 bones under  the oak that was in       
,jabes1 and they fasted seven days4     
#aj3ac4 ,so ,saul died for his          
iniquities1 because he transgressed the 
commandment of the ,lord1 which he had  
commanded1 and kept it not3 and         
moreover consulted also a witch1        

#aj3ad4 ,and trusted not in the ,lord3  
therefore he slew him1 and  transferred 
his kingdom to ,david the son of ,isai4 
#a ,paralipomenon ,chapter #aa    ,david
 is made king4 ,he taketh the castle of 
,sion4 ,a catalogue of his  valiant men4
    #aa3a4 ,then all ,israel gathered   
themselves to ,david in ,hebron1 saying3
 ,we  are thy bone1 and thy flesh4      
#aa3b4 ,yesterday also1 and the day     
before when ,saul was king1 thou wast   
he that leddest out and broughtest in   
,israel3 for the ,lord thy ,god said  to
 thee3 ,thou shalt feed my people       
,israel1 and thou shalt be ruler over   
them4    #aa3c4 ,so all the ancients of 
,israel came to the king to ,hebron1 and
  ,david made a covenant with them      
before the ,lord3 and they anointed him 
king over ,israel according to the word 
of the ,lord which he spoke in the  hand
 of ,samuel4    #aa3d4 ,and ,david and  
all ,israel went to ,jerusalem1 which is
 ,jebus1 where  the ,jebusites were the 
inhabitants of the land4    #aa3e4 ,and 

the inhabitants of ,jebus said to       
,david3 ,thou shalt not come in  here4  
,but ,david took the castle of ,sion1   
which is the city of ,david4    #aa3f4  
,and he said3 ,whosoever shall first    
strike the ,jebusites1 shall be  the    
head and chief captain4 ,and ,joab the  
son of ,sarvia went up first1  and was  
made the general4    #aa3g4 ,and ,david 
dwelt in the castle1 and therefore it   
was called the  city of ,david1         
#aa3h4 ,and he built the city round     
about from ,mello all round1 and ,joab  
built the rest of the city4    #aa3i4   
,and ,david went on growing and         
increasing1 and the ,lord of hosts  was 
with him4    #aa3aj4 ,these are the     
chief of the valiant man of ,david1 who 
helped him  to be made king over all    
,israel1 according to the word of the   
,lord1  which he spoke to ,israel4      
#aa3aa4 ,and this is the number of the  
heroes of ,david3 ,jesbaam the son of   
,hachamoni the chief among the thirty3  
he lifted up his spear against  three   

hundred wounded by him at one time4     
#aa3ab4 ,and after him was ,eleazar his 
uncle's son the ,ahohite1 who was  one  
of the three mighties4    #aa3ac4 ,he   
was with ,david in ,phesdomim1 when the 
,philistines were  gathered to that     
place to battle3 and the field of that  
country was full  of barley1 and the    
people fled from before the             
,philistines4    #aa3ad4 ,but these men 
stood in the midst of the field1 and    
defended it3  and they slew the         
,philistines1 and the ,lord gave a great
 deliverance to  his people4    #aa3ae4 
,and three of the thirty captains went  
down to the rock1 wherein  ,david was1  
to the cave of ,odollam1 when the       
,philistines encamped in the  valley of 
,raphaim4    #aa3af4 ,and ,david was in 
a hold1 and the garrison of the         
,philistines in  ,bethlehem4    #aa3ag4 
,and ,david longed1 and said3 ,o that   
some man would give me water  of the    
cistern of ,bethlehem1 which is in the  
gate4    #aa3ah4 ,and these three broke 

through the midst of the camp of the    
,philistines1 and drew water out of the 
cistern of ,bethlehem1 which was  in the
 gate1 and brought it to ,david to      
drink3 and he would not drink of  it1   
but rather offered it to the ,lord1     
#aa3ai4 ,saying3 ,god forbid that ,i    
should do this in the sight of my ,god1 
and should drink the blood of these men3
 for with the danger of their  lives    
they have brought me the water4 ,and    
therefore he would not drink4  ,these   
things did the three most valiant4      
#aa3bj4 ,and ,abisai the brother of     
,joab1 he was chief of three1 and he    
lifted up his spear against three       
hundred whom he slew1 and he was        
renowned among the three1    #aa3ba4    
,and illustrious among the second three1
 and their captain3 but  yet he attained
 not to the first three4    #aa3bb4     
,banaias the son of ,joiada a most      
valiant man1 of ,cabseel1 who had  done 
many acts3 he slew the two ariels of    
,moab3 and he went down1 and  killed a  

lion in the midst of a pit in the time  
of snow4    ,two ariels444 ,that is1 two
 lions1 or lion-like men2 for ,ariel in 
,hebrew  signifies a lion4    #aa3bc4   
,and he slew an ,egyptian1 whose stature
 was of five cubits1 and  who had a     
spear like a weaver's beam3 and he went 
down to him with a  staff1 and plucked  
away the spear1 that he held in his     
hand1 and slew  him with his own spear4 
#aa3bd4 ,these things did ,banaias the  
son of ,joiada1 who was renowned  among 
the three valiant ones1    #aa3be4 ,and 
the first among the thirty1 but yet to  
the three he attained  not3 and ,david  
made him of his council4    #aa3bf4

army1 were ,asahel brother of  ,joab1

to ,siceleg1 while he yet  fled from

most valiant and excellent  warriors1

    #ab3h4 ,from ,gaddi also there went 
over to ,david1 when he lay hid in the  
wilderness most valiant men1 and        
excellent warriors1 holding shield and  
spear3 whose faces were like the faces  
of a lion1 and they were swift  like the
 roebucks on the mountains4    #ab3i4

eleventh1    #ab3ad4 ,these were of the 
sons of ,gad1 captains of the army3 the 
least of  them was captain over a       
hundred soldiers1 and the greatest over 
a  thousand4    #ab3ae4 ,these are they 
who passed over the ,jordan in the first
 month1  when it is used to flow over   
its banks3 and they put to flight all   
that  dwelt in the valleys both toward  
the east and toward the west4    #ab3af4
 ,and there came also of the men of     
,benjamin1 and of ,juda to the  hold1 in
 which ,david abode4    #ab3ag4 ,and    
,david went out to meet them1 and said3 
,if you are come  peaceably to me to    
help me1 let my heart be joined to you3 
but if you  plot against me for my      
enemies whereas ,i have no iniquity in  
my hands1  let the ,god of our fathers  
see1 and judge4    #ab3ah4 ,but the     
spirit came upon ,amasai the chief among
 thirty1 and he  said3 ,we are thine1 ,o
 ,david1 and for thee1 ,o son of ,isai3 
peace1 peace  be to thee1 and peace to  
thy helpers4 ,for thy ,god helpeth thee4

 ,so ,david  received them1 and made    
them captains of the band4    #ab3ai4   
,and there were some of ,manasses that  
went over to ,david1 when he  came with 
the ,philistines against ,saul to fight3
 but he did not fight  with them3       
because the lords of the ,philistines   
taking counsel sent him  back1 saying3  
,with the danger of our heads he will   
return to his master  ,saul4    #ab3bj4 
,so when he went back to ,siceleg1 there
 fled to him of ,manasses1  ,ednas and  
,jozabad1 and ,jedihel1 and ,michael1   
and ,ednas1 and ,jozabad1 and  ,eliu1   
and ,salathi1 captains of thousands in

,david against the rovers3 for they were
 all most  valiant men1 and were made   
commanders in the army4    #ab3bb4      
,moreover day by day there came some to 
,david to help him till  they became a  
great number1 like the army of ,god4    
#ab3bc4 ,and this is the number of the  
chiefs of the army who came to  ,david1 
when he was in ,hebron1 to transfer to  

him the kingdom of ,saul1  according to 
the word of the ,lord4    #ab3bd4 ,the  
sons of ,juda bearing shield and spear1 
six thousand eight  hundred well

#ab3bh4 ,sadoc also a young man of      
excellent disposition1 and the house of 
his father1 twenty-two principal men4   
#ab3bi4 ,and of the sons of ,benjamin   
the brethren of ,saul1 three thousand3  
for hitherto a great part of them       
followed the house of ,saul4    #ab3cj4 
,and of the sons of ,ephraim twenty     
thousand eight hundred1 men of  great   
valour renowned in their kindreds4      
#ab3ca4 ,and of the half tribe of       
,manasses1 eighteen thousand1 every one 
by their names1 came to make ,david     
king4    #ab3cb4 ,also of the sons of   

,issachar men of understanding1 that    
knew all  times to order what ,israel   
should do1 two hundred principal men3   
and all  the rest of the tribe followed 
their counsel4    #ab3cc4 ,and of       
,zabulon such as went forth to battle1  
and stood in array  well appointed with 
armour for war1 there came fifty        
thousand to his  aid1 with no double    
heart4    #ab3cd4 ,and of ,nephtali1 a  
thousand leaders3 and with them seven   
and  thirty thousand1 furnished with    
shield and spear4    #ab3ce4 ,of ,dan   
also twenty-eight thousand six hundred  
prepared for  battle4    #ab3cf4 ,and of
 ,aser forty thousand going forth to    
fight1 and challenging  in battle4      
#ab3cg4 ,and on the other side of the   
,jordan of the sons of ,ruben1 and of   
,gad1 and of the half of the tribe of   
,manasses a hundred and twenty          
thousand1 furnished with arms for war4  
#ab3ch4 ,all these men of war well      
appointed to fight1 came with a perfect 
heart to ,hebron1 to make ,david king   

over all ,israel3 and all the rest  also
 of ,israel1 were of one heart to make  
,david king4    #ab3ci4 ,and they were  
there with ,david three days eating and 
drinking3  for their brethren had       
prepared for them4    #ab3dj4 ,moreover 
they that were near them even as far as 
,issachar1 and  ,zabulon1 and ,nephtali1
 brought loaves on asses1 and on camels1
 and on  mules1 and on oxen1 to eat3    
meal1 figs1 raisins1 wine1 oil1 and     
oxen1  and sheep in abundance1 for there
 was joy in ,israel4    #a              
,paralipomenon ,chapter #ac    ,the ark 
is brought from ,cariathiarim4 ,oza for 
touching it is struck  dead4    #ac3a4  
,david consulted with the captains of   
thousands1 and of hundreds1  and with   
all the commanders4    #ac3b4 ,and he   
said to all the assembly of ,israel3 ,if
 it please you2 and  if the words which 
,i speak come from the ,lord our ,god1  
let us send to  the rest of our brethren
 into all the countries of ,israel1 and 
to the  priests1 and the ,levites1 that 

dwell in the suburbs of the cities1 to  
gather themselves to us1    #ac3c4 ,and 
let us bring again the ark of our ,god  
to us3 for we sought it  not in the days
 of ,saul4    #ac3d4 ,and all the       
multitude answered that it should be so3
 for the word  pleased all the people4  
#ac3e4 ,so ,david assembled all ,israel 
from ,sihor of ,egypt1 even to the      
entering into ,emath1 to bring the ark  
of ,god from ,cariathiarim4    #ac3f4   
,and ,david went up with all the men of 
,israel to the hill of  ,cariathiarim   
which is in ,juda1 to bring thence the  
ark of the ,lord ,god  sitting upon the 
cherubims1 where his name is called     
upon4    #ac3g4 ,and they carried the   
ark of ,god upon a new cart out of the  
house  of ,abinadab4 ,and ,oza and his  
brother drove the cart4    #ac3h4 ,and  
,david and all ,israel played before    
,god with all their might  with hymns1  
and with harps1 and with psalteries1 and
 timbrels1 and  cymbals1 and trumpets1  
#ac3i4 ,and when they came to the floor 

of ,chidon1 ,oza put forth his hand1  to
 hold up the ark3 for the ox being      
wanton had made it lean a little on  one
 side4    #ac3aj4 ,and the ,lord was    
angry with ,oza1 and struck him1 because
 he had  touched the ark2 and he died   
there before the ,lord4    #ac3aa4 ,and 
,david was troubled because the ,lord   
had divided ,oza3 and he  called that   
place the ,breach of ,oza to this day4  
#ac3ab4 ,and he feared ,god at that     
time1 saying3 ,how can ,i bring in the  
ark of ,god to me8    #ac3ac4 ,and      
therefore he brought it not home to     
himself1 that is1 into  the city of     
,david1 but carried it aside into the   
house of ,obededom the  ,gethite4       
#ac3ad4 ,and the ark of ,god remained in
 the house of ,obededom three  months3  
and the ,lord blessed his house1 and all
 that he had4    #a ,paralipomenon      
,chapter #ad    ,david's house1 and     
children3 his victories over the        
,philistines4    #ad3a4 ,and ,hiram king
 of ,tyre sent messengers to ,david1 and

 cedar trees1  and masons1 and          
carpenters1 to build him a house4       
#ad3b4 ,and ,david perceived that the   
,lord had confirmed him king over       
,israel1 and that his kingdom was       
exalted over his people ,israel4        
#ad3c4 ,and ,david took other wives in  
,jerusalem3 and he begot sons1 and      
daughters4    #ad3d4 ,now these are the 
names of them that were born to him in  
,jerusalem3 ,samua1 and ,sobad1 ,nathan1
 and ,solomon1    #ad3e4 ,jebahar1 and  
,elisua1 and ,eliphalet1    #ad3f4 ,and 
,noga1 and ,napheg1 and ,japhia1        
#ad3g4 ,elisama1 and ,baaliada1 and     
,eliphalet4    #ad3h4 ,and the          
,philistines hearing that ,david was    
anointed king over all  ,israel1 went   
all up to seek him3 and ,david heard of 
it1 and went out  against them4         
#ad3i4 ,and the ,philistines came and   
spread themselves in the vale of        
,raphaim4    #ad3aj4 ,and ,david        
consulted the ,lord1 saying3 ,shall ,i  
go up against the  ,philistines1 and    

wilt thou deliver them into my hand8    
,and the ,lord said  to him3 ,go up1 and
 ,i will deliver them into thy hand4    
#ad3aa4 ,and when they were come to     
,baalpharasim1 ,david defeated them     
there1 and he said3 ,god hath divided my
 enemies by my hand1 as waters  are     
divided3 and therefore the name of that 
place was called  ,baalpharasim4        
#ad3ab4 ,and they left there their gods1
 and ,david commanded that they  should 
be burnt4    #ad3ac4 ,another time also 
the ,philistines made an irruption1 and 
spread  themselves abroad in the valley4
    #ad3ad4 ,and ,david consulted ,god  
again1 and ,god said to him3 ,go not up 
after them1 turn away from them1 and    
come upon them over against the  pear   
trees4    #ad3ae4 ,and when thou shalt  
hear the sound of one going in the tops 
of  the pear trees1 then shalt thou go  
out to battle4 ,for ,god is gone out    
before thee to strike the army of the   
,philistines4    #ad3af4 ,and ,david did
 as ,god had commanded him1 and defeated

 the army of  the ,philistines1 slaying 
them from ,gabaon to ,gazera4    #ad3ag4
 ,and the name of ,david became famous  
in all countries1 and the  ,lord made   
all nations fear aim4    #a             
,paralipomenon ,chapter #ae    ,the ark 
is brought into the city of ,david1 with
 great solemnity4  ,michol  derideth    
,david's devotion4    #ae3a4 ,he made   
also houses for himself in the city of  
,david3 and built a  place for the ark  
of ,god1 and pitched a tabernacle for   
it4    #ae3b4 ,then ,david said3 ,no one
 ought to carry the ark of ,god1 but the
  ,levites1 whom the ,lord hath chosen  
to carry it1 and to minister unto       
himself for ever4    #ae3c4 ,and he     
gathered all ,israel together into      
,jerusalem1 that the ark  of ,god might 
be brought into its place1 which he had 
prepared for it4    #ae3d4 ,and the sons
 of ,aaron also1 and the ,levites4      
#ae3e4 ,of the children of ,caath1      
,uriel was the chief1 and his brethren a
  hundred and twenty4    #ae3f4 ,of the

his brethren eighty4    #ae3aj4 ,of the 
sons of ,oziel1 ,aminadab the chief3 and
 his brethren a  hundred and twelve4    
#ae3aa4 ,and ,david called ,sadoc1 and  
,abiathar the priests1 and the          
,levites1 ,uriel1 ,asaia1 ,joel1        
,semeia1 ,eliel1 and ,aminadab3         
#ae3ab4 ,and he said to them3 ,you that 
are the heads of the ,levitical         
families1 be sanctified with your       
brethren1 and bring the ark of the      
,lord the ,god of ,israel to the place1 
which is prepared for it3    #ae3ac4    
,lest as the ,lord at first struck us1  
because you were not  present1 the same 
should now also come to pass1 by our    
doing some thing  against the law4      

#ae3ad4 ,so the priests and the ,levites
 were sanctified1 to carry the ark  of  
the ,lord the ,god of ,israel4          
#ae3ae4 ,and the sons of ,levi took the 
ark of ,god as ,moses had commanded1    
according to the word of the ,lord1 upon
 their shoulders1 with the  staves4     
#ae3af4 ,and ,david spoke to the chiefs 
of the ,levites1 to appoint some of     
their brethren to be singers with       
musical instruments1 to wit1 on         
psalteries1 and harps1 and cymbals1 that
 the joyful noise might resound  on     
high4    #ae3ag4 ,and they appointed    
,levites1 ,hemam the son of ,joel1 and  
of his  brethren ,asaph the son of      
,barachias3 and of the sons of ,merari1 
their  brethren3 ,ethan the son of      
,casaia4    #ae3ah4 ,and with them their
 brethren3 in the second rank1          
,zacharias1 and  ,ben1 and ,jaziel1 and 
,semiramoth1 and ,jahiel1 and ,ani1 and 
,eliab1 and  ,banaias1 and ,maasias1 and
 ,mathathias1 and ,eliphalu1 and        
,macenias1 and  ,obededom1 and ,jehiel1 

the porters4    #ae3ai4 ,now the        
singers1 ,heman1 ,asaph1 and ,ethan1    
sounded with cymbals of  brass4         
#ae3bj4 ,and ,zacharias1 and ,oziel1 and
 ,semiramoth1 and ,jehiel1 and ,ani1    
and ,eliab1 and ,maasias1 and ,banaias1 
sung mysteries upon psalteries4         
#ae3ba4 ,and ,mathathias1 and ,eliphalu1
 and ,macenias and ,obededom1 and       
,jehiel and ,ozaziu1 sung a song of     
victory for the octave upon harps4      
#ae3bb4 ,and ,chonenias chief of the    
,levites1 presided over the prophecy1   
to give out the tunes3 for he was very  
skilful4    ,the prophecy1 to give out  
the tunes444 ,singing praises to ,god is
 here  called prophecy3 the more1       
because these singers were often        
inspired  men4    #ae3bc4 ,and          
,barachias1 and ,elcana1 were           
doorkeepers of the ark4    #ae3bd4 ,and 
,sebenias1 and ,josaphat1 and           
,nathanael1 and ,amasai1 and            
,zacharias1 and ,banaias1 and ,eliezer  
the priests1 sounded with trumpets1     

before the ark of ,god3 and ,obededom   
and ,jehias were porters of the ark4    
#ae3be4 ,so ,david and all the ancients 
of ,israel1 and the captains over       
thousands1 went to bring the ark of the 
covenant of the ,lord out of the  house 
of ,obededom with joy4    #ae3bf4 ,and  
when ,god had helped the ,levites who   
carried the ark of the  covenant of the 
,lord1 they offered in sacrifice seven  
oxen1 and seven  rams4    #ae3bg4 ,and  
,david was clothed with a robe of fine  
linen1 and all the  ,levites that       
carried the ark1 and the singing men1   
and ,chonenias the  ruler of the        
prophecy among the singers3 and ,david  
also had on him an  ephod of linen4     
#ae3bh4 ,and all ,israel brought the ark
 of the covenant of the ,lord with      
joyful shouting1 and sounding with the  
sound of the cornet1 and with  trumpets1
 and cymbals1 and psalteries1 and harps4
    #ae3bi4 ,and when the ark of the    
covenant of the ,lord was come to the   
city  of ,david1 ,michol the daughter of

 ,saul looking out at a window1 saw king
  ,david dancing and playing1 and she   
despised him in her heart4    #a        
,paralipomenon ,chapter #af    ,the ark 
is placed in the tabernacle4 ,sacrifice 
is offered4 ,david  blesseth the people1
 disposeth the offices of ,levites1 and 
maketh a  psalm of praise to ,god4      
#af3a4 ,so they brought the ark of ,god1
 and set it in the midst of the  tent1  
which ,david had pitched for it3 and    
they offered holocausts1 and  peace     
offerings before ,god4    #af3b4 ,and   
when ,david had made an end of offering 
holocausts1 and peace  offerings1 he    
blessed the people in the name of the   
,lord4    #af3c4 ,and he divided to all 
and every one1 both men and women1 a    
loaf of  bread1 and a piece of roasted  
beef1 and flour fried with oil4         
#af3d4 ,and he appointed ,levites to    
minister before the ark of the ,lord1   
and to remember his works1 and to       
glorify1 and praise the ,lord ,god of   
,israel4    #af3e4 ,asaph the chief1 and

 next after him ,zacharias3 moreover    
,jahiel1  and ,semiramoth1 and ,jehiel1 
and ,mathathias1 and ,eliab1 and        
,banaias1 and  ,obededom3 and ,jehiel   
over the instruments of psaltery1 and   
harps3 and  ,asaph sounded with cymbals3
    #af3f4 ,but ,banaias1 and ,jaziel   
the priests1 to sound the trumpet       
continually before the ark of the       
covenant of the ,lord4    #af3g4 ,in    
that day ,david made ,asaph the chief to
 give praise to the ,lord  with his     
brethren4    #af3h4 ,praise ye the      
,lord1 and call upon his name3 make     
known his doings  among the nations4    
#af3i4 ,sing to him1 yea1 sing praises

ye the ,lord1 and his power3 seek ye his

his servants1 ye children of ,jacob his 
chosen4    #af3ad4 ,he is the ,lord our 
,god3 his judgments are in all the      
earth4    #af3ae4 ,remember for ever his
 covenant3 the word1 which he commanded 
to a  thousand generations4    #af3af4  
,the covenant which he made with        
,abraham3 and his oath to ,isaac4       
#af3ag4 ,and he appointed the same to   
,jacob for a precept3 and to ,israel    
for an everlasting covenant3    #af3ah4 
,saying3 ,to thee will ,i give the land 
of ,chanaan3 the lot of your            
inheritance4    #af3ai4 ,when they were 
but a small number3 very few and        
sojourners in it4    #af3bj4 ,and they  
passed from nation to nation3 and from a
 kingdom to  another people4    #af3ba4 
,he suffered no man to do them wrong3   
and reproved kings for their  sake4     
#af3bb4 ,touch not my anointed3 and do  
no evil to my prophets4    #af3bc4 ,sing
 ye to the ,lord1 all the earth3 shew   
forth from day to day  his salvation4   
#af3bd4 ,declare his glory among the    

,gentiles3 his wonders among all        
people4    #af3be4 ,for the ,lord is    
great and exceedingly to be praised3 and
 he is to  be feared above all gods4    
#af3bf4 ,for all the gods of the nations
 are idols3 but the ,lord made the      
heavens4    #af3bg4 ,praise and         
magnificence are before him3 strength   
and joy in his  place4    #af3bh4 ,bring

and adore the ,lord in holy

earth be moved at his presence3 for he  
hath founded  the world immoveable4     
#af3ca4 ,let the heavens rejoice1 and   
the earth be glad3 and let them say     
among the nations3 ,the ,lord hath      
reigned4    #af3cb4 ,let the sea roar1  
and the fulness thereof3 let the fields 
rejoice1 and all things that are in     
them4    #af3cc4 ,then shall the trees

ye3 ,save us1 ,o ,god our savior3 and

 the nations1 that we may give glory to 
thy holy  name1 and may rejoice in      
singing thy praises4    #af3cf4 ,blessed
 be the ,lord the ,god of ,israel from  
eternity to eternity3  and let all the  
people say ,amen1 and a hymn to ,god4   
#af3cg4 ,so he left there before the ark
 of the covenant of the ,lord1  ,asaph  
and his brethren to minister in the     
presence of the ark  continually day by 
day1 and in their courses4    #af3ch4   
,and ,obededom1 with his brethren       
sixty-eight3 and ,obededom the son  of  
,idithun1 and ,hosa he appointed to be  
porters4    #af3ci4 ,and ,sadoc the     
priest1 and his brethren priests1 before
 the  tabernacle of the ,lord in the    
high place1 which was in ,gabaon4       

#af3dj4 ,that they should offer         
holocausts to the ,lord upon the altar  
of  holocausts continually1 morning and 
evening1 according to all that is       
written in the law of the ,lord1 which  
he commanded ,israel4    #af3da4 ,and   
after him ,heman1 and ,idithun1 and the 
rest that were chosen1  every one by his
 name to give praise to the ,lord3      
because his mercy  endureth for ever4   
#af3db4 ,and ,heman and ,idithun sounded
 the trumpet1 and played on the         
cymbals1 and all kinds of musical       
instruments to sing praises to ,god3    
and the sons of ,idithun he made        
porters4    #af3dc4 ,and all the people 
returned to their houses3 and ,david to 
bless  also his own house4    #a        
,paralipomenon ,chapter #ag    ,david's 
purpose to build a temple1 is rewarded  
by most ample promises3  ,david's       
thanksgiving4    #ag3a4 ,now when ,david
 was dwelling in his house1 he said to  
,nathan the  prophet3 ,behold ,i dwell  
in a house of cedar3 and the ark of the 

covenant  of the ,lord is under skins4  
#ag3b4 ,and ,nathan said to ,david3 ,do 
all that is in thy heart3 for ,god is   
with thee4    #ag3c4 ,now that night the
 word of ,god came to ,nathan1 saying3  
#ag3d4 ,go1 and speak to ,david my      
servant3 ,thus saith the ,lord3 ,thou   
shalt  not build me a house to dwell in4
    #ag3e4 ,for ,i have not remained in 
a house from the time that ,i brought up
  ,israel1 to this day3 but ,i have been
 always changing places in a            
tabernacle1 and in a tent1    #ag3f4    
,abiding with all ,israel4 ,did ,i ever 
speak to any one1 of all the  judges of 
,israel whom ,i charged to feed my      
people1 saying3 ,why have you  not built
 me a house of cedar8    #ag3g4 ,now    
therefore thus shalt thou say to my     
servant ,david3 ,thus saith  the ,lord  
of hosts3 ,i took thee from the         
pastures1 from following the  flock1    
that thou shouldst be ruler of my people
 ,israel4    #ag3h4 ,and ,i have been   
with thee whithersoever thou hast gone3 

and have  slain all thy enemies before  
thee1 and have made thee a name like    
that  of one of the great ones that are 
renowned in the earth4    #ag3i4 ,and ,i
 have given a place my people ,israel3  
they shall be planted1  and shall dwell 
therein1 and shall be moved no more1    
neither shall the  children of iniquity 
waste them1 as at the beginning1        
#ag3aj4 ,since the days that ,i gave    
judges to my people ,israel1 and have   
humbled all thy enemies4 ,and ,i declare
 to thee1 that the ,lord will build     
thee a house4    #ag3aa4 ,and when thou 
shalt have ended thy days to go to thy  
fathers1 ,i  will raise up thy seed     
after thee1 which shall be of thy sons3 
and ,i  will establish his kingdom4     
#ag3ab4 ,he shall build me a house1 and 
,i will establish his throne for  ever4 
#ag3ac4 ,i will be to him a father1 and 
he shall be to me a son3 and ,i  will   
not take my mercy away from him1 as ,i  
took it from him that was  before thee4 
#ag3ad4 ,but ,i will settle him in my   

house1 and in my kingdom for ever3  and 
his throne shall be most firm for ever4 
#ag3ae4 ,according to all these words1  
and according to all this vision1  so   
did ,nathan speak to ,david4    #ag3af4 
,and king ,david came and sat before the
 ,lord1 and said3 ,who am ,i1  ,o ,lord 
,god1 and what is my house1 that thou   
shouldst give such things to  me8       
#ag3ag4 ,but even this hath seemed      
little in thy sight1 and therefore thou 
hast also spoken concerning the house of
 thy servant for the time to  come3 and 
hast made me remarkable above all men1  
,o ,lord ,god4    #ag3ah4 ,what can     
,david add more1 seeing thou hast thus  
glorified thy  servant1 and known him8  
#ag3ai4 ,o ,lord1 for thy servant's     
sake1 according to thy own heart1 thou  
hast shewn all this magnificence1 and   
wouldst have all the great things  to be
 known4    #ag3bj4 ,o ,lord there is    
none like thee3 and here is no other    
,god beside  thee1 of all whom we have  
heard of with our ears4    #ag3ba4 ,for 

what other nation is there upon earth   
like thy people ,israel1  whom ,god went
 to deliver1 and make a people for      
himself1 and by his  greatness and      
terrors cast out nations before their   
face whom he had  delivered out of      
,egypt8    #ag3bb4 ,and thou hast made  
thy people ,israel to be thy own people 
for  ever1 and thou1 ,o ,lord1 art      
become their ,god4    #ag3bc4 ,now      
therefore1 ,o ,lord1 let the word which 
thou hast spoken to thy  servant1 and   
concerning his house1 be established for
 ever1 and do as  thou hast said4       
#ag3bd4 ,and let thy name remain and be 
magnified for ever3 and let it be  said3
 ,the ,lord of hosts is ,god of ,israel1
 and the house of ,david his  servant   
remaineth before him4    #ag3be4 ,for   
thou1 ,o ,lord my ,god1 hast revealed to
 the ear of thy servant1  that thou wilt
 build him a house3 and therefore thy   
servant hath found  confidence to pray  
before thee4    #ag3bf4 ,and now ,o     
,lord1 thou art ,god3 and thou hast     

promised to thy  servant such great     
benefits4    #ag3bg4 ,and thou hast     
begun to bless the house of thy servant1
 that it  may be always before thee3 for
 seeing thou blessest it1 ,o ,lord1 it  
shall  be blessed for ever4    #a       
,paralipomenon ,chapter #ah    ,david's 
victories4 ,his chief officers4         
#ah3a4 ,and it came to pass after this1 
that ,david defeated the  ,philistines1 
and humbled them1 and took away ,geth1  
and her daughters out  of the hands of  
the ,philistines1    #ah3b4 ,and he     
defeated ,moab1 and the ,moabites were  
made ,david's servants1  and brought him
 gifts4    #ah3c4 ,at that time ,david  
defeated also ,adarezer king of ,soba of
 the land  of ,hemath1 when he went to  
extend his dominions as far as the river
  ,euphrates4    #ah3d4 ,and ,david took
 from him a thousand chariots1 and seven
 thousand  horsemen1 and twenty thousand
 footmen1 and he houghed all the chariot
  horses1 only a hundred chariots1 which
 he reserved for himself4    #ah3e4 ,and

 the ,syrians of ,damascus came also to 
help ,adarezer king of  ,soba3 and      
,david slew of them likewise two and    
twenty thousand men4    #ah3f4 ,and he  
put a garrison in ,damascus1 that ,syria
 also should serve  him1 and bring      
gifts4 ,and the ,lord assisted him in   
all things to which  he went4    #ah3g4 
,and ,david took the golden quivers     
which the servants of ,adarezer  had1   
and he brought them to ,jerusalem4      
#ah3h4 ,likewise out of ,thebath and    
,chun1 cities of ,adarezer1 he brought  
very much brass1 of which ,solomon made 
the brazen sea1 and the pillars1  and   
the vessels of brass4    #ah3i4 ,now    
when ,thou king of ,hemath heard that   
,david had defeated all the  army of    
,adarezer king of ,soba1    #ah3aj4 ,he 
sent ,adoram his son to king ,david to  
desire peace of him1 and  to            
congratulate him that he had defeated   
and overthrown ,adarezer3 for  ,thou was
 an enemy to ,adarezer4    #ah3aa4 ,and 
all the vessels of gold1 and silver and 

brass king ,david  consecrated to the   
,lord1 with the silver and gold which he
 had taken  from all the nations1 as    
well from ,edom1 and from ,moab1 and    
from the  sons of ,ammon1 as from the   
,philistines1 and from ,amalec4         
#ah3ab4 ,and ,abisai the son of ,sarvia 
slew of the ,edomites in the vale of    
the saltpits1 eighteen thousand3        
#ah3ac4 ,and he put a garrison in ,edom1
 that ,edom should serve ,david3 and    
the ,lord preserved ,david in all things
 to which he went4    #ah3ad4 ,so ,david
 reigned over all ,israel1 and executed 
judgment and  justice among all his     
people4    #ah3ae4 ,and ,joab the son of
 ,sarvia was over the army1 and         
,josaphat the  son of ,ahilud recorder4 
#ah3af4 ,and ,sadoc the son of ,achitob1
 and ,achimelech the son of ,abiathar1  
were the priests3 and ,susa1 scribe4    
#ah3ag4 ,and ,banaias the son of ,joiada
 was over the bands of the ,cerethi1    
and the ,phelethi3 and the sons of      
,david were chief about the king4    #a 

,paralipomenon ,chapter #ai    ,the     
,ammonites abuse ,david's ambassadors3  
both they and their  confederates are   
overthrown4    #ai3a4 ,now it came to   
pass that ,naas the king of the children
 of ,ammon  died1 and his son reigned in
 his stead4    #ai3b4 ,and ,david said3 
,i will shew kindness to ,hanon the son 
of ,naas3 for  his father did a favour  
tome4 ,and ,david sent messengers to    
comfort him  upon the death of his      
father4 ,but when they were come into   
the land of  the children of ,ammon1 to 
comfort ,hanon1    #ai3c4 ,the princes  
of the children of ,ammon said to       
,hanon3 ,thou thinkest  perhaps that    
,david to do honour to thy father hath  
sent comforters to  thee3 and thou dost 
not take notice1 that his servants are  
come to thee  to consider1 and search1  
and spy out thy land4    #ai3d4         
,wherefore ,hanon shaved the heads and  
beards of the servants of  ,david1 and  
cut away their garments from the        
buttocks to the feet1 and  sent them    

away4    #ai3e4 ,and when they were     
gone1 they sent word to ,david1 who sent
 to meet  them 7for they had suffered a 
great affront7 and ordered them to stay 
at  ,jericho till their beards grew and 
then to return4    #ai3f4 ,and when the 
children of ,ammon saw that they had    
done an injury to  ,david1 ,hanon and   
the rest of the people sent a thousand  
talents of  silver1 to hire them        
chariots and horsemen out of            
,mesopotamia and out of  ,syria ,maacha1
 and out of ,soba4    #ai3g4 ,and they  
hired two and thirty thousand chariots1 
and the king of  ,maacha1 with his      
people4 ,and they came and camped over  
against ,medaba4  ,and the children of  
,ammon gathered themselves together out 
of their  cities1 and came to battle4   
#ai3h4 ,and when ,david heard of it1 he 
sent ,joab1 and all the army of  valiant
 men3    #ai3i4 ,and the children of    
,ammon came out and put their army in   
array  before the gate of the city3 and 
the kings1 that were come to their aid1 

stood apart in the field4    #ai3aj4    
,wherefore ,joab understanding that the 
battle was set against him  before and  
behind1 chose out the bravest men of all
 ,israel1 and marched  against the      
,syrians1    #ai3aa4 ,and the rest of   
the people he delivered into the hand of
 ,abisai  his brother1 and they went    
against the children of ,ammon4         
#ai3ab4 ,and he said3 ,if the ,syrians  
be too strong for me1 then thou shalt   
help me3 but if the children of ,ammon  
be too strong for thee1 ,i will  help   
thee4    #ai3ac4 ,be of good courage and
 let us behave ourselves manfully for   
our  people1 and for the cities of our  
,god3 and the ,lord will do that which  
is good in his sight4    #ai3ad4 ,so    
,joab and the people that were with him1
 went against the  ,syrians to the      
battle3 and he put them to flight4      
#ai3ae4 ,and the children of ,ammon     
seeing that the ,syrians were fled1 they
  likewise fled from ,abisai his        
brother1 and went into the city3 and    

,joab  also returned to ,jerusalem4     
#ai3af4 ,but the ,syrians seeing that   
they had fallen before ,israel1 sent    
messengers1 and brought to them the     
,syrians that were beyond the river3    
and ,sophach1 general of the army of    
,adarezer1 was their leader4    #ai3ag4 
,and it was told ,david1 and he gathered
 together all ,israel1 and  passed the  
,jordan1 and came upon them1 and put his
 army in array against  them1 and they  
fought with him4    #ai3ah4 ,but the    
,syrian fled before ,israel3 and ,david 
slew of the ,syrians  seven thousand    
chariots1 and forty thousand footmen1   
and ,sophach the  general of the army4  
,seven thousand chariots444 ,that is1 of
 men who fought in chariots4    #ai3ai4 
,and when the servants of ,adarezer saw 
themselves overcome by  ,israel1 they   
went over to ,david1 and served him3 and
 ,syria would not  help the children of 
,ammon any more4    #a ,paralipomenon   
,chapter #bj    ,rabba is taken4 ,other 
victories over the ,philistines4        

#bj3a4 ,and it came to pass after the   
course of a year1 at the time that      
kings go out to battle1 ,joab gathered  
together an army and the strength  of   
the troops1 and wasted the land of the  
children of ,ammon3 and went  and       
besieged ,rabba4 ,but ,david stayed at  
,jerusalem1 when ,joab smote  ,rabba1   
and destroyed it4    #bj3b4 ,and ,david 
took the crown of ,melchom from his     
head1 and found in it  a talent weight  
of gold1 and most precious stones1 and  
he made himself a  diadem of it3 he took
 also the spoils of the city which were 
very great4    #bj3c4 ,and the people   
that were therein he brought out3 and   
made harrows1  and sleds1 and chariots  
of iron to go over them1 so that they   
were cut  and bruised to pieces3 in this
 manner ,david dealt with all the cities
 of  the children of ,ammon3 and he     
returned with all his people to         
,jerusalem4    #bj3d4 ,after this there 
arose a war at ,gazer against the       
,philistines3 in  which ,sabachai the   

,husathite slew ,saphai of the race of  
,raphaim1 and  humbled them4    #bj3e4  
,another battle also was fought against 
the ,philistines1 in which  ,adeodatus  
the son of ,saltus a ,bethlehemite slew 
the brother of ,goliath  the ,gethite1  
the staff of whose spear was like a     
weaver's beam4    #bj3f4 ,there was     
another battle also in ,geth1 in which  
there was a man of  great stature1 whose
 fingers and toes were four and twenty1 
six on each  hand and foot3 who also was
 born of the stock of ,rapha4    #bj3g4 
,he reviled ,israel3 but ,jonathan the  
son of ,samaa the brother of  ,david    
slew him4 ,these were the sons of ,rapha
 in ,geth1 who fell by the  hand of     
,david and his servants4    #a          
,paralipomenon ,chapter #ba    ,david's 
sin in numbering the people is punished 
by a pestilence3 which  ceaseth upon his
 offering sacrifice in the              
thrashingfloor of ,ornan4    #ba3a4 ,and
 ,satan rose up against ,israel3 and    
moved ,david to number  ,israel4        

#ba3b4 ,and ,david said to ,joab1 and to
 the rulers of the people3 ,go1 and     
number ,israel from ,bersabee even to   
,dan1 and bring me the number of them   
that ,i may know it4    #ba3c4 ,and     
,joab answered3 ,the ,lord make his     
people a hundred times more  than they  
are3 but1 my lord the king1 are they not
 all thy servants3 why  doth my lord    
seek this thing1 which may be imputed as
 a sin to ,israel8    #ba3d4 ,but the   
king's word rather prevailed3 and ,joab 
departed1 and went  through all ,israel3
 and returned to ,jerusalem4    #ba3e4  
,and he gave ,david the number of them1 
whom he had surveyed3 and  all the      
number of ,israel was found to be eleven
 hundred thousand men  that drew the    
sword3 and of ,juda four hundred and    
seventy thousand  fighting men4    ,the 
number1 etc444 ,the difference of the   
numbers here and #b ,kings #bd4 is  to  
be accounted for1 by supposing the      
greater number to be that which  was    
really found1 and the lesser to be that 

which ,joab gave in4    #ba3f4 ,but     
,levi and ,benjamin he did not number3  
for ,joab unwillingly  executed the     
king's orders4    #ba3g4 ,and ,god was  
displeased with this thing that was     
commanded3 and he  struck ,israel4      
#ba3h4 ,and ,david said to ,god3 ,i have
 sinned exceedingly in doing this3 ,i   
beseech thee take away the iniquity of  
thy servant1 for ,i have done           
foolishly4    #ba3i4 ,and the ,lord     
spoke to ,gad the seer of ,david1       
saying3    #ba3aj4 ,go1 and speak to    
,david1 and tell him3 ,thus saith the   
,lord3 ,i give  thee the choice of three
 things3 choose one which thou wilt1 and
 ,i will  do it to thee4    #ba3aa4 ,and
 when ,gad was come to ,david1 he said  
to him3 ,thus saith the  ,lord3 choose  
which thou wilt3    #ba3ab4 ,either     
three years famine3 or three months to  
flee from thy  enemies1 and not to be   
able to escape their sword3 or three    
days to have  the sword of the ,lord1   
and pestilence in the land1 and the     

angel of the  ,lord destroying in all   
the coasts of ,israel3 now therefore see
 what ,i  shall answer him who sent me4 
,three years famine444 ,which joined    
with the three foregoing years of       
famine mentioned1 #b ,kings #ba4 and the
 seventh year of the land's  resting1   
would make up the seven years proposed  
by the prophet1 #b ,kings  #bd4ac4      
#ba3ac4 ,and ,david said to ,gad3 ,i am 
on every side in a great strait3 but  it
 is better for me to fall into the hands
 of the ,lord1 for his mercies  are     
many1 than into the hands of men4       
#ba3ad4 ,so the ,lord sent a pestilence 
upon ,israel4 ,and there fell of        
,israel seventy thousand men4    #ba3ae4
 ,and he sent an angel to ,jerusalem1 to
 strike it3 and as he was  striking it1 
the ,lord beheld1 and took pity for the 
greatness of the  evil3 and said to the 
angel that destroyed3 ,it is enough1 now
 stop thy  hand4 ,and the angel of the  
,lord stood by the thrashingfloor of    
,ornan the  ,jebusite4    ,ornan444     

,otherwise ,areuna4    #ba3af4 ,and     
,david lifting up his eyes1 saw the     
angel of the ,lord standing  between    
heaven and earth1 with a drawn sword in 
his hand1 turned against  ,jerusalem3   
and both he and the ancients clothed in 
haircloth1 fell down  flat on the       
ground4    #ba3ag4 ,and ,david said to  
,god3 ,am not ,i he that commanded the  
people to  be numbered8 ,it is ,i that  
have sinned3 it is ,i that have done the
 evil3  but as for this flock1 what hath
 it deserved8 ,o ,lord my ,god1 let thy 
hand be turned1 ,i beseech thee1 upon   
me1 and upon my father's house3 and  let
 not thy people be destroyed4    #ba3ah4
 ,and the angel of the ,lord commanded  
,gad to tell ,david1 to go up1  and     
build an altar to the ,lord ,god in the 
thrashingfloor of ,ornan the  ,jebusite4
    #ba3ai4 ,and ,david went up1        
according to the word of ,gad1 which he 
spoke  to him in the name of the ,lord4 
#ba3bj4 ,now when ,ornan looked up1 and 
saw the angel1 he and his four sons  hid

 themselves3 for at that time he was    
thrashing wheat in the floor4    #ba3ba4
 ,and as ,david was coming to ,ornan1   
,ornan saw him1 and went out of  the    
thrashingfloor to meet him1 and bowed   
down to him with his face to  the       
ground4    #ba3bb4 ,and ,david said to  
him3 ,give me this place of thy         
thrashingfloor1  that ,i may build      
therein an altar to the ,lord3 but thou 
shalt take of me  as much money as it is
 worth1 that the plague may cease from  
the people4    #ba3bc4 ,and ,ornan said 
to ,david3 ,take it1 and let my lord the
 king do all  that pleaseth him3 and    
moreover the oxen also ,i give for a    
holocaust1  and the drays for wood1 and 
the wheat for the sacrifice3 ,i will    
give it  all willingly4    #ba3bd4 ,and 
king ,david said to him3 ,it shall not  
be so1 but ,i will give  thee money as  
much as it is worth3 for ,i must not    
take it from thee1 and  so offer to the 
,lord holocausts free cost4    #ba3be4  
,so ,david gave to ,ornan for the place1

 six hundred sicles of gold  of just    
weight4    ,six hundred sicles1 etc444  
,this was the price of the whole place1 
on  which the temple was afterwards     
built2 but the price of the oxen was    
fifty sicles of silver4 #b ,kings       
#bd4bd4    #ba3bf4 ,and he built there  
an altar to the ,lord3 and he offered   
holocausts1 and peace offerings1 and he 
called upon the ,lord1 and he  heard him
 by sending fire from heaven upon the   
altar of the holocaust4    #ba3bg4 ,and 
the ,lord commanded the angel3 and he   
put up his sword again  into the sheath4
    #ba3bh4 ,and ,david seeing that the 
,lord had heard him in the              
thrashingfloor of ,ornan the ,jebusite1 
forthwith offered victims there4        
#ba3bi4 ,but the tabernacle of the      
,lord1 which ,moses made in the desert1 
and the altar of holocausts1 was at that
 time in the high place of  ,gabaon4    
#ba3cj4 ,and ,david could not go to the 
altar there to pray to ,god3 for he  was
 seized with an exceeding great fear1   

seeing the sword of the angel  of the   
,lord4    #a ,paralipomenon ,chapter #bb
    ,david having prepared all          
necessaries1 chargeth ,solomon to build 
the  temple and the princes to assist   
him4    #bb3a4 ,then ,david said3 ,this 
is the house of ,god1 ,and this is the  
altar  for the holocaust of ,israel4    
#bb3b4 ,and he commanded to gather      
together all the proselytes of the land 
of ,israel1 and out of them he appointed
 stonecutters to hew stones and  polish 
them1 to build the house of ,god4       
#bb3c4 ,and ,david prepared in abundance
 iron for the nails of the gates1  and  
for the closures and joinings3 and of   
brass an immense weight4    #bb3d4 ,and 
the cedar trees were without number1    
which the ,sidonians1 and  ,tyrians     
brought to ,david4    #bb3e4 ,and ,david
 said3 ,solomon my son is very young and
 tender1 and the  house which ,i would  
have to be built to the ,lord1 must be  
such as to be  renowned in all          
countries3 therefore ,i will prepare him

 necessaries4 ,and  therefore before his
 death he prepared all the charges4     
#bb3f4 ,and he called for ,solomon his  
son3 and commanded him to build a  house
 to the ,lord the ,god of ,israel4      
#bb3g4 ,and ,david said to ,solomon3 ,my
 son1 it was my desire to have built  a 
house to the name of the ,lord my ,god4 
#bb3h4 ,but the word of the ,lord came  
to me1 saying3 ,thou hast shed much     
blood1 and fought many battles1 so thou 
cannot not build house to my  name1     
after shedding so much blood before me3 
#bb3i4 ,the son1 that shall be born to  
thee1 shall be a most quiet man3  for ,i
 will make him rest from all his enemies
 round about3 and therefore  he shall be
 called ,peaceable3 and ,i will give    
peace and quietness to  ,israel all his 
days4    #bb3aj4 ,he shall build a house
 to my name1 and he shall be a son to   
me1  and ,i will be a father to him3 and
 ,i will establish the throne of his    
kingdom over ,israel for ever4          
#bb3aa4 ,now then1 my son1 the ,lord be 

with thee1 and do thou prosper1 and     
build the house to the ,lord thy ,god1  
as he hath spoken of thee4    #bb3ab4   
,the ,lord also give thee wisdom and    
understanding1 that thou  mayest be able
 to rule ,israel1 and to keep the law of
 the ,lord thy ,god4    #bb3ac4 ,for    
then thou shalt be able to prosper1 if  
thou keep the  commandments1 and        
judgments1 which the ,lord commanded    
,moses to teach  ,israel3 take courage  
and act manfully1 fear not1 nor be      
dismayed4    #bb3ad4 ,behold ,i in my   
poverty have prepared the charges of the
 house of  the ,lord1 of gold a hundred 
thousand talents1 and of silver a       
million of  talents3 but of brass1 and  
of iron there is no weight1 for the     
abundance  surpasseth all account3      
timber also and stones ,i have prepared 
for all  the charges4    #bb3ae4 ,thou  
hast also workmen in abundance1 hewers  
of stones1 and  masons1 and carpenters1 
and of all trades the most skilful in   
their  work1    #bb3af4 ,in gold1 and in

 silver1 and in brass1 and in iron1     
whereof there  is no number4 ,arise     
then1 and be doing1 and the ,lord will  
be with thee4    #bb3ag4 ,david also    
charged all the princes of ,israel1 to  
help ,solomon his  son1    #bb3ah4      
,saying3 ,you see1 that the ,lord your  
,god is with you1 and hath  given you   
rest round about1 and hath delivered all
 your enemies into  your hands1 and the 
land is subdued before the ,lord1 and   
before his  people4    #bb3ai4 ,give    
therefore your hearts and your souls1 to
 seek the ,lord your  ,god and arise1   
and build a sanctuary to the ,lord ,god1
 that the ark of  the covenant of the   
,lord1 and the vessels consecrated to   
the ,lord1 may  be brought into the     
house1 which is built to the name of the

he gathered together all the princes of

#bc3c4 ,and the ,levites were numbered  
from the age of thirty years1 and       
upwards3 and there were found of them   
thirty-eight thousand men4    #bc3d4 ,of

four4    #bc3aa4 ,and ,leheth was the   
first1 ,ziza the second3 but ,jaus and  
,baria had  not many children1 and      
therefore they were counted in one

commandments4    #a ,paralipomenon      
,chapter #bi    ,david by word and      
example encourageth the princes to      
contribute  liberally to the building of
 the temple4 ,his thanksgiving1 prayer1 
and  sacrifices3 his death4    #bi3a4   
,and king ,david said to all the        
assembly3 ,solomon my son1 whom  alone  
,god hath chosen1 is as yet young and   
tender3 and the work is  great1 for a   
house is prepared not for man1 but for  
,god4    #bi3b4 ,and ,i with all my     
ability have prepared the expenses for  
the house  of my ,god4 ,gold for vessels
 of gold1 and silver for vessels of     
silver1  brass for things of brass1 iron
 for things of iron1 wood for things of 
wood3 and onyx stones1 and stones like  
alabaster1 and of divers colours1  and  
all manner of precious stones1 and      
marble of ,paros in great  abundance4   
#bi3c4 ,now over and above the things   
which ,i have offered into the house  of
 my ,god ,i give of my own proper goods1

 gold and silver for the temple  of my  
,god1 beside what things ,i have        
prepared for the holy house4    #bi3d4  
,three thousand talents of gold of the  
gold of ,ophir3 and seven  thousand     
talents of refined silver1 to overlay   
the walls of the temple4    #bi3e4 ,and 
gold for wheresoever there is need of   
gold3 and silver for  wheresoever there 
is need of silver1 for the works to be  
made by the  hands of the artificers3   
now if any man is willing to offer1 let 
him  fill his hand to day1 and offer    
what he pleaseth to the ,lord4    #bi3f4
 ,then the heads of the families1 and   
the princes of the tribes of  ,israel   
and the captains of thousands1 and of   
hundreds1 and the overseers  of the     
king's possessions promised1    #bi3g4  
,and they gave for the works of the     
house of the ,lord1 of gold1  five      
thousand talents1 and ten thousand      
solids3 of silver ten thousand  talents3
 and of brass eighteen thousand talents3
 and of iron a hundred  thousand        

talents4    #bi3h4 ,and all they that   
had stones1 gave them to the treasures  
of the  house of the ,lord1 by the hand 
of ,jahiel the ,gersonite4    #bi3i4    
,and the people rejoiced1 when they     
promised their offerings  willingly3    
because they offered them to the ,lord  
with all their heart3  and ,david the   
king rejoiced also with a great joy4    
#bi3aj4 ,and he blessed the ,lord before
 all the multitude1 and he said3        
,blessed art thou1 ,o ,lord the ,god of 
,israel1 our father from eternity to    
eternity4    #bi3aa4 ,thine1 ,o ,lord1  
is magnificence1 and power1 and glory1  
and  victory3 and to thee is praise3 for
 all that is in heaven1 and in earth1   
is thine3 thine is the kingdom1 ,o      
,lord1 and thou art above all princes4  
#bi3ab4 ,thine are riches1 and thine is 
glory1 thou hast dominion over  all1 in 
thy hand is power and might3 in thy hand
 greatness1 and the  empire of all      
things4    #bi3ac4 ,now therefore our   
,god we give thanks to thee1 and we     

praise thy  glorious name4    #bi3ad4   
,who am ,i1 and what is my people1 that 
we should be able to  promise thee all  
these things8 all things are thine3 and 
we have given  thee what we received of 
thy hand4    #bi3ae4 ,for we are        
sojourners before thee1 and strangers1  
as were all our  fathers4 ,i ,our days  
upon earth are as a shadow1 and there is
 no stay4    #bi3af4 ,o ,lord our ,god1 
all this store that we have prepared to 
build  thee a house for thy holy name1  
is from thy hand1 and all things are    
thine4    #bi3ag4 ,i know my ,god that  
thou provest hearts1 and lovest         
simplicity1  wherefore ,i also in the   
simplicity of my heart1 have joyfully   
offered  all these things3 and ,i have  
seen with great joy thy people1 which   
are  here present1 offer thee their     
offerings4    #bi3ah4 ,o ,lord ,god of  
,abraham1 and of ,isaac1 and of ,israel 
our fathers1  keep for ever this will of
 their heart1 and let this mind remain  
always  for the worship of thee4        

#bi3ai4 ,and give to ,solomon my son a  
perfect heart1 that he may keep thy     
commandments1 thy testimonies1 and thy  
ceremonies1 and do all things3  and     
build the house1 for which ,i have      
provided the charges4    #bi3bj4 ,and   
,david commanded all the assembly3      
,bless ye the ,lord our ,god4  ,and all 
the assembly blessed the ,lord the ,god 
of their fathers3 and they  bowed       
themselves and worshipped ,god1 and then
 the king4    #bi3ba4 ,and they         
sacrificed victims to the ,lord3 and    
they offered  holocausts the next day1 a
 thousand bullocks1 a thousand rams1 a  
thousand lambs1 with their libations1   
and with every thing prescribed  most   
abundantly for all ,israel4    #bi3bb4  
,and they ate1 and drank before the     
,lord that day with great joy4  ,and    
they anointed the second time ,solomon  
the son of ,david4 ,and they  anointed  
him to the ,lord to be prince1 and      
,sadoc to be high priest4    #bi3bc4    
,and ,solomon sat on the throne of the  

,lord as king instead of  ,david his    
father1 and he pleased all3 and all     
,israel obeyed him4    #bi3bd4 ,and all 
the princes1 and men of power1 and all  
the sons of king  ,david gave their     
hand1 and were subject to ,solomon the  
king4    #bi3be4 ,and the ,lord         
magnified ,solomon over all ,israel3 and
 gave him the  glory of a reign1 such as
 no king of ,israel had before him4     
#bi3bf4 ,so ,david the son of ,isai     
reigned over all ,israel4    #bi3bg4    
,and the days that he reigned over      
,israel1 were forty years3 in  ,hebron  
he reigned seven years1 and in          
,jerusalem three and thirty years4      
#bi3bh4 ,and he died in a good age1 full
 of days1 and riches1 and glory4  ,and  
,solomon his son reigned in his stead4  
#bi3bi4 ,now the acts of king ,david    
first and last are written in the book  
of ,samuel the seer1 and in the book of 
,nathan the prophet1 and in the  book of
 ,gad the seer3    #bi3cj4 ,and of all  
his reign1 and his valour1 and of the   

times that  passed under him1 either in 
,israel1 or in all the kingdoms of the  
countries4
