+
+THE FIRST BOOK OF PARALIPOMENON
+
+These Books are called by the Greek interpreters, Paralipomenon, that
+is, of things left out, or omitted; because they are a kind of a
+supplement of such things as were passed over in the books of the Kings.
+The Hebrews call them Dibre Haijamim, that is, The words of the days, or
+The Chronicles.--Not that they are the books which are so often quoted
+in the Kings, under the title of the words of the days of the kings of
+Israel, and of the kings of Juda: for the books of Paralipomenon were
+written after the books of Kings: but because in all probability they
+have been abridged from those ancient words of the days, by Esdras or
+some other sacred writer.

+for all, that it was a common thing among the Hebrews for the same
+persons to have different names: and that it is not impossible among so

+9:10. And of the priests: Jedaia, Joiarib, and Jachin:
+
+9:11. And Azarias the son of Helcias, the son of Mosollam, the son of
+Sadoc, the son of Maraioth, the son of Achitob, high priest of the house
+of God.
+
+9:12. And Adaias the son of Jeroham, the son of Phassur, the son of
+Melchias, and Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jezra, the son of
+Mosollam, the son of Mosollamith, the son of Emmer.
+
+9:13. And their brethren heads in their families a thousand seven
+hundred and threescore, very strong and able men for the work of the
+ministry in the house of God.
+
+9:14. And of the Levites: Semeia the son of Hassub the son of Ezricam,
+the son of Hasebia of the sons of Merari.
+
+9:15. And Bacbacar the carpenter, and Galal, and Mathania the son of
+Micha, the son of Zechri the son of Asaph:
+
+9:16. And Obdia the son of Semeia, the son of Galal, the son of Idithum:
+and Barachia the son of Asa, the son of Elcana, who dwelt in the suburbs
+of Netophati.
+
+9:17. And the porters were Sellum, and Accub, and Telmon, and Ahiman:
+and their brother Sellum was the prince,
+
+9:18. Until that time, in the king's gate eastward, the sons of Levi
+waited by their turns.
+
+9:19. But Sellum the son of Core, the son of Abiasaph, the son of Core,
+with his brethren and his father's house, the Corites were over the
+works of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their
+families in turns were keepers of the entrance of the camp of the Lord.
+
+9:20. And Phinees the son of Eleazar, was their prince before the Lord,
+
+9:21. And Zacharias the son of Mosollamia, was porter of the gate of the
+tabernacle of the testimony:
+
+9:22. All these that were chosen to be porters at the gates, were two
+hundred and twelve: the they were registered in their proper towns: whom
+David and Samuel the seer appointed in their trust.
+
+9:23. As well them as their sons, to keep the gates of the house of the
+Lord, and the tabernacle by their turns.
+
+9:24. In four quarters were the porters: that is to say, toward the
+east, and west, and north, and south.
+
+9:25. And their brethren dwelt in village, and came upon their sabbath
+days from time to time.
+
+9:26. To these four Levites were committed the whole number of the
+porters, and they were over the chambers, and treasures, of the house of
+the Lord.
+
+9:27. And they abode in their watches round about the temple of the
+Lord: that when it was time, they might open the gates in the morning.
+
+9:28. And some of their stock had the charge of the vessels for the
+ministry: for the vessels were both brought in and carried out by
+number.
+
+9:29. Some of them also had the instruments of the sanctuary committed
+unto them, and the charge of the fine flour, and wine, and oil, and
+frankincense, and spices.
+
+9:30. And the sons of the priests made the ointments of the spices.
+
+9:31. And Mathathias a Levite, the firstborn of Sellum the Corite, was
+overseer of such things as were fried the fryingpan.
+
+9:32. And some of the sons of Caath their brethren, were over the loaves
+of proposition, to prepare always new for every sabbath.
+
+9:33. These are the chief of the singing men of the families of the
+Levites, who dwelt in the chambers, by the temple, that they might serve
+continually day and night in their ministry.
+
+9:34. The heads of the Levites, princes in their families, abode in
+Jerusalem.
+
+9:35. And in Gabaon dwelt Jehiel the father of Gabaon, and the name of
+his wife was Maacha:
+
+9:36. His firstborn son Abdon, and Sur, and Cis, and Baal, and Ner, and
+Nadab,
+
+9:37. Gedor also, and Ahio, and Zacharias, and Macelloth.
+
+9:38. And Macelloth begot Samaan: these dwelt over against their
+brethren in Jerusalem, with their brethren.
+
+9:39. Now Ner begot Cis: and Cis begot Saul: and Saul begot Jonathan and
+Melchisua, and Abinadab, and Esbaal.
+
+9:40. And the son of Jonathan, was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begot Micha.
+
+9:41. And the sons of Micha, were Phithon, and Melech, and Tharaa, and
+Ahaz.
+
+9:42. And Ahaz begot Jara, and Jara begot Alamath, and Azmoth, and
+Zamri. And Zamri begot Mosa.
+
+9:43. And Mosa begot Banaa: whose son Raphaia begot Elasa: of whom was
+born Asel.
+
+9:44. And Asel had six sons whose names are, Ezricam Bochru, Ismahel,
+Saria, Obdia, Hanan: these are the sons of Asel.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 10
+
+Saul is slain for his sins: he is buried by the men of Jabes.
+
+10:1. Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel
+fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
+
+10:2. And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons,
+and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
+
+10:3. And the battle grew hard against Saul and the archers reached him,
+and wounded him with arrows.
+
+10:4. And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me:
+lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would
+not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon
+it.
+
+10:5. And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he
+also fell upon his sword and died.
+
+10:6. So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
+
+10:7. And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this,
+they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities,
+and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in
+them.
+
+10:8. And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them
+that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
+
+10:9. And when they had stripped him, and out off his head, and taken
+away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and
+shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
+
+10:10. And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his
+head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
+
+10:11. And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that
+the Philistines had done to Saul,
+
+10:12. All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul
+and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under
+the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
+
+10:13. So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the
+commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and
+moreover consulted also a witch,
+
+10:14. And trusted not in the Lord: therefore he slew him, and
+transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 11
+
+David is made king. He taketh the castle of Sion. A catalogue of his
+valiant men.
+
+11:1. Then all Israel gathered themselves to David in Hebron, saying: We
+are thy bone, and thy flesh.
+
+11:2. Yesterday also, and the day before when Saul was king, thou wast
+he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: for the Lord thy God said
+to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over
+them.
+
+11:3. So all the ancients of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and
+David made a covenant with them before the Lord: and they anointed him
+king over Israel according to the word of the Lord which he spoke in the
+hand of Samuel.
+
+11:4. And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where
+the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land.
+
+11:5. And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: Thou shalt not come in
+here. But David took the castle of Sion, which is the city of David.
+
+11:6. And he said: Whosoever shall first strike the Jebusites, shall be
+the head and chief captain. And Joab the son of Sarvia went up first,
+and was made the general.
+
+11:7. And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was called the
+city of David,
+
+11:8. And he built the city round about from Mello all round, and Joab
+built the rest of the city.
+
+11:9. And David went on growing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts
+was with him.
+
+11:10. These are the chief of the valiant man of David, who helped him
+to be made king over all Israel, according to the word of the Lord,
+which he spoke to Israel.
+
+11:11. And this is the number of the heroes of David: Jesbaam the son of
+Hachamoni the chief among the thirty: he lifted up his spear against
+three hundred wounded by him at one time.
+
+11:12. And after him was Eleazar his uncle's son the Ahohite, who was
+one of the three mighties.
+
+11:13. He was with David in Phesdomim, when the Philistines were
+gathered to that place to battle: and the field of that country was full
+of barley, and the people fled from before the Philistines.
+
+11:14. But these men stood in the midst of the field, and defended it:
+and they slew the Philistines, and the Lord gave a great deliverance to
+his people.
+
+11:15. And three of the thirty captains went down to the rock, wherein
+David was, to the cave of Odollam, when the Philistines encamped in the
+valley of Raphaim.
+
+11:16. And David was in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines in
+Bethlehem.
+
+11:17. And David longed, and said: O that some man would give me water
+of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.
+
+11:18. And these three broke through the midst of the camp of the
+Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, which was
+in the gate, and brought it to David to drink: and he would not drink of
+it, but rather offered it to the Lord,
+
+11:19. Saying: God forbid that I should do this in the sight of my God,
+and should drink the blood of these men: for with the danger of their
+lives they have brought me the water. And therefore he would not drink.
+These things did the three most valiant.
+
+11:20. And Abisai the brother of Joab, he was chief of three, and he
+lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was
+renowned among the three,
+
+11:21. And illustrious among the second three, and their captain: but
+yet he attained not to the first three.
+
+11:22. Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of Cabseel, who had
+done many acts: he slew the two ariels of Moab: and he went down, and
+killed a lion in the midst of a pit in the time of snow.
+
+Two ariels... That is, two lions, or lion-like men; for Ariel in Hebrew
+signifies a lion.
+
+11:23. And he slew an Egyptian, whose stature was of five cubits, and
+who had a spear like a weaver's beam: and he went down to him with a
+staff, and plucked away the spear, that he held in his hand, and slew
+him with his own spear.
+
+11:24. These things did Banaias the son of Joiada, who was renowned
+among the three valiant ones,
+
+11:25. And the first among the thirty, but yet to the three he attained
+not: and David made him of his council.
+
+11:26. Moreover the most valiant men of the army, were Asahel brother of
+Joab, and Elchanan the son of his uncle of Bethlehem,
+
+11:27. Sammoth an Arorite, Helles a Phalonite,
+
+11:28. Ira the son of Acces a Thecuite, Abiezer an Anathothite,
+
+11:29. Sobbochai a Husathite, Ilai an Ahohite,
+
+11:30. Maharai a Netophathite, Heled the son of Baana a Netophathite,
+
+11:31. Ethai the son of Ribai of Gabaath of the sons of Benjamin, Banai
+a Pharathonite,
+
+11:32. Hurai of the torrent Gaas, Abiel an Arbathite, Azmoth a
+Bauramite, Eliaba a Salabonite,
+
+11:33. The sons of Assem a Gezonite, Jonathan the son of Sage an
+Ararite,
+
+11:34. Ahiam the son of Sachar an Ararite,
+
+11:35. Eliphal the son of Ur,
+
+11:36. Hepher a Mecherathite, Ahia a Phelonite,
+
+11:37. Hesro a Carmelite, Naarai the son of Azbai,
+
+11:38. Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibahar the son of Agarai.
+
+11:39. Selec an Ammonite, Naharai a Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab
+the son of Sarvia.
+
+11:40. Ira a Jethrite, Gareb a Jethrite,
+
+11:41. Urias a Hethite, Zabad the son of Oholi,
+
+11:42. Adina the son of Siza a Rubenite the prince of the Rubenites, and
+thirty with him:
+
+11:43. Hanan the son of Maacha, and Josaphat a Mathanite,
+
+11:44. Ozia an Astarothite, Samma, and Jehiel the sons of Hotham an
+Arorite,
+
+11:45. Jedihel the son of Zamri, and Joha his brother a Thosaite,
+
+11:46. Eliel a Mahumite, and Jeribai, and Josaia the sons of Elnaim, and
+Jethma a Moabite, Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel of Masobia.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 12
+
+Who followed David when he fled from Saul. And who came to Hebron to
+make him king.
+
+12:1. Now these are they that came to David to Siceleg, while he yet
+fled from Saul the son of Cis, and they were most valiant and excellent
+warriors,
+
+12:2. Bending the bow, and using either hand in hurling stones with
+slings, and shooting arrows: of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin.
+
+12:3. The chief was Ahiezer, and Joas, the sons of Samoa of Gabaath, and
+Jaziel, and Phallet the sons of Azmoth, and Beracha, and Jehu an
+Anathothite.
+
+12:4. And Samaias of Gabaon, the stoutest amongst the thirty and over
+the thirty; Jeremias, and Jeheziel and Johanan, and Jozabad of Gaderoth;
+
+12:5. And Eluzai, and Jerimuth, and Baalia, and Samaria, and Saphatia
+the Haruphite;
+
+12:6. Elcana, and Jesia, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jesbaam of
+Carehim:
+
+12:7. And Joela, and Zabadia the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
+
+12:8. From Gaddi also there went over to David, when he lay hid in the
+wilderness most valiant men, and excellent warriors, holding shield and
+spear: whose faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift
+like the roebucks on the mountains.
+
+12:9. Ezer the chief, Obdias the second, Eliab the third,
+
+12:10. Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth,
+
+12:11. Ethi the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
+
+12:12. Johanan the eighth, Elzebad the ninth,
+
+12:13. Jerenias the tenth, Machbani the eleventh,
+
+12:14. These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the army: the least of
+them was captain over a hundred soldiers, and the greatest over a
+thousand.
+
+12:15. These are they who passed over the Jordan in the first month,
+when it is used to flow over its banks: and they put to flight all that
+dwelt in the valleys both toward the east and toward the west.
+
+12:16. And there came also of the men of Benjamin, and of Juda to the
+hold, in which David abode.
+
+12:17. And David went out to meet them, and said: If you are come
+peaceably to me to help me, let my heart be joined to you: but if you
+plot against me for my enemies whereas I have no iniquity in my hands,
+let the God of our fathers see, and judge.
+
+12:18. But the spirit came upon Amasai the chief among thirty, and he
+said: We are thine, O David, and for thee, O son of Isai: peace, peace
+be to thee, and peace to thy helpers. For thy God helpeth thee. So David
+received them, and made them captains of the band.
+
+12:19. And there were some of Manasses that went over to David, when he
+came with the Philistines against Saul to fight: but he did not fight
+with them: because the lords of the Philistines taking counsel sent him
+back, saying: With the danger of our heads he will return to his master
+Saul.
+
+12:20. So when he went back to Siceleg, there fled to him of Manasses,
+Ednas and Jozabad, and Jedihel, and Michael, and Ednas, and Jozabad, and
+Eliu, and Salathi, captains of thousands in Manasses.
+
+12:21. These helped David against the rovers: for they were all most
+valiant men, and were made commanders in the army.
+
+12:22. Moreover day by day there came some to David to help him till
+they became a great number, like the army of God.
+
+12:23. And this is the number of the chiefs of the army who came to
+David, when he was in Hebron, to transfer to him the kingdom of Saul,
+according to the word of the Lord.
+
+12:24. The sons of Juda bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight
+hundred well appointed to war.
+
+12:25. Of the sons of Simeon valiant men for war, seven thousand one
+hundred.
+
+12:26. Of the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred.
+
+12:27. And Joiada prince of the race of Aaron, and with him three
+thousand seven hundred.
+
+12:28. Sadoc also a young man of excellent disposition, and the house of
+his father, twenty-two principal men.
+
+12:29. And of the sons of Benjamin the brethren of Saul, three thousand:
+for hitherto a great part of them followed the house of Saul.
+
+12:30. And of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, men of
+great valour renowned in their kindreds.
+
+12:31. And of the half tribe of Manasses, eighteen thousand, every one
+by their names, came to make David king.
+
+12:32. Also of the sons of Issachar men of understanding, that knew all
+times to order what Israel should do, two hundred principal men: and all
+the rest of the tribe followed their counsel.
+
+12:33. And of Zabulon such as went forth to battle, and stood in array
+well appointed with armour for war, there came fifty thousand to his
+aid, with no double heart.
+
+12:34. And of Nephtali, a thousand leaders: and with them seven and
+thirty thousand, furnished with shield and spear.
+
+12:35. Of Dan also twenty-eight thousand six hundred prepared for
+battle.
+
+12:36. And of Aser forty thousand going forth to fight, and challenging
+in battle.
+
+12:37. And on the other side of the Jordan of the sons of Ruben, and of
+Gad, and of the half of the tribe of Manasses a hundred and twenty
+thousand, furnished with arms for war.
+
+12:38. All these men of war well appointed to fight, 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.
+
+12:39. And they were there with David three days eating and drinking:
+for their brethren had prepared for them.
+
+12:40. Moreover they that were near them even as far as Issachar, and
+Zabulon, and Nephtali, brought loaves on asses, and on camels, and on
+mules, and on oxen, to eat: meal, figs, raisins, wine, oil, and oxen,
+and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 13
+
+The ark is brought from Cariathiarim. Oza for touching it is struck
+dead.
+
+13:1. David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds,
+and with all the commanders.
+
+13:2. And he said to all the assembly of Israel: If it please you; and
+if the words which I speak come from the Lord our God, let us send to
+the rest of our brethren into all the countries of Israel, and to the
+priests, and the Levites, that dwell in the suburbs of the cities, to
+gather themselves to us,
+
+13:3. And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought it
+not in the days of Saul.
+
+13:4. And all the multitude answered that it should be so: for the word
+pleased all the people.
+
+13:5. So David assembled all Israel from Sihor of Egypt, even to the
+entering into Emath, to bring the ark of God from Cariathiarim.
+
+13:6. And David went up with all the men of Israel to the hill of
+Cariathiarim which is in Juda, to bring thence the ark of the Lord God
+sitting upon the cherubims, where his name is called upon.
+
+13:7. And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart out of the house
+of Abinadab. And Oza and his brother drove the cart.
+
+13:8. And David and all Israel played before God with all their might
+with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and
+cymbals, and trumpets,
+
+13:9. And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put forth his hand,
+to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a little on
+one side.
+
+13:10. And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him, because he had
+touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord.
+
+13:11. And David was troubled because the Lord had divided Oza: and he
+called that place the Breach of Oza to this day.
+
+13:12. And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I bring in the
+ark of God to me?
+
+13:13. And therefore he brought it not home to himself, that is, into
+the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the
+Gethite.
+
+13:14. And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom three
+months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 14
+
+David's house, and children: his victories over the Philistines.
+
+14:1. And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees,
+and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
+
+14:2. And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over
+Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
+
+14:3. And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he begot sons, and
+daughters.
+
+14:4. Now these are the names of them that were born to him in
+Jerusalem: Samua, and Sobad, Nathan, and Solomon,
+
+14:5. Jebahar, and Elisua, and Eliphalet,
+
+14:6. And Noga, and Napheg, and Japhia,
+
+14:7. Elisama, and Baaliada, and Eliphalet.
+
+14:8. And the Philistines hearing that David was anointed king over all
+Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out
+against them.
+
+14:9. And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of
+Raphaim.
+
+14:10. And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the
+Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said
+to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.
+
+14:11. And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them
+there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters
+are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called
+Baalpharasim.
+
+14:12. And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they
+should be burnt.
+
+14:13. Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread
+themselves abroad in the valley.
+
+14:14. And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up
+after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against the
+pear trees.
+
+14:15. And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of
+the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out
+before thee to strike the army of the Philistines.
+
+14:16. And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of
+the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
+
+14:17. And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the
+Lord made all nations fear aim.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 15
+
+The ark is brought into the city of David, with great solemnity.  Michol
+derideth David's devotion.
+
+15:1. He made also houses for himself in the city of David: and built a
+place for the ark of God, and pitched a tabernacle for it.
+
+15:2. Then David said: No one ought to carry the ark of God, but the
+Levites, whom the Lord hath chosen to carry it, and to minister unto
+himself for ever.
+
+15:3. And he gathered all Israel together into Jerusalem, that the ark
+of God might be brought into its place, which he had prepared for it.
+
+15:4. And the sons of Aaron also, and the Levites.
+
+15:5. Of the children of Caath, Uriel was the chief, and his brethren a
+hundred and twenty.
+
+15:6. Of the sons of Merari, Asaia the chief, and his brethren two
+hundred and twenty.
+
+15:7. Of the sons of Gersom, Joel the chief, and his brethren a hundred
+and thirty.
+
+15:8. Of the sons of Elisaphan, Semeias the chief: and his brethren two
+hundred.
+
+15:9. Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief: and his brethren eighty.
+
+15:10. Of the sons of Oziel, Aminadab the chief: and his brethren a
+hundred and twelve.
+
+15:11. And David called Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, and the
+Levites, Uriel, Asaia, Joel, Semeia, Eliel, and Aminadab:
+
+15:12. And he said to them: You that are the heads of the Levitical
+families, be sanctified with your brethren, and bring the ark of the
+Lord the God of Israel to the place, which is prepared for it:
+
+15:13. Lest as the Lord at first struck us, because you were not
+present, the same should now also come to pass, by our doing some thing
+against the law.
+
+15:14. So the priests and the Levites were sanctified, to carry the ark
+of the Lord the God of Israel.
+
+15:15. And the sons of Levi took the ark of God as Moses had commanded,
+according to the word of the Lord, upon their shoulders, with the
+staves.
+
+15:16. And David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites, to appoint some of
+their brethren to be singers with musical instruments, to wit, on
+psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, that the joyful noise might resound
+on high.
+
+15:17. And they appointed Levites, Hemam the son of Joel, and of his
+brethren Asaph the son of Barachias: and of the sons of Merari, their
+brethren: Ethan the son of Casaia.
+
+15:18. And with them their brethren: in the second rank, Zacharias, and
+Ben, and Jaziel, and Semiramoth, and Jahiel, and Ani, and Eliab, and
+Banaias, and Maasias, and Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias, and
+Obededom, and Jehiel, the porters.
+
+15:19. Now the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, sounded with cymbals of
+brass.
+
+15:20. And Zacharias, and Oziel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Ani,
+and Eliab, and Maasias, and Banaias, sung mysteries upon psalteries.
+
+15:21. And Mathathias, and Eliphalu, and Macenias and Obededom, and
+Jehiel and Ozaziu, sung a song of victory for the octave upon harps.
+
+15:22. And Chonenias chief of the Levites, presided over the prophecy,
+to give out the tunes: for he was very skilful.
+
+The prophecy, to give out the tunes... Singing praises to God is here
+called prophecy: the more, because these singers were often inspired
+men.
+
+15:23. And Barachias, and Elcana, were doorkeepers of the ark.
+
+15:24. And Sebenias, and Josaphat, and Nathanael, and Amasai, and
+Zacharias, and Banaias, and Eliezer the priests, sounded with trumpets,
+before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehias were porters of the ark.
+
+15:25. So David and all the ancients of Israel, and the captains over
+thousands, went to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the
+house of Obededom with joy.
+
+15:26. And when God had helped the Levites who carried the ark of the
+covenant of the Lord, they offered in sacrifice seven oxen, and seven
+rams.
+
+15:27. And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the
+Levites that carried the ark, and the singing men, and Chonenias the
+ruler of the prophecy among the singers: and David also had on him an
+ephod of linen.
+
+15:28. And all Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with
+joyful shouting, and sounding with the sound of the cornet, and with
+trumpets, and cymbals, and psalteries, and harps.
+
+15:29. And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come to the city
+of David, Michol the daughter of Saul looking out at a window, saw king
+David dancing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 16
+
+The ark is placed in the tabernacle. Sacrifice is offered. David
+blesseth the people, disposeth the offices of Levites, and maketh a
+psalm of praise to God.
+
+16:1. So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the
+tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, and
+peace offerings before God.
+
+16:2. And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace
+offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
+
+16:3. And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of
+bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.
+
+16:4. And he appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord,
+and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord God of
+Israel.
+
+16:5. Asaph the chief, and next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel,
+and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and
+Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and
+Asaph sounded with cymbals:
+
+16:6. But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet
+continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
+
+16:7. In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord
+with his brethren.
+
+16:8. Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings
+among the nations.
+
+16:9. Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous
+works.
+
+16:10. Praise ye his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice, that seek
+the Lord.
+
+16:11. Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore.
+
+16:12. Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and
+the judgments of his mouth.
+
+16:13. O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his
+chosen.
+
+16:14. He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
+
+16:15. Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a
+thousand generations.
+
+16:16. The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac.
+
+16:17. And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel
+for an everlasting covenant:
+
+16:18. Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your
+inheritance.
+
+16:19. When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it.
+
+16:20. And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to
+another people.
+
+16:21. He suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their
+sake.
+
+16:22. Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
+
+16:23. Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day
+his salvation.
+
+16:24. Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all
+people.
+
+16:25. For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to
+be feared above all gods.
+
+16:26. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the
+heavens.
+
+16:27. Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his
+place.
+
+16:28. Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to
+the Lord glory and empire.
+
+16:29. Give to the Lord glory to his name, bring up sacrifice, and come
+ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness.
+
+16:30. Let all the earth be moved at his presence: for he hath founded
+the world immoveable.
+
+16:31. Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say
+among the nations: The Lord hath reigned.
+
+16:32. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields
+rejoice, and all things that are in them.
+
+16:33. Then shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord:
+because he is come to judge the earth.
+
+16:34. Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth
+for ever.
+
+16:35. And say ye: Save us, O God our savior: and gather us together,
+and deliver us from the nations, that we may give glory to thy holy
+name, and may rejoice in singing thy praises.
+
+16:36. Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity:
+and let all the people say Amen, and a hymn to God.
+
+16:37. So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
+Asaph and his brethren to minister in the presence of the ark
+continually day by day, and in their courses.
+
+16:38. And Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son
+of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters.
+
+16:39. And Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the
+tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon.
+
+16:40. That they should offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of
+holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that is
+written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel.
+
+16:41. And after him Heman, and Idithun, and the rest that were chosen,
+every one by his name to give praise to the Lord: because his mercy
+endureth for ever.
+
+16:42. And Heman and Idithun sounded the trumpet, and played on the
+cymbals, and all kinds of musical instruments to sing praises to God:
+and the sons of Idithun he made porters.
+
+16:43. And all the people returned to their houses: and David to bless
+also his own house.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 17
+
+David's purpose to build a temple, is rewarded by most ample promises:
+David's thanksgiving.
+
+17:1. Now when David was dwelling in his house, he said to Nathan the
+prophet: Behold I dwell in a house of cedar: and the ark of the covenant
+of the Lord is under skins.
+
+17:2. And Nathan said to David: Do all that is in thy heart: for God is
+with thee.
+
+17:3. Now that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
+
+17:4. Go, and speak to David my servant: Thus saith the Lord: Thou shalt
+not build me a house to dwell in.
+
+17:5. For I have not remained in a house from the time that I brought up
+Israel, to this day: but I have been always changing places in a
+tabernacle, and in a tent,
+
+17:6. Abiding with all Israel. Did I ever speak to any one, of all the
+judges of Israel whom I charged to feed my people, saying: Why have you
+not built me a house of cedar?
+
+17:7. Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David: Thus saith
+the Lord of hosts: I took thee from the pastures, from following the
+flock, that thou shouldst be ruler of my people Israel.
+
+17:8. And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast gone: and have
+slain all thy enemies before thee, and have made thee a name like that
+of one of the great ones that are renowned in the earth.
+
+17:9. And I have given a place my people Israel: they shall be planted,
+and shall dwell therein, and shall be moved no more, neither shall the
+children of iniquity waste them, as at the beginning,
+
+17:10. Since the days that I gave judges to my people Israel, and have
+humbled all thy enemies. And I declare to thee, that the Lord will build
+thee a house.
+
+17:11. And when thou shalt have ended thy days to go to thy fathers, I
+will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons: and I
+will establish his kingdom.
+
+17:12. He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for
+ever.
+
+17:13. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and I
+will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was
+before thee.
+
+17:14. But I will settle him in my house, and in my kingdom for ever:
+and his throne shall be most firm for ever.
+
+17:15. According to all these words, and according to all this vision,
+so did Nathan speak to David.
+
+17:16. And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said: Who am I,
+O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou shouldst give such things to
+me?
+
+17:17. But even this hath seemed little in thy sight, and therefore thou
+hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for the time to
+come: and hast made me remarkable above all men, O Lord God.
+
+17:18. What can David add more, seeing thou hast thus glorified thy
+servant, and known him?
+
+17:19. O Lord, for thy servant's sake, according to thy own heart, thou
+hast shewn all this magnificence, and wouldst have all the great things
+to be known.
+
+17:20. O Lord there is none like thee: and here is no other God beside
+thee, of all whom we have heard of with our ears.
+
+17:21. For what other nation is there upon earth like thy people Israel,
+whom God went to deliver, and make a people for himself, and by his
+greatness and terrors cast out nations before their face whom he had
+delivered out of Egypt?
+
+17:22. And thou hast made thy people Israel to be thy own people for
+ever, and thou, O Lord, art become their God.
+
+17:23. Now therefore, O Lord, let the word which thou hast spoken to thy
+servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as
+thou hast said.
+
+17:24. And let thy name remain and be magnified for ever: and let it be
+said: The Lord of hosts is God of Israel, and the house of David his
+servant remaineth before him.
+
+17:25. For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant,
+that thou wilt build him a house: and therefore thy servant hath found
+confidence to pray before thee.
+
+17:26. And now O Lord, thou art God: and thou hast promised to thy
+servant such great benefits.
+
+17:27. And thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, that it
+may be always before thee: for seeing thou blessest it, O Lord, it shall
+be blessed for ever.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 18
+
+David's victories. His chief officers.
+
+18:1. And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the
+Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out
+of the hands of the Philistines,
+
+18:2. And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David's servants,
+and brought him gifts.
+
+18:3. At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land
+of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river
+Euphrates.
+
+18:4. And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand
+horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot
+horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.
+
+18:5. And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of
+Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.
+
+18:6. And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve
+him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which
+he went.
+
+18:7. And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer
+had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
+
+18:8. Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought
+very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars,
+and the vessels of brass.
+
+18:9. Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the
+army of Adarezer king of Soba,
+
+18:10. He sent Adoram his son to king David to desire peace of him, and
+to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for
+Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.
+
+18:11. And all the vessels of gold, and silver and brass king David
+consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken
+from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the
+sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.
+
+18:12. And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of
+the saltpits, eighteen thousand:
+
+18:13. And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and
+the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.
+
+18:14. So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and
+justice among all his people.
+
+18:15. And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the
+son of Ahilud recorder.
+
+18:16. And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar,
+were the priests: and Susa, scribe.
+
+18:17. And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi,
+and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 19
+
+The Ammonites abuse David's ambassadors: both they and their
+confederates are overthrown.
+
+19:1. Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon
+died, and his son reigned in his stead.
+
+19:2. And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for
+his father did a favour tome. And David sent messengers to comfort him
+upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of
+the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
+
+19:3. The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest
+perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to
+thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee
+to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
+
+19:4. Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of
+David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and
+sent them away.
+
+19:5. And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet
+them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at
+Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
+
+19:6. And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to
+David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of
+silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia and out of
+Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
+
+19:7. And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of
+Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba.
+And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their
+cities, and came to battle.
+
+19:8. And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of
+valiant men:
+
+19:9. And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array
+before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid,
+stood apart in the field.
+
+19:10. Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him
+before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched
+against the Syrians,
+
+19:11. And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai
+his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
+
+19:12. 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, I will
+help thee.
+
+19:13. Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our
+people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which
+is good in his sight.
+
+19:14. So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the
+Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
+
+19:15. And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they
+likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab
+also returned to Jerusalem.
+
+19:16. But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent
+messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river:
+and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
+
+19:17. And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and
+passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against
+them, and they fought with him.
+
+19:18. But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians
+seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the
+general of the army.
+
+Seven thousand chariots... That is, of men who fought in chariots.
+
+19:19. And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by
+Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not
+help the children of Ammon any more.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 20
+
+Rabba is taken. Other victories over the Philistines.
+
+20:1. And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that
+kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength
+of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went
+and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote
+Rabba, and destroyed it.
+
+20:2. And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it
+a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a
+diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
+
+20:3. And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows,
+and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut
+and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of
+the children of Ammon: and he returned with all his people to Jerusalem.
+
+20:4. After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in
+which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and
+humbled them.
+
+20:5. Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which
+Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath
+the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
+
+20:6. There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of
+great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each
+hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.
+
+20:7. He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of
+David slew him. These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the
+hand of David and his servants.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 21
+
+David's sin in numbering the people is punished by a pestilence: which
+ceaseth upon his offering sacrifice in the thrashingfloor of Ornan.
+
+21:1. And Satan rose up against Israel: and moved David to number
+Israel.
+
+21:2. And David said to Joab, and to the rulers of the people: Go, and
+number Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, and bring me the number of them
+that I may know it.
+
+21:3. And Joab answered: The Lord make his people a hundred times more
+than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all thy servants: why
+doth my lord seek this thing, which may be imputed as a sin to Israel?
+
+21:4. But the king's word rather prevailed: and Joab departed, and went
+through all Israel: and returned to Jerusalem.
+
+21:5. And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and
+all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men
+that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand
+fighting men.
+
+The number, etc... The difference of the numbers here and 2 Kings 24. is
+to be accounted for, by supposing the greater number to be that which
+was really found, and the lesser to be that which Joab gave in.
+
+21:6. But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly
+executed the king's orders.
+
+21:7. And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he
+struck Israel.
+
+21:8. And David said to God: I have sinned exceedingly in doing this: I
+beseech thee take away the iniquity of thy servant, for I have done
+foolishly.
+
+21:9. And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer of David, saying:
+
+21:10. Go, and speak to David, and tell him: Thus saith the Lord: I give
+thee the choice of three things: choose one which thou wilt, and I will
+do it to thee.
+
+21:11. And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the
+Lord: choose which thou wilt:
+
+21:12. Either three years famine: or three months to flee from thy
+enemies, and not to be able to escape their sword: or three days to have
+the sword of the Lord, and pestilence in the land, and the angel of the
+Lord destroying in all the coasts of Israel: now therefore see what I
+shall answer him who sent me.
+
+Three years famine... Which joined with the three foregoing years of
+famine mentioned, 2 Kings 21. and the seventh year of the land's
+resting, would make up the seven years proposed by the prophet, 2 Kings
+24.13.
+
+21:13. And David said to Gad: I am on every side in a great strait: but
+it is better for me to fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercies
+are many, than into the hands of men.
+
+21:14. So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel. And there fell of
+Israel seventy thousand men.
+
+21:15. And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was
+striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the
+evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy
+hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashingfloor of Ornan the
+Jebusite.
+
+Ornan... Otherwise Areuna.
+
+21:16. And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing
+between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against
+Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down
+flat on the ground.
+
+21:17. And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to
+be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil:
+but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy
+hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and
+let not thy people be destroyed.
+
+21:18. And the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to tell David, to go up,
+and build an altar to the Lord God in the thrashingfloor of Ornan the
+Jebusite.
+
+21:19. And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke
+to him in the name of the Lord.
+
+21:20. Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons
+hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor.
+
+21:21. And as David was coming to Ornan, Ornan saw him, and went out of
+the thrashingfloor to meet him, and bowed down to him with his face to
+the ground.
+
+21:22. And David said to him: Give me this place of thy thrashingfloor,
+that I may build therein an altar to the Lord: but thou shalt take of me
+as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people.
+
+21:23. And Ornan said to David: Take it, and let my lord the king do all
+that pleaseth him: and moreover the oxen also I give for a holocaust,
+and the drays for wood, and the wheat for the sacrifice: I will give it
+all willingly.
+
+21:24. And king David said to him: It shall not be so, but I will give
+thee money as much as it is worth: for I must not take it from thee, and
+so offer to the Lord holocausts free cost.
+
+21:25. So David gave to Ornan for the place, six hundred sicles of gold
+of just weight.
+
+Six hundred sicles, etc... This was the price of the whole place, on
+which the temple was afterwards built; but the price of the oxen was
+fifty sicles of silver. 2 Kings 24.24.
+
+21:26. And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered
+holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he
+heard him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust.
+
+21:27. And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again
+into the sheath.
+
+21:28. And David seeing that the Lord had heard him in the
+thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, forthwith offered victims there.
+
+21:29. But the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desert,
+and the altar of holocausts, was at that time in the high place of
+Gabaon.
+
+21:30. And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he
+was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel
+of the Lord.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 22
+
+David having prepared all necessaries, chargeth Solomon to build the
+temple and the princes to assist him.
+
+22:1. Then David said: This is the house of God, And this is the altar
+for the holocaust of Israel.
+
+22:2. And he commanded to gather together all the proselytes of the land
+of Israel, and out of them he appointed stonecutters to hew stones and
+polish them, to build the house of God.
+
+22:3. And David prepared in abundance iron for the nails of the gates,
+and for the closures and joinings: and of brass an immense weight.
+
+22:4. And the cedar trees were without number, which the Sidonians, and
+Tyrians brought to David.
+
+22:5. And David said: Solomon my son is very young and tender, and the
+house which I would have to be built to the Lord, must be such as to be
+renowned in all countries: therefore I will prepare him necessaries. And
+therefore before his death he prepared all the charges.
+
+22:6. And he called for Solomon his son: and commanded him to build a
+house to the Lord the God of Israel.
+
+22:7. And David said to Solomon: My son, it was my desire to have built
+a house to the name of the Lord my God.
+
+22:8. But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Thou hast shed much
+blood, and fought many battles, so thou cannot not build house to my
+name, after shedding so much blood before me:
+
+22:9. The son, that shall be born to thee, shall be a most quiet man:
+for I will make him rest from all his enemies round about: and therefore
+he shall be called Peaceable: and I will give peace and quietness to
+Israel all his days.
+
+22:10. He shall build a house to my name, and he shall be a son to me,
+and I will be a father to him: and I will establish the throne of his
+kingdom over Israel for ever.
+
+22:11. Now then, my son, the Lord be with thee, and do thou prosper, and
+build the house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee.
+
+22:12. The Lord also give thee wisdom and understanding, that thou
+mayest be able to rule Israel, and to keep the law of the Lord thy God.
+
+22:13. For then thou shalt be able to prosper, if thou keep the
+commandments, and judgments, which the Lord commanded Moses to teach
+Israel: take courage and act manfully, fear not, nor be dismayed.
+
+22:14. Behold I in my poverty have prepared the charges of the house of
+the Lord, of gold a hundred thousand talents, and of silver a million of
+talents: but of brass, and of iron there is no weight, for the abundance
+surpasseth all account: timber also and stones I have prepared for all
+the charges.
+
+22:15. Thou hast also workmen in abundance, hewers of stones, and
+masons, and carpenters, and of all trades the most skilful in their
+work,
+
+22:16. In gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, whereof there
+is no number. Arise then, and be doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
+
+22:17. David also charged all the princes of Israel, to help Solomon his
+son,
+
+22:18. Saying: You see, that the Lord your God is with you, and hath
+given you rest round about, and hath delivered all your enemies into
+your hands, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his
+people.
+
+22:19. Give therefore your hearts and your souls, to seek the Lord your
+God and arise, and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, that the ark of
+the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may
+be brought into the house, which is built to the name of the Lord.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 23
+
+David appointeth Solomon king. The distribution of the Levites and their
+offices.
+
+23:1. David being old and full of days, made Solomon his son king over
+Israel.
+
+23:2. And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the
+priests and Levites.
+
+23:3. And the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years, and
+upwards: and there were found of them thirty-eight thousand men.
+
+23:4. Of these twenty-four thousand were chosen, and distributed unto
+the ministry of the house of the Lord: and six thousand were the
+overseers and judges.
+
+23:5. Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing
+to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with.
+
+23:6. And David distributed them into courses by the families of the
+sons of Levi, to wit, of Gerson, and of Caath, and of Merari.
+
+23:7. The sons of Gerson were Leedan and Semei.
+
+23:8. The sons of Leedan: the chief Jahiel, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
+
+23:9. The sons of Semei: Salomith, and Hosiel, and Aran, three: these
+were the heads of the families of Leedan.
+
+23:10. And the sons of Semei were Leheth, and Ziza, and Jaus, and Baria:
+these were the sons of Semei, four.
+
+23:11. And Leheth was the first, Ziza the second: but Jaus and Baria had
+not many children, and therefore they were counted in one family, and in
+one house.
+
+23:12. The sons of Caath were Amram, and Isaar, Hebron, and Oziel, four.
+
+23:13. The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses. And Aaron was separated to
+minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn
+incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless his
+name for ever.
+
+23:14. The sons also of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the
+tribe of Levi.
+
+23:15. The sons of Moses were Gersom and Eliezer:
+
+23:16. The sons of Gersom: Subuel the first.
+
+23:17. And the sons of Eliezer were: Rohobia the first: and Eliezer had
+no more sons. But the sons of Rohobia were multiplied exceedingly.
+
+23:18. The sons of Isaar: Salomith the first.
+
+23:19. The sons of Hebron: Jeriau the first, Amarias the second,
+Jahaziel the third, Jecmaam the fourth.
+
+23:20. The sons of Oziel: Micha the first, Jesia the second.
+
+23:21. The sons of Merari: Moholi, and Musi. The sons of Moholi: Eleazar
+and Cis.
+
+23:22. And Eleazar died, and had no sons but daughters: and the sons of
+Cis their brethren took them.
+
+23:23. The sons of Musi: Moholi, and Eder, and Jerimoth, three.
+
+23:24. These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families,
+princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the
+works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and
+upward.
+
+23:25. For David said: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his
+people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.
+
+23:26. And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more
+the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.
+
+23:27. So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are
+to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.
+
+23:28. And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the
+service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, and in the chambers,
+and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the
+works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
+
+23:29. And the priests have the charge of the loaves of proposition, and
+of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the
+fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.
+
+23:30. And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and
+to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,
+
+23:31. As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the
+sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities,
+according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing,
+continually before the Lord.
+
+23:32. And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the
+covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the
+sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the
+Lord.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 24
+
+The divisions of the priests into four and twenty courses, to serve in
+the temple: the chiefs of the Levites.
+
+24:1. Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron: The sons of
+Aaron: Nadab, and Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
+
+24:2. But Nadab and Abiu died before their father, and had no children:
+so Eleazar, and Ithamar did the office of the priesthood.
+
+24:3. And David distributed them, that is, Sadoc of the sons of Eleazar,
+and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their courses and
+ministry.
+
+24:4. And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the
+principal men, than of the sons of Ithamar. And he divided them so, that
+there were of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen chief men by their families:
+and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses.
+
+24:5. And he divided both the families one with the other by lot: for
+there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the
+sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
+
+24:6. And Semeias the son of Nathanael the scribe a Levite, wrote them
+down before the king and the princes, and Sadoc the priest, and
+Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the princes also of the priestly and
+Levitical families: one house, which was over the rest, of Eleazar: and
+another house, which had the rest under it, of Ithamar.
+
+24:7. Now the first lot came forth to Joiarib, the second to Jedei,
+
+24:8. The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
+
+24:9. The fifth to Melchia, the sixth to Maiman,

+
+24:18. The three and twentieth to Dalaiau, the four and twentieth to
+Maaziau.
+
+24:19. These are their courses according to their ministries, to come
+into the house of the Lord, and according to their manner under the hand
+of Aaron their father: as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded.
+
+24:20. Now of the rest of the sons of Levi, there was of the sons of
+Amram, Subael: and of the sons of Subael, Jehedeia.
+
+24:21. Also of the sons of Rohobia the chief Jesias.
+
+24:22. And the son of Isaar Salemoth, and the son of Salemoth Jahath:
+
+24:23. And his son Jeriau the first, Amarias the second, Jahaziel the
+third, Jecmaan the fourth.

+
+24:29. And the son of Cis, Jeramael.
+
+24:30. The sons of Musi: Moholi, Eder, and Jerimoth. These are the sons
+of Levi according to the houses of their families.
+
+24:31. And they also cast lots over against their brethren the sons of
+Aaron before David the king, and Sadoc, and Ahimelech, and the princes
+of the priestly and Levitical families, both the elder and the younger.
+The lot divided all equally.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 25
+
+The number and divisions of the musicians.
+
+25:1. Moreover David and the chief officers of the army separated for
+the ministry the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Idithun: to
+prophesy with harps, and with psalteries, and with cymbals according to
+their number serving in their appointed office.
+
+25:2. Of the sons of Asaph: Zacchur, and Joseph, and Nathania, and
+Asarela, sons of Asaph: under the hand of Asaph prophesying near the
+king.
+
+25:3. And of Idithun: the sons of Idithun, Godolias, Sori, Jeseias, and
+Hasabias, and Mathathias, under the hand of their father Idithun, who
+prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the Lord.
+
+25:4. Of Heman also: the sons of Heman, Bocciau, Mathaniau, Oziel,
+Subuel, and Jerimoth, Hananias, Hanani, Eliatha, Geddelthi, and
+Romemthiezer, and Jesbacassa, Mellothi, Othir, Mahazioth:
+
+25:5. All these were the sons of Heman the seer of the king in the words
+of God, to lift up the horn: and God gave to Heman fourteen sons and
+three daughters.
+
+25:6. All these under their father's hand were distributed to sing in
+the temple of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries and harps, for the
+service of the house of the Lord near the king: to wit, Asaph, and
+Idithun, and Heman.
+
+25:7. And the number of them with their brethren, that taught the song
+of the Lord, all the teachers, were two hundred and eighty-eight.
+
+25:8. And they cast lots by their courses, the elder equally with the
+younger, the learned and the unlearned together.

+25:9. And the first lot came forth to Joseph, who was of Asaph.  The
+second to Godolias, to him and his sons, and his brethren twelve.

+the Lord had blessed him.
+
+26:6. And to Semei his son were born sons, heads of their families: for
+they were men of great valour.
+
+26:7. The sons then of Semeias were Othni, and Raphael, and Obed,
+Elizabad, and his brethren most valiant men: and Eliu, and Samachias.
+
+26:8. All these of the sons of Obededom: they, and their sons, and their
+brethren most able men for service, sixty-two of Obededom.
+
+26:9. And the sons of Meselemia, and their brethren strong men, were
+eighteen.
+
+26:10. And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the chief,
+(for he had not a firstborn, and therefore his father made him chief.)
+
+He had not a firstborn... That is, his firstborn was either dead or not
+fit to be chief; and therefore he made Semri the chief.
+
+26:11. Helcias the second, Tabelias the third, Zacharias the fourth: all
+these the sons, and the brethren of Hosa, were thirteen.
+
+26:12. Among these were the divisions of the porters, so that the chiefs
+of the wards, as well as their brethren, always ministered in the house
+of the Lord.
+
+26:13. And they cast lots equally, both little and great, by their
+families for every one of the gates.
+
+26:14. And the lot of the east fell to Selemias. But to his son
+Zacharias, a very wise and learned man, the north gate fell by lot.
+
+26:15. And to Obededom and his sons that towards the south: in which
+part of the house was the council of the ancients.
+
+26:16. To Sephim, and Hosa towards the west, by the gate which leadeth
+to the way of the ascent: ward against ward.
+
+26:17. Now towards the east were six Levites: and towards the north four
+a day: and towards the south likewise four a day: and where the council
+was, two and two.
+
+26:18. In the cells also of the porters toward the west four in the way:
+and two at every cell.
+
+26:19. These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Core, and
+of Merari.
+
+26:20. Now Achias was over the treasures of the house of God, and the
+holy vessels.
+
+Holy vessels... Or vessels of the holy places, or of things holy. Vasa
+sanctorum.

+the families, of Ledan, and Gersonni, Jehieli.

+
+26:25. His brethren also, Eliezer, whose son Rohobia, and his son
+Isaias, and his son Joram, and his son Zechri, and his son Selemith.
+
+26:26. Which Selemith and his brethren were over the treasures of the
+holy things, which king David, and the heads of families, and the
+captains over thousands and over hundreds, and the captains of the host
+had dedicated,
+
+26:27. Out of the wars, and the spoils won in battles, which they had
+consecrated to the building and furniture of the temple of the Lord.
+
+26:28. And all these things that Samuel the seer and Saul the son of
+Cis, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Sarvia had
+sanctified: and whosoever had sanctified those things, they were under
+the hand of Selemith and his brethren.
+
+26:29. But Chonenias and his sons were over the Isaarites, for the
+business abroad over Israel to teach them and judge them.
+
+26:30. And of the Hebronites Hasabias, and his brethren most able men, a
+thousand seven hundred had the charge over Israel beyond the Jordan
+westward, in all the works of the Lord, and for the service of the king.
+
+26:31. And the chief of the Hebronites was Jeria according to their
+families and kindreds. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they
+were numbered, and there were found most valiant men in Jazer Galaad,
+
+26:32. And his brethren of stronger age, two thousand seven hundred
+chiefs of families. And king David made them rulers over the Rubenites
+and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses, for all the service of
+God, and the king.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 27
+
+The twelve captains for every month; the twelve princes of the tribes.
+David's several officers.
+
+27:1. Now the children of Israel according to their number, the heads of
+families, captains of thousands and of hundreds, and officers, that
+served the king according to their companies, who came in and went out
+every month in the year, under every chief were four and twenty
+thousand.

+27:2. Over the first company the first month Jesboam, the son of Zabdiel
+was chief, and under him were four and twenty thousand.
+
+27:3. Of the sons of Phares, the chief of all the captains in the host
+in the first month.
+
+27:4. The company of the second month was under Dudia, an Ahohite, and
+after him was another named Macelloth, who commanded a part of the army
+of four and twenty thousand.
+
+27:5. And the captain of the third company for the third month, was
+Banaias the son of Joiada the priest: and in his division were four and
+twenty thousand.
+
+27:6. This is that Banaias the most valiant among the thirty, and above
+the thirty. And Amizabad his son commanded his company.
+
+27:7. The fourth, for the fourth month, was Asahel the brother of Joab,
+and Zabadias his son after him: and in his company were four and twenty
+thousand.
+
+27:8. The fifth captain for the fifth month, was Samaoth a Jezerite: and

+
+27:15. The twelfth, for the twelfth month, was Holdai a Netophathite, of
+the race of Gothoniel: and in his company were four and twenty thousand.

+
+27:22. And over Dan, Ezrihel the son of Jeroham: these were the princes
+of the children of Israel.
+
+27:23. But David would not number them from twenty years old and under:
+because the lord had said that he would multiply Israel like the stars
+of heaven.
+
+27:24. Joab the son of Sarvia began to number, but he finished not:
+because upon this there fell wrath upon Israel: and therefore the number
+of them that were numbered, was not registered in the chronicles of king
+David.
+
+27:25. And over the king's treasures was Azmoth the son of Adiel: and
+over those stores which were in the cities, and in the villages, and, in
+the castles, was Jonathan the son of Ozias.
+
+27:26. And over the tillage, and the husbandmen, who tilled the ground,
+was Ezri the son of Chelub:
+
+27:27. And over the dressers of the vine yards, was Semeias a Romathite:
+and over the wine cellars, Zabdias an Aphonite.
+
+27:28. And over the oliveyards and the fig groves, which were in the
+plains, was Balanam a Gederite: and over the oil cellars, Joas.
+
+27:29. And over the herds that fed in Saron, was Setrai a Saronite: and
+over the oxen in the valleys, Saphat the son of Adli:
+
+27:30. And over the camels, Ubil an Ishmahelite and over the asses,
+Jadias a Meronathite:
+
+27:31. And over the sheep Jaziz an Agarene. All these were the rulers of
+the substance of king David.
+
+27:32. And Jonathan David's uncle, a counsellor, a wise and learned man:
+he and Jahiel the son of Hachamoni were with the king's sons.
+
+27:33. And Achitophel was the king's counsellor, and Chusai the
+Arachite, the king's friend.
+
+27:34. And after Achitophel was Joiada the son of Banaias, and Abiathar.
+And the general of the king's army was Joab.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 28
+
+David's speech, in a solemn assembly: his exhortation to Solomon. He
+giveth him a pattern of the temple.
+
+28:1. And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of
+the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king:
+and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the
+charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with
+the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of
+the army at Jerusalem.
+
+28:2. And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren
+and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark
+of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and prepared all
+things for the building.
+
+28:3. And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name:
+because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
+
+28:4. But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father,
+to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and
+of the house of Juda, my father's house: and among the sons of my
+father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.
+
+28:5. And among 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.
+
+28:6. And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my
+courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to
+him.
+
+28:7. And I will establish his kingdom for ever, it he continue to keep
+my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.
+
+28:8. Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our
+God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that
+you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after
+you for ever.
+
+28:9. And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him
+with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all
+hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him,
+thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for
+ever.
+
+28:10. Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house
+of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.
+
+28:11. And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and
+of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the
+inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,
+
+28:12. As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of
+the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord,
+and for the treasures of the consecrated things,
+
+28:13. And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all
+the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the
+service of the temple of the Lord.
+
+28:14. Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by
+weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.
+
+28:15. He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps,
+according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof.
+In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver
+candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the
+dimensions of them.
+
+28:16. He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the
+diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of
+silver.
+
+28:17. For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censors of fine gold, and for
+little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for
+every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a
+different weight of silver.
+
+28:18. And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to
+make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings,
+and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
+
+28:19. All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the
+Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.
+
+28:20. And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take
+courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will
+be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast
+finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
+
+28:21. Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every
+ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and
+both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy
+commandments.
+
+1 Paralipomenon Chapter 29
+
+David by word and example encourageth the princes to contribute
+liberally to the building of the temple. His thanksgiving, prayer, and
+sacrifices: his death.
+
+29:1. And king David said to all the assembly: Solomon my son, whom
+alone God hath chosen, is as yet young and tender: and the work is
+great, for a house is prepared not for man, but for God.
+
+29:2. And I with all my ability have prepared the expenses for the house
+of my God. Gold for vessels of gold, and silver for vessels of silver,
+brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, wood for things of
+wood: and onyx stones, and stones like alabaster, and of divers colours,
+and all manner of precious stones, and marble of Paros in great
+abundance.
+
+29:3. Now over and above the things which I have offered into the house
+of my God I give of my own proper goods, gold and silver for the temple
+of my God, beside what things I have prepared for the holy house.
+
+29:4. Three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir: and seven
+thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the temple.
+
+29:5. And gold for wheresoever there is need of gold: and silver for
+wheresoever there is need of silver, for the works to be made by the
+hands of the artificers: now if any man is willing to offer, let him
+fill his hand to day, and offer what he pleaseth to the Lord.
+
+29:6. Then the heads of the families, and the princes of the tribes of
+Israel and the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and the overseers
+of the king's possessions promised,
+
+29:7. And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord, of gold,
+five thousand talents, and ten thousand solids: of silver ten thousand
+talents: and of brass eighteen thousand talents: and of iron a hundred
+thousand talents.
+
+29:8. And all they that had stones, gave them to the treasures of the
+house of the Lord, by the hand of Jahiel the Gersonite.
+
+29:9. And the people rejoiced, when they promised their offerings
+willingly: because they offered them to the Lord with all their heart:
+and David the king rejoiced also with a great joy.
+
+29:10. And he blessed the Lord before all the multitude, and he said:
+Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to
+eternity.
+
+29:11. Thine, O Lord, is magnificence, and power, and glory, and
+victory: and to thee is praise: for all that is in heaven, and in earth,
+is thine: thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art above all princes.
+
+29:12. Thine are riches, and thine is glory, thou hast dominion over
+all, in thy hand is power and might: in thy hand greatness, and the
+empire of all things.
+
+29:13. Now therefore our God we give thanks to thee, and we praise thy
+glorious name.
+
+29:14. Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to
+promise thee all these things? all things are thine: and we have given
+thee what we received of thy hand.
+
+29:15. For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were all our
+fathers. I Our days upon earth are as a shadow, and there is no stay.
+
+29:16. O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build
+thee a house for thy holy name, is from thy hand, and all things are
+thine.
+
+29:17. I know my God that thou provest hearts, and lovest simplicity,
+wherefore I also in the simplicity of my heart, have joyfully offered
+all these things: and I have seen with great joy thy people, which are
+here present, offer thee their offerings.
+
+29:18. O Lord God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel our fathers,
+keep for ever this will of their heart, and let this mind remain always
+for the worship of thee.
+
+29:19. And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, that he may keep thy
+commandments, thy testimonies, and thy ceremonies, and do all things:
+and build the house, for which I have provided the charges.
+
+29:20. And David commanded all the assembly: Bless ye the Lord our God.
+And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers: and they
+bowed themselves and worshipped God, and then the king.
+
+29:21. And they sacrificed victims to the Lord: and they offered
+holocausts the next day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a
+thousand lambs, with their libations, and with every thing prescribed
+most abundantly for all Israel.
+
+29:22. And they ate, and drank before the Lord that day with great joy.
+And they anointed the second time Solomon the son of David. And they
+anointed him to the Lord to be prince, and Sadoc to be high priest.
+
+29:23. And Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of
+David his father, and he pleased all: and all Israel obeyed him.
+
+29:24. And all the princes, and men of power, and all the sons of king
+David gave their hand, and were subject to Solomon the king.
+
+29:25. And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel: and gave him the
+glory of a reign, such as no king of Israel had before him.
+
+29:26. So David the son of Isai reigned over all Israel.
+
+29:27. And the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years: in
+Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem three and thirty years.
+
+29:28. And he died in a good age, full of days, and riches, and glory.
+And Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
+
+29:29. Now the acts of king David first and last 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:
+
+29:30. And of all his reign, and his valour, and of the times that
+passed under him, either in Israel, or in all the kingdoms of the
+countries.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project

+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+
+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!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
