1 Chronicles 10:1--21:30

10:1

Now the Philistines
<06430>

fought
<03898> (8738)

against Israel
<03478>_;

and the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

fled
<05127> (8799)

from before
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

slain
<02491>

in mount
<02022>

Gilboa
<01533>_.

{slain: or, wounded}

10:2

And the Philistines
<06430>

followed hard
<01692> (8686)

after
<0310>

Saul
<07586>_,

and after
<0310>

his sons
<01121>_;

and the Philistines
<06430>

slew
<05221> (8686)

Jonathan
<03129>_,

and Abinadab
<041>_,

and Malchishua
<04444>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>_.

{Abinadab: also called, Ishui}

10:3

And the battle
<04421>

went sore
<03513> (8799)

against Saul
<07586>_,

and the archers
<03384> (8688) <07198>

hit
<04672> (8799)

him, and he was wounded
<02342> (8799)

of the archers
<03384> (8802)_.

{and the archers: Heb. and the shooters with bows} {hit: Heb. found}

10:4

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

to his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,

Draw
<08025> (8798)

thy sword
<02719>_,

and thrust
<01856> (8798)

me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised
<06189>

come
<0935> (8799)

and abuse
<05953> (8694)

me. But his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

would
<014> (8804)

not; for he was sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8804)_.

So Saul
<07586>

took
<03947> (8799)

a sword
<02719>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

upon it. {abuse me: or, mock me}

10:5

And when his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

he fell
<05307> (8799)

likewise on the sword
<02719>_,

and died
<04191> (8799)_.

10:6

So Saul
<07586>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and his three
<07969>

sons
<01121>_,

and all his house
<01004>

died
<04191> (8804)

together
<03162>_.

10:7

And when all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

that [were] in the valley
<06010>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they fled
<05127> (8804)_,

and that Saul
<07586>

and his sons
<01121>

were dead
<04191> (8804)_,

then they forsook
<05800> (8799)

their cities
<05892>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_:

and the Philistines
<06430>

came
<0935> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in them.

10:8

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

when the Philistines
<06430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to strip
<06584> (8763)

the slain
<02491>_,

that they found
<04672> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

and his sons
<01121>

fallen
<05307> (8802)

in mount
<02022>

Gilboa
<01533>_.

10:9

And when they had stripped
<06584> (8686)

him, they took
<05375> (8799)

his head
<07218>_,

and his armour
<03627>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>

round about
<05439>_,

to carry tidings
<01319> (8763)

unto their idols
<06091>_,

and to the people
<05971>_.

10:10

And they put
<07760> (8799)

his armour
<03627>

in the house
<01004>

of their gods
<0430>_,

and fastened
<08628> (8804)

his head
<01538>

in the temple
<01004>

of Dagon
<01712>_.

10:11

And when all Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

heard
<08085> (8799)

all that the Philistines
<06430>

had done
<06213> (8804)

to Saul
<07586>_,

10:12

They arose
<06965> (8799)_,

all the valiant
<02428>

men
<0376>_,

and took away
<05375> (8799)

the body
<01480>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and the bodies
<01480>

of his sons
<01121>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them to Jabesh
<03003>_,

and buried
<06912> (8799)

their bones
<06106>

under the oak
<0424>

in Jabesh
<03003>_,

and fasted
<06684> (8799)

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_.

10:13

So Saul
<07586>

died
<04191> (8799)

for his transgression
<04604>

which he committed
<04603> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

[even] against the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he kept
<08104> (8804)

not, and also for asking
<07592> (8800)

[counsel] of [one that had] a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

[of it]; {committed: Heb. transgressed}

10:14

And enquired
<01875> (8804)

not of the LORD
<03068>_:

therefore he slew
<04191> (8686)

him, and turned
<05437> (8686)

the kingdom
<04410>

unto David
<01732>

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_.

{Jesse: Heb. Isai}

11:1

Then all Israel
<03478>

gathered
<06908> (8735)

themselves to David
<01732>

unto Hebron
<02275>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, we [are] thy bone
<06106>

and thy flesh
<01320>_.

11:2

And moreover in time
<08543>

past
<08032>_,

even when Saul
<07586>

was king
<04428>_,

thou [wast] he that leddest out
<03318> (8688)

and broughtest in
<0935> (8688)

Israel
<03478>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Thou shalt feed
<07462> (8799)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and thou shalt be ruler
<05057>

over my people
<01571>

Israel
<03478>_.

{in time...: Heb. both yesterday and the third day} {feed: or, rule}

11:3

Therefore came
<0935> (8799)

all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

to the king
<04428>

to Hebron
<02275>_;

and David
<01732>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with them in Hebron
<02275>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

and they anointed
<04886> (8799)

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

by
<03027>

Samuel
<08050>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

11:4

And David
<01732>

and all Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which [is] Jebus
<02982>_;

where the Jebusites
<02983>

[were], the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_.

11:5

And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jebus
<02982>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Thou shalt not come
<0935> (8799)

hither. Nevertheless David
<01732>

took
<03920> (8799)

the castle
<04686>

of Zion
<06726>_,

which [is] the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

11:6

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whosoever smiteth
<05221> (8688)

the Jebusites
<02983>

first
<07223>

shall be chief
<07218>

and captain
<08269>_.

So Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

went
<05927> (0)

first
<07223>

up
<05927> (8799)_,

and was chief
<07218>_.

{chief: Heb. head}

11:7

And David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the castle
<04679>_;

therefore they called
<07121> (8804)

it the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

{it: that is, Zion}

11:8

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the city
<05892>

round about
<05439>_,

even from Millo
<04407>

round about
<05439>_:

and Joab
<03097>

repaired
<02421> (8762)

the rest
<07605>

of the city
<05892>_.

{repaired: Heb. revived}

11:9

So David
<01732>

waxed
<03212> (8799)

greater
<01980> (8800)

and greater
<01419>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[was] with him. {waxed...: Heb. went in going and increasing}

11:10

These also [are] the chief
<07218>

of the mighty men
<01368>

whom David
<01732>

had, who strengthened
<02388> (8693)

themselves with him in his kingdom
<04438>_,

[and] with all Israel
<03478>_,

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

concerning Israel
<03478>_.

{strengthened...: or, held strongly with him}

11:11

And this [is] the number
<04557>

of the mighty men
<01368>

whom David
<01732>

had; Jashobeam
<03434>_,

an Hachmonite
<02453>_,

the chief
<07218>

of the captains
<07991> (8675) <07970>_:

he lifted up
<05782> (8790)

his spear
<02595>

against three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

slain
<02491>

[by him] at one
<0259>

time
<06471>_.

{an Hachmonite: or, son of Hachmoni}

11:12

And after
<0310>

him [was] Eleazar
<0499>

the son
<01121>

of Dodo
<01734>_,

the Ahohite
<0266>_,

who [was one] of the three
<07969>

mighties
<01368>_.

11:13

He was with David
<01732>

at Pasdammim
<06450>_,

and there the Philistines
<06430>

were gathered together
<0622> (8738)

to battle
<04421>_,

where was a parcel
<02513>

of ground
<07704>

full
<04392>

of barley
<08184>_;

and the people
<05971>

fled
<05127> (8804)

from before
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_.

{Pasdammim: also called, Ephesdammim}

11:14

And they set
<03320> (8691)

themselves in the midst
<08432>

of [that] parcel
<02513>_,

and delivered
<05337> (8686)

it, and slew
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

saved
<03467> (8686)

[them] by a great
<01419>

deliverance
<08668>_.

{set...: or, stood} {deliverance: or, salvation}

11:15

Now three
<07969>

of the thirty
<07970>

captains
<07218>

went down
<03381> (8799)

to the rock
<06697>

to David
<01732>_,

into the cave
<04631>

of Adullam
<05725>_;

and the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>

encamped
<02583> (8802)

in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

{three...: or, three captains over the thirty}

11:16

And David
<01732>

[was] then in the hold
<04686>_,

and the Philistines
<06430>_'

garrison
<05333>

[was] then at Bethlehem
<01035>_.

11:17

And David
<01732>

longed
<0183> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh that one would give me drink
<08248> (8686)

of the water
<04325>

of the well
<0953>

of Bethlehem
<01035>_,

that [is] at the gate
<08179>_!

11:18

And the three
<07969>

brake through
<01234> (8799)

the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and drew
<07579> (8799)

water
<04325>

out of the well
<0953>

of Bethlehem
<01035>_,

that [was] by the gate
<08179>_,

and took
<05375> (8799)

[it], and brought
<0935> (8686)

[it] to David
<01732>_:

but David
<01732>

would
<014> (8804)

not drink
<08354> (8800)

[of] it, but poured it out
<05258> (8762)

to the LORD
<03068>_,

11:19

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

My God
<0430>

forbid
<02486>

it me, that I should do
<06213> (8800)

this thing
<02063>_:

shall I drink
<08354> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

of these men
<0582>

that have put their lives in jeopardy
<05315>_?

for with [the jeopardy of] their lives
<05315>

they brought
<0935> (8689)

it. Therefore he would
<014> (8804)

not drink
<08354> (8800)

it. These things did
<06213> (8804)

these three
<07969>

mightiest
<01368>_.

{that have...: Heb. with their lives?}

11:20

And Abishai
<052>

the brother
<0251>

of Joab
<03097>_,

he was chief
<07218>

of the three
<07969>_:

for lifting up
<05782> (8790)

his spear
<02595>

against three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>_,

he slew
<02491>

[them], and had a name
<08034>

among the three
<07969>_.

11:21

Of the three
<07969>_,

he was more honourable
<03513> (8737)

than the two
<08147>_;

for he was their captain
<08269>_:

howbeit he attained
<0935> (8804)

not to the [first] three
<07969>_.

11:22

Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

the son
<01121>

of a valiant
<02428>

man
<0376>

of Kabzeel
<06909>_,

who had done many
<07227>

acts
<06467>_;

he slew
<05221> (8689)

two
<08147>

lionlike men
<0739>

of Moab
<04124>_:

also he went down
<03381> (8804)

and slew
<05221> (8689)

a lion
<0738>

in
<08432>

a pit
<0953>

in a snowy
<07950>

day
<03117>_.

{who had...: Heb. great of deeds}

11:23

And he slew
<05221> (8689)

an Egyptian
<04713>_,

a man
<0376>

of [great] stature
<04060>_,

five
<02568>

cubits
<0520>

high; and in the Egyptian's
<04713>

hand
<03027>

[was] a spear
<02595>

like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)

beam
<04500>_;

and he went down
<03381> (8799)

to him with a staff
<07626>_,

and plucked
<01497> (8799)

the spear
<02595>

out of the Egyptian's
<04713>

hand
<03027>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

him with his own spear
<02595>_.

{great...: Heb. measure}

11:24

These [things] did
<06213> (8804)

Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>_,

and had the name
<08034>

among the three
<07969>

mighties
<01368>_.

11:25

Behold
<02009>_,

he was honourable
<03513> (8737)

among the thirty
<07970>_,

but attained
<0935> (8804)

not to the [first] three
<07969>_:

and David
<01732>

set
<07760> (8799)

him over his guard
<04928>_.

11:26

Also the valiant men
<01368>

for [there was] joy
<08057>

in Israel
<03478>_.

{meat...: or, victual of meal}

13:1

And David
<01732>

consulted
<03289> (8735)

with the captains
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>

and hundreds
<03967>_,

[and] with every leader
<05057>_.

13:2

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>_,

If [it seem] good
<02895> (8804)

unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

let us send
<07971> (8799)

abroad
<06555> (8799)

unto our brethren
<0251>

every where, [that are] left
<07604> (8737)

in all the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and with them [also] to the priests
<03548>

and Levites
<03881>

[which are] in their cities
<05892>

[and] suburbs
<04054>_,

that they may gather
<06908> (8735)

themselves unto us: {send...: Heb. break forth and send} {in their...: Heb. in the cities of their suburbs}

13:3

And let us bring again
<05437> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of our God
<0430>

to us: for we enquired
<01875> (8804)

not at it in the days
<03117>

of Saul
<07586>_.

{bring...: Heb. bring about}

13:4

And all the congregation
<06951>

said
<0559> (8799)

that they would do so
<06213> (8800)_:

for the thing
<01697>

was right
<03474> (8804)

in the eyes
<05869>

of all the people
<05971>_.

13:5

So David
<01732>

gathered
<06950> (0)

all Israel
<03478>

together
<06950> (8686)_,

from Shihor
<07883>

of Egypt
<04714>

even unto the entering
<0935> (8800)

of Hemath
<02574>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

from Kirjathjearim
<07157>_.

13:6

And David
<01732>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and all Israel
<03478>_,

to Baalah
<01173>_,

[that is], to Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,

which [belonged] to Judah
<03063>_,

to bring up
<05927> (8687)

thence the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

the LORD
<03068>_,

that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

[between] the cherubims
<03742>_,

whose name
<08034>

is called
<07121> (8738)

[on it].

13:7

And they carried
<07392> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

in a new
<02319>

cart
<05699>

out of the house
<01004>

of Abinadab
<041>_:

and Uzza
<05798>

and Ahio
<0283>

drave
<05090> (8802)

the cart
<05699>_.

{carried...: Heb. made the ark to ride}

13:8

And David
<01732>

and all Israel
<03478>

played
<07832> (8764)

before
<06440>

God
<0430>

with all [their] might
<05797>_,

and with singing
<07892>_,

and with harps
<03658>_,

and with psalteries
<05035>_,

and with timbrels
<08596>_,

and with cymbals
<04700>_,

and with trumpets
<02689>_.

{singing: Heb. songs}

13:9

And when they came
<0935> (8799)

unto the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Chidon
<03592>_,

Uzza
<05798>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

to hold
<0270> (8800)

the ark
<0727>_;

for the oxen
<01241>

stumbled
<08058> (8804)_.

{Chidon: also called Nachon} {stumbled: or, shook it}

13:10

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Uzza
<05798>_,

and he smote
<05221> (8686)

him, because he put
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

to the ark
<0727>_:

and there he died
<04191> (8799)

before
<06440>

God
<0430>_.

13:11

And David
<01732>

was displeased
<02734> (8799)_,

because the LORD
<03068>

had made
<06555> (8804)

a breach
<06556>

upon Uzza
<05798>_:

wherefore that place
<04725>

is called
<07121> (8799)

Perezuzza
<06560>

to this day
<03117>_.

{Perezuzza: that is, The breach of Uzza}

13:12

And David
<01732>

was afraid
<03372> (8799)

of God
<0430>

that day
<03117>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

How
<01963>

shall I bring
<0935> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

[home] to me?

13:13

So David
<01732>

brought
<05493> (8689)

not the ark
<0727>

[home] to himself to the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

but carried it aside
<05186> (8686)

into the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

the Gittite
<01663>_.

{brought: Heb. removed}

13:14

And the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

remained
<03427> (8799)

with the family
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

in his house
<01004>

three
<07969>

months
<02320>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>_,

and all that he had.

14:1

Now Hiram
<02438> (8676) <02361>

king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to David
<01732>_,

and timber
<06086>

of cedars
<0730>_,

with masons
<07023>

and carpenters
<02796>_,

to build
<01129> (8800)

him an house
<01004>_.

14:2

And David
<01732>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

had confirmed
<03559> (8689)

him king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

for his kingdom
<04438>

was lifted up
<05375> (8738)

on high
<04605>_,

because of his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

14:3

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

more wives
<0802>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_:

and David
<01732>

begat
<03205> (8686)

more sons
<01121>

and daughters
<01323>_.

{more: Heb. yet}

14:4

Now these [are] the names
<08034>

of [his] children
<03205> (8803)

which he had in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

Shammua
<08051>_,

and Shobab
<07727>_,

Nathan
<05416>_,

and Solomon
<08010>_,

14:5

And Ibhar
<02984>_,

and Elishua
<0474>_,

and Elpalet
<0467>_,

14:6

And Nogah
<05052>_,

and Nepheg
<05298>_,

and Japhia
<03309>_,

14:7

And Elishama
<0476>_,

and Beeliada
<01182>_,

and Eliphalet
<0467>_.

{Beeliada: also called, Eliada}

14:8

And when the Philistines
<06430>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that David
<01732>

was anointed
<04886> (8738)

king
<04428>

over all Israel
<03478>_,

all the Philistines
<06430>

went up
<05927> (8799)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

David
<01732>_.

And David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], and went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<06440>

them.

14:9

And the Philistines
<06430>

came
<0935> (8804)

and spread
<06584> (8799)

themselves in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

14:10

And David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of God
<0430>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I go up
<05927> (8799)

against the Philistines
<06430>_?

and wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8804)

them into mine hand
<03027>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go up
<05927> (8798)_;

for I will deliver
<05414> (8804)

them into thine hand
<03027>_.

14:11

So they came up
<05927> (8799)

to Baalperazim
<01188>_;

and David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them there. Then David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

God
<0430>

hath broken in
<06555> (8804)

upon mine enemies
<0341> (8802)

by mine hand
<03027>

like the breaking forth
<06556>

of waters
<04325>_:

therefore they called
<07121> (8804)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Baalperazim
<01188>_.

{Baalperazim: that is, A place of breaches}

14:12

And when they had left
<05800> (8799)

their gods
<0430>

there, David
<01732>

gave a commandment
<0559> (8799)_,

and they were burned
<08313> (8735)

with fire
<0784>_.

14:13

And the Philistines
<06430>

yet again
<03254> (8686)

spread themselves abroad
<06584> (8799)

in the valley
<06010>_.

14:14

Therefore David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

again of God
<0430>_;

and God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Go not up
<05927> (8799)

after
<0310>

them; turn away
<05437> (8685)

from them, and come
<0935> (8804)

upon them over against
<04136>

the mulberry trees
<01057>_.

14:15

And it shall be, when thou shalt hear
<08085> (8800)

a sound
<06963>

of going
<06807>

in the tops
<07218>

of the mulberry trees
<01057>_,

[that] then thou shalt go out
<03318> (8799)

to battle
<04421>_:

for God
<0430>

is gone forth
<03318> (8804)

before
<06440>

thee to smite
<05221> (8687)

the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

14:16

David
<01732>

therefore did
<06213> (8799)

as God
<0430>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

him: and they smote
<05221> (8686)

the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>

from Gibeon
<01391>

even to Gazer
<01507>_.

{Gibeon: also called, Geba}

14:17

And the fame
<08034>

of David
<01732>

went out
<03318> (8799)

into all lands
<0776>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

brought
<05414> (8804)

the fear
<06343>

of him upon all nations
<01471>_.

15:1

And [David] made
<06213> (8799)

him houses
<01004>

in the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

and prepared
<03559> (8686)

a place
<04725>

for the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_,

and pitched
<05186> (8799)

for it a tent
<0168>_.

15:2

Then David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

None ought to carry
<05375> (8800)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

but the Levites
<03881>_:

for them hath the LORD
<03068>

chosen
<0977> (8804)

to carry
<05375> (8800)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_,

and to minister
<08334> (8763)

unto him for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

{None...: Heb. It is not to carry the ark of God, but for the Levites}

15:3

And David
<01732>

gathered
<06950> (0)

all Israel
<03478>

together
<06950> (8686)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to bring up
<05927> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto his place
<04725>_,

which he had prepared
<03559> (8689)

for it.

15:4

And David
<01732>

assembled
<0622> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>_,

and the Levites
<03881>_:

15:5

Of the sons
<01121>

of Kohath
<06955>_;

Uriel
<0222>

the chief
<08269>_,

and his brethren
<0251>

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>_:

{brethren: or, kinsmen}

15:6

Of the sons
<01121>

of Merari
<04847>_;

Asaiah
<06222>

the chief
<08269>_,

and his brethren
<0251>

two hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>_:

15:7

Of the sons
<01121>

of Gershom
<01647>_;

Joel
<03100>

the chief
<08269>_,

and his brethren
<0251>

an hundred
<03967>

and thirty
<07970>_:

15:8

Of the sons
<01121>

of Elizaphan
<0469>_;

Shemaiah
<08098>

the chief
<08269>_,

and his brethren
<0251>

two hundred
<03967>_:

15:9

Of the sons
<01121>

of Hebron
<02275>_;

Eliel
<0447>

the chief
<08269>_,

and his brethren
<0251>

fourscore
<08084>_:

15:10

Of the sons
<01121>

of Uzziel
<05816>_;

Amminadab
<05992>

the chief
<08269>_,

and his brethren
<0251>

an hundred
<03967>

and twelve
<08147> <06240>_.

15:11

And David
<01732>

called
<07121> (8799)

for Zadok
<06659>

and Abiathar
<054>

the priests
<03548>_,

and for the Levites
<03881>_,

for Uriel
<0222>_,

Asaiah
<06222>_,

and Joel
<03100>_,

Shemaiah
<08098>_,

and Eliel
<0447>_,

and Amminadab
<05992>_,

15:12

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye [are] the chief
<07218>

of the fathers
<01>

of the Levites
<03881>_:

sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves, [both] ye and your brethren
<0251>_,

that ye may bring up
<05927> (8689)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

unto [the place that] I have prepared
<03559> (8689)

for it.

15:13

For because ye [did it] not at the first
<07223>_,

the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

made a breach
<06555> (8804)

upon us, for that we sought
<01875> (8804)

him not after the due order
<04941>_.

15:14

So the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

sanctified
<06942> (8691)

themselves to bring up
<05927> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

15:15

And the children
<01121>

of the Levites
<03881>

bare
<05375> (8799)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

upon their shoulders
<03802>

with the staves
<04133>

thereon, as Moses
<04872>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

15:16

And David
<01732>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to the chief
<08269>

of the Levites
<03881>

to appoint
<05975> (8687)

their brethren
<0251>

[to be] the singers
<07891> (8789)

with instruments
<03627>

of musick
<07892>_,

psalteries
<05035>

and harps
<03658>

and cymbals
<04700>_,

sounding
<08085> (8688)_,

by lifting up
<07311> (8687)

the voice
<06963>

with joy
<08057>_.

15:17

So the Levites
<03881>

appointed
<05975> (8686)

Heman
<01968>

the son
<01121>

of Joel
<03100>_;

and of his brethren
<0251>_,

Asaph
<0623>

the son
<01121>

of Berechiah
<01296>_;

and of the sons
<01121>

of Merari
<04847>

their brethren
<0251>_,

Ethan
<0387>

the son
<01121>

of Kushaiah
<06984>_;

15:18

And with them their brethren
<0251>

of the second
<04932>

[degree], Zechariah
<02148>_,

Ben
<01122>_,

and Jaaziel
<03268>_,

and Shemiramoth
<08070>_,

and Jehiel
<03171>_,

and Unni
<06042>_,

Eliab
<0446>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>_,

and Maaseiah
<04641>_,

and Mattithiah
<04993>_,

and Elipheleh
<0466>_,

and Mikneiah
<04737>_,

and Obededom
<05654>_,

and Jeiel
<03273>_,

the porters
<07778>_.

15:19

So the singers
<07891> (8789)_,

Heman
<01968>_,

Asaph
<0623>_,

and Ethan
<0387>_,

[were appointed] to sound
<08085> (8687)

with cymbals
<04700>

of brass
<05178>_;

15:20

And Zechariah
<02148>_,

and Aziel
<05815>_,

and Shemiramoth
<08070>_,

and Jehiel
<03171>_,

and Unni
<06042>_,

and Eliab
<0446>_,

<0466>_,

<04737>_,

and Obededom
<05654>_,

<03273>_,

and Azaziah
<05812>_,

<03658>

on the Sheminith
<08067>

to excel
<05329> (8763)_.

{on the...: or, on the eighth to oversee}

15:22

And Chenaniah
<03663>_,

chief
<08269>

of the Levites
<03881>_,

[was] for song
<04853>_:

he instructed
<03256>

about the song
<04853>_,

because he [was] skilful
<0995> (8688)_.

{was for...: or, was for the carriage: he instructed about the carriage} {song: Heb. lifting up}

15:23

And Berechiah
<01296>

and Elkanah
<0511>

[were] doorkeepers
<07778>

for the ark
<0727>_.

15:24

And Shebaniah
<07645>_,

and Jehoshaphat
<03146>_,

and Nethaneel
<05417>_,

and Amasai
<06022>_,

and Zechariah
<02148>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>_,

and Eliezer
<0461>_,

the priests
<03548>_,

did blow
<02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)

with the trumpets
<02689>

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_:

and Obededom
<05654>

and Jehiah
<03174>

[were] doorkeepers
<07778>

for the ark
<0727>_.

15:25

So David
<01732>_,

and the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the captains
<08269>

over thousands
<0505>_,

went
<01980> (8802)

to bring up
<05927> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

out of the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

with joy
<08057>_.

15:26

And it came to pass, when God
<0430>

helped
<05826> (8800)

the Levites
<03881>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that they offered
<02076> (8799)

seven
<07651>

bullocks
<06499>

and seven
<07651>

rams
<0352>_.

15:27

And David
<01732>

[was] clothed
<03736> (8794)

with a robe
<04598>

of fine linen
<0948>_,

and all the Levites
<03881>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>_,

and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,

and Chenaniah
<03663>

the master
<08269>

of the song
<04853>

with the singers
<07891> (8789)_:

David
<01732>

also [had] upon him an ephod
<0646>

of linen
<0906>_.

{song: or, carriage}

15:28

Thus all Israel
<03478>

brought up
<05927> (8688)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

with shouting
<08643>_,

and with sound
<06963>

of the cornet
<07782>_,

and with trumpets
<02689>_,

and with cymbals
<04700>_,

making a noise
<08085> (8688)

with psalteries
<05035>

and harps
<03658>_.

15:29

And it came to pass, [as] the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<0935> (8804)

to the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

that Michal
<04324>

the daughter
<01323>

of Saul
<07586>

looking out
<08259> (8738)

at a window
<02474>

saw
<07200> (8799)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

dancing
<07540> (8764)

and playing
<07832> (8764)_:

and she despised
<0959> (8799)

him in her heart
<03820>_.

16:1

So they brought
<0935> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_,

and set
<03322> (8686)

it in the midst
<08432>

of the tent
<0168>

that David
<01732>

had pitched
<05186> (8804)

for it: and they offered
<07126> (8686)

burnt sacrifices
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>

before
<06440>

God
<0430>_.

16:2

And when David
<01732>

had made an end
<03615> (8762)

of offering
<05927> (8687)

the burnt offerings
<05930>

and the peace offerings
<08002>_,

he blessed
<01288> (8762)

the people
<05971>

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

16:3

And he dealt
<02505> (8762)

to every one
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

both man
<0376>

and woman
<0802>_,

to every one
<0376>

a loaf
<03603>

of bread
<03899>_,

and a good piece of flesh
<0829>_,

and a flagon
<0809>

[of wine].

16:4

And he appointed
<05414> (8799)

[certain] of the Levites
<03881>

to minister
<08334> (8764)

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and to record
<02142> (8687)_,

and to thank
<03034> (8687)

and praise
<01984> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_:

16:5

Asaph
<0623>

the chief
<07218>_,

and next
<04932>

to him Zechariah
<02148>_,

Jeiel
<03273>_,

and Shemiramoth
<08070>_,

and Jehiel
<03171>_,

and Mattithiah
<04993>_,

and Eliab
<0446>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>_,

and Obededom
<05654>_:

and Jeiel
<03273>

with psalteries
<05035> <03627>

and with harps
<03658>_;

but Asaph
<0623>

made a sound
<08085> (8688)

with cymbals
<04700>_;

{with psalteries...: Heb. with instruments of psalteries and harps}

16:6

Benaiah
<01141>

also and Jahaziel
<03166>

the priests
<03548>

with trumpets
<02689>

continually
<08548>

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of God
<0430>_.

16:7

Then on that day
<03117>

David
<01732>

delivered
<05414> (8804)

first
<07218>

[this psalm] to thank
<03034> (8687)

the LORD
<03068>

into the hand
<03027>

of Asaph
<0623>

and his brethren
<0251>_.

16:8

Give thanks
<03034> (8685)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

call
<07121> (8798)

upon his name
<08034>_,

make known
<03045> (8685)

his deeds
<05949>

among the people
<05971>_.

16:9

Sing
<07891> (8798)

unto him, sing psalms
<02167> (8761)

unto him, talk
<07878> (8798)

ye of all his wondrous
<06381> (8737)

works.

16:10

Glory
<01984> (8690)

ye in his holy
<06944>

name
<08034>_:

let the heart
<03820>

of them rejoice
<08055> (8799)

that seek
<01245> (8764)

the LORD
<03068>_.

16:11

Seek
<01875> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>

and his strength
<05797>_,

seek
<01245> (8761)

his face
<06440>

continually
<08548>_.

16:12

Remember
<02142> (8798)

his marvellous
<06381> (8737)

works that he hath done
<06213> (8804)_,

his wonders
<04159>_,

and the judgments
<04941>

of his mouth
<06310>_;

16:13

O ye seed
<02233>

of Israel
<03478>

his servant
<05650>_,

ye children
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

his chosen ones
<0972>_.

16:14

He [is] the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_;

his judgments
<04941>

[are] in all the earth
<0776>_.

16:15

Be ye mindful
<02142> (8798)

always
<05769>

of his covenant
<01285>_;

the word
<01697>

[which] he commanded
<06680> (8765)

to a thousand
<0505>

generations
<01755>_;

16:16

[Even of the covenant] which he made
<03772> (8804)

with Abraham
<085>_,

and of his oath
<07621>

unto Isaac
<03327>_;

16:17

And hath confirmed
<05975> (8686)

the same to Jacob
<03290>

for a law
<02706>_,

[and] to Israel
<03478>

[for] an everlasting
<05769>

covenant
<01285>_,

16:18

Saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Unto thee will I give
<05414> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

the lot
<02256>

of your inheritance
<05159>_;

{the lot: Heb. the cord}

16:19

When ye were but few
<04557> <04962>_,

even a few
<04592>_,

and strangers
<01481> (8802)

in it. {few, even: Heb. men of number, etc}

16:20

And [when] they went
<01980> (8691)

from nation
<01471>

to nation
<01471>_,

and from [one] kingdom
<04467>

to another
<0312>

people
<05971>_;

16:21

He suffered
<03240> (8689)

no man
<0376>

to do them wrong
<06231> (8800)_:

yea, he reproved
<03198> (8686)

kings
<04428>

for their sakes,

16:22

[Saying], Touch
<05060> (8799)

not mine anointed
<04899>_,

and do my prophets
<05030>

no harm
<07489> (8686)_.

16:23

Sing
<07891> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

all the earth
<0776>_;

shew forth
<01319> (8761)

from day
<03117>

to day
<03117>

his salvation
<03444>_.

16:24

Declare
<05608> (8761)

his glory
<03519>

among the heathen
<01471>_;

his marvellous works
<06381> (8737)

among all nations
<05971>_.

16:25

For great
<01419>

[is] the LORD
<03068>_,

and greatly
<03966>

to be praised
<01984> (8794)_:

he also [is] to be feared
<03372> (8737)

above all gods
<0430>_.

16:26

For all the gods
<0430>

of the people
<05971>

[are] idols
<0457>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

made
<06213> (8804)

the heavens
<08064>_.

16:27

Glory
<01935>

and honour
<01926>

[are] in his presence
<06440>_;

strength
<05797>

and gladness
<02304>

[are] in his place
<04725>_.

16:28

Give
<03051> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

ye kindreds
<04940>

of the people
<05971>_,

give
<03051> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>

glory
<03519>

and strength
<05797>_.

16:29

Give
<03051> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>

the glory
<03519>

[due] unto his name
<08034>_:

bring
<05375> (8798)

an offering
<04503>_,

and come
<0935> (8798)

before
<06440>

him: worship
<07812> (8690)

the LORD
<03068>

in the beauty
<01927>

of holiness
<06944>_.

16:30

Fear
<02342> (8798)

before
<06440>

him, all the earth
<0776>_:

the world
<08398>

also shall be stable
<03559> (8735)_,

that it be not moved
<04131> (8735)_.

16:31

Let the heavens
<08064>

be glad
<08055> (8799)_,

and let the earth
<0776>

rejoice
<01523> (8799)_:

and let [men] say
<0559> (8799)

among the nations
<01471>_,

The LORD
<03068>

reigneth
<04427> (8804)_.

16:32

Let the sea
<03220>

roar
<07481> (8799)_,

and the fulness
<04393>

thereof: let the fields
<07704>

rejoice
<05970> (8799)_,

and all that [is] therein.

16:33

Then shall the trees
<06086>

of the wood
<03293>

sing out
<07442> (8762)

at the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

because he cometh
<0935> (8804)

to judge
<08199> (8800)

the earth
<0776>_.

16:34

O give thanks
<03034> (8685)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

for [he is] good
<02896>_;

for his mercy
<02617>

[endureth] for ever
<05769>_.

16:35

And say
<0559> (8798)

ye, Save
<03467> (8685)

us, O God
<0430>

of our salvation
<03468>_,

and gather us together
<06908> (8761)_,

and deliver
<05337> (8685)

us from the heathen
<01471>_,

that we may give thanks
<03034> (8687)

to thy holy
<06944>

name
<08034>_,

[and] glory
<07623> (8692)

in thy praise
<08416>_.

16:36

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

for ever
<05769>

and ever
<05769>_.

And all the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amen
<0543>_,

and praised
<01984> (8763)

the LORD
<03068>_.

16:37

So he left
<05800> (8799)

there before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

Asaph
<0623>

and his brethren
<0251>_,

to minister
<08334> (8763)

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

continually
<08548>_,

as every day's
<03117>

work
<01697>

required
<03117>_:

16:38

And Obededom
<05654>

with their brethren
<0251>_,

threescore
<08346>

and eight
<08083>_;

Obededom
<05654>

also the son
<01121>

of Jeduthun
<03038>

and Hosah
<02621>

[to be] porters
<07778>_:

16:39

And Zadok
<06659>

the priest
<03548>_,

and his brethren
<0251>

the priests
<03548>_,

before
<06440>

the tabernacle
<04908>

of the LORD
<03068>

in the high place
<01116>

that [was] at Gibeon
<01391>_,

16:40

To offer
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>

unto the LORD
<03068>

upon the altar
<04196>

of the burnt offering
<05930>

continually
<08548>

morning
<01242>

and evening
<06153>_,

and [to do] according to all that is written
<03789> (8803)

in the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

Israel
<03478>_;

{morning...: Heb. in the morning, and in the evening}

16:41

And with them Heman
<01968>

and Jeduthun
<03038>_,

and the rest
<07605>

that were chosen
<01305> (8803)_,

who were expressed
<05344> (8738)

by name
<08034>_,

to give thanks
<03034> (8687)

to the LORD
<03068>_,

because his mercy
<02617>

[endureth] for ever
<05769>_;

16:42

And with them Heman
<01968>

and Jeduthun
<03038>

with trumpets
<02689>

and cymbals
<04700>

for those that should make a sound
<08085> (8688)_,

and with musical
<07892>

instruments
<03627>

of God
<0430>_.

And the sons
<01121>

of Jeduthun
<03038>

[were] porters
<08179>_.

{porters: Heb. for the gate}

16:43

And all the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)

every man
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_:

and David
<01732>

returned
<05437> (8735)

to bless
<01288> (8763)

his house
<01004>_.

17:1

Now it came to pass, as David
<01732>

sat
<03427> (8804)

in his house
<01004>_,

that David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_,

Lo, I dwell
<03427> (8802)

in an house
<01004>

of cedars
<0730>_,

but the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

[remaineth] under curtains
<03407>_.

17:2

Then Nathan
<05416>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Do
<06213> (8798)

all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_;

for God
<0430>

[is] with thee.

17:3

And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,

that the word
<01697>

of God
<0430>

came to Nathan
<05416>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:4

Go
<03212> (8798)

and tell
<0559> (8804)

David
<01732>

my servant
<05650>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)

me an house
<01004>

to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_:

17:5

For I have not dwelt in
<03427> (8804)

an house
<01004>

since the day
<03117>

that I brought up
<05927> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

unto this day
<03117>_;

but have gone from tent
<0168>

to tent
<0168>_,

and from [one] tabernacle
<04908>

[to another]. {have gone: Heb. have been}

17:6

Wheresoever I have walked
<01980> (8694)

with all Israel
<03478>_,

spake
<01696> (8765)

I a word
<01697>

to any
<0259>

of the judges
<08199> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_,

whom I commanded
<06680> (8765)

to feed
<07462> (8800)

my people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Why have ye not built
<01129> (8804)

me an house
<01004>

of cedars
<0730>_?

17:7

Now therefore thus shalt thou say
<0559> (8799)

unto my servant
<05650>

David
<01732>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

I took
<03947> (8804)

thee from the sheepcote
<05116>_,

[even] from following
<0310>

the sheep
<06629>_,

that thou shouldest be ruler
<05057>

over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_:

{from following: Heb. from after}

17:8

And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked
<01980> (8804)_,

and have cut off
<03772> (8686)

all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

from before
<06440>

thee, and have made
<06213> (8804)

thee a name
<08034>

like the name
<08034>

of the great men
<01419>

that [are] in the earth
<0776>_.

17:9

Also I will ordain
<07760> (8804)

a place
<04725>

for my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and will plant
<05193> (8804)

them, and they shall dwell
<07931> (8804)

in their place, and shall be moved
<07264> (8799)

no more; neither shall the children
<01121>

of wickedness
<05766>

waste
<01086> (8763)

them any more
<03254> (8686)_,

as at the beginning
<07223>_,

17:10

And since the time
<03117>

that I commanded
<06680> (8765)

judges
<08199> (8802)

[to be] over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

Moreover I will subdue
<03665> (8689)

all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

Furthermore I tell
<05046> (8686)

thee that the LORD
<03068>

will build
<01129> (8799)

thee an house
<01004>_.

17:11

And it shall come to pass, when thy days
<03117>

be expired
<04390> (8804)

that thou must go
<03212> (8800)

[to be] with thy fathers
<01>_,

that I will raise up
<06965> (8689)

thy seed
<02233>

after
<0310>

thee, which shall be of thy sons
<01121>_;

and I will establish
<03559> (8689)

his kingdom
<04438>_.

17:12

He shall build
<01129> (8799)

me an house
<01004>_,

and I will stablish
<03559> (8790)

his throne
<03678>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

17:13

I will be his father
<01>_,

and he shall be my son
<01121>_:

and I will not take
<05493> (0)

my mercy
<02617>

away
<05493> (8686)

from him, as I took
<05493> (8689)

[it] from [him] that was before
<06440>

thee:

17:14

But I will settle
<05975> (8689)

him in mine house
<01004>

and in my kingdom
<04438>

for ever
<05769>_:

and his throne
<03678>

shall be established
<03559> (8737)

for
<05704>

evermore
<05769>_.

17:15

According to all these words
<01697>_,

and according to all this vision
<02377>_,

so did Nathan
<05416>

speak
<01696> (8765)

unto David
<01732>_.

17:16

And David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

came
<0935> (8799)

and sat
<03427> (8799)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [am] I, O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

and what [is] mine house
<01004>_,

that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

me hitherto
<01988>_?

17:17

And [yet] this was a small thing
<06994> (8799)

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

O God
<0430>_;

for thou hast [also] spoken
<01696> (8762)

of thy servant's
<05650>

house
<01004>

for a great while to come
<07350>_,

and hast regarded
<07200> (8804)

me according to the estate
<08448>

of a man
<0120>

of high degree
<04609>_,

O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_.

17:18

What can
<03254> (0)

David
<01732>

[speak] more
<03254> (8686)

to thee for the honour
<03519>

of thy servant
<05650>_?

for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

thy servant
<05650>_.

17:19

O LORD
<03068>_,

for thy servant's
<05650>

sake, and according to thine own heart
<03820>_,

hast thou done
<06213> (8804)

all this greatness
<01420>_,

in making known
<03045> (8687)

all [these] great things
<01420>_.

{great...: Heb. greatnesses}

17:20

O LORD
<03068>_,

[there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God
<0430>

beside
<02108>

thee, according to all that we have heard
<08085> (8804)

with our ears
<0241>_.

17:21

And what one
<0259>

nation
<01471>

in the earth
<0776>

[is] like thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

whom God
<0430>

went
<01980> (8804)

to redeem
<06299> (8800)

[to be] his own people
<05971>_,

to make
<07760> (8800)

thee a name
<08034>

of greatness
<01420>

and terribleness
<03372> (8737)_,

by driving out
<01644> (8763)

nations
<01471>

from before
<06440>

thy people
<05971>_,

whom thou hast redeemed
<06299> (8804)

out of Egypt
<04714>_?

17:22

For thy people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

didst thou make
<05414> (8799)

thine own people
<05971>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_;

and thou, LORD
<03068>_,

becamest their God
<0430>_.

17:23

Therefore now, LORD
<03068>_,

let the thing
<01697>

that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning thy servant
<05650>

and concerning his house
<01004>

be established
<0539> (8735)

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_.

17:24

Let it even be established
<0539> (8735)_,

that thy name
<08034>

may be magnified
<01431> (8799)

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[even] a God
<0430>

to Israel
<03478>_:

and [let] the house
<01004>

of David
<01732>

thy servant
<05650>

[be] established
<03559> (8737)

before
<06440>

thee.

17:25

For thou, O my God
<0430>_,

hast told
<01540> (8804) <0241>

thy servant
<05650>

that thou wilt build
<01129> (8800)

him an house
<01004>_:

therefore thy servant
<05650>

hath found
<04672> (8804)

[in his heart] to pray
<06419> (8692)

before
<06440>

thee. {hast...: Heb. hast revealed the ear of thy servant}

17:26

And now, LORD
<03068>_,

thou art God
<0430>_,

and hast promised
<01696> (8762)

this goodness
<02896>

unto thy servant
<05650>_:

17:27

Now therefore let it please
<02974> (8689)

thee to bless
<01288> (8763)

the house
<01004>

of thy servant
<05650>_,

that it may be before
<06440>

thee for ever
<05769>_:

for thou blessest
<01288> (8765)_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

and [it shall be] blessed
<01288> (8794)

for ever
<05769>_.

{let...: or, it hath pleased thee}

18:1

Now after this
<0310>

it came to pass, that David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and subdued
<03665> (8686)

them, and took
<03947> (8799)

Gath
<01661>

and her towns
<01323>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

18:2

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

Moab
<04124>_;

and the Moabites
<04124>

became David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

[and] brought
<05375> (8802)

gifts
<04503>_.

18:3

And David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Hadarezer
<01928>

king
<04428>

of Zobah
<06678>

unto Hamath
<02574>_,

as he went
<03212> (8800)

to stablish
<05324> (8687)

his dominion
<03027>

by the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>_.

{Hadarezer: or, Hadadezer}

18:4

And David
<01732>

took
<03920> (8799)

from him a thousand
<0505>

chariots
<07393>_,

and seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

horsemen
<06571>_,

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<0376> <07273>_:

David
<01732>

also houghed
<06131> (8762)

all the chariot
<07393>

[horses], but reserved
<03498> (8686)

of them an hundred
<03967>

chariots
<07393>_.

{seven...: or, seven hundred}

18:5

And when the Syrians
<0758>

of Damascus
<01834>

came
<0935> (8799)

to help
<05826> (8800)

Hadarezer
<01928>

king
<04428>

of Zobah
<06678>_,

David
<01732>

slew
<05221> (8686)

of the Syrians
<0758>

two
<08147>

and twenty
<06242>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

{Damascus: Heb. Darmesek}

18:6

Then David
<01732>

put
<07760> (8799)

[garrisons] in Syriadamascus
<0758> <01834>_;

and the Syrians
<0758>

became David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

[and] brought
<05375> (8802)

gifts
<04503>_.

Thus the LORD
<03068>

preserved
<03467> (8686)

David
<01732>

whithersoever he went
<01980> (8804)_.

18:7

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the shields
<07982>

of gold
<02091>

that were on the servants
<05650>

of Hadarezer
<01928>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

18:8

Likewise from Tibhath
<02880>_,

and from Chun
<03560>_,

cities
<05892>

of Hadarezer
<01928>_,

brought
<03947> (8804)

David
<01732>

very
<03966>

much
<07227>

brass
<05178>_,

wherewith Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8804)

the brasen
<05178>

sea
<03220>_,

and the pillars
<05982>_,

and the vessels
<03627>

of brass
<05178>_.

{Tibhath...: called in the book of Samuel Betah, and Berothai}

18:9

Now when Tou
<08583>

king
<04428>

of Hamath
<02574>

heard
<08085> (8799)

how David
<01732>

had smitten
<05221> (8689)

all the host
<02428>

of Hadarezer
<01928>

king
<04428>

of Zobah
<06678>_;

{Tou: also called, Toi}

18:10

He sent
<07971> (8799)

Hadoram
<01913>

his son
<01121>

to king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

to enquire
<07592> (8800)

of his welfare
<07965>_,

and to congratulate
<01288> (8763)

him, because he had fought
<03898> (8738)

against Hadarezer
<01928>_,

and smitten
<05221> (8686)

him; (for Hadarezer
<01928>

had war
<0376> <04421>

with Tou
<08583>;)

and [with him] all manner of vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>

and brass
<05178>_.

{Hadoram: also called, Joram} {to enquire...: or, to salute} {to congratulate: Heb. to bless} {had war: Heb. was the man of wars}

18:11

Them also king
<04428>

David
<01732>

dedicated
<06942> (8689)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

with the silver
<03701>

and the gold
<02091>

that he brought
<05375> (8804)

from all [these] nations
<01471>_;

from Edom
<0123>_,

and from Moab
<04124>_,

and from the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and from the Philistines
<06430>_,

and from Amalek
<06002>_.

18:12

Moreover Abishai
<052>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

slew
<05221> (8689)

of the Edomites
<0123>

in the valley
<01516>

of salt
<04417>

eighteen
<08083> <06240>

thousand
<0505>_.

{Abishai: Heb. Abshai}

18:13

And he put
<07760> (8799)

garrisons
<05333>

in Edom
<0123>_;

and all the Edomites
<0123>

became David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_.

Thus the LORD
<03068>

preserved
<03467> (8686)

David
<01732>

whithersoever he went
<01980> (8804)_.

18:14

So David
<01732>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

over all Israel
<03478>_,

and executed
<06213> (8802)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>

among all his people
<05971>_.

18:15

And Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

[was] over the host
<06635>_;

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the son
<01121>

of Ahilud
<0286>_,

recorder
<02142> (8688)_.

{recorder: or, remembrancer}

18:16

And Zadok
<06659>

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

and Abimelech
<040>

the son
<01121>

of Abiathar
<054>_,

[were] the priests
<03548>_;

and Shavsha
<07798>

was scribe
<05608> (8802)_;

{Abimelech: also called, Ahimelech} {Shavsha: also called Seraiah or Shisha}

18:17

And Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

[was] over the Cherethites
<03774>

and the Pelethites
<06432>_;

and the sons
<01121>

of David
<01732>

[were] chief
<07223>

about
<03027>

the king
<04428>_.

{about...: Heb. at the hand of the king}

19:1

Now it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that Nahash
<05176>

the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and his son
<01121>

reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead.

19:2

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will shew
<06213> (8799)

kindness
<02617>

unto Hanun
<02586>

the son
<01121>

of Nahash
<05176>_,

because his father
<01>

shewed
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

to me. And David
<01732>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to comfort
<05162> (8763)

him concerning his father
<01>_.

So the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

to Hanun
<02586>_,

to comfort
<05162> (8763)

him.

19:3

But the princes
<08269>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Hanun
<02586>_,

Thinkest
<05869>

thou that David
<01732>

doth honour
<03513> (8764)

thy father
<01>_,

that he hath sent
<07971> (8804)

comforters
<05162> (8764)

unto thee? are not his servants
<05650>

come
<0935> (8804)

unto thee for to search
<02713> (8800)_,

and to overthrow
<02015> (8800)_,

and to spy out
<07270> (8763)

the land
<0776>_?

{Thinkest...: Heb. In thine eyes doth David, etc}

19:4

Wherefore Hanun
<02586>

took
<03947> (8799)

David's
<01732>

servants
<05650>_,

and shaved
<01548> (8762)

them, and cut off
<03772> (8799)

their garments
<04063>

in the midst
<02677>

hard by their buttocks
<04667>_,

and sent them away
<07971> (8762)_.

19:5

Then there went
<03212> (8799)

[certain], and told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

how the men
<0582>

were served. And he sent
<07971> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them: for the men
<0582>

were greatly
<03966>

ashamed
<03637> (8737)_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Tarry
<03427> (8798)

at Jericho
<03405>

until your beards
<02206>

be grown
<06779> (8762)_,

and [then] return
<07725> (8804)_.

19:6

And when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they had made themselves odious
<0887> (8694)

to David
<01732>_,

Hanun
<02586>

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

sent
<07971> (8799)

a thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>

to hire
<07936> (8800)

them chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>

out of Mesopotamia
<0763>_,

and out of Syriamaachah
<0758> <04601>_,

and out of Zobah
<06678>_.

{odious: Heb. to stink}

19:7

So they hired
<07936> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

and two
<08147>

thousand
<0505>

chariots
<07393>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Maachah
<04601>

and his people
<05971>_;

who came
<0935> (8799)

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

before
<06440>

Medeba
<04311>_.

And the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)

from their cities
<05892>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to battle
<04421>_.

19:8

And when David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], he sent
<07971> (8799)

Joab
<03097>_,

and all the host
<06635>

of the mighty men
<01368>_.

19:9

And the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

came out
<03318> (8799)_,

and put the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

before the gate
<06607>

of the city
<05892>_:

and the kings
<04428>

that were come
<0935> (8804)

[were] by themselves in the field
<07704>_.

19:10

Now when Joab
<03097>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the battle
<04421>

was set against him before
<06440>

and behind
<0268>_,

he chose out
<0977> (8799)

of all the choice
<0977> (8803)

of Israel
<03478>_,

and put [them] in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Syrians
<0758>_.

{the battle...: Heb. the face of the battle was} {choice: or, young men}

19:11

And the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

he delivered
<05414> (8804)

unto the hand
<03027>

of Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>_,

and they set [themselves] in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

{Abishai: Heb. Abshai}

19:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

If the Syrians
<0758>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for me, then thou shalt help
<08668>

me: but if the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

be too strong
<02388> (8799)

for thee, then I will help
<03467> (8689)

thee.

19:13

Be of good courage
<02388> (8798)_,

and let us behave ourselves valiantly
<02388> (8691)

for our people
<05971>_,

and for the cities
<05892>

of our God
<0430>_:

and let the LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in his sight
<05869>_.

19:14

So Joab
<03097>

and the people
<05971>

that [were] with him drew nigh
<05066> (8799)

before
<06440>

the Syrians
<0758>

unto the battle
<04421>_;

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

19:15

And when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

saw
<07200> (8804)

that the Syrians
<0758>

were fled
<05127> (8804)_,

they likewise fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>_,

and entered
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_.

Then Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

19:16

And when the Syrians
<0758>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they were put to the worse
<05062> (8738)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

they sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>_,

and drew forth
<03318> (8686)

the Syrians
<0758>

that [were] beyond
<05676>

the river
<05104>_:

and Shophach
<07780>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>

of Hadarezer
<01928>

[went] before
<06440>

them. {river: that is, Euphrates} {Shophach: also called, Shobach}

19:17

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

David
<01732>_;

and he gathered
<0622> (8799)

all Israel
<03478>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

upon them, and set [the battle] in array
<06186> (8799)

against them. So when David
<01732>

had put the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Syrians
<0758>_,

they fought
<03898> (8735)

with him.

19:18

But the Syrians
<0758>

fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_;

and David
<01732>

slew
<02026> (8799)

of the Syrians
<0758>

seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

[men which fought in] chariots
<07393>_,

and forty
<0705>

thousand
<0505>

footmen
<0376> <07273>_,

and killed
<04191> (8689)

Shophach
<07780>

the captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>_.

19:19

And when the servants
<05650>

of Hadarezer
<01928>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that they were put to the worse
<05062> (8738)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_,

they made peace
<07999> (8686)

with David
<01732>_,

and became his servants
<05647> (8799)_:

neither would
<014> (8804)

the Syrians
<0758>

help
<03467> (8687)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

any more.

20:1

And it came to pass, that after
<06256>

the year
<08141>

was expired
<08666>_,

at the time
<06256>

that kings
<04428>

go out
<03318> (8800)

[to battle], Joab
<03097>

led forth
<05090> (8799)

the power
<02428>

of the army
<06635>_,

and wasted
<07843> (8686)

the country
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

Rabbah
<07237>_.

But David
<01732>

tarried
<03427> (8802)

at Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And Joab
<03097>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Rabbah
<07237>_,

and destroyed
<02040> (8799)

it. {after...: Heb. at the return of the year}

20:2

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the crown
<05850>

of their king
<04428>

from off his head
<07218>_,

and found
<04672> (8799)

it to weigh
<04948>

a talent
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and [there were] precious
<03368>

stones
<068>

in it; and it was set upon David's
<01732>

head
<07218>_:

and he brought
<03318> (8689)

also exceeding
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)

spoil
<07998>

out of the city
<05892>_.

{to weigh: Heb. the weight of}

20:3

And he brought out
<03318> (8689)

the people
<05971>

that [were] in it, and cut
<07787> (8799)

[them] with saws
<04050>_,

and with harrows
<02757>

of iron
<01270>_,

and with axes
<04050>_.

Even so dealt
<06213> (8799)

David
<01732>

with all the cities
<05892>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

And David
<01732>

and all the people
<05971>

returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

20:4

And it came to pass after this
<0310>_,

that there arose
<05975> (8799)

war
<04421>

at Gezer
<01507>

with the Philistines
<06430>_;

at which time
<0227>

Sibbechai
<05444>

the Hushathite
<02843>

slew
<05221> (8689)

Sippai
<05598>_,

[that was] of the children
<03211>

of the giant
<07497>_:

and they were subdued
<03665> (8735)_.

{arose: or, continued: Heb. stood} {Gezer: also called, Gob} {Sippai: also called, Saph} {the giant: or, Rapha}

20:5

And there was war
<04421>

again with the Philistines
<06430>_;

and Elhanan
<0445>

the son
<01121>

of Jair
<03265>

slew
<05221> (8686)

Lahmi
<03902>

the brother
<0251>

of Goliath
<01555>

the Gittite
<01663>_,

whose spear
<02595>

staff
<06086>

[was] like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)

beam
<04500>_.

{Jair: also called, Jaareoregim}

20:6

And yet again there was war
<04421>

at Gath
<01661>_,

where was a man
<0376>

of [great] stature
<04060>_,

whose fingers
<0676>

and toes
<0676>

[were] four
<0702>

and twenty
<06242>_,

six
<08337>

[on each hand], and six
<08337>

[on each foot]: and he also was the son
<03205> (8738)

of the giant
<07497>_.

{great...: Heb. measure} {the son...: Heb. born to the giant, or, Rapha}

20:7

But when he defied
<02778> (8762)

Israel
<03478>_,

Jonathan
<03083>

the son
<01121>

of Shimea
<08092>

David's
<01732>

brother
<0251>

slew
<05221> (8686)

him. {defied: or, reproached} {Shimea: also called Shammah}

20:8

These
<0411>

were born
<03205> (8738)

unto the giant
<07497>

in Gath
<01661>_;

and they fell
<05307> (8799)

by the hand
<03027>

of David
<01732>_,

and by the hand
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>_.

21:1

And Satan
<07854>

stood up
<05975> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and provoked
<05496> (8686)

David
<01732>

to number
<04487> (8800)

Israel
<03478>_.

21:2

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Joab
<03097>

and to the rulers
<08269>

of the people
<05971>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

number
<05608> (8798)

Israel
<03478>

from Beersheba
<0884>

even to Dan
<01835>_;

and bring
<0935> (8685)

the number
<04557>

of them to me, that I may know
<03045> (8799)

[it].

21:3

And Joab
<03097>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

make his people
<05971>

an hundred
<03967>

times
<06471>

so many more
<03254> (8686)

as they
<01992>

[be]: but, my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>_,

[are] they not all my lord's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_?

why then doth my lord
<0113>

require
<01245> (8762)

this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass
<0819>

to Israel
<03478>_?

21:4

Nevertheless the king's
<04428>

word
<01697>

prevailed
<02388> (8804)

against Joab
<03097>_.

Wherefore Joab
<03097>

departed
<03318> (8799)_,

and went
<01980> (8691)

throughout all Israel
<03478>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

21:5

And Joab
<03097>

gave
<05414> (8799)

the sum
<04557>

of the number
<04662>

of the people
<05971>

unto David
<01732>_.

And all [they of] Israel
<03478>

were a thousand
<0505>

thousand
<0505>

and an hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

sword
<02719>_:

and Judah
<03063>

[was] four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

threescore and ten
<07657>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

sword
<02719>_.

21:6

But Levi
<03878>

and Benjamin
<01144>

counted
<06485> (8804)

he not among
<08432>

them: for the king's
<04428>

word
<01697>

was abominable
<08581> (8738)

to Joab
<03097>_.

21:7

And God
<0430>

was displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

with this thing
<01697>_;

therefore he smote
<05221> (8686)

Israel
<03478>_.

{And...: Heb. And it was evil in the eyes of the LORD concerning this thing}

21:8

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)

greatly
<03966>_,

because I have done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_:

but now, I beseech thee, do away
<05674> (8685)

the iniquity
<05771>

of thy servant
<05650>_;

for I have done very
<03966>

foolishly
<05528> (8738)_.

21:9

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Gad
<01410>_,

David's
<01732>

seer
<02374>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:10

Go
<03212> (8798)

and tell
<01696> (8765)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

I offer
<05186> (8802)

thee three
<07969>

[things]: choose
<0977> (8798)

thee one
<0259>

of them
<02007>_,

that I may do
<06213> (8799)

[it] unto thee. {offer: Heb. stretch out}

21:11

So Gad
<01410>

came
<0935> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Choose
<06901> (8761)

thee {Choose...: Heb. Take to thee}

21:12

Either three
<07969>

years
<08141>_'

famine
<07458>_;

or three
<07969>

months
<02320>

to be destroyed
<05595> (8737)

before
<06440>

thy foes
<06862>_,

while that the sword
<02719>

of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

overtaketh
<05381> (8688)

[thee]; or
<0518>

else three
<07969>

days
<03117>

the sword
<02719>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

even the pestilence
<01698>_,

in the land
<0776>_,

and the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

destroying
<07843> (8688)

throughout all the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_.

Now therefore advise
<07200> (8798)

thyself what word
<01697>

I shall bring again
<07725> (8686)

to him that sent
<07971> (8802)

me.

21:13

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Gad
<01410>_,

I am in a great
<03966>

strait
<06887> (8804)_:

let me fall
<05307> (8799)

now into the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

for very
<03966>

great
<07227>

[are] his mercies
<07356>_:

but let me not fall
<05307> (8799)

into the hand
<03027>

of man
<0120>_.

{very great: or, very many}

21:14

So the LORD
<03068>

sent
<05414> (8799)

pestilence
<01698>

upon Israel
<03478>_:

and there fell
<05307> (8799)

of Israel
<03478>

seventy
<07657>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

21:15

And God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

an angel
<04397>

unto Jerusalem
<03389>

to destroy
<07843> (8687)

it: and as he was destroying
<07843> (8687)_,

the LORD
<03068>

beheld
<07200> (8804)_,

and he repented
<05162> (8735)

him of the evil
<07451>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to the angel
<04397>

that destroyed
<07843> (8688)_,

It is enough
<07227>_,

stay
<07503> (8685)

now thine hand
<03027>_.

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

stood
<05975> (8802)

by the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Ornan
<0771>

the Jebusite
<02983>_.

{Ornan: also called, Araunah}

21:16

And David
<01732>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

stand
<05975> (8802)

between the earth
<0776>

and the heaven
<08064>_,

having a drawn
<08025> (8803)

sword
<02719>

in his hand
<03027>

stretched out
<05186> (8803)

over Jerusalem
<03389>_.

Then David
<01732>

and the elders
<02205>

[of Israel, who were] clothed
<03680> (8794)

in sackcloth
<08242>_,

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon their faces
<06440>_.

21:17

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto God
<0430>_,

[Is it] not I [that] commanded
<0559> (8804)

the people
<05971>

to be numbered
<04487> (8800)_?

even I it is that have sinned
<02398> (8804)

and done evil
<07489> (8689)

indeed
<07489> (8687)_;

but [as for] these sheep
<06629>_,

what have they done
<06213> (8804)_?

let thine hand
<03027>_,

I pray thee, O LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

be on me, and on my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_;

but not on thy people
<05971>_,

that they should be plagued
<04046>_.

21:18

Then the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<0559> (8804)

Gad
<01410>

to say
<0559> (8800)

to David
<01732>_,

that David
<01732>

should go up
<05927> (8799)_,

and set up
<06965> (8687)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>

in the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Ornan
<0771>

the Jebusite
<02983>_.

21:19

And David
<01732>

went up
<05927> (8799)

at the saying
<01697>

of Gad
<01410>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

21:20

And Ornan
<0771>

turned back
<07725> (8799)_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the angel
<04397>_;

and his four
<0702>

sons
<01121>

with him hid
<02244> (8693)

themselves. Now Ornan
<0771>

was threshing
<01758> (8804)

wheat
<02406>_.

{And Ornan...: or, When Ornan turned back and saw the angel, then he and his four sons with him hid themselves}

21:21

And as David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>_,

Ornan
<0771>

looked
<05027> (8686)

and saw
<07200> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

of the threshingfloor
<01637>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself to David
<01732>

with [his] face
<0639>

to the ground
<0776>_.

21:22

Then David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>_,

Grant
<05414> (8798)

me the place
<04725>

of [this] threshingfloor
<01637>_,

that I may build
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

therein unto the LORD
<03068>_:

thou shalt grant
<05414> (8798)

it me for the full
<04392>

price
<03701>_:

that the plague
<04046>

may be stayed
<06113> (8735)

from the people
<05971>_.

{Grant: Heb. Give}

21:23

And Ornan
<0771>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

[it] to thee, and let my lord
<0113>

the king
<04428>

do
<06213> (8799)

[that which is] good
<02896>

in his eyes
<05869>_:

lo
<07200> (8798)_,

I give
<05414> (8804)

[thee] the oxen
<01241>

[also] for burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and the threshing instruments
<04173>

for wood
<06086>_,

and the wheat
<02406>

for the meat offering
<04503>_;

I give
<05414> (8804)

it all.

21:24

And king
<04428>

David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>_,

Nay; but I will verily
<07069> (8800)

buy
<07069> (8799)

it for the full
<04392>

price
<03701>_:

for I will not take
<05375> (8799)

[that] which [is] thine for the LORD
<03068>_,

nor offer
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>

without cost
<02600>_.

21:25

So David
<01732>

gave
<05414> (8799)

to Ornan
<0771>

for the place
<04725>

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of gold
<02091>

by weight
<04948>_.

21:26

And David
<01732>

built
<01129> (8799)

there an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

upon the LORD
<03068>_;

and he answered
<06030> (8799)

him from heaven
<08064>

by fire
<0784>

upon the altar
<04196>

of burnt offering
<05930>_.

21:27

And the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

the angel
<04397>_;

and he put up
<07725> (0)

his sword
<02719>

again
<07725> (8686)

into the sheath
<05084>

thereof.

21:28

At that time
<06256>

when David
<01732>

saw
<07200> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

had answered
<06030> (8804)

him in the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Ornan
<0771>

the Jebusite
<02983>_,

then he sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

there.

21:29

For the tabernacle
<04908>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which Moses
<04872>

made
<06213> (8804)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and the altar
<04196>

of the burnt offering
<05930>_,

[were] at that season
<06256>

in the high place
<01116>

at Gibeon
<01391>_.

21:30

But David
<01732>

could
<03201> (8804)

not go
<03212> (8800)

before
<06440>

it to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of God
<0430>_:

for he was afraid
<01204> (8738)

because
<06440>

of the sword
<02719>

of the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
