And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of
the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. |
| 4:40: |
And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and
quiet, and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old. |
| 4:41: |
And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,
and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and
destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because
there was pasture there for their flocks. |
| 4:42: |
And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went

| 4:43: |
And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and
dwelt there unto this day. |
|
|
| 5:1: |
Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the
firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his
birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the
genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. |
| 5:2: |
For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief
ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:) |
| 5:3: |
The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hannoch, and
Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. |

| 5:8: |
And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who
dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon: |
| 5:9: |
And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from
the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of
Gilead. |
| 5:10: |
And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by
their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of
Gilead. |
| 5:11: |
And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of
Bashan unto Salchah: |
| 5:12: |
Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in
Bashan. |
| 5:13: |
And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and

fathers. |
| 5:16: |
And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the
suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders. |
| 5:17: |
All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of
Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. |
| 5:18: |
The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh,
of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with
bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and
threescore, that went out to the war. |
| 5:19: |
And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and
Nodab. |
| 5:20: |
And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered
into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in
the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they 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. |

| 9:30: |
And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the
spices. |
| 9:31: |
And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum
the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the
pans. |
| 9:32: |
And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over
the shewbread, to prepare 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. |
| 9:35: |
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's
name was Maachah: |
| 9:36: |
And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner,
and Nadab, |
| 9:37: |
And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth. |
| 9:38: |
And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at
Jerusalem, over against their brethren. |
| 9:39: |
And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and
Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal. |
| 9:40: |
And the son of Jonathan was Merib-baal: and Merib-baal begat
Micah. |
| 9:41: |
And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and
Ahaz. |
| 9:42: |
And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and
Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza; |
| 9:43: |
And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his
son. |
| 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 arc 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 the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab,
Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, |
| 11:27: |
Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite, |
| 11:28: |
Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abi-ezer the Antothite, |
| 11:29: |
Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite, |
| 11:30: |
Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the
Netophathite, |
| 11:31: |
Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of
Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite, |
| 11:32: |
Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite, |
| 11:33: |
Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite, |
| 11:34: |
The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the
Hararite, |
| 11:35: |
Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur, |
| 11:36: |
Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite, |
| 11:37: |
Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai, |
| 11:38: |
Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri, |
| 11:39: |
Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab
the son of Zeruiah, |
| 11:40: |
Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, |
| 11:41: |
Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai, |
| 11:42: |
Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites,
and thirty with him, |
| 11:43: |
Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite, |
| 11:44: |
Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the
Aroerite, |
| 11:45: |
Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite, |
| 11:46: |
Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam,
and Ithmah the Moabite, |
| 11:47: |
Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite. |
|
|
| 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, |
| 12:4: |
And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over
the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the
Gederathite, |
| 12:5: |
Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the
Haruphite, |
| 12:6: |
Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the
Korhites, |
| 12:7: |
And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. |
| 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 the second, Eliab the third, |
| 12:10: |
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, |
| 12:11: |
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, |
| 12:12: |
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, |
| 12:13: |
Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh. |
| 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, |
