13:004:028 And they dwelt at Beersheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual,

13:004:029 And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

13:004:030 And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

13:004:031 And at Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusim, and at Bethbirei, and at
           Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

13:004:032 And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen,
           and Ashan, five cities:

13:004:033 And all their villages that were round about the same cities,
           unto Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.

13:004:034 And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah, the son of Amaziah,

13:004:035 And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of Seraiah,

13:004:037 And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of
           Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;

13:004:038 These mentioned by their names were princes in their families:
           and the house of their fathers increased greatly.

13:004:039 And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east
           side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

13:004:040 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.

13:004:041 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 unto this day, and
           dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture there for
           their flocks.

13:004:042 And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred
           men, went to mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah,
           and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

13:004:043 And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped,
           and dwelt there unto this day.

13:005:001 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.

13:005:002 For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the
           chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)

13:005:003 The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were,
           Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

13:005:004 The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his
           son,

13:005:005 Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

13:005:006 Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried
           away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

13:005:007 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of
           their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and
           Zechariah,

13:005:008 And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,
           who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:

13:005:009 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.

13:005:010 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.

13:005:011 And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land
           of Bashan unto Salcah:

13:005:012 Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat
           in Bashan.

13:005:013 And their brethren of the house of their fathers were,
           Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and
           Zia, and Heber, seven.

13:005:014 These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of

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

13:005:015 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of
           their fathers.

13:005:016 And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in
           all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

13:005:017 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham
           king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

13:005:018 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.

13:005:019 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish,
           and Nodab.

13:005:020 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 intreated of them;
           because they put their trust in him.

13:005:021 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.

13:005:022 For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God.
           And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

13:005:023 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the
           land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir,
           and unto mount Hermon.

13:005:024 And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even
           Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and
           Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and
           heads of the house of their fathers.

13:005:025 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and
           went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom
           God destroyed before them.

13:005:026 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of
           Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria,
           and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the
           Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto
           Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this
           day.

13:008:031 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zacher.

13:008:032 And Mikloth begat Shimeah. And these also dwelt with their
           brethren in Jerusalem, over against them.

13:008:033 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat
           Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

13:008:034 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal; and Meribbaal begat
           Micah.

13:008:035 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and
           Ahaz.

13:008:036 And Ahaz begat Jehoadah; and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and
           Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza,

13:008:037 And Moza begat Binea: Rapha was his son, Eleasah his son, Azel
           his son:

13:008:038 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam,
           Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan.
           All these were the sons of Azel.

13:008:039 And the sons of Eshek his brother were, Ulam his firstborn,
           Jehush the second, and Eliphelet the third.

13:008:040 And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour, archers, and
           had many sons, and sons' sons, an hundred and fifty. All these
           are of the sons of Benjamin.

13:009:001 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they
           were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who
           were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.

13:009:002 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in
           their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and
           the Nethinims.

13:009:003 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the
           children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and
           Manasseh;

13:009:004 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri,
           the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.

13:009:005 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.

13:009:006 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six
           hundred and ninety.

13:009:007 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the
           son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,

13:009:008 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the
           son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son
           of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;

13:009:009 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine
           hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chief of the
           fathers in the house of their fathers.

13:009:010 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,

13:009:011 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son
           of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of
           the house of God;

13:009:012 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of
           Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah,
           the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of
           Immer;

13:009:013 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a
           thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for
           the work of the service of the house of God.

13:009:014 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of
           Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

13:009:015 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of
           Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;

13:009:016 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of
           Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah,
           that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.

13:009:017 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and
           Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;

13:009:018 Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were
           porters in the companies of the children of Levi.

13:009:019 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of
           Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the
           Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the
           gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the
           host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.

13:009:020 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in
           time past, and the LORD was with him.

13:009:021 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of
           the tabernacle of the congregation.

13:009:022 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were
           two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy
           in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain
           in their set office.

13:009:023 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of
           the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by
           wards.

13:009:024 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west,
           north, and south.

13:009:025 And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come
           after seven days from time to time with them.

13:009:026 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set
           office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house
           of God.

13:009:027 And they lodged round about the house of God, because the
           charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning
           pertained to them.

13:009:028 And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels,
           that they should bring them in and out by tale.

13:009:029 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and
           all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and
           the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

13:009:030 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the
           spices.

13:009:031 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.

13:009:032 And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites,
           were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.

13:009:033 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.

13:009:034 These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their
           generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.

13:009:035 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's
           name was Maachah:

13:009:036 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and
           Ner, and Nadab.

13:009:037 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.

13:009:038 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their
           brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.

13:009:039 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat
           Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

13:009:040 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat
           Micah.

13:009:041 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea,
           and Ahaz.

13:009:042 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth,
           and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;

13:009:043 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son,
           Azel his son.

13:009:044 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.

13:010:001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of
           Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain
           in mount Gilboa.

13:010:002 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his
           sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and
           Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

13:010:003 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit
           him, and he was wounded of the archers.

13:010:004 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.

13:010:005 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
           likewise on the sword, and died.

13:010:006 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died
           together.

13:010:007 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.

13:010:008 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.

13:010:009 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.

13:010:010 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and
           fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

13:010:011 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had
           done to Saul,

13:010:012 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.

13:010:013 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 enquire of it;

13:010:014 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and
           turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

13:011:001 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron,
           saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

13:011:002 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.

13:011:003 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.

13:011:004 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus;
           where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

13:011:005 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.

13:011:006 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.

13:011:007 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the
           city of David.

13:011:008 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round
           about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

13:011:009 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was
           with him.

13:011:010 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.

13:011:011 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.

13:011:012 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who
           was one of the three mighties.

13:011:013 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.

13:011:014 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.

13:011:015 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.

13:011:016 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison
           was then at Bethlehem.

13:011:017 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!

13:011:018 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.

13:011:019 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.

13:011:020 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.

13:011:021 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was
           their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.

13:011:022 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.

13:011:023 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.

13:011:024 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name
           among the three mighties.

13:011:025 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not
           to the first three: and David set him over his guard.

13:011:026 Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of
           Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

13:011:027 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

13:011:028 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite,

13:011:029 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

13:011:030 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the
           Netophathite,

13:011:031 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the
           children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

13:011:032 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,

13:011:033 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,

13:011:034 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the
           Hararite,

13:011:035 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur,

13:011:036 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,

13:011:037 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,

13:011:038 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri,

13:011:039 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of
           Joab the son of Zeruiah,

13:011:040 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

13:011:041 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,

13:011:042 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the
           Reubenites, and thirty with him,

13:011:043 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,

13:011:044 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan
           the Aroerite,

13:011:045 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,

13:011:046 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of
           Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,

13:011:047 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.

13:012:001 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.

13:012:002 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.

13:012:003 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.

13:012:004 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and
           over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and
           Josabad the Gederathite,

13:012:005 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and
           Shephatiah the Haruphite,

13:012:006 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam,
           the Korhites,

13:012:007 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

13:012:008 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;

13:012:009 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

13:012:010 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

13:012:011 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

13:012:012 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13:012:013 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

13:012:014 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.

13:012:015 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.

13:012:016 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the
           hold unto David.

13:012:017 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.

13:012:018 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.

13:012:019 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.

13:012:020 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.

13:012:021 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they
           were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.

13:012:022 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.

13:012:023 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.

13:012:024 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six
           thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

13:012:025 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war,
           seven thousand and one hundred.

13:012:026 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

13:012:027 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him
           were three thousand and seven hundred;

13:012:028 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's
           house twenty and two captains.

13:012:029 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.

13:012:030 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight
           hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of
           their fathers.

13:012:031 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which
           were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

13:012:032 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.

13:012:033 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.

13:012:034 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield
           and spear thirty and seven thousand.

13:012:035 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and
           six hundred.

13:012:036 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war,
           forty thousand.

13:012:037 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.

13:012:038 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.

13:012:039 And there they were with David three days, eating and
           drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

13:012:040 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.

13:013:001 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and
           hundreds, and with every leader.

13:013:002 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:

13:013:003 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we
           enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

13:013:004 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the
           thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

13:013:005 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt
           even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from
           Kirjathjearim.

13:013:006 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.

13:013:007 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house
           of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

13:013:008 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.

13:013:009 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put
           forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

13:013:010 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.

13:013:011 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach
           upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this
           day.

13:013:012 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I
           bring the ark of God home to me?

13:013:013 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.

13:013:014 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.

13:014:001 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of
           cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

13:014:002 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.

13:014:003 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more
           sons and daughters.

13:014:004 Now these are the names of his children which he had in
           Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

13:014:005 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

13:014:006 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

13:014:007 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

13:014:008 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.

13:014:009 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley
           of Rephaim.

13:014:010 And David enquired 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.

13:014:011 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.

13:014:012 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a
           commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13:014:013 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the
           valley.

13:014:014 Therefore David enquired 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.

13:014:015 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.

13:014:016 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the
           host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

13:014:017 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD
           brought the fear of him upon all nations.

13:015:001 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.

13:015:002 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.

13:015:003 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.

13:015:004 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

13:015:005 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an
           hundred and twenty:

13:015:006 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two
           hundred and twenty:

13:015:007 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief and his brethren an
           hundred and thirty:

13:015:008 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren
           two hundred:

13:015:009 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren
           fourscore:

13:015:010 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren
           an hundred and twelve.

13:015:011 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for
           the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel,
           and Amminadab,

13:015:012 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.

13:015:013 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.

13:015:014 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring
           up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

13:015:015 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.

13:015:016 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.

13:015:017 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;

13:015:018 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.

13:015:019 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to
           sound with cymbals of brass;

13:015:020 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and
           Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on
           Alamoth;

13:015:021 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and
           Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

13:015:022 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he
           instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

13:015:023 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

13:015:024 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.

13:015:025 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.

13:015:026 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.

13:015:027 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.

13:015:028 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.

13:015:029 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.

13:016:001 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.

13:016:002 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.

13:016:003 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.

13:016:004 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:

13:016:005 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;

13:016:006 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets
           continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

13:016:007 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the
           LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

13:016:008 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his
           deeds among the people.

13:016:009 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his
           wondrous works.

13:016:010 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that
           seek the LORD.

13:016:011 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

13:016:012 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders,
           and the judgments of his mouth;

13:016:013 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his
           chosen ones.

13:016:014 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

13:016:015 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he
           commanded to a thousand generations;

13:016:016 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his
           oath unto Isaac;

13:016:017 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel
           for an everlasting covenant,

13:016:018 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of
           your inheritance;

13:016:019 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

13:016:020 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom
           to another people;

13:016:021 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings
           for their sakes,

13:016:022 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

13:016:023 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day
           his salvation.

13:016:024 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works
           among all nations.

13:016:025 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is
           to be feared above all gods.

13:016:026 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made
           the heavens.

13:016:027 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness
           are in his place.

13:016:028 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the
           LORD glory and strength.

13:016:029 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.

13:016:030 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be
           stable, that it be not moved.

13:016:031 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let
           men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

13:016:032 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields
           rejoice, and all that is therein.

13:016:033 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of
           the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

13:016:034 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy
           endureth for ever.

13:016:035 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.

13:016:036 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all
           the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

13:016:037 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:

13:016:038 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight;
           Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:

13:016:039 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the
           tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

13:016:040 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;

13:016:041 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;

13:016:042 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.

13:016:043 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David
           returned to bless his house.

13:017:001 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.

13:017:002 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart;
           for God is with thee.

13:017:003 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came
           to Nathan, saying,

13:017:004 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt
           not build me an house to dwell in:

13:017:005 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.

13:017:006 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?

13:017:007 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:

13:017:008 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.

13:017:009 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,

13:017:010 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.

13:017:011 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.

13:017:012 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for
           ever.

13:017:013 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:

13:017:014 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for
           ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

13:017:015 According to all these words, and according to all this
           vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

13:017:016 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?

13:017:017 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.

13:017:018 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy
           servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

13:017:019 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.

13:017:020 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God
           beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our
           ears.

13:017:021 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?

13:017:022 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for
           ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

13:017:023 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.

13:017:024 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.

13:017:025 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.

13:017:026 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness
           unto thy servant:

13:017:027 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.

13:018:001 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.

13:018:002 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants,
           and brought gifts.

13:018:003 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he
           went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

13:018:004 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.

13:018:005 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king
           of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand
           men.

13:018:006 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians
           became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD
           preserved David whithersoever he went.

13:018:007 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants
           of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

13:018:008 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.

13:018:009 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all
           the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

13:018:010 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire 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.

13:018:011 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.

13:018:012 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in
           the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

13:018:013 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became
           David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever
           he went.

13:018:014 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and
           justice among all his people.

13:018:015 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat
           the son of Ahilud, recorder.

13:018:016 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of
           Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

13:018:017 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and
           the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the
           king.

13:019:001 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the
           children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

13:019:002 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.

13:019:003 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?

13:019:004 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.

13:019:005 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.

13:019:006 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.

13:019:007 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.

13:019:008 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of
           the mighty men.

13:019:009 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.

13:019:010 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.

13:019:011 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.

13:019:012 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.

13:019:013 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.

13:019:014 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the
           Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

13:019:015 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.

13:019:016 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.

13:019:017 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.

13:019:018 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.

13:019:019 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.

13:020:001 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.

13:020:002 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.

13:020:003 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.

13:020:004 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.

13:020:005 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.

13:020:006 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.

13:020:007 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's
           brother slew him.

13:020:008 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the
           hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

13:021:001 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to
           number Israel.

13:021:002 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.

13:021:003 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?

13:021:004 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore
           Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to
           Jerusalem.

13:021:005 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.

13:021:006 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the
           king's word was abominable to Joab.

13:021:007 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote
           Israel.

13:021:008 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.

13:021:009 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

13:021:010 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.

13:021:011 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD,
           Choose thee

13:021:012 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.

13:021:013 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.

13:021:014 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of
           Israel seventy thousand men.

13:021:015 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.

13:021:016 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.

13:021:017 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.

13:021:018 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.

13:021:019 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the
           name of the LORD.

13:021:020 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons
           with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

13:021:021 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.

13:021:022 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.

13:021:023 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.

13:021:024 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.

13:021:025 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of
           gold by weight.

13:021:026 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.

13:021:027 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword
           again into the sheath thereof.

13:021:028 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in
           the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed
           there.

13:021:029 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.

13:021:030 But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was
           afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

13:022:001 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this
           is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

13:022:002 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.

13:022:003 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;

13:022:004 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of
           Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

13:022:005 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.

13:022:006 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build
           an house for the LORD God of Israel.

13:022:007 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:

13:022:008 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.

13:022:009 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.

13:022:010 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.

13:022:011 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.

13:022:012 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.

13:022:013 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.

13:022:014 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.

13:022:015 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.

13:022:016 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.

13:022:017 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon
           his son, saying,

13:022:018 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.

13:022:019 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.

13:023:001 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his
           son king over Israel.

13:023:002 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the
           priests and the Levites.

13:023:003 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.

13:023:004 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:

13:023:005 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised
           the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to
           praise therewith.

13:023:006 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,
           namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

13:023:007 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

13:023:008 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and
           Joel, three.

13:023:009 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three.
           These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

13:023:010 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and
           Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

13:023:011 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.

13:023:012 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

13:023:013 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.

13:023:014 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of
           the tribe of Levi.

13:023:015 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

13:023:016 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

13:023:017 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer
           had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

13:023:018 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

13:023:019 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,
           Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

13:023:020 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.

13:023:021 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli;
           Eleazar, and Kish.

13:023:022 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their
           brethren the sons of Kish took them.

13:023:023 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

13:023:024 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.

13:023:025 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto
           his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

13:023:026 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the
           tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

13:023:027 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from
           twenty years old and above:

13:023:028 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;

13:023:029 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;

13:023:030 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and
           likewise at even:

13:023:031 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:

13:023:032 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.

13:024:001 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of
           Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

13:024:002 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no
           children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's
           office.

13:024:003 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.

13:024:004 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.

13:024:005 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.

13:024:006 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.

13:024:007 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to
           Jedaiah,

13:024:008 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

13:024:009 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

13:024:010 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

13:024:011 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,

13:024:012 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

13:024:013 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

13:024:014 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,

13:024:015 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,

13:024:016 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,

13:024:017 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to
           Gamul,

13:024:018 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to
           Maaziah.

13:024:019 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.

13:024:020 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of
           Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.

13:024:021 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was
           Isshiah.

13:024:022 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.

13:024:023 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,
           Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.

13:024:024 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.

13:024:025 The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah;
           Zechariah.

13:024:026 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah;
           Beno.

13:024:027 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur,
           and Ibri.

13:024:028 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.

13:024:029 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.

13:024:030 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These
           were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.

13:024:031 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.

13:025:001 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:

13:025:002 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.

13:025:003 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.

13:025:004 Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel,
           Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti,
           and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and
           Mahazioth:

13:025:005 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.

13:025:006 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.

13:025:007 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.

13:025:008 And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as
           the great, the teacher as the scholar.

13:025:009 Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second
           to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve:

13:025:010 The third to Zaccur, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:011 The fourth to Izri, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:012 The fifth to Nethaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:013 The sixth to Bukkiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:014 The seventh to Jesharelah, he, his sons, and his brethren,
           were twelve:

13:025:015 The eighth to Jeshaiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:016 The ninth to Mattaniah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:017 The tenth to Shimei, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:018 The eleventh to Azareel, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:019 The twelfth to Hashabiah, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:020 The thirteenth to Shubael, he, his sons, and his brethren,
           were twelve:

13:025:021 The fourteenth to Mattithiah, he, his sons, and his brethren,
           were twelve:

13:025:022 The fifteenth to Jeremoth, he, his sons, and his brethren,
           were twelve:

13:025:023 The sixteenth to Hananiah, he, his sons, and his brethren,
           were twelve:

13:025:024 The seventeenth to Joshbekashah, he, his sons, and his
           brethren, were twelve:

13:025:025 The eighteenth to Hanani, he, his sons, and his brethren, were
           twelve:

13:025:026 The nineteenth to Mallothi, he, his sons, and his brethren,
           were twelve:

13:025:027 The twentieth to Eliathah, he, his sons, and his brethren,
           were twelve:

13:025:028 The one and twentieth to Hothir, he, his sons, and his
           brethren, were twelve:

13:025:029 The two and twentieth to Giddalti, he, his sons, and his
           brethren, were twelve:

13:025:030 The three and twentieth to Mahazioth, he, his sons, and his
           brethren, were twelve:

13:025:031 The four and twentieth to Romamtiezer, he, his sons, and his
           brethren, were twelve.

13:026:001 Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korhites was
           Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

13:026:002 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, Zechariah the firstborn,
           Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

13:026:003 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Elioenai the seventh.

13:026:004 Moreover the sons of Obededom were, Shemaiah the firstborn,
           Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth,
           and Nethaneel the fifth.

13:026:005 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth:
           for God blessed him.

13:026:006 Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled
           throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men
           of valour.

13:026:007 The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad,
           whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.

13:026:008 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.

13:026:009 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.

13:026:010 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;)

13:026:011 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth:
           all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.

13:026:012 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.

13:026:013 And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according
           to the house of their fathers, for every gate.

13:026:014 And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his
           son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out
           northward.

13:026:015 To Obededom southward; and to his sons the house of Asuppim.

13:026:016 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came forth westward, with the
           gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward
           against ward.

13:026:017 Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward
           four a day, and toward Asuppim two and two.

13:026:018 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.

13:026:019 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore,
           and among the sons of Merari.

13:026:020 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the house
           of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.

13:026:021 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of the Gershonite
           Laadan, chief fathers, even of Laadan the Gershonite, were
           Jehieli.

13:026:022 The sons of Jehieli; Zetham, and Joel his brother, which were
           over the treasures of the house of the LORD.

13:026:023 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the
           Uzzielites:

13:026:024 And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of
           the treasures.

13:026:025 And his brethren by Eliezer; Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah
           his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith
           his son.

13:026:026 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.

13:026:027 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain
           the house of the LORD.

13:026:028 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.

13:026:029 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward
           business over Israel, for officers and judges.

13:026:030 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.

13:026:031 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.

13:026:032 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.

13:027:001 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.

13:027:002 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the
           son of Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four
           thousand.

13:027:003 Of the children of Perez was the chief of all the captains of
           the host for the first month.

13:027:004 And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite,
           and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course
           likewise were twenty and four thousand.

13:027:005 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.

13:027:006 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and
           above the thirty: and in his course was Ammizabad his son.

13:027:007 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother
           of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in his course
           were twenty and four thousand.

13:027:008 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the
           Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.

13:027:009 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of
           Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were twenty and four
           thousand.

13:027:010 The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the
           Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were
           twenty and four thousand.

13:027:011 The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the
           Hushathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and
           four thousand.

13:027:012 The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the
           Anetothite, of the Benjamites: and in his course were twenty
           and four thousand.

13:027:013 The tenth captain for the tenth month was Maharai the
           Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty
           and four thousand.

13:027:014 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the
           Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course
           were twenty and four thousand.

13:027:015 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the
           Netophathite, of Othniel: and in his course were twenty and
           four thousand.

13:027:016 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:

13:027:017 Of the Levites, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites,
           Zadok:

13:027:018 Of Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David: of Issachar,
           Omri the son of Michael:

13:027:019 Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth
           the son of Azriel:

13:027:020 Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the
           half tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah:

13:027:021 Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of
           Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner:

13:027:022 Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of
           the tribes of Israel.

13:027:023 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.

13:027:024 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.

13:027:025 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:

13:027:026 And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of
           the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:

13:027:027 And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the
           increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the
           Shiphmite:

13:027:028 And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in
           the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the
           cellars of oil was Joash:

13:027:029 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:

13:027:030 Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the
           asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:

13:027:031 And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the
           rulers of the substance which was king David's.

13:027:032 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:

13:027:033 And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the
           Archite was the king's companion:

13:027:034 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and
           Abiathar: and the general of the king's army was Joab.

13:028:001 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.

13:028:002 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:

13:028:003 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.

13:028:004 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:

13:028:005 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.

13:028:006 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.

13:028:007 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be
           constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this
           day.

13:028:008 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.

13:028:009 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.

13:028:010 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house
           for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

13:028:011 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,

13:028:012 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:

13:028:013 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.

13:028:014 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:

13:028:015 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.

13:028:016 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for
           every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:

13:028:017 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:

13:028:018 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.

13:028:019 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing
           by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.

13:028:020 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.

13:028:021 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.

13:029:001 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.

13:029:002 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.

13:029:003 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.

13:029:004 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:

13:029:005 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?

13:029:006 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,

13:029:007 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.

13:029:008 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.

13:029:009 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.

13:029:010 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.

13:029:011 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.

13:029:012 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.

13:029:013 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious
           name.

13:029:014 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.

13:029:015 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.

13:029:016 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.

13:029:017 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.

13:029:018 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:

13:029:019 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.

13:029:020 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.

13:029:021 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:

13:029:022 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.

13:029:023 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of
           David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

13:029:024 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons
           likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the
           king.

13:029:025 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.

13:029:026 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

13:029:027 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.

13:029:028 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and
           honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

13:029:029 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,

13:029:030 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.
