+ the son of Asiel,
+
+13:004:036 And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and

+
+13:004:037 And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of
+ Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;
+
+13:004:038 These mentioned by their names were princes in their families:
+ 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 Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
+
+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 Reuben the firstborn of Israel were,
+ Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
+
+13:005:004 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his
+ son,
+
+13:005:005 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
+
+13:005:006 Beerah his son, whom 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 Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat
+ in Bashan.
+
+13:005:013 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were,
+ Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and
+ Zia, and Heber, seven.
+
+13:005:014 These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of
+ Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of
+ Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;
+
+13:005:015 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of
+ their fathers.
+
+13:005:016 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in
+ all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.
+
+13:005:017 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham
+ king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
+
+13:005:018 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of
+ Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword,
+ and to shoot with bow, 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 half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the
+ land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir,
+ and unto mount Hermon.
+
+13:005:024 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even
+ Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and
+ Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and
+ heads of the house of 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
+ Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto
+ Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this
+ day.

+ Judah and Jerusalem by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.

+13:008:019 And Jakim, and Zichri, and Zabdi,
+
+13:008:020 And Elienai, and Zilthai, and Eliel,
+
+13:008:021 And Adaiah, and Beraiah, and Shimrath, the sons of Shimhi;
+
+13:008:022 And Ishpan, and Heber, and Eliel,
+
+13:008:023 And Abdon, and Zichri, and Hanan,
+
+13:008:024 And Hananiah, and Elam, and Antothijah,
+
+13:008:025 And Iphedeiah, and Penuel, the sons of Shashak;
+
+13:008:026 And Shamsherai, and Shehariah, and Athaliah,
+
+13:008:027 And Jaresiah, and Eliah, and Zichri, the sons of Jeroham.
+
+13:008:028 These were heads of the fathers, by their generations, chief
+ men. These dwelt in Jerusalem.
+
+13:008:029 And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; whose wife's name
+ was Maachah:
+
+13:008:030 And his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and
+ Nadab,
+
+13:008:031 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zacher.
+
+13:008:032 And Mikloth begat Shimeah. And these also dwelt with their
+ brethren in Jerusalem, over against them.
+
+13:008:033 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat
+ Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
+
+13:008:034 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal; and Meribbaal begat
+ Micah.
+
+13:008:035 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and
+ Ahaz.
+
+13:008:036 And Ahaz begat Jehoadah; and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and
+ Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza,
+
+13:008:037 And Moza begat Binea: Rapha was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel
+ his son:
+
+13:008:038 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam,
+ Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan.
+ All these were the sons of Azel.
+
+13:008:039 And the sons of Eshek his brother were, Ulam his firstborn,
+ Jehush the second, and Eliphelet the third.
+
+13:008:040 And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour, archers, and
+ had many sons, and sons' sons, an hundred and fifty. All these
+ are of the sons of Benjamin.
+
+13:009:001 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they
+ were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who
+ were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
+
+13:009:002 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in
+ their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and
+ the Nethinims.
+
+13:009:003 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the
+ children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and
+ Manasseh;
+
+13:009:004 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri,
+ the son of Bani, of 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
+ an house for the LORD God of Israel.
+
+13:022:007 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my
+ mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
+
+13:022:008 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed
+ blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not
+ build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood
+ upon the earth in my sight.
+
+13:022:009 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of
+ rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round
+ about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace
+ and quietness unto Israel in his days.
+
+13:022:010 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son,
+ and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of
+ his kingdom over Israel for ever.
+
+13:022:011 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and
+ build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
+
+13:022:012 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give
+ thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law
+ of the LORD thy God.
+
+13:022:013 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the
+ statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with
+ concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not,
+ nor be dismayed.
+
+13:022:014 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of
+ the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand
+ thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without
+ weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I
+ prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
+
+13:022:015 Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and
+ workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for
+ every manner of work.
+
+13:022:016 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is
+ no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with
+ thee.
+
+13:022:017 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon
+ his son, saying,
+
+13:022:018 Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you
+ rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the
+ land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD,
+ and before his people.
+
+13:022:019 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God;
+ arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God,
+ to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy
+ vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name
+ of the LORD.
+
+13:023:001 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his
+ son king over Israel.
+
+13:023:002 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the
+ priests and the Levites.
+
+13:023:003 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and
+ upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was
+ thirty and eight thousand.
+
+13:023:004 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the
+ work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers
+ and judges:
+
+13:023:005 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised
+ the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to
+ praise therewith.
+
+13:023:006 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,
+ namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
+
+13:023:007 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
+
+13:023:008 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and
+ Joel, three.
+
+13:023:009 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three.
+ These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
+
+13:023:010 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and
+ Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
+
+13:023:011 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and
+ Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one
+ reckoning, according to their father's house.
+
+13:023:012 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
+
+13:023:013 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated,
+ that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons
+ for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto
+ him, and to bless in his name for ever.
+
+13:023:014 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of
+ the tribe of Levi.
+
+13:023:015 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
+
+13:023:016 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
+
+13:023:017 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer
+ had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
+
+13:023:018 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
+
+13:023:019 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,
+ Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
+
+13:023:020 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.
+
+13:023:021 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli;
+ Eleazar, and Kish.
+
+13:023:022 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their
+ brethren the sons of Kish took them.
+
+13:023:023 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
+
+13:023:024 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers;
+ even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number
+ of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of
+ the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and
+ upward.
+
+13:023:025 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto
+ his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
+
+13:023:026 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the
+ tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
+
+13:023:027 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from
+ twenty years old and above:
+
+13:023:028 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the
+ service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the
+ chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the
+ work of the service of the house of God;
+
+13:023:029 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat
+ offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is
+ baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all
+ manner of measure and size;
+
+13:023:030 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and
+ likewise at even:
+
+13:023:031 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the
+ sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number,
+ according to the order commanded unto them, continually before
+ the LORD:
+
+13:023:032 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the
+ congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge
+ of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the
+ house of the LORD.
+
+13:024:001 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of
+ Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
+
+13:024:002 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no
+ children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's
+ office.
+
+13:024:003 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar,
+ and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their
+ offices in their service.
+
+13:024:004 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar
+ than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among
+ the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house
+ of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar
+ according to the house of their fathers.
+
+13:024:005 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the
+ governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God,
+ were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
+
+13:024:006 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the
+ Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and
+ Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and
+ before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites:
+ one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken
+ for Ithamar.
+
+13:024:007 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to
+ Jedaiah,
+
+13:024:008 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
+
+13:024:009 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
+
+13:024:010 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
+
+13:024:011 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
+
+13:024:012 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
+
+13:024:013 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
+
+13:024:014 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
+
+13:024:015 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
+
+13:024:016 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
+
+13:024:017 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to
+ Gamul,
+
+13:024:018 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to
+ Maaziah.
+
+13:024:019 These were the orderings of them in their service to come into
+ the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron
+ their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
+
+13:024:020 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of
+ Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
+
+13:024:021 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was
+ Isshiah.
+
+13:024:022 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
+
+13:024:023 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,
+ Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
+
+13:024:024 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
+
+13:024:025 The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah;
+ Zechariah.
+
+13:024:026 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah;
+ Beno.
+
+13:024:027 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur,
+ and Ibri.
+
+13:024:028 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
+
+13:024:029 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
+
+13:024:030 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These
+ were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
+
+13:024:031 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons
+ of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and
+ Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and
+ Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger
+ brethren.
+
+13:025:001 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the
+ service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun,
+ who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with
+ cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their
+ service was:
+
+13:025:002 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and
+ Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which
+ prophesied according to the order of the king.
+
+13:025:003 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and
+ Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of
+ their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give
+ thanks and to praise the LORD.
+
+13:025:004 Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel,
+ Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti,
+ and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and
+ Mahazioth:
+
+13:025:005 All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words
+ of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen
+ sons and three daughters.
+
+13:025:006 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the
+ house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for
+ the service of the house of God, according to the king's order
+ to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
+
+13:025:007 So the number of them, with their brethren that were
+ instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were
+ cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
+
+13:025:008 And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as
+ the great, the teacher as the scholar.
+
+13:025:009 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second
+ to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve:
+
+13:025:010 The third to Zaccur, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:011 The fourth to Izri, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:012 The fifth to Nethaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:013 The sixth to Bukkiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:014 The seventh to Jesharelah, he, his sons, and his brethren,
+ were twelve:
+
+13:025:015 The eighth to Jeshaiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:016 The ninth to Mattaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:017 The tenth to Shimei, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:018 The eleventh to Azareel, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:019 The twelfth to Hashabiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
+ twelve:
+
+13:025:020 The thirteenth to Shubael, he, his sons, and his brethren,
+ were twelve:
+
+13:025:021 The fourteenth to Mattithiah, he, his sons, and his brethren,
+ were twelve:
+
+13:025:022 The fifteenth to Jeremoth, he, his sons, and his brethren,
+ were twelve:
+
+13:025:023 The sixteenth to Hananiah, he, his sons, and his brethren,

+13:026:001 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was
+ Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
+
+13:026:002 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn,
+ Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
+
+13:026:003 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.

+ Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth,
+ and Nethaneel the fifth.
+
+13:026:005 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth:
+ for God blessed him.
+
+13:026:006 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled
+ throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men
+ of valour.
+
+13:026:007 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad,
+ whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
+
+13:026:008 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and
+ their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were
+ threescore and two of Obededom.
+
+13:026:009 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
+
+13:026:010 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons; Simri the
+ chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father
+ made him the chief;)
+
+13:026:011 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth:
+ all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
+
+13:026:012 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the
+ chief men, having wards one against another, to minister in
+ the house of the LORD.
+
+13:026:013 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according
+ to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
+
+13:026:014 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his
+ son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out
+ northward.
+
+13:026:015 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.
+
+13:026:016 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the
+ gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward
+ against ward.
+
+13:026:017 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward
+ four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.
+
+13:026:018 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.
+
+13:026:019 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore,
+ and among the sons of Merari.
+
+13:026:020 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house
+ of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
+
+13:026:021 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite
+ Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were
+ Jehieli.
+
+13:026:022 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were
+ over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
+
+13:026:023 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the
+ Uzzielites:
+
+13:026:024 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of
+ the treasures.
+
+13:026:025 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah
+ his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith
+ his son.
+
+13:026:026 Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures
+ of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief
+ fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the
+ captains of the host, had dedicated.
+
+13:026:027 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain
+ the house of the LORD.
+
+13:026:028 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish, and
+ Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had
+ dedicated; and whosoever had dedicated any thing, it was under
+ the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
+
+13:026:029 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward
+ business over Israel, for officers and judges.
+
+13:026:030 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of
+ valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them
+ of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of
+ the LORD, and in the service of the king.
+
+13:026:031 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chief, even among the
+ Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In
+ the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for,
+ and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer
+ of Gilead.
+
+13:026:032 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven
+ hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the
+ Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for
+ every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
+
+13:027:001 Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the
+ chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and
+ their officers that served the king in any matter of the
+ courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout
+ all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and
+ four thousand.

+ the host for the first month.
+
+13:027:004 And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite,
+ and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course
+ likewise were twenty and four thousand.
+
+13:027:005 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah
+ the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were
+ twenty and four thousand.
+
+13:027:006 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and
+ above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son.
+
+13:027:007 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother
+ of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course
+ were twenty and four thousand.
+
+13:027:008 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the
+ Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
+
+13:027:009 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of
+ Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were twenty and four
+ thousand.
+
+13:027:010 The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the
+ Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were
+ twenty and four thousand.
+
+13:027:011 The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the
+ Hushathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and
+ four thousand.
+
+13:027:012 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the
+ Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty
+ and four thousand.
+
+13:027:013 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the
+ Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty
+ and four thousand.
+
+13:027:014 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the
+ Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course
+ were twenty and four thousand.
+
+13:027:015 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the
+ Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and
+ four thousand.
+
+13:027:016 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the
+ Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites,
+ Shephatiah the son of Maachah:
+
+13:027:017 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites,
+ Zadok:
+
+13:027:018 Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar,
+ Omri the son of Michael:
+
+13:027:019 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth
+ the son of Azriel:
+
+13:027:020 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the
+ half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah:
+
+13:027:021 Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of
+ Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner:
+
+13:027:022 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of
+ the tribes of Israel.
+
+13:027:023 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old
+ and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel
+ like to the stars of the heavens.
+
+13:027:024 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not,
+ because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was
+ the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.
+
+13:027:025 And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel:
+ and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in
+ the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of
+ Uzziah:
+
+13:027:026 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of
+ the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:
+
+13:027:027 And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the
+ increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the
+ Shiphmite:
+
+13:027:028 And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in
+ the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the
+ cellars of oil was Joash:
+
+13:027:029 And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the
+ Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was
+ Shaphat the son of Adlai:
+
+13:027:030 Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the
+ asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:
+
+13:027:031 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the
+ rulers of the substance which was king David's.
+
+13:027:032 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and
+ a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's
+ sons:
+
+13:027:033 And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the
+ Archite was the king's companion:
+
+13:027:034 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and
+ Abiathar: and the general of the king's army was Joab.
+
+13:028:001 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of
+ the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered
+ to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands,
+ and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the
+ substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with
+ the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the
+ valiant men, unto Jerusalem.
+
+13:028:002 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me,
+ my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to
+ build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the
+ LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for
+ the building:
+
+13:028:003 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my
+ name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed
+ blood.
+
+13:028:004 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house
+ of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath
+ chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the
+ house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked
+ me to make me king over all Israel:
+
+13:028:005 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he
+ hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the
+ kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
+
+13:028:006 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house
+ and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will
+ be his father.
+
+13:028:007 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be
+ constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this
+ day.
+
+13:028:008 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of
+ the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for
+ all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess
+ this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your
+ children after you for ever.
+
+13:028:009 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and
+ serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for
+ the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the
+ imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be
+ found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off
+ for ever.
+
+13:028:010 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house
+ for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
+
+13:028:011 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch,
+ and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and
+ of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours
+ thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
+
+13:028:012 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the
+ courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round
+ about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the
+ treasuries of the dedicated things:
+
+13:028:013 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for
+ all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for
+ all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.
+
+13:028:014 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all
+ instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all
+ instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every
+ kind of service:
+
+13:028:015 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their
+ lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the
+ lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight,
+ both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof,
+ according to the use of every candlestick.
+
+13:028:016 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for
+ every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
+
+13:028:017 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the
+ cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for
+ every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of
+ silver:
+
+13:028:018 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold
+ for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread
+ out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the
+ LORD.
+
+13:028:019 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing
+ by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
+
+13:028:020 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good
+ courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD
+ God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee,
+ nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for
+ the service of the house of the LORD.
+
+13:028:021 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even
+ they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of
+ God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of
+ workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of
+ service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at
+ thy commandment.
+
+13:029:001 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation,
+ Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and
+ tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man,
+ but for the LORD God.
+
+13:029:002 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God
+ the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for
+ things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron
+ for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones,
+ and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers
+ colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones
+ in abundance.
+
+13:029:003 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my
+ God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which
+ I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I
+ have prepared for the holy house.
+
+13:029:004 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and
+ seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls
+ of the houses withal:
+
+13:029:005 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of
+ silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of
+ artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service
+ this day unto the LORD?
+
+13:029:006 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of
+ Israel and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the
+ rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
+
+13:029:007 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five
+ thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten
+ thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and
+ one hundred thousand talents of iron.
+
+13:029:008 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the
+ treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the
+ Gershonite.
+
+13:029:009 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly,
+ because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD:
+ and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
+
+13:029:010 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation:
+ and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our
+ father, for ever and ever.
+
+13:029:011 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory,
+ and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the
+ heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O
+ LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
+
+13:029:012 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over
+ all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand
+ it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
+
+13:029:013 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious
+ name.
+
+13:029:014 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to
+ offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of
+ thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
+
+13:029:015 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all
+ our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there
+ is none abiding.
+
+13:029:016 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build
+ thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is
+ all thine own.
+
+13:029:017 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast
+ pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine
+ heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have
+ I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer
+ willingly unto thee.
+
+13:029:018 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep
+ this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart
+ of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
+
+13:029:019 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy
+ commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all
+ these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have
+ made provision.
+
+13:029:020 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD
+ your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of
+ their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the
+ LORD, and the king.
+
+13:029:021 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered
+ burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day,
+ even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand
+ lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance
+ for all Israel:
+
+13:029:022 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great
+ gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the
+ second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief
+ governor, and Zadok to be priest.
+
+13:029:023 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of
+ David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
+
+13:029:024 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons
+ likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the
+ king.
+
+13:029:025 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all
+ Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not
+ been on any king before him in Israel.
+
+13:029:026 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
+
+13:029:027 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years;
+ seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years
+ reigned he in Jerusalem.
+
+13:029:028 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and
+ honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
+
+13:029:029 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they
+ are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of
+ Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
+
+13:029:030 With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over
+ him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the
+ countries.

+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!

+you may distribute copies of this eBook if you want to.
+

+ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM EBOOKS
+This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBook, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm eBooks,
+is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
+through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
+Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright

+without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
+below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this eBook
+under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
+
+Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
+any commercial products without permission.
+
+To create these eBooks, the Project expends considerable
+efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
+works. Despite these efforts, the Project's eBooks and any
+medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
+things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
+disk or other eBook medium, a computer virus, or computer
+codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES

+copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
+choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
+receive it electronically.

+the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
+above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
