2SA-3:22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from

[pursuing] a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them:but

Abner [was] not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away,

and he was gone in peace. <away> <behold> <brought> <came>

2SA-3:23 When Joab and all the host that [was] with him were

come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the

king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. <all>

2SA-3:24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou

done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast

sent him away, and he is quite gone? <away> <behold> <came>

2SA-3:25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to

deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and

to know all that thou doest. <all> <came> <coming> <deceive>

2SA-3:26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent

messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of

Sirah:but David knew [it] not. <after> <again> <brought> <come>

2SA-3:27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him

aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there

under the fifth [rib] , that he died, for the blood of Asahel

his brother. <asahel> <aside> <blood> <brother> <died> <fifth>

2SA-3:28 And afterward when David heard [it] , he said, I and my

kingdom [are] guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood

of Abner the son of Ner:<afterward> <are> <before> <blood>

2SA-3:29 Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his

father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab

one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a

staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.

2SA-3:30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he

had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. <asahel>

2SA-3:31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that

[were] with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth,

and mourn before Abner. And king David [himself] followed the

bier. <all> <before> <bier> <clothes> <david> <followed> <gird>

2SA-3:32 And they buried Abner in Hebron:and the king lifted up

his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people

wept. <all> <buried> <grave> <hebron> <king> <lifted> <people>

2SA-3:33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner

as a fool dieth? <died> <dieth> <fool> <king> <lamented> <over>

<said>

2SA-3:34 Thy hands [were] not bound. nor thy feet put into

fetters:as a man falleth before wicked men, [so] fellest thou.

And all the people wept again over him. <again> <all> <before>

2SA-3:35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat

while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and

more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.

2SA-3:36 And all the people took notice [of it] , and it pleased

them:as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people. <all>

2SA-3:37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day

that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. <all>

2SA-3:38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that

there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?

2SA-3:39 And I [am] this day weak, though anointed king; and

these men the sons of Zeruiah [be] too hard for me:the LORD

shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.

2SA-4:1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron,

his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

2SA-4:2 And Saul's son had two men [that were] captains of bands:

the name of the one [was] Baanah, and the name of the other

Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of

Benjamin:( for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin. <also>

2SA-4:3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners

there until this day. ) <beerothites> <day> <fled> <gittaim>

2SA-4:4 And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son [that was] lame of

[his] feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul

and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled:

and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell,

and became lame. And his name [was] Mephibosheth. <became>

2SA-4:5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah,

went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of

Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon. <baanah> <bed>

2SA-4:6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, [as

though] they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under

the fifth [rib] :and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

2SA-4:7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in

his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded

him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all

night. <all> <away> <bed> <bedchamber> <beheaded> <came> <gat>

2SA-4:8 And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to

Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the

son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD

hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

2SA-4:9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the

sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, [As] the LORD

liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

2SA-4:10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead,

thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and

slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I would have given him a

reward for his tidings:<behold> <brought> <dead> <given> <good>

2SA-4:11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous

person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now

require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the

earth? <away> <bed> <blood> <earth> <hand> <have> <house> <how>

2SA-4:12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them,

and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] up

over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth,

and buried [it] in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. <buried>

2SA-5:1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron,

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

2SA-5:2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast

he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel:and the LORD said

to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a

captain over Israel. <also> <broughtest> <captain> <feed>

2SA-5:3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron;

and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD:

and they anointed David king over Israel. <all> <anointed>

2SA-5:4 David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign,

[and] he reigned forty years. <began> <david> <forty> <old>

2SA-5:5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six

months:and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over

all Israel and Judah. <all> <hebron> <israel> <jerusalem>

<years>

2SA-5:6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the

Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land:which spake unto David,

saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt

not come in hither:thinking, David cannot come in hither. <away>

2SA-5:7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion:the same

[is] the city of David. <city> <david> <hold> <nevertheless>

2SA-5:8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the

gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind,

[that are] hated of David's soul, [he shall be chief and

captain] . Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not

come into the house. <are> <blind> <captain> <chief> <come>

2SA-5:9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of

David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

2SA-5:10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of

hosts [was] with him. <david> <god> <great> <grew> <him> <hosts>

2SA-5:11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and

cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons:and they built David an

house. <built> <carpenters> <cedar> <david> <hiram> <house>

2SA-5:12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him

king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his

people Israel's sake. <david> <established> <exalted> <had>

2SA-5:13 And David took [him] more concubines and wives out of

Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron:and there were yet sons

and daughters born to David. <after> <born> <come> <concubines>

2SA-5:14 And these [be] the names of those that were born unto

him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

2SA-5:15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, <also>

2SA-5:16 And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. <eliada>

2SA-5:17 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed

David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek

David; and David heard [of it] , and went down to the hold.

2SA-5:18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the

valley of Rephaim. <also> <came> <philistines> <rephaim>

2SA-5:19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up

to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And

the LORD said unto David, Go up:for I will doubtless deliver the

Philistines into thine hand. <david> <deliver> <doubtless> <go>

2SA-5:20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them

there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies

before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name

of that place Baalperazim. <baalperazim> <before> <breach>

2SA-5:21 And there they left their images, and David and his men

burned them. <burned> <david> <images> <left> <men> <there>

2SA-5:22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread

themselves in the valley of Rephaim. <again> <came>

2SA-5:23 And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou

shalt not go up; [but] fetch a compass behind them, and come

upon them over against the mulberry trees. <against> <behind>

2SA-5:24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going

in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir

thyself:for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the

host of the Philistines. <before> <bestir> <go> <going>

2SA-5:25 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and

smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer. <come>

2SA-6:1 Again, David gathered together all [the] chosen [men] of

Israel, thirty thousand. <again> <all> <chosen> <david>

2SA-6:2 And David arose, and went with all the people that

[were] with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the

ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of

hosts that dwelleth [between] the cherubims. <all> <ark> <arose>

2SA-6:3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought

it out of the house of Abinadab that [was] in Gibeah:and Uzzah

and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. <ahio> <ark>

2SA-6:4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which

[was] at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God:and Ahio went

before the ark. <ahio> <ark> <before> <brought> <gibeah> <god>

2SA-6:5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the

LORD on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, even on

harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and

on cymbals. <all> <before> <cornets> <cymbals> <david> <even>

2SA-6:6 And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put

forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the

oxen shook [it] . <ark> <came> <forth> <god> <hand> <hold>

2SA-6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and

God smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the

ark of God. <against> <anger> <ark> <died> <error> <god> <him>

2SA-6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a

breach upon Uzzah:and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah

to this day. <because> <breach> <called> <david> <day>

2SA-6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How

shall the ark of the LORD come to me? <afraid> <ark> <come>

2SA-6:10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him

into the city of David:but David carried it aside into the house

of Obededom the Gittite. <ark> <aside> <carried> <city> <david>

<would>

2SA-6:11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of

Obededom the Gittite three months:and the LORD blessed Obededom,

and all his household. <all> <ark> <blessed> <continued>

2SA-6:12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath

blessed the house of Obededom, and all that [pertaineth] unto

him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the

ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David

with gladness. <all> <ark> <because> <blessed> <brought> <city>

2SA-6:13 And it was [so] , that when they that bare the ark of

the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

2SA-6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might;

and David [was] girded with a linen ephod. <all> <before>

2SA-6:15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark

of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

2SA-6:16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David,

Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king

David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him

in her heart. <ark> <before> <came> <city> <dancing> <daughter>

2SA-6:17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in

his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched

for it:and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings

before the LORD. <ark> <before> <brought> <burnt> <david> <had>

2SA-6:18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt

offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name

of the LORD of hosts. <blessed> <burnt> <david> <end> <had>

2SA-6:19 And he dealt among all the people, [even] among the

whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every

one a cake of bread, and a good piece [of flesh] , and a flagon

[of wine] . So all the people departed every one to his house.

2SA-6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal

the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How

glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to

day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the

vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! <bless> <came>

2SA-6:21 And David said unto Michal, [It was] before the LORD,

which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to

appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel:

therefore will I play before the LORD. <all> <appoint> <before>

2SA-6:22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base

in mine own sight:and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken

of, of them shall I be had in honour. <base> <had> <hast>

2SA-6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto

the day of her death. <child> <daughter> <day> <death> <had>

2SA-7:1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and

the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

2SA-7:2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I

dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within

curtains. <ark> <cedar> <curtains> <dwell> <dwelleth> <god>

2SA-7:3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in

thine heart; for the LORD [is] with thee. <all> <do> <go>

2SA-7:4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the

LORD came unto Nathan, saying, <came> <lord> <nathan> <night>

2SA-7:5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt

thou build me an house for me to dwell in? <build> <david>

2SA-7:6 Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] house since the time

that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to

this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. <any>

2SA-7:7 In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the

children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of

Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why

build ye not me an house of cedar? <all> <any> <build> <cedar>

2SA-7:8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David,

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote,

from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over

Israel:<david> <following> <hosts> <israel> <lord> <now> <over>

2SA-7:9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have

cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a

great name, like unto the name of the great [men] that [are] in

the earth. <all> <are> <cut> <earth> <enemies> <great> <have>

2SA-7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel,

and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own,

and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness

afflict them any more, as beforetime, <afflict> <any> <appoint>

2SA-7:11 And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be]

over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all

thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee

an house. <all> <also> <caused> <commanded> <enemies> <have>

2SA-7:12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep

with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall

proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

<with>

2SA-7:13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will

stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. <build> <ever>

2SA-7:14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he

commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and

with the stripes of the children of men:<chasten> <children>

2SA-7:15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took

[it] from Saul, whom I put away before thee. <away> <before>

2SA-7:16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established

for ever before thee:thy throne shall be established for ever.

2SA-7:17 According to all these words, and according to all this

vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. <all> <david> <did>

2SA-7:18 Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and

he said, Who [am] I, O Lord GOD? and what [is] my house, that

thou hast brought me hitherto? <before> <brought> <david> <god>

2SA-7:19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD;

but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great

while to come. And [is] this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

2SA-7:20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord

GOD, knowest thy servant. <can> <david> <god> <knowest> <lord>

2SA-7:21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart,

hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know

[them] . <all> <done> <great> <hast> <heart> <know> <make> <own>

2SA-7:22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God:for [there is]

none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee,

according to all that we have heard with our ears. <all> <any>

2SA-7:23 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people,

[even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to

himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things

and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou

redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the nations and their

gods? <before> <do> <earth> <egypt> <even> <god> <gods> <great>

2SA-7:24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel

[to be] a people unto thee for ever:and thou, LORD, art become

their God. <art> <become> <confirmed> <ever> <god> <hast>

2SA-7:25 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken

concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish [it]

for ever, and do as thou hast said. <concerning> <do>

2SA-7:26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The

LORD of hosts [is] the God over Israel:and let the house of thy

servant David be established before thee. <before> <david>

2SA-7:27 For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed

to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house:therefore

hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto

thee. <build> <found> <god> <hast> <hath> <heart> <hosts>

2SA-7:28 And now, O Lord GOD, thou [art] that God, and thy words

be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

2SA-7:29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of

thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee:for thou,

O Lord GOD, hast spoken [it] :and with thy blessing let the

house of thy servant be blessed for ever. <before> <bless>

<with>

2SA-8:1 And after this it came to pass, that David smote the

Philistines, and subdued them:and David took Methegammah out of

the hand of the Philistines. <after> <came> <david> <hand>

<took>

2SA-8:2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line,

casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he

to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And [so]

the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.

2SA-8:3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of

Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.

2SA-8:4 And David took from him a thousand [chariots] , and

seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen:and David

hocked all the chariot [horses] , but reserved of them [for] an

hundred chariots. <all> <chariot> <chariots> <david> <footmen>

2SA-8:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour

Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and

twenty thousand men. <came> <damascus> <david> <hadadezer>

2SA-8:6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus:and the

Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And the

LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. <became> <brought>

2SA-8:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the

servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. <brought>

<took>

2SA-8:8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer,

king David took exceeding much brass. <berothai> <betah> <brass>

2SA-8:9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all

the host of Hadadezer, <all> <david> <had> <hadadezer> <hamath>

2SA-8:10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute

him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer,

and smitten him:for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And [Joram]

brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and

vessels of brass:<against> <because> <bless> <brass> <brought>

2SA-8:11 Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with

the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which

he subdued; <all> <also> <david> <dedicate> <dedicated> <did>

<with>

2SA-8:12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon,

and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of

Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah. <amalek> <ammon>

2SA-8:13 And David gat [him] a name when he returned from

smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, [being] eighteen

thousand [men] . <being> <david> <eighteen> <gat> <him> <men>

<when>

2SA-8:14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put

he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And

the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. <all> <became>

2SA-8:15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed

judgment and justice unto all his people. <all> <david>

2SA-8:16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and

Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder; <ahilud> <host>

2SA-8:17 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of

Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Seraiah [was] the scribe;

2SA-8:18 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] both the

Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief

rulers. <benaiah> <both> <cherethites> <chief> <jehoiada> <over>

2SA-9:1 And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the

house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?

2SA-9:2 And [there was] of the house of Saul a servant whose

name [was] Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the

king said unto him, [Art] thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant

[is he] . <art> <called> <david> <had> <him> <house> <king>

2SA-9:3 And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the house

of Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba

said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, [which is] lame on

[his] feet. <any> <feet> <god> <hath> <him> <house> <jonathan>

2SA-9:4 And the king said unto him, Where [is] he? And Ziba said

unto the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, the son

of Ammiel, in Lodebar. <ammiel> <behold> <him> <house> <king>

2SA-9:5 Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house

of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar. <ammiel> <david>

<then>

2SA-9:6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of

Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did

reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold

thy servant! <answered> <behold> <come> <david> <did> <face>

thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore

thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread

at my table continually. <all> <bread> <continually> <david>
