2 Samuel 5:1--6:23

5:1

Then came
<0935> (8799)

all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

to David
<01732>

unto Hebron
<02275>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, we [are] thy bone
<06106>

and thy flesh
<01320>_.

5:2

Also in time past
<0865> <08032>_,

when Saul
<07586>

was king
<04428>

over us, thou wast he that leddest out
<03318> (8688)

and broughtest in
<0935> (8688)

Israel
<03478>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

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

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and thou shalt be a captain
<05057>

over Israel
<03478>_.

5:3

So all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>

to Hebron
<02275>_;

and king
<04428>

David
<01732>

made
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with them in Hebron
<02275>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

and they anointed
<04886> (8799)

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_.

5:4

David
<01732>

[was] thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)_,

[and] he reigned
<04427> (8804)

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_.

5:5

In Hebron
<02275>

he reigned
<04427> (8804)

over Judah
<03063>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>

and six
<08337>

months
<02320>_:

and in Jerusalem
<03389>

he reigned
<04427> (8804)

thirty
<07970>

and three
<07969>

years
<08141>

over all Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_.

5:6

And the king
<04428>

and his men
<0582>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the Jebusites
<02983>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_:

which spake
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Except thou take away
<05493> (8687)

the blind
<05787>

and the lame
<06455>_,

thou shalt not come in
<0935> (8799)

hither: thinking
<0559> (8800)_,

David
<01732>

cannot come in
<0935> (8799)

hither. {thinking...: or, saying David shall not, etc}

5:7

Nevertheless David
<01732>

took
<03920> (8799)

the strong hold
<04686>

of Zion
<06726>_:

the same [is] the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

5:8

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

on that day
<03117>_,

Whosoever getteth up
<05060> (8799)

to the gutter
<06794>_,

and smiteth
<05221> (8688)

the Jebusites
<02983>_,

and the lame
<06455>

and the blind
<05787>_,

[that are] hated
<08130> (8803)

of David's
<01732>

soul
<05315>_,

[he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The blind
<05787>

and the lame
<06455>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>_.

{Wherefore...: or, Because they had said, even the blind and the lame, He shall not}

5:9

So David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the fort
<04686>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

it the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

And David
<01732>

built
<01129> (8799)

round about
<05439>

from Millo
<04407>

and inward
<01004>_.

5:10

And David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8800)_,

and grew great
<01419>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>

[was] with him. {went...: Heb. went, going and growing}

5:11

And Hiram
<02438>

king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

to David
<01732>_,

and cedar
<0730>

trees
<06086>_,

and carpenters
<02796>_,

and masons
<07023> <068>_:

and they built
<01129> (8799)

David
<01732>

an house
<01004>_.

{masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall}

5:12

And David
<01732>

perceived
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

had established
<03559> (8689)

him king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

and that he had exalted
<05375> (8765)

his kingdom
<04467>

for his people
<05971>

Israel's
<03478>

sake.

5:13

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

[him] more concubines
<06370>

and wives
<0802>

out of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

after
<0310>

he was come
<0935> (8800)

from Hebron
<02275>_:

and there were yet sons
<01121>

and daughters
<01323>

born
<03205> (8735)

to David
<01732>_.

5:14

And these [be] the names
<08034>

of those that were born
<03209>

unto him in Jerusalem
<03389>_;

Shammua
<08051>_,

and Shobab
<07727>_,

and Nathan
<05416>_,

and Solomon
<08010>_,

5:15

Ibhar
<02984>

also, and Elishua
<0474>_,

and Nepheg
<05298>_,

and Japhia
<03309>_,

5:16

And Elishama
<0476>_,

and Eliada
<0450>_,

and Eliphalet
<0467>_.

5:17

But when the Philistines
<06430>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that they had anointed
<04886> (8804)

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

all the Philistines
<06430>

came up
<05927> (8799)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

David
<01732>_;

and David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], and went down
<03381> (8799)

to the hold
<04686>_.

5:18

The Philistines
<06430>

also came
<0935> (8804)

and spread
<05203> (8735)

themselves in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

5:19

And David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Shall I go up
<05927> (8799)

to the Philistines
<06430>_?

wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8799)

them into mine hand
<03027>_?

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Go up
<05927> (8798)_:

for I will doubtless
<05414> (8800)

deliver
<05414> (8799)

the Philistines
<06430>

into thine hand
<03027>_.

5:20

And David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Baalperazim
<01188>_,

and David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8686)

them there, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath broken forth
<06555> (8804)

upon mine enemies
<0341> (8802)

before
<06440>

me, as the breach
<06556>

of waters
<04325>_.

Therefore he called
<07121> (8804)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Baalperazim
<01188>_.

{Baalperazim: that is, the plain of breaches}

5:21

And there they left
<05800> (8799)

their images
<06091>_,

and David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

burned
<05375> (8799)

them. {burned...: or, took them away}

5:22

And the Philistines
<06430>

came up
<05927> (8800)

yet again
<03254> (8686)_,

and spread
<05203> (8735)

themselves in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

5:23

And when David
<01732>

enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt not go up
<05927> (8799)_;

[but] fetch a compass
<05437> (8685)

behind
<0310>

them, and come
<0935> (8804)

upon them over against
<04136>

the mulberry trees
<01057>_.

5:24

And let it be, when thou hearest
<08085> (8800)

the sound
<06963>

of a going
<06807>

in the tops
<07218>

of the mulberry trees
<01057>_,

that then thou shalt bestir
<02782> (8799)

thyself: for then shall the LORD
<03068>

go out
<03318> (8804)

before
<06440>

thee, to smite
<05221> (8687)

the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

5:25

And David
<01732>

did so
<06213> (8799)_,

as the LORD
<03068>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him; and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>

from Geba
<01387>

until thou come
<0935> (8800)

to Gazer
<01507>_.

{Geba: also called, Gibeon}

6:1

Again, David
<01732>

gathered together
<0622> (8799) (8676) <03254> (8686)

all [the] chosen
<0977> (8803)

[men] of Israel
<03478>_,

thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>_.

6:2

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

with all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him from Baale of Judah
<01184>_,

to bring up
<05927> (8687)

from thence the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_,

whose name
<08034>

is called
<07121> (8738)

by the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

[between] the cherubims
<03742>_.

{Baale: or, Baalah, that is, Kirjathjearim} {whose name...: or, at which the name, even the name of the LORD of hosts, was called upon}

6:3

And they set
<07392> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

upon a new
<02319>

cart
<05699>_,

and brought
<05375> (8799)

it out of the house
<01004>

of Abinadab
<041>

that [was] in Gibeah
<01390>_:

and Uzzah
<05798>

and Ahio
<0283>_,

the sons
<01121>

of Abinadab
<041>_,

drave
<05090> (8802)

the new
<02319>

cart
<05699>_.

{set: Heb. made to ride} {Gibeah: or, the hill}

6:4

And they brought
<05375> (8799)

it out of the house
<01004>

of Abinadab
<041>

which [was] at Gibeah
<01390>_,

accompanying
<05973>

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_:

and Ahio
<0283>

went
<01980> (8802)

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>_.

{accompanying: Heb. with}

6:5

And David
<01732>

and all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

played
<07832> (8764)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

on all manner of [instruments made of] fir
<01265>

wood
<06086>_,

even on harps
<03658>_,

and on psalteries
<05035>_,

and on timbrels
<08596>_,

and on cornets
<04517>_,

and on cymbals
<06767>_.

6:6

And when they came
<0935> (8799)

to Nachon's
<05225>

threshingfloor
<01637>_,

Uzzah
<05798>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

[his hand] to the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_,

and took hold
<0270> (8799)

of it; for the oxen
<01241>

shook
<08058> (8804)

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

6:7

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against Uzzah
<05798>_;

and God
<0430>

smote
<05221> (8686)

him there for [his] error
<07944>_;

and there he died
<04191> (8799)

by the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_.

{error: or, rashness}

6:8

And David
<01732>

was displeased
<02734> (8799)_,

because the LORD
<03068>

had made
<06555> (8804)

a breach
<06556>

upon Uzzah
<05798>_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

the name of the place
<04725>

Perezuzzah
<06560>

to this day
<03117>_.

{made: Heb. broken} {Perezuzzah: that is, the breach of Uzzah}

6:9

And David
<01732>

was afraid
<03372> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

that day
<03117>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

How shall the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

come
<0935> (8799)

to me?

6:10

So David
<01732>

would
<014> (8804)

not remove
<05493> (8687)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto him into the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_:

but David
<01732>

carried it aside
<05186> (8686)

into the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

the Gittite
<01663>_.

6:11

And the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

continued
<03427> (8799)

in the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

the Gittite
<01663>

three
<07969>

months
<02320>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

Obededom
<05654>_,

and all his household
<01004>_.

6:12

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>_,

and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_.

So David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

and brought up
<05927> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

from the house
<01004>

of Obededom
<05654>

into the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>

with gladness
<08057>_.

6:13

And it was [so], that when they that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

had gone
<06805> (8804)

six
<08337>

paces
<06806>_,

he sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

oxen
<07794>

and fatlings
<04806>_.

6:14

And David
<01732>

danced
<03769> (8772)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

with all [his] might
<05797>_;

and David
<01732>

[was] girded
<02296> (8803)

with a linen
<0906>

ephod
<0646>_.

6:15

So David
<01732>

and all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

brought up
<05927> (8688)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

with shouting
<08643>_,

and with the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_.

6:16

And as the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<0935> (8802)

into the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_,

Michal
<04324>

Saul's
<07586>

daughter
<01323>

looked
<08259> (8738)

through a window
<02474>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

king
<04428>

David
<01732>

leaping
<06339> (8764)

and dancing
<03769> (8772)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

and she despised
<0959> (8799)

him in her heart
<03820>_.

6:17

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

in the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and set
<03322> (8686)

it in his place
<04725>_,

in the midst
<08432>

of the tabernacle
<0168>

that David
<01732>

had pitched
<05186> (8804)

for it: and David
<01732>

offered
<05927> (8686)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

{pitched: Heb. stretched}

6:18

And as soon as David
<01732>

had made an end
<03615> (8762)

of offering
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>

and peace offerings
<08002>_,

he blessed
<01288> (8762)

the people
<05971>

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

6:19

And he dealt
<02505> (8762)

among all the people
<05971>_,

[even] among the whole multitude
<01995>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as well to the women
<0802>

as men
<0376>_,

to every one
<0376>

a
<0259>

cake
<02471>

of bread
<03899>_,

and a good piece
<0829>

[of flesh], and a flagon
<0809>

[of wine]. So all the people
<05971>

departed
<03212> (8799)

every one
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_.

6:20

Then David
<01732>

returned
<07725> (8799)

to bless
<01288> (8763)

his household
<01004>_.

And Michal
<04324>

the daughter
<01323>

of Saul
<07586>

came out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

How glorious
<03513> (8738)

was the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

to day
<03117>_,

who uncovered
<01540> (8738)

himself to day
<03117>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the handmaids
<0519>

of his servants
<05650>_,

as one
<0259>

of the vain fellows
<07386>

shamelessly
<01540> (8736)

uncovereth
<01540> (8736)

himself! {shamelessly: or, openly}

6:21

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Michal
<04324>_,

[It was] before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

which chose
<0977> (8804)

me before thy father
<01>_,

and before all his house
<01004>_,

to appoint
<06680> (8763)

me ruler
<05057>

over the people
<05971>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

over Israel
<03478>_:

therefore will I play
<07832> (8765)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

6:22

And I will yet be more vile
<07043> (8738)

than thus
<02063>_,

and will be base
<08217>

in mine own sight
<05869>_:

and of the maidservants
<0519>

which thou hast spoken
<0559> (8804)

of, of them shall I be had in honour
<03513> (8735)_.

{of the...: or, of the handmaids of my servants}

6:23

Therefore Michal
<04324>

the daughter
<01323>

of Saul
<07586>

had no child
<02056> (8675) <03206>

unto the day
<03117>

of her death
<04194>_.
