\VS{39}And there they were with
David
three
days,
eating and
drinking: for their
brethren had
prepared for them.

\VS{40}Moreover they that were
nigh them,
{\ADD{even}} unto
Issachar and
Zebulun and
Naphtali,
brought
bread on
asses, and on
camels, and on
mules, and on
oxen,
{\ADD{and}}
meat,
meal,
cakes of figs, and bunches of
raisins, and
wine, and
oil, and
oxen, and

abundantly: for
{\ADD{there was}}
joy in
Israel.\FTNT{†††}{{\FR 12.40 }{\FT{meat…: or, victual of meal}}}




\par }\Chap{13}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
David
consulted with the
captains of
thousands and
hundreds,
{\ADD{and}} with every
leader.

\VS{2}And
David
said unto all the
congregation of
Israel, If
{\ADD{it seem}}
good unto you, and
{\ADD{that it be}} of the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God, let us
send
abroad unto our
brethren every where,
{\ADD{that are}}
left in all the
land of
Israel, and with them
{\ADD{also}} to the
priests and
Levites
{\ADD{which are}} in their
cities
{\ADD{and}}
suburbs, that they may
gather themselves unto us:\FTNT{*}{{\FR 13.2 }{\FT{send…: Heb. break forth and send}}}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 13.2 }{\FT{in their…: Heb. in the cities of their suburbs}}}

\VS{3}And let us bring
again the
ark of our
God to us: for we
enquired not at it in the
days of
Saul.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 13.3 }{\FT{bring…: Heb. bring about}}}

\VS{4}And all the
congregation
said that they would do
so: for the
thing was
right in the
eyes of all the
people.

\VS{5}So
David
gathered all
Israel
together, from
Shihor of
Egypt even unto the
entering of
Hemath, to
bring the
ark of
God from
Kirjath-jearim.

\VS{6}And
David went
up, and all
Israel, to
Baalah,
{\ADD{that is}}, to
Kirjath-jearim, which
{\ADD{belonged}} to
Judah, to bring
up thence the
ark of
God the
{\ND{LORD}}, that
dwelleth
{\ADD{between}} the
cherubims, whose
name is
called
{\ADD{on it}}.

\VS{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.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 13.7 }{\FT{carried…: Heb. made the ark to ride}}}

\VS{8}And
David and all
Israel
played
before
God with all
{\ADD{their}}
might, and with
singing, and with
harps, and with
psalteries, and with
timbrels, and with
cymbals, and with
trumpets.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 13.8 }{\FT{singing: Heb. songs}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ And when they
came unto the
threshingfloor of
Chidon,
Uzza put
forth his

hold the
ark; for the
oxen
stumbled.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 13.9 }{\FT{Chidon: also called Nachon}}}\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 13.9 }{\FT{stumbled: or, shook it}}}

\VS{10}And the
anger of the
{\ND{LORD}} was
kindled against
Uzza, and he
smote him, because he
put his
hand to the
ark: and there he
died
before
God.

\VS{11}And
David was
displeased, because the
{\ND{LORD}} had
made a
breach upon
Uzza: wherefore that
place is
called
Perez-uzza to this
day.\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 13.11 }{\FT{Perez-uzza: that is, The breach of Uzza}}}

\VS{12}And
David was
afraid of
God that
day,
saying,
How shall I
bring the
ark of
God
{\ADD{home}} to me?

\VS{13}So
David
brought not the
ark
{\ADD{home}} to himself to the
city of
David, but carried it
aside into the
house of
Obed-edom the
Gittite.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 13.13 }{\FT{brought: Heb. removed}}}

\VS{14}And the
ark of
God
remained with the
family of
Obed-edom in his
house
three
months. And the
{\ND{LORD}}
blessed the
house of
Obed-edom, and all that he had.




\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Hiram
king of
Tyre
sent
messengers to
David, and
timber of
cedars, with
masons and
carpenters, to
build him an
house.

\VS{2}And
David
perceived that the
{\ND{LORD}} had
confirmed him
king over
Israel, for his
kingdom was lifted
up on
high, because of his
people
Israel.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}¶ And
David
took more
wives at
Jerusalem: and
David
begat more
sons and
daughters.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 14.3 }{\FT{more: Heb. yet}}}

heard that

up to
seek
David. And
David
heard
{\ADD{of it}}, and went
out
against them.

\VS{9}And the
Philistines
came and
spread themselves in the
valley of
Rephaim.

\VS{10}And
David
enquired of
God,
saying, Shall I go
up against the
Philistines? and wilt thou
deliver them into mine
hand? And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto him, Go
up; for I will
deliver them into thine
hand.

\VS{11}So they came
up to
Baal-perazim; 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
Baal-perazim.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 14.11 }{\FT{Baal-perazim: that is, A place of breaches}}}

\VS{12}And when they had
left their

David gave a
commandment, and they were
burned with
fire.

\VS{13}And the
Philistines yet
again spread themselves
abroad in the
valley.

\VS{14}Therefore
David
enquired again of
God; and
God
said unto him, Go not
up
after them; turn
away from them, and
come upon them over
against the mulberry
trees.

\VS{15}And it shall be, when thou shalt
hear a
sound of
going in the
tops of the mulberry
trees,
{\ADD{that}} then thou shalt go
out to
battle: for
God is gone
forth
before thee to
smite the

did as
God
commanded him: and they
smote the
host of the
Philistines from
Gibeon even to
Gazer.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 14.16 }{\FT{Gibeon: also called, Geba}}}

\VS{17}And the

out into all

brought the

{\ADD{David}}
made him
houses in the
city of
David, and
prepared a
place for the

God, and
pitched for it a

David
said, None ought to
carry the

chosen to

minister unto him
for
ever.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 15.2 }{\FT{None…: Heb. It is not to carry the ark of God, but for the Levites}}}

David
gathered all

{\ND{LORD}} unto his
place, which he had
prepared for it.

\VS{4}And
David
assembled the
children of
Aaron, and the

David
called for

Abiathar the
priests, and for the
Levites, for
Uriel,
Asaiah, and
Joel,
Shemaiah, and
Eliel, and
Amminadab,

\VS{12}And
said unto them, Ye
{\ADD{are}} the

sanctify yourselves,
{\ADD{both}} ye and your
brethren, that ye may bring
up the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}}
God of
Israel unto
{\ADD{the place that}} I have
prepared for it.

\VS{13}For because ye
{\ADD{did it}} not at the
first, the
{\ND{LORD}} our
God made a
breach upon us, for that we
sought him not after the due
order.

\VS{14}So the
priests and the
Levites
sanctified themselves to bring
up the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}}
God of
Israel.

\VS{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
{\ND{LORD}}.

\VS{16}And
David
spake to the
chief of the
Levites to
appoint their
brethren
{\ADD{to be}} the
singers with
instruments of
musick,
psalteries and
harps and
cymbals,
sounding, by lifting
up the
voice with
joy.

\VS{17}So the
Levites
appointed
Heman the
son of
Joel; and of his
brethren,
Asaph the
son of
Berechiah; and of the

Merari their

David, and the
elders of
Israel, and the
captains over

went to bring
up the

Obed-edom with
joy.

\VS{26}And it came to pass, when
God
helped the
Levites that
bare the
ark of the
covenant of the
{\ND{LORD}}, that they
offered
seven
bullocks and
seven
rams.

\VS{27}And
David
{\ADD{was}}
clothed with a

{\ADD{had}} upon him an

up the

shouting, and with
sound of the
cornet, and with
trumpets, and with
cymbals, making a
noise with
psalteries and
harps.

{\ADD{as}} the

covenant of the

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.




\par }\Chap{16}{\PP \VerseOne{1}So they
brought the
ark of
God, and
set it in the

David had
pitched for it: and they
offered burnt

God.

\VS{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

\VS{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
{\ADD{of wine}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}¶ And he
appointed
{\ADD{certain}} of the

before the

record, and to
thank and
praise the

God of
Israel:

next to him
Zechariah,
Jeiel, and
Shemiramoth, and
Jehiel, and
Mattithiah, and
Eliab, and
Benaiah, and
Obed-edom: and
Jeiel with

Do all that

build me an
house to dwell
in:

\VS{5}For I have not dwelt
in an

commanded to
feed my
people,
saying, Why have ye not
built me an
house of
cedars?

\VS{7}Now therefore thus shalt thou
say unto my
servant
David, Thus
saith the
{\ND{LORD}} of
hosts, I
took thee from the
sheepcote,
{\ADD{even}} from
following the
sheep, that thou shouldest be
ruler over my
people
Israel:\FTNT{†}{{\FR 17.7 }{\FT{from following: Heb. from after}}}

\VS{8}And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast
walked, and have cut
off all thine
enemies from

made thee a
name like the
name of the great
men that
{\ADD{are}} in the
earth.

\VS{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,

\VS{10}And since the
time that I
commanded
judges
{\ADD{to be}} over my
people
Israel. Moreover I will
subdue all thine

tell thee that the

\par }{\PP \VS{11}¶ And it shall come to pass, when thy

up thy
seed
after thee, which shall be of thy
sons; and I will
establish his
kingdom.

\VS{12}He shall
build me an

stablish his

settle him in mine

\VS{15}According to all these
words, and according to all this

Nathan
speak unto

redeemed out of

\VS{22}For thy

Israel didst thou
make thine own

{\ADD{let}} the

{\ADD{be}}
established
before thee.

\VS{25}For thou, O my

build him an

pray
before thee.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 17.25 }{\FT{hast…: Heb. hast revealed the ear of thy servant}}}

said to
Hanun,

came and
pitched
before
Medeba. And the
children of
Ammon gathered themselves
together from their

came to
battle.

\VS{8}And when

heard

sent
Joab, and all the

out, and put the

saw that the

\VS{13}Be of good

\VS{14}So
Joab and the

nigh

fled
before him.

\VS{15}And when the

saw that the

fled
before

entered into the

Joab
came to
Jerusalem.

saw that they were put to the

sent
messengers, and drew
forth the

Shophach the

{\ADD{went}}
before them.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 19.16 }{\FT{river: that is, Euphrates}}}\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 19.16 }{\FT{Shophach: also called, Shobach}}}

David had put the

against the

fought with him.

fled

David
slew of the

\VS{19}And when the

tarried at

Joab
smote

destroyed it.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 20.1 }{\FT{after…: Heb. at the return of the year}}}

heaven, having a
drawn
sword in his

out over
Jerusalem. Then
David and the
elders

clothed in

fell upon their

David
said unto

Take

lo, I
give
{\ADD{thee}} the
oxen
{\ADD{also}} for burnt
offerings, and the threshing
instruments for
wood, and the
wheat for the meat
offering; I
give it all.

\VS{24}And
king
David
said to
Ornan, Nay; but I will
verily
buy it for the
full
price: for I will not
take
{\ADD{that}} which
{\ADD{is}} thine for the

offer burnt
offerings without
cost.

\VS{25}So
David
gave to
Ornan for the
place
six
hundred
shekels of
gold by
weight.

\VS{26}And
David
built there an
altar unto the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
offered burnt
offerings and peace
offerings, and
called upon the
{\ND{LORD}}; and he
answered him from
heaven by
fire upon the
altar of burnt
offering.

\VS{27}And the

again into the

king.\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 29.24 }{\FT{submitted…: Heb. gave the hand under Solomon}}}

\VS{25}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
magnified
Solomon
exceedingly in the
sight of all
Israel, and
bestowed upon him
{\ADD{such}}
royal
majesty as had not been on any
king
before him in
Israel.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}¶ Thus
David the
son of
Jesse
reigned over all
Israel.

\VS{27}And the
time that he
reigned over
Israel
{\ADD{was}}
forty
years;
seven
years
reigned he in
Hebron, and
thirty and
three
{\ADD{years}}
reigned he in
Jerusalem.

\VS{28}And he
died in a
good old
age,
full of
days,
riches, and
honour: and
Solomon his
son
reigned in his stead.

\VS{29}Now the
acts of
David the
king,
first and
last, behold, they
{\ADD{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,\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 29.29 }{\FT{book: or, history: Heb. words}}}

\VS{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.
