+    <verse no='16'>And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son  of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that  dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and  Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were  porters in the companies of the children of Levi.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of  Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites,  were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the  tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were  keepers of the entry.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in  time past, and the LORD was with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door  of the tabernacle of the congregation.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were  two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their  villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set  office.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of  the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west,  north, and south.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to  come after seven days from time to time with them.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set  office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And they lodged round about the house of God, because the  charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained  to them.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And certain of them had the charge of the ministering  vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and  all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine,  and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the  spices.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of  Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made  in the pans.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites,  were over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the  Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were  employed in that work day and night.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout  their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose  wife's name was Maachah:</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of  Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount  Gilboa.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his  sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua,  the sons of Saul.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit  him, and he was wounded of the archers.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and  thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse  me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul  took a sword, and fell upon it.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell  likewise on the sword, and died.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died  together.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw  that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook  their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came  to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount  Gilboa.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his  armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry  tidings unto their idols, and to the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and  fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had  done to Saul,</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of  Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and  buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>So Saul died for his transgression which he committed  against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not,  and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to  enquire of it;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and  turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='11'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron,  saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus;  where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the  city of David.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he built the city round about, even from Millo round  about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts  was with him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who  was one of the three mighties.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines'  garrison was then at Bethlehem.</verse>
+    <verse no='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!</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he  was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the  name among the three mighties.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not  to the first three: and David set him over his guard.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother  of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,</verse>

+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the  hold unto David.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>

+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='13'>
+    <verse no='1'>And David consulted with the captains of thousands and  hundreds, and with every leader.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we  enquired not at it in the days of Saul.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the  thing was right in the eyes of all the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza  put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach  upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I  bring the ark of God home to me?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>

+  <chapter no='14'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber  of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more  sons and daughters.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Now these are the names of his children which he had in  Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,</verse>

+    <verse no='7'>And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley  of Rephaim.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the  Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD  said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when they had left their gods there, David gave a  commandment, and they were burned with fire.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in  the valley.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the  host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.</verse>

+    <verse no='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.</verse>

+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:</verse>

+    <verse no='11'>And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for  the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and  Amminadab,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to  bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their  brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and  harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to  sound with cymbals of brass;</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and  Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom,  and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he  instructed about the song, because he was skilful.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='16'>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets  continually before the ark of the covenant of God.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank  the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known  his deeds among the people.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his  wondrous works.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice  that seek the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his  wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his  chosen ones.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he  commanded to a thousand generations;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his  oath unto Isaac;</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to  Israel for an everlasting covenant,</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of  your inheritance;</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And when they went from nation to nation, and from one  kingdom to another people;</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings  for their sakes,</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to  day his salvation.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works  among all nations.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is  to be feared above all gods.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made  the heavens.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness  are in his place.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the  LORD glory and strength.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be  stable, that it be not moved.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let  men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields  rejoice, and all that is therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of  the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy  endureth for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all  the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='38'>And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight;  Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:</verse>
+    <verse no='39'>And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before  the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='43'>And all the people departed every man to his house: and  David returned to bless his house.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='17'>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart;  for God is with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God  came to Nathan, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou  shalt not build me an house to dwell in:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne  for ever.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for  ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>According to all these words, and according to all this  vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy  servant? for thou knowest thy servant.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for  ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness  unto thy servant:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='18'>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants,  and brought gifts.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he  went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven  thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all  the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king  of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants  of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer,  brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea,  and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all  the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his  welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against  Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with  him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in  the valley of salt eighteen thousand.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became  David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and  justice among all his people.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and  Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of  Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and  the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='19'>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of  Nahash, because his father shewed 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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host  of the mighty men.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before  the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='20'>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea  David's brother slew him.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the  hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='21'>
+    <verse no='1'>And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to  number Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab.  Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to  Jerusalem.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the  king's word was abominable to Joab.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote  Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the  LORD, Choose thee</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of  Israel seventy thousand men.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in  the name of the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons  with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of  gold by weight.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword  again into the sheath thereof.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him  in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he  was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='22'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this  is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of  Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build  an house for the LORD God of Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help  Solomon his son, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='23'>
+    <verse no='1'>So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his  son king over Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the  priests and the Levites.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand  praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to  praise therewith.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi,  namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and  Joel, three.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three.  These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and  Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of  the tribe of Levi.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And  Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second,  Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the  second.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli;  Eleazar, and Kish.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their  brethren the sons of Kish took them.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto  his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the  tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered  from twenty years old and above:</verse>
+    <verse no='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;</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Both for the shewbread, 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;</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and  likewise at even:</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='24'>
+    <verse no='1'>Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons  of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no  children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to  Jedaiah,</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,</verse>

+    <verse no='20'>And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of  Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.</verse>

+    <verse no='25'>The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah;  Zechariah.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of  Jaaziah; Beno.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur,  and Ibri.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These  were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the  sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and  Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites,  even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='25'>
+    <verse no='1'>Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the  service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should  prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number  of the workmen according to their service was:</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and  Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied  according to the order of the king.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and  Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their  father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to  praise the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel,  Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and  Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the  words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons  and three daughters.</verse>

+    <verse no='28'>And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in  the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil  was Joash:</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the  Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the  son of Adlai:</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the  asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were  the rulers of the substance which was king David's.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>And Ahithophel was the king's counsellor: and Hushai the  Archite was the king's companion:</verse>

+  <chapter no='28'>
+    <verse no='1'>And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes  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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be  constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an  house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for  every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the  cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason;  and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing  by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='29'>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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?</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy  glorious name.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead  of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons  likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and  honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.</verse>
+    <verse no='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,</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
