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:)

13:005:009 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:

13:005:019 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.

13:009:001 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.

13:009:014 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
