1 Chronicles 17:1--22:19

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>_.

22:1

Then David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

and this [is] the altar
<04196>

of the burnt offering
<05930>

for Israel
<03478>_.

22:2

And David
<01732>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

to gather together
<03664> (8800)

the strangers
<01616>

that [were] in the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and he set
<05975> (8686)

masons
<02672> (8802)

to hew
<02672> (8800)

wrought
<01496>

stones
<068>

to build
<01129> (8800)

the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.

22:3

And David
<01732>

prepared
<03559> (8689)

iron
<01270>

in abundance
<07230>

for the nails
<04548>

for the doors
<01817>

of the gates
<08179>_,

and for the joinings
<04226>_;

and brass
<05178>

in abundance
<07230>

without weight
<04948>_;

22:4

Also cedar
<0730>

trees
<06086>

in abundance
<0369> <04557>_:

for the Zidonians
<06722>

and they of Tyre
<06876>

brought
<0935> (8689)

much
<07230>

cedar
<0730>

wood
<06086>

to David
<01732>_.

22:5

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Solomon
<08010>

my son
<01121>

[is] young
<05288>

and tender
<07390>_,

and the house
<01004>

[that is] to be builded
<01129> (8800)

for the LORD
<03068>

[must be] exceeding
<04605>

magnifical
<01431> (8687)_,

of fame
<08034>

and of glory
<08597>

throughout all countries
<0776>_:

I will [therefore] now make preparation
<03559> (8686)

for it. So David
<01732>

prepared
<03559> (8686)

abundantly
<07230>

before
<06440>

his death
<04194>_.

22:6

Then he called
<07121> (8799)

for Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_,

and charged
<06680> (8762)

him to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:7

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

My son
<01121>_,

as for me, it was in my mind
<03824>

to build
<01129> (8800)

an house
<01004>

unto the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_:

22:8

But the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thou hast shed
<08210> (8804)

blood
<01818>

abundantly
<07230>_,

and hast made
<06213> (8804)

great
<01419>

wars
<04421>_:

thou shalt not build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

unto my name
<08034>_,

because thou hast shed
<08210> (8804)

much
<07227>

blood
<01818>

upon the earth
<0776>

in my sight
<06440>_.

22:9

Behold, a son
<01121>

shall be born
<03205> (8737)

to thee, who shall be a man
<0376>

of rest
<04496>_;

and I will give him rest
<05117> (8689)

from all his enemies
<0341> (8802)

round about
<05439>_:

for his name
<08034>

shall be Solomon
<08010>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

peace
<07965>

and quietness
<08253>

unto Israel
<03478>

in his days
<03117>_.

{Solomon: that is, Peaceable}

22:10

He shall build
<01129> (8799)

an house
<01004>

for my name
<08034>_;

and he shall be my son
<01121>_,

and I [will be] his father
<01>_;

and I will establish
<03559> (8689)

the throne
<03678>

of his kingdom
<04438>

over Israel
<03478>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

22:11

Now, my son
<01121>_,

the LORD
<03068>

be with thee; and prosper
<06743> (8689)

thou, and build
<01129> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

as he hath said
<01696> (8765)

of thee.

22:12

Only the LORD
<03068>

give
<05414> (8799)

thee wisdom
<07922>

and understanding
<0998>_,

and give thee charge
<06680> (8762)

concerning Israel
<03478>_,

that thou mayest keep
<08104> (8800)

the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

22:13

Then shalt thou prosper
<06743> (8686)_,

if thou takest heed
<08104> (8799)

to fulfil
<06213> (8800)

the statutes
<02706>

and judgments
<04941>

which the LORD
<03068>

charged
<06680> (8765)

Moses
<04872>

with concerning Israel
<03478>_:

be strong
<02388> (8798)_,

and of good courage
<0553> (8798)_;

dread
<03372> (8799)

not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_.

22:14

Now, behold, in my trouble
<06040>

I have prepared
<03559> (8689)

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

an hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and a thousand
<0505>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>_;

and of brass
<05178>

and iron
<01270>

without weight
<04948>_;

for it is in abundance
<07230>_:

timber
<06086>

also and stone
<068>

have I prepared
<03559> (8689)_;

and thou mayest add
<03254> (8686)

thereto. {trouble: or, poverty}

22:15

Moreover [there are] workmen
<06213> (8802) <04399>

with thee in abundance
<07230>_,

hewers
<02672> (8802)

and workers
<02796>

of stone
<068>

and timber
<06086>_,

and all manner of cunning men
<02450>

for every manner of work
<04399>_.

{workers...: that is, masons and carpenters}

22:16

Of the gold
<02091>_,

the silver
<03701>_,

and the brass
<05178>_,

and the iron
<01270>_,

[there is] no number
<04557>_.

Arise
<06965> (8798)

[therefore], and be doing
<06213> (8798)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

be with thee.

22:17

David
<01732>

also commanded
<06680> (8762)

all the princes
<08269>

of Israel
<03478>

to help
<05826> (8800)

Solomon
<08010>

his son
<01121>_,

[saying],

22:18

[Is] not the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

with you? and hath he [not] given you rest
<05117> (8689)

on every side
<05439>_?

for he hath given
<05414> (8804)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

into mine hand
<03027>_;

and the land
<0776>

is subdued
<03533> (8738)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and before
<06440>

his people
<05971>_.

22:19

Now set
<05414> (8798)

your heart
<03824>

and your soul
<05315>

to seek
<01875> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_;

arise
<06965> (8798)

therefore, and build
<01129> (8798)

ye the sanctuary
<04720>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the holy
<06944>

vessels
<03627>

of God
<0430>_,

into the house
<01004>

that is to be built
<01129> (8737)

to the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.
