And Ram begot Aminadab, and Aminadab begot Nahasson, prince of the +children of Juda. + +Ram... He is commonly called Aram. But it is to be observed here, once +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 +many proper names, as here occur in the first nine chapters of this +book, that the transcribers of the ancient Hebrew copies may have made +some slips in the orthography. + +2:11.

All these, the sons of Machir +father of Galaad. + +2:24. And when Hesron was dead, Caleb went in to Ephrata. Hesron also +had to wife Abia who bore him Ashur the father of Thecua. + +2:25. And the sons of Jerameel the firstborn of Hesron, were Ram his +firstborn, and Buna, and Aram, and Asom, and Achia. + +2:26.

These were the sons of Caleb, the son of Hur the firstborn of +Ephrata, Sobal the father of Cariathiarim. + +2:51. Salma the father of Bethlehem, Hariph the father of Bethgader. + +2:52. And Sobal the father of Cariathiarim had sons: he that saw half of +the places of rest. + +He that saw, etc... The Latin interpreter seems to have given us here, +instead of the proper names, the meaning of those names in the Hebrew. +He has done in like manner, ver. 55. + +2:53. And of the kindred of Cariathiarim, the Jethrites, and Aphuthites, +and Semathites, and Maserites. Of them came the Saraites, and +Esthaolites. + +2:54.

But of the race of Juda, who was the strongest among his brethren, +came the princes: but the first birthright was accounted to Joseph.) + +Accounted to Joseph...

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, + +24:10. The seventh to Accos, the eighth to Abia, + +24:11. The ninth to Jesua, the tenth to Sechenia, + +24:12. The eleventh to Eliasib, the twelfth to Jacim, + +24:13. The thirteenth to Hoppha, the fourteenth to Isbaab, + +24:14. The fifteenth to Belga, the sixteenth to Emmer, + +24:15. The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses, + +24:16. The nineteenth to Pheteia, the twentieth to Hezechiel, + +24:17. The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul, + +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.

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.

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.

And the divisions of the porters: of the Corites Meselemia, the +son of Core, of the sons of Asaph. + +26:2. The sons of Meselemia: Zacharias the firstborn, Jadihel the +second, Zabadias the third, Jathanael the fourth, + +26:3. Elam the fifth, Johanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh. + +26:4. And the sons of Obededom, Semeias the firstborn, Jozabad the +second, Joaha the third, Sachar the fourth, Nathanael the fifth, + +26:5. Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Phollathi the eighth: for +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. + +26:21. The sons of Ledan, the sons of Gersonni: of Ledan were heads of +the families, of Ledan, and Gersonni, Jehieli. + +26:22. The sons of Jehieli: Zathan and Joel, his brethren over the +treasures of the house of the Lord, + +26:23. With the Amramites, and Isaarites, and Hebronites, and Ozielites. + +26:24. And Subael the son of Gersom, the son of Moses, was chief over +the treasures. + +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 +his company were four and twenty thousand. + +27:9. The sixth, for the sixth month, was Hira the son of Acces a +Thecuite: and in his company were four and twenty thousand. + +27:10. The seventh, for the seventh month, was Helles a Phallonite of +the sons of Ephraim: and in his company were four and twenty thousand. + +27:11. The eighth, for the eighth month, was Sobochai a Husathite of the +race of Zarahi: and in his company were four and twenty thousand. + +27:12. The ninth, for the ninth month, was Abiezer an Anathothite of the +sons of Jemini, and in his company were four and twenty thousand. + +27:13. The tenth, for the tenth month, was Marai, who was a Netophathite +of the race of Zarai: and in his company were four and twenty thousand. + +27:14. The eleventh, for the eleventh month, was Banaias, a Pharathonite +of the sons of Ephraim: and in his company were four and twenty +thousand. + +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. + +27:16. Now the chiefs over the tribes of Israel were these: over the +Rubenites, Eliezer the son of Zechri was ruler: over the Simeonites, +Saphatias the son of Maacha: + +27:17. Over the Levites, Hasabias the son of Camuel: over the Aaronites, +Sadoc: + +27:18. Over Juda, Eliu the brother of David over Issachar, Amri the son +of Michael: + +27:19. Over the Zabulonites, Jesmaias the son of Adias: over the +Nephtalites, Jerimoth the son of Ozriel: + +27:20. Over the sons of Ephraim, Osee the son of Ozaziu: over the half +tribe of Manasses, Joel the son of Phadaia: + +27:21. And over the half tribe of Manasses in Galaad, Jaddo the son of +Zacharias: and over Benjamin, Jasiel the son of Abner. + +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. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 13 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8313.txt or 8313.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +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.

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. + +Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated): + +eBooks Year Month + + 1 1971 July + 10 1991 January + 100 1994 January + 1000 1997 August + 1500 1998 October + 2000 1999 December + 2500 2000 December + 3000 2001 November + 4000 2001 October/November + 6000 2002 December* + 9000 2003 November* +10000 2004 January* + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created +to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +As of February, 2002, contributions are being solicited from people +and organizations in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, +Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, +Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, +Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New +Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, +Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South +Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West +Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. + +We have filed in all 50 states now, but these are the only ones +that have responded. + +As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list +will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. +Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state. + +In answer to various questions we have received on this: + +We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally +request donations in all 50 states.
