They also lived with + their brothers in Jerusalem, over against their brothers. +009:039 Ner became the father of Kish; and Kish became the father of Saul; + and Saul became the father of Jonathan, and Malchishua, + and Abinadab, and Eshbaal. +009:040 The son of Jonathan was Merib Baal; and Merib Baal became + the father of Micah. +009:041 The sons of Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, [and Ahaz]. +009:042 Ahaz became the father of Jarah; and Jarah became the father + of Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri became + the father of Moza; +009:043 and Moza became the father of Binea; and Rephaiah his son, + Eleasah his son, Azel his son. +009:044 Azel had six sons, whose names are these: Azrikam, Bocheru, + and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: + these were the sons of Azel. +010:001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of + Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain + on Mount Gilboa. +010:002 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; + and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, + the sons of Saul. +010:003 The battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; + and he was distressed by reason of the archers. +010:004 Then said Saul to his armor bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me + through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. + But his armor bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. + Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it. +010:005 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell + on his sword, and died. +010:006 So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together. +010:007 When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, + and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, + and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them. +010:008 It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came + to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen + on Mount Gilboa. +010:009 They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, + and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, + to carry the news to their idols, and to the people. +010:010 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened + his head in the house of Dagon. +010:011 When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had + done to Saul, +010:012 all the valiant men arose, 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. +010:013 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, + because of the word of Yahweh, which he didn't keep; and also + because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, + to inquire [thereby], +010:014 and didn't inquire of Yahweh: therefore he killed him, + and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse. +011:001 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, + saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. +011:002 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led + out and brought in Israel: and Yahweh your God said to you, + You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall + be prince over my people Israel. +011:003 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; + and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; + and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word + of Yahweh by Samuel. +011:004 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); + and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. +011:005 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come in here. + Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is + the city of David. +011:006 David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be + chief and captain. Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, + and was made chief. +011:007 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it + the city of David. +011:008 He built the city round about, from Millo even round about; + and Joab repaired the rest of the city. +011:009 David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him. +011:010 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, + who shown themselves strong with him in his kingdom, + together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word + of Yahweh concerning Israel. +011:011 This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: + Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; + he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them + at one time. +011:012 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was + one of the three mighty men. +011:013 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were + gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full + of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines. +011:014 They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed + the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory. +011:015 Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, + into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines + were encamped in the valley of Rephaim. +011:016 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the + Philistines was then in Bethlehem. +011:017 David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink + of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! +011:018 The three broke through the army 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 Yahweh, +011:019 and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this: + shall I drink the blood of these men who 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 the three mighty men. +011:020 Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; + for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, + and had a name among the three. +011:021 Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made + their captain: however he didn't attain to the [first] three. +011:022 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, + who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two [sons of] Ariel + of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst + of a pit in time of snow. +011:023 He killed 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 killed him with his own spear. +011:024 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name + among the three mighty men. +011:025 Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn't + attain to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard. +011:026 Also the mighty men of the armies: Asahel the brother + of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, +011:027 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite, +011:028 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite, +011:029 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite, +011:030 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite, +011:031 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children + of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite, +011:032 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite, +011:033 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite, +011:034 the sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of + Shagee the Hararite, +011:035 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur, +011:036 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite, +011:037 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai, +011:038 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Hagri, +011:039 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armor bearer + of Joab the son of Zeruiah, +011:040 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, +011:041 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai, +011:042 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a chief of the Reubenites, + and thirty with him, +011:043 Hanan the son of Maacah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite, +011:044 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jeiel the sons of + Hotham the Aroerite, +011:045 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite, +011:046 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, + and Ithmah the Moabite, +011:047 Eliel, and Obed, and Jaasiel the Mezobaite. +012:001 Now these are those who 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, his helpers in war. +012:002 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and + the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow: + they were of Saul's brothers of Benjamin. +012:003 The chief was Ahiezer; then Joash, the sons of Shemaah + the Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, + and Beracah, and Jehu the Anathothite, +012:004 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, + and over the thirty, and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, + and Jozabad the Gederathite, +012:005 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, + and Shephatiah the Haruphite, +012:006 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, + the Korahites, +012:007 and Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. +012:008 Of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to + the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, + men trained for war, that could handle shield and spear; + whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift + as the roes on the mountains; +012:009 Ezer the chief, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, +012:010 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, +012:011 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, +012:012 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, +012:013 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh. +012:014 These of the sons of Gad were captains of the army: + he who was least was equal to one hundred, and the greatest + to one thousand. +012:015 These are those who went over the Jordan in the first month, + when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put + to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, + and toward the west. +012:016 There came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the + stronghold to David. +012:017 David went out to meet them, and answered them, If you be come + peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; + but if [you be come] to betray me to my adversaries, seeing there + is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, + and rebuke it. +012:018 Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty, + [and he said], "We are yours, David, and on your side, you son + of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; + for your God helps you." Then David received them, and made + them captains of the band. +012:019 Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, + when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: + but they didn't help them; for the lords of the Philistines + sent him away after consultation, saying, He will fall away + to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads. +012:020 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, + and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, + and Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh. +012:021 They helped David against the band of rovers: for they were + all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army. +012:022 For from day to day men came to David to help him, until there + was a great army, like the army of God. +012:023 These are the numbers of the heads of those who were armed for war, + who came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, + according to the word of Yahweh. +012:024 The children of Judah who bore shield and spear were six + thousand and eight hundred, armed for war. +012:025 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the war, + seven thousand and one hundred. +012:026 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred. +012:027 Jehoiada was the leader of [the house of] Aaron; and with him + were three thousand and seven hundred, +012:028 and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father's + house twenty-two captains. +012:029 Of the children of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul, three thousand: + for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance + to the house of Saul. +012:030 Of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, + mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers' houses. +012:031 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were + mentioned by name, to come and make David king. +012:032 Of the children of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, + to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were two hundred; + and all their brothers were at their commandment. +012:033 Of Zebulun, such as were able to go out in the army, who could + set the battle in array, with all manner of instruments of war, + fifty thousand, and who could order [the battle array, + and were] not of double heart. +012:034 Of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them with shield + and spear thirty-seven thousand. +012:035 Of the Danites who could set the battle in array, + twenty-eight thousand six hundred. +012:036 Of Asher, such as were able to go out in the army, who could + set the battle in array, forty thousand. +012:037 On the other side of the Jordan, of the Reubenites, + and the Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, + with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, + one hundred twenty thousand. +012:038 All these being men of war, who could order the battle array, + came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over + all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart + to make David king. +012:039 They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; + for their brothers had made preparation for them. +012:040 Moreover those who were near to them, [even] as far as + Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, + and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food of meal, + cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, + and oxen, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel. +013:001 David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, + even with every leader. +013:002 David said to all the assembly of Israel, If it seem good to you, + and if it be of Yahweh our God, let us send abroad everywhere + to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom + the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, + that they may gather themselves to us; +013:003 and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: + for we didn't seek it in the days of Saul. +013:004 All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing + was right in the eyes of all the people. +013:005 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor [the + brook] of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring + the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim. +013:006 David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], + to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from + there the ark of God Yahweh that sits [above] the cherubim, + that is called by the Name. +013:007 They carried the ark of God on a new cart, [and brought it] out + of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. +013:008 David and all Israel played before God with all their might, + even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, + and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. +013:009 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put + forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. +013:010 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, + because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there + he died before God. +013:011 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzza; + and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day. +013:012 David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring + the ark of God home to me? +013:013 So David didn't move the ark to him into the city of David, + but carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. +013:014 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house + three months: and Yahweh blessed the house of Obed-Edom, + and all that he had. +014:001 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, + and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house. +014:002 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel; + for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's sake. +014:003 David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father + of more sons and daughters. +014:004 These are the names of the children whom he had + in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, +014:005 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet, +014:006 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, +014:007 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet. +014:008 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. +014:009 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the + valley of Rephaim. +014:010 David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against + the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? + Yahweh said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand. +014:011 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; + and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, + like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name + of that place Baal Perazim. +014:012 They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, + and they were burned with fire. +014:013 The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley. +014:014 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall + not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them + over against the mulberry trees. +014:015 It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops + of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; + for God is gone out before you to strike the army + of the Philistines. +014:016 David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army + of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer. +014:017 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought + the fear of him on all nations. +015:001 [David] made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared + a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. +015:002 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: + for them has Yahweh chosen to carry the ark of God, + and to minister to him forever. +015:003 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark + of Yahweh to its place, which he had prepared for it. +015:004 David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites: +015:005 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers + one hundred twenty; +015:006 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers + two hundred twenty; +015:007 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers + one hundred thirty; +015:008 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his + brothers two hundred; +015:009 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty; +015:010 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers + one hundred twelve. +015:011 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, + for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, +015:012 and said to them, You are the heads of the fathers' [houses] of + the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, + that you may bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, + to [the place] that I have prepared for it. +015:013 For because you didn't carry it at the first, Yahweh our God + made a breach on us, because we didn't seek him according + to the ordinance. +015:014 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring + up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel. +015:015 The children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their + shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses commanded according + to the word of Yahweh. +015:016 David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers + the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments + and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up + the voice with joy. +015:017 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, + Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari + their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; +015:018 and with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, + and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, + and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, + and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers. +015:019 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were appointed] + with cymbals of brass to sound aloud; +015:020 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, + and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments + set to Alamoth; +015:021 and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, + and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed + lyre, to lead. +015:022 Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: + he instructed about the song, because he was skillful. +015:023 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark. +015:024 Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, + and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, + did blow the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom + and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. +015:025 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, + went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of + the house of Obed-Edom with joy. +015:026 It happened, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark + of the covenant of Yahweh, that they sacrificed seven bulls + and seven rams. +015:027 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, + and all the Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, + and Chenaniah the master of the song [with] the singers: + and David had on him an ephod of linen. +015:028 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant + of Yahweh with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, + and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed + instruments and harps. +015:029 It happened, as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to + the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked + out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; + and she despised him in her heart. +016:001 They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst + of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered + burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. +016:002 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and + the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh. +016:003 He dealt to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, + to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion [of flesh], + and a cake of raisins. +016:004 He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark + of Yahweh, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Yahweh, + the God of Israel: +016:005 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, + and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, + and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; + and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; +016:006 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, + before the ark of the covenant of God. +016:007 Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Yahweh, + by the hand of Asaph and his brothers. +016:008 Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make his doings + known among the peoples. +016:009 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works. +016:010 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who + seek Yahweh rejoice. +016:011 Seek you Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more. +016:012 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, + and the judgments of his mouth, +016:013 you seed of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, + his chosen ones. +016:014 He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth. +016:015 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded + to a thousand generations, +016:016 [the covenant] which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac. +016:017 He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel + for an everlasting covenant, +016:018 saying, I will you give the land of Canaan, The lot + of your inheritance, +016:019 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, + and foreigners were in it. +016:020 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom + to another people. +016:021 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings + for their sakes, +016:022 [saying], Don't touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm. +016:023 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from + day to day. +016:024 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works + among all the peoples. +016:025 For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. + He also is to be feared above all gods. +016:026 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh + made the heavens. +016:027 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are + in his place. +016:028 Ascribe to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to + Yahweh glory and strength! +016:029 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, + and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array. +016:030 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established + that it can't be moved. +016:031 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! + Let them say among the nations, Yahweh reigns. +016:032 Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, + and all that is therein! +016:033 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, + for he comes to judge the earth. +016:034 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving + kindness endures forever. +016:035 Say, Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and + deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, + to triumph in your praise. +016:036 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even + to everlasting. All the people said, Amen, and praised Yahweh. +016:037 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Asaph + and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, + as every day's work required; +016:038 and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also + the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers; +016:039 and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before the tent + of Yahweh in the high place that was at Gibeon, +016:040 to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering + continually morning and evening, even according to all that is + written in the law of Yahweh, which he commanded to Israel; +016:041 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, + who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, + because his loving kindness endures forever; +016:042 and with them Heman and Jeduthun [with] trumpets and cymbals + for those that should sound aloud, and [with] instruments for + the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate. +016:043 All the people departed every man to his house: + and David returned to bless his house. +017:001 It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said + to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, + but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh [dwells] under curtains. +017:002 Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God + is with you. +017:003 It happened the same night, that the word of God came + to Nathan, saying, +017:004 Go and tell David my servant, Thus says Yahweh, You shall + not build me a house to dwell in: +017:005 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought + up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, + and from [one] tent [to another]. +017:006 In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, spoke I + a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded + to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have you not built + me a house of cedar? +017:007 Now therefore thus shall you tell my servant David, Thus says + Yahweh of Armies, I took you from the sheep pen, from following + the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel: +017:008 and I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off + all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a name, + like the name of the great ones who are in the earth. +017:009 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, + that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; + neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, + as at the first, +017:010 and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over + my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. + Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house. +017:011 It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go + to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, + who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. +017:012 He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. +017:013 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not + take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him + that was before you; +017:014 but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever; + and his throne shall be established forever. +017:015 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, + so did Nathan speak to David. +017:016 Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; + and he said, Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, + that you have brought me thus far? +017:017 This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have + spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, + and have regarded me according to the estate of a man + of high degree, Yahweh God. +017:018 What can David [say] yet more to you concerning the honor + which is done to your servant? for you know your servant. +017:019 Yahweh, for your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, + have you worked all this greatness, to make known all + [these] great things. +017:020 Yahweh, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, + according to all that we have heard with our ears. +017:021 What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, + whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you + a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations + from before your people, whom you redeem out of Egypt? +017:022 For your people Israel did you make your own people forever; + and you, Yahweh, became their God. +017:023 Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning + your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, + and do as you have spoken. +017:024 Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, + Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: + and the house of David your servant is established before you. +017:025 For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will + build him a house: therefore has your servant found [in + his heart] to pray before you. +017:026 Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing + to your servant: +017:027 and now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, + that it may continue forever before you: for you, Yahweh, + have blessed, and it is blessed forever. +018:001 After this it happened, that David struck the Philistines, + and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand + of the Philistines. +018:002 He struck Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, + and brought tribute. +018:003 David struck Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went + to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates. +018:004 David took from him one thousand chariots, and seven + thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David + hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them + for one hundred chariots. +018:005 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king + of Zobah, David struck of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men. +018:006 Then David put [garrisons] in Syria of Damascus; + and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. + Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went. +018:007 David took the shields of gold that were on the servants + of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. +018:008 From Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took + very much brass, with which Solomon made the bronze sea, + and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. +018:009 When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army + of Hadarezer king of Zobah, +018:010 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, + because he had fought against Hadarezer and struck him; + (for Hadarezer had wars with Tou;) and [he had with him] + all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass. +018:011 These also did king David dedicate to Yahweh, with the silver + and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; + from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, + and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. +018:012 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck of the Edomites + in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand. +018:013 He put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants + to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went. +018:014 David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and + righteousness to all his people. +018:015 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat + the son of Ahilud was recorder; +018:016 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, + were priests; and Shavsha was scribe; +018:017 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites + and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief + about the king. +019:001 It happened after this, that Nahash the king of the children + of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place. +019:002 David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son + of Nahash, because his father shown kindness to me. + So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. + David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon + to Hanun, to comfort him. +019:003 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Think you + that David does honor your father, in that he has sent + comforters to you? Aren't his servants come to you to search, + and to overthrow, and to spy out the land? +019:004 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut + off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, + and sent them away. +019:005 Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men + were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were + greatly ashamed. The king said, Stay at Jericho until your + beards be grown, and then return. +019:006 When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves + odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one + thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen + out of Mesopotamia, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Zobah. +019:007 So they hired them thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king + of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. + The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from + their cities, and came to battle. +019:008 When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army + of the mighty men. +019:009 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array + at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were + by themselves in the field. +019:010 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him + before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, + and put them in array against the Syrians. +019:011 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai + his brother; and they put themselves in array against + the children of Ammon. +019:012 He said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then you shall + help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, + then I will help you. +019:013 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, + and for the cities of our God: and Yahweh do that which + seems him good. +019:014 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before + the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him. +019:015 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. +019:016 When the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, + they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians who were beyond + the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadarezer + at their head. +019:017 It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, + and passed over the Jordan, and came on 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. +019:018 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians + [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, + and killed Shophach the captain of the army. +019:019 When the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse + before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: + neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more. +020:001 It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time + when kings go out [to battle], that Joab led forth the army, + and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came + and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. + Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it. +020:002 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 on David's head: + and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much. +020:003 He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut [them] + with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. + Thus did David to all the cities of the children of Ammon. + David and all the people returned to Jerusalem. +020:004 It happened after this, that there arose war at Gezer with + the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, + of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued. +020:005 There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son + of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, + the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. +020:006 There was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, + whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six [on each hand], + and six [on each foot]; and he also was born to the giant. +020:007 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's + brother killed him. +020:008 These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand + of David, and by the hand of his servants. +021:001 Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. +021:002 David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, + number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, + that I may know the sum of them. +021:003 Joab said, Yahweh make his people a hundred times as many + as they are: but, my lord the king, aren't they all my + lord's servants? Why does my lord require this thing? + Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel? +021:004 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. + Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, + and came to Jerusalem. +021:005 Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people to David. + All those of Israel were one million one hundred thousand + men who drew sword: and in Judah were four hundred seventy + thousand men who drew sword. +021:006 But he didn't count Levi and Benjamin among them; for the king's + word was abominable to Joab. +021:007 God was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Israel. +021:008 David said to God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done + this thing: but now, put away, I beg you, the iniquity + of your servant; for I have done very foolishly. +021:009 Yahweh spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying, +021:010 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says Yahweh, I offer you + three things: choose you one of them, that I may do it to you. +021:011 So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Take + which you will: +021:012 either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed + before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; + or else three days the sword of Yahweh, even pestilence + in the land, and the angel of Yahweh destroying throughout + all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer + I shall return to him who sent me. +021:013 David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, + into the hand of Yahweh; for very great are his mercies: + and let me not fall into the hand of man. +021:014 So Yahweh sent a pestilence on Israel; and there fell of Israel + seventy thousand men. +021:015 God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was + about to destroy, Yahweh saw, and he repented him of the evil, + and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay your hand. + The angel of Yahweh was standing by the threshing floor + of Ornan the Jebusite. +021:016 David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Yahweh standing + between earth and the sky, having a drawn sword in his hand + stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, + clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces. +021:017 David said to God, Isn't it I who commanded the people + to be numbered? It is even I who have sinned and done + very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? + Please let your hand, O Yahweh my God, be against me, + and against my father's house; but not against your people, + that they should be plagued. +021:018 Then the angel of Yahweh commanded Gad to tell David, that David + should go up, and raise an altar to Yahweh in the threshing + floor of Ornan the Jebusite. +021:019 David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the + name of Yahweh. +021:020 Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons who were + with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. +021:021 As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went + out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David + with his face to the ground. +021:022 Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this + threshing floor, that I may build thereon an altar to Yahweh: + for the full price shall you give it me, that the plague + may be stayed from the people. +021:023 Ornan said to David, Take it to you, and let my lord the king + do that which is good in his eyes: behold, I give [you] the oxen + for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, + and the wheat for the meal offering; I give it all. +021:024 King David said to Ornan, No; but I will most certainly buy it + for the full price: for I will not take that which is yours + for Yahweh, nor offer a burnt offering without cost. +021:025 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels + of gold by weight. +021:026 David built there an altar to Yahweh, and offered burnt offerings + and peace offerings, and called on Yahweh; and he answered + him from the sky by fire on the altar of burnt offering. +021:027 Yahweh commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again + into the sheath of it. +021:028 At that time, when David saw that Yahweh had answered + him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, + then he sacrificed there. +021:029 For the tent of Yahweh, which Moses made in the wilderness, + and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time in the high + place at Gibeon. +021:030 But David couldn't go before it to inquire of God; for he was + afraid because of the sword of the angel of Yahweh. +022:001 Then David said, This is the house of Yahweh God, and this + is the altar of burnt offering for Israel. +022:002 David commanded to gather together the foreigners who were + in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew worked stones + to build the house of God. +022:003 David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors + of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in + abundance without weight; +022:004 and cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and they + of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David. +022:005 David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house + that is to be built for Yahweh must be exceedingly magnificent, + of fame and of glory throughout all countries: + I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared + abundantly before his death. +022:006 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build + a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel. +022:007 David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart + to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God. +022:008 But the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, You have shed + blood abundantly, and have made great wars: you shall not + build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood + on the earth in my sight. +022:009 Behold, a son shall be born to you, 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 to Israel in his days: +022:010 he shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, + and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne + of his kingdom over Israel for ever. +022:011 Now, my son, Yahweh be with you; and prosper you, and build + the house of Yahweh your God, as he has spoken concerning you. +022:012 May Yahweh give you discretion and understanding, and put + you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law + of Yahweh your God. +022:013 Then shall you prosper, if you observe to do the statutes + and the ordinances which Yahweh gave Moses concerning Israel. + Be strong, and of good courage. Don't be afraid, + neither be dismayed. +022:014 Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house + of Yahweh one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one 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 you may add to them. +022:015 There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers + of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful + in every kind of work: +022:016 of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is + no number. Arise and be doing, and Yahweh be with you. +022:017 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon + his son, [saying], +022:018 Isn't Yahweh your God with you? Hasn't he given you rest on + every side? for he has delivered the inhabitants of the land + into my hand; and the land is subdued before Yahweh, + and before his people. +022:019 Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Yahweh your God; + arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring + the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and the holy vessels of God, + into the house that is to be built to the name of Yahweh. +023:001 Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son + king over Israel. +023:002 He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests + and the Levites. +023:003 The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: + and their number by their polls, man by man, + was thirty-eight thousand. +023:004 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of + the house of Yahweh; and six thousand were officers and judges; +023:005 and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised + Yahweh with the instruments which I made, [said David], + for giving praise. +023:006 David divided them into divisions according to the sons + of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. +023:007 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. +023:008 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. +023:009 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. + These were the heads of the fathers' [houses] of Ladan. +023:010 The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. + These four were the sons of Shimei. +023:011 Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah + didn't have many sons; therefore they became a fathers' + house in one reckoning. +023:012 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. +023:013 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, + that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, + forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, + and to bless in his name, forever. +023:014 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among + the tribe of Levi. +023:015 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. +023:016 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief. +023:017 The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer + had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. +023:018 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief. +023:019 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, + Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. +023:020 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second. +023:021 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: + Eleazar and Kish. +023:022 Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: + and their brothers the sons of Kish took them [to wife]. +023:023 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. +023:024 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, + even the heads of the fathers' houses of those who were + counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, + who did the work for the service of the house of Yahweh, + from twenty years old and upward. +023:025 For David said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest + to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever: +023:026 and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tent + and all the vessels of it for the service of it. +023:027 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, + from twenty years old and upward. +023:028 For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service + of the house of Yahweh, in the courts, and in the chambers, + and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work + of the service of the house of God; +023:029 for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, + whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked + in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner + of measure and size; +023:030 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, + and likewise in the evening; +023:031 and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, + on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according + to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh; +023:032 and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, + and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons + of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh. +024:001 These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons + of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. +024:002 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: + therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office. +024:003 David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of + the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering + in their service. +024:004 There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar + than of the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were they divided: + of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers' + houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to + their fathers' houses, eight. +024:005 Thus were they divided impartially by drawing lots; + for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, + both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. +024:006 Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, + wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, + and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, + and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the priests and + of the Levites; one fathers' house being taken for Eleazar, + and one taken for Ithamar. +024:007 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, +024:008 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, +024:009 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, +024:010 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, +024:011 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, +024:012 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, +024:013 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, +024:014 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, +024:015 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, +024:016 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, +024:017 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, +024:018 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. +024:019 This was the ordering of them in their service, to come + into the house of Yahweh according to the ordinance [given] + to them by Aaron their father, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, + had commanded him. +024:020 Of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; + of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. +024:021 Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief. +024:022 Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. +024:023 The sons [of Hebron]: Jeriah [the chief], Amariah the second, + Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth. +024:024 The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir. +024:025 The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. +024:026 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah: Beno. +024:027 The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Beno, and Shoham, + and Zaccur, and Ibri. +024:028 Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons. +024:029 Of Kish; the sons of Kish: Jerahmeel. +024:030 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. + These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers' houses. +024:031 These likewise cast lots even as their brothers the sons of Aaron + in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, + and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the priests + and of the Levites; the fathers' [houses] of the chief even + as those of his younger brother. +025:001 Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service + certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, + who should prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, + and with cymbals: and the number of those who did the work + according to their service was: +025:002 of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, + and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, + who prophesied after the order of the king. +025:003 Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, + and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands + of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied + in giving thanks and praising Yahweh. +025:004 Of Heman; the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, + and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, + and Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth. +025:005 All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words + of God, to lift up the horn. God gave to Heman fourteen sons + and three daughters. +025:006 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house + of Yahweh, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, + for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman + being under the order of the king. +025:007 The number of them, with their brothers who were instructed + in singing to Yahweh, even all who were skillful, + was two hundred eighty-eight. +025:008 They cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small + as the great, the teacher as the scholar. +025:009 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: + the second to Gedaliah; he and his brothers and sons were twelve: +025:010 the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:011 the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:012 the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:013 the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:014 the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:015 the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:016 the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:017 the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:018 the eleventh to Azarel, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:019 the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:020 for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:021 for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:022 for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:023 for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:024 for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and + his brothers, twelve: +025:025 for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:026 for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:027 for the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons and his brothers, twelve: +025:028 for the one and twentieth to Hothir, his sons and + his brothers, twelve: +025:029 for the two and twentieth to Giddalti, his sons and + his brothers, twelve: +025:030 for the three and twentieth to Mahazioth, his sons and + his brothers, twelve: +025:031 for the four and twentieth to Romamtiezer, his sons and + his brothers, twelve. +026:001 For the divisions of the doorkeepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah + the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph. +026:002 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, + Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, +026:003 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh. +026:004 Obed-Edom had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, + Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethanel the fifth, +026:005 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth; + for God blessed him. +026:006 Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born, who ruled over the house + of their father; for they were mighty men of valor. +026:007 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, + whose brothers were valiant men, Elihu, and Semachiah. +026:008 All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom: they and their sons + and their brothers, able men in strength for the service; + sixty-two of Obed-Edom. +026:009 Meshelemiah had sons and brothers, valiant men, eighteen. +026:010 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: + Shimri the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, + yet his father made him chief), +026:011 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth: + all the sons and brothers of Hosah were thirteen. +026:012 Of these were the divisions of the doorkeepers, even of the + chief men, having offices like their brothers, to minister + in the house of Yahweh. +026:013 They cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to + their fathers' houses, for every gate. +026:014 The lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, + a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. +026:015 To Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse. +026:016 To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, + at the causeway that goes up, watch against watch. +026:017 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four + a day, and for the storehouse two and two. +026:018 For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. +026:019 These were the divisions of the doorkeepers; of the sons + of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari. +026:020 Of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house of God, + and over the treasures of the dedicated things. +026:021 The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, + the heads of the fathers' [houses] belonging to Ladan + the Gershonite: Jehieli. +026:022 The sons of Jehieli: Zetham, and Joel his brother, + over the treasures of the house of Yahweh. +026:023 Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, + of the Uzzielites: +026:024 and Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler + over the treasures. +026:025 His brothers: of Eliezer [came] Rehabiah his son, + and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, + and Shelomoth his son. +026:026 This Shelomoth and his brothers were over all the treasures + of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the heads + of the fathers' [houses], the captains over thousands and hundreds, + and the captains of the army, had dedicated. +026:027 Out of the spoil won in battles did they dedicate to repair + the house of Yahweh. +026:028 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, + whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomoth, + and of his brothers. +026:029 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward + business over Israel, for officers and judges. +026:030 Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, men of valor, + one thousand seven hundred, had the oversight of Israel + beyond the Jordan westward, for all the business of Yahweh, + and for the service of the king. +026:031 Of the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even of the Hebronites, + according to their generations by fathers' [houses]. In + the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, + and there were found among them mighty men of valor at + Jazer of Gilead. +026:032 His brothers, men of valor, were two thousand seven hundred, + heads of fathers' [houses], whom king David made overseers + over the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe + of the Manassites, for every matter pertaining to God, + and for the affairs of the king. +027:001 Now the children of Israel after their number, the heads of fathers' + [houses] and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, + and their officers who served the king, in any matter + of the divisions which came in and went out month by month + throughout all the months of the year--of every division + were twenty-four thousand. +027:002 Over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son + of Zabdiel: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. +027:003 [He was] of the children of Perez, the chief of all the captains + of the army for the first month. +027:004 Over the division of the second month was Dodai the Ahohite, + and his division; and Mikloth the ruler: and in his division + were twenty-four thousand. +027:005 The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah, + the son of Jehoiada the priest, chief: and in his division + were twenty-four thousand. +027:006 This is that Benaiah, who was the mighty man of the thirty, + and over the thirty: and [of] his division was Ammizabad his son. +027:007 The fourth [captain] for the fourth month was Asahel + the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: + and in his division were twenty-four thousand. +027:008 The fifth captain for this fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: + and in his division were twenty-four thousand. +027:009 The sixth [captain] for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh + the Tekoite: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. +027:010 The seventh [captain] for the seventh month was Helez + the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his division + were twenty-four thousand. +027:011 The eighth [captain] for the eighth month was Sibbecai + the Hushathite, of the Zerahites: and in his division + were twenty-four thousand. +027:012 The ninth [captain] for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, + of the Benjamites: and in his division were twenty-four thousand. +027:013 The tenth [captain] for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, + of the Zerahites: and in his division were Twenty-four thousand. +027:014 The eleventh [captain] for the eleventh month was + Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: + and in his division were twenty-four thousand. +027:015 The twelfth [captain] for the twelfth month was Heldai + the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his division + were twenty-four thousand. +027:016 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: + of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri the ruler: + of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah: +027:017 of Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of Aaron, Zadok: +027:018 of Judah, Elihu, one of the brothers of David: + of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael: +027:019 of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jeremoth + the son of Azriel: +027:020 of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: + of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah: +027:021 of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: + of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner: +027:022 of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the captains + of the tribes of Israel. +027:023 But David didn't take the number of them from twenty years old + and under, because Yahweh had said he would increase Israel + like the stars of the sky. +027:024 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but didn't finish; + and there came wrath for this on Israel; neither was the number + put into the account in the chronicles of king David. +027:025 Over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: + and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, + and in the villages, and in the towers, was Jonathan + the son of Uzziah: +027:026 Over those who did the work of the field for tillage of the ground + was Ezri the son of Chelub: +027:027 and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: + and over the increase of the vineyards for the winecellars + was Zabdi the Shiphmite: +027:028 and over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in + the lowland was Baal Hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars + of oil was Joash: +027:029 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: +027:030 and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: + and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: + and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. +027:031 All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's. +027:032 Also Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counselor, a man + of understanding, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni + was with the king's sons: +027:033 Ahithophel was the king's counselor: and Hushai the Archite + was the king's friend: +027:034 and after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: + and the captain of the king's army was Joab. +028:001 David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, + and the captains of the companies who served the king by division, + and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, + and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king + and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, + even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem. +028:002 Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, Hear me, + my brothers, and my people: as for me, it was in my heart + to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, + and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready + for the building. +028:003 But God said to me, You shall not build a house for my name, + because you are a man of war, and have shed blood. +028:004 However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all + the house of my father to be king over Israel forever: + for he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, + the house of my father; and among the sons of my father + he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel; +028:005 Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has + chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom + of Yahweh over Israel. +028:006 He said to me, Solomon your son, he shall build my house + and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I + will be his father. +028:007 I will establish his kingdom forever, if he be constant to do + my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day. +028:008 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, + and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all + the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this + good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children + after you forever. +028:009 You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve + him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh + searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations + of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; + but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. +028:010 Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house + for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it. +028:011 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch [of + the temple], and of the houses of it, and of the treasuries of it, + and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner chambers of it, + and of the place of the mercy seat; +028:012 and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts + of the house of Yahweh, and for all the surrounding rooms, + for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries + of the dedicated things; +028:013 also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, + and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, + and for all the vessels of service in the house of Yahweh; +028:014 of gold by weight for the [vessels of] gold, for all vessels + of every kind of service; [of silver] for all the vessels + of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service; +028:015 by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for the lamps of it, + of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for the lamps of it; + and for the lampstands of silver, [silver] by weight for [every] + lampstand and for the lamps of it, according to the use + of every lampstand; +028:016 and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; + and silver for the tables of silver; +028:017 and the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; + and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; + and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl; +028:018 and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; + and gold for the pattern of the chariot, [even] the cherubim, + that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the + covenant of Yahweh. +028:019 All this, [said David], have I been made to understand in writing + from the hand of Yahweh, even all the works of this pattern. +028:020 David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, + and do it: don't be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, + even my God, is with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you, + until all the work for the service of the house of + Yahweh is finished. +028:021 Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and + the Levites, for all the service of the house of God: + and there shall be with you in all manner of work every + willing man who has skill, for any manner of service: + also the captains and all the people will be entirely + at your command. +029:001 David the king said to all the assembly, Solomon my son, + whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, + and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, + but for Yahweh God. +029:002 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God + the gold for the [things of] gold, and the silver for the [things + of] silver, and the brass for the [things of] brass, the iron + for the [things of] iron, and wood for the [things of] wood; + onyx stones, and [stones] to be set, stones for inlaid work, + and of various colors, and all manner of precious stones, + and marble stones in abundance. +029:003 In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, + seeing that I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, + I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I + have prepared for the holy house, +029:004 even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, + and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to + overlay the walls of the houses; +029:005 of gold for the [things of] gold, and of silver for the [things + of] silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands + of artificers. Who then offers willingly to consecrate + himself this day to Yahweh? +029:006 Then the princes of the fathers' [houses], and the princes of the + tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, + with the rulers over the king's work, offered willingly; +029:007 and they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five + thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten + thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, + and of iron a hundred thousand talents. +029:008 They with whom [precious] stones were found gave them + to the treasure of the house of Yahweh, under the hand + of Jehiel the Gershonite. +029:009 Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, + because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to Yahweh: + and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. +029:010 Therefore David blessed Yahweh before all the assembly; + and David said, You are blessed, Yahweh, the God of Israel + our father, forever and ever. +029:011 Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, + the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens + and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you + are exalted as head above all. +029:012 Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all; + and in your hand is power and might; and it is in your hand + to make great, and to give strength to all. +029:013 Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name. +029:014 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able + to offer so willingly as this? For all things come of you, + and of your own have we given you. +029:015 For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all + our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, + and there is no abiding. +029:016 Yahweh our God, all this store that we have prepared to + build you a house for your holy name comes of your hand, + and is all your own. +029:017 I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have + pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness + of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: + and now have I seen with joy your people, that are present here, + offer willingly to you. +029:018 Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, + keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart + of your people, and prepare their heart to you; +029:019 and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, + your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, + and to build the palace, for which I have made provision. +029:020 David said to all the assembly, Now bless Yahweh your God. + All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, + and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before + Yahweh and the king. +029:021 They sacrificed sacrifices to Yahweh, and offered burnt + offerings to Yahweh, on the next day after that day, even one + thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, + with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance + for all Israel, +029:022 and ate and drink before Yahweh on that day with great gladness. + They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, + and anointed him to Yahweh to be prince, and Zadok to be priest. +029:023 Then Solomon sat on the throne of Yahweh as king instead of David + his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. +029:024 All the princes, the mighty men, and also all of the sons + of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king. +029:025 Yahweh magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, + and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on + any king before him in Israel. +029:026 Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. +029:027 The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; + he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three [years] + reigned he in Jerusalem. +029:028 He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: + and Solomon his son reigned in his place. +029:029 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are + written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history + of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer, +029:030 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. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): 1 CHRONICLES *** + +This file should be named 8240.txt or 8240.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
