamuel
his
son, Zachur
his
son, Semei
his
son.
\VS{27}The
sons
of Semei
were
sixteen,
and
six
daughters:
but
his
brethren
had
not
many
sons,
and
the
whole kindred could
not reach
to
the sum
of
the
children
of Juda.
\VS{28}And they
dwelt
in Bersabee,
and Molada,
and Hasarsuhal,
\VS{29}And in Bala, and in Asom, and in Tholad,
\VS{30}And in Bathuel,
and in Horma,
and in Siceleg,
\VS{31}And
in Bethmarchaboth,
and
in Hasarsusim,
and
in Bethberai,
and
in Saarim.
These
were
their
cities unto
the
reign
of
David.
\VS{32}Their
towns also were
Etam,
and Aen, Remmon,
and Thochen,
and Asan,
five
cities.
\VS{33}And
all
their villages
round
about
these
cities
as
far
as
Baal.
This
was
their
habitation,
and
the distribution
of
their
dwellings.
\VS{34}And Mosabab
and Jemlech,
and Josa,
the
son
of Amasias,
\VS{35}And
Joel,
and
Jehu
the
son
of Josabia
the

Asiel,

the
son
of Sephei
the
son
of
Allon
the
son
of Idaia
the
son
of Semri
the
son
of Samaia.
\VS{38}These
were
named
princes
in
their kindreds,
and
in
the
houses
of
their
families
were
multiplied exceedingly.
\VS{39}And
they went forth
to
enter
into Gador
as
far
as
to
the
east
side
of
the
valley,
to
seek
pastures
for
their
flocks.
\VS{40}And
they
found fat
pastures,
and very
good,
and
a
country
spacious,
and
quiet,
and fruitful,
in
which
some
of
the race
of Cham
had
dwelt
before.
\VS{41}And
these
whose
names
are
written above,
came
in
the
days
of Ezechias
king
of Juda:
and
they
beat
down
their
tents,
and
slew
the
inhabitants
that
were
found
there,
and utterly
destroyed
them unto
this
day:
and
they
dwelt
in
their
place,
because
they
found
there fat
pastures.
\VS{42}Some also
of
the
children
of
Simeon,
five
hundred
men,
went
into
mount
Seir, having
for
their
captains Phaltias
and Naaria
and Raphaia
and Oziel
the
sons
of Jesi:
\VS{43}And
they
slew
the
remnant
of
the Amalecites,
who
had been able
to
escape,
and
they
dwelt
there
in
their stead unto
this
day.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the
sons
of Ruben
the
firstborn
of
Israel, (for
he
was
his
firstborn:
but forasmuch
as
he defiled
his
father’s
bed,
his first
birthright
was
given
to
the
sons
of
Joseph
the
son
of
Israel,
and
he
was
not accounted
for
the
firstborn.
\VS{2}But
of
the race
of Juda,
who
was
the strongest
among
his
brethren, came
the
princes:
but
the first
birthright
was accounted
to
Joseph.)
\VS{3}The
sons
then
of Ruben
the
firstborn
of
Israel
were
Enoch,

whom Thelgathphalnasar
king

the Assyrians
carried
away
captive,

he
was
prince
in
the tribe
of Ruben.
\VS{7}And his
brethren,
and all his kindred, when they
were numbered
by their
families,
had
for princes Jehiel,
and Zacharias.
\VS{8}And Bala
the
son
of
Azaz,
the
son
of Samma,
the
son
of
Joel,
dwelt
in
Aroer
as
far
as
Nebo,
and Beelmeon.
\VS{9}And
eastward
he
had
his habitation
as
far
as
the
entrance
of
the
desert,
and
the
river
Euphrates.
For
they possessed
a great
number
of
cattle
in
the
land
of Galaad.
\VS{10}And
in
the
days
of
Saul
they fought
against
the Agarites,
and slew
them,
and
dwelt
in
their
tents
in
their stead,
in
all
the country,
that looketh
to
the
east
of Galaad.
\VS{11}And
the
children
of
Gad
dwelt
over
against
them
in
the
land
of Basan,
as
far
as Selcha:
\VS{12}Johel
the
chief,
and Saphan
the
second:
and
Janai,
and Saphat
in Basan.
\VS{13}And their
brethren according
to
the
houses
of their kindreds,
were
Michael,
and Mosollam,
and Sebe,
and
Jorai,
and
Jacan,

seven.
\VS{14}These
were

the
son
of Galaad,
the
son
of
Michael,

\VS{15}And their brethren
the
sons
of
Abdiel,
the

Guni,
chief
of
the
house
in their

\VS{16}And
they
dwelt
in Galaad,
and
in Basan
and
in
the
towns thereof,
and
in
all
the suburbs
of Saron, unto
the
borders.
\VS{17}All
these
were numbered
in
the
days
of Joathan
king
of Juda,
and
in
the
days
of
Jeroboam
king
of
Israel.
\VS{18}The
sons
of Ruben,
and
of
Gad,
and
of
the
half
tribe
of Manasses, fighting
men,
bearing
shields,
and
swords,
and bending
the
bow,
and
trained
up
to
battles,
four
and
forty
thousand
seven
hundred
and threescore
that
went
out
to
war.
\VS{19}They fought
against
the Agarites:
but
the Itureans,
and Naphis,
and
Nodab,
\VS{20}Gave
them
help.
And
the Agarites
were
delivered
into
their
hands,
and
all
that
were
with
them,
because
they
called
upon
God
in
the
battle:
and
he
heard
them,
because
they
had
put
their faith
in
him.
\VS{21}And
they
took
all
that
they possessed,
of
camels
fifty
thousand,
and
of
sheep
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand,
and
of asses
two
thousand,
and
of
men a
hundred
thousand
souls.
\VS{22}And
many
fell
down
slain:
for
it
was
the
battle
of
the Lord.
And
they
dwelt
in
their
stead
till
the captivity.
\VS{23}And
the
children
of
the
half
tribe
of Manasses possessed
the
land,
from
the borders
of Basan unto Baal,
Hermon,
and Sanir,
and
mount
Hermon,
for
their
number
was great.
\VS{24}And
these
were
the
heads
of
the
house
of
their kindred,
Epher,
and Jesi,
and
Eliel,
and Esriel,
and Jeremia,
and Odoia,
and Jediel, most
valiant
and
powerful
men,
and
famous
chiefs
in
their
families.
\VS{25}But
they forsook
the
God
of
their
fathers,
and
went astray
after
the
gods
of
the
people
of
the
land,
whom
God
destroyed
before
them.
\VS{26}And
the
God
of
Israel
stirred
up
the
spirit
of Phul
king
of
the Assyrians,
and
the
spirit
of Thelgathphalnasar
king
of Assur:
and
he
carried
away Ruben,
and
Gad,
and
the
half
tribe
of Manasses,
and
brought
them
to Lahela,
and
to
Habor,
and
to Ara,
and
to
the
river
of
Gozan, unto
this
day.

But
his armourbearer
would
not,

when
his armourbearer
saw
it,
to wit,
that

fell
upon

round,
and
Joab
built
the
rest
of
the
city.
\VS{9}And
David
went
on
growing
and increasing,
and
the
Lord
of
hosts
was
with
him.
\VS{10}These
are
the
chief
of
the
valiant
men
of
David,
who
helped
him
to
be
made
king
over
all
Israel,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord,
which
he
spoke
to
Israel.
\VS{11}And
this
is
the
number
of
the
heroes
of
David: Jesbaam
the
son
of Hachamoni
the
chief
among
the
thirty:
he
lifted
up
his
spear
against
three
hundred
wounded
by
him
at
one
time.
\VS{12}And
after
him
was
Eleazar
his uncle’s
son
the
Ahohite,
who
was
one
of
the
three mighties.
\VS{13}He
was
with
David
in Phesdomim,
when
the
Philistines
were
gathered
to
that
place
to
battle:
and
the
field
of
that
country
was
full
of
barley,
and
the
people
fled
from
before
the
Philistines.
\VS{14}But these
men
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
field,
and
defended
it:
and
they
slew
the
Philistines,
and
the
Lord
gave
a
great
deliverance
to
his people.
\VS{15}And
three
of
the
thirty
captains
went
down
to
the
rock, wherein
David
was,
to
the
cave
of Odollam,
when
the
Philistines
encamped
in
the
valley
of Raphaim.
\VS{16}And
David
was
in
a hold,
and
the
garrison
of
the
Philistines
in
Bethlehem.
\VS{17}And
David
longed,
and
said:
O
that some
man
would
give
me
water
of
the
cistern
of
Bethlehem,
which
is
in
the
gate.
\VS{18}And
these
three
broke
through
the midst
of
the
camp
of
the
Philistines,
and
drew
water
out
of
the
cistern
of
Bethlehem,
which
was
in
the
gate,
and
brought
it
to
David
to
drink:
and
he
would
not
drink
of
it,
but
rather offered
it
to
the
Lord,
\VS{19}Saying:
God
forbid
that
I
should
do
this
in
the sight
of
my
God,
and
should
drink
the
blood
of
these
men:
for
with
the danger
of
their
lives
they
have
brought
me
the water.
And
therefore
he
would
not
drink.
These
things
did
the
three most
valiant.
\VS{20}And Abisai
the
brother
of
Joab,
he
was
chief
of
three,
and
he
lifted
up
his
spear
against
three
hundred whom
he slew,
and
he
was
renowned
among
the
three,
\VS{21}And illustrious
among
the
second
three,
and
their
captain:
but
yet
he attained
not
to
the first
three.
\VS{22}Banaias
the
son
of
Joiada,
a
most
valiant
man,
of Cabseel,
who
had
done
many acts:
he
slew
the
two ariels
of
Moab:
and
he
went
down,
and
killed
a
lion
in
the
midst
of
a
pit
in
the
time
of
snow.
\VS{23}And
he
slew
an
Egyptian,
whose stature
was
of
five
cubits,
and
who
had
a
spear
like
a
weaver’s
beam:
and
he
went
down
to
him
with
a
staff,
and plucked
away
the
spear,
that
he held
in
his
hand,
and
slew
him
with
his
own
spear.
\VS{24}These
things
did Banaias
the
son
of
Joiada,
who
was
renowned
among
the
three
valiant
ones,
\VS{25}And
the first
among
the
thirty,
but
yet
to
the
three
he attained
not:
and
David
made
him
of
his council.
\VS{26}Moreover
the most
valiant
men
of
the
army,
were
Asahel
brother
of
Joab,
and Elchanan
the

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
these
are
they
that
came
to
David
to Siceleg,
while
he
yet fled
from
Saul
the
son
of Cia,
and
they
were most
valiant
and excellent
warriors,
\VS{2}Bending
the
bow,
and using either
hand
in hurling
stones
with slings,
and shooting
arrows:
of
the
brethren
of
Saul
of
Benjamin.
\VS{3}The
chief
was
Ahiezer,
and Joas,
the
sons
of Samaa
of Gabaath,
and Jaziel,
and Phallet
the
sons
of Azmoth,
and Beracha,
and
Jehu an
Anathothite.
\VS{4}And Samaias
of Gabaon,
the stoutest amongst
the
thirty
and
over
the
thirty; Jeremias,
and Jeheziel,
and Johanan,
and Jezabad
of Gaderoth;
\VS{5}And Eluzai,
and Jerimuth,
and Baalia,
and Samaria,
and Saphatia
the Haruphite;
\VS{6}Elcana,
and Jesia,
and Azareel,
and Joezer,
and Jesbaam of Carehim:
\VS{7}And Joela,
and Zabadia
the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
\VS{8}From Gaddi also there went
over
to David,
when
he
lay hid
in
the wilderness
most valiant
men,
and excellent
warriors, holding shield
and spear:
whose faces
were
like
the faces
of
a lion,
and they
were swift
like
the roebucks
on
the mountains.
\VS{9}Ezer
the chief, Obdias
the second, Eliab
the third,
\VS{10}Masmana
the fourth, Jeremias
the fifth.
\VS{11}Ethi
the sixth, Eliel
the seventh,
\VS{12}Johanan
the eighth, Elzebad
the ninth,
\VS{13}Jerenias
the tenth, Machbani
the eleventh,
\VS{14}These were
of
the sons
of Gad, captains
of
the army:
the least
of them
was captain over a hundred soldiers,
and
the greatest over a thousand.
\VS{15}These
are
they
who passed
over
the Jordan
in
the
first month,
when
it
is used
to how
over its banks:
and
they put
to flight
all
that dwelt
in
the valleys both
toward
the east
and
toward
the west.
\VS{16}And
there
came
also
of
the
men
of Benjamin,
and
of Juda
to
the hold,
in
which David abode.
\VS{17}And
David
went
out
to meet
them,
and said:
If
you
are
come peaceably
to
me
to help
me, let
my heart
be
joined
to
you:
but
if
you plot
against
me
for
my enemies whereas
I
have
no iniquity
in
my hands, let
the God
of
our fathers
see,
and judge.
\VS{18}But
the spirit
came
upon Amasai
the chief
among thirty,
and
he
said:
We
are thine,
O
David,
and
for thee,
O son
of Isai:
peace,
peace
be
to thee,
and
peace
to thy
helpers.
For thy
God helpeth thee.
So
David
received
them,
and
made
them captains
of
the band.
\VS{19}And
there
were some
of Manasses
that went
over
to
David,
when
he
came
with
the Philistines
against Saul
to fight:
but
he did
not fight
with
them:
because
the lords
of
the Philistines taking counsel
sent
him back, saying:
With
the danger
of
our
heads
he
will return
to
his
master Saul.
\VS{20}So
when
he
went
back
to Siceleg, there fled
to
him
of Manasses, Ednas
and Jozabad,
and Jedihel,
and Michael,
and Ednas,
and Jozabad,
and Eliu,
and Salathi,
captains
of thousands
in Manasses.
\VS{21}These helped David
against
the rovers:
for
they
were
all most valiant
men,
and
were
made commanders
in
the army.
\VS{22}Moreover day
by day
there
came
some
to
David
to
help
him till
they
became
a
great number,
like
the
army
of God.
\VS{23}And
this
is
the number
of
the chiefs
of
the
army
who
came
to
David,
when
he
was
in Hebron,
to transfer
to
him
the kingdom
of Saul,
according
to
the word
of
the Lord.
\VS{24}The sons
of Juda bearing shield
and spear, six thousand eight hundred well appointed
to
war.
\VS{25}Of
the
sons
of Simeon valiant
men
for
war, seven
thousand
one
hundred.
\VS{26}Of
the
sons
of Levi, four
thousand six
hundred.
\VS{27}And Joiada prince
of
the
race
of Aaron,
and
with
him
three
thousand seven
hundred.
\VS{28}Sadoc
also
a young man
of excellent disposition,
and
the house
of
his father, twenty-two principal men.
\VS{29}And
of
the
sons
of Benjamin
the brethren
of Saul, three thousand:
for hitherto
a
great part
of
them followed
the
house
of Saul.
\VS{30}And
of
the
sons
of Ephraim twenty
thousand eight hundred,
men
of great valour renowned
in
their kindreds.
\VS{31}And
of
the half tribe
of Manasses, eighteen
thousand,
every
one
by
their
names,
came
to
make David king.
\VS{32}Also
of
the sons
of Issachar men
of understanding,
that knew
all times
to order
what Israel
should
do,
two hundred principal men:
and
all
the rest
of
the
tribe
followed
their counsel.
\VS{33}And
of Zabulon
such
as went
forth
to battle,
and stood
in array
well
appointed
with armour
for war,
there came fifty thousand
to
his aid,
with
no double heart.
\VS{34}And
of Nephtali,
a
thousand leaders:
and
with
them seven
and thirty
thousand, furnished
with shield
and spear.
\VS{35}Of Dan
also twenty-eight
thousand six hundred prepared
for battle.
\VS{36}And
of Aser forty
thousand going forth
to
fight,
and challenging
in
battle.
\VS{37}And
on
the other side
of
the Jordan
of
the sons
of Ruben,
and
of Gad,
and
of
the half
of
the tribe
of Manasses
a hundred
and twenty
thousand, furnished
with arms
for
war.
\VS{38}All
these
men
of
war well appointed
to
fight, 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
they
were
there
with
David three days eating
and drinking:
for
their brethren
had
prepared
for
them.
\VS{40}Moreover
they
that
were
near
them
even
as far
as Issachar,
and Zabulon,
and Nephtali,
brought leaves
on asses,
and
on camels,
and
on mules,
and
on oxen,
to
eat: meal, figs, raisins, wine, oil,
and oxen,
and sheep
in abundance,
for
there
was joy
in Israel.

\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
consulted
with
the
captains
of
thousands,
and
of
hundreds,
and
with
all
the
commanders.
\VS{2}And
he
said
to
all
the
assembly
of
Israel:
If
it
please
you;
and
if
the words which
I
speak come
from
the
Lord
our
God,
let
us
send
to
the
rest
of
our
brethren
into
all
the
countries
of
Israel,
and
to
the
priests,
and
the
Levites,
that dwell
in
the suburbs
of
the
cities,
to
gather
themselves
to
us,
\VS{3}And
let
us
bring again
the
ark
of
our
God
to
us:
for
we
sought
it
not
in
the
days
of
Saul.
\VS{4}And
all
the multitude
answered
that
it
should
be
so:
for
the
word
pleased
all
the
people.
\VS{5}So
David
assembled
all
Israel
from Sihor
of
Egypt,
even
to
the
entering
into Emath,
to
bring
the
ark
of
God
from Cariathiarim.
\VS{6}And
David
went
up
with
all
the
men
of
Israel
to
the hill
of Cariathiarim
which
is
in Juda,
to
bring thence
the
ark
of
the
Lord
God
sitting
upon
the cherubims,
where
his
name
is
called
upon.
\VS{7}And
they
carried
the
ark
of
God
upon
a
new
cart,
out
of
the
house
of
Abinadab.
And Oza
and
his brother
drove
the
cart.
\VS{8}And
David
and
all
Israel
played
before
God
with
all
their
might
with hymns,
and
with
harps,
and
with psalteries,
and
timbrels,
and
cymbals,
and
trumpets,
\VS{9}And
when
they
came
to
the
floor
of
Chidon, Oza
put
forth
his
hand,
to
hold
up
the
ark:
for
the
ox being wanton
had made
it lean
a little
on
one
side.
\VS{10}And
the
Lord
was
angry
with Oza,
and
struck
him,
because
he
had touched
the
ark;
and
he
died
there
before
the
Lord.
\VS{11}And
David
was troubled
because
the
Lord
had divided Oza:
and
he
called
that
place
the
Breach
of Oza
to
this
day.
\VS{12}And
he
feared
God
at
that
time,
saying:
How
can
I
bring
in
the
ark
of
God
to
me?
\VS{13}And
therefore
he brought
it
not
home
to
himself,
that
is,
into
the
city
of
David,
but
carried
it
aside
into
the
house
of Obededom
the Gethite.
\VS{14}And
the
ark
of
God
remained
in
the
house
of Obededom
three
months:
and
the
Lord
blessed
his
house,
and
all
that
he
had.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
messengers
to
David,
and
cedar
trees,
and
masons,
and
carpenters,
to
build
him
a
house.
\VS{2}And
David
perceived
that
the
Lord
had
confirmed
him
king
over
Israel,
and
that
his
kingdom
was
exalted
over
his
people
Israel.
\VS{3}And
David
took
other
wives
in
Jerusalem:
and
he
beget
sons,
and
daughters.

\VS{8}And
the
Philistines
hearing
that
David
was
anointed
king
over
all
Israel,
went
all
up
to
seek
him:
and
David
heard
of
it,
and
went
out
against
them.
\VS{9}And
the
Philistines
came
and spread themselves
in
the vale
of Raphaim.
\VS{10}And
David consulted
the
Lord,
saying:
Shall
I
go
up
against
the
Philistines,
and wilt thou
deliver
them
into
my
hand?
And
the
Lord
said
to
him:
Go
up,
and
I
will
deliver
them
into thy
hand.
\VS{11}And
when
they
were
come
to Baalpharasim,
David
defeated
them
there,
and
he
said:
God hath divided
my
enemies
by
my
hand,
as
waters
are divided:
and
therefore
the
name
of
that
place
was
called Baalpharasim.
\VS{12}And
they
left
there
their
gods,
and
David
commanded
that
they
should
be
burnt.
\VS{13}Another
time
also
the
Philistines
made an irruption,
and spread themselves abroad
in
the
valley.
\VS{14}And
David consulted
God
again,
and
God
said
to
him:
Go
not
up
after
them,
turn
away
from
them,
and
come
upon
them
over
against
the pear
trees.
\VS{15}And
when thou shalt
hear
the
sound
of
one
going
in

then shalt thou
go
out
to
battle.
For
God
is
gone
out
before thee
to
strike

of
the
Philistines.

David
did
as
God
had
commanded
him,
and
defeated
the
army
of
the
Philistines,
slaying
them
from Gabaon
to Gazera.
\VS{17}And
the
name
of
David
became
famous
in
all
countries,

made
all
nations
fear
him.

made
also

for himself
in

and
built
a
place
for

and
pitched
a
tabernacle
for
it.

said:
No

the
heads
of
the
Levitical
families,
be
sanctified
with
your
brethren,
and brine
the
ark
of
the
Lord
the
God
of
Israel
to
the
place, which
is
prepared
for
it:
\VS{13}Lest
as
the
Lord
at
first struck
us,
because
you
were
not present,
the same
should
now
also come
to pass,
by
our doing some
thing against
the law.
\VS{14}So
the
priests
and
the
Levites
were
sanctified,
to
carry
the
ark
of
the
Lord
the
God
of
Israel.
\VS{15}And
the
sons
of
Levi
took
the
ark
of
God
as
Moses
had
commanded,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord,
upon
their
shoulders,
with
the staves.
\VS{16}And
David
spoke
to
the
chiefs
of
the
Levites,
to
appoint some
of
their
brethren
to
be
singers
with
musical
instruments,
to wit,
on psalteries,
and
harps,
and
cymbals,
that
the joyful
noise might resound
on
high.
\VS{17}And they
appointed
Levites, Hemam
the
son
of
Joel,
and
of
his
brethren
Asaph
the
son
of Barachias:
and
of
the
sons
of
Merari,
their
brethren:
Ethan
the
son
of Casaia.
\VS{18}And
with
them
their
brethren:
in
the
second
rank, Zacharias,
and
Ben,
and Jaziel,
and Semiramoth,
and Jahiel,
and Ani,
and
Eliab,
and Banaias,
and Maasias,
and Mathathias,
and Eliphalu,
and Macenias,
and Obededom,
and
Jehiel,
the porters.
\VS{19}Now
the
singers,
Heman,
Asaph,
and
Ethan,
sounded
with
cymbals
of
brass.
\VS{20}And Zacharias,
and Oziel,
and Semiramoth,
and
Jehiel,
and Ani,
and
Eliab,
and Maasias,
and Banaias, sung mysteries
upon psalteries.
\VS{21}And Mathathias,
and Eliphalu,
and Macenias
and Obededom,
and Jehiel
and Ozaziu, sung
a song
of victory
for
the octave
upon
harps.
\VS{22}And Chonenias
chief
of
the
Levites, presided
over
the prophecy,
to
give out
the tunes:
for
he
was very
skillful.
\VS{23}And Barachias,
and Elcana,
were doorkeepers
of
the
ark.
\VS{24}And Sebenias,
and Josaphat,
and Nathanael,
and
Amasai,
and Zacharias,
and Banaias,
and
Eliezer
the
priests,
sounded
with
trumpets,
before
the
ark
of
God:
and Obededom
and Jehias
were porters
of
the
ark.
\VS{25}So
David
and
all
the ancients
of
Israel,
and
the
captains
over
thousands,
went
to
bring
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
out
of
the
house
of Obededom
with
joy.
\VS{26}And
when
God
had
helped
the
Levites
who
carried
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord,
they
offered
in
sacrifice
seven
oxen,
and
seven
rams.
\VS{27}And
David
was
clothed
with
a
robe
of
fine
linen,
and
all
the
Levites
that
carried
the
ark,
and
the
singing
men,
and Chonenias
the
ruler
of
the prophecy
among
the
singers:
and
David
also
had
on
him
an
ephod
of
linen.
\VS{28}And
all
Israel
brought
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
with
joyful
shouting,
and sounding
with
the
sound
of
the comet,
and
with
trumpets,
and
cymbals,
and psalteries,
and
harps.
\VS{29}And
when
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
was
come
to
the
city
of
David, Michol
the
daughter
of
Saul
looking
out
at
a
window,
saw
king
David dancing
and
playing,
and
she
despised
him
in
her
heart.

\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}So
they
brought
the
ark
of
God,
and
set
it
in
the
midst
of
the
tent,
which
David
had
pitched
for
it:
and
they
offered holocausts,
and
peace
offerings
before
God.
\VS{2}And
when
David
had
made
an
end
of
offering holocausts,
and
peace
offerings,
he
blessed
the
people
in
the
name
of
the
Lord.
\VS{3}And
he
divided
to
all
and
every
one,
both
men
and
women,
a
loaf
of
bread,
and
a piece
of roasted beef,
and flour fried
with oil.
\VS{4}And
he
appointed
Levites
to
minister
before
the
ark
of
the
Lord,
and
to
remember
his works,
and
to
glorify,
and
praise
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
\VS{5}Asaph
the
chief,
and
next after
him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel,
and Semiramoth,
and
Jehiel,
and Mathathias,
and
Eliab,
and Banaias,
and Obededom:
and
Jehiel
over
the
instruments
of psaltery,
and
harps:
and
Asaph
sounded
with
cymbals:
\VS{6}But Banaias,
and Jaziel
the
priests,
to sound
the
trumpet
continually
before
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the Lord.
\VS{7}In
that
day
David
made
Asaph
the
chief
to
give
praise
to
the
Lord
with
his
brethren.
\VS{8}Praise ye
the
Lord,
and
call
upon
his
name:
make
known
his doings
among
the
nations.
\VS{9}Sing
to
him, yea,
sing
praises
to
him:
and relate
all
his
wondrous
works.
\VS{10}Praise ye
his
holy
name:
let
the
heart
I
of
them
rejoice,
that
seek
the
Lord.
\VS{11}Seek ye
the
Lord,
and
his
power:
seek ye
his
face evermore.
\VS{12}Remember
his
wonderful
works,
which
he hath
done:
his signs,
and
the
judgments
of
his
mouth.
\VS{13}O ye
seed
of
Israel
his
servants, ye
children
of
Jacob
his
chosen.
\VS{14}He
is
the
Lord
our
God:
his
judgments
are
in
all
the
earth.
\VS{15}Remember
for
ever
his
covenant:
the
word,
which
he
commanded
to
a
thousand
generations.
\VS{16}The covenant
which
he
made
with
Abraham:
and
his
oath
to
Isaac.
\VS{17}And
he
appointed
the same
to
Jacob
for
a precept:
and
to
Israel
for an
everlasting
covenant:
\VS{18}Saying:
To thee
will
I
give
the
land
of Chanaan:
the lot
of
your
inheritance.
\VS{19}When they
were
but
a
small
number: very
few
and sojourners
in
it.
\VS{20}And
they passed
from
nation
to
nation:
and
from
a
kingdom
to
another
people.
\VS{21}He suffered
no
man
to do
them wrong:
and
reproved
kings
for
their
sake.
\VS{22}Touch
not
my
anointed:
and
do
no
evil
to
my
prophets.
\VS{23}Sing ye
to
the
Lord,
all
the
earth: shew forth
from
day
to
day
his
salvation.
\VS{24}Declare
his
glory
among
the
Gentiles:
his
wonders
among
all
people.
\VS{25}For
the
Lord
is
great
and
exceedingly
to
be
praised:
and
he
is
to
be
feared
above
all
gods.
\VS{26}For
all
the
gods
of
the
nations
are
idols:
but
the
Lord
made
the
heavens.
\VS{27}Praise
and magnificence
are
before
him:
strength
and
joy
in
his
place.
\VS{28}Bring ye
to
the
Lord,
O ye
families
of
the
nations:
bring ye
to
the
Lord
glory
and empire.
\VS{29}Give
to
the
Lord
glory
to
his
name,
bring
up
sacrifice,
and
come ye
in
his
sight:
and adore
the
Lord
in
holy becomingness.
\VS{30}Let
all
the
earth
be
moved
at
his
presence:
for
he hath founded
the
world immoveable.
\VS{31}Let
the
heavens
rejoice,
and
the
earth
be
glad:
and
let
them
say
among
the
nations:
The
Lord hath
reigned.
\VS{32}Let
the
sea
roar,
and
the fulness thereof:
let
the
fields
rejoice,
and
all
things
that
are
in
them.
\VS{33}Then
shall
the
trees
of
the
wood
give
praise
before
the
Lord:
because
he
is
come
to
judge
the
earth.
\VS{34}Give ye glory
to
the
Lord,
for
he
is
good:
for
his
mercy endureth
for
ever.
\VS{35}And
say ye:
Save
us,
O
God
our saviour:
and
gather
us
together,
and
deliver
us
from
the
nations,
that we
may
give glory
to thy
holy
name,
and
may rejoice
in singing thy
praises.
\VS{36}Blessed
be
the
Lord
the
God
of
Israel
from
eternity
to
eternity:
and let
all
the
people
say
Amen,
and
a hymn
to
God.
\VS{37}So
he
left
there
before
the
ark
of

covenant
of

Lord,
Asaph
and
his
brethren
to
minister
in
the
presence
of
the

continually

and
in
their
courses.
\VS{38}And Obededom,
with
his
brethren sixty-eight:
and Obededom
the
son
of Idithun,
and Hosa
he appointed
to
be porters.
\VS{39}And Sadoc
the
priest,
and
his
brethren
priests,
before
the
tabernacle
of
the
Lord
in
the
high
place,
which
was
in Gabaon.
\VS{40}That
they
should
offer holocausts
to
the
Lord
upon
the
altar
of holocausts
continually,
morning
and
evening,
according
to
all
that
is
written
in
the
law
of
the
Lord,
which
he
commanded
Israel.
\VS{41}And
after
him
Heman,
and Idithun,
and
the
rest
that
were
chosen, every
one
by
his
name
to
give
praise
to
the
Lord:
because
his
mercy endureth
for
ever.
\VS{42}And
Heman
and Idithun
sounded
the
trumpet,
and played
on
the
cymbals,
and all
kinds
of
musical
instruments
to sing
praises
to
God:
and
the
sons
of Idithun
he
made porters.
\VS{43}And
all
the
people
returned
to
their
houses:
and
David
to
bless
also
his
own
house.

\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
David
was
dwelling
in
his
house,
he
said
to
Nathan
the
prophet:
Behold
I
dwell
in
a
house
of cedar:
and
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord
is
under skins.
\VS{2}And
Nathan
said
to
David:
Do
all
that
is
in thy
heart:
for
God
is
with thee.
\VS{3}Now
that
night
the
word
of
God
came
to
Nathan,
saying:
\VS{4}Go,
and
speak
to
David
my
servant:
Thus saith
the
Lord: Thou shalt
not
build
me
a
house
to
dwell
in.
\VS{5}For
I
have
not
remained
in
a
house
from
the
time
that
I
brought
up
Israel,
to
this
day:
but
I
have
been
always changing
places
in
a
tabernacle,
and
in
a
tent,
\VS{6}Abiding
with
all
Israel.
Did
I ever
speak
to
any
one,
of
all
the
judges
of
Israel,
whom
I
charged
to
feed
my
people,
saying:
Why
have
you
not
built
me
a
house
of cedar?
\VS{7}Now
therefore
thus shalt thou
say
to
my
servant
David:
Thus saith
the
Lord
of
hosts:
I
took thee
from
the pastures,
from
following
the
flock,
that thou shouldst
be
ruler
of
my
people
Israel.
\VS{8}And
I
have
been
with thee whithersoever thou hast
gone:
and
have slain
all thy
enemies
before thee,
and
have
made thee
a
name
like
that
of
one
of
the
great
ones
that
are
renowned
in
the
earth.
\VS{9}And
I
have given
a
place
to
my
people
Israel:
they
shall
be
planted,
and
shall
dwell therein,
and
shall
be
moved
no
more,
neither
shall
the
children
of
iniquity
waste
them,
as
at
the
beginning,
\VS{10}Since
the
days
that
I
gave
judges
to
my
people
Israel,
and
have
humbled
all thy
enemies.
And
I
declare
to thee,
that
the
Lord
will
build thee
a
house.
\VS{11}And
when thou shalt
have
ended thy
days
to
go
to thy
fathers,
I
will
raise
up thy
seed
after thee,
which
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
to
him
a
father,
and
he
shall
be
to
me
a
son:
and
I
will
not
take
my mercy
away
from
him,
as
I
took
it
from
him
that
was
before thee.
\VS{14}But
I
will settle
him
in
my
house,
and
in
my
kingdom
for
ever:
and
his
throne
shall
be most
firm
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
came
and
sat
before
the
Lord,
and
said:
Who
am
I,
O
Lord
God,
and
what
is
my
house,
that thou shouldst
give such things
to
me?
\VS{17}But
even
this hath
seemed little
in thy
sight,
and
therefore thou hast
also
spoken
concerning
the
house
of thy
servant
for
the time
to
come:
and
best
made
me remarkable
above all
men,
O
Lord
God.
\VS{18}What
can
David
add
more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy
servant,
and
known
him?
\VS{19}O
Lord,
for thy
servant’s
sake, according
to thy own
heart, thou hast shewn
all
this magnificence,
and wouldst
have
all
the
great
things
to
be
known.
\VS{20}O
Lord
there
is
none
like thee:
and
there
is
no
other
God beside thee,
of
all
whom
we
have
heard
of
with
our
ears.
\VS{21}For
what
other
nation
is
there
upon
earth
like thy
people
Israel,
whom
God
went
to
deliver,
and
make
a
people
for
himself,
and
by
his
greatness
and terrors cast
out
nations
before
their
face
whom
he
had
delivered
out
of
Egypt?
\VS{22}And thou hast
made thy
people
Israel
to
be thy
own
people
for
ever,
and thou,
O
Lord, art
become
their
God.
\VS{23}Now
therefore,
O
Lord,
let
the
word
which thou hast
spoken
to thy
servant,
and
concerning
his
house,
be
established
for
ever,
and
do
as thou hast
said.
\VS{24}And let thy
name
remain
and
be
magnified
for
ever:
and let
it
be
said:
The
Lord
of
hosts
is
God
of
Israel,
and
the
house
of
David
his
servant remaineth
before
him.
\VS{25}For thou,
O Lord
my
God, hast
revealed
to
the
ear
of thy
servant,
that thou wilt
build
him
a
house:
and
therefore thy
servant hath
found confidence
to
pray
before thee.
\VS{26}And
now
O
Lord, thou art
God:
and thou hast
promised
to thy
servant
such
great benefits.
\VS{27}And thou hast begun
to
bless
the
house
of thy
servant,
that
it
may
be
always
before thee:
for
seeing thou blessest
it,
O
Lord,
it
shall
be
blessed
for
ever.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
after
this,
that
David
defeated
the
Philistines,
and
humbled
them,
and
took
away Geth,
and
her
daughters
out
of
the
hands
of
the
Philistines,
\VS{2}And
he
defeated
Moab,
and
the
Moabites
were
made
David’s
servants,
and
brought
him
gifts.
\VS{3}At
that time
David
defeated
also Adarezer
king
of Soba
of
the land
of Hemath,
when
he went
to extend
his dominions
as far
as
the
river
Euphrates.
\VS{4}And
David
took
from
him
a
thousand
chariots,
and
seven
thousand
horsemen,
and
twenty
thousand
footmen,
and
he houghed
all
the
chariot
horses,
only
a
hundred
chariots, which
he
reserved
for
himself.
\VS{5}And
the Syrians
of
Damascus
came
also
to
help Adarezer
king
of Soba:
and
David
slew
of
them likewise
two
and
twenty
thousand
men.
\VS{6}And
he
put
a garrison
in
Damascus,
that
Syria
also
should
serve
him,
and
bring
gifts.
And
the
Lord
assisted
him
in
all
things
to
which
he
went.
\VS{7}And
David
took
the
golden
quivers
which
the
servants
of Adarezer
had,
and
he
brought
them
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{8}Likewise
out
of Thebath
and Chun,
cities
of Adarezer,
he
brought
very
much
brass,
of which
Solomon
made
the brazen
sea,
and
the
pillars,
and
the
vessels
of
brass.
\VS{9}Now
when Thou
king
of Hemath
heard
that
David
had
defeated
all
the
army
of Adarezer
king
of Soba,
\VS{10}He
sent Adoram
his
son
to
king
David,
to desire
peace
of
him,
and
to congratulate
him
that
he
had
defeated
and
overthrown Adarezer:
for Thou
was
an enemy
to Adarezer.
\VS{11}And
all
the vessels
of
gold,
and
silver,
and brass
king
David
consecrated
to
the
Lord,
with
the
silver
and
gold
which
he
had
taken
from
all
the
nations,
as
well
from
Edom,
and
from
Moab,
and
from
the
sons
of
Ammon,
as
from
the
Philistines,
and
from Amalec.
\VS{12}And Abisai
the
son
of Sarvia
slew
of
the
Edomites
in
the vale
of
the saltpits,
eighteen
thousand:
\VS{13}And
he
put
a
garrison
in
Edom,
that
Edom
should
serve
David:
and
the
Lord preserved
David
in
all
things
to
which
he
went.
\VS{14}So
David
reigned
over
all
Israel,
and executed
judgment
and
justice
among
all
his
people.
\VS{15}And
Joab
the
son
of Sarvia
was
over

recorder.

the
son
of
Abiathar,
were

and Susa,
scribe.

the
son
of
Joiada
was
over
the bands

his
stead.
\VS{2}And
David
said:
I
will shew
kindness
to Hanon
the
son
of Naas:
for
his
father
did
a favour
to
me.
And
David
sent
messengers
to
comfort
him
upon
the death
of
his
father.
But
when
they
were
come
into
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
to
comfort Hanon,
\VS{3}The
princes
of
the
children
of
Ammon
said
to Hanon: Thou thinkest
perhaps
that
David
to
do honour
to thy
father hath
sent
comforters
to thee:
and thou dost
not
take
notice,
that
his
servants
are
come
to thee
to
consider,
and
search,
and
spy
out thy
land.
\VS{4}Wherefore Hanon
shaved
the heads
and beards
of
the
servants
of
David,
and
cut
away
their
garments
from
the buttocks
to
the feet,
and
sent
them
away.
\VS{5}And
when
they
were
gone,
they
sent
word
to
David,
who
sent
to
meet
them (for
they
had suffered
a
great affront)
and
ordered
them
to
stay
at
Jericho
till
their
beards grew
and
then
to
return.
\VS{6}And
when
the
children
of
Ammon
saw
that
they
had done
an injury
to
David, Hanon
and
the rest
of
the
people
sent
a
thousand
talents
of
silver,
to
hire
them
chariots
and
horsemen
out
of
Mesopotamia,
and
out
of
Syria Maacha,
and
out
of Soba.
\VS{7}And
they
hired
two
and
thirty
thousand
chariots,
and
the
king
of Maacha,
with
his
people.
And
they
came
and
camped
over
against Medaba.
And
the
children
of
Ammon
gathered
themselves
together
out
of
their
cities,
and
came
to
battle.
\VS{8}And
when
David
heard
of
it,
he
sent
Joab,
and
all
the
army
of
valiant
men:
\VS{9}And
the
children
of
Ammon
came
out
and
put
their
army
in
array before
the
gate
of
the
city:
and
the
kings,
that
were
come
to
their aid,
stood
apart
in
the
field.
\VS{10}Wherefore
Joab understanding
that
the
battle
was set
against
him
before
and
behind,
chose
out
the bravest
men
of
all
Israel,
and
marched
against
the Syrians,
\VS{11}And
the
rest
of
the
people
he
delivered
into
the
hand
of Abisai
his
brother,
and
they
went
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,
I
will
help thee.
\VS{13}Be
of
good
courage
and let
us
behave
ourselves manfully
for
our
people,
and
for
the
cities
of
our
God:
and
the
Lord
will
do
that
which
is
good
in
his
sight.
\VS{14}So
Joab
and
the
people
that
were
with
him,
went
against
the Syrians
to
the
battle:
and
he
put
them
to
flight.
\VS{15}And
the
children
of
Ammon
seeing
that
the Syrians
were
fled,
they
likewise
fled
from Abisai
his
brother,
and
went
into
the
city:
and
Joab
also
returned
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{16}But
the Syrians
seeing
that
they
had fallen
before
Israel,
sent
messengers,
and
brought
to
them
the Syrians
that
were
beyond
the
river:
and Sophach,
general
of
the
army
of Adarezer,
was
their
leader.
\VS{17}And
it
was
told
David,
and
he
gathered
together
all
Israel,
and
passed
the
Jordan,
and
came
upon
them,
and
put
his
army
in
array
against
them,
and
they
fought
with
him.
\VS{18}But
the
Syrian
fled
before
Israel:
and
David
slew
of
the Syrians
seven
thousand
chariots,
and
forty
thousand
footmen,
and Sophach
the
general
of
the
army.
\VS{19}And
when
the
servants
of Adarezer
saw themselves overcome
by
Israel,
they
went
over
to
David,
and
served
him:
and
Syria
would
not
help
the
children
of
Ammon
any
more.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass
after
the course
of
a
year,
at
the
time
that
kings
go
out
to
battle,
Joab gathered together
an
army
and
the strength
of
the
troops,
and
wasted
the
land
of
the
children
of
Ammon:
and
went
and besieged Rabba.
But
David
stayed
at
Jerusalem,
when
Joab
smote Rabba,
and
destroyed
it.
\VS{2}And
David
took
the
crown
of Melchom
from
his
head,
and
found
in
it
a
talent
weight
of
gold,
and
most
precious
stones,
and
he
made himself
a
diadem
of
it:
he
took
also
the
spoils
of
the
city which
were
very
great.
\VS{3}And
the
people
that
were therein
he
brought
out:
and
made harrows,
and sleds,
and chariots
of
iron
to
go
over
them,
so
that
they
were
cut
and bruised
to pieces:
in
this
manner
David dealt
with
all
the
cities
of
the
children
of
Ammon:
and
he
returned
with alibis
people
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{4}After
this
there
arose
a
war
at Gazer
against
the
Philistines:
in which Sabachai
the Husathite
slew Saphai
of
the race
of Raphaim,
and
humbled
them.
\VS{5}Another
battle
also
was
fought
against
the
Philistines,
in
which Adeodatus
the
son
of Saltus
a Bethlehemite
slew
the
brother
of
Goliath
the Gethite,
the staff
of
whose
spear
was
like
a
weaver’s
beam.
\VS{6}There
was
another
battle
also
in Geth,
in
which
there
was
a
man
of great stature,
whose
fingers
and
toes
were
four
and
twenty,
six
on
each hand
and foot:
who
also
was
born
of
the stock
of Rapha.
\VS{7}He reviled
Israel:
but
Jonathan
the
son
of Samaa
the
brother
of
David
slew
him. These
were
the
sons
of Rapha
in Geth,
who fell
by
the hand
of
David
and
his servants.

\par }\Chap{21}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
Satan
rose
up
against
Israel:
and
moved
David
to
number
Israel.
\VS{2}And
David
said
to
Joab,
and
to
the
rulers
of
the
people:
Go,
and
number
Israel
from Bersabee
even
to
Dan,
and
bring
me
the
number
of
them
that
I
may
know
it.
\VS{3}And
Joab
answered:
The
Lord
make
his
people
a
hundred
times
more
than
they
are:
but,
my
lord
the
king,
are
they
not
all thy
servants:
why doth
my
lord
seek
this
thing,
which
may
be imputed
as
a sin
to
Israel?
\VS{4}But
the
king’s
word rather
prevailed:
and
Joab
departed,
and
went
through
all
Israel:
and
returned
to
Jerusalem.
\VS{5}And
he
gave
David
the
number
of
them, whom
he
had surveyed:
and
all
the
number
of
Israel
was found
to
be eleven
hundred
thousand
men
that
drew
the
sword:
and
of Juda
four
hundred
and
seventy
thousand fighting
men.
\VS{6}But
Levi
and
Benjamin
he
did
not
number:
for
Joab unwillingly executed
the
king’s
orders.
\VS{7}And
God
was
displeased
with
this
thing
that
was commanded:
and
he
struck
Israel.
\VS{8}And
David
said
to
God:
I
have
sinned
exceedingly
in
doing
this:
I
beseech thee take
away
the
iniquity
of thy
servant,
for
I
have
done
foolishly.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
spoke
to
Gad
the
seer
of
David,
saying:
\VS{10}Go,
and
speak
to
David,
and
tell
him:
Thus saith
the
Lord:
I
give thee
the
choice
of
three
things:
choose
one which thou wilt,
and
I
will
do
it
to thee.
\VS{11}And
when
Gad
was
come
to
David,
he
said
to
him:
Thus saith
the
Lord: choose which thou wilt:
\VS{12}Either
three years’
famine:
or
three
months
to flee
from thy
enemies,
and
not
to
be able
to escape
their
sword:
or
three
days
to
have
the
sword
of
the
Lord,
and
pestilence
in
the
land,
and
the
angel
of
the
Lord
destroying
in
all
the coasts
of
Israel:
now
therefore
see
what
I
shall
answer
him
who
sent
me.
\VS{13}And
David
said
to
Gad:
I
am
on every
side
in
a
great strait:
but
it
is
better
for
me
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
Lord,
for
his
mercies
are
many,
than
into
the
hands
of
men.
\VS{14}So
the
Lord
sent
a
pestilence
upon
Israel.
And
there
fell
of
Israel
seventy
thousand
men.
\VS{15}And
he
sent
an
angel
to
Jerusalem,
to
strike
it:
and
as
he
was striking
it,
the
Lord beheld,
and
took
pity
for
the greatness
of
the
evil:
and
said
to
the
angel
that
destroyed:
It
is
enough,
now
stop thy
hand.
And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
stood
by
the thrashing
floor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
\VS{16}And
David lifting
up
his
eyes,
saw
the
angel
of
the
Lord
standing
between
heaven
and
earth,
with
a
drawn
sword
in
his
hand,
turned
against
Jerusalem:
and
both
he
and
the ancients
clothed
in haircloth,
fell
down
flat
on
the
ground.
\VS{17}And
David
said
to
God:
Am
not
I
he
that
commanded
the
people
to
be
numbered?
It
is
I
that
have
sinned:
it
is
I
that
have
done
the
evil:
but
as
for
this
flock,
what hath
it deserved?
O
Lord
my
God,
let thy
hand
be
turned,
I
beseech thee,
upon
me,
and
upon
my
father’s
house:
and
let
not thy
people
be destroyed.
\VS{18}And
the
angel
of
the
Lord
commanded
Gad
to
tell
David,
to
go
up,
and
build
an
altar
to
the
Lord
God
in
the thrashingfloor
of
Ornan
the
Jebusite.
\VS{19}And
David
went
up, according
to
the
word
of
Gad,
which
he
spoke
to
him
in
the
name
of
the
Lord.
\VS{20}Now
when
Ornan
looked
up,
and
saw
the
angel,
he
and
his
four
sons
hid
themselves:
for
at
that time
he
was thrashing
wheat
in
the floor.
\VS{21}And
as
David
was
coming
to
Ornan,
Ornan
saw
him,
and
went
out
of
the thrashingfloor
to
meet
him,
and
bowed
down
to
him
with
his
face
to
the
ground.
\VS{22}And
David
said
to
him:
Give
me
this
place
of thy thrashingfloor,
that
I
may
build therein
an
altar
to
the
Lord:
but thou shalt
take
of
me
as
much
money
as
it
is worth,
that
the
plague
may cease
from
the
people.
\VS{23}And
Ornan
said
to
David:
Take
it,
and
let
my
lord
the
king
do
all
that pleaseth
him:
and moreover
the
oxen
also
I
give
for
a holocaust,
and
the drays
for
wood,
and
the
wheat
for
the
sacrifice:
I
will
give
it
all willingly.
\VS{24}And
king
David
said
to
him:
It
shall
not
be
so,
but
I
will
give thee
money
as
much
as
it
is worth:
for
I
must
not
take
it
from thee,
and
so
offer
to
the
Lord holocausts
free
cost.
\VS{25}So
David
gave
to
Ornan
for
the
place,
six
hundred sicles
of
gold
of just
weight.
\VS{26}And
he
built
there
an
altar
to
the
Lord:
and
he
offered holocausts,
and
peace
offerings,
and
he
called
upon
the
Lord,
and
he heard
him
by sending
Are
from
heaven
upon
the
altar
of
the holocaust.
\VS{27}And
the
Lord
commanded
the
angel:
and
he
put
up
his
sword
again
into
the
sheath.
\VS{28}And
David
seeing
that
the
Lord
had
heard
him
in
the thrashingfloor
of Oman
the
Jebusite, forthwith
offered victims
there.
\VS{29}But
the
tabernacle
of
the
Lord,
which
Moses
made
in
the
desert,
and
the
altar
of holocausts,
was
at
that
time
in
the
high
place
of Gabaon.
\VS{30}And
David
could
not go
to
the altar
there
to pray
to
God:
for
he
was seized
with
an exceeding
great fear,
seeing
the
sword
of
the
angel
of
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
David
said:
This
is
the
house
of
God,
and
this
is
the
altar
for
the holocaust
of
Israel.
\VS{2}And
he
commanded
to
gather together all
the proselytes
of
the
land
of
Israel,
and
out
of
them
he
appointed
stonecutters
to
hew
stones
and polish
them,
to
build
the
house
of
God.
\VS{3}And
David
prepared
in
abundance
iron
for
the
nails
of
the
gates,
and
for
the closures
and joinings:
and
of
brass
an
immense
weight.
\VS{4}And
the
cedar
trees
were
without
number,
which
the
Sidonians,
and
Tyrians
brought
to
David.
\VS{5}And
David
said:
Solomon
my
son
is
very
young
and
tender,
and
the
house
which
I
would
have
to
be
built
to
the
Lord,
must
be
such
as
to
be
renowned
in
all
countries:
therefore
I
will
prepare
him necessaries.
And
therefore
before
his
death
he
prepared
all
the charges.
\VS{6}And
he
called
for
Solomon
his
son:
and
commanded
him
to
build
a
house
to
the
Lord
the
God
of
Israel.
\VS{7}And
David
said
to
Solomon:
My
son,
it
was
my
desire
to
have
built
a
house
to
the
name
of
the
Lord
my
God.
\VS{8}But
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying: Thou hast
shed
much
blood,
and fought
many
battles,
so thou canst
not
build
a
house
to
my
name,
after
shedding
so
much
blood
before
me:
\VS{9}The
son,
that
shall
be
born
to thee,
shall
be
a most
quiet
man:
for
I
will
make
him
rest
from
all
his
enemies
round
about:
and
therefore
he
shall
be
called Peaceable:
and
I
will
give
peace
and quietness
to
Israel
all
his
days.
\VS{10}He
shall
build
a
house
to
my
name,
and
he
shall
be
a
son
to
me,
and
I
will
be
a
father
to
him:
and
I
will
establish
the
throne
of
his
kingdom
over
Israel
for
ever.
\VS{11}Now
then,
my
son,
the
Lord
be
with thee,
and do thou
prosper,
and
build
the
house
to
the
Lord thy
God,
as
he hath
spoken
of thee.
\VS{12}The
Lord
also
give thee
wisdom
and
understanding,
that thou mayest
be able
to rule
Israel,
and
to
keep
the
law
of
the
Lord thy
God.
\VS{13}For
then thou shalt
be able
to
prosper,
if thou
keep
the commandments,
and
judgments,
which
the
Lord
commanded
Moses
to teach
Israel:
take
courage
and
act manfully,
fear
not,
nor
be
dismayed.
\VS{14}Behold
I
in
my poverty
have
prepared
the charges
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
of
gold
a
hundred
thousand
talents,
and
of
silver
a
million
of
talents:
but
of
brass,
and
of
iron
there
is
no
weight,
for
the
abundance surpasseth
all
account:
timber
also
and
stones
I
have
prepared
for
all
the charges.
\VS{15}Thou hast
also
workmen
in
abundance,
hewers
of
stones,
and
masons,
and
carpenters,
and
of
all trades
the most
skillful
in
their
work,
\VS{16}In
gold,
and
in
silver,
and
in
brass,
and
in
iron, whereof
there
is
no
number.
Arise
then,
and
be
doing,
and
the
Lord
will
be
with thee.
\VS{17}David
also
charged
all
the
princes
of
Israel,
to
help
Solomon
his
son,
\VS{18}Saying:
You see,
that
the
Lord
your
God
is
with
you,
and hath
given
you
rest
round
about,
and hath
delivered
all
your enemies
into
your
hands,
and
the
land
is
subdued
before
the
Lord,
and
before
his
people.
\VS{19}Give
therefore
your
hearts
and
your
souls,
to
seek
the
Lord
your
God:
and
arise,
and
build
a
sanctuary
to
the
Lord
God,
that
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord,
and
the
vessels
consecrated
to
the
Lord,
may
be
brought
into
the
house,
which
is
built
to
the
name
of
the
Lord.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
being
old
and
full
of
days, made
Solomon
his
son
king
over
Israel.
\VS{2}And
he
gathered
together
all
the
princes
of
Israel,
and
the
priests
and
Levites.
\VS{3}And
the
Levites
were
numbered
from
the
age
of
thirty
years,
and
upwards:
and
there
were found
of
them thirty-eight
thousand
men.
\VS{4}Of
these
twenty-four
thousand
were chosen,
and distributed unto
the ministry
of
the
house
of
the
Lord:
and
six
thousand
were
the overseers
and
judges.
\VS{5}Moreover
four
thousand
were porters:
and
as many singers singing
to
the
Lord
with
the
instruments,
which
he
had
made
to sing
with.
\VS{6}And
David distributed
them into courses
by
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Levi,
to wit,
of Gerson,
and
of Caath,
and
of
Merari.
\VS{7}The sons of Gerson were Leedan
and Semei.
\VS{8}The
sons
of Leedan:
the
chief Jahiel,
and Zethan,
and
Joel,
three.
\VS{9}The
sons
of Semei: Salomith,
and Hosiel,
and Aran,
three:
these
were
the
heads
of
the
families
of Leedan.
\VS{10}And
the
sons
of Semei
were Leheth,
and Ziza,
and Jaus,
and Baria:

were
the
sons
of Semei,
four.
\VS{11}And Leheth
was
the
first, Ziza
the
second:
but Jaus
and Baria
had
not
many
children,
and
therefore
they
were counted
in
one
family,
and
in
one
house.
\VS{12}The
sons
of Caath
were
Amram,
and Isaar,
Hebron,
and Oziel,
four.
\VS{13}The
sons
of
Amram,
Aaron,
and
Moses.
And
Aaron
was
separated
to
minister
in
the

and
his
sons
for
ever,
and
to
burn
incense
before
the

his ceremonies,
and
to
bless
his
name
for

\VS{14}The
sons
also
of
Moses,
the
man
of
God,
were numbered
in
the
tribe
of
Levi.
\VS{15}The
sons
of
Moses
were Gersom
and
Eliezer:
\VS{16}The
sons
of Gersom: Subuel
the
first.
\VS{17}And
the
sons
of
Eliezer
were: Rohobia
the
first:
and
Eliezer
had
no
more

But
the

of Rohobia
were

\VS{21}The

The

the

of Cis
their

took
them.
\VS{23}The
sons
of Musi: Moholi,

\VS{24}These

that
did
the
works
of
the
ministry
of
the

of
the
Lord
from
twenty
years
old

upward.
\VS{25}For
David
said:
The
Lord
the
God
of
Israel hath
given
rest
to
his
people,
and
a habitation
in
Jerusalem
for
ever.
\VS{26}And
it
shall
not
be
the
office
of
the
Levites
to
carry
any
more
the
tabernacle,
and
all
the
vessels
for
the
service thereof.
\VS{27}So according
to
the
last precepts
of
David,
the

of
Levi
are
to
be
numbered
from
twenty
years
old

upward.
\VS{28}And
they

Aaron
for

Lord,
in

of
purification,
and
in
the
sanctuary,
and
in
all
the
works
of
the
ministry
of
the
temple
of
the
Lord.
\VS{29}And
the priests
have
the charge
of
the leaves
of proposition,

of
the
sacrifice
of
fine
flour,
and
of
the
unleavened
cakes,
and
of
the fryingpan,
and
of
the roasting,
and
of
every weight
and
measure.
\VS{30}And
the Levites
are
to
stand
in
the
morning
to
give
thanks,
and
to sing
praises
to
the
Lord:
and
in
like
manner
in
the
evening,
\VS{31}As well
in
the oblation
of
the holocausts
of
the
Lord,
as
in
the
sabbaths
and
in
the
new
moons,
and
the rest
of
the solemnities,
according
to
the
number
and ceremonies
prescribed
for
every
thing,
continually
before
the
Lord.
\VS{32}And let
them
keep
the observances
of
the
tabernacle
of
the covenant,
and
the ceremonies
of
the
sanctuary,
and
the
charge
of
the
sons
of
Aaron
their

that
they
may minister
in
the
house
of

Lord.

\VS{16}Now
the chiefs
over

over
Dan, Ezrihel

princes
of
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{23}But
David
would
not
number
them
from
twenty
years
old
and
under:
because
the
Lord
had
said
that
he
would
multiply
Israel
like
the
stars
of
heaven.
\VS{24}Joab
the
son
of Sarvia
began
to
number,
but
he
finished
not:
because
upon
this
there
fell
wrath
upon
Israel:
and
therefore
the
number
of
them
that
were
numbered,
was
not registered
in
the
chronicles
of
king
David.
\VS{25}And
over
the

an Aphonite.
\VS{28}And
over
the oliveyards

the fig

which
were
in

All
these
were
the
rulers
of
the substance
of
king
David.
\VS{32}And
Jonathan
David’s
uncle,
a counsellor,
a wise
and
learned
man:
he
and Jahiel
the
son
of Hachamoni
were
with
the
king’s
sons.
\VS{33}And Achitophel
was
the
king’s counsellor,

the Arachite,
the
king’s

\VS{34}And
after Achitophel
was
Joiada
the
son
of Banaias,

Abiathar.
And
the
general
of
the
king’s
army
was
Joab.

\par }\Chap{28}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
assembled
all
the
chief
men
of
Israel,
the
princes
of
the
tribes,
and
the
captains
of
the companies,
who waited
on
the
king:

the
captains
over

them
who
had
the
charge
over
the

with
the
officers
of
the
court,
and
the
men
of
power,
and
all
the bravest
of
the
army
at
Jerusalem.
\VS{2}And
the
king
rising
up,
and standing
said:
Hear
me,
my
brethren
and
my
people:
I
had
a
thought
to
have
built
a
house,
in
which
the
ark
of
the
Lord,
and
the footstool
of
our
God
might
rest:
and
I
prepared all
things
for
the
building.
\VS{3}And
God
said
to
me: Thou shalt
not
build
a
house
to
my
name:
because thou art
a
man
of
war,
and hast
shed
blood.
\VS{4}But
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
chose
me
of
all
the
house
of
my
father,
to
be
king
over
Israel
for
ever:
for
of Juda
he
chose
the
princes:
and
of
the
house
of Juda,
my
father’s
house:
and
among
the
sons
of
my
father,
it
pleased
him
to
choose
me
king
over
all
Israel.
\VS{5}And
among
my
sons (for
the
Lord hath
given
me
many
sons)
he hath
chosen
Solomon
my
son,
to
sit
upon
the
throne
of
the
kingdom
of
the
Lord
over
Israel.
\VS{6}And
he
said
to
me:
Solomon thy
son
shall
build
my
house,
and
my courts:
for
I
have
chosen
him
to
be
my
son,
and
I
will
be
a
father
to
him.
\VS{7}And
I
will
establish
his
kingdom
for
ever,
if
he continue
to
keep
my
commandments,
and
my
judgments,
as
at
this
day.
\VS{8}Now
then
before
all
the
assembly
of
Israel,
in
the
hearing
of
our
God,
keep ye,
and
seek
all
the
commandments
of
the
Lord
our
God:
that
you
may
possess
the
good
land,
and
may
leave
it
to
your
children
after
you
for
ever.
\VS{9}And thou
my
son
Solomon,
know
the
God
of thy
father,
and
serve
him
with
a
perfect
heart,
and
a
willing
mind:
for
the
Lord searcheth
all
hearts,
and understandeth
all
the
thoughts
of
minds.
If thou
seek
him, thou shalt
find
him:
but
if thou
forsake
him,
he
will cast thee
off
for
ever.
\VS{10}Now
therefore
seeing
the
Lord hath
chosen thee
to
build
the
house
of
the
sanctuary,
take
courage,
and
do
it.
\VS{11}And
David
gave
to
Solomon
his
son
a description
of
the
porch,
and
of
the
temple,
and
of
the treasures,
and
of
the
upper floor,
and
of
the
inner
chambers,
and
of
the
house
for
the
mercy
seat,
\VS{12}As
also
of
all
the courts,
which
he
had
in
his thought,

of
the
chambers
round
about,
for
the

of
the
house
of
the
Lord,

for
the
treasures
of
the
consecrated
things,

of
the
divisions

the
priests

of
the
Levites,
for
all
the
works
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
and
for
all
the
vessels
of
the
service
of
the
temple
of
the
Lord.
\VS{14}Gold
by
weight
for
every
vessel
for
the
ministry.
And
silver
by
weight according
to
the diversity
of
the
vessels
and uses.
\VS{15}He gave also
gold
for
the
golden candlesticks,
and their
lamps, according
to
the dimensions
of every candlestick,
and
the
lamps thereof.
In
like manner also he gave
silver
by
weight
for
the
silver candlesticks,
and
for their
lamps according
to
the diversity
of
the dimensions
of them.
\VS{16}He gave
also
gold
for
the
tables
of proposition, according
to
the diversity
of
the
tables:
in
like manner
also
silver
for other
tables
of
silver.
\VS{17}For fleshhooks also,
and
bowls,
and censers
of
fine
gold,
and
for little lions
of
gold, according
to the measure he gave
by
weight,
for every lion.
In
like manner also
for lions
of
silver he set aside
a different
weight
of
silver.
\VS{18}And
for
the
altar
of
incense,
he gave
the purest
gold:
and
to make
the
likeness
of
the
chariot
of
the cherubims
spreading
their wings,
and covering
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
the
Lord.
\VS{19}All
these
things, said
he, came
to
me written
by
the
hand
of
the
Lord
that
I
might
understand
all
the
works
of
the
pattern.
\VS{20}And
David
said
to
Solomon
his
son:
Act
like
a
man,
and
take
courage,
and
do:
fear
not,
and
be
not
dismayed:
for
the
Lord
my
God
will
be
with thee,
and
will
not
leave thee,
nor
forsake thee,
till thou hast
finished
all
the
work
for
the
service
of
the
house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{21}Behold
the courses
of
the
priests
and
the
Levites,
for
every
ministry
of
the
house
of
the Lord, stand
by thee,
and
are ready,
and
both
the
princes,
and
the
people know
how
to execute
all thy
commandments.

\par }\Chap{29}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
king
David
said
to
all
the
assembly:
Solomon
my
son,
whom
alone
God hath
chosen,
is
as
yet
young
and
tender:
and
the
work
is
great,
for
a house
is prepared
not
for
man,
but
for
God.
\VS{2}And
I
with
all
my
ability
have
prepared
the expenses
for
the
house
of
my
God.
Gold
for vessels
of
gold,
and
silver
for vessels
of
silver,
brass
for
things
of
brass,
iron
for
things
of
iron,
wood

and
onyx
stones,
and
stones
like
alabaster,
and
of divers colours,
and
all manner
of
precious
stones,
and marble
of Paros
in
great
abundance.
\VS{3}Now
over
and
above
the
things
which
I
have
offered
into
the
house
of
my
God
I
give
of
my own proper goods,
gold
and
silver
for
the
temple
of
my
God, beside
what
things
I
have
prepared
for
the
holy
house.
\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
temple.
\VS{5}And
gold
for wheresoever
there
is need
of
gold:
and
silver
for wheresoever
there
is need
of
silver,
for
the
works
to
be
made
by
the
hands
of
the artificers:
now if
any
man
is
willing
to
offer, let
him
fill
his
hand
today,
and
offer
what
he pleaseth
to
the
Lord.
\VS{6}Then
the
heads
of
the
families,
and
the
princes
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
and
the
captains
of
thousands,
and
of
hundreds,
and
the
overseers
of
the
king’s possessions promised,
\VS{7}And
they
gave
for
the works
of
the
house
of
the Lord,
of
gold,
five
thousand
talents,
and
ten
thousand solids:
of
silver
ten
thousand
talents:
and
of
brass eighteen
thousand
talents:
and
of
iron
a
hundred
thousand
talents.
\VS{8}And all
they
that
had
stones,
gave
them
to
the
treasures
of
the
house
of
the
Lord,
by
the
hand
of Jahiel
the Gersonite.
\VS{9}And
the
people
rejoiced,
when
they
promised
their
offerings
willingly:
because
they
offered
them
to
the
Lord
with
all
their
heart:
and
David
the
king
rejoiced
also
with
a
great
joy.
\VS{10}And
he
blessed
the
Lord
before
all
the multitude,
and
he
said:
Blessed art thou,
O
Lord
the
God
of
Israel,
our
father
from
eternity
to
eternity.
\VS{11}Thine,
O
Lord,
is magnificence,
and
power,
and
glory,
and
victory:
and
to thee
is
praise:
for
all
that
is
in
heaven,
and
in
earth,
is thine: thine
is
the
kingdom,
O
Lord,
and thou art above
all princes.
\VS{12}Thine
are
riches,
and thine
is
glory, thou hast
dominion
over
all,
in thy
hand
is
power
and
might:
in thy
hand greatness,
and
the empire
of
all
things.
\VS{13}Now
therefore
our
God
we
give
thanks
to thee,
and
we
praise thy
glorious
name.
\VS{14}Who
am
I,
and
what
is
my
people,
that
we
should
be
able
to promise thee
all
these
things?
all
things
are thine:
and
we
have
given thee
what
we received
of thy
hand.
\VS{15}For
we
are
sojourners
before thee,
and
strangers,
as
were
all
our
fathers.
Our
days
upon
earth
are
as
a
shadow,
and
there
is
no stay.
\VS{16}O
Lord
our
God,
all
this store
that
we
have
prepared
to
build thee
a
house
for thy
holy
name,
is
from thy
hand,
and
all
things
are thine.
\VS{17}I
know
my
God
that thou provest
hearts,
and lovest simplicity, wherefore
I
also
in
the simplicity
of
my
heart,
have
joyfully
offered
all
these
things:
and
I
have
seen
with
great
joy thy
people,
which
are
here
present,
offer thee
their
offerings.
\VS{18}O
Lord
God
of
Abraham,
and
of
Isaac,
and
of
Israel
our
fathers,
keep
for
ever
this
will
of
their
heart,
and let
this
mind
remain
always
for
the
worship
of thee.
\VS{19}And
give
to
Solomon
my
son
a
perfect
heart,
that
he
may
keep thy
commandments, thy
testimonies,
and thy ceremonies,
and
do
all
things:
and
build
the house,
for
which
I
have
provided
the charges.
\VS{20}And
David
commanded
all
the
assembly:
Bless ye
the
Lord
our
God.
And
all
the
assembly
blessed
the
Lord
the
God
of
their
fathers:
and
they
bowed
themselves
and worshipped
God,
and
then
the
king.
\VS{21}And
they
sacrificed victims
to
the
Lord:
and
they
offered holocausts
the
next
day,
a
thousand bullocks,
a
thousand
rams,
a
thousand
lambs,
with
their libations,
and
with
every
thing prescribed most
abundantly
for
all
Israel.
\VS{22}And
they
ate,
and
drank
before
the
Lord
that
day
with
great
joy.
And
they
anointed
the
second
time
Solomon
the
son
of
David.
And
they
anointed
him
to
the
Lord
to
be
prince,
and Sadoc
to
be
high
priest.
\VS{23}And
Solomon
sat
on
the
throne
of
the
Lord
as
king
instead
of
David
his
father,
and
he pleased
all:
and
all
Israel
obeyed
him.
\VS{24}And
all
the
princes,
and
men
of
power,
and
all
the
sons
of
king
David
gave
their
hand,
and
were subject
to
Solomon
the
king.
\VS{25}And
the
Lord
magnified
Solomon
over
all
Israel:
and
gave
him
the
glory
of
a
reign,
such
as
no
king
of
Israel
had
before
him.
\VS{26}So
David
the
son
of Isai
reigned
over
all
Israel.
\VS{27}And
the
days
that
he
reigned
over
Israel,
were
forty
years:
in
Hebron
he
reigned
seven
years,
and
in
Jerusalem
three
and
thirty
years.
\VS{28}And
he
died
in
a
good
age,
full
of
days,
and
riches,
and
glory.
And
Solomon
his
son
reigned
in
his
stead.
\VS{29}Now
the
acts
of
king
David
first
and
last
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}And
of
all
his
reign,
and
his valour,
and
of
the
times
that
passed
under
him,
either
in
Israel,
or
in
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
countries.
