27 Now Shimei 8096 had sixteen sons 1121 and six 8337 daughters 1323; but his brothers 251 did not have 369 many 7227 sons 1121, nor 3808 did all 3605 their family 4940 multiply 7235 like 5704 the sons 1121 of Judah 3063.

33 and all 3605 their villages 2691 that {were} around 5439 the same 428 cities 5892 as far 5704 as Baal 1168. These 2088 {were} their settlements 4186, and they have their genealogy 3187.
34 ¶ Meshobab 4877 and Jamlech 3230 and Joshah 3144 the son 1121 of Amaziah 558,

38 these 428 mentioned 935 by name 8034 {were} leaders 5387 in their families 4940; and their fathers' 1 houses 1004 increased 6555 greatly 7230.
39 They went 1980 to the entrance 3996 of Gedor 1446, even 5704 to the east 4217 side 4217 of the valley 1516, to seek 1245 pasture 4829 for their flocks 6629.
40 They found 4672 rich 8082 and good 2896 pasture 4829, and the land 776 was broad 7342 and quiet 8252 and peaceful 7961; for those who lived 3427 there 8033 formerly 6440 {were} Hamites.
41 These 428, recorded 3789 by name 8034, came 935 in the days 3117 of Hezekiah 2396 king 4428 of Judah 3063, and attacked 5221 their tents 168 and the Meunites 4586 who 834 were found 4672 there 8033, and destroyed 2763 them utterly 2763 to this 2088 day 3117, and lived 3427 in their place 8478, because 3588 there was pasture 4829 there 8033 for their flocks 6629.
42 From them, from the sons 1121 of Simeon 8095, five 2568 hundred 3967 men 376 went 1980 to Mount 2022 Seir 8165, with Pelatiah 6410, Neariah 5294, Rephaiah 7509 and Uzziel 5816, the sons 1121 of Ishi 3469, as their leaders 7218.

Genealogy from Reuben

Now the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 the firstborn 1060 of Israel 3478 (for he was the firstborn 1060, but because he defiled 2490 his father's 1 bed 3326, his birthright 1062 was given 5414 to the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130 the son 1121 of Israel 3478; so that he is not enrolled 3187 in the genealogy 3187 according to the birthright 1062.
2 Though 3588 Judah 3063 prevailed 1396 over his brothers 251, and from him {came} the leader 5057, yet the birthright 1062 belonged to Joseph 3130),
3 the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 the firstborn 1060 of Israel 3478 {were} Hanoch 2585 and Pallu 6396, Hezron 2696 and Carmi 3756.

6 Beerah 880 his son 1121, whom 834 Tilgath-pilneser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria 804 carried 1540 away 1540 into exile 1540; he was leader 5387 of the Reubenites 7206.
7 His kinsmen 251 by their families 4940, in the genealogy 3187 of their generations 8435, {were} Jeiel 3262 the chief 7218, then Zechariah 2148
8 and Bela 1106 the son 1121 of Azaz 5811, the son 1121 of Shema 8087, the son 1121 of Joel 3100, who 1931 lived 3427 in Aroer 6177, even to Nebo 5015 and Baal-meon 1186.
9 To the east 4217 he settled 3427 as far 5704 as the entrance 935 of the wilderness 4057 from the river 5104 Euphrates 6578, because 3588 their cattle 4735 had increased 7235 in the land 776 of Gilead 1568.
10 In the days 3117 of Saul 7586 they made 6213 war 4421 with the Hagrites 1905, who fell 5307 by their hand 3027, so that they occupied 3427 their tents 168 throughout 5921 all 3605 the land 6440 east 4217 of Gilead 1568.
11 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 lived 3427 opposite 5048 them in the land 776 of Bashan 1316 as far 5704 as Salecah 5548.
12 Joel 3100 {was} the chief 7218 and Shapham 8223 the second 4932, then Janai 3285 and Shaphat 8202 in Bashan 1316.
13 Their kinsmen 251 of their fathers' 1 households 1004 {were} Michael 4317, Meshullam 4918, Sheba 7652, Jorai 3140, Jacan 3275, Zia 2127 and Eber 5677, seven 7651.
14 These 428 {were} the sons 1121 of Abihail 32, the son 1121 of Huri 2359, the son 1121 of Jaroah 3386, the son 1121 of Gilead 1568, the son 1121 of Michael 4317, the son 1121 of Jeshishai 3454, the son 1121 of Jahdo 3163, the son 1121 of Buz 938;
15 Ahi 277 the son 1121 of Abdiel 5661, the son 1121 of Guni 1476, {was} head 7218 of their fathers' 1 households 1004.
16 They lived 3427 in Gilead 1568, in Bashan 1316 and in its towns 1323, and in all 3605 the pasture 4054 lands 4054 of Sharon 8289, as far 5921 as their borders 8444.
17 All 3605 of these were enrolled 3187 in the genealogies 3187 in the days 3117 of Jotham 3147 king 4428 of Judah 3063 and in the days 3117 of Jeroboam 3379 king 4428 of Israel 3478.
18 ¶ The sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the Gadites 1425 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519, {consisting} of valiant 2428 men 1121, men 376 who bore 5375 shield 4043 and sword 2719 and shot 1869 with bow 7198 and {were} skillful 3925 in battle 4421, {were} 44,760, who went 3318 to war 6635.
19 They made 6213 war 4421 against 5973 the Hagrites 1905, Jetur 3195, Naphish 5305 and Nodab 5114.
20 They were helped 5826 against 5921 them, and the Hagrites 1905 and all 3605 who {were} with them were given 5414 into their hand 3027; for they cried 2199 out to God 430 in the battle 4421, and He answered 6279 their prayers 6279 because 3588 they trusted 982 in Him.
21 They took 7617 away 7617 their cattle 4735: their 50,000 camels 1581, 250,000 sheep 6629, 2,000 505 donkeys 2543; and 100,000 men.
22 For many 7227 fell 5307 slain 2491, because 3588 the war 4421 {was} of God 430. And they settled 3427 in their place 8478 until 5704 the exile 1473.
23 ¶ Now the sons 1121 of the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 lived 3427 in the land 776; from Bashan 1316 to Baal-hermon 1179 and Senir 8149 and Mount 2022 Hermon 2768 they were numerous 7235.
24 These 428 were the heads 7218 of their fathers' 1 households 1004, even Epher 6081, Ishi 3469, Eliel 447, Azriel 5837, Jeremiah 3414, Hodaviah 1938 and Jahdiel 3164, mighty 1368 men 376 of valor 2428, famous 8034 men 376, heads 7218 of their fathers' 1 households 1004.
25 ¶ But they acted 4603 treacherously 4603 against the God 430 of their fathers 1 and played 2181 the harlot 2181 after 310 the gods 430 of the peoples 5971 of the land 776, whom 834 God 430 had destroyed 8045 before them.
26 So the God 430 of Israel 3478 stirred 5782 up the spirit 7307 of Pul 6322, king 4428 of Assyria 804, even the spirit 7307 of Tilgath-pilneser 8407 king 4428 of Assyria 804, and he carried 1540 them away 1540 into exile 1540, namely the Reubenites 7206, the Gadites 1425 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519, and brought 935 them to Halah 2477, Habor 2249, Hara 2024 and to the river 5104 of Gozan 1470, to this 2088 day 3117.

17 ¶ Now the gatekeepers 7778 {were} Shallum 7967 and Akkub 6126 and Talmon 2929 and Ahiman 289 and their relatives 251 (Shallum 7967 the chief 7218
18 {being stationed} until 5704 now 2008 at the king's 4428 gate 8179 to the east 4217). These 1992 {were} the gatekeepers 7778 for the camp 4264 of the sons 1121 of Levi 3878.

21 Zechariah 2148 the son 1121 of Meshelemiah 4920 was gatekeeper 7778 of the entrance 6607 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150.

23 So they and their sons 1121 had charge 5921 of the gates 8179 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, {even} the house 1004 of the tent 168, as guards 4931.
24 The gatekeepers 7778 were on the four 702 sides 7307, to the east 4217, west 3220, north 6828 and south 5045.
25 Their relatives 251 in their villages 2691 {were} to come 935 in every seven 7651 days 3117 from time 6256 to time 6256 {to be} with them;

29 Some 4480 of them also were appointed 4487 over 5921 the furniture 3627 and over 5921 all 3605 the utensils 3627 of the sanctuary 6944 and over 5921 the fine 5560 flour 5560 and the wine 3196 and the oil 8081 and the frankincense 3828 and the spices 1314.
30 Some 4480 of the sons 1121 of the priests 3548 prepared 7543 the mixing 4842 of the spices 1314.
31 Mattithiah 4993, one of the Levites 3881, who 1931 was the firstborn 1060 of Shallum 7967 the Korahite 7145, had the responsibility 530 over 5921 the things 4639 which were baked 2281 in pans 2281.

33 ¶ Now these 428 are the singers 7891, heads 7218 of fathers' 1 {households} of the Levites 3881, {who lived} in the chambers 3957 {of the temple} free 6362 {from other service;} for they were engaged 5921 in their work 4399 day 3119 and night 3915.
34 These 428 were heads 7218 of fathers' 1 {households} of the Levites 3881 according to their generations 8435, chief 7218 men 7218, who 428 lived 3427 in Jerusalem 3389.

Defeat and Death of Saul and His Sons

Now the Philistines 6430 fought 3898 against Israel 3478; and the men 376 of Israel 3478 fled 5127 before the Philistines 6430 and fell 5307 slain 2491 on Mount 2022 Gilboa 1533.
2 The Philistines 6430 closely 1692 pursued 1692 Saul 7586 and his sons 1121, and the Philistines 6430 struck 5221 down 5221 Jonathan 3083, Abinadab 41 and Malchi-shua 4444, the sons 1121 of Saul 7586.
3 The battle 4421 became 3513 heavy 3513 against 5921 Saul 7586, and the archers overtook 4672 him; and he was wounded 2342 by the archers 3384.
4 Then Saul 7586 said 559 to his armor 3627 bearer 5375, "Draw 8025 your sword 2719 and thrust 1856 me through 1856 with it, otherwise 6435 these 428 uncircumcised 6189 will come 935 and abuse 5953 me." But his armor 3627 bearer 5375 would 14 not, for he was greatly 3966 afraid 3372. Therefore Saul 7586 took 3947 his sword 2719 and fell 5307 on it.
5 When his armor 3627 bearer 5375 saw 7200 that Saul 7586 was dead 4191, he likewise 1571 fell 5307 on his sword 2719 and died 4191.
6 Thus Saul 7586 died 4191 with his three 7969 sons 1121, and all 3605 {those} of his house 1004 died 4191 together 3164.
7 ¶ When all 3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478 who 834 were in the valley 6010 saw 7200 that they had fled 5127, and that Saul 7586 and his sons 1121 were dead 4191, they forsook 5800 their cities 5892 and fled 5127; and the Philistines 6430 came 935 and lived 3427 in them.
8 ¶ It came 1961 about the next 4283 day 4283, when the Philistines 6430 came 935 to strip 6584 the slain 2491, that they found 4672 Saul 7586 and his sons 1121 fallen 5307 on Mount 2022 Gilboa 1533.
9 So they stripped 6584 him and took 5375 his head 7218 and his armor 3627 and sent 7971 {messengers} around 5439 the land 776 of the Philistines 6430 to carry 1319 the good news 1319 to their idols 6091 and to the people 5971.
10 They put 7760 his armor 3627 in the house 1004 of their gods 430 and fastened 8628 his head 1538 in the house 1004 of Dagon 1712.

Jabesh-gilead's Tribute to Saul

When all 3605 Jabesh-gilead heard 8085 all 3605 that the Philistines 6430 had done 6213 to Saul 7586,
12 all 3605 the valiant 2428 men 376 arose 6965 and took 5375 away the body 1480 of Saul 7586 and the bodies 1480 of his sons 1121 and brought 935 them to Jabesh 3003, and they buried 6912 their bones 6106 under 8478 the oak 424 in Jabesh 3003, and fasted 6684 seven 7651 days 3117.
13 ¶ So Saul 7586 died 4191 for his trespass 4604 which 834 he committed 4603 against the LORD 3068, because 5921 of the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which 834 he did not keep 8104; and also 1571 because he asked 7592 counsel of a medium 178, making 1875 inquiry 1875 {of it,}
14 and did not inquire 1875 of the LORD 3068. Therefore He killed 4191 him and turned 5437 the kingdom 4410 to David 1732 the son 1121 of Jesse 3448.

Chapter 11

David Made King over All Israel

Then all 3605 Israel 3478 gathered 6908 to David 1732 at Hebron 2275 and said 559, "Behold 2009, we are your bone 6106 and your flesh 1320.
2 "In times past, even 1571 when Saul 7586 was king 4428, you {were} the one who led 3318 out and brought 935 in Israel 3478; and the LORD 3068 your God 430 said 559 to you, 'You shall shepherd 7462 My people 5971 Israel 3478, and you shall be prince 5057 over 5921 My people 5971 Israel 3478.'"
3 So all 3605 the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 came 935 to the king 4428 at Hebron 2275, and David 1732 made 3772 a covenant 1285 with them in Hebron 2275 before 6440 the LORD 3068; and they anointed 4886 David 1732 king 4428 over 5921 Israel 3478, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 through 3027 Samuel 8050.

Jerusalem, Capital City

¶ Then David 1732 and all 3605 Israel 3478 went 1980 to Jerusalem 3389 (that is, Jebus 2982); and the Jebusites 2983, the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776, {were} there 8033.
5 The inhabitants 3427 of Jebus 2982 said 559 to David 1732, "You shall not enter 935 here 2008." Nevertheless David 1732 captured 3920 the stronghold 4686 of Zion 6726 (that is, the city 5892 of David 1732).
6 Now David 1732 had said 559, "Whoever 3605 strikes 5221 down 5221 a Jebusite 2983 first 7223 shall be chief 7218 and commander 8269." Joab 3097 the son 1121 of Zeruiah 6870 went 5927 up first 7223, so he became 1961 chief 7218.
7 Then David 1732 dwelt 3427 in the stronghold 4679; therefore it was called 7121 the city 5892 of David 1732.
8 He built 1129 the city 5892 all 5439 around 5439, from the Millo 4407 even to the surrounding 5439 area 5439; and Joab 3097 repaired 2421 the rest 7605 of the city 5892.
9 David 1732 became 1980 greater 1980 and greater 1419, for the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 {was} with him.

David's Mighty Men

Now these 428 are the heads 7218 of the mighty 1368 men 1368 whom 834 David 1732 had, who gave 2388 him strong 2388 support 2388 in his kingdom 4438, together 5973 with all 3605 Israel 3478, to make 4427 him king 4427, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 concerning 5921 Israel 3478.
11 These 428 {constitute} the list 4557 of the mighty 1368 men 1368 whom 834 David 1732 had: Jashobeam 3434, the son 1121 of a Hachmonite 2453, the chief 7218 of the thirty 7970; he lifted 5782 up his spear 2595 against 5921 three 7969 hundred 3967 whom he killed 2491 at one 259 time 6471.
12 ¶ After 310 him was Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Dodo 1734, the Ahohite 266, who 1931 {was} one of the three 7969 mighty 1368 men 1368.
13 He was with David 1732 at Pasdammim 6450 when the Philistines 6430 were gathered 622 together there 8033 to battle 4421, and there was a plot 2513 of ground 7704 full 4392 of barley 8184; and the people 5971 fled 5127 before the Philistines 6430.
14 They took 3320 their stand 3320 in the midst 8432 of the plot 2513 and defended 5337 it, and struck 5221 down 5221 the Philistines 6430; and the LORD 3068 saved 3467 them by a great 1419 victory 8668.
15 ¶ Now three 7969 of the thirty 7970 chief 7218 men 7218 went 3381 down 3381 to the rock 6697 to David 1732, into the cave 4631 of Adullam 5725, while the army 4264 of the Philistines 6430 was camping 2583 in the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497.
16 David 1732 was then 227 in the stronghold 4686, while the garrison 5333 of the Philistines 6430 {was} then 227 in Bethlehem 1035.
17 David 1732 had 183 a craving 183 and said 559, "Oh 4310 that someone 4310 would give 8248 me water 4325 to drink 8248 from the well 953 of Bethlehem 1035, which 834 is by the gate 8179!"
18 So the three 7969 broke 1234 through 1234 the camp 4264 of the Philistines 6430 and drew 7579 water 4325 from the well 953 of Bethlehem 1035 which 834 {was} by the gate 8179, and took 5375 {it} and brought 935 {it} to David 1732; nevertheless David 1732 would 14 not drink 8354 it, but poured 5258 it out to the LORD 3068;
19 and he said 559, "Be it far 2486 from me before 4480 my God 430 that I should do 6213 this 2088. Shall I drink 8354 the blood 1818 of these 428 men 376 {who went} at the risk of their lives 5315? For at the risk of their lives 5315 they brought 935 it." Therefore he would 14 not drink 8354 it. These 428 things 428 the three 7969 mighty 1368 men 1368 did 6213.
20 ¶ As for Abshai 52 the brother 251 of Joab 3097, he was chief 7218 of the thirty 7970, and he swung 5782 his spear 2595 against 5921 three 7969 hundred 3967 and killed 2491 them; and he had a name 8034 as well as the thirty 7970.
21 Of the three 7969 in the second 8147 {rank} he was the most honored 3513 and became 1961 their commander 8269; however, he did not attain 935 to the {first} three 7969.
22 ¶ Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077, the son 1121 of a valiant 2428 man 376 of Kabzeel 6909, mighty 7227 in deeds 6467, struck 5221 down 5221 the two 8147 {sons of} Ariel 739 of Moab 4124. He also went 3381 down 3381 and killed 5221 a lion 738 inside 8432 a pit 953 on a snowy 7950 day 3117.
23 He killed 5221 an Egyptian 4713, a man 376 of {great} stature 4060 five 2568 cubits 520 tall. Now in the Egyptian's 4713 hand 3027 {was} a spear 2595 like a weaver's 707 beam 4500, but he went 3381 down 3381 to him with a club 7626 and snatched 1497 the spear 2595 from the Egyptian's 4713 hand 3027 and killed 2026 him with his own spear 2595.
24 These 428 {things} Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077 did 6213, and had a name 8034 as well as the three 7969 mighty 1368 men 1368.
25 Behold 2009, he was honored 3513 among 4480 the thirty 7970, but he did not attain 935 to the three 7969; and David 1732 appointed 7760 him over 5921 his guard 4928.
26 ¶ Now the mighty 1368 men 1368 of the armies 2428 {were} Asahel 6214 the brother 251 of Joab 3097, Elhanan 445 the son 1121 of Dodo 1734 of Bethlehem 1035,

David's Supporters in Ziklag

Now these 428 are the ones who came 935 to David 1732 at Ziklag 6860, while he was still 5750 restricted 6113 because of Saul 7586 the son 1121 of Kish 7027; and they were among the mighty 1368 men 1368 who helped 5826 {him} in war 4421.
2 They were equipped 5401 with bows 7198, using both the right 3231 hand 3231 and the left 8041 {to sling} stones 68 and {to shoot} arrows 2671 from the bow 7198; {they were} Saul's 7586 kinsmen 251 from Benjamin 1144.
3 The chief 7218 was Ahiezer 295, then Joash 3060, the sons 1121 of Shemaah 8094 the Gibeathite 1395; and Jeziel 3149 and Pelet 6404, the sons 1121 of Azmaveth 5820, and Beracah 1294 and Jehu 3058 the Anathothite 6069,
4 and Ishmaiah 3460 the Gibeonite 1393, a mighty 1368 man 1368 among the thirty 7970, and over 5921 the thirty 7970. Then Jeremiah 3414, Jahaziel 3166, Johanan 3076, Jozabad 3107 the Gederathite 1452,
5 Eluzai 498, Jerimoth 3406, Bealiah 1183, Shemariah 8114, Shephatiah 8203 the Haruphite 2741,
6 Elkanah 511, Isshiah 3449, Azarel 5832, Joezer 3134, Jashobeam 3434, the Korahites 7145,
7 and Joelah 3132 and Zebadiah 2069, the sons 1121 of Jeroham 3395 of Gedor 1446.
8 ¶ From the Gadites 1425 there came 914 over 914 to David 1732 in the stronghold 4679 in the wilderness 4057, mighty 1368 men 1368 of valor 2428, men 376 trained 6635 for war 4421, who could handle 6186 shield 6793 and spear 7420, and whose faces 6440 were like the faces 6440 of lions 743, and {they were} as swift 4116 as the gazelles 6643 on the mountains 2022.
9 Ezer 5829 {was} the first 7218, Obadiah 5662 the second 8145, Eliab 446 the third 7992,
10 Mishmannah 4925 the fourth 7243, Jeremiah 3414 the fifth 2549,
11 Attai 6262 the sixth 8345, Eliel 447 the seventh 7637,
12 Johanan 3076 the eighth 8066, Elzabad 443 the ninth 8671,
13 Jeremiah 3414 the tenth 6224, Machbannai 4344 the eleventh.
14 These 428 of the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 were captains 7218 of the army 6635; he who was least 6996 was equal to a hundred 3967 and the greatest 1419 to a thousand 505.
15 These 428 are the ones 1992 who 834 crossed 5674 the Jordan 3383 in the first 7223 month 2320 when it was overflowing all 3605 its banks 1415 and they put 1272 to flight 1272 all 3605 those in the valleys 6010, both to the east 4217 and to the west 4628.
16 ¶ Then some 4480 of the sons 1121 of Benjamin 1144 and Judah 3063 came 935 to the stronghold 4679 to David 1732.
17 David 1732 went 3318 out to meet 6440 them, and said 559 to them, "If 518 you come 935 peacefully 7965 to me to help 5826 me, my heart 3824 shall be united 3162 with you; but if 518 to betray 7411 me to my adversaries 6862, since there is no 3808 wrong 2555 in my hands 3709, may the God 430 of our fathers 1 look 7200 on {it} and decide 3198."
18 Then the Spirit 7307 came 3847 upon Amasai 6022, who was the chief 7218 of the thirty 7970, {and he said,} "{We} are yours, O David 1732, And with you, O son 1121 of Jesse 3448! Peace 7965, peace 7965 to you, And peace 7965 to him who helps 5826 you; Indeed 3588, your God 430 helps 5826 you!" Then David 1732 received 6901 them and made 5414 them captains 7218 of the band 1416.
19 ¶ From Manasseh 4519 also some 4480 defected 5307 to David 1732 when he was about to go 935 to battle 4421 with the Philistines 6430 against 5921 Saul 7586. But they did not help 5826 them, for the lords 5633 of the Philistines 6430 after consultation 6098 sent 7971 him away 7971, saying 559, "At {the cost of} our heads 7218 he may defect 5307 to his master 113 Saul 7586."
20 As he went 1980 to Ziklag 6860 there defected 5307 to him from Manasseh 4519: Adnah 5734, Jozabad 3107, Jediael 3043, Michael 4317, Jozabad 3107, Elihu 453 and Zillethai 6769, captains 7218 of thousands 505 who 834 belonged to Manasseh 4519.
21 They helped 5826 David 1732 against 5921 the band 1416 of raiders 1416, for they were all 3605 mighty 1368 men 1368 of valor 2428, and were captains 8269 in the army 6635.
22 For day 3117 by day 3117 {men} came 935 to David 1732 to help 5826 him, until 5704 there was a great 1419 army 4264 like the army 4264 of God 430.

Supporters Gathered at Hebron

¶ Now these 428 are the numbers 4557 of the divisions 7218 equipped 2502 for war 6635, who came 935 to David 1732 at Hebron 2275, to turn 5437 the kingdom 4438 of Saul 7586 to him, according to the word 6310 of the LORD 3068.
24 The sons 1121 of Judah 3063 who bore 5375 shield 6793 and spear 7420 {were} 6,800, equipped 2502 for war 6635.
25 Of the sons 1121 of Simeon 8095, mighty 1368 men 1368 of valor 2428 for war 6635, 7,100.
26 Of the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 4,600.
27 Now Jehoiada 3077 was the leader 5057 of {the house of} Aaron 175, and with him were 3,700,
28 also Zadok 6659, a young 5288 man 5288 mighty 1368 of valor 2428, and of his father's 1 house 1004 twenty-two captains 8269.
29 Of the sons 1121 of Benjamin 1144, Saul's 7586 kinsmen 251, 3,000; for until 5704 now 2008 the greatest 4768 part 4768 of them had kept 8104 their allegiance 4931 to the house 1004 of Saul 7586.
30 Of the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669 20,800, mighty 1368 men 1368 of valor 2428, famous 8034 men 376 in their fathers' 1 households 1004.
31 Of the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 18,000, who 834 were designated 5344 by name 8034 to come 935 and make 4427 David 1732 king 4427.
32 Of the sons 1121 of Issachar 3485, men who understood 998 the times 6256, with knowledge 3045 of what 4100 Israel 3478 should do 6213, their chiefs 7218 {were} two hundred 3967; and all 3605 their kinsmen 251 {were} at their command 6310.
33 Of Zebulun 2074, there were 50,000 who went 3318 out in the army 6635, who could draw 6186 up in battle 4421 formation 6186 with all 3605 kinds of weapons 3627 of war 4421 and helped 5737 {David} with an undivided heart 3820.
34 Of Naphtali 5321 {there were} 1,000 505 captains 8269, and with them 37,000 with shield 6793 and spear 2595.
35 Of the Danites 1839 who could draw 6186 up in battle 4421 formation 6186, {there were} 28,600.
36 Of Asher 836 {there were} 40,000 who went 3318 out in the army 6635 to draw 6186 up in battle 4421 formation 6186.
37 From the other 5676 side 5676 of the Jordan 3383, of the Reubenites 7206 and the Gadites 1425 and of the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519, {there were} 120,000 with all 3605 {kinds} of weapons 3627 of war 6635 for the battle 4421.
38 ¶ All 3605 these 428, being men 376 of war 4421 who could draw 6186 up in battle 4634 formation 4634, came 935 to Hebron 2275 with a perfect 8003 heart 3824 to make 4427 David 1732 king 4427 over 5921 all 3605 Israel 3478; and all 3605 the rest 7611 also 1571 of Israel 3478 were of one 259 mind 3820 to make 4427 David 1732 king 4427.
39 They were there 8033 with David 1732 three 7969 days 3117, eating 398 and drinking 8354, for their kinsmen 251 had prepared 3559 for them.
40 Moreover those who were near 7138 to them, {even} as far 5704 as Issachar 3485 and Zebulun 2074 and Naphtali 5321, brought 935 food 3899 on donkeys 2543, camels 1581, mules 6505 and on oxen 1241, great 7230 quantities 7230 of flour 7058 cakes 7058, fig 1690 cakes 1690 and bunches 6778 of raisins 6778, wine 3196, oil 8081, oxen 1241 and sheep 6629. There was joy 8057 indeed 3588 in Israel 3478.

Peril in Transporting the Ark

Then David 1732 consulted 3289 with the captains 8269 of the thousands 505 and the hundreds 3967, even with every 3605 leader 5057.
2 David 1732 said 559 to all 3605 the assembly 6951 of Israel 3478, "If 518 it seems good 2895 to you, and if it is from the LORD 3068 our God 430, let us send 7971 everywhere 6555 to our kinsmen 251 who remain 7604 in all 3605 the land 776 of Israel 3478, also to the priests 3548 and Levites 3881 who are with them in their cities 5892 with pasture 4054 lands 4054, that they may meet 6908 with us;
3 and let us bring 5437 back 5437 the ark 727 of our God 430 to us, for we did not seek 1875 it in the days 3117 of Saul 7586."
4 Then all 3605 the assembly 6951 said 559 that they would do 6213 so 3651, for the thing 1697 was right 3474 in the eyes 5869 of all 3605 the people 5971.
5 ¶ So David 1732 assembled 6950 all 3605 Israel 3478 together, from the Shihor 7883 of Egypt 4714 even to the entrance 935 of Hamath 2574, to bring 935 the ark 727 of God 430 from Kiriath-jearim 7157.
6 David 1732 and all 3605 Israel 3478 went 5927 up to Baalah 1173, {that is,} to Kiriath-jearim 7157, which 834 belongs to Judah 3063, to bring 5927 up from there 8033 the ark 727 of God 430, the LORD 3068 who is enthroned 3427 {above} the cherubim 3742, where 834 His name 8034 is called 7121.
7 They carried 7392 the ark 727 of God 430 on a new 2319 cart 5699 from the house 1004 of Abinadab 41, and Uzza 5798 and Ahio 283 drove 5090 the cart 5699.
8 David 1732 and all 3605 Israel 3478 were celebrating 7832 before 6440 God 430 with all 3605 {their} might 5797, even with songs 7892 and with lyres 3658, harps 5035, tambourines 8596, cymbals 4700 and with trumpets 2689.
9 ¶ When they came 935 to the threshing 1637 floor 1637 of Chidon 3592, Uzza 5798 put 7971 out his hand 3027 to hold 270 the ark 727, because 3588 the oxen 1241 nearly upset 8058 {it.}
10 The anger 639 of the LORD 3068 burned 2734 against Uzza 5798, so He struck 5221 him down 5221 because he put 7971 out his hand 3027 to the ark 727; and he died 4191 there 8033 before 6440 God 430.
11 Then David 1732 became 2734 angry 2734 because 3588 of the LORD'S 3068 outburst against Uzza 5798; and he called 7121 that place 4725 Perez-uzza 6560 to this 2088 day 3117.
12 David 1732 was afraid 3372 of God 430 that day 3117, saying 559, "How 1963 can I bring 935 the ark 727 of God 430 {home} to me?"
13 So David 1732 did not take 5493 the ark 727 with him to the city 5892 of David 1732, but took 5186 it aside 5186 to the house 1004 of Obed-edom 5654 the Gittite 1663.
14 Thus the ark 727 of God 430 remained 3427 with the family 1004 of Obed-edom 5654 in his house 1004 three 7969 months 2320; and the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 the family 1004 of Obed-edom 5654 with all 3605 that he had.

David's Family Enlarged

Now Hiram 2438 king 4428 of Tyre 6865 sent 7971 messengers 4397 to David 1732 with cedar 730 trees 6086, masons and carpenters, to build 1129 a house 1004 for him.
2 And David 1732 realized 3045 that the LORD 3068 had established 3559 him as king 4428 over 5921 Israel 3478, {and} that his kingdom 4438 was highly 4605 exalted 5375, for the sake 5668 of His people 5971 Israel 3478.
3 ¶ Then David 1732 took 3947 more 5750 wives 802 at Jerusalem 3389, and David 1732 became 3205 the father 3205 of more 5750 sons 1121 and daughters 1323.
4 These 428 are the names 8034 of the children 3205 born 3205 {to him} in Jerusalem 3389: Shammua 8051, Shobab 7727, Nathan 5416, Solomon 8010,
5 Ibhar 2984, Elishua 474, Elpelet 467,
6 Nogah 5052, Nepheg 5298, Japhia 3309,
7 Elishama 476, Beeliada 1182 and Eliphelet 467.

Philistines Defeated

¶ When the Philistines 6430 heard 8085 that David 1732 had been anointed 4886 king 4428 over 5921 all 3605 Israel 3478, all 3605 the Philistines 6430 went 5927 up in search 1245 of David 1732; and David 1732 heard 8085 of it and went 3318 out against 6440 them.
9 Now the Philistines 6430 had come 935 and made 6584 a raid 6584 in the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497.
10 David 1732 inquired 7592 of God 430, saying 559, "Shall I go 5927 up against 5921 the Philistines 6430? And will You give 5414 them into my hand 3027?" Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "Go 5927 up, for I will give 5414 them into your hand 3027."
11 So they came 5927 up to Baal-perazim 1188, and David 1732 defeated 5221 them there 8033; and David 1732 said 559, "God 430 has broken 6555 through 6555 my enemies 340 by my hand 3027, like the breakthrough 6556 of waters 4325." Therefore they named that place 4725 Baal-perazim 1188.
12 They abandoned 5800 their gods 430 there 8033; so David 1732 gave 559 the order 559 and they were burned 8313 with fire 784.
13 ¶ The Philistines 6430 made 6584 yet 5750 another 3254 raid 6584 in the valley 6010.
14 David 1732 inquired 7592 again 5750 of God 430, and God 430 said 559 to him, "You shall not go 5927 up after 310 them; circle 5437 around 5437 behind them and come 935 at them in front 4136 of the balsam 1057 trees 1057.
15 "It shall be when you hear 8085 the sound 6963 of marching 6807 in the tops 7218 of the balsam 1057 trees 1057, then 227 you shall go 3318 out to battle 4421, for God 430 will have gone 3318 out before 6440 you to strike 5221 the army 4264 of the Philistines 6430."
16 David 1732 did 6213 just 3512 as God 430 had commanded 6680 him, and they struck 5221 down 5221 the army 4264 of the Philistines 6430 from Gibeon 1391 even as far 5704 as Gezer 1507.
17 Then the fame 8034 of David 1732 went 3318 out into all 3605 the lands 776; and the LORD 3068 brought 5414 the fear 6343 of him on all 3605 the nations 1471.

Plans to Move the Ark to Jerusalem

Now {David} built 6213 houses 1004 for himself in the city 5892 of David 1732; and he prepared 3559 a place 4725 for the ark 727 of God 430 and pitched 5186 a tent 168 for it.
2 Then 227 David 1732 said 559, "No 3808 one is to carry 5375 the ark 727 of God 430 but the Levites 3881; for the LORD 3068 chose 977 them to carry 5375 the ark 727 of God 430 and to minister 8334 to Him forever."
3 And David 1732 assembled 6950 all 3605 Israel 3478 at Jerusalem 3389 to bring 5927 up the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 to its place 4725 which 834 he had prepared 3559 for it.
4 David 1732 gathered 622 together the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 and the Levites 3881:
5 of the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955, Uriel 222 the chief 8269, and 120 of his relatives 251;
6 of the sons 1121 of Merari 4847, Asaiah 6222 the chief 8269, and 220 of his relatives 251;
7 of the sons 1121 of Gershom 1647, Joel 3100 the chief 8269, and 130 of his relatives 251;
8 of the sons 1121 of Elizaphan 469, Shemaiah 8098 the chief 8269, and 200 3967 of his relatives 251;
9 of the sons 1121 of Hebron 2275, Eliel 447 the chief 8269, and 80 8084 of his relatives 251;
10 of the sons 1121 of Uzziel 5816, Amminadab 5992 the chief 8269, and 112 of his relatives 251.
11 ¶ Then David 1732 called 7121 for Zadok 6659 and Abiathar 54 the priests 3548, and for the Levites 3881, for Uriel 222, Asaiah 6222, Joel 3100, Shemaiah 8098, Eliel 447 and Amminadab 5992,
12 and said 559 to them, "You are the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the Levites 3881; consecrate 6942 yourselves both you and your relatives 251, that you may bring 5927 up the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 to {the place} that I have prepared 3559 for it.
13 "Because 3588 you did not {carry it} at the first 7223, the LORD 3068 our God 430 made 6555 an outburst 6555 on us, for we did not seek 1875 Him according to the ordinance 4941."
14 So the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881 consecrated 6942 themselves to bring 5927 up the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478.
15 The sons 1121 of the Levites 3881 carried 5375 the ark 727 of God 430 on their shoulders 3802 with the poles 4133 thereon 5921, as Moses 4872 had commanded 6680 according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068.
16 ¶ Then David 1732 spoke 559 to the chiefs 8269 of the Levites 3881 to appoint 5975 their relatives 251 the singers 7891, with instruments 3627 of music 7892, harps 5035, lyres 3658, loud-sounding 8085 cymbals 4700, to raise 7311 sounds 6963 of joy 8057.
17 So the Levites 3881 appointed 5975 Heman 1968 the son 1121 of Joel 3100, and from his relatives 251, Asaph 623 the son 1121 of Berechiah 1296; and from the sons 1121 of Merari 4847 their relatives 251, Ethan 387 the son 1121 of Kushaiah 6984,
18 and with them their relatives 251 of the second 4932 rank 4932, Zechariah 2148, Ben 1122, Jaaziel 3268, Shemiramoth 8070, Jehiel 3171, Unni 6042, Eliab 446, Benaiah 1141, Maaseiah 4641, Mattithiah 4993, Eliphelehu 466, Mikneiah 4737, Obed-edom 5654 and Jeiel 3262, the gatekeepers 7778.
19 So the singers 7891, Heman 1968, Asaph 623 and Ethan 387 {were appointed} to sound 8085 aloud cymbals 4700 of bronze 5178;
20 and Zechariah 2148, Aziel 5815, Shemiramoth 8070, Jehiel 3171, Unni 6042, Eliab 446, Maaseiah 4641 and Benaiah 1141, with harps 5035 {tuned} to alamoth 5961;
21 and Mattithiah 4993, Eliphelehu 466, Mikneiah 4737, Obed-edom 5654, Jeiel 3262 and Azaziah 5812, to lead 5329 with lyres 3658 tuned to the sheminith 8066.
22 Chenaniah 3663, chief 8269 of the Levites 3881, was {in charge of} the singing 4853; he gave 3256 instruction 3256 in singing 4853 because 3588 he was skillful 995.
23 Berechiah 1296 and Elkanah 511 were gatekeepers 7778 for the ark 727.
24 Shebaniah 7645, Joshaphat 3092, Nethanel 5417, Amasai 6022, Zechariah 2148, Benaiah 1141 and Eliezer 461, the priests 3548, blew 2690 the trumpets 2689 before 6440 the ark 727 of God 430. Obed-edom 5654 and Jehiah 3174 also {were} gatekeepers 7778 for the ark 727.
25 ¶ So {it was} David 1732, with the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 and the captains 8269 over thousands 505, who went 1980 to bring 5927 up the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 from the house 1004 of Obed-edom 5654 with joy 8057.
26 Because God 430 was helping 5826 the Levites 3881 who were carrying 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, they sacrificed 2076 seven 7651 bulls 6499 and seven 7651 rams 352.
27 Now David 1732 was clothed 3736 with a robe 4598 of fine 948 linen 948 with all 3605 the Levites 3881 who were carrying 5375 the ark 727, and the singers 7891 and Chenaniah 3663 the leader 8269 of the singing 4853 {with} the singers 7891. David 1732 also wore 5921 an ephod 646 of linen 906.
28 Thus all 3605 Israel 3478 brought 5927 up the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 with shouting 8643, and with sound 6963 of the horn 7782, with trumpets 2689, with loud-sounding 8085 cymbals 4700, with harps 5035 and lyres 3658.
29 ¶ It happened 1961 when the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 came 935 to the city 5892 of David 1732, that Michal 4324 the daughter 1323 of Saul 7586 looked 8259 out of the window 2474 and saw 7200 King 4428 David 1732 leaping 7540 and celebrating 7832; and she despised 959 him in her heart 3820.

Chapter 16

A Tent for the Ark

And they brought 935 in the ark 727 of God 430 and placed 3322 it inside 8432 the tent 168 which 834 David 1732 had pitched 5186 for it, and they offered 7126 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 and peace 8002 offerings 8002 before 6440 God 430.
2 When David 1732 had finished 3615 offering 5927 the burnt 5930 offering 5930 and the peace 8002 offerings 8002, he blessed 1288 the people 5971 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.
3 He distributed 2505 to everyone 3605 of Israel 3478, both 4480 man 376 and woman 802, to everyone 376 a loaf 3603 of bread 3899 and a portion 829 {of meat} and a raisin 809 cake 809.
4 ¶ He appointed 5414 some 4480 of the Levites 3881 {as} ministers 8334 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068, even to celebrate 2142 and to thank 3034 and praise 1984 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478:
5 Asaph 623 the chief 7218, and second 4932 to him Zechariah 2148, {then} Jeiel 3262, Shemiramoth 8070, Jehiel 3171, Mattithiah 4993, Eliab 446, Benaiah 1141, Obed-edom 5654 and Jeiel 3262, with musical instruments 3627, harps 5035, lyres 3658; also Asaph 623 {played} loud-sounding 8085 cymbals 4700,
6 and Benaiah 1141 and Jahaziel 3166 the priests 3548 {blew} trumpets 2689 continually 8548 before 6440 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of God 430.
7 ¶ Then 227 on that day 3117 David 1732 first 7218 assigned 5414 Asaph 623 and his relatives 251 to give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068.

Psalm of Thanksgiving

Oh give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, call 7121 upon His name 8034; Make 3045 known 3045 His deeds 5949 among the peoples 5971.
9 Sing 7891 to Him, sing 2167 praises 2167 to Him; Speak 7878 of all 3605 His wonders 6381.
10 Glory 1984 in His holy 6944 name 8034; Let the heart 3820 of those who seek 1245 the LORD 3068 be glad 8055.
11 Seek 1875 the LORD 3068 and His strength 5797; Seek 1245 His face 6440 continually 8548.
12 Remember 2142 His wonderful 6381 deeds 6381 which 834 He has done 6213, His marvels 4159 and the judgments 4941 from His mouth 6310,
13 O seed 2233 of Israel 3478 His servant 5650, Sons 1121 of Jacob 3290, His chosen 972 ones 972!
14 He is the LORD 3068 our God 430; His judgments 4941 are in all 3605 the earth 776.
15 Remember 2142 His covenant 1285 forever 5769, The word 1697 which He commanded 6680 to a thousand 505 generations 1755,
16 {The covenant} which 834 He made 3772 with Abraham 85, And His oath 7621 to Isaac 3327.
17 He also confirmed 5975 it to Jacob 3290 for a statute 2706, To Israel 3478 as an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285,
18 Saying 559, "To you I will give 5414 the land 776 of Canaan 3667, As the portion 2256 of your inheritance 5159."
19 When they were only a few 4962 in number 4557, Very few 4592, and strangers 1481 in it,
20 And they wandered 1980 about from nation 1471 to nation 1471, And from {one} kingdom 4467 to another 312 people 5971,
21 He permitted 5117 no 3808 man 376 to oppress 6231 them, And He reproved 3198 kings 4428 for their sakes 5921, {saying,}
22 "Do not touch 5060 My anointed 4899 ones 4899, And do 7489 My prophets 5030 no 408 harm 7489."
23 Sing 7891 to the LORD 3068, all 3605 the earth 776; Proclaim 1319 good tidings 1319 of His salvation 3444 from day 3117 to day 3117.
24 Tell 5608 of His glory 3519 among the nations 1471, His wonderful 6381 deeds 6381 among all 3605 the peoples 5971.
25 For great 1419 is the LORD 3068, and greatly 3966 to be praised 1984; He also is to be feared 3372 above 5921 all 3605 gods 430.
26 For all 3605 the gods 430 of the peoples 5971 are idols 457, But the LORD 3068 made 6213 the heavens 8064.
27 Splendor 1935 and majesty 1926 are before 6440 Him, Strength 5797 and joy 2304 are in His place 4725.
28 Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068, O families 4940 of the peoples 5971, Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068 glory 3519 and strength 5797.
29 Ascribe 3051 to the LORD 3068 the glory 3519 due His name 8034; Bring 5375 an offering 4503, and come 935 before 6440 Him; Worship 7812 the LORD 3068 in holy 6944 array 1927.
30 Tremble 2342 before Him, all 3605 the earth 776; Indeed 637, the world 8398 is firmly 3559 established 3559, it will not be moved 4131.
31 Let the heavens 8064 be glad 8055, and let the earth 776 rejoice 1523; And let them say 559 among the nations 1471, "The LORD 3068 reigns 4427."
32 Let the sea 3220 roar 7481, and all 4393 it contains 4393; Let the field 7704 exult 5970, and all 3605 that is in it.
33 Then 227 the trees 6086 of the forest 3293 will sing 7442 for joy 7442 before the LORD 3068; For He is coming 935 to judge 8199 the earth 776.
34 O give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, for {He is} good 2896; For His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769.
35 Then say 559, "Save 3467 us, O God 430 of our salvation 3468, And gather 6908 us and deliver 5337 us from the nations 1471, To give 3034 thanks 3034 to Your holy 6944 name 8034, And glory 7623 in Your praise 8416."
36 Blessed 1288 be the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, From everlasting 5769 even to everlasting 5769. Then all 3605 the people 5971 said 559, "Amen 543," and praised 1984 the LORD 3068.
37

Worship before the Ark

¶ So he left 5800 Asaph 623 and his relatives 251 there 8033 before 6440 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 to minister 8334 before 6440 the ark 727 continually 8548, as every day's 3117 work 1697 required 1697;
38 and Obed-edom 5654 with his 68 relatives 251; Obed-edom 5654, also the son 1121 of Jeduthun 3038, and Hosah 2621 as gatekeepers 7778.
39 {He left} Zadok 6659 the priest 3548 and his relatives 251 the priests 3548 before 6440 the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068 in the high 1116 place 1116 which 834 {was} at Gibeon 1391,
40 to offer 5927 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 to the LORD 3068 on the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 continually 8548 morning 1242 and evening 6153, even according to all 3605 that is written 3789 in the law 8451 of the LORD 3068, which 834 He commanded 6680 Israel 3478.
41 With them {were} Heman 1968 and Jeduthun 3038, and the rest 7605 who were chosen 1305, who 834 were designated 5344 by name 8034, to give 3034 thanks 3034 to the LORD 3068, because 3588 His lovingkindness 2617 is everlasting 5769.
42 And with them {were} Heman 1968 and Jeduthun 3038 {with} trumpets 2689 and cymbals 4700 for those who should sound 8085 aloud, and {with} instruments 3627 {for} the songs 7892 of God 430, and the sons 1121 of Jeduthun 3038 for the gate 8179.
43 ¶ Then all 3605 the people 5971 departed 1980 each 376 to his house 1004, and David 1732 returned 5437 to bless 1288 his household 1004.

God's Covenant with David

And it came 1961 about, when 3512 David 1732 dwelt 3427 in his house 1004, that David 1732 said 559 to Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030, "Behold 2009, I am dwelling 3427 in a house 1004 of cedar 730, but the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 is under 8478 curtains 3407."
2 Then Nathan 5416 said 559 to David 1732, "Do 6213 all 3605 that is in your heart 3824, for God 430 is with you."
3 ¶ It came 1961 about the same 1931 night 3915 that the word 1697 of God 430 came 1961 to Nathan 5416, saying 559,
4 "Go 1980 and tell 559 David 1732 My servant 5650, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "You shall not build 1129 a house 1004 for Me to dwell 3427 in;
5 for I have not dwelt 3427 in a house 1004 since 4480 the day 3117 that I brought 5927 up Israel 3478 to this 2088 day 3117, but I have gone 1961 from tent 168 to tent 168 and from {one} dwelling 4908 place 4908 {to another.}
6 "In all 3605 places where 834 I have walked 1980 with all 3605 Israel 3478, have I spoken 1696 a word 1697 with any 259 of the judges 8199 of Israel 3478, whom 834 I commanded 6680 to shepherd 7462 My people 5971, saying 559, 'Why 4100 have you not built 1129 for Me a house 1004 of cedar 730?'"'
7 "Now 6258, therefore, thus 3541 shall you say 559 to My servant 5650 David 1732, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, "I took 3947 you from the pasture 5116, from following 310 the sheep 6629, to be leader 5057 over 5921 My people 5971 Israel 3478.
8 "I have been 1961 with you wherever you have gone 1980, and have cut 3772 off 3772 all 3605 your enemies 340 from before 6440 you; and I will make 6213 you a name 8034 like the name 8034 of the great 1419 ones 1419 who 834 are in the earth 776.
9 "I will appoint 7760 a place 4725 for My people 5971 Israel 3478, and will plant 5193 them, so that they may dwell 7931 in their own place 8478 and not be moved 7264 again 5750; and the wicked will not waste 1086 them anymore 3254 as formerly 7223,
10 even from the day 3117 that I commanded 6680 judges 8199 {to be} over 5921 My people 5971 Israel 3478. And I will subdue 3665 all 3605 your enemies 340.
11 ¶ "When 3588 your days 3117 are fulfilled 4390 that you must go 1980 {to be} with your fathers 1, that I will set 6965 up {one of} your descendants 2233 after 310 you, who 834 will be of your sons 1121; and I will establish 3559 his kingdom 4438.
12 "He shall build 1129 for Me a house 1004, and I will establish 3559 his throne 3678 forever.
13 "I will be his father 1 and he shall be My son 1121; and I will not take 5493 My lovingkindness 2617 away 5493 from him, as I took 5493 it from him who 834 was before 6440 you.
14 "But I will settle 3427 him in My house 1004 and in My kingdom 4438 forever, and his throne 3678 shall be established 3559 forever."'"
15 According to all 3605 these 428 words 1697 and according to all 3605 this 2088 vision 2377, so 3651 Nathan 5416 spoke 1696 to David 1732.

David's Prayer in Response

¶ Then David 1732 the king 4428 went 935 in and sat 3427 before 6440 the LORD 3068 and said 559, "Who 4310 am I, O LORD 3068 God 430, and what 4310 is my house 1004 that You have brought 935 me this 1988 far 1988?
17 "This 2088 was a small 6994 thing 6994 in Your eyes 5869, O God 430; but You have spoken 1696 of Your servant's 5650 house 1004 for a great 7350 while 7350 to come 7350, and have regarded 7200 me according to the standard 8447 of a man 120 of high 4609 degree 4609, O LORD 3068 God 430.
18 "What 4100 more 3254 can David 1732 still 5750 {say} to You concerning the honor 3519 {bestowed} on Your servant 5650? For You know 3045 Your servant 5650.
19 "O LORD 3068, for Your servant's 5650 sake 5668, and according to Your own heart 3820, You have wrought 6213 all 3605 this 2088 greatness 1420, to make 3045 known 3045 all 3605 these great 1420 things 1420.
20 "O LORD 3068, there 369 is none 369 like 3644 You, nor 369 is there 369 any God 430 besides 2108 You, according to all 3605 that we have heard 8085 with our ears 241.
21 "And what 4310 one 259 nation 1471 in the earth 776 is like Your people 5971 Israel 3478, whom 834 God 430 went 1980 to redeem 6299 for Himself {as} a people 5971, to make 7760 You a name 8034 by great 1420 and terrible 3372 things 3372, in driving 1644 out nations 1471 from before 6440 Your people 5971, whom 834 You redeemed 6299 out of Egypt 4714?
22 "For Your people 5971 Israel 3478 You made 5414 Your own people 5971 forever, and You, O LORD 3068, became 1961 their God 430.
23 ¶ "Now 6258, O LORD 3068, let the word 1697 that You have spoken 1696 concerning 5921 Your servant 5650 and concerning 5921 his house 1004 be established 539 forever, and do 6213 as You have spoken 1696.
24 "Let Your name 8034 be established 539 and magnified 1431 forever, saying 559, 'The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 is the God 430 of Israel 3478, {even} a God 430 to Israel 3478; and the house 1004 of David 1732 Your servant 5650 is established 3559 before 6440 You.'
25 "For You, O my God 430, have revealed to Your servant 5650 that You will build 1129 for him a house 1004; therefore Your servant 5650 has found 4672 {courage} to pray 6419 before 6440 You.
26 "Now 6258, O LORD 3068, You are God 430, and have promised 1696 this 2088 good 2899 thing 2899 to Your servant 5650.
27 "And now 6258 it has pleased 2974 You to bless 1288 the house 1004 of Your servant 5650, that it may continue 1961 forever 5769 before 6440 You; for You, O LORD 3068, have blessed 1288, and it is blessed 1288 forever 5769."

David's Kingdom Strengthened

Now after 310 this 3651 it came 1961 about that David 1732 defeated 5221 the Philistines 6430 and subdued 3665 them and took 3947 Gath 1661 and its towns 1323 from the hand 3027 of the Philistines 6430.
2 He defeated 5221 Moab 4124, and the Moabites 4124 became 1961 servants 5650 to David 1732, bringing 5375 tribute 4503.
3 ¶ David 1732 also defeated 5221 Hadadezer 1909 king 4428 of Zobah 6678 {as far as} Hamath 2574, as he went 1980 to establish 5324 his rule 3027 to the Euphrates 6578 River 5104.
4 David 1732 took 3920 from him 1,000 505 chariots 7393 and 7,000 horsemen 6571 and 20,000 foot 7273 soldiers, and David 1732 hamstrung 6136 all 3605 the chariot 7393 horses 7393, but reserved 3498 {enough} of them for 100 3967 chariots 7393.
5 ¶ When the Arameans 758 of Damascus 1834 came 935 to help 5826 Hadadezer 1909 king 4428 of Zobah 6678, David 1732 killed 5221 22,000 men 376 of the Arameans 758.
6 Then David 1732 put 7760 {garrisons} among the Arameans 758 of Damascus 1834; and the Arameans 758 became 1961 servants 5650 to David 1732, bringing 5375 tribute 4503. And the LORD 3068 helped 3467 David 1732 wherever he went 1980.
7 David 1732 took 3947 the shields 7982 of gold 2091 which 834 were carried 5921 by the servants 5650 of Hadadezer 1909 and brought 935 them to Jerusalem 3389.
8 Also from Tibhath 2880 and from Cun 3560, cities 5892 of Hadadezer 1909, David 1732 took 3947 a very 3966 large 7227 amount of bronze 5178, with which Solomon 8010 made 6213 the bronze 5178 sea 3220 and the pillars 5982 and the bronze 5178 utensils 3627.
9 ¶ Now when Tou 8583 king 4428 of Hamath 2574 heard 8085 that David 1732 had defeated 5221 all 3605 the army 2428 of Hadadezer 1909 king 4428 of Zobah 6678,
10 he sent 7971 Hadoram 1913 his son 1121 to King 4428 David 1732 to greet him and to bless 1288 him, because he had fought 3898 against Hadadezer 1909 and had defeated 5221 him; for Hadadezer 1909 had 1961 been 1961 at war 4421 with Tou 8583. And {Hadoram brought} all 3605 kinds of articles 3627 of gold 2091 and silver 3701 and bronze 5178.
11 King 4428 David 1732 also 1571 dedicated 6942 these to the LORD 3068 with the silver 3701 and the gold 2091 which 834 he had carried 5375 away from all 3605 the nations 1471: from Edom 112, Moab 4124, the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, the Philistines 6430, and from Amalek 6002.
12 ¶ Moreover Abishai 52 the son 1121 of Zeruiah 6870 defeated 5221 18,000 Edomites 112 in the Valley 1516 of Salt 4417.
13 Then he put 7760 garrisons 5333 in Edom 112, and all 3605 the Edomites 112 became 1961 servants 5650 to David 1732. And the LORD 3068 helped 3467 David 1732 wherever he went 1980.
14 ¶ So David 1732 reigned 4427 over 5921 all 3605 Israel 3478; and he administered justice 4941 and righteousness 6666 for all 3605 his people 5971.
15 Joab 3097 the son 1121 of Zeruiah 6870 {was} over 5921 the army 6635, and Jehoshaphat 3092 the son 1121 of Ahilud 286 {was} recorder 2142;
16 and Zadok 6659 the son 1121 of Ahitub 285 and Abimelech 40 the son 1121 of Abiathar 54 {were} priests 3548, and Shavsha 7798 {was} secretary 5613;
17 and Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077 {was} over 5921 the Cherethites 3774 and the Pelethites 6432, and the sons 1121 of David 1732 {were} chiefs 7223 at the king's 4428 side 3027.

Chapter 19

David's Messengers Abused

Now it came 1961 about after 310 this 3651, that Nahash 5176 the king 4428 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 died 4191, and his son 1121 became 4427 king 4427 in his place 8478.
2 Then David 1732 said 559, "I will show 6213 kindness 2617 to Hanun 2586 the son 1121 of Nahash 5176, because 3588 his father 1 showed 6213 kindness 2617 to me." So David 1732 sent 7971 messengers 4397 to console 5162 him concerning 5921 his father 1. And David's 1732 servants 5650 came 935 into the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 to Hanun 2586 to console 5162 him.
3 But the princes 8269 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 said 559 to Hanun 2586, "Do you think 5869 that David 1732 is honoring 3513 your father 1, in that he has sent 7971 comforters 5162 to you? Have not his servants 5650 come 935 to you to search 2713 and to overthrow 2015 and to spy 7270 out the land 776?"
4 So Hanun 2586 took 3947 David's 1732 servants 5650 and shaved 1548 them and cut 3772 off 3772 their garments 4063 in the middle 2677 as far 5704 as their hips 4667, and sent 7971 them away 7971.
5 Then {certain persons} went 1980 and told 5046 David 1732 about 5921 the men 376. And he sent 7971 to meet 7122 them, for the men 376 were greatly 3966 humiliated 3637. And the king 4428 said 559, "Stay 3427 at Jericho 3405 until your beards 2206 grow 6779, and {then} return 7725."
6 ¶ When the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 saw 7200 that they had made 887 themselves odious 887 to David 1732, Hanun 2586 and the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 sent 7971 1,000 505 talents 3603 of silver 3701 to hire 7936 for themselves chariots 7393 and horsemen 6571 from Mesopotamia 763, from Aram-maacah and from Zobah 6678.
7 So they hired 7936 for themselves 32,000 chariots 7393, and the king 4428 of Maacah 4601 and his people 5971, who came 935 and camped 2583 before 6440 Medeba 4311. And the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 gathered 622 together from their cities 5892 and came 935 to battle 4421.
8 When David 1732 heard 8085 {of it,} he sent 7971 Joab 3097 and all 3605 the army 6635, the mighty 1368 men 1368.
9 The sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 came 3318 out and drew 6186 up in battle 4421 array at the entrance 6607 of the city 5892, and the kings 4428 who 834 had come 935 were by themselves 905 in the field 7704.
10

Ammon and Aram Defeated

¶ Now when Joab 3097 saw 7200 that the battle 4421 was set against 413 him in front 6440 and in the rear 268, he selected 977 from all 3605 the choice 970 men of Israel 3478 and they arrayed 6186 themselves against 7122 the Arameans 758.
11 But the remainder 3499 of the people 5971 he placed 5414 in the hand 3027 of Abshai 52 his brother 251; and they arrayed 6186 themselves against 7122 the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983.
12 He said 559, "If 518 the Arameans 758 are too 4480 strong 2388 for me, then you shall help me; but if 518 the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 are too 4480 strong 2388 for you, then I will help 3467 you.
13 "Be strong 2388, and let us show 2388 ourselves courageous 2388 for the sake 1157 of our people 5971 and for the cities 5892 of our God 430; and may the LORD 3068 do 6213 what 2896 is good 2896 in His sight 5869."
14 So Joab 3097 and the people 5971 who 834 were with him drew 5066 near 5066 to the battle 4421 against 6440 the Arameans 758, and they fled 5127 before him.
15 When the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 saw 7200 that the Arameans 758 fled 5127, they also 1571 fled 5127 before Abshai 52 his brother 251 and entered 935 the city 5892. Then Joab 3097 came 935 to Jerusalem 3389.
16 ¶ When the Arameans 758 saw 7200 that they had been defeated 5062 by Israel 3478, they sent 7971 messengers 4397 and brought 3318 out the Arameans 758 who 834 were beyond the River 5104, with Shophach 7780 the commander 8269 of the army 6635 of Hadadezer 1909 leading 6440 them.
17 When it was told 5046 David 1732, he gathered 622 all 3605 Israel 3478 together and crossed 5674 the Jordan 3383, and came 935 upon them and drew 6186 up in formation 6186 against 413 them. And when David 1732 drew 6186 up in battle 4421 array against 7122 the Arameans 758, they fought 3898 against 5973 him.
18 The Arameans 758 fled 5127 before Israel 3478, and David 1732 killed 2026 of the Arameans 758 7,000 charioteers 7393 and 40,000 foot 7273 soldiers, and put 4191 to death 4191 Shophach 7780 the commander 8269 of the army 6635.
19 So when the servants 5650 of Hadadezer 1909 saw 7200 that they were defeated 5062 by Israel 3478, they made 7999 peace 7999 with David 1732 and served 5647 him. Thus the Arameans 758 were not willing 14 to help 3467 the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983 anymore 5750.

War with Philistine Giants

Then it happened 1961 in the spring 8666, at the time 6256 when kings 4428 go 3318 out {to battle,} that Joab 3097 led 5090 out the army and ravaged 7843 the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, and came 935 and besieged 6696 Rabbah 7237. But David 1732 stayed 3427 at Jerusalem 3389. And Joab 3097 struck 5221 Rabbah 7237 and overthrew 2040 it.
2 David 1732 took 3947 the crown 5850 of their king 4428 from his head 7218, and he found 4672 it to weigh 4948 a talent 3603 of gold 2091, and there was a precious 3368 stone 68 in it; and it was placed 1961 on David's 1732 head 7218. And he brought 3318 out the spoil 7998 of the city 5892, a very 3966 great 7235 amount.
3 He brought 3318 out the people 5971 who 834 {were} in it, and cut 7787 {them} with saws 4050 and with sharp 2757 instruments 2757 and with axes 4050. And thus 3651 David 1732 did 6213 to all 3605 the cities 5892 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983. Then David 1732 and all 3605 the people 5971 returned 7725 {to} Jerusalem 3389.
4 ¶ Now it came 1961 about after 310 this 3651, that war 4421 broke 5975 out at Gezer 1507 with the Philistines 6430; then 227 Sibbecai 5444 the Hushathite 2843 killed 5221 Sippai 5598, one of the descendants 3211 of the giants 7498, and they were subdued 3665.
5 And there was war 4421 with the Philistines 6430 again 5750, and Elhanan 445 the son 1121 of Jair 3265 killed 5221 Lahmi 3902 the brother 251 of Goliath 1555 the Gittite 1663, the shaft 6086 of whose spear 2595 {was} like a weaver's 707 beam 4500.
6 Again 5750 there was war 4421 at Gath 1661, where there was a man 376 of {great} stature 4060 who had twenty-four fingers 676 and toes 676, six 8337 {fingers on each hand} and six 8337 {toes on each foot;} and he also 1571 was descended 3205 from the giants 7498.
7 When he taunted 2778 Israel 3478, Jonathan 3083 the son 1121 of Shimea 8092, David's 1732 brother 251, killed 5221 him.
8 These 411 were descended 3205 from the giants 7498 in Gath 1661, and they fell 5307 by the hand 3027 of David 1732 and by the hand 3027 of his servants 5650.

Chapter 21

Census Brings Pestilence

Then Satan 7854 stood 5975 up against 5921 Israel 3478 and moved 5496 David 1732 to number 4487 Israel 3478.
2 So David 1732 said 559 to Joab 3097 and to the princes 8269 of the people 5971, "Go 1980, number 5608 Israel 3478 from Beersheba 884 even to Dan 1835, and bring 935 me {word} that I may know 3045 their number 4557."
3 Joab 3097 said 559, "May the LORD 3068 add 3254 to His people 5971 a hundred 3967 times 6471 as many as they are! But, my lord 113 the king 4428, are they not all 3605 my lord's 113 servants 5650? Why 4100 does my lord 113 seek 1245 this 2088 thing 2088? Why 4100 should he be a cause 819 of guilt 819 to Israel 3478?"
4 Nevertheless, the king's 4428 word 1697 prevailed 2388 against 5921 Joab 3097. Therefore, Joab 3097 departed 3318 and went 1980 throughout all 3605 Israel 3478, and came 935 to Jerusalem 3389.
5 Joab 3097 gave 5414 the number 4557 of the census 4662 of {all} the people 5971 to David 1732. And all 3605 Israel 3478 were 1,100,000 men 376 who drew 8025 the sword 2719; and Judah 3063 {was} 470,000 men 376 who drew 8025 the sword 2719.
6 But he did not number 6485 Levi 3878 and Benjamin 1144 among 8432 them, for the king's 4428 command 1697 was abhorrent 8581 to Joab 3097.
7 ¶ God 430 was displeased with this 2088 thing 1697, so He struck 5221 Israel 3478.
8 David 1732 said 559 to God 430, "I have sinned 2398 greatly 3966, in that I have done 6213 this 2088 thing 1697. But now 6258, please 4994 take 5674 away 5674 the iniquity 5771 of Your servant 5650, for I have done 5528 very 3966 foolishly 5528."
9 ¶ The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Gad 1410, David's 1732 seer 2374, saying 559,
10 "Go 1980 and speak 1696 to David 1732, saying 559, 'Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, "I offer 5186 you three 7969 things 7969; choose 977 for yourself one 259 of them, which I will do 6213 to you."'"
11 So Gad 1410 came 935 to David 1732 and said 559 to him, "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, 'Take 6901 for yourself
12 either 518 three 7969 years 8141 of famine 7458, or three 7969 months 2320 to be swept 5595 away 5595 before your foes 6862, while the sword 2719 of your enemies 340 overtakes 5381 {you,} or else three 7969 days 3117 of the sword 2719 of the LORD 3068, even pestilence 1698 in the land 776, and the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 destroying 7843 throughout all 3605 the territory 1366 of Israel 3478.' Now 6258, therefore, consider 7200 what 4100 answer 1697 I shall return 7725 to Him who sent 7971 me."
13 David 1732 said 559 to Gad 1410, "I am in great 3966 distress 6887; please 4994 let me fall 5307 into the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068, for His mercies 7356 are very 3966 great 7227. But do not let me fall 5307 into the hand 3027 of man 120."
14 ¶ So the LORD 3068 sent 5414 a pestilence 1698 on Israel 3478; 70,000 men 376 of Israel 3478 fell 5307.
15 And God 430 sent 7971 an angel 4397 to Jerusalem 3389 to destroy 7843 it; but as he was about to destroy 7843 {it,} the LORD 3068 saw 7200 and was sorry 5162 over 5921 the calamity 7463, and said 559 to the destroying 7843 angel 4397, "It is enough 7227; now 6258 relax 7503 your hand 3027." And the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 was standing 5975 by the threshing 1637 floor 1637 of Ornan 771 the Jebusite 2983.
16 Then David 1732 lifted 5375 up his eyes 5869 and saw 7200 the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 standing 5975 between 996 earth 776 and heaven 8064, with his drawn 8025 sword 2719 in his hand 3027 stretched 5186 out over 5921 Jerusalem 3389. Then David 1732 and the elders 2205, covered 3680 with sackcloth 8242, fell 5307 on their faces 6440.
17 David 1732 said 559 to God 430, "Is it not I who commanded 559 to count 4487 the people 5971? Indeed, I am the one who 834 has sinned 2398 and done 7489 very 7489 wickedly 7489, but these 428 sheep 6629, what 4100 have they done 6213? O LORD 3068 my God 430, please 4994 let Your hand 3027 be against me and my father's 1 household 1004, but not against Your people 5971 that they should be plagued 4046."
18

David's Altar

Then the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 commanded 559 Gad 1410 to say 559 to David 1732, that David 1732 should go 5927 up and build 6965 an altar 4196 to the LORD 3068 on the threshing 1637 floor 1637 of Ornan 771 the Jebusite 2983.
19 So David 1732 went 5927 up at the word 1697 of Gad 1410, which 834 he spoke 1696 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.
20 Now Ornan 771 turned 7725 back 7725 and saw 7200 the angel 4397, and his four 702 sons 1121 {who were} with him hid 2244 themselves. And Ornan 771 was threshing 1758 wheat 2406.
21 As David 1732 came 935 to Ornan 771, Ornan 771 looked 5027 and saw 7200 David 1732, and went 3318 out from the threshing 1637 floor 1637 and prostrated 7812 himself before David 1732 with his face 639 to the ground 776.
22 Then David 1732 said 559 to Ornan 771, "Give 5414 me the site 4725 of {this} threshing 1637 floor 1637, that I may build 1129 on it an altar 4196 to the LORD 3068; for the full 4392 price 3701 you shall give 5414 it to me, that the plague 4046 may be restrained 6113 from the people 5971."
23 Ornan 771 said 559 to David 1732, "Take 3947 {it} for yourself; and let my lord 113 the king 4428 do 6213 what 2896 is good 2896 in his sight 5869. See 7200, I will give 5414 the oxen 1241 for burnt 5930 offerings 5930 and the threshing 4173 sledges 4173 for wood 6086 and the wheat 2406 for the grain offering 4503; I will give 5414 {it} all 3605."
24 But King 4428 David 1732 said 559 to Ornan 771, "No 3808, but I will surely 7069 buy 7069 {it} for the full 4392 price 3701; for I will not take 5375 what 834 is yours for the LORD 3068, or offer 5927 a burnt 5930 offering 5930 which 2600 costs 2600 me nothing 2600."
25 So David 1732 gave 5414 Ornan 771 600 shekels 8255 of gold 2091 by weight 4948 for the site 4725.
26 Then David 1732 built 1129 an altar 4196 to the LORD 3068 there 8033 and offered 5927 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 and peace 8002 offerings 8002. And he called 7121 to the LORD 3068 and He answered 6030 him with fire 784 from heaven 8064 on the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930.
27 The LORD 3068 commanded 559 the angel 4397, and he put 7725 his sword 2719 back 7725 in its sheath 5084.
28 ¶ At that time 6256, when David 1732 saw 7200 that the LORD 3068 had answered 6030 him on the threshing 1637 floor 1637 of Ornan 771 the Jebusite 2983, he offered 2076 sacrifice 2076 there 8033.
29 For the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068, which 834 Moses 4872 had made 6213 in the wilderness 4057, and the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 {were} in the high 1116 place 1116 at Gibeon 1391 at that time 6256.
30 But David 1732 could 3201 not go 1980 before 6440 it to inquire 1875 of God 430, for he was terrified 1204 by the sword 2719 of the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068.

Chapter 22


1

David Prepares for Temple Building

Then David 1732 said 559, "This 2088 is the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 God 430, and this 2088 is the altar 4196 of burnt 5930 offering 5930 for Israel 3478."
2 ¶ So David 1732 gave 559 orders 559 to gather 3664 the foreigners 1616 who 834 were in the land 776 of Israel 3478, and he set 5975 stonecutters 2672 to hew 2672 out stones 68 to build 1129 the house 1004 of God 430.
3 David 1732 prepared 3559 large 7230 quantities 7230 of iron 1270 to make the nails 4548 for the doors 1817 of the gates 8179 and for the clamps 4226, and more 7230 bronze 5178 than could be weighed 4948;
4 and timbers 6086 of cedar 730 logs beyond 369 number 4557, for the Sidonians 6722 and Tyrians 6876 brought 935 large 7230 quantities 7230 of cedar 730 timber 6086 to David 1732.
5 David 1732 said 559, "My son 1121 Solomon 8010 is young 5288 and inexperienced 7390, and the house 1004 that is to be built 1129 for the LORD 3068 shall be exceedingly 4605 magnificent 1431, famous 8034 and glorious 8597 throughout all 3605 lands 776. {Therefore} now 4994 I will make 3559 preparation 3559 for it." So David 1732 made 3559 ample 7230 preparations 3559 before 6440 his death 4194.
6

Solomon Charged with the Task

¶ Then he called 7121 for his son 1121 Solomon 8010, and charged 6680 him to build 1129 a house 1004 for the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478.
7 David 1732 said 559 to Solomon 8010, "My son 1121, I had intended 3824 to build 1129 a house 1004 to the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 my God 430.
8 "But the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me, saying 559, 'You have shed 8210 much 7230 blood 1818 and have waged 6213 great 1419 wars 4421; you shall not build 1129 a house 1004 to My name 8034, because 3588 you have shed 8210 {so} much 7227 blood 1818 on the earth 776 before 6440 Me.
9 'Behold 2009, a son 1121 will be born 3205 to you, who 1931 shall be a man 376 of rest 4496; and I will give 5117 him rest 5117 from all 3605 his enemies 340 on every 5439 side 5439; for his name 8034 shall be Solomon 8010, and I will give 5414 peace 7965 and quiet 8253 to Israel 3478 in his days 3117.
10 'He shall build 1129 a house 1004 for My name 8034, and he shall be My son 1121 and I will be his father 1; and I will establish 3559 the throne 3678 of his kingdom 4438 over 5921 Israel 3478 forever.'
11 "Now 6258, my son 1121, the LORD 3068 be with you that you may be successful 6743, and build 1129 the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 just 3512 as He has spoken 1696 concerning 5921 you.
12 "Only 389 the LORD 3068 give 5414 you discretion 7922 and understanding 998, and give 6680 you charge 6680 over 5921 Israel 3478, so that you may keep 8104 the law 8451 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.
13 "Then 227 you will prosper 6743, if 518 you are careful 8104 to observe 6213 the statutes 2706 and the ordinances 4941 which 834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872 concerning 5921 Israel 3478. Be strong 2388 and courageous 553, do not fear 3372 nor 408 be dismayed 2865.
14 "Now behold 2009, with great 6040 pains 6040 I have prepared 3559 for the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 100,000 talents 3603 of gold 2091 and 1,000,000 talents 3603 of silver 3701, and bronze 5178 and iron 1270 beyond 369 weight 4948, for they are in great 7230 quantity 7230; also timber 6086 and stone 68 I have prepared 3559, and you may add 3254 to them.
15 "Moreover, there are many 7230 workmen with you, stonecutters 2672 and masons 2796 of stone 68 and carpenters, and all 3605 men 2450 who are skillful 2450 in every 3605 kind of work 4399.
16 "Of the gold 2091, the silver 3701 and the bronze 5178 and the iron 1270 there 369 is no 369 limit 4557. Arise 6965 and work 6213, and may the LORD 3068 be with you."
17 ¶ David 1732 also commanded 6680 all 3605 the leaders 8269 of Israel 3478 to help 5826 his son 1121 Solomon 8010, {saying,}
18 "Is not the LORD 3068 your God 430 with you? And has He not given 5117 you rest 5117 on every 5439 side 5439? For He has given 5414 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 into my hand 3027, and the land 776 is subdued 3533 before 6440 the LORD 3068 and before 6440 His people 5971.
19 "Now 6258 set 5414 your heart 3824 and your soul 5315 to seek 1875 the LORD 3068 your God 430; arise 6965, therefore, and build 1129 the sanctuary 4720 of the LORD 3068 God 430, so that you may bring 935 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 and the holy 6944 vessels 3627 of God 430 into the house 1004 that is to be built 1129 for the name 8034 of the LORD 3068."

Chapter 23

Solomon Reigns

Now when David 1732 reached 2204 old 2204 age 3117, he made 4427 his son 1121 Solomon 8010 king 4427 over 5921 Israel 3478.
2 And he gathered 622 together all 3605 the leaders 8269 of Israel 3478 with the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881.
3

Offices of the Levites

The Levites 3881 were numbered 5608 from thirty 7970 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605, and their number 4557 by census 1538 of men 1397 was 38,000.
4 Of these 428, 24,000 were to oversee 5329 the work 4399 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068; and 6,000 {were} officers 7860 and judges 8199,
5 and 4,000 {were} gatekeepers 7778, and 4,000 {were} praising 1984 the LORD 3068 with the instruments 3627 which 834 David made 6213 for giving 1984 praise 1984.
6 David 1732 divided 2505 them into divisions 4256 according to the sons 1121 of Levi 3878: Gershon 1648, Kohath 6955, and Merari 4847.
7

Gershonites

¶ Of the Gershonites 1649 {were} Ladan 3936 and Shimei 8096.
8 The sons 1121 of Ladan 3936 {were} Jehiel 3171 the first 7218 and Zetham 2241 and Joel 3100, three 7969.
9 The sons 1121 of Shimei 8096 {were} Shelomoth 8013 and Haziel 2381 and Haran 2039, three 7969. These 428 were the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of Ladan 3936.
10 The sons 1121 of Shimei 8096 {were} Jahath 3189, Zina 2126, Jeush 3266 and Beriah 1283. These 428 four 702 {were} the sons 1121 of Shimei 8096.
11 Jahath 3189 was the first 7218 and Zizah 2125 the second 8145; but Jeush 3266 and Beriah 1283 did not have many 7235 sons 1121, so they became 1961 a father's 1 household 1004, one 259 class 6486.
12

Kohathites

¶ The sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 were four 702: Amram 6019, Izhar 3324, Hebron 2275 and Uzziel 5816.
13 The sons 1121 of Amram 6019 were Aaron 175 and Moses 4872. And Aaron 175 was set 914 apart 914 to sanctify 6942 him as most 6944 holy 6944, he and his sons 1121 forever, to burn 6999 incense 6999 before 6440 the LORD 3068, to minister 8334 to Him and to bless 1288 in His name 8034 forever.
14 But {as for} Moses 4872 the man 376 of God 430, his sons 1121 were named 7121 among 5921 the tribe 7626 of Levi 3878.
15 The sons 1121 of Moses 4872 {were} Gershom 1647 and Eliezer 461.
16 The son 1121 of Gershom 1647 {was} Shebuel 7619 the chief 7218.
17 The son 1121 of Eliezer 461 was Rehabiah 7345 the chief 7218; and Eliezer 461 had 1961 no 3808 other 312 sons 1121, but the sons 1121 of Rehabiah 7345 were very 4605 many 7235.
18 The son 1121 of Izhar 3324 was Shelomith 8019 the chief 7218.
19 The sons 1121 of Hebron 2275 {were} Jeriah 3404 the first 7218, Amariah 568 the second 8145, Jahaziel 3166 the third 7992 and Jekameam 3360 the fourth 7243.
20 The sons 1121 of Uzziel 5816 {were} Micah 4318 the first 7218 and Isshiah 3449 the second 8145.
21

Merarites

¶ The sons 1121 of Merari 4847 were Mahli 4249 and Mushi 4187. The sons 1121 of Mahli 4249 {were} Eleazar 499 and Kish 7027.
22 Eleazar 499 died 4191 and had 1961 no 3808 sons 1121, but daughters 1323 only 518, so their brothers 251, the sons 1121 of Kish 7027, took 5375 them {as wives.}
23 The sons 1121 of Mushi 4187 {were} three 7969: Mahli 4249, Eder 5740 and Jeremoth 3406.
24

Duties Revised

These 428 were the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 according to their fathers' 1 households 1004, {even} the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of those of them who were counted 6485, in the number 4557 of names 8034 by their census 1538, doing 6213 the work 4399 for the service 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605.
25 For David 1732 said 559, "The LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 has given 5117 rest 5117 to His people 5971, and He dwells 7931 in Jerusalem 3389 forever.
26 "Also 1571, the Levites 3881 will no 369 longer need to carry 5375 the tabernacle 4908 and all 3605 its utensils 3627 for its service 5656."
27 For by the last 314 words 1697 of David 1732 the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 {were} numbered 4557 from twenty 6242 years 8141 old 1121 and upward 4605.
28 For their office 4612 is to assist 3027 the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 with the service 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, in the courts 2691 and in the chambers 3957 and in the purifying 2893 of all 3605 holy 6944 things 6944, even the work 4639 of the service 5656 of the house 1004 of God 430,
29 and with the showbread, and the fine 5560 flour 5560 for a grain offering 4503, and unleavened 4682 wafers 7550, or {what is baked in} the pan 4227 or what is well-mixed 7246, and all 3605 measures 4060 of volume 4884 and size 4060.
30 They are to stand 5975 every 1242 morning 1242 to thank 3034 and to praise 1984 the LORD 3068, and likewise 3651 at evening 6153,
31 and to offer 5927 all 3605 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 to the LORD 3068, on the sabbaths 7676, the new 2320 moons 2320 and the fixed 4150 festivals 4150 in the number 4557 {set} by the ordinance 4941 concerning 5921 them, continually 8548 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
32 Thus they are to keep 8104 charge 4931 of the tent 168 of meeting 4150, and charge 4931 of the holy 6944 place, and charge 4931 of the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 their relatives 251, for the service 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

Divisions of Levites

Now the divisions 4256 of the descendants 1121 of Aaron 175 {were these:} the sons 1121 of Aaron 175 {were} Nadab 5070, Abihu 30, Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385.
2 But Nadab 5070 and Abihu 30 died 4191 before 6440 their father 1 and had 1961 no 3808 sons 1121. So Eleazar 499 and Ithamar 385 served 3547 as priests 3547.
3 David 1732, with Zadok 6659 of the sons 1121 of Eleazar 499 and Ahimelech 288 of the sons 1121 of Ithamar 385, divided 2505 them according to their offices 6486 for their ministry 5656.
4 Since more 7227 chief 7218 men 1397 were found 4672 from the descendants 1121 of Eleazar 499 than 4480 the descendants 1121 of Ithamar 385, they divided 2505 them thus: {there were} sixteen heads 7218 of fathers' 1 households 1004 of the descendants 1121 of Eleazar 499 and eight 8083 of the descendants 1121 of Ithamar 385, according to their fathers' 1 households 1004.
5 Thus they were divided 2505 by lot 1486, the one 428 as the other 428; for they were officers 8269 of the sanctuary 6944 and officers 8269 of God 430, both from the descendants 1121 of Eleazar 499 and the descendants 1121 of Ithamar 385.
6 Shemaiah 8098, the son 1121 of Nethanel 5417 the scribe 5613, from the Levites 3881, recorded 3789 them in the presence 6440 of the king 4428, the princes 8269, Zadok 6659 the priest 3548, Ahimelech 288 the son 1121 of Abiathar 54, and the heads 7218 of the fathers' 1 {households} of the priests 3548 and of the Levites 3881; one 259 father's 1 household 1004 taken 270 for Eleazar 499 and one taken 270 for Ithamar 385.
7 ¶ Now the first 7223 lot 1486 came 3318 out for Jehoiarib 3080, the second 8145 for Jedaiah 3048,
8 the third 7992 for Harim 2766, the fourth 7243 for Seorim 8188,
9 the fifth 2549 for Malchijah 4441, the sixth 8345 for Mijamin 4326,
10 the seventh 7637 for Hakkoz 6976, the eighth 8066 for Abijah 29,
11 the ninth 8671 for Jeshua 3091, the tenth 6224 for Shecaniah 7935,
12 the eleventh for Eliashib 475, the twelfth for Jakim 3356,
13 the thirteenth for Huppah 2647, the fourteenth for Jeshebeab 3428,
14 the fifteenth for Bilgah 1083, the sixteenth for Immer 564,
15 the seventeenth for Hezir 2387, the eighteenth for Happizzez 6483,
16 the nineteenth for Pethahiah 6611, the twentieth 6242 for Jehezkel 3168,
17 the twenty-first for Jachin 3199, the twenty-second for Gamul 1577,
18 the twenty-third for Delaiah 1806, the twenty-fourth for Maaziah 4590.
19 These 428 were their offices 6486 for their ministry 5656 when {they} came 935 in to the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 according to the ordinance 4941 {given} to them through 3027 Aaron 175 their father 1, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 had commanded 6680 him.
20 ¶ Now for the rest 3498 of the sons 1121 of Levi 3878: of the sons 1121 of Amram 6019, Shubael 7619; of the sons 1121 of Shubael 7619, Jehdeiah 3165.
21 Of Rehabiah 7345: of the sons 1121 of Rehabiah 7345, Isshiah 3449 the first 7218.
22 Of the Izharites 3325, Shelomoth 8013; of the sons 1121 of Shelomoth 8013, Jahath 3189.

David's Address about the Temple

Now David 1732 assembled 6950 at Jerusalem 3389 all 3605 the officials 8269 of Israel 3478, the princes 8269 of the tribes 7626, and the commanders 8269 of the divisions 4256 that served 8334 the king 4428, and the commanders 8269 of thousands 505, and the commanders 8269 of hundreds 3967, and the overseers 8269 of all 3605 the property 7399 and livestock 4735 belonging to the king 4428 and his sons 1121, with the officials 5631 and the mighty 1368 men 1368, even all 3605 the valiant 2428 men 1368.
2 Then King 4428 David 1732 rose 6965 to his feet 7272 and said 559, "Listen 8085 to me, my brethren 251 and my people 5971; I {had} intended 3824 to build 1129 a permanent 4496 home 1004 for the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 and for the footstool of our God 430. So I had made 3559 preparations 3559 to build 1129 {it.}
3 "But God 430 said 559 to me, 'You shall not build 1129 a house 1004 for My name 8034 because 3588 you are a man 376 of war 4421 and have shed 8210 blood 1818.'
4 "Yet, the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, chose 977 me from all 3605 the house 1004 of my father 1 to be king 4428 over 5921 Israel 3478 forever 5769. For He has chosen 977 Judah 3063 to be a leader 5057; and in the house 1004 of Judah 3063, my father's 1 house 1004, and among the sons 1121 of my father 1 He took 7521 pleasure 7521 in me to make 4427 {me} king 4427 over 5921 all 3605 Israel 3478.
5 "Of all 3605 my sons 1121 (for the LORD 3068 has given 5414 me many 7227 sons 1121), He has chosen 977 my son 1121 Solomon 8010 to sit 3427 on the throne 3678 of the kingdom 4438 of the LORD 3068 over 5921 Israel 3478.
6 "He said 559 to me, 'Your son 1121 Solomon 8010 is the one who 1931 shall build 1129 My house 1004 and My courts 2691; for I have chosen 977 him to be a son 1121 to Me, and I will be a father 1 to him.
7 'I will establish 3559 his kingdom 4438 forever if 518 he resolutely 2388 performs 6213 My commandments 4687 and My ordinances 4941, as is done now 3117.'
8 "So now 6258, in the sight 5869 of all 3605 Israel 3478, the assembly 6951 of the LORD 3068, and in the hearing 241 of our God 430, observe 8104 and seek 1875 after 1875 all 3605 the commandments 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 so 4616 that you may possess 5157 the good 2896 land 776 and bequeath 5157 {it} to your sons 1121 after 310 you forever.
9 ¶ "As for you, my son 1121 Solomon 8010, know 3045 the God 430 of your father 1, and serve 5647 Him with a whole 8003 heart 3820 and a willing 2655 mind 5315; for the LORD 3068 searches 1875 all 3605 hearts 3824, and understands 995 every 3605 intent 3336 of the thoughts 4284. If 518 you seek 1875 Him, He will let you find 4672 Him; but if 518 you forsake 5800 Him, He will reject 2186 you forever 5703.
10 "Consider 7200 now 6258, for the LORD 3068 has chosen 977 you to build 1129 a house 1004 for the sanctuary 4720; be courageous 2388 and act 6213."
11 ¶ Then David 1732 gave 5414 to his son 1121 Solomon 8010 the plan 8403 of the porch 197 {of the temple,} its buildings 1004, its storehouses 1597, its upper 5944 rooms 5944, its inner 6442 rooms 2315 and the room 1004 for the mercy 3727 seat 3727;
12 and the plan 8403 of all 3605 that he had 1961 in mind 7307, for the courts 2691 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and for all 3605 the surrounding 5439 rooms 3957, for the storehouses 214 of the house 1004 of God 430 and for the storehouses 214 of the dedicated 6944 things 6944;
13 also for the divisions 4256 of the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881 and for all 3605 the work 4399 of the service 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 and for all 3605 the utensils 3627 of service 5656 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068;
14 for the golden 2091 {utensils,} the weight 4948 of gold 2091 for all 3605 utensils 3627 for every 3605 kind 5656 of service 5656; for the silver 3701 utensils 3627, the weight 4948 {of silver} for all 3605 utensils 3627 for every 3605 kind 5656 of service 5656;
15 and the weight 4948 {of gold} for the golden 2091 lampstands 4501 and their golden 2091 lamps 5216, with the weight 4948 of each lampstand 4501 and its lamps 5216; and {the weight of silver} for the silver 3701 lampstands 4501, with the weight 4948 of each lampstand 4501 and its lamps 5216 according to the use 5656 of each 4501 lampstand 4501;
16 and the gold 2091 by weight 4948 for the tables 7979 of showbread 4635, for each 7979 table 7979; and silver 3701 for the silver 3701 tables 7979;
17 and the forks 4207, the basins 4219, and the pitchers 7184 of pure 2889 gold 2091; and for the golden 2091 bowls 3713 with the weight 4948 for each 3713 bowl 3713; and for the silver 3701 bowls 3713 with the weight 4948 for each 3713 bowl 3713;
18 and for the altar 4196 of incense 7004 refined 2212 gold 2091 by weight 4948; and gold 2091 for the model 8403 of the chariot 4818, {even} the cherubim 3742 that spread 6566 out {their wings} and covered 5526 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068.
19 ¶ "All 3605 {this,}" {said David,} "the LORD 3068 made me understand 7919 in writing 3791 by His hand 3027 upon me, all 3605 the details 4399 of this pattern 8403."
20 ¶ Then David 1732 said 559 to his son 1121 Solomon 8010, "Be strong 2388 and courageous 553, and act 6213; do not fear 3372 nor 408 be dismayed 2865, for the LORD 3068 God 430, my God 430, is with you. He will not fail 7503 you nor 3808 forsake 5800 you until 5704 all 3605 the work 4399 for the service 5656 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 is finished 3615.
21 "Now behold 2009, {there are} the divisions 4256 of the priests 3548 and the Levites 3881 for all 3605 the service 5656 of the house 1004 of God 430, and every 3605 willing 5081 man 5081 of any 3605 skill 2451 will be with you in all 3605 the work 4399 for all 3605 kinds of service 5656. The officials 8269 also and all 3605 the people 5971 will be entirely 3605 at your command 1697."

Offerings for the Temple

Then King 4428 David 1732 said 559 to the entire 3605 assembly 6951, "My son 1121 Solomon 8010, whom alone 259 God 430 has chosen 977, is still young 5288 and inexperienced 7390 and the work 4399 is great 1419; for the temple 1002 is not for man 120, but for the LORD 3068 God 430.
2 "Now with all 3605 my ability 3581 I have provided 3559 for the house 1004 of my God 430 the gold 2091 for the {things of} gold 2091, and the silver 3701 for the {things of} silver 3701, and the bronze 5178 for the {things of} bronze 5178, the iron 1270 for the {things of} iron 1270, and wood 6086 for the {things of} wood 6086, onyx 7718 stones 68 and inlaid 4394 {stones,} stones 68 of antimony 6320 and stones 7553 of various 7553 colors 7553, and all 3605 kinds of precious 3368 stones 68 and alabaster 7893 in abundance 7230.
3 "Moreover 5750, in my delight 7521 in the house 1004 of my God 430, the treasure 5459 I have 3426 of gold 2091 and silver 3701, I give 5414 to the house 1004 of my God 430, over 4605 and above all 3605 that I have already provided 3559 for the holy 6944 temple 1004,
4 {namely,} 3,000 talents 3603 of gold 2091, of the gold 2091 of Ophir 211, and 7,000 talents 3603 of refined 2212 silver 3701, to overlay 2902 the walls 7023 of the buildings 1004;
5 of gold 2091 for the {things of} gold 2091 and of silver 3701 for the {things of} silver 3701, that is, for all 3605 the work 4399 done 3027 by the craftsmen 2796. Who 4310 then is willing 5068 to consecrate himself this day 3117 to the LORD 3068?"
6 ¶ Then the rulers 8269 of the fathers' 1 {households,} and the princes 8269 of the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, and the commanders 8269 of thousands 505 and of hundreds 3967, with the overseers 8269 over the king's 4428 work 4399, offered 5068 willingly 5068;
7 and for the service 5656 for the house 1004 of God 430 they gave 5414 5,000 talents 3603 and 10,000 darics 150 of gold 2091, and 10,000 talents 3603 of silver 3701, and 18,000 talents 3603 of brass 5178, and 100,000 talents 3603 of iron 1270.
8 Whoever possessed 4672 {precious} stones 68 gave 5414 them to the treasury 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, in care 3027 of Jehiel 3171 the Gershonite 1649.
9 Then the people 5971 rejoiced 8055 because 5921 they had offered 5068 so willingly 5068, for they made 5068 their offering 5068 to the LORD 3068 with a whole 8003 heart 3820, and King 4428 David 1732 also 1571 rejoiced 8055 greatly 1419.

David's Prayer

¶ So David 1732 blessed 1288 the LORD 3068 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 the assembly 6951; and David 1732 said 559, "Blessed 1288 are You, O LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 our father 1, forever 5769 and ever 5769.
11 "Yours, O LORD 3068, is the greatness 1420 and the power 1369 and the glory 8597 and the victory 5331 and the majesty 1935, indeed 3588 everything 3605 that is in the heavens 8064 and the earth 776; Yours is the dominion 4467, O LORD 3068, and You exalt 5375 Yourself as head 7218 over all 3605.
12 "Both riches 6239 and honor 3519 {come} from You, and You rule 4910 over all 3605, and in Your hand 3027 is power 3581 and might 1369; and it lies in Your hand 3027 to make 1431 great 1431 and to strengthen 2388 everyone 3605.
13 "Now 6258 therefore, our God 430, we thank 3034 You, and praise 1984 Your glorious 8597 name 8034.
14 ¶ "But who 4310 am I and who 4310 are my people 5971 that we should be able to offer 5068 as generously as this 2088? For all 3605 things 3605 come from You, and from Your hand 3027 we have given 5414 You.
15 "For we are sojourners 1616 before 6440 You, and tenants 8453, as all 3605 our fathers 1 were; our days 3117 on the earth 776 are like a shadow 6738, and there 369 is no 369 hope 4723.
16 "O LORD 3068 our God 430, all 3605 this 2088 abundance 1995 that we have provided 3559 to build 1129 You a house 1004 for Your holy 6944 name 8034, it is from Your hand 3027, and all 3605 is Yours.
17 "Since I know 3045, O my God 430, that You try 974 the heart 3824 and delight 7521 in uprightness 4339, I, in the integrity 3476 of my heart 3824, have willingly 5068 offered 5068 all 3605 these 428 {things;} so now 6258 with joy 8057 I have seen 7200 Your people 5971, who are present 4672 here 6311, make 5068 {their} offerings 5068 willingly 5068 to You.
18 "O LORD 3068, the God 430 of Abraham 85, Isaac 3327 and Israel 3478, our fathers 1, preserve 8104 this 2088 forever 5769 in the intentions of the heart 3824 of Your people 5971, and direct 3559 their heart 3824 to You;
19 and give 5414 to my son 1121 Solomon 8010 a perfect 8003 heart 3824 to keep 8104 Your commandments 4687, Your testimonies 5715 and Your statutes 2706, and to do 6213 {them} all 3605, and to build 1129 the temple 1002, for which 834 I have made 3559 provision 3559."
20 ¶ Then David 1732 said 559 to all 3605 the assembly 6951, "Now 4994 bless 1288 the LORD 3068 your God 430." And all 3605 the assembly 6951 blessed 1288 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of their fathers 1, and bowed 6915 low 6915 and did 7812 homage 7812 to the LORD 3068 and to the king 4428.
21

Sacrifices

On the next 4283 day 3117 they made 2076 sacrifices 2077 to the LORD 3068 and offered 5927 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 to the LORD 3068, 1,000 505 bulls 6499, 1,000 505 rams 352 {and} 1,000 505 lambs 3532, with their drink 5262 offerings 5262 and sacrifices 2077 in abundance 7230 for all 3605 Israel 3478.
22 So they ate 398 and drank 8354 that day 3117 before 6440 the LORD 3068 with great 1419 gladness 8057.
23

Solomon Again Made King

¶ Then Solomon 8010 sat 3427 on the throne 3678 of the LORD 3068 as king 4428 instead 8478 of David 1732 his father 1; and he prospered 6743, and all 3605 Israel 3478 obeyed 8085 him.
24 All 3605 the officials 8269, the mighty 1368 men 1368, and also 1571 all 3605 the sons 1121 of King 4428 David 1732 pledged 5414 allegiance to King 4428 Solomon 8010.
25 The LORD 3068 highly 4605 exalted 1431 Solomon 8010 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 Israel 3478, and bestowed 5414 on him royal 4438 majesty 1935 which 834 had 1961 not been 1961 on any 3605 king 4428 before 6440 him in Israel 3478.
26 ¶ Now David 1732 the son 1121 of Jesse 3448 reigned 4427 over 5921 all 3605 Israel 3478.
27 The period 3117 which 834 he reigned 4427 over 5921 Israel 3478 {was} forty 705 years 8141; he reigned 4427 in Hebron 2275 seven 7651 years 8141 and in Jerusalem 3389 thirty-three {years.}
28

Death of David

Then he died 4191 in a ripe 2896 old 7872 age 7872, full 7649 of days 3117, riches 6239 and honor 3519; and his son 1121 Solomon 8010 reigned 4427 in his place 8478.
29 Now the acts 1697 of King 4428 David 1732, from first 7223 to last 314, are written 3789 in the chronicles 1697 of Samuel 8050 the seer 7203, in the chronicles 1697 of Nathan 5416 the prophet 5030 and in the chronicles 1697 of Gad 1410 the seer 2374,
30 with all 3605 his reign 4438, his power 1369, and the circumstances 6256 which 834 came 5674 on him, on Israel 3478, and on all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 of the lands 776.
