the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

1CH 04:40 And they found fat pasture and good, and the land

[was] wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for [they] of Ham had

dwelt there of old.

1CH 04:41 And these written by name came in the days of

Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the

habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly

Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of

Ishi.

1CH 04:43 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were

escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.

1CH 05:01 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for

he [was] the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his

father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph

the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after

the birthright.

1CH 05:02 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him

[came] the chief ruler; but the birthright [was] Joseph's:)

1CH 05:03 The sons, [I say], of Reuben the firstborn of Israel

[were], Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

1CH 05:07 And his brethren by their families, when the

genealogy of their generations was reckoned, [were] the chief,

Jeiel, and Zechariah,

1CH 05:08 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son

of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

1CH 05:09 And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of

the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle

were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

1CH 05:10 And in the days of Saul they made war with the

Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents

throughout all the east [land] of Gilead.

1CH 05:11 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in

the land of Bashan unto Salcah:

1CH 05:12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai,

and Shaphat in Bashan.

1CH 05:13 And their brethren of the house of their fathers

[were], Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan,

son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

1CH 05:15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the

house of their fathers.

1CH 05:16 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns,

and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

1CH 05:17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days

of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of

Israel.

1CH 05:18 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the

tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and

sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, [were] four

and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out

to the war.

1CH 05:19 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur,

and Nephish, and Nodab.

1CH 05:20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites

were delivered into their hand, and all that [were] with them:

for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of

them; because they put their trust in him.

1CH 05:21 And they took away their cattle; of their camels

fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and

of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.

1CH 09:30 And [some] of the sons of the priests made the

ointment of the spices.

1CH 09:31 And Mattithiah, [one] of the Levites, who [was] the

firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the

things that were made in the pans.

1CH 09:32 And [other] of their brethren, of the sons of the

Kohathites, [were] over the showbread, to prepare [it] every

sabbath.

1CH 09:33 And these [are] the singers, chief of the fathers of

the Levites, [who remaining] in the chambers [were] free: for

they were employed in [that] work day and night.

1CH 09:34 These chief fathers of the Levites [were] chief

throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.

1CH 09:35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel,

whose wife's name [was] Maachah:

1CH 09:36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and

Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,

1CH 09:37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

1CH 09:38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with

their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.

1CH 09:39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul

begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

1CH 09:40 And the son of Jonathan [was] Meribbaal: and

Meribbaal begat Micah.

1CH 09:41 And the sons of Micah [were], Pithon, and Melech,

and Tahrea, [and Ahaz].

1CH 09:42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and

Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;

1CH 09:43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah

his son, Azel his son.

1CH 09:44 And Azel had six sons, whose names [are] these,

Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and

Hanan: these [were] the sons of Azel.

1CH 10:01 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the

men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down

slain in mount Gilboa.

1CH 10:02 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and

after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab,

and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

1CH 10:03 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the

archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

1CH 10:04 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword,

and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come

and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore

afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

1CH 10:05 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he

fell likewise on the sword, and died.

1CH 10:06 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house

died together.

1CH 10:07 And when all the men of Israel that [were] in the

valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead,

then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines

came and dwelt in them.

1CH 10:08 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the

Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and

his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.

1CH 10:09 And when they had stripped him, they took his head,

and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round

about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.

1CH 10:10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods,

and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

1CH 10:11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the

Philistines had done to Saul,

1CH 10:12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the

body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to

Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and

fasted seven days.

1CH 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he

committed against the LORD, [even] against the word of the LORD,

which he kept not, and also for asking [counsel] of [one that

had] a familiar spirit, to inquire [of it];

1CH 10:14 And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him,

and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

1CH 11:01 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto

Hebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.

1CH 11:02 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king,

thou [wast] he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and

the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people

Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

1CH 11:03 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king

to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before

the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to

the word of the LORD by Samuel.

1CH 11:04 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which

[is] Jebus; where the Jebusites [were], the inhabitants of the

land.

1CH 11:05 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou

shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of

Zion, which [is] the city of David.

1CH 11:06 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites

first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah

went first up, and was chief.

1CH 11:07 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called

it the city of David.

1CH 11:08 And he built the city round about, even from Millo

round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

1CH 11:09 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of

hosts [was] with him.

1CH 11:10 These also [are] the chief of the mighty men whom

David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom,

[and] with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word

of the LORD concerning Israel.

1CH 11:11 And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom

David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains:

he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain [by him] at

one time.

1CH 11:12 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo, the

Ahohite, who [was one] of the three mighties.

1CH 11:13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the

Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel

of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the

Philistines.

1CH 11:14 And they set themselves in the midst of [that]

parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD

saved [them] by a great deliverance.

1CH 11:15 Now three of the thirty captains went down to the

rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the

Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

1CH 11:16 And David [was] then in the hold, and the

Philistines' garrison [was] then at Bethlehem.

1CH 11:17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give

me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that [is] at the

gate!

1CH 11:18 And the three brake through the host of the

Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that

[was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: but

David would not drink [of] it, but poured it out to the LORD,

1CH 11:19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this

thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their

lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they

brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did

these three mightiest.

1CH 11:20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the

three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew

[them], and had a name among the three.

1CH 11:21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two;

for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first]

three.

1CH 11:22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant

man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men

of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy

day.

1CH 11:23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature,

five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand [was] a spear like

a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and

plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with

his own spear.

1CH 11:24 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and

had the name among the three mighties.

1CH 11:25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but

attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his

guard.

1CH 11:26 Also the valiant men of the armies [were], Asahel

the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

1CH 11:27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

1CH 11:28 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the

Antothite,

1CH 11:29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

1CH 11:30 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah

the Netophathite,

1CH 11:31 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, [that pertained]

to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

1CH 11:32 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,

1CH 11:33 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,

1CH 11:34 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of

Shage the Hararite,

1CH 11:35 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son

of Ur,

1CH 11:36 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,

1CH 11:37 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,

1CH 11:38 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of

Haggeri,

1CH 11:39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the

armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,

1CH 11:40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

1CH 11:41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,

1CH 11:42 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of

the Reubenites, and thirty with him,

1CH 11:43 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,

1CH 11:44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of

Hothan the Aroerite,

1CH 11:45 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the

Tizite,

1CH 11:46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the

sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,

1CH 11:47 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.

1CH 12:01 Now these [are] they that came to David to Ziklag,

while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish:

and they [were] among the mighty men, helpers of the war.

1CH 12:02 [They were] armed with bows, and could use both the

right hand and the left in [hurling] stones and [shooting]

arrows out of a bow, [even] of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

1CH 12:03 The chief [was] Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of

Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of

Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,

1CH 12:04 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the

thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and

Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,

1CH 12:05 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah,

and Shephatiah the Haruphite,

1CH 12:06 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and

Jashobeam, the Korhites,

1CH 12:07 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of

Gedor.

1CH 12:08 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto

David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, [and] men of

war [fit] for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler,

whose faces [were like] the faces of lions, and [were] as swift

as the roes upon the mountains;

1CH 12:09 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

1CH 12:10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

1CH 12:11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

1CH 12:12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

1CH 12:13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

1CH 12:14 These [were] of the sons of Gad, captains of the

host: one of the least [was] over an hundred, and the greatest

over a thousand.

1CH 12:15 These [are] they that went over Jordan in the first

month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to

flight all [them] of the valleys, [both] toward the east, and

toward the west.

1CH 12:16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah

to the hold unto David.

1CH 12:17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and

said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine

heart shall be knit unto you: but if [ye be come] to betray me

to mine enemies, seeing [there is] no wrong in mine hands, the

God of our fathers look [thereon], and rebuke [it].

1CH 12:18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, [who was] chief of

the captains, [and he said], Thine [are we], David, and on thy

side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace [be] unto thee, and peace

[be] to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David

received them, and made them captains of the band.

1CH 12:19 And there fell [some] of Manasseh to David, when he

came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they

helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon

advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master

Saul to [the jeopardy of] our heads.

1CH 12:20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh,

Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and

Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that [were] of

Manasseh.

1CH 12:21 And they helped David against the band [of the

rovers]: for they [were] all mighty men of valour, and were

captains in the host.

1CH 12:22 For at [that] time day by day there came to David to

help him, until [it was] a great host, like the host of God.

1CH 12:23 And these [are] the numbers of the bands [that were]

ready armed to the war, [and] came to David to Hebron, to turn

the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.

1CH 12:24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear

[were] six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

1CH 12:25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for

the war, seven thousand and one hundred.

1CH 12:26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six

hundred.

1CH 12:27 And Jehoiada [was] the leader of the Aaronites, and

with him [were] three thousand and seven hundred;

1CH 12:28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his

father's house twenty and two captains.

1CH 12:29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul,

three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept

the ward of the house of Saul.

1CH 12:30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and

eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house

of their fathers.

1CH 12:31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand,

which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

1CH 12:32 And of the children of Issachar, [which were men]

that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought

to do; the heads of them [were] two hundred; and all their

brethren [were] at their commandment.

1CH 12:33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in

war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could

keep rank: [they were] not of double heart.

1CH 12:34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them

with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.

1CH 12:35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight

thousand and six hundred.

1CH 12:36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert

in war, forty thousand.

1CH 12:37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites,

and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all

manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and

twenty thousand.

1CH 12:38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came

with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all

Israel: and all the rest also of Israel [were] of one heart to

make David king.

1CH 12:39 And there they were with David three days, eating

and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

1CH 12:40 Moreover they that were nigh them, [even] unto

Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and

on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, [and] meat, meal, cakes of

figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and

sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Israel.

1CH 13:01 And David consulted with the captains of thousands

and hundreds, [and] with every leader.

1CH 13:02 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel,

If [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD our God,

let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are]

left in all the land of Israel, and with them [also] to the

priests and Levites [which are] in their cities [and] suburbs,

that they may gather themselves unto us:

1CH 13:03 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for

we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.

1CH 13:04 And all the congregation said that they would do so:

for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

1CH 13:05 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor

of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of

God from Kirjathjearim.

1CH 13:06 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that

is], to Kirjathjearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up

thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the

cherubims, whose name is called [on it].

1CH 13:07 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of

the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

1CH 13:08 And David and all Israel played before God with all

[their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with

psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with

trumpets.

1CH 13:09 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon,

Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

1CH 13:10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza,

and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there

he died before God.

1CH 13:11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made

a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to

this day.

1CH 13:12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How

shall I bring the ark of God [home] to me?

1CH 13:13 So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to

the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of

Obededom the Gittite.

1CH 13:14 And the ark of God remained with the family of

Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the

house of Obededom, and all that he had.

1CH 14:01 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and

timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an

house.

1CH 14:02 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him

king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because

of his people Israel.

1CH 14:03 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David

begat more sons and daughters.

1CH 14:04 Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he

had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

1CH 14:05 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

1CH 14:06 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

1CH 14:07 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

1CH 14:08 And when the Philistines heard that David was

anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to

seek David. And David heard [of it], and went out against them.

1CH 14:09 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in

the valley of Rephaim.

1CH 14:10 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up

against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine

hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them

into thine hand.

1CH 14:11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them

there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by

mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they

called the name of that place Baalperazim.

1CH 14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave

a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

1CH 14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves

abroad in the valley.

1CH 14:14 Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said

unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come

upon them over against the mulberry trees.

1CH 14:15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of

going in the tops of the mulberry trees, [that] then thou shalt

go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the

host of the Philistines.

1CH 14:16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they

smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

1CH 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and

the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

1CH 15:01 And [David] made him houses in the city of David,

and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a

tent.

1CH 15:02 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God

but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark

of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

1CH 15:03 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem,

to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had

prepared for it.

1CH 15:04 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the

Levites:

1CH 15:05 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his

brethren an hundred and twenty:

1CH 15:06 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his

brethren two hundred and twenty:

1CH 15:07 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his

brethren an hundred and thirty:

1CH 15:08 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and

his brethren two hundred:

1CH 15:09 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his

brethren fourscore:

1CH 15:10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his

brethren an hundred and twelve.

1CH 15:11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests,

and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and

Eliel, and Amminadab,

1CH 15:12 And said unto them, Ye [are] the chief of the

fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, [both] ye and your

brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel

unto [the place that] I have prepared for it.

1CH 15:13 For because ye [did it] not at the first, the LORD

our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after

the due order.

1CH 15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves

to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

1CH 15:15 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God

upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded

according to the word of the LORD.

1CH 15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to

appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of

music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up

the voice with joy.

1CH 15:17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and

of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of

Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

1CH 15:18 And with them their brethren of the second [degree],

Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and

Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and

Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

1CH 15:19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were

appointed] to sound with cymbals of brass;

1CH 15:20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and

Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with

psalteries on Alamoth;

1CH 15:21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and

Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to

excel.

1CH 15:22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song:

he instructed about the song, because he [was] skilful.

1CH 15:23 And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] doorkeepers for the

ark.

1CH 15:24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and

Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests,

did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom

and Jehiah [were] doorkeepers for the ark.

1CH 15:25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains

over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the

LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.

1CH 15:26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites

that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered

seven bullocks and seven rams.

1CH 15:27 And David [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen,

and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and

Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also

[had] upon him an ephod of linen.

1CH 15:28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant

of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and

with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries

and harps.

1CH 15:29 And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of

the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of

Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing:

and she despised him in her heart.

1CH 16:01 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the

midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they

offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.

1CH 16:02 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt

offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the

name of the LORD.

1CH 16:03 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and

woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh,

and a flagon [of wine].

1CH 16:04 And he appointed [certain] of the Levites to

minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank

and praise the LORD God of Israel:

1CH 16:05 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel,

and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and

Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps;

but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

1CH 16:06 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets

continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

1CH 16:07 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm]

to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

1CH 16:08 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make

known his deeds among the people.

1CH 16:09 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all

his wondrous works.

1CH 16:10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them

rejoice that seek the LORD.

1CH 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face

continually.

1CH 16:12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his

wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

1CH 16:13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of

Jacob, his chosen ones.

1CH 16:14 He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all

the earth.

1CH 16:15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word

[which] he commanded to a thousand generations;

1CH 16:16 [Even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham,

and of his oath unto Isaac;

1CH 16:17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law,

[and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant,

1CH 16:18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,

the lot of your inheritance;

1CH 16:19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in

it.

1CH 16:20 And [when] they went from nation to nation, and from

[one] kingdom to another people;

1CH 16:21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he

reproved kings for their sakes,

1CH 16:22 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my

prophets no harm.

1CH 16:23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from

day to day his salvation.

1CH 16:24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous

works among all nations.

1CH 16:25 For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised:

he also [is] to be feared above all gods.

1CH 16:26 For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the

LORD made the heavens.

1CH 16:27 Glory and honour [are] in his presence; strength and

gladness [are] in his place.

1CH 16:28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give

unto the LORD glory and strength.

1CH 16:29 Give unto the LORD the glory [due] unto his name:

bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the

beauty of holiness.

1CH 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall

be stable, that it be not moved.

1CH 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice:

and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

1CH 16:32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the

fields rejoice, and all that [is] therein.

1CH 16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the

presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

1CH 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good; for

his mercy [endureth] for ever.

1CH 16:35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and

gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may

give thanks to thy holy name, [and] glory in thy praise.

1CH 16:36 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and

ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

1CH 16:37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of

the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark

continually, as every day's work required:

1CH 16:38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and

eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be]

porters:

1CH 16:39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests,

before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was]

at Gibeon,

1CH 16:40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the

altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and

[to do] according to all that is written in the law of the LORD,

which he commanded Israel;

1CH 16:41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that

were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the

LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever;

1CH 16:42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and

cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical

instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun [were] porters.

1CH 16:43 And all the people departed every man to his house:

and David returned to bless his house.

1CH 17:01 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that

David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of

cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD [remaineth]

under curtains.

1CH 17:02 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that [is] in

thine heart; for God [is] with thee.

1CH 17:03 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of

God came to Nathan, saying,

1CH 17:04 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD,

Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

1CH 17:05 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that

I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to

tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].

1CH 17:06 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a

word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my

people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

1CH 17:07 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant

David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the

sheepcote, [even] from following the sheep, that thou shouldest

be ruler over my people Israel:

1CH 17:08 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast

walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and

have made thee a name like the name of the great men that [are]

in the earth.

1CH 17:09 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and

will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall

be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste

them any more, as at the beginning,

1CH 17:10 And since the time that I commanded judges [to be]

over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies.

Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.

1CH 17:11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired

that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up

thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will

establish his kingdom.

1CH 17:12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his

throne for ever.

1CH 17:13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I

will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him]

that was before thee:

1CH 17:14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my

kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for

evermore.

1CH 17:15 According to all these words, and according to all

this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

1CH 17:16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and

said, Who [am] I, O LORD God, and what [is] mine house, that

thou hast brought me hitherto?

1CH 17:17 And [yet] this was a small thing in thine eyes, O

God; for thou hast [also] spoken of thy servant's house for a

great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the

estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

1CH 17:18 What can David [speak] more to thee for the honour

of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

1CH 17:19 O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to

thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making

known all [these] great things.

1CH 17:20 O LORD, [there is] none like thee, neither [is there

any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with

our ears.

1CH 17:21 And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy

people Israel, whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people,

to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving

out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out

of Egypt?

1CH 17:22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own

people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

1CH 17:23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast

spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be

established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

1CH 17:24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be

magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God of

Israel, [even] a God to Israel: and [let] the house of David thy

servant [be] established before thee.

1CH 17:25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou

wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found [in

his heart] to pray before thee.

1CH 17:26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this

goodness unto thy servant:

1CH 17:27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house

of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou

blessest, O LORD, and [it shall be] blessed for ever.

1CH 18:01 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the

Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out

of the hand of the Philistines.

1CH 18:02 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's

servants, [and] brought gifts.

1CH 18:03 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath,

as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

1CH 18:04 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and

seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also

hocked all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them an hundred

chariots.

1CH 18:05 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help

Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and

twenty thousand men.

1CH 18:06 Then David put [garrisons] in Syriadamascus; and the

Syrians became David's servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the

LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

1CH 18:07 And David took the shields of gold that were on the

servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

1CH 18:08 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of

Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made

the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

1CH 18:09 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had

smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

1CH 18:10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of

his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought

against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with

Tou;) and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver

and brass.

1CH 18:11 Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with

the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations;

from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and

from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

1CH 18:12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the

Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

1CH 18:13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites

became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David

whithersoever he went.

1CH 18:14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed

judgment and justice among all his people.

1CH 18:15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and

Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

1CH 18:16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son

of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

1CH 18:17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the

Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were]

chief about the king.

1CH 19:01 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king

of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

1CH 19:02 And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the

son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And

David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So

the servants of David came into the land of the children of

Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

1CH 19:03 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to

Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he

hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto

thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

1CH 19:04 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved

them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their

buttocks, and sent them away.

1CH 19:05 Then there went [certain], and told David how the

men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were

greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your

beards be grown, and [then] return.

1CH 19:06 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had

made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon

sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and

horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of

Zobah.

1CH 19:07 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and

the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before

Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together

from their cities, and came to battle.

1CH 19:08 And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all

the host of the mighty men.

1CH 19:09 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the

battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that

were come [were] by themselves in the field.

1CH 19:10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against

him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel,

and put [them] in array against the Syrians.

1CH 19:11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the

hand of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array

against the children of Ammon.

1CH 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, then I will help thee.

1CH 19:13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves

valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let

the LORD do [that which is] good in his sight.

1CH 19:14 So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew

nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before

him.

1CH 19:15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians

were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and

entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

1CH 19:16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the

worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the

Syrians that [were] beyond the river: and Shophach the captain

of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.

1CH 19:17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel,

and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle]

in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array

against the Syrians, they fought with him.

1CH 19:18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew

of the Syrians seven thousand [men which fought in] chariots,

and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of

the host.

1CH 19:19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they

were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David,

and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the

children of Ammon any more.

1CH 20:01 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired,

at the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the

power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of

Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at

Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

1CH 20:02 And David took the crown of their king from off his

head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were]

precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he

brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.

1CH 20:03 And he brought out the people that [were] in it, and

cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes.

Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon.

And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

1CH 20:04 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war

at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the

Hushathite slew Sippai, [that was] of the children of the giant:

and they were subdued.

1CH 20:05 And there was war again with the Philistines; and

Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the

Gittite, whose spear staff [was] like a weaver's beam.

1CH 20:06 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man

of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and

twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also

was the son of the giant.

1CH 20:07 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of

Shimea David's brother slew him.

1CH 20:08 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they

fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

1CH 21:01 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked

David to number Israel.

1CH 21:02 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the

people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring

the number of them to me, that I may know [it].

1CH 21:03 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an

hundred times so many more as they [be]: but, my lord the king,

[are] they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord

require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

1CH 21:04 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab.

Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and

came to Jerusalem.

1CH 21:05 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people

unto David. And all [they of] Israel were a thousand thousand

and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah [was]

four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.

1CH 21:06 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for

the king's word was abominable to Joab.

1CH 21:07 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he

smote Israel.

1CH 21:08 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly,

because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away

the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

1CH 21:09 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

1CH 21:10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I

offer thee three [things]: choose thee one of them, that I may

do [it] unto thee.

1CH 21:11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith

the LORD, Choose thee

1CH 21:12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be

destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies

overtaketh [thee]; or else three days the sword of the LORD,

even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD

destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore

advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

1CH 21:13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let

me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great [are] his

mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.

1CH 21:14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there

fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

1CH 21:15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it:

and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him

of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough,

stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the

threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1CH 21:16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of

the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn

sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and

the elders [of Israel, who were] clothed in sackcloth, fell upon

their faces.

1CH 21:17 And David said unto God, [Is it] not I [that]

commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have

sinned and done evil indeed; but [as for] these sheep, what have

they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me,

and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they

should be plagued.

1CH 21:18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to

David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the

LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1CH 21:19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he

spake in the name of the LORD.

1CH 21:20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his

four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

1CH 21:21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw

David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to

David with [his] face to the ground.

1CH 21:22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of

[this] threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto

the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the

plague may be stayed from the people.

1CH 21:23 And Ornan said unto David, Take [it] to thee, and

let my lord the king do [that which is] good in his eyes: lo, I

give [thee] the oxen [also] for burnt offerings, and the

threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat

offering; I give it all.

1CH 21:24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily

buy it for the full price: for I will not take [that] which [is]

thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

1CH 21:25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred

shekels of gold by weight.

1CH 21:26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and

offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the

LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of

burnt offering.

1CH 21:27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his

sword again into the sheath thereof.

1CH 21:28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had

answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then

he sacrificed there.

1CH 21:29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in

the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, [were] at

that season in the high place at Gibeon.

1CH 21:30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God:

for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

1CH 22:01 Then David said, This [is] the house of the LORD God,

and this [is] the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

1CH 22:02 And David commanded to gather together the strangers

that [were] in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew

wrought stones to build the house of God.

1CH 22:03 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails

for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in

abundance without weight;

1CH 22:04 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and

they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

1CH 22:05 And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender,

and the house [that is] to be builded for the LORD [must be]

exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all

countries: I will [therefore] now make preparation for it. So

David prepared abundantly before his death.

1CH 22:06 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him

to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

1CH 22:07 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was

in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

1CH 22:08 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou

hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt

not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much

blood upon the earth in my sight.

1CH 22:09 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a

man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round

about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and

quietness unto Israel in his days.

1CH 22:10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be

my son, and I [will be] his father; and I will establish the

throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

1CH 22:11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou,

and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of

thee.

1CH 22:12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding,

and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep

the law of the LORD thy God.

1CH 22:13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to

fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses

with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread

not, nor be dismayed.

1CH 22:14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the

house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a

thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron

without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone

have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

1CH 22:15 Moreover [there are] workmen with thee in abundance,

hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of

cunning men for every manner of work.

1CH 22:16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron,

[there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the

LORD be with thee.

1CH 22:17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to

help Solomon his son, [saying],

1CH 22:18 [Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he

[not] given you rest on every side? for he hath given the

inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued

before the LORD, and before his people.

1CH 22:19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD

your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the

LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the

holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the

name of the LORD.

1CH 23:01 So when David was old and full of days, he made

Solomon his son king over Israel.

1CH 23:02 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel,

with the priests and the Levites.

1CH 23:03 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty

years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man,

was thirty and eight thousand.

1CH 23:04 Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to set

forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand

[were] officers and judges:

1CH 23:05 Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four

thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made,

[said David], to praise [therewith].

1CH 23:06 And David divided them into courses among the sons

of Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

1CH 23:07 Of the Gershonites [were], Laadan, and Shimei.

1CH 23:08 The sons of Laadan; the chief [was] Jehiel, and

Zetham, and Joel, three.

1CH 23:09 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran,

three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

1CH 23:10 And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and

Jeush, and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.

1CH 23:11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but

Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one

reckoning, according to [their] father's house.

1CH 23:12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,

four.

1CH 23:13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was

separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and

his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister

unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.

1CH 23:14 Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were

named of the tribe of Levi.

1CH 23:15 The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.

1CH 23:16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel [was] the chief.

1CH 23:17 And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief.

And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were

very many.

1CH 23:18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

1CH 23:19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the

second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

1CH 23:20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah

the second.

1CH 23:21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of

Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

1CH 23:22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters:

and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

1CH 23:23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth,

three.

1CH 23:24 These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of

their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were

counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for

the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty

years and upward.

1CH 23:25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given

rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

1CH 23:26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no [more]

carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service

thereof.

1CH 23:27 For by the last words of David the Levites [were]

numbered from twenty years old and above:

1CH 23:28 Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of

Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts,

and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things,

and the work of the service of the house of God;

1CH 23:29 Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for

meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which

is baked in] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all

manner of measure and size;

1CH 23:30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the

LORD, and likewise at even;

1CH 23:31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in

the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number,

according to the order commanded unto them, continually before

the LORD:

1CH 23:32 And that they should keep the charge of the

tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy

[place], and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in

the service of the house of the LORD.

1CH 24:01 Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron.

The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

1CH 24:02 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and

had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the

priest's office.

1CH 24:03 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons

of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to

their offices in their service.

1CH 24:04 And there were more chief men found of the sons of

Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were they

divided. Among the sons of Eleazar [there were] sixteen chief

men of the house of [their] fathers, and eight among the sons of

Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.

1CH 24:05 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another;

for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the

house] of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of

Ithamar.

1CH 24:06 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, [one]

of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and

Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and

[before] the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites:

one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and [one] taken

for Ithamar.

1CH 24:07 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the

second to Jedaiah,

1CH 24:08 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

1CH 24:09 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

1CH 24:10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

1CH 24:11 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,

1CH 24:12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

1CH 24:13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to

Jeshebeab,

1CH 24:14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,

1CH 24:15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,

1CH 24:16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to

Jehezekel,

1CH 24:17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and

twentieth to Gamul,

1CH 24:18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and

twentieth to Maaziah.

1CH 24:19 These [were] the orderings of them in their service

to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner,

under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had

commanded him.

1CH 24:20 And the rest of the sons of Levi [were these]: Of

the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.

1CH 24:21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the

first [was] Isshiah.

1CH 24:22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of

Shelomoth; Jahath.

1CH 24:23 And the sons [of Hebron]; Jeriah [the first],

Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.

1CH 24:24 [Of] the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of

Michah; Shamir.

1CH 24:25 The brother of Michah [was] Isshiah: of the sons of

Isshiah; Zechariah.

1CH 24:26 The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi: the sons

of Jaaziah; Beno.

1CH 24:27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and

Zaccur, and Ibri.

1CH 24:28 Of Mahli [came] Eleazar, who had no sons.

1CH 24:29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish [was] Jerahmeel.

1CH 24:30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and

Jerimoth. These [were] the sons of the Levites after the house

of their fathers.

1CH 24:31 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren

the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok,

and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and

Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger

brethren.

1CH 25:01 Moreover David and the captains of the host

separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and

of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries,

and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to

their service was:

1CH 25:02 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and

Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of

Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

1CH 25:03 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and

Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the

hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to

give thanks and to praise the LORD.

1CH 25:04 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah,

Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah,

Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, [and]

Mahazioth:

1CH 25:05 All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's seer

in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman

fourteen sons and three daughters.

1CH 25:06 All these [were] under the hands of their father for

song [in] the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and

harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the

king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

1CH 25:07 So the number of them, with their brethren that were

instructed in the songs of the LORD, [even] all that were

cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

1CH 25:08 And they cast lots, ward against [ward], as well the

small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

1CH 25:09 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph:

the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons [were]

brethren, [were] twelve:

1CH 25:20 The thirteenth to Shubael, [he], his sons, and his

brethren, [were] twelve:

1CH 25:21 The fourteenth to Mattithiah, [he], his sons, and

his brethren, [were] twelve:

1CH 25:22 The fifteenth to Jeremoth, [he], his sons, and his

and his brethren, [were] twelve:

1CH 25:31 The four and twentieth to Romamtiezer, [he], his

1CH 26:01 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the

Korhites [was] Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

1CH 26:02 And the sons of Meshelemiah [were], Zechariah the

firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the

fourth,

1CH 26:03 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the

1CH 26:04 Moreover the sons of Obededom [were], Shemaiah the

firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the

fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,

1CH 26:05 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the

eighth: for God blessed him.

1CH 26:06 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that

ruled throughout the house of their father: for they [were]

mighty men of valour.

1CH 26:07 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed,

Elzabad, whose brethren [were] strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.

1CH 26:08 All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their

sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service,

[were] threescore and two of Obededom.

1CH 26:09 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men,

eighteen.

1CH 26:10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons;

Simri the chief, (for [though] he was not the firstborn, yet his

father made him the chief;)

1CH 26:11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah

the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah [were] thirteen.

1CH 26:12 Among these [were] the divisions of the porters,

[even] among the chief men, [having] wards one against another,

to minister in the house of the LORD.

1CH 26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great,

according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

1CH 26:14 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for

Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his

lot came out northward.

1CH 26:15 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of

Asuppim.

1CH 26:16 To Shuppim and Hosah [the lot came forth] westward,

with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward

against ward.

1CH 26:17 Eastward [were] six Levites, northward four a day,

southward four a day, and toward Asuppim two [and] two.

1CH 26:18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, [and] two

1CH 26:19 These [are] the divisions of the porters among the

sons of Kore, and among the sons of Merari.

1CH 26:20 And of the Levites, Ahijah [was] over the treasures

of the house of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated

things.

1CH 26:21 [As concerning] the sons of Laadan; the sons of the

1CH 26:22 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother,

[which were] over the treasures of the house of the LORD.

1CH 26:23 Of the Amramites, [and] the Izharites, the

1CH 26:25 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and

Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and

Shelomith his son.

1CH 26:26 Which Shelomith and his brethren [were] over all the

treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the

chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the

captains of the host, had dedicated.

1CH 26:27 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate

to maintain the house of the LORD.

1CH 26:28 And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of

Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had

dedicated; [and] whosoever had dedicated [any thing, it was]

under the hand of Shelomith, and of his brethren.

1CH 26:29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons [were] for

the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.

1CH 26:30 [And] of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren,

men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, [were] officers

among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the

business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.

1CH 26:31 Among the Hebronites [was] Jerijah the chief, [even]

among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his

fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were

sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour

at Jazer of Gilead.

1CH 26:32 And his brethren, men of valour, [were] two thousand

and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers

over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.

1CH 27:01 Now the children of Israel after their number, [to

wit], the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds,

and their officers that served the king in any matter of the

courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout

all the months of the year, of every course [were] twenty and

four thousand.

1CH 27:02 Over the first course for the first month [was]

his course likewise [were] twenty and four thousand.

1CH 27:05 The third captain of the host for the third month

[was] Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his

course [were] twenty and four thousand.

1CH 27:06 This [is that] Benaiah, [who was] mighty [among] the

thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course [was] Ammizabad

his son.

1CH 27:07 The fourth [captain] for the fourth month [was]

Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and

[were] twenty and four thousand.

1CH 27:12 The ninth [captain] for the ninth month [was]

[were] twenty and four thousand.

1CH 27:13 The tenth [captain] for the tenth month [was]

[were] twenty and four thousand.

1CH 27:14 The eleventh [captain] for the eleventh month [was]

course [were] twenty and four thousand.

1CH 27:15 The twelfth [captain] for the twelfth month [was]

Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course [were]

twenty and four thousand.

1CH 27:16 Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of

the Reubenites [was] Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the

Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah:

1CH 27:17 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the

Aaronites, Zadok:

Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:

1CH 27:19 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali,

Jerimoth the son of Azriel:

1CH 27:20 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of

Azaziah: of the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah:

1CH 27:21 Of the half [tribe] of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the

son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner:

1CH 27:22 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These [were] the

princes of the tribes of Israel.

1CH 27:23 But David took not the number of them from twenty

years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase

Israel like to the stars of the heavens.

1CH 27:24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he

finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel;

neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of

king David.

1CH 27:25 And over the king's treasures [was] Azmaveth the son

of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities,

and in the villages, and in the castles, [was] Jehonathan the

son of Uzziah:

1CH 27:26 And over them that did the work of the field for

tillage of the ground [was] Ezri the son of Chelub:

1CH 27:27 And over the vineyards [was] Shimei the Ramathite:

over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars [was]

Zabdi the Shiphmite:

1CH 27:28 And over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that

[were] in the low plains [was] Baalhanan the Gederite: and over

the cellars of oil [was] Joash:

1CH 27:29 And over the herds that fed in Sharon [was] Shitrai

the Sharonite: and over the herds [that were] in the valleys

[was] Shaphat the son of Adlai:

1CH 27:30 Over the camels also [was] Obil the Ishmaelite: and

over the asses [was] Jehdeiah the Meronothite:

1CH 27:31 And over the flocks [was] Jaziz the Hagerite. All

these [were] the rulers of the substance which [was] king

David's.

1CH 27:32 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise

man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni [was] with the

king's sons:

1CH 27:33 And Ahithophel [was] the king's counsellor: and

Hushai the Archite [was] the king's companion:

1CH 27:34 And after Ahithophel [was] Jehoiada the son of

Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army [was]

Joab.

1CH 28:01 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the

princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that

ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the

thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over

all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons,

with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the

valiant men, unto Jerusalem.

1CH 28:02 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said,

Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in

mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant

of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made

ready for the building:

1CH 28:03 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house

for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast

shed blood.

1CH 28:04 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all

the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he

hath chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah,

the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked

me to make [me] king over all Israel:

1CH 28:05 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many

sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of

the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

1CH 28:06 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build

my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son,

and I will be his father.

1CH 28:07 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if

he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at

this day.

1CH 28:08 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the

congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep

and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye

may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance

for your children after you for ever.

1CH 28:09 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy

father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing

mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all

the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be

found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off

for ever.

1CH 28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to

build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].

1CH 28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of

the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries

thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner

parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

1CH 28:12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of

the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers

round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the

treasuries of the dedicated things:

1CH 28:13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites,

and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD,

and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

1CH 28:14 [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold,

for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for

all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of

every kind of service:

1CH 28:15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and

for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and

for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by

weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for the lamps

thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

1CH 28:16 And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of

showbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables

of silver:

1CH 28:17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls,

and the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight

for every basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin

of silver:

1CH 28:18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight;

and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that

spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of

the LORD.

1CH 28:19 All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand

in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this

pattern.

1CH 28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of

good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the

LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail

thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work

for the service of the house of the LORD.

1CH 28:21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the

Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of

the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner

of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of

service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at

thy commandment.

1CH 29:01 Furthermore David the king said unto all the

congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, [is

yet] young and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace

[is] not for man, but for the LORD God.

1CH 29:02 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house

of my God the gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the

silver for [things] of silver, and the brass for [things] of

brass, the iron for [things] of iron, and wood for [things] of

wood; onyx stones, and [stones] to be set, glistering stones,

and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and

marble stones in abundance.

1CH 29:03 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the

house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and

silver, [which] I have given to the house of my God, over and

above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

1CH 29:04 [Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold

of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to

overlay the walls of the houses [withal]:

1CH 29:05 The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for

[things] of silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by

the hands of artificers. And who [then] is willing to consecrate

his service this day unto the LORD?

1CH 29:06 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the

tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds,

with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,

1CH 29:07 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold

five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten

thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and

one hundred thousand talents of iron.

1CH 29:08 And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave

[them] to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of

Jehiel the Gershonite.

1CH 29:09 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered

willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to

the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

1CH 29:10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the

congregation: and David said, Blessed [be] thou, LORD God of

Israel our father, for ever and ever.

1CH 29:11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power,

and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that

is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the

kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

1CH 29:12 Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou

reignest over all; and in thine hand [is] power and might; and

in thine hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto

all.

1CH 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise

thy glorious name.

1CH 29:14 But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we

should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all

things [come] of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

1CH 29:15 For we [are] strangers before thee, and sojourners,

as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a

shadow, and [there is] none abiding.

1CH 29:16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared

to build thee an house for thine holy name [cometh] of thine

hand, and [is] all thine own.

1CH 29:17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and

hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of

mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now

have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to

offer willingly unto thee.

1CH 29:18 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our

fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts

of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:

1CH 29:19 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to

keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to

do all [these things], and to build the palace, [for] the which

I have made provision.

1CH 29:20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless

the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God

of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the

LORD, and the king.

1CH 29:21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and

offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that

day, [even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a

thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in

abundance for all Israel:

1CH 29:22 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day

with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king

the second time, and anointed [him] unto the LORD [to be] the

chief governor, and Zadok [to be] priest.

1CH 29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king

instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel

obeyed him.

1CH 29:24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the

sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon

the king.

1CH 29:25 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the

sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty

as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

1CH 29:26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

1CH 29:27 And the time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty

years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three

[years] reigned he in Jerusalem.

1CH 29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches,

and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

1CH 29:29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last,

behold, they [are] written in the book of Samuel the seer, and

in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the

seer,

1CH 29:30 With all his reign and his might, and the times that

went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the

countries.
