against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and
also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;

1 Chronicles 10:14 And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and
turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

1 Chronicles 11:1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron,
saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

1 Chronicles 11:2 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou
wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said
unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my
people Israel.

1 Chronicles 11:3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to
Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and
they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by
Samuel.

1 Chronicles 11:4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is
Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

1 Chronicles 11:5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not
come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of
David.

1 Chronicles 11:6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first
shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was
chief.

1 Chronicles 11:7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it
the city of David.

1 Chronicles 11:8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round
about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

1 Chronicles 11:9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts
was with him.

1 Chronicles 11:10 These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David
had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel,
to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

1 Chronicles 11:11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had;
Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear
against three hundred slain by him at one time.

1 Chronicles 11:12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite,
who was one of the three mighties.

1 Chronicles 11:13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines
were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley;
and the people fled from before the Philistines.

1 Chronicles 11:14 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and
delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great
deliverance.

1 Chronicles 11:15 Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to
David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in
the valley of Rephaim.

1 Chronicles 11:16 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines'
garrison was then at Bethlehem.

1 Chronicles 11:17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me
drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!

1 Chronicles 11:18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines,
and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it
, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out
to the LORD,

1 Chronicles 11:19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this
thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in
jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he
would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.

1 Chronicles 11:20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the
three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a
name among the three.

1 Chronicles 11:21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he
was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.

1 Chronicles 11:22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of
Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he
went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.

1 Chronicles 11:23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five
cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and
he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's
hand, and slew him with his own spear.

1 Chronicles 11:24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the
name among the three mighties.

1 Chronicles 11:25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained
not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.

1 Chronicles 11:26 Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the
brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

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

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

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

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

1 Chronicles 11:31 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the
children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

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

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

1 Chronicles 11:34 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of
Shage the Hararite,

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

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

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

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

1 Chronicles 11:39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the
armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,

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

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

1 Chronicles 11:42 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the
Reubenites, and thirty with him,

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

1 Chronicles 11:44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of
Hothan the Aroerite,

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

1 Chronicles 11:46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons
of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,

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

1 Chronicles 12:1 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he
yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among
the mighty men, helpers of the war.

1 Chronicles 12:2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right
hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of
Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

1 Chronicles 12:3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the
Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and
Jehu the Antothite,

1 Chronicles 12:4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty,
and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the
Gederathite,

1 Chronicles 12:5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and
Shephatiah the Haruphite,

1 Chronicles 12:6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and
Jashobeam, the Korhites,

1 Chronicles 12:7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

1 Chronicles 12:8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David
into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the
battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces
of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

1 Chronicles 12:9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

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

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

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

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

1 Chronicles 12:14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one
of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

1 Chronicles 12:15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month,
when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the
valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.

1 Chronicles 12:16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to
the hold unto David.

1 Chronicles 12:17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said
unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be
knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is
no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

1 Chronicles 12:18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the
captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of
Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God
helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

1 Chronicles 12:19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came
with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the
lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall
to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.

1 Chronicles 12:20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh,
Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and
Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.

1 Chronicles 12:21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for
they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.

1 Chronicles 12:22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help
him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.

1 Chronicles 12:23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready
armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to
him, according to the word of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 12:24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six
thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

1 Chronicles 12:25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the
war, seven thousand and one hundred.

1 Chronicles 12:26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

1 Chronicles 12:27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with
him were three thousand and seven hundred;

1 Chronicles 12:28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his
father's house twenty and two captains.

1 Chronicles 12:29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul,
three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of
the house of Saul.

1 Chronicles 12:30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight
hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.

1 Chronicles 12:31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand,
which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.

1 Chronicles 12:32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had
understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them
were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

1 Chronicles 12:33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war,
with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were
not of double heart.

1 Chronicles 12:34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with
shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.

1 Chronicles 12:35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight
thousand and six hundred.

1 Chronicles 12:36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in
war, forty thousand.

1 Chronicles 12:37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and
the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments
of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.

1 Chronicles 12:38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a
perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest
also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

1 Chronicles 12:39 And there they were with David three days, eating and
drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.

1 Chronicles 12:40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and
Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and
on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and
oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.

1 Chronicles 13:1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and
hundreds, and with every leader.

1 Chronicles 13:2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it
seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad
unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and
with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and
suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

1 Chronicles 13:3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we
inquired not at it in the days of Saul.

1 Chronicles 13:4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for
the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

1 Chronicles 13:5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of
Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from
Kirjathjearim.

1 Chronicles 13:6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to
Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the
LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

1 Chronicles 13:7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the
house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

1 Chronicles 13:8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their
might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with
timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

1 Chronicles 13:9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza
put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

1 Chronicles 13:10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and
he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before
God.

1 Chronicles 13:11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a
breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

1 Chronicles 13:12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I
bring the ark of God home to me?

1 Chronicles 13:13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city
of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

1 Chronicles 13:14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom
in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all
that he had.

1 Chronicles 14:1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and
timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

1 Chronicles 14:2 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king
over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people
Israel.

1 Chronicles 14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat
more sons and daughters.

1 Chronicles 14:4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in
Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

1 Chronicles 14:5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

1 Chronicles 14:6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

1 Chronicles 14:7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

1 Chronicles 14:8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed
king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David
heard of it, and went out against them.

1 Chronicles 14:9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the
valley of Rephaim.

1 Chronicles 14:10 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against
the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said
unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

1 Chronicles 14:11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them
there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like
the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place
Baalperazim.

1 Chronicles 14:12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a
commandment, and they were burned with fire.

1 Chronicles 14:13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in
the valley.

1 Chronicles 14:14 Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto
him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over
against the mulberry trees.

1 Chronicles 14:15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in
the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God
is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

1 Chronicles 14:16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote
the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

1 Chronicles 14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the
LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

1 Chronicles 15:1 And David made him houses in the city of David, and
prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

1 Chronicles 15:2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but
the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to
minister unto him for ever.

1 Chronicles 15:3 And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to
bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for it.

1 Chronicles 15:4 And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the
Levites:

1 Chronicles 15:5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren
an hundred and twenty:

1 Chronicles 15:6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren
two hundred and twenty:

1 Chronicles 15:7 Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren
an hundred and thirty:

1 Chronicles 15:8 Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his
brethren two hundred:

1 Chronicles 15:9 Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren
fourscore:

1 Chronicles 15:10 Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his
brethren an hundred and twelve.

1 Chronicles 15:11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and
for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and
Amminadab,

1 Chronicles 15:12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of
the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring
up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for
it.

1 Chronicles 15:13 For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God
made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

1 Chronicles 15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to
bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

1 Chronicles 15:15 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon
their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the
word of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 15:16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint
their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and
harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

1 Chronicles 15:17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of
his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their
brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

1 Chronicles 15:18 And with them their brethren of the second degree,
Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and
Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and
Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.

1 Chronicles 15:19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed
to sound with cymbals of brass;

1 Chronicles 15:20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel,
and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

1 Chronicles 15:21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and
Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

1 Chronicles 15:22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he
instructed about the song, because he was skilful.

1 Chronicles 15:23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.

1 Chronicles 15:24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and
Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with
the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah were doorkeepers
for the ark.

1 Chronicles 15:25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over
thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the
house of Obededom with joy.

1 Chronicles 15:26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that
bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and
seven rams.

1 Chronicles 15:27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all
the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of
the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

1 Chronicles 15:28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the
LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with
cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

1 Chronicles 15:29 And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the
LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out
at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her
heart.

1 Chronicles 16:1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of
the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and
peace offerings before God.

1 Chronicles 16:2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt
offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the
LORD.

1 Chronicles 16:3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman,
to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

1 Chronicles 16:4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before
the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of
Israel:

1 Chronicles 16:5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and
Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom:
and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

1 Chronicles 16:6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets
continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

1 Chronicles 16:7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank
the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

1 Chronicles 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known
his deeds among the people.

1 Chronicles 16:9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his
wondrous works.

1 Chronicles 16:10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice
that seek the LORD.

1 Chronicles 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face
continually.

1 Chronicles 16:12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his
wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

1 Chronicles 16:13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob,
his chosen ones.

1 Chronicles 16:14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the
earth.

1 Chronicles 16:15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he
commanded to a thousand generations;

1 Chronicles 16:16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of
his oath unto Isaac;

1 Chronicles 16:17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to
Israel for an everlasting covenant,

1 Chronicles 16:18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot
of your inheritance;

1 Chronicles 16:19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

1 Chronicles 16:20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one
kingdom to another people;

1 Chronicles 16:21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved
kings for their sakes,

1 Chronicles 16:22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no
harm.

1 Chronicles 16:23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to
day his salvation.

1 Chronicles 16:24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works
among all nations.

1 Chronicles 16:25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also
is to be feared above all gods.

1 Chronicles 16:26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD
made the heavens.

1 Chronicles 16:27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and
gladness are in his place.

1 Chronicles 16:28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto
the LORD glory and strength.

1 Chronicles 16:29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an
offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

1 Chronicles 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be
stable, that it be not moved.

1 Chronicles 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and
let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

1 Chronicles 16:32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields
rejoice, and all that is therein.

1 Chronicles 16:33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence
of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

1 Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his
mercy endureth for ever.

1 Chronicles 16:35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather
us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy
holy name, and glory in thy praise.

1 Chronicles 16:36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And
all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

1 Chronicles 16:37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the
LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every
day's work required:

1 Chronicles 16:38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight;
Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:

1 Chronicles 16:39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests,
before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

1 Chronicles 16:40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of
the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all
that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;

1 Chronicles 16:41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were
chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his
mercy endureth for ever;

1 Chronicles 16:42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and
cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of
God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.

1 Chronicles 16:43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and
David returned to bless his house.

1 Chronicles 17:1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David
said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of
the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

1 Chronicles 17:2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine
heart; for God is with thee.

1 Chronicles 17:3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God
came to Nathan, saying,

1 Chronicles 17:4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou
shalt not build me an house to dwell in:

1 Chronicles 17:5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I
brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one
tabernacle to another.

1 Chronicles 17:6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word
to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying,
Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

1 Chronicles 17:7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from
following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

1 Chronicles 17:8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked,
and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name
like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

1 Chronicles 17:9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will
plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more;
neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the
beginning,

1 Chronicles 17:10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my
people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell
thee that the LORD will build thee an house.

1 Chronicles 17:11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that
thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee,
which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

1 Chronicles 17:12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his
throne for ever.

1 Chronicles 17:13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will
not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

1 Chronicles 17:14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for
ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

1 Chronicles 17:15 According to all these words, and according to all this
vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

1 Chronicles 17:16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and
said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me
hitherto?

1 Chronicles 17:17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for
thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and
hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

1 Chronicles 17:18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy
servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

1 Chronicles 17:19 O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine
own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great
things.

1 Chronicles 17:20 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God
beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

1 Chronicles 17:21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people
Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of
greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people,
whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

1 Chronicles 17:22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people
for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

1 Chronicles 17:23 Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken
concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and
do as thou hast said.

1 Chronicles 17:24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be
magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God
to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

1 Chronicles 17:25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt
build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray
before thee.

1 Chronicles 17:26 And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this
goodness unto thy servant:

1 Chronicles 17:27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of
thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD,
and it shall be blessed for ever.

1 Chronicles 18:1 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the
Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of
the Philistines.

1 Chronicles 18:2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's
servants, and brought gifts.

1 Chronicles 18:3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he
went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

1 Chronicles 18:4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven
thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hocked all the
chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

1 Chronicles 18:5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer
king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

1 Chronicles 18:6 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians
became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David
whithersoever he went.

1 Chronicles 18:7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the
servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 18:8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer,
brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the
pillars, and the vessels of brass.

1 Chronicles 18:9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten
all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

1 Chronicles 18:10 He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his
welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and
smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of
vessels of gold and silver and brass.

1 Chronicles 18:11 Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the
silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and
from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from
Amalek.

1 Chronicles 18:12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites
in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

1 Chronicles 18:13 And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became
David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

1 Chronicles 18:14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment
and justice among all his people.

1 Chronicles 18:15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and
Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

1 Chronicles 18:16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of
Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;

1 Chronicles 18:17 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites
and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.

1 Chronicles 19:1 Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of
the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

1 Chronicles 19:2 And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of
Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to
comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land
of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

1 Chronicles 19:3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun,
Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters
unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to
overthrow, and to spy out the land?

1 Chronicles 19:4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them,
and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them
away.

1 Chronicles 19:5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were
served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the
king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

1 Chronicles 19:6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made
themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand
talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and
out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.

1 Chronicles 19:7 So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the
king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the
children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to
battle.

1 Chronicles 19:8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host
of the mighty men.

1 Chronicles 19:9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in
array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by
themselves in the field.

1 Chronicles 19:10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him
before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in
array against the Syrians.

1 Chronicles 19:11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of
Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of
Ammon.

1 Chronicles 19:12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then
thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then
I will help thee.

1 Chronicles 19:13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly
for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which
is good in his sight.

1 Chronicles 19:14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh
before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

1 Chronicles 19:15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were
fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the
city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 19:16 And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse
before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were
beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went
before them.

1 Chronicles 19:17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and
passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against
them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they
fought with him.

1 Chronicles 19:18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the
Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand
footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

1 Chronicles 19:19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put
to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his
servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

1 Chronicles 20:1 And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at
the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army,
and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah.
But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

1 Chronicles 20:2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head,
and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it;
and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out
of the city.

1 Chronicles 20:3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them
with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with
all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned
to Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 20:4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at
Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew
Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.

1 Chronicles 20:5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan
the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear
staff was like a weaver's beam.

1 Chronicles 20:6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of
great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand,
and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.

1 Chronicles 20:7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea
David's brother slew him.

1 Chronicles 20:8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by
the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

1 Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to
number Israel.

1 Chronicles 21:2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people,
Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to
me, that I may know it.

1 Chronicles 21:3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred
times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my
lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a
cause of trespass to Israel?

1 Chronicles 21:4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab.
Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to
Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 21:5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto
David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand
men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand
men that drew sword.

1 Chronicles 21:6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the
king's word was abominable to Joab.

1 Chronicles 21:7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote
Israel.

1 Chronicles 21:8 And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I
have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy
servant; for I have done very foolishly.

1 Chronicles 21:9 And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

1 Chronicles 21:10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer
thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

1 Chronicles 21:11 So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the
LORD, Choose thee

1 Chronicles 21:12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be
destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh
thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the
land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of
Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that
sent me.

1 Chronicles 21:13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me
fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me
not fall into the hand of man.

1 Chronicles 21:14 So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell
of Israel seventy thousand men.

1 Chronicles 21:15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and
as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and
said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the
angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1 Chronicles 21:16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the
LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand
stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were
clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

1 Chronicles 21:17 And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the
people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but
as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD
my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they
should be plagued.

1 Chronicles 21:18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David,
that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the
threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

1 Chronicles 21:19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in
the name of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 21:20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four
sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

1 Chronicles 21:21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David,
and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face
to the ground.

1 Chronicles 21:22 Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this
threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt
grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.

1 Chronicles 21:23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my
lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also
for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for
the meat offering; I give it all.

1 Chronicles 21:24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy
it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD,
nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

1 Chronicles 21:25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels
of gold by weight.

1 Chronicles 21:26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered
burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered
him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.

1 Chronicles 21:27 And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword
again into the sheath thereof.

1 Chronicles 21:28 At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered
him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

1 Chronicles 21:29 For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the
wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the
high place at Gibeon.

1 Chronicles 21:30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God: for
he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 22:1 Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and
this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

1 Chronicles 22:2 And David commanded to gather together the strangers that
were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build
the house of God.

1 Chronicles 22:3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the
doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without
weight;

1 Chronicles 22:4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they
of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

1 Chronicles 22:5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and
the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of
fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make
preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

1 Chronicles 22:6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to
build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

1 Chronicles 22:7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my
mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

1 Chronicles 22:8 But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast
shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house
unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

1 Chronicles 22:9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of
rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name
shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

1 Chronicles 22:10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my
son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom
over Israel for ever.

1 Chronicles 22:11 Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and
build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

1 Chronicles 22:12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and
give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD
thy God.

1 Chronicles 22:13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil
the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning
Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

1 Chronicles 22:14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house
of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand
talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in
abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

1 Chronicles 22:15 Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers
and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every
manner of work.

1 Chronicles 22:16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron,
there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

1 Chronicles 22:17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help
Solomon his son, saying,

1 Chronicles 22:18 Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given
you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into
mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

1 Chronicles 22:19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your
God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the
ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house
that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 23:1 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon
his son king over Israel.

1 Chronicles 23:2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with
the priests and the Levites.

1 Chronicles 23:3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years
and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight
thousand.

1 Chronicles 23:4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the
work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

1 Chronicles 23:5 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand
praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise
therewith.

1 Chronicles 23:6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of
Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

1 Chronicles 23:7 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

1 Chronicles 23:8 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and
Joel, three.

1 Chronicles 23:9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran,
three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

1 Chronicles 23:10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and
Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

1 Chronicles 23:11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush
and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according
to their father's house.

1 Chronicles 23:12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,
four.

1 Chronicles 23:13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was
separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for
ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in
his name for ever.

1 Chronicles 23:14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named
of the tribe of Levi.

1 Chronicles 23:15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

1 Chronicles 23:16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

1 Chronicles 23:17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And
Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

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

1 Chronicles 23:19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the
second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

1 Chronicles 23:20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the
second.

1 Chronicles 23:21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli;
Eleazar, and Kish.

1 Chronicles 23:22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and
their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

1 Chronicles 23:23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

1 Chronicles 23:24 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their
fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of
names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the
LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.

1 Chronicles 23:25 For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest
unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

1 Chronicles 23:26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the
tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

1 Chronicles 23:27 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered
from twenty years old and above:

1 Chronicles 23:28 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for
the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and
in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house
of God;

1 Chronicles 23:29 Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for meat
offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the
pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;

1 Chronicles 23:30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD,
and likewise at even;

1 Chronicles 23:31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the
sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the
order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:

1 Chronicles 23:32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons
of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 24:1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons
of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

1 Chronicles 24:2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no
children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.

1 Chronicles 24:3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of
Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in
their service.

1 Chronicles 24:4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar
than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of
Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight
among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.

1 Chronicles 24:5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for
the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the
sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

1 Chronicles 24:6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the
Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest,
and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the
priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one
taken for Ithamar.

1 Chronicles 24:7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to
Jedaiah,

1 Chronicles 24:8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,

1 Chronicles 24:9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,

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

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

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

1 Chronicles 24:13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,

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

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

1 Chronicles 24:16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,

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

1 Chronicles 24:18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and
twentieth to Maaziah.

1 Chronicles 24:19 These were the orderings of them in their service to come
into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their

princes of the tribes of Israel.

1 Chronicles 27:23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years
old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the
stars of the heavens.

1 Chronicles 27:24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished
not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number
put in the account of the chronicles of king David.

1 Chronicles 27:25 And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of

1 Chronicles 27:32 Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counsellor, a wise man,
and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:

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.

1 Chronicles 28:2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear
me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an
house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool
of our God, and had made ready for the building:

1 Chronicles 28:3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my
name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.

1 Chronicles 28:4 Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the
house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah
to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among
the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

1 Chronicles 28:5 And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many
sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of
the LORD over Israel.

1 Chronicles 28:6 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my
house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his
father.

1 Chronicles 28:7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be
constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

1 Chronicles 28:8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation
of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the
commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and
leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

1 Chronicles 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father,
and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD
searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts:
if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will
cast thee off for ever.

1 Chronicles 28:10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an
house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

1 Chronicles 28:11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the
porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the
upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of
the mercy seat,

1 Chronicles 28:12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the
courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the
treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:

1 Chronicles 28:13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and
for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the
vessels of service in the house of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 28:14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all
instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of
silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:

1 Chronicles 28:15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for
their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps
thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the
candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every
candlestick.

1 Chronicles 28:16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of showbread,
for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:

1 Chronicles 28:17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the
cups: and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and
likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver:

1 Chronicles 28:18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and
gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their
wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 28:19 All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in
writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.

1 Chronicles 28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good
courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God,
will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast
finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

1 Chronicles 28:21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites,
even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and
there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful
man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be
wholly at thy commandment.

1 Chronicles 29:1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation,
Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the
work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

1 Chronicles 29:2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my
God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of
silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and
wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones,
and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in
abundance.

1 Chronicles 29:3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of
my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given
to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy
house,

1 Chronicles 29:4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir,
and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the
houses withal:

1 Chronicles 29:5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of
silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And
who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?

1 Chronicles 29:6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of
Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the
king's work, offered willingly,

1 Chronicles 29:7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five
thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents,
and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of
iron.

1 Chronicles 29:8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to
the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

1 Chronicles 29:9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly,
because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the
king also rejoiced with great joy.

1 Chronicles 29:10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the
congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father,
for ever and ever.

1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the
glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in
the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head
above all.

1 Chronicles 29:12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest
over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to
make great, and to give strength unto all.

1 Chronicles 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy
glorious name.

1 Chronicles 29:14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be
able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and
of thine own have we given thee.

1 Chronicles 29:15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were
all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none
abiding.

1 Chronicles 29:16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to
build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine
own.

1 Chronicles 29:17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast
pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have
willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people,
which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.

1 Chronicles 29:18 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers,
keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy
people, and prepare their heart unto thee:

1 Chronicles 29:19 And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy
commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things,
and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.

1 Chronicles 29:20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the
LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers,
and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.

1 Chronicles 29:21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered
burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand
bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings,
and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:

1 Chronicles 29:22 And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with
great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time,
and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be
priest.

1 Chronicles 29:23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king
instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

1 Chronicles 29:24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons
likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.

1 Chronicles 29:25 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight
of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any
king before him in Israel.

1 Chronicles 29:26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

1 Chronicles 29:27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years;
seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in
Jerusalem.

1 Chronicles 29:28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and
honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

1 Chronicles 29:29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold,
they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the
prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

1 Chronicles 29:30 With all his reign and his might, and the times that went
over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
