19:10	When Joab saw that there was a battle line in front of him and another behind him, he chose some men out of allIsrael’s thefinest eliteyoung troopsmen of Israel and lined up in battle formation to engage the Arameans.
19:11	He placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai,. andThey they lined up in battle formation to engage the Ammonites.
19:13	Be strong! WeLet’s must prove ourselves strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the Lord’s will be done.”
19:16	When the Arameans realized that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers to summon the Arameans who were acrossbeyond the Euphrates River. They were led by Shophach, the commander of Hadadezer’s army.
19:17	When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel and crossed the Jordan. He came up to the Arameans and lined up in battle formation against them. When David lined up to engage them in battle, they fought against him.
19:18	But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed 7,000seven thousand of their charioteers and 40,000forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach, commander of the army.
20:2	Then David took the crown from the head of their king, and it was placed on David’s head. He found that the crown weighed 75seventy-five pounds of gold, and there was a precious stone in it. In addition, David took away a large quantity of plunder from the city.
20:4	After this, a war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the giantsRephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
20:5	Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath theof GittiteGath. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20:6	There was still another battle at Gath where there was a man of extraordinary stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot —24 twenty-four in all. He, too, was descended from the giant.
21:1	Satan stoodrose up against Israel and incited David to count the people of Israel.
21:3	Joab replied, “May the Lord multiply the number of Hishis people a hundred times over! My lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”
21:5	Joab gave the total troop registration to David. In all Israel there were 1,100,000one swordsmenmillion one hundred thousand armed men and in Judah itself 470,000four swordsmenhundred seventy thousand armed men.
21:7	This command was also evil in God’s sight, so Hehe afflicted Israel.
21:8	David said to God, “I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing. Now, please take away Youryour servant’s guilt, for I’ve been very foolish.”
21:12	three years of famine, or three months of devastation by your foes with the sword of your enemy overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the Lord  — a plague on the land, the angel of the Lord bringing destruction to the whole territory of Israel.’ Now decide what answer I should take back to the Oneone who sent me.”
21:13	David answered Gad, “I’m in anguish. Please, let me fall into the Lord’s hands because Hishis mercies are very great, but don’t let me fall into human hands.”
21:14	So the Lord sent a plague on Israel, and 70,000seventy thousand Israelite men died.
21:16	When David looked up and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven, with his drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, David and the elders, clothedcovered in sackcloth, fell down with their faces to the groundfacedown.
21:17	David said to God, “Wasn’t I the one who gave the order to count the people? I am the one who has sinned and acted very wickedly. But these sheep, what have they done? My Lord my God, please let Youryour hand be against me and against my father’s family, but don’t let the plague be against Youryour people.”
21:20	Ornan was threshing wheat when he turned and saw the angel. His four sons, who were with him, hid themselves.
21:23	Ornan said to David, “Take it! My lord the king may do whatever he wants. See, I give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for the wood, and the wheat for the grain offering — I give it all.”
21:25	So David gave Ornan 15fifteen pounds of gold for the plot.
21:26	He built an altar to the Lord there and offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. He called on the Lord, and Hehe answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
21:29	The tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the desertwilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at the high place in Gibeon,
22:2	So David gave orders to gather the foreignersresident aliens that were in the land of Israel, and he appointed stonecutters to cut finished stones for building God’s house.
22:3	David supplied a great deal of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gatewaysgates and for the fittings, together with an immeasurable quantity of bronze,
22:5	David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly great and famous and glorious in all the lands. Therefore, I mustwill make provision for it.” So David made lavish preparations for it before his death.
22:6	Then he summoned his son Solomon and instructedcharged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel.
22:7	“My son,” David said to Solomon, “It was in my heart to build a house for the name of Yahwehthe Lord my God,
22:8	but the word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for Mymy name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Meme.
22:10	He is the one who will build a house for Mymy name. He will be Mymy son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
22:11	“Now, my son, may the Lord be with you, and may you succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, as Hehe said about you.
22:12	Above all, may the Lord give you insight and understanding when Hehe puts you in charge of Israel so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
22:14	“Notice I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the Lord  — 3,775 tons of gold, 37,750 tons of silver, and bronze and iron that can’t be weighed because there is so much of it. I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more to them.
22:16	in gold, silver, bronze, and iron — beyond number. Now begin the work, and may the Lord be with you.”
22:18	“The Lord your God is with you, isn’t Hehe? And hasn’t Hehe given you rest on every side? For Hehe has handed the land’s inhabitants over to me, and the land has been subdued before the Lord and Hishis people.
22:19	Now determine in your mind and heart to seek the Lord your God. Get started building the Lord God’s sanctuary so that you may bring the ark of the Lord’s covenant and the holy articles of God to the temple that is to be built for the name of Yahwehthe Lord.”
23:3	The Levites 30thirty years old or more were counted; the total number of men was 38,000thirty-eight thousand by headcount.
23:4	“Of these,” David said, “24,000twenty-four thousand are to be in charge of the work on the Lord’s temple, 6,000six thousand are to be officers and judges,
23:5	4,000four thousand are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000four thousand are to praise the Lord with the instruments that I have made for worship.”
23:8	Ladan’s sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel — three.
23:9	Shimei’s sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran — three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan.
23:10	Shimei’s sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei’s sons — four.
23:11	Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became anone ancestralfamily house and received a single assignment.
23:12	Kohath’s sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel — four.
23:13	Amram’s sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense in the presence of Yahwehthe Lord, to minister to Himhim, and to pronounce blessings in Hishis name forever.
23:15	Moses’s sons: Gershom and Eliezer.
23:23	Mushi’s sons: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth — three.
23:24	These were the sonsdescendants of Levi by their ancestral housesfamilies  — the family heads of families, according to their registration by name in the headcount —20 twenty years old or more, who worked in the service of the Lord’s temple.
23:25	For David said, “The Lord God of Israel has given rest to Hishis people, and Hehe has come to stay in Jerusalem forever.
23:26	Also, the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the equipment for its service”—”  —
23:27	for according to the last words of David, the Levites 20twenty years old or more were to be counted —
23:28	“but their duty will be to assist the sonsdescendants of Aaron with the service of the Lord’s temple, being responsible for the courts and the chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of God’s temple —
23:29	as well as the rows of the breadBread of the Presence, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of volume and length.
23:31	Whenever burnt offerings are offered to the Lord on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed festivals, they are to dooffer sothem regularly in the Lord’s presence according to the number prescribed for them.
23:32	They are to carry out their responsibilities for the tent of meeting, for the holy place, and for their relatives, the sonsdescendants of Aaron, in the service of the Lord’s temple.”
24:3	Together with Zadok from the sonsdescendants of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the sonsdescendants of Ithamar, David divided them according to the assigned duties of their service.
24:4	Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than Ithamar’s, they were divided accordingly: 16sixteen heads of ancestral housesfamilies were from Eleazar’s descendants, and eight heads of ancestral housesfamilies were from Ithamar’s.
24:6	The secretary, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the officers, Zadok the priest Zadok, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites. One ancestral housefamily was taken for Eleazar, and then one for Ithamar.
24:30	Mushi’s sons: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. Those were the sonsdescendants of the Levites according to their ancestral housesfamilies.

25:31	and the twenty-fourth to Romamti-ezer, his sons, and his brothersrelatives — 12.
26:6	Also, to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their ancestral housesfamilies because they were strong, capable men.
26:7	Shemaiah’s sons: Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothersrelatives Elihu and Semachiah were also capable men.
26:8	All of these were among the sons of Obed-edom with their sons and brothersrelatives; they were capable men with strength for the work —62 sixty-two from Obed-edom.
26:9	Meshelemiah also had sons and brothersrelatives who were capable men —18 eighteen.
26:11	Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothersrelatives of Hosah were 13thirteen in all.
26:12	These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their leading men, had duties for ministering in the Lord’s temple, just as their brothersrelatives did.
26:13	They cast lots for each temple gate according to their ancestral housesfamilies, young and old alike.
26:19	Those were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the sonsdescendants of the Korahites and Merarites.
26:21	From the sons of Ladan, who were the sonsdescendants of the Gershonites through Ladan and were the family heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite: Jehieli.

26:25	His relativerelatives through Eliezer: his son Rehabiah, his son Jeshaiah, his son Joram, his son Zichri, and his son Shelomith.
26:26	This Shelomith and his brothersrelatives were in charge of all the treasuries of what had been dedicated by King David, by the family heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.
26:28	All that Samuel the seer Samuel, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah had dedicated, along with everything else that had been dedicated, were in the care of Shelomith and his brothersrelatives.
26:29	From the Izrahites: Chenaniah and his sons had theduties outside dutiesthe temple as officers and judges over Israel.

27:1	This is the list of the Israelites, the family heads of families, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, and their officers who served the king in every matter to do with the divisions that were on rotated military duty each month throughout the year.

27:23	David didn’t count the men aged 20twenty or under, for the Lord had said Hehe would make Israel as numerous as the stars of heaventhe sky.
28:1	David assembled all the leaders of Israel in Jerusalem: the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the divisions in the king’s service, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and cattle of the king and his sons, along with the court officials, the fighting men, and all the bravebest warriorssoldiers.
28:3	but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for Mymy name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
28:4	“Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me out of all my father’s householdfamily to be king over Israel forever. For Hehe chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah, my father’s householdfamily, and from my father’s sons, Hehe was pleased to make me king over all Israel.
28:5	And out of all my sons  — for the Lord has given me many sons —He he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the Lord’s kingdom over Israel.
28:6	He said to me, ‘Your son Solomon is the one who is to build Mymy house and Mymy courts, for I have chosen him to be Mymy son, and I will be his father.
28:7	I will establish his kingdom forever if he perseveres in keeping Mymy commands and Mymy ordinances as he is doing today.’
28:9	“As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve Himhim withwholeheartedly aand wholewith heart and a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands the intention of every thought. If you seek Himhim, Hehe will be found by you, but if you forsakeabandon Himhim, Hehe will reject you forever.
28:11	Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple and its buildings, treasuries, upperupstairs rooms, inner rooms, and a room for the mercy seat.
28:16	the weight of gold for each table for the rows of the breadBread of the Presence and the silver for the silver tables;
28:19	David concluded, “By the Lord’s hand on me, Hehe enabled me to understand everything in writing, all the details of the plan.”
28:20	Then David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He won’t leave you or forsakeabandon you until all the work for the service of the Lord’s house is finished.
28:21	Here are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing manperson of any skill will be at your disposal for the work, and the leaders and all the people are at your every command.”
29:1	Then King David said to all the assembly, “My son Solomon — God has chosen him alone — is young and inexperienced. The task is great because the templebuilding will not be built for mana human but for the Lord God.
29:9	Then the people rejoiced because of their leaders’ willingness to give, for they had given to the Lord with a whole heartwholeheartedly. King David also rejoiced greatly.
29:10	Then David praisedblessed the Lord in the sight of all the assembly. David said, May Youyou be praisedblessed, Lord God of our father Israel, from eternity to eternity.
29:11	Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to Youyou. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom, and Youyou are exalted as head over all.
29:12	Riches and honor come from Youyou, and Youyou are the ruler of everything. Power and might are in Youryour hand, and it is in Youryour hand to make great and to give strength to all.
29:13	Now therefore, our God, we give Youyou thanks and praise Youryour glorious name.
29:14	But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from Youyou, and we have given Youyou only what comes from Youryour own hand.
29:15	For we liveare beforealiens You as foreigners and temporary residents in Youryour presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
29:16	YahwehLord our God, all this wealth that we’ve provided for building Youyou a house for Youryour holy name comes from Youryour hand; everything belongs to Youyou.
29:17	I know, my God, that Youyou test the heart and that Youyou are pleased with what is right. I have willingly given all these things with an upright heart, and now I have seen Youryour people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to Youyou.
29:18	Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the hearts of Youryour people, and confirm their hearts toward Youyou.
29:19	Give my son Solomon aan wholeundivided heart to keep and to carry out all Youryour commands, Youryour decrees, and Youryour statutes, and to build the templebuilding for which I have made provision.
29:20	Then David said to the whole assembly, “PraiseBlessed be the Lord your God.” So the whole assembly praised the Lord God of their ancestors. They bowedknelt downlow and paid homage to the Lord and the king.
29:21	The following day they offered sacrifices to the Lord and burnt offerings to the Lord: 1,000a thousand bulls, 1,000a thousand rams, and 1,000a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
29:27	The length of his reign over Israel was 40forty years; he reigned in Hebron for seven years and in Jerusalem for 33thirty-three.
29:28	He died at a ripegood old age, full of days, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon became king in his place.
29:29	As for the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, note that they are written in the Events of Samuel the Seer Samuel, the Events of Nathan the Prophet Nathan, and the Events of Gad the Seer Gad,
