and the house of their
fathers increased greatly.
13:004:039 And they went to the
entrance of Gedor, even unto the east
side of the valley, to
seek pasture for their flocks.
13:004:040 And they found fat
pasture and good, and the land was wide,
and quiet, and
peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of
old.
13:004:041 And these written by
name came in the days of Hezekiah king of
Judah, and smote their
tents, and the habitations that were
found there, and
destroyed them utterly unto this day, and
dwelt in their rooms:
because there was pasture there for
their flocks.
13:004:042 And some of them, even
of the sons of Simeon, five hundred
men, went to mount Seir,
having for their captains Pelatiah,
and Neariah, and

13:004:043 And they smote the rest
of the Amalekites that were escaped,
and dwelt there unto
this day.
13:005:001 Now the sons of Reuben
the firstborn of Israel, (for he was
the firstborn; but
forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed,
his birthright was
given unto the sons of Joseph the son of
Israel: and the
genealogy is not to be reckoned after the
birthright.
13:005:002 For Judah prevailed
above his brethren, and of him came the
chief ruler; but the
birthright was Joseph's:)
13:005:003 The sons, I say, of

Hanoch, and Pallu,

Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried
away captive: he was
prince of the Reubenites.
13:005:007 And his brethren by
their families, when the genealogy of
their generations was
reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and
Zechariah,
13:005:008 And Bela the son of
Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,
who dwelt in Aroer,
even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:
13:005:009 And eastward he
inhabited unto the entering in of the
wilderness from the
river Euphrates: because their cattle were
multiplied in the land
of Gilead.
13:005:010 And in the days of Saul
they made war with the Hagarites, who
fell by their hand: and
they dwelt in their tents throughout
all the east land of
Gilead.
13:005:011 And the children of Gad
dwelt over against them, in the land
of Bashan unto Salcah:
13:005:012 Joel the chief, and

in Bashan.
13:005:013 And their brethren of

and skilful in war, were four and forty
thousand seven hundred
and threescore, that went out to the
war.
13:005:019 And they made war with
the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish,
and Nodab.
13:005:020 And they were helped
against them, and the Hagarites were
delivered into their
hand, and all that were with them: for
they cried to God in
the battle, and he was intreated of them;
because they put their
trust in him.
13:005:021 And they took away
their cattle; of their camels fifty
thousand, and of sheep
two hundred and fifty thousand, and of
asses two thousand, and
of men an hundred thousand.
13:005:022 For there fell down
many slain, because the war was of God.
And they dwelt in their
steads until the captivity.
13:005:023 And the children of the

their fathers.
13:005:025 And they transgressed
against the God of their fathers, and
went a whoring after
the gods of the people of the land, whom
God destroyed before
them.
13:005:026 And the God of Israel
stirred up the spirit of Pul king of
Assyria, and the spirit
of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria,
and he carried them
away, even the Reubenites, and the

children of Pharez the son of Judah.
13:009:005 And of the Shilonites;
Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
13:009:006 And of the sons of
Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six
hundred and ninety.
13:009:007 And of the sons of
Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the
son of Hodaviah, the
son of Hasenuah,
13:009:008 And Ibneiah the son of
Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the
son of Michri, and
Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son
of Reuel, the son of
Ibnijah;
13:009:009 And their brethren,
according to their generations, nine
hundred and fifty and
six. All these men were chief of the
fathers in the house of
their fathers.
13:009:010 And of the priests;
Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
13:009:011 And Azariah the son of
Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son
of Zadok, the son of
Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of
the house of God;
13:009:012 And Adaiah the son of
Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of
Malchijah, and Maasiai
the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah,
the son of Meshullam,
the son of Meshillemith, the son of
Immer;
13:009:013 And their brethren,
heads of the house of their fathers, a
thousand and seven
hundred and threescore; very able men for
the work of the service
of the house of God.
13:009:014 And of the Levites;
Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of
Azrikam, the son of
Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
13:009:015 And Bakbakkar, Heresh,
and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of
Micah, the son of
Zichri, the son of Asaph;
13:009:016 And Obadiah the son of
Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of
Jeduthun, and Berechiah
the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah,
that dwelt in the
villages of the Netophathites.
13:009:017 And the porters were,
Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and
Ahiman, and their
brethren: Shallum was the chief;
13:009:018 Who hitherto waited in
the king's gate eastward: they were
porters in the
companies of the children of Levi.
13:009:019 And Shallum the son of
Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of
Korah, and his
brethren, of the house of his father, the
Korahites, were over
the work of the service, keepers of the
gates of the
tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the
host of the LORD, were
keepers of the entry.
13:009:020 And Phinehas the son of
Eleazar was the ruler over them in
time past, and the LORD
was with him.
13:009:021 And Zechariah the son
of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of
the tabernacle of the
congregation.
13:009:022 All these which were
chosen to be porters in the gates were
two hundred and twelve.
These were reckoned by their genealogy
in their villages, whom
David and Samuel the seer did ordain
in their set office.
13:009:023 So they and their
children had the oversight of the gates of
the house of the LORD,
namely, the house of the tabernacle, by
wards.
13:009:024 In four quarters were
the porters, toward the east, west,
north, and south.
13:009:025 And their brethren,
which were in their villages, were to come
after seven days from
time to time with them.
13:009:026 For these Levites, the
four chief porters, were in their set
office, and were over
the chambers and treasuries of the house
of God.
13:009:027 And they lodged round
about the house of God, because the
charge was upon them,
and the opening thereof every morning
pertained to them.
13:009:028 And certain of them had
the charge of the ministering vessels,
that they should bring
them in and out by tale.
13:009:029 Some of them also were
appointed to oversee the vessels, and
all the instruments of
the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and
the wine, and the oil,
and the frankincense, and the spices.
13:009:030 And some of the sons of
the priests made the ointment of the
spices.
13:009:031 And Mattithiah, one of
the Levites, who was the firstborn of
Shallum the Korahite,
had the set office over the things that
were made in the pans.
13:009:032 And other of their
brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites,
were over the shewbread,
to prepare it every sabbath.
13:009:033 And these are the
singers, chief of the fathers of the
Levites, who remaining
in the chambers were free: for they
were employed in that
work day and night.
13:009:034 These chief fathers of
the Levites were chief throughout their
generations; these
dwelt at Jerusalem.
13:009:035 And in Gibeon dwelt the
father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's
name was Maachah:
13:009:036 And his firstborn son
Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and
Ner, and Nadab.
13:009:037 And Gedor, and Ahio,
and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
13:009:038 And Mikloth begat
Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their
brethren at Jerusalem,
over against their brethren.
13:009:039 And Ner begat Kish; and
Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat
Jonathan, and
Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
13:009:040 And the son of Jonathan
was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat
Micah.
13:009:041 And the sons of Micah
were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea,
and Ahaz.
13:009:042 And Ahaz begat Jarah;
and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth,
and Zimri; and Zimri
begat Moza;
13:009:043 And Moza begat Binea;
and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son,
Azel his son.
13:009:044 And Azel had six sons,
whose names are these, Azrikam,
Bocheru, and Ishmael,
and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan:
these were the sons of
Azel.
13:010:001 Now the Philistines
fought against Israel; and the men of
Israel fled from before
the Philistines, and fell down slain
in mount Gilboa.
13:010:002 And the Philistines
followed hard after Saul, and after his
sons; and the
Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and
Malchishua, the sons of
Saul.
13:010:003 And the battle went
sore against Saul, and the archers hit
him, and he was wounded
of the archers.
13:010:004 Then said Saul to his
armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust
me through therewith;
lest these uncircumcised come and abuse
me. But his
armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So
Saul took a sword, and
fell upon it.
13:010:005 And when his
armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
likewise on the sword,
and died.
13:010:006 So Saul died, and his
three sons, and all his house died
together.
13:010:007 And when all the men of
Israel that were in the valley saw
that they fled, and
that Saul and his sons were dead, then
they forsook their
cities, and fled: and the Philistines came
and dwelt in them.
13:010:008 And it came to pass on
the morrow, when the Philistines came
to strip the slain,
that they found Saul and his sons fallen
in mount Gilboa.
13:010:009 And when they had
stripped him, they took his head, and his
armour, and sent into
the land of the Philistines round about,
to carry tidings unto
their idols, and to the people.
13:010:010 And they put his armour
in the house of their gods, and
fastened his head in
the temple of Dagon.
13:010:011 And when all
Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had
done to Saul,
13:010:012 They arose, all the
valiant men, and took away the body of
Saul, and the bodies of
his sons, and brought them to Jabesh,
and buried their bones
under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted
seven days.
13:010:013 So Saul died for his
transgression which he committed against
the LORD, even against
the word of the LORD, which he kept
not, and also for
asking counsel of one that had a familiar
spirit, to enquire of
it;
13:010:014 And enquired not of the
LORD: therefore he slew him, and
turned the kingdom unto
David the son of Jesse.
13:011:001 Then all Israel
gathered themselves to David unto Hebron,
saying, Behold, we are
thy bone and thy flesh.
13:011:002 And moreover in time
past, even when Saul was king, thou wast
he that leddest out and
broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy
God said unto thee,
Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou
shalt be ruler over my
people Israel.
13:011:003 Therefore came all the
elders of Israel to the king to Hebron;
and David made a
covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD;
and they anointed David
king over Israel, according to the
word of the LORD by
Samuel.
13:011:004 And David and all
Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus;
where the Jebusites
were, the inhabitants of the land.
13:011:005 And the inhabitants of
Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not
come hither.
Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which
is the city of David.
13:011:006 And David said,
Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be
chief and captain. So
Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up,
and was chief.
13:011:007 And David dwelt in the
castle; therefore they called it the
city of David.
13:011:008 And he built the city
round about, even from Millo round
about: and Joab
repaired the rest of the city.
13:011:009 So David waxed greater
and greater: for the LORD of hosts was
with him.
13:011:010 These also are the
chief of the mighty men whom David had, who
strengthened themselves
with him in his kingdom, and with all
Israel, to make him
king, according to the word of the LORD
concerning Israel.
13:011:011 And this is the number
of the mighty men whom David had;
Jashobeam, an
Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted
up his spear against
three hundred slain by him at one time.
13:011:012 And after him was
Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who
was one of the three
mighties.
13:011:013 He was with David at
Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were
gathered together to
battle, where was a parcel of ground full
of barley; and the
people fled from before the Philistines.
13:011:014 And they set themselves
in the midst of that parcel, and
delivered it, and slew
the Philistines; and the LORD saved
them by a great
deliverance.
13:011:015 Now three of the thirty
captains went down to the rock to
David, into the cave of
Adullam; and the host of the
Philistines encamped in
the valley of Rephaim.
13:011:016 And David was then in
the hold, and the Philistines' garrison
was then at Bethlehem.
13:011:017 And David longed, and
said, Oh that one would give me drink of
the water of the well
of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
13:011:018 And the three brake
through the host of the Philistines, and
drew water out of the
well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate,
and took it, and
brought it to David: but David would not
drink of it, but poured
it out to the LORD.
13:011:019 And said, My God forbid
it me, that I should do this thing:
shall I drink the blood
of these men that have put their lives
in jeopardy? for with
the jeopardy of their lives they brought
it. Therefore he would
not drink it. These things did these
three mightiest.
13:011:020 And Abishai the brother
of Joab, he was chief of the three:
for lifting up his
spear against three hundred, he slew them,
and had a name among
the three.
13:011:021 Of the three, he was
more honourable than the two; for he was
their captain: howbeit
he attained not to the first three.
13:011:022 Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of
Kabzeel, who had done
many acts; he slew two lionlike men of
Moab: also he went down
and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy
day.
13:011:023 And he slew an
Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits
high; and in the
Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's
beam; and he went down
to him with a staff, and plucked the
spear out of the
Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own
spear.
13:011:024 These things did
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name
among the three
mighties.
13:011:025 Behold, he was
honourable among the thirty, but attained not
to the first three: and
David set him over his guard.
13:011:026 Also the valiant men of
the armies were, Asahel the brother of
Joab, Elhanan the son
of Dodo of Bethlehem,
13:011:027 Shammoth the Harorite,
Helez the Pelonite,
13:011:028 Ira the son of Ikkesh
the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite,
13:011:029 Sibbecai the Hushathite,
Ilai the Ahohite,
13:011:030 Maharai the
Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the
Netophathite,
13:011:031 Ithai the son of Ribai
of Gibeah, that pertained to the
children of Benjamin,
Benaiah the Pirathonite,
13:011:032 Hurai of the brooks of
Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,
13:011:033 Azmaveth the Baharumite,
Eliahba the Shaalbonite,
13:011:034 The sons of Hashem the
Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the
Hararite,
13:011:035 Ahiam the son of Sacar
the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur,
13:011:036 Hepher the Mecherathite,
Ahijah the Pelonite,
13:011:037 Hezro the Carmelite,
Naarai the son of Ezbai,
13:011:038 Joel the brother of
Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri,
13:011:039 Zelek the Ammonite,
Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of
Joab the son of Zeruiah,
13:011:040 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb
the Ithrite,
13:011:041 Uriah the Hittite,
Zabad the son of Ahlai,
13:011:042 Adina the son of Shiza
the Reubenite, a captain of the
Reubenites, and thirty
with him,
13:011:043 Hanan the son of
Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,
13:011:044 Uzzia the Ashterathite,
Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan
the Aroerite,
13:011:045 Jediael the son of
Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,
13:011:046 Eliel the Mahavite, and
Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of
Elnaam, and Ithmah the
Moabite,
13:011:047 Eliel, and Obed, and
Jasiel the Mesobaite.
13:012:001 Now these are they that
came to David to Ziklag, while he yet
kept himself close
because of Saul the son of Kish: and they
were among the mighty
men, helpers of the war.
13:012:002 They were armed with
bows, and could use both the right hand
and the left in hurling
stones and shooting arrows out of a
bow, even of Saul's
brethren of Benjamin.
13:012:003 The chief was Ahiezer,
then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the
Gibeathite; and Jeziel,
and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and
Berachah, and Jehu the
Antothite.
13:012:004 And Ismaiah the
Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and
over the thirty; and
Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and
Josabad the Gederathite,
13:012:005 Eluzai, and Jerimoth,
and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and
Shephatiah the
Haruphite,
13:012:006 Elkanah, and Jesiah,
and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam,
the Korhites,
13:012:007 And Joelah, and
Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
13:012:008 And of the Gadites
there separated themselves unto David into
the hold to the
wilderness men of might, and men of war fit
for the battle, that
could handle shield and buckler, whose
faces were like the
faces of lions, and were as swift as the
roes upon the
mountains;
13:012:009 Ezer the first, Obadiah
the second, Eliab the third,
13:012:010 Mishmannah the fourth,
Jeremiah the fifth,
13:012:011 Attai the sixth, Eliel
the seventh,
13:012:012 Johanan the eighth,
Elzabad the ninth,
13:012:013 Jeremiah the tenth,
Machbanai the eleventh.
13:012:014 These were of the sons
of Gad, captains of the host: one of
the least was over an
hundred, and the greatest over a
thousand.
13:012:015 These are they that
went over Jordan in the first month, when
it had overflown all
his banks; and they put to flight all
them of the valleys,
both toward the east, and toward the
west.
13:012:016 And there came of the
children of Benjamin and Judah to the
hold unto David.
13:012:017 And David went out to
meet them, and answered and said unto
them, If ye be come
peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart
shall be knit unto you:
but if ye be come to betray me to mine
enemies, seeing there
is no wrong in mine hands, the God of
our fathers look
thereon, and rebuke it.
13:012:018 Then the spirit came
upon Amasai, who was chief of the
captains, and he said,
Thine are we, David, and on thy side,
thou son of Jesse:
peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to
thine helpers; for thy
God helpeth thee. Then David received
them, and made them
captains of the band.
13:012:019 And there fell some of
Manasseh to David, when he came with
the Philistines against
Saul to battle: but they helped them
not: for the lords of
the Philistines upon advisement sent him
away, saying, He will
fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy
of our heads.
13:012:020 As he went to Ziklag,
there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah,
and Jozabad, and
Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu,
and Zilthai, captains
of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
13:012:021 And they helped David
against the band of the rovers: for they
were all mighty men of
valour, and were captains in the host.
13:012:022 For at that time day by
day there came to David to help him,
until it was a great
host, like the host of God.
13:012:023 And these are the
numbers of the bands that were ready armed
to the war, and came to
David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom
of Saul to him,
according to the word of the LORD.
13:012:024 The children of Judah
that bare shield and spear were six
thousand and eight
hundred, ready armed to the war.
13:012:025 Of the children of
Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war,
seven thousand and one
hundred.
13:012:026 Of the children of Levi
four thousand and six hundred.
13:012:027 And Jehoiada was the
leader of the Aaronites, and with him
were three thousand and
seven hundred;
13:012:028 And Zadok, a young man
mighty of valour, and of his father's
house twenty and two
captains.
13:012:029 And of the children of
Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three
thousand: for hitherto
the greatest part of them had kept the
ward of the house of
Saul.
13:012:030 And of the children of
Ephraim twenty thousand and eight
hundred, mighty men of
valour, famous throughout the house of
their fathers.
13:012:031 And of the half tribe
of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which
were expressed by name,
to come and make David king.
13:012:032 And of the children of
Issachar, which were men that had
understanding of the
times, to know what Israel ought to do;
the heads of them were
two hundred; and all their brethren
were at their
commandment.
13:012:033 Of Zebulun, such as
went forth to battle, expert in war, with
all instruments of war,
fifty thousand, which could keep rank:
they were not of double
heart.
13:012:034 And of Naphtali a
thousand captains, and with them with shield
and spear thirty and
seven thousand.
13:012:035 And of the Danites
expert in war twenty and eight thousand and
six hundred.
13:012:036 And of Asher, such as
went forth to battle, expert in war,
forty thousand.
13:012:037 And on the other side
of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the
Gadites, and of the
half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of
instruments of war for
the battle, an hundred and twenty
thousand.
13:012:038 All these men of war,
that could keep rank, came with a
perfect heart to
Hebron, to make David king over all Israel:
and all the rest also
of Israel were of one heart to make
David king.
13:012:039 And there they were
with David three days, eating and
drinking: for their
brethren had prepared for them.
13:012:040 Moreover they that were
nigh them, even unto Issachar and
Zebulun and Naphtali,
brought bread on asses, and on camels,
and on mules, and on
oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and
bunches of raisins, and
wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep
abundantly: for there
was joy in Israel.
13:013:001 And David consulted
with the captains of thousands and
hundreds, and with
every leader.
13:013:002 And David said unto all
the congregation of Israel, If it seem
good unto you, and that
it be of the LORD our God, let us send
abroad unto our
brethren every where, that are left in all the
land of Israel, and
with them also to the priests and Levites
which are in their
cities and suburbs, that they may gather
themselves unto us:
13:013:003 And let us bring again
the ark of our God to us: for we
enquired not at it in
the days of Saul.
13:013:004 And all the
congregation said that they would do so: for the
thing was right in the
eyes of all the people.
13:013:005 So David gathered all
Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt
even unto the entering
of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from
Kirjathjearim.
13:013:006 And David went up, and
all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to
Kirjathjearim, which
belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the
ark of God the LORD,
that dwelleth between the cherubims,
whose name is called on
it.
13:013:007 And they carried the
ark of God in a new cart out of the house
of Abinadab: and Uzza
and Ahio drave the cart.
13:013:008 And David and all
Israel played before God with all their
might, and with
singing, and with harps, and with psalteries,
and with timbrels, and
with cymbals, and with trumpets.
13:013:009 And when they came unto
the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put
forth his hand to hold
the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
13:013:010 And the anger of the
LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he
smote him, because he
put his hand to the ark: and there he
died before God.
13:013:011 And David was
displeased, because the LORD had made a breach
upon Uzza: wherefore
that place is called Perezuzza to this
day.
13:013:012 And David was afraid of
God that day, saying, How shall I
bring the ark of God
home to me?
13:013:013 So David brought not
the ark home to himself to the city of
David, but carried it
aside into the house of Obededom the
Gittite.
13:013:014 And the ark of God
remained with the family of Obededom in his
house three months. And
the LORD blessed the house of
Obededom, and all that
he had.
13:014:001 Now Hiram king of Tyre
sent messengers to David, and timber of
cedars, with masons and
carpenters, to build him an house.
13:014:002 And David perceived
that the LORD had confirmed him king over
Israel, for his kingdom
was lifted up on high, because of his
people Israel.
13:014:003 And David took more
wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more
sons and daughters.
13:014:004 Now these are the names
of his children which he had in
Jerusalem; Shammua, and
Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
13:014:005 And Ibhar, and Elishua,
and Elpalet,
13:014:006 And Nogah, and Nepheg,
and Japhia,
13:014:007 And Elishama, and
Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
13:014:008 And when the
Philistines heard that David was anointed king
over all Israel, all
the Philistines went up to seek David.
And David heard of it,
and went out against them.
13:014:009 And the Philistines
came and spread themselves in the valley
of Rephaim.
13:014:010 And David enquired of
God, saying, Shall I go up against the
Philistines? And wilt
thou deliver them into mine hand? And
the LORD said unto him,
Go up; for I will deliver them into
thine hand.
13:014:011 So they came up to
Baalperazim; and David smote them there.
Then David said, God
hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine
hand like the breaking
forth of waters: therefore they called
the name of that place
Baalperazim.
13:014:012 And when they had left
their gods there, David gave a
commandment, and they
were burned with fire.
13:014:013 And the Philistines yet
again spread themselves abroad in the
valley.
13:014:014 Therefore David
enquired again of God; and God said unto him,
Go not up after them;
turn away from them, and come upon them
over against the
mulberry trees.
13:014:015 And it shall be, when
thou shalt hear a sound of going in the
tops of the mulberry
trees, that then thou shalt go out to
battle: for God is gone
forth before thee to smite the host of
the Philistines.
13:014:016 David therefore did as
God commanded him: and they smote the
host of the Philistines
from Gibeon even to Gazer.
13:014:017 And the fame of David
went out into all lands; and the LORD
brought the fear of him
upon all nations.
13:015:001 And David made him
houses in the city of David, and prepared a
place for the ark of
God, and pitched for it a tent.
13:015:002 Then David said, None
ought to carry the ark of God but the
Levites: for them hath
the LORD chosen to carry the ark of
God, and to minister
unto him for ever.
13:015:003 And David gathered all
Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring
up the ark of the LORD
unto his place, which he had prepared
for it.
13:015:004 And David assembled the
children of Aaron, and the Levites:
13:015:005 Of the sons of Kohath;
Uriel the chief, and his brethren an
hundred and twenty:
13:015:006 Of the sons of Merari;
Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two
hundred and twenty:
13:015:007 Of the sons of Gershom;
Joel the chief and his brethren an
hundred and thirty:
13:015:008 Of the sons of
Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren
two hundred:
13:015:009 Of the sons of Hebron;
Eliel the chief, and his brethren
fourscore:
13:015:010 Of the sons of Uzziel;
Amminadab the chief, and his brethren
an hundred and twelve.
13:015:011 And David called for
Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for
the Levites, for Uriel,
Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel,
and Amminadab,
13:015:012 And said unto them, Ye
are the chief of the fathers of the
Levites: sanctify
yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that
ye may bring up the ark
of the LORD God of Israel unto the
place that I have
prepared for it.
13:015:013 For because ye did it
not at the first, the LORD our God made
a breach upon us, for
that we sought him not after the due
order.
13:015:014 So the priests and the
Levites sanctified themselves to bring
up the ark of the LORD
God of Israel.
13:015:015 And the children of the
Levites bare the ark of God upon their
shoulders with the
staves thereon, as Moses commanded
according to the word
of the LORD.
13:015:016 And David spake to the
chief of the Levites to appoint their
brethren to be the
singers with instruments of musick,
psalteries and harps
and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the
voice with joy.
13:015:017 So the Levites
appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his
brethren, Asaph the son
of Berechiah; and of the sons of
Merari their brethren,
Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
13:015:018 And with them their
brethren of the second degree, Zechariah,
Ben, and Jaaziel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni,
Eliab, and Benaiah, and
Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh, and Mikneiah,
and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.
13:015:019 So the singers, Heman,
Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to
sound with cymbals of
brass;
13:015:020 And Zechariah, and
Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and
Unni, and Eliab, and
Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on
Alamoth;
13:015:021 And Mattithiah, and
Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and
Jeiel, and Azaziah,
with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
13:015:022 And Chenaniah, chief of
the Levites, was for song: he
instructed about the
song, because he was skilful.
13:015:023 And Berechiah and
Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
13:015:024 And Shebaniah, and
Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and
Zechariah, and Benaiah,
and Eliezer, the priests, did blow
with the trumpets
before the ark of God: and Obededom and
Jehiah were doorkeepers
for the ark.
13:015:025 So David, and the
elders of Israel, and the captains over
thousands, went to
bring up the ark of the covenant of the
LORD out of the house
of Obededom with joy.
13:015:026 And it came to pass,
when God helped the Levites that bare the
ark of the covenant of
the LORD, that they offered seven
bullocks and seven
rams.
13:015:027 And David was clothed
with a robe of fine linen, and all the
Levites that bare the
ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the
master of the song with
the singers: David also had upon him
an ephod of linen.
13:015:028 Thus all Israel brought
up the ark of the covenant of the LORD
with shouting, and with
sound of the cornet, and with
trumpets, and with
cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and
harps.
13:015:029 And it came to pass, as
the ark of the covenant of the LORD
came to the city of
David, that Michal, the daughter of Saul
looking out at a window
saw king David dancing and playing:
and she despised him in
her heart.
13:016:001 So they brought the ark
of God, and set it in the midst of the
tent that David had
pitched for it: and they offered burnt
sacrifices and peace
offerings before God.
13:016:002 And when David had made
an end of offering the burnt offerings
and the peace
offerings, he blessed the people in the name of
the LORD.
13:016:003 And he dealt to every
one of Israel, both man and woman, to
every one a loaf of
bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a
flagon of wine.
13:016:004 And he appointed
certain of the Levites to minister before the
ark of the LORD, and to
record, and to thank and praise the
LORD God of Israel:
13:016:005 Asaph the chief, and
next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehiel,
and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and
Benaiah, and Obededom:
and Jeiel with psalteries and with
harps; but Asaph made a
sound with cymbals;
13:016:006 Benaiah also and
Jahaziel the priests with trumpets
continually before the
ark of the covenant of God.
13:016:007 Then on that day David
delivered first this psalm to thank the
LORD into the hand of
Asaph and his brethren.
13:016:008 Give thanks unto the
LORD, call upon his name, make known his
deeds among the people.
13:016:009 Sing unto him, sing
psalms unto him, talk ye of all his
wondrous works.
13:016:010 Glory ye in his holy
name: let the heart of them rejoice that
seek the LORD.
13:016:011 Seek the LORD and his
strength, seek his face continually.
13:016:012 Remember his marvellous
works that he hath done, his wonders,
and the judgments of
his mouth;
13:016:013 O ye seed of Israel his
servant, ye children of Jacob, his
chosen ones.
13:016:014 He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
13:016:015 Be ye mindful always of
his covenant; the word which he
commanded to a thousand
generations;
13:016:016 Even of the covenant
which he made with Abraham, and of his
oath unto Isaac;
13:016:017 And hath confirmed the
same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel
for an everlasting
covenant,
13:016:018 Saying, Unto thee will
I give the land of Canaan, the lot of
your inheritance;
13:016:019 When ye were but few,
even a few, and strangers in it.
13:016:020 And when they went from
nation to nation, and from one kingdom
to another people;
13:016:021 He suffered no man to
do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings
for their sakes,
13:016:022 Saying, Touch not mine
anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
13:016:023 Sing unto the LORD, all
the earth; shew forth from day to day
his salvation.
13:016:024 Declare his glory among
the heathen; his marvellous works
among all nations.
13:016:025 For great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised: he also is
to be feared above all
gods.
13:016:026 For all the gods of the
people are idols: but the LORD made
the heavens.
13:016:027 Glory and honour are in
his presence; strength and gladness
are in his place.
13:016:028 Give unto the LORD, ye
kindreds of the people, give unto the
LORD glory and
strength.
13:016:029 Give unto the LORD the
glory due unto his name: bring an
offering, and come
before him: worship the LORD in the beauty
of holiness.
13:016:030 Fear before him, all
the earth: the world also shall be
stable, that it be not
moved.
13:016:031 Let the heavens be
glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let
men say among the
nations, The LORD reigneth.
13:016:032 Let the sea roar, and
the fulness thereof: let the fields
rejoice, and all that
is therein.
13:016:033 Then shall the trees of
the wood sing out at the presence of
the LORD, because he
cometh to judge the earth.
13:016:034 O give thanks unto the
LORD; for he is good; for his mercy
endureth for ever.
13:016:035 And say ye, Save us, O
God of our salvation, and gather us
together, and deliver
us from the heathen, that we may give
thanks to thy holy
name, and glory in thy praise.
13:016:036 Blessed be the LORD God
of Israel for ever and ever. And all
the people said, Amen,
and praised the LORD.
13:016:037 So he left there before
the ark of the covenant of the LORD
Asaph and his brethren,
to minister before the ark
continually, as every
day's work required:
13:016:038 And Obededom with their
brethren, threescore and eight;
Obededom also the son
of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
13:016:039 And Zadok the priest,
and his brethren the priests, before the
tabernacle of the LORD
in the high place that was at Gibeon,
13:016:040 To offer burnt
offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the
burnt offering
continually morning and evening, and to do
according to all that
is written in the law of the LORD, which
he commanded Israel;
13:016:041 And with them Heman and
Jeduthun, and the rest that were
chosen, who were
expressed by name, to give thanks to the
LORD, because his mercy
endureth for ever;
13:016:042 And with them Heman and
Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for
those that should make
a sound, and with musical instruments
of God. And the sons of
Jeduthun were porters.
13:016:043 And all the people
departed every man to his house: and David
returned to bless his
house.
13:017:001 Now it came to pass, as
David sat in his house, that David
said to Nathan the
prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars,
but the ark of the
covenant of the LORD remaineth under
curtains.
13:017:002 Then Nathan said unto
David, Do all that is in thine heart;
for God is with thee.
13:017:003 And it came to pass the
same night, that the word of God came
to Nathan, saying,
13:017:004 Go and tell David my
servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt
not build me an house
to dwell in:
13:017:005 For I have not dwelt in
an house since the day that I brought
up Israel unto this
day; but have gone from tent to tent, and
from one tabernacle to
another.
13:017:006 Wheresoever I have
walked with all Israel, spake I a word to
any of the judges of
Israel, whom I commanded to feed my
people, saying, Why
have ye not built me an house of cedars?
13:017:007 Now therefore thus
shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus
saith the LORD of
hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even
from following the
sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my
people Israel:
13:017:008 And I have been with
thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and
have cut off all thine
enemies from before thee, and have made
thee a name like the
name of the great men that are in the
earth.
13:017:009 Also I will ordain a
place for my people Israel, and will
plant them, and they
shall dwell in their place, and shall be
moved no more; neither
shall the children of wickedness waste
them any more, as at
the beginning,
13:017:010 And since the time that
I commanded judges to be over my
people Israel. Moreover
I will subdue all thine enemies.
Furthermore I tell thee
that the LORD will build thee an
house.
13:017:011 And it shall come to
pass, when thy days be expired that thou
must go to be with thy
fathers, that I will raise up thy seed
after thee, which shall
be of thy sons; and I will establish
his kingdom.
13:017:012 He shall build me an
house, and I will stablish his throne for
ever.
13:017:013 I will be his father,
and he shall be my son: and I will not
take my mercy away from
him, as I took it from him that was
before thee:
13:017:014 But I will settle him
in mine house and in my kingdom for
ever: and his throne
shall be established for evermore.
13:017:015 According to all these
words, and according to all this
vision, so did Nathan
speak unto David.
13:017:016 And David the king came
and sat before the LORD, and said, Who
am I, O LORD God, and
what is mine house, that thou hast
brought me hitherto?
13:017:017 And yet this was a
small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou
hast also spoken of thy
servant's house for a great while to
come, and hast regarded
me according to the estate of a man of
high degree, O LORD
God.
13:017:018 What can David speak
more to thee for the honour of thy
servant? for thou
knowest thy servant.
13:017:019 O LORD, for thy
servant's sake, and according to thine own
heart, hast thou done
all this greatness, in making known all
these great things.
13:017:020 O LORD, there is none
like thee, neither is there any God
beside thee, according
to all that we have heard with our
ears.
13:017:021 And what one nation in
the earth is like thy people Israel,
whom God went to redeem
to be his own people, to make thee a
name of greatness and
terribleness, by driving out nations
from before thy people
whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
13:017:022 For thy people Israel
didst thou make thine own people for
ever; and thou, LORD,
becamest their God.
13:017:023 Therefore now, LORD,
let the thing that thou hast spoken
concerning thy servant
and concerning his house be established
for ever, and do as
thou hast said.
13:017:024 Let it even be
established, that thy name may be magnified for
ever, saying, The LORD
of hosts is the God of Israel, even a
God to Israel: and let
the house of David thy servant be
established before
thee.
13:017:025 For thou, O my God,
hast told thy servant that thou wilt build
him an house: therefore
thy servant hath found in his heart to
pray before thee.
13:017:026 And now, LORD, thou art
God, and hast promised this goodness
unto thy servant:
13:017:027 Now therefore let it
please thee to bless the house of thy
servant, that it may be
before thee for ever: for thou
blessest, O LORD, and
it shall be blessed for ever.
13:018:001 Now after this it came
to pass, that David smote the
Philistines, and
subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out
of the hand of the
Philistines.
13:018:002 And he smote Moab; and
the Moabites became David's servants,
and brought gifts.
13:018:003 And David smote
Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he
went to stablish his
dominion by the river Euphrates.
13:018:004 And David took from him
a thousand chariots, and seven
thousand horsemen, and
twenty thousand footmen: David also
houghed all the chariot
horses, but reserved of them an
hundred chariots.
13:018:005 And when the Syrians of
Damascus came to help Hadarezer king
of Zobah, David slew of
the Syrians two and twenty thousand
men.
13:018:006 Then David put
garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians
became David's
servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD
preserved David
whithersoever he went.
13:018:007 And David took the
shields of gold that were on the servants
of Hadarezer, and
brought them to Jerusalem.
13:018:008 Likewise from Tibhath,
and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer,
brought David very much
brass, wherewith Solomon made the
brasen sea, and the
pillars, and the vessels of brass.
13:018:009 Now when Tou king of
Hamath heard how David had smitten all
the host of Hadarezer
king of Zobah;
13:018:010 He sent Hadoram his son
to king David, to enquire of his
welfare, and to
congratulate him, because he had fought
against Hadarezer, and
smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war
with Tou;) and with him
all manner of vessels of gold and
silver and brass.
13:018:011 Them also king David
dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver
and the gold that he
brought from all these nations; from
Edom, and from Moab,
and from the children of Ammon, and from
the Philistines, and
from Amalek.
13:018:012 Moreover Abishai the
son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in
the valley of salt
eighteen thousand.
13:018:013 And he put garrisons in
Edom; and all the Edomites became
David's servants. Thus
the LORD preserved David whithersoever
he went.
13:018:014 So David reigned over
all Israel, and executed judgment and
justice among all his
people.
13:018:015 And Joab the son of
Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat
the son of Ahilud,
recorder.
13:018:016 And Zadok the son of
Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of
Abiathar, were the
priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
13:018:017 And Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and
the Pelethites; and the
sons of David were chief about the
king.
13:019:001 Now it came to pass
after this, that Nahash the king of the
children of Ammon died,
and his son reigned in his stead.
13:019:002 And David said, I will
shew kindness unto Hanun the son of
Nahash, because his
father shewed kindness to me. And David
sent messengers to
comfort him concerning his father. So the
servants of David came
into the land of the children of Ammon
to Hanun, to comfort
him.
13:019:003 But the princes of the
children of Ammon said to Hanun,
Thinkest thou that
David doth honour thy father, that he hath
sent comforters unto
thee? are not his servants come unto thee
for to search, and to
overthrow, and to spy out the land?
13:019:004 Wherefore Hanun took
David's servants, and shaved them, and
cut off their garments
in the midst hard by their buttocks,
and sent them away.
13:019:005 Then there went
certain, and told David how the men were
served. And he sent to
meet them: for the men were greatly
ashamed. And the king
said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards
be grown, and then
return.
13:019:006 And when the children
of Ammon saw that they had made
themselves odious to
David, Hanun and the children of Ammon
sent a thousand talents
of silver to hire them chariots and
horsemen out of
Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out
of Zobah.
13:019:007 So they hired thirty
and two thousand chariots, and the king
of Maachah and his
people; who came and pitched before Medeba.
And the children of
Ammon gathered themselves together from
their cities, and came
to battle.
13:019:008 And when David heard of
it, he sent Joab, and all the host of
the mighty men.
13:019:009 And the children of
Ammon came out, and put the battle in
array before the gate
of the city: and the kings that were
come were by themselves
in the field.
13:019:010 Now when Joab saw that
the battle was set against him before
and behind, he chose
out of all the choice of Israel, and put
them in array against
the Syrians.
13:019:011 And the rest of the
people he delivered unto the hand of
Abishai his brother,
and they set themselves in array against
the children of Ammon.
13:019:012 And he said, If the
Syrians be too strong for me, then thou
shalt help me: but if
the children of Ammon be too strong for
thee, then I will help
thee.
13:019:013 Be of good courage, and
let us behave ourselves valiantly for
our people, and for the
cities of our God: and let the LORD do
that which is good in
his sight.
13:019:014 So Joab and the people
that were with him drew nigh before the
Syrians unto the
battle; and they fled before him.
13:019:015 And when the children
of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled,
they likewise fled
before Abishai his brother, and entered
into the city. Then
Joab came to Jerusalem.
13:019:016 And when the Syrians
saw that they were put to the worse
before Israel, they
sent messengers, and drew forth the
Syrians that were
beyond the river: and Shophach the captain
of the host of
Hadarezer went before them.
13:019:017 And it was told David;
and he gathered all Israel, and passed
over Jordan, and came
upon them, and set the battle in array
against them. So when
David had put the battle in array
against the Syrians,
they fought with him.
13:019:018 But the Syrians fled
before Israel; and David slew of the
Syrians seven thousand
men which fought in chariots, and forty
thousand footmen, and
killed Shophach the captain of the host.
13:019:019 And when the servants
of Hadarezer saw that they were put to
the worse before
Israel, they made peace with David, and
became his servants:
neither would the Syrians help the
children of Ammon any
more.
13:020:001 And it came to pass,
that after the year was expired, at the
time that kings go out
to battle, Joab led forth the power of
the army, and wasted
the country of the children of Ammon, and
came and besieged
Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And
Joab smote Rabbah, and
destroyed it.
13:020:002 And David took the
crown of their king from off his head, and
found it to weigh a
talent of gold, and there were precious
stones in it; and it
was set upon David's head: and he brought
also exceeding much
spoil out of the city.
13:020:003 And he brought out the
people that were in it, and cut them
with saws, and with
harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so
dealt David with all
the cities of the children of Ammon. And
David and all the
people returned to Jerusalem.
13:020:004 And it came to pass
after this, that there arose war at Gezer
with the Philistines;
at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite
slew Sippai, that was
of the children of the giant: and they
were subdued.
13:020:005 And there was war again
with the Philistines; and Elhanan the
son of Jair slew Lahmi
the brother of Goliath the Gittite,
whose spear staff was
like a weaver's beam.
13:020:006 And yet again there was
war at Gath, where was a man of great
stature, whose fingers
and toes were four and twenty, six on
each hand, and six on
each foot and he also was the son of the
giant.
13:020:007 But when he defied
Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's
brother slew him.
13:020:008 These were born unto
the giant in Gath; and they fell by the
hand of David, and by
the hand of his servants.
13:021:001 And Satan stood up
against Israel, and provoked David to
number Israel.
13:021:002 And David said to Joab
and to the rulers of the people, Go,
number Israel from
Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number
of them to me, that I
may know it.
13:021:003 And Joab answered, The
LORD make his people an hundred times
so many more as they
be: but, my lord the king, are they not
all my lord's servants?
why then doth my lord require this
thing? why will he be a
cause of trespass to Israel?
13:021:004 Nevertheless the king's
word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore
Joab departed, and went
throughout all Israel, and came to
Jerusalem.
13:021:005 And Joab gave the sum
of the number of the people unto David.
And all they of Israel
were a thousand thousand and an hundred
thousand men that drew
sword: and Judah was four hundred
threescore and ten
thousand men that drew sword.
13:021:006 But Levi and Benjamin
counted he not among them: for the
king's word was
abominable to Joab.
13:021:007 And God was displeased
with this thing; therefore he smote
Israel.
13:021:008 And David said unto
God, I have sinned greatly, because I have
done this thing: but
now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity
of thy servant; for I
have done very foolishly.
13:021:009 And the LORD spake unto
Gad, David's seer, saying,
13:021:010 Go and tell David,
saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee
three things: choose
thee one of them, that I may do it unto
thee.
13:021:011 So Gad came to David,
and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD,
Choose thee
13:021:012 Either three years'
famine; or three months to be destroyed
before thy foes, while
that the sword of thine enemies
overtaketh thee; or
else three days the sword of the LORD,
even the pestilence, in
the land, and the angel of the LORD
destroying throughout
all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore
advise thyself what
word I shall bring again to him that sent
me.
13:021:013 And David said unto
Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall
now into the hand of
the LORD; for very great are his mercies:
but let me not fall
into the hand of man.
13:021:014 So the LORD sent
pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of
Israel seventy thousand
men.
13:021:015 And God sent an angel
unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he
was destroying, the
LORD beheld, and he repented him of the
evil, and said to the
angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay
now thine hand. And the
angel of the LORD stood by the
threshingfloor of Ornan
the Jebusite.
13:021:016 And David lifted up his
eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD
stand between the earth
and the heaven, having a drawn sword
in his hand stretched
out over Jerusalem. Then David and the
elders of Israel, who
were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon
their faces.
13:021:017 And David said unto
God, Is it not I that commanded the people
to be numbered? even I
it is that have sinned and done evil
indeed; but as for
these sheep, what have they done? let thine
hand, I pray thee, O
LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's
house; but not on thy
people, that they should be plagued.
13:021:018 Then the angel of the
LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that
David should go up, and
set up an altar unto the LORD in the
threshingfloor of Ornan
the Jebusite.
13:021:019 And David went up at
the saying of Gad, which he spake in the
name of the LORD.
13:021:020 And Ornan turned back,
and saw the angel; and his four sons
with him hid
themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
13:021:021 And as David came to
Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and
went out of the
threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David
with his face to the
ground.
13:021:022 Then David said to
Ornan, Grant me the place of this
threshingfloor, that I
may build an altar therein unto the
LORD: thou shalt grant
it me for the full price: that the
plague may be stayed
from the people.
13:021:023 And Ornan said unto
David, Take it to thee, and let my lord
the king do that which
is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee
the oxen also for burnt
offerings, and the threshing
instruments for wood,
and the wheat for the meat offering; I
give it all.
13:021:024 And king David said to
Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it
for the full price: for
I will not take that which is thine
for the LORD, nor offer
burnt offerings without cost.
13:021:025 So David gave to Ornan
for the place six hundred shekels of
gold by weight.
13:021:026 And David built there
an altar unto the LORD, and offered
burnt offerings and
peace offerings, and called upon the LORD;
and he answered him
from heaven by fire upon the altar of
burnt offering.
13:021:027 And the LORD commanded
the angel; and he put up his sword
again into the sheath
thereof.
13:021:028 At that time when David
saw that the LORD had answered him in
the threshingfloor of
Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed
there.
13:021:029 For the tabernacle of
the LORD, which Moses made in the
wilderness, and the
altar of the burnt offering, were at that
season in the high
place at Gibeon.
13:021:030 But David could not go
before it to enquire of God: for he was
afraid because of the
sword of the angel of the LORD.
13:022:001 Then David said, This
is the house of the LORD God, and this
is the altar of the
burnt offering for Israel.
13:022:002 And David commanded to
gather together the strangers that were
in the land of Israel;
and he set masons to hew wrought stones
to build the house of
God.
13:022:003 And David prepared iron
in abundance for the nails for the
doors of the gates, and
for the joinings; and brass in
abundance without
weight;
13:022:004 Also cedar trees in
abundance: for the Zidonians and they of
Tyre brought much cedar
wood to David.
13:022:005 And David said, Solomon
my son is young and tender, and the
house that is to be
builded for the LORD must be exceeding
magnifical, of fame and
of glory throughout all countries: I
will therefore now make
preparation for it. So David prepared
abundantly before his
death.
13:022:006 Then he called for
Solomon his son, and charged him to build
