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
was] pasture there for their flocks.
1CH-4:42 And [some] of them, [even] of the sons of Simeon, five
hundred men,
went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and
Neariah, and
Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
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.
1CH-5:4 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei
his son,
1CH-5:5 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

[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,

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.
1CH-5:22 For there fell down many slain, because the war [was]
of God. And
they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
1CH-5:23 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt
in the land:
they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto
mount Hermon.
1CH-5:24 And these [were] the heads of the house of their
fathers, even
Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and
Hodaviah, and
Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, [and] heads of the

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

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

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,
with the gate
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
at Parbar.
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

1CH-26:25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and
Jeshaiah 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
wit], the chief
fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their
officers that served
the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went
out month by

1CH-27:5 The third captain of the host for the third month

1CH-27:6 This [is that] Benaiah, [who was] mighty [among] the

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:

low plains [was] Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of

Joash:
1CH-27:29 And over the herds that fed in Sharon [was] Shitrai

1CH-27:30 Over the camels also [was] Obil the Ishmaelite: and
over the asses
[was] Jehdeiah the Meronothite:
1CH-27:31 And over the flocks [was] Jaziz the Hagerite. All
these [were] the
rulers of the substance which [was] king David's.
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.
