12.21 As he went to Ziklag, there fell upon him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Yozabad, and Yediaal, and Michaal, and Yozabad, and Alihu, and Zaltai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.

12.22 And they helped David with the band, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army.

12.23 For day by day they came to David to help him, until a great host, like the host of Alhym,

12.24 And these are the numbers of the chief of the army, which came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of YHVH.

12.25 The children of Yudah, that bare shiald and spear, were six thousand and eight hundred, ready to fight.

12.26 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valor for the army, seven thousand and one hundred.

12.27 Of the sons of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

12.28 And Yehoiada the chief of Aaron, and with him three thousand and seven hundred.

12.29 And Zadok was a young man of valor, and his father's house was twenty-two singers.

12.30 And of the children of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand, and most of them kept the watch of the house of Saul.

12.31 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred mighty men of valor, men of Sheth, according to the house of their fathers.

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

12.33 And of the children of Issachar, there were men of understanding, to know what Israal should do, heads of them two hundred, and all their brethren according to them.

12.34 From Zabulon, fifty thousand men of war, fit for war, with all weapons of war, and a multitude without heart and mind.

12.35 And of Manphtali a thousand captains, and with them thirty and seven thousand with spears and spears.

12.36 And of the Danites, mighty men of valor, twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.

12.37 And of the army, numbering forty thousand,

12.38 And on the other side Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war, an hundred and twenty thousand.

12.39 All these were men of war, men of war, with a perfect heart, who came to Hebron to make David king over all Israal. and all the congregation of Israal also were of one heart to make David king.

12.40 And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them.

12.41 And those who are near them, even as far as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, bring bread on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen, food, fine flour, raisins, wine, oil, and cattle and sheep in abundance, for there is joy in Israal.

13.1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to every governor.

13.2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israal, If it be well with you, and if there be a breach from YHVH our Alhym, let us send it unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israal, and with them the priests and the Levites in the cities of their possessions, and let them gather themselves together unto us.

13.3 And he brought back the ark of our Alhym to us, for we sought it not in the days of Saul.

13.4 And all the congregation said that they would do so. for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

13.5 And David gathered all Israal together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring the ark of Alhym from Kirjath-jearim.

13.6 Then David and all Israal with him went up to Kiriath Yearim, which belongs to Yudah, to bring up from there the ark of Alhym, YHVH who dwells between the cherubim, whose name is called there.

13.7 And they set the ark of Alhym upon a new cart of the house of Avinadab, and Uzzah his brethren drave the cart.

13.8 And David and all Israal played before Alhym with all kinds of music, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

13.9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Kidan, Uzzah put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen stumbled.

13.10 And the anger of YHVH was kindled against Baasha, and he smote him, because he put his hand upon the ark. and he died there before Alhym.

13.11 And David was displeased because YHVH had made a breach upon the land of Uzzah. and he called that place Perez-Uzzah unto this day.

13.12 And David feared Alhym that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of Alhym to me?

13.13 So David did not remove the ark to himself into the city of David, but it was taken to the house of Obed Adam the Gittite.

13.14 And the ark of Alhym remained with the house of Servant Adam in his house three months. and YHVH blessed the house of Servant Adam, and all that he had.

14.1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

14.2 And David knew that YHVH had established him king over Israal, for he had exalted his kingdom on high for the sake of his people Israal.

14.3 And David took more wives in Yerusalom. and David begat more sons and daughters.

14.4 And these are the names of the children born to him in Yerusalom. Shemua, and Shevab, and Nathan, and Solomon.

14.5 And he chose Alisha and Alphelet.

14.6 And he went up, and he went down, and he went down.

14.7 And Alishama, and Aliada, and Aliphelet,

14.8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israal, all the Philistines went up to seek David. and David heard of it, and went out against them.

14.9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

14.10 And David inquired of Alhym, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and shall they deliver me into thine hand? And YHVH said unto him, Go up, for I will deliver them into thine hand.

14.11 And they came up to Baalperazim, and David smote them there. And David said, Alhym hath broken forth mine enemies into mine hand, as the breaking forth of waters. therefore the name of that place was called Baalperazim.

14.12 And they left their gods there, and David said, "And they burned them with fire."

14.13 And the Philistines came again, and spread themselves in the valley.

14.14 And David inquired yet again of Alhym, and Alhym said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them. turn thy face from them, and come unto them from before the weeping of the people.

14.15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching at the head of the men that are crying, then thou shalt go out to battle. for Alhym is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

14.16 And David did as Alhym commanded him, and smote the host of the Philistines from Geba even to Gezer.

14.17 And David went out from there into all lands, and YHVH put the fear of him upon all nations.

15.1 And he made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of Alhym, and pitched for it a tent.

15.2 Then David said, Let not the ark of Alhym be carried, but the Levites. for of them hath YHVH chosen to carry the ark of YHVH, and to minister unto him for ever.

15.3 Then David assembled all Israal at Yerusalom to bring up the ark of YHVH to its place, which he had prepared for it.

15.4 And David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites,

15.5 Of the sons of Kohath; Urial the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty.

15.6 Of the sons of Merari; Asahiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty.

15.7 Of the sons of Gershom; Yoal the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty.

15.8 Of the sons of Alizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred.

15.9 Of the sons of Hebron, Alial the chief, and his brethren eighty;

15.10 Of the sons of Uzzial; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.

15.11 And David called for Zadok and Aviathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Urial, Asahiah, and Yoal, Shemaiah, and Alial, and Aminadab.

15.12 And he 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 YHVH Alhym of Israal unto the place which I have prepared for it.

15.13 For it was not with you that YHVH our Alhym made a breach upon us at the first, because we sought him not after the judgment.

15.14 And the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of YHVH Alhym of Israal.

15.15 And the sons of Levi carried the ark of Alhym upon their shoulders, with the staves upon them, as Moses commanded according to the word of YHVH.

15.16 And David spake unto the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers with instruments of musick, harps, and cymbals, sounding with a loud voice for joy.

15.17 And the Levites appointed Heman the son of Yoal; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari, their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushiah.

15.18 And with them their brethren the second, Zechariah the son of Yazial, and Miriam, and Yehial, and Ani, Aliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Alipheleh, and Mcnaiah, and Ebed-Adam, and Yeial, the gatekeepers.

15.19 And the singers Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of brass to sound,

15.20 And Zechariah, and Uzzial, and Sheremoth, and Yehial, and Ani, and Aliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with the harps of the daughters of Almath.

15.21 And Mattithiah, and Alipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Ebed-Adam, and Yeial, and Uzziah, in Chinneroth, on the eighth day for ever.

15.22 And Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was responsible for the burden, for he understood.

15.23 And Barachiah and Alkanah, gates to the ark

15.24 And Shebaniah, and Yoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amsai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Aliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of Alhym. and Abba Adam and Hivraim kept the doors of the ark.

15.25 And David, and the elders of Israal, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of YHVH out of the house of Servant Adam with joy.

15.26 And it came to pass, that Alhym helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of YHVH, and they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.

15.27 And David was clothed with a coat of mud, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and the Kenaniah the chief of the singers, and David with a linen ephod.

15.28 And all Israal brought up the ark of the covenant of YHVH with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a sound with harps and lyres.

15.29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of YHVH came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at a window, and saw king David dancing and playing. and she despised him in her heart.

16.1 And they brought in the ark of Alhym, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it. and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Alhym.

16.2 And David made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, and blessed the people in the name of YHVH.

16.3 And he distributed to every man of Israal, both man and woman, to every man a loaf of bread, and a sheaf, and a sheaf of sheaves.

16.4 And he appointed before the ark of YHVH some of the Levites to minister, to remember, and to give thanks, and to praise YHVH Alhym of Israal.

16.5 The chief assembled, and next to him Zechariah, Yeial, and Miriam, and Yehial, and Mattithiah, and Aliab, and Benaiah, and Ebed-Adam, and Yeial, with harps and cymbals, and Asaph with cymbals to sound.

16.6 And Benaiah and Yahazial the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of Alhym.

16.7 On that day David delivered the praises of YHVH into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

16.8 Give thanks to YHVH, call on his name, declare his deeds among the peoples.

16.9 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him, speak unto him of all his wondrous works.

16.10 Glory in his holy name. let the heart of them that seek YHVH rejoice.

16.11 Seek YHVH and be strong, seek his face continually.

16.12 Remember his wonders which he hath done, his judgments, and the judgments of his mouth.

16.13 The seed of Israal served, the children of Yacob, his chosen ones.

16.14 He is YHVH our Alhym, his judgments are in all the earth.

16.15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

16.16 Who made a covenant with Avraham, and his oath to Isaac,

16.17 And he established it for Yacob as a law, for Israal as an everlasting covenant.

16.18 Saying, I will give unto thee the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.

16.19 Since you are almost numbered and live in it,

16.20 And they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.

16.21 He suffered no man to oppress them, and rebuked kings against them.

16.22 Touch not my anointed, and do not harm my prophets.

16.23 Sing to YHVH, all the earth, his flesh, his salvation from day to day.

16.24 Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

16.25 For great is YHVH, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods.

16.26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but YHVH of heaven made them.

16.27 Majesty and splendor are before him, strength and glory are in his place.

16.28 Give to YHVH, you families of the peoples, give to YHVH glory and strength.

16.29 Bring to YHVH the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him; worship YHVH in the splendor of holiness.

16.30 The whole earth trembles before him, even the world is established, it will not be moved.

16.31 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice. and let them say among the nations, YHVH reigneth.

16.32 The sea will roar, and the fullness of it will cause the fiald to tremble, and all that is in it.

16.33 Then the trees of the forest sang together before YHVH, for he comes to judge the earth.

16.34 Give thanks to YHVH, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

16.35 And they said, Save us, O Alhym, save us, and gather us, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks unto thy holy name, and to glory in thy praise.

16.36 Blessed be YHVH Alhym of Israal from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praise YHVH.

16.37 And he left there before the ark of the covenant of YHVH Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, to speak daily.

16.38 And Abadam, and their brethren, threescore and eight, and Abadam the son of Dodoni, and Hasa, over the gates.

16.39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of YHVH, in the high place that was at Gibeon.

16.40 To offer burnt offerings to YHVH on the altar of burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and according to all that is written in the law of YHVH, which he commanded Israal.

16.41 And with them Heman, and Yeduthun, and the rest of the mighty men, who were expressed by name, to give thanks unto YHVH. for his mercy endureth for ever.

16.42 And with them Heman and Yeduthun with trumpets and cymbals to sound, and with instruments of music for Alhym. and the sons of Yeduthun with the gate.

16.43 And all the people departed every man to his house. and David returned to bless his house.

17.1 And it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said unto Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of YHVH is under curtains.

17.2 And Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart. for Alhym is with thee.

17.3 And it came to pass that night, that the word of Alhym came unto Nathan, saying,

17.4 Go and tell my servant David, Thus says YHVH. You shall not build me a house to dwell in.

17.5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israal unto this day, and have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

17.6 Wherever I went throughout all Israal, I spoke to each of the judges of Israal, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, "Why have you not built me ​​a house of cedar?"

17.7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith YHVH of hosts, I took thee from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people Israal.

17.8 And I will be with you wherever you go, and I will cut off all your enemies from before you, and I will make for you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

17.9 And I will appoint a place for my people Israal, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and they shall be moved no more, neither shall their children cause them to wander any more, as at the first.

17.10 And from the days that I commanded you to judge my people Israal, and that I would subdue all your enemies, and I would build you a house, and YHVH will build you a house.

17.11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons, and will establish his kingdom.

17.12 He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

17.13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. and my mercy will I not take away from him, as I took away that which was before thee.

17.14 And I will set him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever. and his throne shall be established for ever.

17.15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spake unto David.

17.16 Then King David came and sat before YHVH, and said, Who am I, O YHVH Alhym? and what is my house, that you have brought me so far?

17.17 And this was a small thing in thy sight, O Alhym, and thou hast spoken concerning thy servant's house afar off. and thou hast seen me as the shadow of a man that is exalted, O YHVH Alhym.

17.18 What more can David do to you in honor of your servant, since you know your servant?

17.19 O YHVH, for the sake of your servant and your dog you have done all this greatness, to make known all your greatness.

17.20 O YHVH, there is none like thee, neither is there any Alhym beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

17.21 And what nation is like your people Israal in the land, whom Alhym went to redeem as a people for himself, to make for himself a name for himself, great and glorious, to drive out before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt, nations?

17.22 And you gave your people Israal to be your people forever, and you, O YHVH, were their Alhym.

17.23 And now, O YHVH, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and his house shall be established forever, and you shall do as you have spoken.

17.24 And it shall be established, and thy name shall be magnified for ever, saying, YHVH of hosts, the Alhym of Israal, is a Alhym to Israal. and the house of David thy servant shall be established before thee.

17.25 For you, O Alhym, have revealed to your servant to build him a house; therefore your servant has found it to pray before you.

17.26 And now, O YHVH, you are Alhym, and have spoken this goodness concerning your servant.

17.27 And now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever. for thou, O YHVH, hast blessed, and will bless for ever.

18.1 And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

18.2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, bringing presents.

18.3 And David smote Hadadezer king of Zobah, Hamath, as he went to set his hand at the river Euphrates.

18.4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. and David took away all the chariots, and more than an hundred chariots.

18.5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah. and David slew of the Syrians twenty and two thousand men.

18.6 And David put Damascus in Syria. and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. and YHVH saved David whithersoever he went.

18.7 And David took the shialds of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Yerusalom.

18.8 And David took from the cities of Hadadezer a great quantity of brass, with which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

18.9 And Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer king of Zobah.

18.10 And he sent Dorcas his son to king David, to ask his peace, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smote him. for Hadadezer was a man of war with many wars. and he took away all vessels of gold, and of silver, and of brass.

18.11 King David also dedicated them to YHVH, along with the silver and gold he had brought from all the nations, from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.

18.12 And Avishai the son of Zeruiah smote of Edom in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

18.13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all Edom became David's servants. and YHVH saved David whithersoever he went.

18.14 And David reigned over all Israal, and executed judgment and justice unto all his people.

18.15 And Yoab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, and Yehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.

18.16 And Zadok the son of Ahithophel, and Avimelech the son of Aviathar, priests, and Shusha the scribe.

18.17 And Benaiah the son of Yehoiada was over the chief priests and the elders of David, who were with the king.

19.1 And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

19.2 And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness unto my people. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. and David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

19.3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun, Dost thou honour David thy father in thine eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? Are not his servants come unto thee to search, and to return, and to walk over the land?

19.4 And Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their foreskins in the middle, even to the buttocks, and sent them away.

19.5 And they went and told David concerning the men. and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Return ye to your homes until your old age be grown, and ye shall return.

19.6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious unto David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of the Aram of Naharaim, and out of the Aram of Maacah, and out of the Aram of Mitsuba.

19.7 And they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, and they came and encamped before Medeba. and the children of Ammon were gathered out of their cities, and came to battle.

19.8 And when David heard of it, he sent Yoab and all the army of the mighty men.

19.9 And the children of Ammon came out, and set the battle in array before the city. and the kings that were come alone were in the fiald.

19.10 And Yoab saw that the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose of all the chosen men of Israal, and put them in array against Syria.

19.11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Avishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

19.12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt be an deliverer unto me. but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will deliver thee.

19.13 Be strong and let us be courageous for our people and for the cities of our Alhym. And YHVH will do what is good in his sight.

19.14 And Yoab and the people that were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle, and they fled before him.

19.15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they also fled before the Avishais their brethren, and came into the city. and Yoab came to Yerusalom.

19.16 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israal, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river. and the captain of the host of Hadadezer fled before them.

19.17 And it was told David. and he gathered all Israal together, and passed over Jordan, and came unto them, and set himself in array against them. And David set himself in array against the Syrians, and fought with them.

19.18 And the Syrians fled before Israal. and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and slew of the Syrians the captain of the host.

19.19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were smitten before Israal, they made peace with David, and served him. and the Syrians would no more save the children of Ammon.

20.1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Yoab led out the host of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. and David dwelt in Yerusalom. and Yoab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

20.2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head. and it was found to weigh a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone. and it was set upon David's head. and he brought forth the spoil of the city in very great abundance.

20.3 And he brought out the people that were therein, and put them through the nets, and through the iron chains, and through the iron chains. and thus did David to all the cities of the children of Ammon. and David and all the people dwelt in Yerusalom.

20.4 And it came to pass after them, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines. then Sibbechai the Hashite smote Sephi of the children of Rephaim, and they were subdued.

20.5 And there was war again with the Philistines. and Alhanan the son of Yeor slew Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

20.6 And there was yet another war at Gath, and there was a man of Medes, whose fingers and toes were six and six, twenty-four. He also was born to be healed.

20.7 And he defied Israal, and Yonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, smote him.

20.8 They were born to be healed in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

21.1 And Satan stood up against Israal, and incited David to number Israal.

21.2 And David said to Yoab and to the captains of the people, Go, number Israal from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring them to me, that I may know the number of them.

21.3 And Yoab said, YHVH hath made his people an hundred times so many as these. is not my lord the king all my lord's servants? Why should my lord require this? Why should he bring guilt upon Israal?

21.4 And the king's word prevailed against Yoab. and Yoab went out, and went throughout all Israal, and came to Yerusalom.

21.5 And Yoab gave the number of the number of the people unto David. and all Israal were one thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword. and Yudah was four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.

21.6 But Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them, because the king's word was abominable to Yoab.

21.7 And Alhym was displeased with this thing, and smote Israal.

21.8 And David said unto Alhym, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing. but now, I pray thee, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

21.9 And YHVH spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

21.10 Go and speak to David, saying, Thus saith YHVH, I offer thee three things. choose thee one of them that pleaseth thee, and I will do it unto thee.

21.11 And Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith YHVH, Accept it for thyself.

21.12 If three years of famine, or three months of being bereaved by want, and the sword of your enemies overtake you, or if three days the sword of YHVH, and the word of YHVH, destroying throughout all the borders of Israal, and now see what I shall answer the messengers.

21.13 And David said unto Gad, I am in great distress. I pray thee, let it fall into the hand of YHVH. for his mercies are very great. but let there be no more darkness in the hand of man.

21.14 And YHVH sent a word against Israal, and there fell of Israal seventy thousand men.

21.15 And Alhym sent an angel unto Yerusalom to destroy it. and as he destroyed it, YHVH saw it, and repented him of the evil, and said unto the angel that destroyed, It is enough. stay now thine hand. And the angel of YHVH stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusite.

21.16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of YHVH standing between the earth and the heaven, with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Yerusalom. and David fell down, and the elders covered their faces with sackcloth.

21.17 And David said unto Alhym, Did I not say, Take the number of the people? I am he that hath sinned, and the wickedness of my wickedness. and these sheep, what have they done? O YHVH my Alhym, let thine hand, I pray thee, be upon me, and upon my father's house, and upon thy people, that there be no plague.

21.18 And the angel of YHVH said unto Gad, Tell David, that David shall go up to set up an altar unto YHVH in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Hivite.

21.19 And David went up at the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of YHVH.

21.20 And Ornan looked, and saw the angel, and his four sons with him, hid themselves. and Ornan threshed wheat.

21.21 And David came to Ornan. and Ornan looked, and when he saw David, he went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.

21.22 And David said unto Ornan, Give me the place of the threshingfloor, that I may build therein an altar unto YHVH with all the silver. give it me, and the plague shall be stayed from the people.

21.23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his sight. behold, I give the oxen for the burnt offering, and the fatlings for the wood, and the wheat for the meat offering. I give it all.

21.24 And king David said unto Ornan, Nay, but I will buy it for the full price. for I will not take that which is thine for YHVH, and the burnt offering is without cost.

21.25 And David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold in the place.

21.26 And David built there an altar unto YHVH, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon YHVH; and he answered him by fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering.

21.27 And YHVH said unto the angel, And he put his sword again into his sheath.

21.28 At that time David saw that YHVH had answered him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Yebusite, and he sacrificed there.

21.29 And the tabernacle of YHVH, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering at that time, in the high place at Gibeon,

21.30 And David could not go before him to inquire of Alhym. for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of YHVH.

22.1 And David said, This is the house of YHVH Alhym, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israal.

22.2 Then David said to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israal, and he set masons to hew hewn stones to build the house of Alhym.

22.3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joints; and brass in abundance without weight.

22.4 And cedar trees were without number. for the hunters and the scribes brought cedar trees in abundance to David.

22.5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house to be built for YHVH is to be magnified on high, for a name and for the glory of all lands. I will prepare it for him. And David prepared it for a great feast before his death.

22.6 And he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build the house of YHVH Alhym of Israal.

22.7 And David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to build a house for the name of YHVH my Alhym.

22.8 And the word of YHVH came unto me, saying, Thou hast shed much blood, and hast made great wars. thou shalt not build an house unto my name. for thou hast shed much blood upon the earth before me.

22.9 Behold, a son shall be born to you, 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 Israal in his days.

22.10 He shall build a 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 Israal for ever.

22.11 Now, my son, YHVH be with you, and you shall prosper, and build the house of YHVH your Alhym, as he has spoken concerning you.

22.12 Only may YHVH give you wisdom and understanding, and may you judge Israal, and keep the law of YHVH your Alhym.

22.13 Then you will prosper if you are careful to do the statutes and the judgments that YHVH commanded Moses for Israal. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.

22.14 And, behold, in my poverty I have prepared for the house of YHVH an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron there is no weight, for there is abundance. and I have prepared timber and stone in abundance.

22.15 And your people shall be multiplied, and you shall work with them, hewers of stone and wood, and every skilled man in every work.

22.16 There is no number for the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron. Arise and do, and YHVH be with you.

22.17 And David commanded all the princes of Israal to help Solomon his son.

22.18 Is not YHVH your Alhym with you, and hath given you rest on every side? for he hath delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand. and the land was subdued before YHVH, and before his people.

22.19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek YHVH your Alhym, and arise and build the temple of YHVH your Alhym, to bring the ark of the covenant of YHVH and the holy vessels of Alhym into the house that is to be built for the name of YHVH.

23.1 And David was old and seven days old, and he made Solomon his son king over Israal.

23.2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israal, and the priests, and the Levites,

23.3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward. and their number by their generations was thirty and eight thousand males.

23.4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of YHVH, and six thousand were officers and judges.

23.25 For David said, YHVH Alhym of Israal hath rested for his people, and that he may dwell in Yerusalom for ever.

23.26 Neither shall the Levites carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.

23.27 For in the last words of David these were the number of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward.

23.28 For they were appointed by the sons of Aaron to do the service of the house of YHVH, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purification of all holy things, and in the work of the service of the house of Alhym.

23.29 And the shewbread, and the basket of shewbread, and the unleavened cakes, and the fryingpan, and the laver, and every row and measure

28.3 And Alhym said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house unto my name. for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

28.4 And YHVH Alhym of Israal chose me above all my father's house to be king over Israal for ever. for he chose me in Yudah to be ruler, and in the house of Yudah, my father's house, and in my father's sons, he desired me to be king over all Israal.

28.5 And of all my sons, for YHVH hath given me many sons, and hath chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of YHVH over Israal.

28.7 And I will establish his kingdom forever, if he is strong to do my commandments and my judgments as at this day.

28.8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israal, the congregation of YHVH, and in the ears of our Alhym, keep and seek all the commandments of YHVH your Alhym, that ye may possess the good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you for ever.

28.9 And you, my son Solomon, know the Alhym of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind. For YHVH searches all hearts and understands every intention of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you forever.

28.10 See now that YHVH has chosen you to build a house for a strong sanctuary, and do it.

28.11 And David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the house, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper rooms thereof, and of the inner chambers thereof, and of the house of mercy.

28.12 And the pattern of all that was in the spirit with him for the courts of the house of YHVH, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of Alhym, and for the treasuries of the holy things.

28.13 And for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of YHVH, and for all the vessels of the service of the house of YHVH

28.14 Gold by weight, gold by weight for every tool and work, for every tool of silver by weight for every tool and work.

28.15 And the weight for the golden candlesticks and their lamps shall be gold by weight, for a lamp, and for a lamp, and for the silver candlesticks by weight, for a lamp, and for a lamp, according to the work of the lamp, and for a lamp.

28.16 And the gold by weight for the shekels of the system for the shekels of the system, and the silver for the shekels of the silver.

28.17 And the forks, and the basins, and the bowls, of pure gold; and for the gold bowls by weight, for the bowls, and for the silver bowls by weight, for the bowls, and for the silver bowls, by weight, for the bowls, and for the silver bowls,

28.18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight, and for the base of the chariot, the cherubim of gold for the horsemen, and the coverings upon the ark of the covenant of YHVH.

28.19 All is written by the hand of YHVH, who hath made me wise, all the works of the pattern.

28.20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it. fear not, nor be dismayed. for YHVH Alhym, the Alhym of thy people, will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of YHVH.

28.21 And behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of Alhym, and your people for all the work, for every willing man with wisdom for any service, and the princes and all the people for all your words.

29.1 And King David said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom Alhym has chosen, is young and tender, and the work is great; for the capital is not for man, but for YHVH Alhym."

29.2 And with all my might I prepared for the house of my Alhym the gold for gold, and the silver for silver, and the brass for brass, the iron for iron, and the wood for wood, onyx stones and stones for setting, onyx stones, and all precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

29.3 Moreover, I have desired the house of my Alhym, and have given to the house of my Alhym a store of gold and silver, above all that I have prepared for the holy house.

29.4 Three thousand talents of gold of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses.

29.5 For gold for gold, and for silver for silver, and for all manner of work in the hands of the deaf. and who will offer himself to YHVH this day to do his work?

29.6 Then the chief fathers, and the chief of the tribes of Israal, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and the officers of the king's work, offered themselves willingly.

29.7 And they gave for the service of the house of Alhym five thousand talents of gold, and of cedar in abundance, and ten thousand talents of silver, and of brass in abundance eight thousand talents, and of iron an hundred thousand talents.

29.8 And the stones that were found with him were given to the treasury of the house of YHVH by Yehial the Gershonite.

29.9 And the people rejoiced because they offered themselves willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered themselves willingly unto YHVH. and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

29.10 And David blessed YHVH in the sight of all the congregation, and said, Blessed art thou, O YHVH Alhym of Israal our father, from everlasting to everlasting.

29.11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty. For all that is in heaven and on earth is yours, O Lord. The kingdom is yours, and you are exalted as head over all.

29.12 And both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all, and in your hand is power and might, and in your hand is to make great and to give strength to all.

29.13 And now, our Alhym, we give thanks to you and praise your glorious name.

29.14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we should have the strength to offer such a sacrifice? For all things come from you, and from your hand we have given you.

29.15 For we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as all our fathers were, as a shadow of our days upon the earth, and there is no hope.

29.16 O Lord our Alhym, all this multitude that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name, it is from your hand and all is yours.

29.17 And I know, my Alhym, that thou triest the heart, and wilt delight in the upright. I have offered all these things with a perfect heart. and now with thee that are here present, I have seen with joy to offer myself unto thee.

29.18 O YHVH, the Alhym of Avraham, Isaac, and Israal, our fathers, keep this for ever, to prepare the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and to prepare their heart unto thee.

29.19 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, to do all things, and to build the city which I have provided.

29.20 And David said unto all the congregation, Bless ye YHVH your Alhym. And all the congregation blessed YHVH Alhym of their fathers, and bowed down, and worshipped YHVH and the king.

29.21 And they offered sacrifices unto YHVH, and offered burnt offerings unto YHVH the next day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and burnt offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all Israal.

29.22 And they did eat and drink before YHVH that day with great joy. and they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto YHVH to be governor, and Zadok to be priest.

29.23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of YHVH as king in place of David his father, and prospered; and all Israal obeyed him.

29.24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons of king David, gave their hand to king Solomon.

29.25 And YHVH magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israal, and bestowed upon him royal majesty such as had not been upon any king before him over Israal.

29.26 And David the son of Yesse reigned over all Israal.

29.27 And the days that he reigned over Israal were forty years. in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Yerusalom he reigned thirty and three years.

29.28 And he died in a goodly return, seven days and ten days, and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

29.29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Samual the seer, and in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Gad the seer.

29.30 With all his kingdom and might, and the times that passed over him, and over Israal, and over all the kingdoms of the lands,
