1 Chronicles 17:1--21:30

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>_.
