put their trust in him. |
5:21: And they took away their cattle; of
their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and
of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand. |
5:22: For there fell down many slain, because
the war was of God. And they dwelt in
their steads until the captivity. |

the chief; |
9:18: Who hitherto waited in

Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house

children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the
house of the tabernacle, by wards. |
9:24: In four quarters were the
porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. |
9:25: And their brethren, which
were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with

four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and
treasuries of the house of God. |
9:27: And they lodged round
about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening
thereof every morning pertained to them. |

the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out
by tale. |

it every sabbath. |
9:33: And these are the
singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers
were free: for they were employed in that work day and night. |
9:34: These chief fathers of
the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at
Jerusalem. |

9:44: And Azel had six sons,
whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and
Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel. |
10:1: Now the Philistines
fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the
Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. |
10:2: And the Philistines
followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew
Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. |
10:3: And the battle went sore
against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers. |
10:4: Then said Saul to his
armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these
uncircumcised come and abuse me. But
his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. |
10:5: And when his armourbearer
saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. |
10:6: So Saul died, and his
three sons, and all his house died together. |
10:7: And when all the men of
Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons
were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came
and dwelt in them. |
10:8: And it came to pass on
the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found
Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. |
10:9: And when they had
stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of
the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the
people. |
10:10: And they put his armour
in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. |
10:11: And when all
Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, |
10:12: They arose, all the
valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and
brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and
fasted seven days. |
10:13: So Saul died for his
transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of
the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a
familiar spirit, to enquire of it; |
10:14: And enquired not of the
LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of
Jesse. |
11:1: Then all Israel gathered
themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy
flesh. |
11:2: And moreover in time
past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest
in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people
Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel, and thou shalt be
ruler over my people Israel. |
11:3: Therefore came all the
elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them
in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel,
according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. |
11:4: And David and all Israel
went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants
of the land. |
11:5: And the inhabitants of
Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion,
which is the city of David. |
11:6: And David said, Whosoever
smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up,
and was chief. |
11:7: And David dwelt in the
castle; therefore they called it the city of David. |
11:8: And he built the city
round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the
city. |
11:9: So David waxed greater
and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him. |
11:10: These also are the chief
of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his
kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the
LORD concerning Israel. |
11:11: And this is the number
of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, and Hachmonite, the chief of the
captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one
time. |
11:12: And after him was
Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties. |
11:13: He was with David at
Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where
was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the
Philistines. |
11:14: And they set themselves
in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and
the LORD saved them by a great deliverance. |
11:15: Now three of the thirty
captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the
host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. |
11:16: And David was then in
the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem. |
11:17: And David longed, and
said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem,
that is at the gate! |
11:18: And the three brake
through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of
Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but
David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD, |
11:19: And said, My God forbid
it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that
have put their lives in jeopardy? for
with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest. |
11:20: And Abishai the brother
of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three
hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three. |
11:21: Of the three, he was
more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained
not to the first three. |
11:22: Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he
slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in
a snowy day. |
11:23: And he slew an Egyptian,
a man of great 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. |
11:24: These things did Benaiah
the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties. |
11:25: Behold, he was
honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David
set him over his guard. |
11:26: Also the valiant men of

11:47: Eliel, and Obed, and

12:1: Now these are they that
came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the
son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war. |
12:2: They were armed with
bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and
shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin. |
12:3: The chief was Ahiezer,
then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the
sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite, |

12:8: And of the Gadites there
separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might,
and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler,
whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon
the mountains; |
12:9: Ezer the first, Obadiah

12:13: Jeremiah the tenth,

12:14: These were of the sons
of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the
greatest over a thousand. |
12:15: These are they that went
over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they
put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the
west. |
12:16: And there came of the
children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David. |
12:17: And David went out to
meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me
to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me
to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our
fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. |
12:18: Then the spirit came
upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David,
and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be
to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee.
Then David received them, and made them captains of the band. |
12:19: And there fell some of
Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle:
but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement
sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our
heads. |
12:20: As he went to Ziklag,
there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael,
and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of
Manasseh. |
12:21: And they helped David
against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and
were captains in the host. |
12:22: For at that time day by
day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host
of God. |
12:23: And these are the
numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to
Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the
LORD. |
12:24: The children of Judah
that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed
to the war. |
12:25: Of the children of
Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred. |
12:26: Of the children of Levi
four thousand and six hundred. |
12:27: And Jehoiada was the
leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred; |
12:28: And Zadok, a young man
mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains. |
12:29: And of the children of
Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part
of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul. |
12:30: And of the children of
Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous
throughout the house of their fathers. |
12:31: And of the half tribe of
Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make
David king. |
12:32: And of the children of
Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what
Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their
brethren were at their commandment. |
12:33: Of Zebulun, such as went
forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand,
which could keep rank: they were not of double heart. |
12:34: And of Naphtali a
thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven
thousand. |
12:35: And of the Danites
expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred. |
12:36: And of Asher, such as
went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand. |
12:37: And on the other side of
Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh,
with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty
thousand. |
12:38: All these men of war,
that could keep rank, 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. |
12:39: And there they were with
David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for
them. |
12:40: Moreover they that were
nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on
asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of
figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly:
for there was joy in Israel. |
13:1: And David consulted with
the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. |
13:2: And David said unto all
the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the
LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left
in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites
which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto
us: |
13:3: And let us bring again
the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. |
13:4: And all the congregation
said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the
people. |
13:5: So David gathered all
Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hamath, to
bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim. |
13:6: And David went up, and
all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah,
to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the
cherubims, whose name is called on it. |
13:7: And they carried the ark
of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave
the cart. |
13:8: And David and all Israel
played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and
with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. |
13:9: And when they came unto
the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for
the oxen stumbled. |
13:10: And the anger of the
LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to
the ark: and there he died before God. |
13:11: And David was
displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that
place is called Perez-uzza to this day. |
13:12: And David was afraid of
God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? |
13:13: So David brought not the
ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house
of Obed-edom the Gittite. |
13:14: And the ark of God
remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of
Obed-edom, and all that he had. |
14:1: Now Hiram king of Tyre
sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters,
to build him an house. |
14:2: And David perceived that
the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on
high, because of his people Israel. |
14:3: And David took more wives
at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters. |
14:4: Now these are the names
of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and
Solomon, |
14:5: And Ibhar, and Elishua,
and Elpalet, |
14:6: And Nogah, and Nepheg,
and Japhia, |
14:7: And Elishama, and
Beeliada, and Eliphalet. |
14:8: And when the Philistines
heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went
up to seek David. And David heard of
it, and went out against them. |
14:9: And the Philistines came
and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. |
14:10: And David enquired of
God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine
hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go
up; for I will deliver them into thine hand. |
14:11: So they came up to
Baal-perazim; and David smote them there.
Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand
like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that
place Baal-perazim. |
14:12: And when they had left
their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire. |
14:13: And the Philistines yet
again spread themselves abroad in the valley. |
14:14: Therefore David enquired
again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from
them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. |
14:15: And it shall be, when
thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then
thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the
host of the Philistines. |
14:16: David therefore did as
God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon
even to Gazer. |
14:17: And the fame of David
went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all
nations. |
15:1: And David made him houses
in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched
for it a tent. |
15:2: Then David said, None
ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen
to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever. |
15:3: And David gathered all
Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place,
which he had prepared for it. |
15:4: And David assembled the
children of Aaron, and the Levites: |
15:5: Of the sons of Kohath;
Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty: |
15:6: Of the sons of Merari;
Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty: |
15:7: Of the sons of Gershom;
Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty: |
15:8: Of the sons of Elizaphan;
Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred: |
15:9: Of the sons of Hebron;
Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore: |
15:10: Of the sons of Uzziel;
Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve. |
15:11: And David called for
Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and
Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, |
15:12: And said unto them, Ye
are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and
your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto
the place that I have prepared for it. |
15:13: For because ye did it
not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought
him not after the due order. |
15:14: So the priests and the
Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel. |
15:15: And the children of the
Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as
Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD. |
15:16: And David spake to the
chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments
of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the
voice with joy. |
15:17: So the Levites appointed
Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and
of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; |
15:18: And with them their
brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth,
and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters. |
15:19: So the singers, Heman,
Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass; |
15:20: And Zechariah, and
Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and
Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth; |
15:21: And Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on
the Sheminith to excel. |
15:22: And Chenaniah, chief of
the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was
skilful. |
15:23: And Berechiah and
Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. |
15:24: And Shebaniah, and
Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and
Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and
Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. |
15:25: So David, and the elders
of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the
covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obed-edom with joy. |
15:26: And it came to pass,
when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD,
that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams. |
15:27: And David was clothed
with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the
singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also
had upon him an ephod of linen. |
15:28: Thus all Israel brought
up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the
cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries
and harps. |
15:29: And it came to pass, as
the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the
daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing:
and she despised him in her heart. |
16:1: So they brought the ark
of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it:
and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God. |
16:2: And when David had made
an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed
the people in the name of the LORD. |
16:3: And he dealt to every one
of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece
of flesh, and a flagon of wine. |
16:4: And he appointed certain
of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to
thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: |
16:5: Asaph the chief, and next
to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and
Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps;
but Asaph made a sound with cymbals; |
16:6: Benaiah also and Jahaziel
the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. |
16:7: Then on that day David
delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his
brethren. |
16:8: Give thanks unto the
LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. |
16:9: Sing unto him, sing psalms
unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. |
16:10: Glory ye in his holy
name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. |
16:11: Seek the LORD and his
strength, seek his face continually. |
16:12: Remember his marvellous
works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; |
16:13: O ye seed of Israel his
servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
16:14: He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth. |
16:15: Be ye mindful always of
his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; |
16:16: Even of the covenant
which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; |
16:17: And hath confirmed the
same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, |
16:18: Saying, Unto thee will I
give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; |
16:19: When ye were but few,
even a few, and strangers in it. |
16:20: And when they went from
nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; |
16:21: He suffered no man to do
them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, |
16:22: Saying, Touch not mine
anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |
16:23: Sing unto the LORD, all
the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. |
16:24: Declare his glory among
the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. |
16:25: For great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. |
16:26: For all the gods of the
people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. |
16:27: Glory and honour are in
his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. |
16:28: Give unto the LORD, ye
kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. |
16:29: Give unto the LORD the
glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the
LORD in the beauty of holiness. |
16:30: Fear before him, all the
earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. |
16:31: Let the heavens be glad,
and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD
reigneth. |
16:32: Let the sea roar, and
the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. |
16:33: Then shall the trees of
the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the
earth. |
16:34: O give thanks unto the LORD;
for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. |
16:35: And say ye, Save us, O
God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the
heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. |
16:36: Blessed be the LORD God
of Israel for ever and ever. And all
the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD. |
16:37: So he left there before
the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister
before the ark continually, as every day's work required: |
16:38: And Obed-edom with their
brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah
to be porters: |
16:39: And Zadok the priest,
and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high
place that was at Gibeon, |
16:40: To offer burnt offerings
unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and
evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD,
which he commanded Israel; |
16:41: And with them Heman and
Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give
thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever; |
16:42: And with them Heman and
Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and
with musical instruments of God. And
the sons of Jeduthun were porters. |
16:43: And all the people
departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house. |
17:1: Now it came to pass, as
David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in
an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under
curtains. |
17:2: Then Nathan said unto
David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee. |
17:3: And it came to pass the
same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, |
17:4: Go and tell David my
servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in: |
17:5: For I have not dwelt in
an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone
from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. |
17:6: Wheresoever I have walked
with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I
commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of
cedars? |
17:7: Now therefore thus shalt
thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee
from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be
ruler over my people Israel: |
17:8: And I have been with thee
whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from
before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that
are in the earth. |
17:9: Also I will ordain a
place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in
their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness
waste them any more, as at the beginning, |
17:10: And since the time that
I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine
enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that
the LORD will build thee an house. |
17:11: And it shall come to
pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that
I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will
establish his kingdom. |
17:12: He shall build me an
house, and I will stablish his throne for ever. |
17:13: I will be his father,
and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took
it from him that was before thee: |
17:14: But I will settle him in
mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established
for evermore. |
17:15: According to all these
words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. |
17:16: And David the king came
and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine
house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? |
17:17: And yet this was a small
thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house
for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a
man of high degree, O LORD God. |
17:18: What can David speak
more to thee for the honour of thy servant?
for thou knowest thy servant. |
17:19: O LORD, for thy
servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this
greatness, in making known all these great things. |
17:20: O LORD, there is none
like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we
have heard with our ears. |
17:21: And what one nation in
the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own
people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out
nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? |
17:22: For thy people Israel
didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their
God. |
17:23: Therefore now, LORD, let
the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his
house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. |
17:24: Let it even be
established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of
hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David
thy servant be established before thee. |
17:25: For thou, O my God, hast
told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant
hath found in his heart to pray before thee. |
17:26: And now, LORD, thou art
God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: |
17:27: Now therefore let it
please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for
ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever. |
18:1: Now after this it came to
pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and
her towns out of the hand of the Philistines. |
18:2: And he smote Moab; and
the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts. |
18:3: And David smote Hadarezer
king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river
Euphrates. |
18:4: And David took from him a
thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen:
David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred
chariots. |
18:5: And when the Syrians of
Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two
and twenty thousand men. |
18:6: Then David put garrisons
in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought
gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David
whithersoever he went. |
18:7: And David took the
shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to
Jerusalem. |
18:8: Likewise from Tibhath,
and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith
Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. |
18:9: Now when Tou king of
Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah; |
18:10: He sent Hadoram his son
to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he
had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with
Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. |
18:11: Them also king David
dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from
all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon,
and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. |
18:12: Moreover Abishai the son
of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand. |
18:13: And he put garrisons in
Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever
he went. |
18:14: So David reigned over
all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. |
18:15: And Joab the son Zeruiah
was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder. |
18:16: And Zadok the son of
Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was
scribe; |
18:17: And Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David
were chief about the king. |
19:1: Now it came to pass after
this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned
in his stead. |
19:2: And David said, I will
shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed
kindness to me. And David sent
messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land
of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him. |
19:3: But the princes of the
children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy
father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to
search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land? |
19:4: Wherefore Hanun took
David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst
hard by their buttocks, and sent them away. |
19:5: Then there went certain,
and told David how the men were served.
And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until
your beards be grown, and then return. |
19:6: And when the children of
Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the
children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and
horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah. |
19:7: So they hired thirty and
two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and
pitched before Medeba. And the
children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to
battle. |
19:8: And when David heard of
it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. |
19:9: And the children of Ammon
came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the
kings that were come were by themselves in the field. |
19:10: Now when Joab saw that
the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the
choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. |
19:11: And the rest of the
people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set
themselves in array against the children of Ammon. |
19:12: And he said, If the
Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of
Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee. |
19:13: Be of good courage, and
let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our
God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight. |
19:14: So Joab and the people
that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they
fled before him. |
19:15: And when the children of
Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his
brother, and entered into the city.
Then Joab came to Jerusalem. |
19:16: And when the Syrians saw
that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew
forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the
host of Hadarezer went before them. |
19:17: And it was told David;
and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and
set the battle in array against them.
So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they
fought with him. |
19:18: But the Syrians fled
before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought
in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of
the host. |
19:19: And when the servants of
Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace
with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the
children of Ammon any more. |
20:1: And it came to pass, that
after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led
forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon,
and came and besieged Rabbah. But
David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab
smote Rabbah, and destroyed it. |
20:2: And David took the crown
of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and
there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he
brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city. |
20:3: And he brought out the
people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and
with axes. Even so dealt David with
all the cities of the children of Ammon.
And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. |
20:4: And it came to pass after
this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time
Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant:
and they were subdued. |
20:5: And there was war again
with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of
Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam. |
20:6: And yet again there was
war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were
four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the
son of the giant. |
20:7: But when he defied
Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him. |
20:8: These were born unto the
giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his
servants. |
21:1: And Satan stood up
against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. |
21:2: And David said to Joab
and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to
Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. |
21:3: And Joab answered, The
LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord
the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this
thing? why will he be a cause of
trespass to Israel? |
21:4: Nevertheless the king's
word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore
Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. |
21:5: And Joab gave the sum of
the number of the people unto David.
And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred
thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten
thousand men that drew sword. |
21:6: But Levi and Benjamin
counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab. |
21:7: And God was displeased
with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. |
21:8: And David said unto God,
I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech
thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. |
21:9: And the LORD spake unto
Gad, David's seer, saying, |
21:10: Go and tell David,
saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of
them, that I may do it unto thee. |
21:11: So Gad came to David,
and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee |
21:12: Either three years'
famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword
of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD,
even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying
throughout all the coasts of Israel.
Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that
sent me. |
21:13: And David said unto Gad,
I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very
great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man. |
21:14: So the LORD sent
pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. |
21:15: And God sent an angel
unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and
he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is
enough, stay now thine hand. And the
angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. |
21:16: And David lifted up his
eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven,
having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who
were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. |
21:17: And David said unto God,
Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil
indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God,
be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should
be plagued. |
21:18: Then the angel of the
LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an
altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. |
21:19: And David went up at the
saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD. |
21:20: And Ornan turned back,
and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. |
21:21: And as David came to
Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and
bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. |
21:22: Then David said to
Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar
therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the
plague may be stayed from the people. |
21:23: And Ornan said unto
David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his
eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing
instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. |
21:24: And king David said to
Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take
that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost. |
21:25: So David gave to Ornan
for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. |
21:26: And David built there an
altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and
called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar
of burnt offering. |
21:27: And the LORD commanded
the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. |
21:28: At that time when David
saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the
Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. |
21:29: For the tabernacle of
the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt
offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. |
21:30: But David could not go
before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the
angel of the LORD. |
22:1: Then David said, This is
the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for
Israel. |
22:2: And David commanded to
gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set
masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God. |
22:3: And David prepared iron
in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings;
and brass in abundance without weight; |
22:4: Also cedar trees in
abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to
David. |
22:5: And David said, Solomon
my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD
must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries:
I will therefore now make preparation for it.
So David prepared abundantly before his death. |
22:6: Then he called for
Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel. |
22:7: And David said to
Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name
of the LORD my God: |
22:8: But the word of the LORD
came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great
wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much
blood upon the earth in my sight. |
22:9: Behold, a son shall be
born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all
his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace
and quietness unto Israel in his days. |
22:10: He shall build an house
for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will
establish throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. |
22:11: Now, my son, the LORD be
with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he
hath said of thee. |
22:12: Only the LORD give thee
wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou
mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God. |
22:13: Then shalt thou prosper,
if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD
charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread
not, nor be dismayed. |
22:14: Now, behold, in my
trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents
of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron
without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I
prepared; and thou mayest add thereto. |
22:15: Moreover there are
workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and
all manner of cunning men for every manner of work. |
22:16: Of the gold, the silver,
and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD
be with thee. |
22:17: David also commanded all
the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, |
22:18: Is not the LORD your God
with you? and hath he not given you
rest on every side? for he hath given
the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before
the LORD, and before his people. |
22:19: Now set your heart and
your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the
sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and
the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of
the LORD. |
23:1: So when David was old and
full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel |
23:2: And he gathered together
all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. |
23:3: Now the Levites were numbered
from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man
by man, was thirty and eight thousand. |
23:4: Of which, twenty and four
thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six
thousand were officers and judges: |
23:5: Moreover four thousand
were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I
made, said David, to praise therewith. |
23:6: And David divided them
into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. |
23:7: Of the Gershonites were,
Laadan, and Shimei. |
23:8: The sons of Laadan; the
chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. |
23:9: The sons of Shimei;
Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three.
These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan. |
23:10: And the sons of Shimei
were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah.
These four were the sons of Shimei. |
23:11: And Jahath was the
chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons;
therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house. |
23:12: The sons of Kohath;
Amram, Ishar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. |
23:13: The sons of Amram; Aaron
and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy
things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to
minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever. |
23:14: Now concerning Moses the
man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. |
23:15: The sons of Moses were,
Gershom, and Eliezer. |
23:16: Of the sons of Gershom,
Shebuel was the chief. |
23:17: And the sons of Eliezer
were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer
had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. |
23:18: Of the sons of Izhar;
Shelomith the chief. |
23:19: Of the sons of Hebron;
Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the
fourth. |
23:20: Of the sons of Uzziel;
Michah the first, and Jesiah the second. |
23:21: The sons of Merari;
Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli;
Eleazar, and Kish. |
23:22: And Eleazar died, and
had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them. |
23:23: The sons of Mushi;
Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. |
23:24: These were the sons of
Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they
were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the
service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward. |
23:25: For David said, The LORD
God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in
Jerusalem for ever: |
23:26: And also unto the
Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for
the service thereof. |
23:27: For by the last words of
David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above: |
23:28: Because their office was
to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the
courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the
work of the service of the house of God; |
23:29: Both for the shewbread,
and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and
for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all
manner of measure and size; |
23:30: And to stand every
morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even; |
23:31: And to offer all burnt
sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set
feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually
before the LORD: |
23:32: And that they should
keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy
place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of
the house of the LORD. |
24:1: Now these are the
divisions of the sons of Aaron. The
sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. |
24:2: But Nadab and Abihu died
before their father, and had no children: therefore Elezar and Ithamar
executed the priest's office. |
24:3: And David distributed
them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of
Ithamar, according to their offices in their service. |
24:4: And there were more chief
men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were
they divided. Among the sons of
Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight
among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers. |
24:5: Thus were they divided by
lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors
of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
|
24:6: And Shemaiah the son of
Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the
princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before
the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household
being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar. |
24:7: Now the first lot came
forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, |
24:8: The third to Harim, the
fourth to Seorim, |
24:9: The fifth to Malchijah,
the sixth to Mijamin, |
24:10: The seventh to Hakkoz,
the eighth to Abijah, |
24:11: The ninth to Jeshua, the
tenth to Shecaniah, |
24:12: The eleventh to
Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, |
24:13: The thirteenth to
Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, |
24:14: The fifteenth to Bilgah,
the sixteenth to Immer, |
24:15: The seventeenth to
Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, |
24:16: The nineteenth to
Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel, |
24:17: The one and twentieth to
Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul, |
24:18: The three and twentieth
to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah. |
24:19: These were the orderings
of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to
their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had
commanded him. |
24:20: And the rest of the sons
of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael;
Jehdeiah. |
24:21: Concerning Rehabiah: of
the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah. |
24:22: Of the Izharites;
Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath. |
24:23: And the sons of Hebron;
Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the
fourth. |
24:24: Of the sons of Uzziel;
Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir. |
24:25: The brother of Michah
was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah. |
24:26: The sons of Merari were
Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno. |
24:27: The sons of Merari by
Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri. |
24:28: Of Mahli came Eleazar,
who had no sons. |
24:29: Concerning Kish: the son
of Kish was Jerahmeel. |
24:30: The sons also of Mushi;
Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These
were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers. |
24:31: These likewise cast lots
over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the
king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests
and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren. |
25:1: Moreover David and the
captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of
Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and
with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was: |
25:2: Of the sons of Asaph;
Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the
hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king. |
25:3: Of Jeduthun: the sons of
Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six,
under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give
thanks and to praise the LORD. |
25:4: Of Heman: the sons of
Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani,
Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and
Mahazioth: |
25:5: All these were the sons
of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and
three daughters. |
25:6: All these were under the
hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals,
psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the
king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. |
25:7: So the number of them,
with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all
that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight. |
25:8: And they cast lots, ward
against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar. |
25:9: Now the first lot came
forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and
sons were twelve: |
25:10: The third to Zaccur, he,
his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:11: The fourth to Izri, he,
his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:12: The fifth to Nethaniah,
he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:13: The sixth to Bukkiah,
he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:14: The seventh to Jesharelah,
he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:15: The eighth to Jeshaiah,
he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:16: The ninth to Mattaniah,
he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:17: The tenth to Shimei, he,
his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:18: The eleventh to Azareel,
he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:19: The twelfth to
Hashabiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:20: The thirteenth to
Shubael, he, his sons, and his brethren, were twelve: |
25:21: The fourteenth to

26:9: And Meshelemiah had sons
and brethren, strong men, eighteen. |

26:11: Hilkiah the second,
Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah
were thirteen. |
26:12: Among these were the
divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against
another, to minister in the house of the LORD. |
26:13: And they cast lots, as
well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for
every gate. |
26:14: And the lot eastward
fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah
his son, a wise counseller, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. |

26:25: And his brethren by

Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. |
26:26: Which Shelomith and his
brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the
king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and
the captains of the host, had dedicated. |
26:27: Out of the spoils won in
battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD. |
26:28: And all that Samuel the
seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of
Zeruiah, had dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under
the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren. |
26:29: Of the Izharites,
Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for
officers and judges. |
26:30: And of the Hebronites,

business of the LORD, and in the service of the king. |
26:31: Among the Hebronites was

his fathers. In the fortieth year of
the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them
mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead. |
26:32: And his brethren, men of
valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David
made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king. |
27:1: Now the children of
Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of
thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter
of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the
months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand. |

27:17: Of the Levites,

27:22: Of Dan, Azareel the son
of Jeroham. These were the princes of
the tribes of Israel. |
27:23: But David took not the
number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he
would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens. |
27:24: Joab the son of Zeruiah
began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against
Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king
David. |
27:25: And over the king's
treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the
fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was
Jehonathan the son of Uzziah: |
27:26: And over them that did
the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub: |
27:27: And over the vineyards
was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine
cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: |
27:28: And over the olive trees
and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was Baal-hanan the
Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: |
27:29: And over the herds that
fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the
valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: |
27:30: Over the camels also was
Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: |
27:31: And over the flocks was
Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the
rulers of the substance which was king David's. |
27:32: Also Jonathan David's
uncle was a counseller, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of
Hachmoni was with the king's sons: |
27:33: And Ahithophel was the
king's counseller: and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion: |
27:34: And after Ahithophel was
Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army
was Joab. |
28:1: And David assembled all
the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the
companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the
thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the
substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and
with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem. |
28:2: Then David the king stood
up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I
had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of
the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the
building: |
28:3: But God said unto me,
Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of
war, and hast shed blood. |
28:4: Howbeit the LORD God of
Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for
ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah,
the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make
me king over all Israel: |
28:5: And of all 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. |
28:6: And he said unto 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. |
28:7: Moreover I will establish
his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my
judgments, as at this day. |
28:8: Now therefore in the
sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our
God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may
possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children
after you for ever. |
28:9: And thou, Solomon my son,
know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with
a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the
imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but
if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. |
28:10: Take heed now; for the
LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do
it. |
28:11: Then David gave to
Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of
the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner
parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat, |
28:12: And the pattern of all
that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all
the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the
treasuries of the dedicated things: |
28:13: Also for the courses of
the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house
of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD. |
28:14: He gave of gold by
weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service;
silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of
every kind of service: |
28:15: Even the weight for the
candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every
candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by
weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according
to the use of every candlestick. |
28:16: And by weight he gave
gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for
the tables of silver: |
28:17: Also pure gold for the
fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave
gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason
of silver: |
28:18: And for the altar of
incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of
the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the
covenant of the LORD. |
28:19: All this, said David,
the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the
works of this pattern. |
28:20: And David said to
Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be
dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service
of the house of the LORD. |
28:21: And, behold, the courses
of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the
service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of
workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the
princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment. |
29:1: Furthermore David the
king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath
chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not
for man, but for the LORD God. |
29:2: Now I have prepared with
all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold,
and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the
iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones
to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of
precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. |
29:3: Moreover, because I have
set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of
gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above
all that I have prepared for the holy house, |
29:4: Even three thousand
talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined
silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal: |
29:5: The gold for things of
gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be
made by the hands of artificers. And
who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? |
29:6: Then the chief of the
fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands
and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly, |
29:7: And gave for the service
of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and
of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and
one hundred thousand talents of iron. |
29:8: And they with whom
precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the
LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. |
29:9: Then the people rejoiced,
for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered
willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. |
29:10: Wherefore David blessed
the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD
God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. |
29:11: Thine, O LORD, is the
greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty:
for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the
kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. |
29:12: Both riches and honour
come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and
might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. |
29:13: Now therefore, our God,
we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. |
29:14: But who am I, and what
is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this
sort? for all things come of thee, and
of thine own have we given thee. |
29:15: For we are strangers
before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth
are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. |
29:16: O LORD our God, all this store that we
have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine
hand, and is all thine own. |
29:17: I know also, my God, that thou triest
the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness.
As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered
all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present
here, to offer willingly unto thee. |
29:18: O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of
Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of
the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee: |
29:19: And give unto Solomon my son a perfect
heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do
all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made
provision. |
29:20: And David said to all the
congregation, Now bless the LORD your God.
And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers,
and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king. |
29:21: And they sacrificed
sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the
morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a
thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for
all Israel: |
29:22: And did eat and drink before the LORD
on that day with great gladness. And
they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him
unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest. |
29:23: Then Solomon sat on the throne of the
LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all |
29:24: And all the princes, and the mighty
men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto
Solomon the king. |
29:25: And the LORD magnified Solomon
exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal
majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel. |
29:26: Thus David the son of Jesse reigned
over all Israel. |
29:27: And the time that he reigned over
Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and
three years reigned he in Jerusalem. |
29:28: And he died in a good old age, full of
days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. |
29:29: Now 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, |
29:30: With all his reign and his might, and
the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of
the countries. |
