I CHRONICLES 9:44 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.
I CHRONICLES 10:1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and
the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down
slain in mount Gilboa.
I CHRONICLES 10:2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul,
and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and
Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
I CHRONICLES 10:3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the
archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
I CHRONICLES 10:4 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.
I CHRONICLES 10:5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was
dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
I CHRONICLES 10:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his
house died together.
I CHRONICLES 10:7 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.
I CHRONICLES 10:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 10:9 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.
I CHRONICLES 10:10 And they put his armour in the house of their
gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
I CHRONICLES 10:11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the
Philistines had done to Saul,
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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};
I CHRONICLES 10:14 And inquired not of the Lord: therefore he
slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
I CHRONICLES 11:1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David
unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we {are} thy bone and thy flesh.
I CHRONICLES 11:2 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.
I CHRONICLES 11:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 11:4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem,
which {is} Jebus; where the Jebusites {were}, the inhabitants of
the land.
I CHRONICLES 11:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 11:6 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.
I CHRONICLES 11:7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they
called it the city of David.
I CHRONICLES 11:8 And he built the city round about, even from
Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
I CHRONICLES 11:9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the
Lord of hosts {was} with him.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 11:12 And after him {was} Eleazar the son of Dodo,
the Ahohite, who {was one} of the three mighties.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 11:16 And David {was} then in the hold, and the
Philistines' garrison {was} then at Bethlehem.
I CHRONICLES 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!
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 11:24 These {things} did Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
I CHRONICLES 11:25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty,
but attained not to the {first} three: and David set him over his
guard.
I CHRONICLES 11:26 Also the valiant men of the armies {were},
Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
I CHRONICLES 11:27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,
I CHRONICLES 11:28 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the
Antothite,
I CHRONICLES 11:29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,
I CHRONICLES 11:30 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of
Baanah the Netophathite,
I CHRONICLES 11:31 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, {that
pertained} to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,
I CHRONICLES 11:32 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the
Arbathite,
I CHRONICLES 11:33 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the
Shaalbonite,
I CHRONICLES 11:34 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the
son of Shage the Hararite,
I CHRONICLES 11:35 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal
the son of Ur,
I CHRONICLES 11:36 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,
I CHRONICLES 11:37 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,
I CHRONICLES 11:38 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of
Haggeri,
I CHRONICLES 11:39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the
armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,
I CHRONICLES 11:40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,
I CHRONICLES 11:41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,
I CHRONICLES 11:42 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a
captain of the Reubenites, and thirty with him,
I CHRONICLES 11:43 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the
Mithnite,
I CHRONICLES 11:44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the
sons of Hothan the Aroerite,
I CHRONICLES 11:45 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his
brother, the Tizite,
I CHRONICLES 11:46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and
Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,
I CHRONICLES 11:47 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.
I CHRONICLES 12:1 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.
I CHRONICLES 12:2 {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.
I CHRONICLES 12:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 12:4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among
the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and
Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,
I CHRONICLES 12:5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and
Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
I CHRONICLES 12:6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer,
and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
I CHRONICLES 12:7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham
of Gedor.
I CHRONICLES 12:8 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;
I CHRONICLES 12:9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the
third,
I CHRONICLES 12:10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
I CHRONICLES 12:11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
I CHRONICLES 12:12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
I CHRONICLES 12:13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 12:16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and
Judah to the hold unto David.
I CHRONICLES 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}.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 12:24 The children of Judah that bare shield and
spear {were} six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the
war.
I CHRONICLES 12:25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of
valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
I CHRONICLES 12:26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six
hundred.
I CHRONICLES 12:27 And Jehoiada {was} the leader of the
Aaronites, and with him {were} three thousand and seven hundred;
I CHRONICLES 12:28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and
of his father's house twenty and two captains.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 12:30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand
and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the
house of their fathers.
I CHRONICLES 12:31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen
thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David
king.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 12:34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with
them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.
I CHRONICLES 12:35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and
eight thousand and six hundred.
I CHRONICLES 12:36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle,
expert in war, forty thousand.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 12:39 And there they were with David three days,
eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 13:1 And David consulted with the captains of
thousands and hundreds, {and} with every leader.
I CHRONICLES 13:2 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:
I CHRONICLES 13:3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to
us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
I CHRONICLES 13:4 And all the congregation said that they would
do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
I CHRONICLES 13:5 So David gathered all Israel together, from
Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hamath, to bring the
ark of God from Kirjathjearim.
I CHRONICLES 13:6 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}.
I CHRONICLES 13:7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart
out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
I CHRONICLES 13:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 13:9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of
Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen
stumbled.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 13:11 And David was displeased, because the Lord had
made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza
to this day.
I CHRONICLES 13:12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying,
How shall I bring the ark of God {home} to me?
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 14:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to
David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build
him an house.
I CHRONICLES 14:2 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.
I CHRONICLES 14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and
David begat more sons and daughters.
I CHRONICLES 14:4 Now these {are} the names of {his} children
which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and
Solomon,
I CHRONICLES 14:5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
I CHRONICLES 14:6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
I CHRONICLES 14:7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
I CHRONICLES 14:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 14:9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves
in the valley of Rephaim.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David
gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
I CHRONICLES 14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread
themselves abroad in the valley.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 14:16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and
they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
I CHRONICLES 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands;
and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
I CHRONICLES 15:1 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.
I CHRONICLES 15:2 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.
I CHRONICLES 15:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 15:4 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and
the Levites:
I CHRONICLES 15:5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his
brethren an hundred and twenty:
I CHRONICLES 15:6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and
his brethren two hundred and twenty:
I CHRONICLES 15:7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his
brethren an hundred and thirty:
I CHRONICLES 15:8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief,
and his brethren two hundred:
I CHRONICLES 15:9 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his
brethren fourscore:
I CHRONICLES 15:10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief,
and his brethren an hundred and twelve.
I CHRONICLES 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,
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified
themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to
appoint their brethren {to be} the singers with instruments of
musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up
the voice with joy.
I CHRONICLES 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;
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 15:19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, {were
appointed} to sound with cymbals of brass;
I CHRONICLES 15:20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and
Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with
psalteries on Alamoth;
I CHRONICLES 15:21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah,
and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith
to excel.
I CHRONICLES 15:22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, {was} for
song: he instructed about the song, because he {was} skilful.
I CHRONICLES 15:23 And Berechiah and Elkanah {were} doorkeepers
for the ark.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 16:1 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.
I CHRONICLES 16:2 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.
I CHRONICLES 16:3 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}.
I CHRONICLES 16:4 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:
I CHRONICLES 16:5 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;
I CHRONICLES 16:6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with
trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
I CHRONICLES 16:7 Then on that day David delivered first {this
psalm} to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
I CHRONICLES 16:8 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the people.
I CHRONICLES 16:9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of
all his wondrous works.
I CHRONICLES 16:10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of
them rejoice that seek the Lord.
I CHRONICLES 16:11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face
continually.
I CHRONICLES 16:12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath
done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
I CHRONICLES 16:13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children
of Jacob, his chosen ones.
I CHRONICLES 16:14 He {is} the Lord our God; his judgments {are}
in all the earth.
I CHRONICLES 16:15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word
{which} he commanded to a thousand generations;
I CHRONICLES 16:16 {Even of the covenant} which he made with
Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
I CHRONICLES 16:17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a
law, {and} to Israel {for} an everlasting covenant,
I CHRONICLES 16:18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of
Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
I CHRONICLES 16:19 When ye were but few, even a few, and
strangers in it.
I CHRONICLES 16:20 And {when} they went from nation to nation,
and from {one} kingdom to another people;
I CHRONICLES 16:21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he
reproved kings for their sakes,
I CHRONICLES 16:22 {Saying}, Touch not mine anointed, and do my
prophets no harm.
I CHRONICLES 16:23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth
from day to day his salvation.
I CHRONICLES 16:24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his
marvellous works among all nations.
I CHRONICLES 16:25 For great {is} the Lord, and greatly to be
praised: he also {is} to be feared above all gods.
I CHRONICLES 16:26 For all the gods of the people {are} idols:
but the Lord made the heavens.
I CHRONICLES 16:27 Glory and honour {are} in his presence;
strength and gladness {are} in his place.
I CHRONICLES 16:28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people,
give unto the Lord glory and strength.
I CHRONICLES 16:29 Give unto the Lord the glory {due} unto his
name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in
beauty of holiness.
I CHRONICLES 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also
shall be stable, that it be not moved.
I CHRONICLES 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth
rejoice: and let {men} say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
I CHRONICLES 16:32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let
the fields rejoice, and all that {is} therein.
I CHRONICLES 16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at
the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth.
I CHRONICLES 16:34 O give thanks unto the Lord; for {he is} good;
for his mercy {endureth} for ever.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 16:36 Blessed {be} the Lord God of Israel for ever
And ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord.
I CHRONICLES 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:
I CHRONICLES 16:38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore
and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah {to be}
porters:
I CHRONICLES 16:39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the
priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place was
{at} Gibeon,
I CHRONICLES 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;
I CHRONICLES 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;
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 16:43 And all the people departed every man to his
house: and David returned to bless his house.
I CHRONICLES 17:1 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.
I CHRONICLES 17:2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that {is}
in thine heart; for God {is} with thee.
I CHRONICLES 17:3 And it came to pass the same night, that the
word of God came to Nathan, saying,
I CHRONICLES 17:4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the
Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
I CHRONICLES 17:5 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}.
I CHRONICLES 17:6 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?
I CHRONICLES 17:7 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:
I CHRONICLES 17:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 17:9 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,
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 17:12 He shall build me an house, and I will
stablish his throne for ever.
I CHRONICLES 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:
I CHRONICLES 17:14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my
kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for
evermore.
I CHRONICLES 17:15 According to all these words, and according to
all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
I CHRONICLES 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?
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 17:18 What can David {speak} more to thee for the
honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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?
I CHRONICLES 17:22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine
own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 17:26 And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised
this goodness unto thy servant:
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 18:1 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.
I CHRONICLES 18:2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became
David's servants, {and} brought gifts.
I CHRONICLES 18:3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto
Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river
Euphrates.
I CHRONICLES 18:4 And David took from him a thousand chariots,
and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David
also houghed all the chariot {horses}, but reserved of them an
hundred chariots.
I CHRONICLES 18:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help
Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty
thousand men.
I CHRONICLES 18:6 Then David put {garrisons} in Syriadamascus;
and the Syrians became David's servants, {and} brought gifts.
Thus the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
I CHRONICLES 18:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on
the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
I CHRONICLES 18:8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of
Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made
the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
I CHRONICLES 18:9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had
smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 18:12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of
the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
I CHRONICLES 18:13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the
Edomites became David's servants. Thus the Lord preserved David
whithersoever he went.
I CHRONICLES 18:14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed
judgment and justice among all his people.
I CHRONICLES 18:15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah {was} over the
host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
I CHRONICLES 18:16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the
son of Abiathar, {were} the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 19:1 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the
king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his
stead.
I CHRONICLES 19:2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun
the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And
David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So
the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon
to Hanun, to comfort him.
I CHRONICLES 19:3 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?
I CHRONICLES 19:4 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.
I CHRONICLES 19:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 19:6 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.
I CHRONICLES 19:7 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.
I CHRONICLES 19:8 And when David heard {of it}, he sent Joab, and
all the host of the mighty men.
I CHRONICLES 19:9 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 19:14 So Joab and the people that {were} with him
drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled
before him.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 20:1 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.
I CHRONICLES 20:2 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.
I CHRONICLES 20:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 20:4 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.
I CHRONICLES 20:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 20:6 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.
I CHRONICLES 20:7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of
Shimea David's brother slew him.
I CHRONICLES 20:8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and
they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
I CHRONICLES 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked
David to number Israel.
I CHRONICLES 21:2 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}.
I CHRONICLES 21:3 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?
I CHRONICLES 21:4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against
Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel,
and came to Jerusalem.
I CHRONICLES 21:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 21:6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among
them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
I CHRONICLES 21:7 And God was displeased with this thing;
therefore he smote Israel.
I CHRONICLES 21:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 21:9 And the Lord spake unto Gad, David's seer,
saying,
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 21:11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus
saith the Lord, Choose thee
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 21:14 So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel: and
there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 21:19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which
he spake in the name of the Lord.
I CHRONICLES 21:20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and
his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing
wheat.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 21:25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six
hundred shekels of gold by weight.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 21:27 And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put
up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 22:1 Then David said, This {is} the house of the
Lord God, and this {is} the altar of the burnt offering for
Israel.
I CHRONICLES 22:2 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.
I CHRONICLES 22:3 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;
I CHRONICLES 22:4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the
Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
I CHRONICLES 22:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged
him to build an house for the Lord God of Israel.
I CHRONICLES 22:7 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:
I CHRONICLES 22:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 22:9 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 22:17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel
to help Solomon his son, {saying},
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 23:1 So when David was old and full of days, he made
Solomon his son king over Israel.
I CHRONICLES 23:2 And he gathered together all the princes of
Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
I CHRONICLES 23:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 23:4 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:
I CHRONICLES 23:5 Moreover four thousand {were} porters; and four
thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made,
{said David}, to praise {therewith}.
I CHRONICLES 23:6 And David divided them into courses among the
sons of Levi, {namely}, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
I CHRONICLES 23:7 Of the Gershonites {were}, Laadan, and Shimei.
I CHRONICLES 23:8 The sons of Laadan; the chief {was} Jehiel, and
Zetham, and Joel, three.
I CHRONICLES 23:9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and
Haran, three. These {were} the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
I CHRONICLES 23:10 And the sons of Shimei {were}, Jahath, Zina,
and Jeush, and Beriah. These four {were} the sons of Shimei.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 23:12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and
Uzziel, four.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 23:14 Now {concerning} Moses the man of God, his
sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
I CHRONICLES 23:15 The sons of Moses {were}, Gershom, and
Eliezer.
I CHRONICLES 23:16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel {was} the
chief.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 23:18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
I CHRONICLES 23:20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first and

I CHRONICLES 23:21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons
of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
I CHRONICLES 23:22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but
daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
I CHRONICLES 23:23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and
Jeremoth, three.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 23:25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath
given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for
ever:
I CHRONICLES 23:26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no
{more} carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the
service thereof.
I CHRONICLES 23:27 For by the last words of David the Levites
{were} numbered from twenty years old and above:
I CHRONICLES 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;
I CHRONICLES 23:29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour
for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for {that
which is baked in} the pan, and for that which is fried, and for
all manner of measure and size;
I CHRONICLES 23:30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise
the Lord, and likewise at even:
I CHRONICLES 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:
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 24:1 Now {these are} the divisions of the sons of
Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
I CHRONICLES 24:2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father,
and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the
priest's office.
I CHRONICLES 24:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 24:4 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.
I CHRONICLES 24:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 24:6 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.
I CHRONICLES 24:7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the
second to Jedaiah,
I CHRONICLES 24:8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

commanded him.

I CHRONICLES 24:28 Of Mahli {came} Eleazar, who had no sons.
I CHRONICLES 24:29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish {was}
Jerahmeel.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 25:1 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:

I CHRONICLES 25:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 25:6 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.
I CHRONICLES 25:7 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.
I CHRONICLES 25:8 And they cast lots, ward against {ward}, as

I CHRONICLES 26:13 And they cast lots, as well the small as the

twenty years old and under: because the Lord had said he would
increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
I CHRONICLES 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

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.
I CHRONICLES 28:2 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:
I CHRONICLES 28:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 28:4 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:
I CHRONICLES 28:5 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.
I CHRONICLES 28:6 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.
I CHRONICLES 28:7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever,
if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at
this day.
I CHRONICLES 28:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 28:9 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.
I CHRONICLES 28:10 Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee
to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do {it}.
I CHRONICLES 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,
I CHRONICLES 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:
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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:
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 28:16 And by weight {he gave} gold for the tables of
shewbread, for every table; and {likewise} silver for the tables
of silver:
I CHRONICLES 28:17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the
bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons {he gave gold} by
weight for every bason; and {likewise silver} by weight for every
bason of silver:
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:1 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:2 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:3 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:4 {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}:
I CHRONICLES 29:5 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?
I CHRONICLES 29:6 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,
I CHRONICLES 29:7 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:8 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:9 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and
praise thy glorious name.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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:
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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:
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and
all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto
Solomon the king.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all
Israel.
I CHRONICLES 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.
I CHRONICLES 29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days,
riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
I CHRONICLES 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,
I CHRONICLES 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.
