the east side of

the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

1CH-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.

1CH-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

1CH-4:42 And [some] of them, [even] of the sons of Simeon, five

1CH-4:43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were

escaped, and

dwelt there unto this day.

1CH-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.

1CH-5:2 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him

[came] the chief

ruler; but the birthright [was] Joseph's:)

1CH-5:3 The sons, [I say], of Reuben the firstborn of Israel

[were], Hanoch,

and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

his son,

1CH-5:5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

carried away

[captive]: he [was] prince of the Reubenites.

1CH-5:7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy

of their

generations was reckoned, [were] the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

1CH-5:8 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of

Joel, who

dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-5:11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in

the land of

Bashan unto Salcah:

1CH-5:12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and

Shaphat in

Bashan.

1CH-5:13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers

[were], Michael,

Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of

Jeshishai, the son

of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

1CH-5:15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the

house of their

fathers.

1CH-5:16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns,

and in all the

suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-5:19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and

Nephish, and

Nodab.

1CH-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 entreated of them; because they put their

trust in him.

1CH-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.

[their] set

office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house

of God.

1CH-9:27 And they lodged round about the house of God, because

the charge

[was] upon them, and the opening thereof every morning

[pertained] to them.

1CH-9:28 And [certain] of them had the charge of the

ministering vessels,

that they should bring them in and out by tale.

the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the

wine, and the

oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

1CH-9:30 And [some] of the sons of the priests made the

ointment of the

spices.

1CH-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.

1CH-9:32 And [other] of their brethren, of the sons of the

Kohathites, [were]

over the showbread, to prepare [it] every sabbath.

1CH-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.

1CH-9:34 These chief fathers of the Levites [were] chief

throughout their

generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.

1CH-9:35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel,

whose wife's name

[was] Maachah:

1CH-9:36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and

Baal, and Ner,

and Nadab,

1CH-9:37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

1CH-9:38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with

their brethren

at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.

1CH-9:39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul

begat Jonathan,

and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

1CH-9:40 And the son of Jonathan [was] Meribbaal: and Meribbaal

begat Micah.

1CH-9:41 And the sons of Micah [were], Pithon, and Melech, and

Tahrea, [and

Ahaz].

1CH-9:42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and

Azmaveth, and

Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;

1CH-9:43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah

his son, Azel

his son.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-10:2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and

after his sons;

and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua,

the sons of

Saul.

1CH-10:3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers

hit him, and

he was wounded of the archers.

1CH-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.

1CH-10:5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he

fell likewise

on the sword, and died.

1CH-10:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house

died together.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-10:10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods,

and fastened

his head in the temple of Dagon.

1CH-10:11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the

Philistines had done

to Saul,

1CH-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.

1CH-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 inquire

[of it];

1CH-10:14 And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him,

and turned the

kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

1CH-11:1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto

Hebron, saying,

Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which [is]

Jebus; where

the Jebusites [were], the inhabitants of the land.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called

it the city of

David.

1CH-11:8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo

round about: and

Joab repaired the rest of the city.

1CH-11:9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of

hosts [was] with

him.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:11 And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David

had;

Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted

up his spear

against three hundred slain [by him] at one time.

1CH-11:12 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo, the

Ahohite, who [was

one] of the three mighties.

1CH-11:13 He was with David at Pasdammim, 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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:16 And David [was] then in the hold, and the

Philistines' garrison

[was] then at Bethlehem.

1CH-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!

1CH-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,

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:24 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and

had the name

among the three mighties.

1CH-11:25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but

attained not to the

[first] three: and David set him over his guard.

1CH-11:26 Also the valiant men of the armies [were], Asahel the

brother of

Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

1CH-11:27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

1CH-11:28 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the

Antothite,

1CH-11:29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

1CH-11:30 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the

Netophathite,

1CH-11:31 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, [that pertained] to

the children

of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

1CH-11:32 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,

1CH-11:33 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,

1CH-11:34 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of

Shage the

Hararite,

1CH-11:35 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son

of Ur,

1CH-11:36 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,

1CH-11:37 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,

1CH-11:38 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri,

1CH-11:39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the

armourbearer of Joab

the son of Zeruiah,

1CH-11:40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

1CH-11:41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,

1CH-11:42 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of

the Reubenites,

and thirty with him,

1CH-11:43 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,

1CH-11:44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of

Hothan the

Aroerite,

1CH-11:45 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the

Tizite,

1CH-11:46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the

sons of Elnaam,

and Ithmah the Moabite,

1CH-11:47 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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,

1CH-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,

1CH-12:5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and

Shephatiah the

Haruphite,

1CH-12:6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and

Jashobeam, the

Korhites,

1CH-12:7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

1CH-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;

1CH-12:9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

1CH-12:10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

1CH-12:11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

1CH-12:12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

1CH-12:13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-12:16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah

to the hold

unto David.

1CH-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].

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-12:24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear

[were] six

thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

1CH-12:25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for

the war, seven

thousand and one hundred.

1CH-12:26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

1CH-12:27 And Jehoiada [was] the leader of the Aaronites, and

with him [were]

three thousand and seven hundred;

1CH-12:28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his

father's house

twenty and two captains.

1CH-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.

1CH-12:30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and

eight hundred,

mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their

fathers.

1CH-12:31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand,

which were

expressed by name, to come and make David king.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-12:34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them

with shield and

spear thirty and seven thousand.

1CH-12:35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight

thousand and six

hundred.

1CH-12:36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in

war, forty

thousand.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-12:39 And there they were with David three days, eating and

drinking: for

their brethren had prepared for them.

1CH-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.

1CH-13:1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and

hundreds,

[and] with every leader.

1CH-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:

1CH-13:3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for

we inquired not

at it in the days of Saul.

1CH-13:4 And all the congregation said that they would do so:

for the thing

was right in the eyes of all the people.

1CH-13:5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of

Egypt even

unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from

Kirjathjearim.

1CH-13:6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that

is], to

Kirjathjearim, 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].

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-13:9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon,

Uzza put forth

his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

1CH-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.

1CH-13:11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a

breach upon

Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

1CH-13:12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How

shall I bring the

ark of God [home] to me?

1CH-13:13 So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the

city of

David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the

Gittite.

1CH-13:14 And the ark of God remained with the family of

Obededom in his

house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom,

and all that

he had.

1CH-14:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and

timber of

cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

1CH-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.

1CH-14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David

begat more sons

and daughters.

1CH-14:4 Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he

had in

Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

1CH-14:5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

1CH-14:6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

1CH-14:7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

1CH-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.

1CH-14:9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the

valley of

Rephaim.

1CH-14:10 And David inquired 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.

1CH-14:11 So they came up to Baalperazim; 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

Baalperazim.

1CH-14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a

commandment,

and they were burned with fire.

1CH-14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves

abroad in the

valley.

1CH-14:14 Therefore David inquired 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.

1CH-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.

1CH-14:16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they

smote the host

of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

1CH-14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and

the LORD brought

the fear of him upon all nations.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-15:4 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the

Levites:

1CH-15:5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his

brethren an hundred

and twenty:

1CH-15:6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his

brethren two

hundred and twenty:

1CH-15:7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his

brethren an hundred

and thirty:

1CH-15:8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his

brethren two

hundred:

1CH-15:9 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his

brethren fourscore:

1CH-15:10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his

brethren an

hundred and twelve.

1CH-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,

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves

to bring up

the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

1CH-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.

1CH-15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to

appoint their

brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of music,

psalteries and harps

and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

1CH-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;

1CH-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

Obededom, and

Jeiel, the porters.

1CH-15:19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were

appointed] to sound

with cymbals of brass;

1CH-15:20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel,

and Unni,

and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

1CH-15:21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and

Obededom, and

Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

1CH-15:22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song:

he instructed

about the song, because he [was] skilful.

1CH-15:23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] doorkeepers for the

ark.

1CH-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 Obededom and Jehiah [were]

doorkeepers for the ark.

1CH-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 Obededom with joy.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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].

1CH-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:

1CH-16:5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and

Shemiramoth,

and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom:

and Jeiel

with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with

cymbals;

1CH-16:6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets

continually

before the ark of the covenant of God.

1CH-16:7 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to

thank the

LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

1CH-16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make

known his deeds

among the people.

1CH-16:9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all

his wondrous

works.

1CH-16:10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them

rejoice that seek

the LORD.

1CH-16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face

continually.

1CH-16:12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his

wonders, and

the judgments of his mouth;

1CH-16:13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob,

his chosen

ones.

1CH-16:14 He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all

the earth.

1CH-16:15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word

[which] he commanded

to a thousand generations;

1CH-16:16 [Even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham,

and of his oath

unto Isaac;

1CH-16:17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, [and]

to Israel

[for] an everlasting covenant,

1CH-16:18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the

lot of your

inheritance;

1CH-16:19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

1CH-16:20 And [when] they went from nation to nation, and from

[one] kingdom

to another people;

1CH-16:21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved

kings for

their sakes,

1CH-16:22 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets

no harm.

1CH-16:23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from

day to day his

salvation.

1CH-16:24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous

works among all

nations.

1CH-16:25 For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised:

he also [is] to

be feared above all gods.

1CH-16:26 For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the

LORD made the

heavens.

1CH-16:27 Glory and honour [are] in his presence; strength and

gladness [are]

in his place.

1CH-16:28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give

unto the LORD

glory and strength.

1CH-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.

1CH-16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall

be stable,

that it be not moved.

1CH-16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice:

and let [men]

say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

1CH-16:32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the

fields rejoice,

and all that [is] therein.

1CH-16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the

presence of the

LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

1CH-16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good; for

his mercy

[endureth] for ever.

1CH-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.

1CH-16:36 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever.

And all the

people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

1CH-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:

1CH-16:38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and

eight; Obededom

also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be] porters:

1CH-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,

1CH-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;

1CH-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;

1CH-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.

1CH-16:43 And all the people departed every man to his house:

and David

returned to bless his house.

1CH-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.

1CH-17:2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that [is] in thine

heart; for

God [is] with thee.

1CH-17:3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of

God came to

Nathan, saying,

1CH-17:4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD,

Thou shalt not

build me an house to dwell in:

1CH-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].

1CH-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?

1CH-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:

1CH-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.

1CH-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,

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-17:12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his

throne for

ever.

1CH-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:

1CH-17:14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom

for ever: and

his throne shall be established for evermore.

1CH-17:15 According to all these words, and according to all

this vision, so

did Nathan speak unto David.

1CH-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?

1CH-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.

1CH-17:18 What can David [speak] more to thee for the honour of

thy servant?

for thou knowest thy servant.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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?

1CH-17:22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own

people for ever;

and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-17:26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this

goodness unto

thy servant:

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-18:2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's

servants, [and]

brought gifts.

1CH-18:3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath,

as he went to

stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

1CH-18:4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven

thousand

horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hocked all the

chariot

[horses], but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

1CH-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.

1CH-18:6 Then David put [garrisons] in Syriadamascus; and the

Syrians became

David's servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved

David

whithersoever he went.

1CH-18:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the

servants of

Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

1CH-18:8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of

Hadarezer, brought

David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea,

and the pillars,

and the vessels of brass.

1CH-18:9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had

smitten all the host

of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

1CH-18:10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire 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.

1CH-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.

1CH-18:12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the

Edomites in the

valley of salt eighteen thousand.

1CH-18:13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites

became David's

servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

1CH-18:14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed

judgment and justice

among all his people.

1CH-18:15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and

Jehoshaphat

the son of Ahilud, recorder.

1CH-18:16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of

Abiathar,

[were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-19:2 And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the

son of Nahash,

because his father showed 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.

1CH-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?

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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

Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.

1CH-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.

1CH-19:8 And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all

the host of the

mighty men.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-19:11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand

of Abishai

his brother, and they set [themselves] in array against the

children of Ammon.

1CH-19:12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me,

then thou shalt

help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee,

then I will help

thee.

1CH-19:13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves

valiantly for our

people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do [that

which is]

good in his sight.

1CH-19:14 So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew nigh

before the

Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

1CH-19:15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians

were fled, they

likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the

city. Then Joab

came to Jerusalem.

1CH-19:16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the

worse before

Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that

[were] beyond

the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer

[went] before

them.

1CH-19:17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel,

and passed over

Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array

against them. So

when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they

fought with

him.

1CH-19:18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of

the Syrians

seven thousand [men which fought in] chariots, and forty

thousand footmen, and

killed Shophach the captain of the host.

1CH-19:19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were

put to the

worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his

servants:

neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

1CH-20:1 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired,

at the time

that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the power of the

army, and

wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and

besieged Rabbah. But

David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed

it.

1CH-20:2 And David took the crown of their king from off his

head, and found

it to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were] precious stones

in it; and it

was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much

spoil out of the

city.

1CH-20:3 And he brought out the people that [were] in it, and

cut [them] with

saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt

David with all

the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the

people returned to

Jerusalem.

1CH-20:4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war

at Gezer with

the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew

Sippai, [that

was] of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.

1CH-20:5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and

Elhanan the son of

Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear

staff [was]

like a weaver's beam.

1CH-20:6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man

of [great]

stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on

each hand],

and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant.

1CH-20:7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea

David's

brother slew him.

1CH-20:8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell

by the hand of

David, and by the hand of his servants.

1CH-21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David

to number

Israel.

1CH-21:2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people,

Go, number

Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them

to me, that I

may know [it].

1CH-21:3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred

times so many

more as they [be]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all my

lord's

servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he

be a cause of

trespass to Israel?

1CH-21:4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab.

Wherefore Joab

departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

1CH-21:5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto

David. And

all [they of] Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred

thousand men that

drew sword: and Judah [was] four hundred threescore and ten

thousand men that

drew sword.

1CH-21:6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for

the king's word

was abominable to Joab.

1CH-21:7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he

smote Israel.

1CH-21:8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly,

because I have done

this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy

servant; for

I have done very foolishly.

1CH-21:9 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

1CH-21:10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I

offer thee three

[things]: choose thee one of them, that I may do [it] unto thee.

1CH-21:11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith

the LORD,

Choose thee

1CH-21:12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be

destroyed before

thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh

[thee]; or else

three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the

land, and the

angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel.

Now

therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him

that sent me.

1CH-21:13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let

me fall now

into the hand of the LORD; for very great [are] his mercies: but

let me not

fall into the hand of man.

1CH-21:14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there

fell of Israel

seventy thousand men.

1CH-21:15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it:

and as he was

destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil,

and said to the

angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the

angel of the

LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1CH-21:16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of

the LORD stand

between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his

hand stretched

out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of Israel, who

were] clothed in

sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

1CH-21:17 And David said unto God, [Is it] not I [that]

commanded the people

to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil

indeed; but [as

for] these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray

thee, O LORD my

God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people,

that they

should be plagued.

1CH-21:18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to

David, that

David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the

threshingfloor of

Ornan the Jebusite.

1CH-21:19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he

spake in the name

of the LORD.

1CH-21:20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his

four sons with

him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

1CH-21:21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw

David, and went

out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with [his]

face to the

ground.

1CH-21:22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of [this]

threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD:

thou shalt

grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed

from the people.

1CH-21:23 And Ornan said unto David, Take [it] to thee, and let

my lord the

king do [that which is] good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the

oxen [also]

for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and

the wheat for

the meat offering; I give it all.

1CH-21:24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily

buy it for the

full price: for I will not take [that] which [is] thine for the

LORD, nor

offer burnt offerings without cost.

1CH-21:25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred

shekels of gold by

weight.

1CH-21:26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and

offered burnt

offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he

answered him

from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.

1CH-21:27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his

sword again

into the sheath thereof.

1CH-21:28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had

answered him in the

threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

1CH-21:29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in

the wilderness,

and the altar of the burnt offering, [were] at that season in

the high place

at Gibeon.

1CH-21:30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God:

for he was

afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

1CH-22:1 Then David said, This [is] the house of the LORD God,

and this [is]

the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

1CH-22:2 And David commanded to gather together the strangers

that [were] in

the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to

build the house

of God.

1CH-22:3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for

the doors of

the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without

weight;

1CH-22:4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and

they of Tyre

brought much cedar wood to David.

1CH-22:5 And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender,

and the house

[that is] to be builded for the LORD [must be] exceeding

magnifical, of fame

and of glory throughout all countries: I will [therefore] now

make preparation

for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

1CH-22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to

build an

house for the LORD God of Israel.

1CH-22:7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was

in my mind to

build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

1CH-22:8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast

shed blood

abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an

house unto my

name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my

sight.

1CH-22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a

man of rest; and

I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his

name shall be

Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his

days.

1CH-22:10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be

my son, and I

[will be] his father; and I will establish the throne of his

kingdom over

Israel for ever.

1CH-22:11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou,

and build the

house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

1CH-22:12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and

give thee

charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the

LORD thy God.

1CH-22:13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to

fulfil the statutes

and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning

Israel: be strong,

and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

1CH-22:14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the

house of the

LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand

thousand talents of

silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in

abundance: timber

also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

1CH-22:15 Moreover [there are] workmen with thee in abundance,

hewers and

workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for

every manner of

work.

1CH-22:16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron,

[there is] no

number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the LORD be with

thee.

1CH-22:17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to

help Solomon his

son, [saying],

1CH-22:18 [Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he

[not] given you

rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the

land into mine

hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his

people.

1CH-22:19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD

your God; arise

therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring

the ark of the

covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the

house that is to

be built to the name of the LORD.

1CH-23:1 So when David was old and full of days, he made

Solomon his son king

over Israel.

1CH-23:2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel,

with the priests

and the Levites.

1CH-23:3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty

years and

upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty

and eight

thousand.

1CH-23:4 Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to set

forward the work of

the house of the LORD; and six thousand [were] officers and

judges:

1CH-23:5 Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four

thousand praised the

LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise

[therewith].

1CH-23:6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of

Levi,

[namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

1CH-23:7 Of the Gershonites [were], Laadan, and Shimei.

1CH-23:8 The sons of Laadan; the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetham,

and Joel,

three.

1CH-23:9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran,

three. These

[were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

1CH-23:10 And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and

Jeush, and Beriah.

These four [were] the sons of Shimei.

1CH-23:11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but

Jeush and

Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning,

according to

[their] father's house.

1CH-23:12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,

four.

1CH-23:13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was

separated, that

he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for

ever, to burn

incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in

his name for

ever.

1CH-23:14 Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were

named of the

tribe of Levi.

1CH-23:15 The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.

1CH-23:16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel [was] the chief.

1CH-23:17 And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief.

And Eliezer had

none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

1CH-23:18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

1CH-23:19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the

second,

Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

1CH-23:20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah

the second.

1CH-23:21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of

Mahli; Eleazar,

and Kish.

1CH-23:22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and

their

brethren the sons of Kish took them.

1CH-23:23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth,

three.

1CH-23:24 These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of

their fathers;

[even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number

of names by

their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of

the LORD, from

the age of twenty years and upward.

1CH-23:25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given

rest unto his

people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

1CH-23:26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no [more] carry

the

tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

1CH-23:27 For by the last words of David the Levites [were]

numbered from

twenty years old and above:

1CH-23:28 Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of

Aaron for the

service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the

chambers, and in

the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of

the house of

God;

1CH-23:29 Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for

meat offering,

and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which is baked in]

the pan, and

for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;

1CH-23:30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the

LORD, and

likewise at even;

1CH-23:31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in

the sabbaths, in

the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to

the order

commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:

1CH-23:32 And that they should keep the charge of the

tabernacle of the

congregation, and the charge of the holy [place], and the charge

of the sons

of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

1CH-24:1 Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron.

The sons of

Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

1CH-24:2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had

no children:

therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.

1CH-24:3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of

Eleazar, and

Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in

their service.

1CH-24:4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of

Eleazar than of

the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were they divided. Among the

sons of Eleazar

[there were] sixteen chief men of the house of [their] fathers,

and eight

among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their

fathers.

1CH-24:5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another;

for the

governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God,

were of the

sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

1CH-24:6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, [one] of

the Levites,

wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the

priest, and

Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and [before] the chief of the

fathers of the

priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for

Eleazar, and

[one] taken for Ithamar.

1CH-24:7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second

to Jedaiah,

1CH-24:8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

1CH-24:9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

1CH-24:10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

1CH-24:11 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,

1CH-24:12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

1CH-24:13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

1CH-24:14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,

1CH-24:15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,

1CH-24:16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to

Jehezekel,

1CH-24:17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and

twentieth to Gamul,

1CH-24:18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and

twentieth to

Maaziah.

1CH-24:19 These [were] the orderings of them in their service

to come into

the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron

their father, as

the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

1CH-24:20 And the rest of the sons of Levi [were these]: Of the

sons of

Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.

1CH-24:21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the

first [was]

Isshiah.

1CH-24:22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth;

Jahath.

1CH-24:23 And the sons [of Hebron]; Jeriah [the first], Amariah

the second,

Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.

1CH-24:24 [Of] the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of

Michah; Shamir.

1CH-24:25 The brother of Michah [was] Isshiah: of the sons of

Isshiah;

Zechariah.

1CH-24:26 The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi: the sons

of Jaaziah;

Beno.

1CH-24:27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and

Zaccur, and

Ibri.

1CH-24:28 Of Mahli [came] Eleazar, who had no sons.

1CH-24:29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish [was] Jerahmeel.

1CH-24:30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth.

These [were]

the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.

1CH-24:31 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren

the sons of

Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and

Ahimelech, and the

chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the

principal fathers

over against their younger brethren.

1CH-25:1 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated

to the service

of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should

prophesy with

harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the

workmen

according to their service was:

1CH-25:2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and

Nethaniah, and

Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which

prophesied

according to the order of the king.

1CH-25:3 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri,

and Jeshaiah,

Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father

Jeduthun, who

prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

1CH-25:4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah,

Uzziel, Shebuel,

and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and

Romamtiezer,

Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, [and] Mahazioth:

1CH-25:5 All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's seer in

the words of

God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons

and three

daughters.

1CH-25:6 All these [were] under the hands of their father for

song [in] the

house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the

service of the

house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun,

and Heman.

1CH-25:7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were

instructed in

the songs of the LORD, [even] all that were cunning, was two

hundred fourscore

and eight.

1CH-25:8 And they cast lots, ward against [ward], as well the

small as the

great, the teacher as the scholar.

1CH-25:9 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the

second to

and his

brethren, [were] twelve.

1CH-26:1 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the

Korhites [was]

Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

1CH-26:2 And the sons of Meshelemiah [were], Zechariah the

firstborn, Jediael

the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

1CH-26:3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the

1CH-26:4 Moreover the sons of Obededom [were], Shemaiah the

firstborn,

Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and

Nethaneel the

fifth,

1CH-26:5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the

blessed him.

1CH-26:6 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled

throughout the

house of their father: for they [were] mighty men of valour.

1CH-26:7 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed,

Elzabad, whose

brethren [were] strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.

1CH-26:8 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons

and their

brethren, able men for strength for the service, [were]

threescore and two of

Obededom.

1CH-26:9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men,

eighteen.

1CH-26:10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons;

Simri the chief,

(for [though] he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him

the chief;)

1CH-26:11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the

fourth: all

the sons and brethren of Hosah [were] thirteen.

1CH-26:12 Among these [were] the divisions of the porters,

[even] among the

chief men, [having] wards one against another, to minister in

the house of the

LORD.

1CH-26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great,

according to

the house of their fathers, for every gate.

1CH-26:14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for

Zechariah his son,

a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out

northward.

1CH-26:15 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of

Asuppim.

1CH-26:16 To Shuppim and Hosah [the lot came forth] westward,

Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.

1CH-26:17 Eastward [were] six Levites, northward four a day,

southward four a

day, and toward Asuppim two [and] two.

1CH-26:18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, [and] two

1CH-26:19 These [are] the divisions of the porters among the

sons of Kore,

and among the sons of Merari.

1CH-26:20 And of the Levites, Ahijah [was] over the treasures

of the house of

God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.

1CH-26:21 [As concerning] the sons of Laadan; the sons of the

the treasures.

1CH-26:25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and

Jeshaiah his

son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his

1CH-26:26 Which Shelomith and his brethren [were] over all the

treasures of

the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief

fathers, the

captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the

host, had

dedicated.

1CH-26:27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to

maintain the

house of the LORD.

1CH-26:28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of

Kish, and Abner

the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had dedicated;

[and] whosoever

had dedicated [any thing, it was] under the hand of Shelomith,

and of his

brethren.

1CH-26:29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons [were] for

the outward

business over Israel, for officers and judges.

1CH-26:30 [And] of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren,

men of valour,

a thousand and seven hundred, [were] officers among them of

Israel on this

side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the

service of

the king.

1CH-26:31 Among the Hebronites [was] Jerijah the chief, [even]

among the

Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the

fortieth year

of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found

among them

mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.

1CH-26:32 And his brethren, men of valour, [were] two thousand

and seven

hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the

Reubenites, the

Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter

pertaining to God,

and affairs of the king.

1CH-27:1 Now the children of Israel after their number, [to

the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went

out month by

above the thirty: and in his course [was] Ammizabad his son.

1CH-27:7 The fourth [captain] for the fourth month [was] Asahel

princes of the

tribes of Israel.

1CH-27:23 But David took not the number of them from twenty

years old and

under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like

to the stars of

the heavens.

1CH-27:24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he

finished not,

because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the

number put in

the account of the chronicles of king David.

1CH-27:25 And over the king's treasures [was] Azmaveth the son

of Adiel: and

over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the

villages, and in

the castles, [was] Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:

1CH-27:26 And over them that did the work of the field for

tillage of the

ground [was] Ezri the son of Chelub:

1CH-27:27 And over the vineyards [was] Shimei the Ramathite:

1CH-27:32 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise

man, and a

scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni [was] with the king's

sons:

1CH-27:33 And Ahithophel [was] the king's counsellor: and

Hushai the Archite

[was] the king's companion:

1CH-27:34 And after Ahithophel [was] Jehoiada the son of

Benaiah, and

Abiathar: and the general of the king's army [was] Joab.

1CH-28:1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the

princes of the

tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the

king by

course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over

the hundreds,

and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the

king, and of his

sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all

the valiant

men, unto Jerusalem.

1CH-28:2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said,

Hear me, my

brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in mine heart to

build an house

of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the

footstool of our

God, and had made ready for the building:

1CH-28:3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house

for my name,

because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast shed blood.

1CH-28:4 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the

house of my

father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah

[to be] the

ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and

among the sons

of my father he liked me to make [me] king over all Israel:

1CH-28:5 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many

sons,) he hath

chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of

the LORD over

Israel.

1CH-28:6 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build

my house and my

courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son, and I will be his

father.

1CH-28:7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he

be constant to

do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

1CH-28:8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the

congregation of the

LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the

commandments

of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and

leave [it] for

an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

1CH-28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy

father, and serve

him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD

searcheth all

hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts:

if thou seek

him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will

cast thee off

for ever.

1CH-28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build

an house for

the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].

1CH-28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the

porch, and of

the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the

upper chambers

thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of

the mercy

seat,

1CH-28:12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of

the courts of

the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of

the treasuries

of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated

things:

1CH-28:13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites,

and for all

the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all

the vessels of

service in the house of the LORD.

1CH-28:14 [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for

all

instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all

instruments of

silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:

1CH-28:15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for

their lamps

of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps

thereof: and for

the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick,

and [also]

for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

1CH-28:16 And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of

showbread, for every

table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:

1CH-28:17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and

the cups: and

for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for every basin;

and [likewise

silver] by weight for every basin of silver:

1CH-28:18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight;

and gold for

the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out

[their wings],

and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

1CH-28:19 All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand

in writing by

[his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.

1CH-28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of

good courage,

and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, [even]

my God, [will

be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until

thou hast

finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

1CH-28:21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the

Levites, [even they

shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and

[there shall

be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing

skilful man, for any

manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be]

wholly at thy

commandment.

1CH-29:1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the

congregation, Solomon

my son, whom alone God hath chosen, [is yet] young and tender,

and the work

[is] great: for the palace [is] not for man, but for the LORD

God.

1CH-29:2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of

my God the

gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the silver for

[things] of silver,

and the brass for [things] of brass, the iron for [things] of

iron, and wood

for [things] of wood; onyx stones, and [stones] to be set,

glistering stones,

and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and

marble stones in

abundance.

1CH-29:3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house

of my God, I

have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, [which] I have

given to the

house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the

holy house,

1CH-29:4 [Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of

Ophir, and

seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls

of the houses

[withal]:

1CH-29:5 The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for

[things] of

silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of

artificers.

And who [then] is willing to consecrate his service this day

unto the LORD?

1CH-29:6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the

tribes of Israel,

and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers

of the king's

work, offered willingly,

1CH-29:7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold

five thousand

talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand

talents, and of

brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand

talents of iron.

1CH-29:8 And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave

[them] to the

treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the

Gershonite.

1CH-29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered

willingly, because

with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David

the king also

rejoiced with great joy.

1CH-29:10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the

congregation: and

David said, Blessed [be] thou, LORD God of Israel our father,

for ever and

ever.

1CH-29:11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and

the glory,

and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the

heaven and in the

earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art

exalted as head

above all.

1CH-29:12 Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou

reignest over all;

and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine hand [it

is] to make

great, and to give strength unto all.

1CH-29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy

glorious

name.

1CH-29:14 But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we

should be able to

offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come] of

thee, and of

thine own have we given thee.

1CH-29:15 For we [are] strangers before thee, and sojourners,

as [were] all

our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there

is] none

abiding.

1CH-29:16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared

to build thee

an house for thine holy name [cometh] of thine hand, and [is]

all thine own.

1CH-29:17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and

hast pleasure

in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I

have willingly

offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy

people, which are

present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

1CH-29:18 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our

fathers, keep this

for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy

people, and

prepare their heart unto thee:

1CH-29:19 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep

thy

commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all

[these things],

and to build the palace, [for] the which I have made provision.

1CH-29:20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the

LORD your

God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their

fathers, and bowed

down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.

1CH-29:21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and

offered burnt

offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, [even] a

thousand

bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs, with their

drink offerings,

and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:

1CH-29:22 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day

with great

gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second

time, and

anointed [him] unto the LORD [to be] the chief governor, and

Zadok [to be]

priest.

1CH-29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king

instead of David

his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

1CH-29:24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the

sons likewise

of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.

1CH-29:25 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the

sight of all

Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not

been on any king

before him in Israel.

1CH-29:26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

1CH-29:27 And the time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty

years; seven

years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three [years] reigned

he in

Jerusalem.

1CH-29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches,

and honour:

and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

1CH-29:29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last,

behold, they [are]

written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of

Nathan the prophet,

and in the book of Gad the seer,

1CH-29:30 With all his reign and his might, and the times that

went over him,

and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
