16:16	the covenant whichthat he made with Abraham his sworn promise to Isaac

16:19	When they were few in number and of little account and sojournersstrangers in itthe land
16:22	saying TouchDo not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm
16:25	For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; and he is to be heldrevered in awe above all gods
16:26	For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but the Lord made the heavens
16:29	Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him Worship the Lord in holy arraysplendor;

16:38	and also O′bedObed e′domedom and his sixty eight brethrenkinsfolk; while O′bedObed e′domedom the son of Jedu′thunJeduthun and Hosah were to be gatekeepers

17:1	Now when David dweltsettled in his house David said to Nathan the prophet BeholdNathan I dwellam living in a house of cedar but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under a tent
17:2	And Nathan said to David Do all that isyou have in yourmind heart for God is with you
17:3	But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan saying:
17:4	Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the Lord: You shall not build me a house to dwelllive in
17:5	For I have not dweltlived in a house since the day I ledbrought upout Israel to this very day but I have gonelived fromin tenta to tent and froma dwellingtabernacle to dwelling
17:6	InWherever all places where I have moved withabout among all Israel did I ever speak a word with any of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people saying Why have you not built me a house of cedar
17:7	Now therefore thus you shall you say to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pasture from following the sheep thatto you should be princeruler over my people Israel;
17:8	and I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a name like the name of the great ones of the earth
17:9	And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwelllive in their own place and be disturbed no more; and violentevildoers men shall wastewear them down no more as they did formerly
17:11	When your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathersancestors I will raise up your offspring after you one of your own sons and I will establish his kingdom
17:12	He shall build a house for me and I will establish his throne forforever ever
17:13	I will be hisa father to him and he shall be mya son; to me I will not take my steadfast love from him as I took it from him who was before you
17:14	but I will confirm him in my house and in my kingdom forforever ever and his throne shall be established forforever ever
17:15	In accordance with all these words and in accordance with all this vision Nathan spoke to David
17:16	Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said Who am I O Lord God and what is my house that thouyou hasthave brought me thus far
17:17	And even this was a small thing in thyyour eyessight O God; thouyou hasthave also spoken of thyyour servants house for a great while to come andYou hastregard shown me futureas generationssomeone of high rank O Lord God

17:22	And thouyou didstmade makeyour thy people Israel to be thyyour people for everforever; and thouyou O Lord didstbecame become their God
17:23	And now O Lord letas for the word whichthat thouyou hasthave spoken concerning thyyour servant and concerning his house let it be established forforever ever and do as thouyou hasthave spoken;promised
17:24	andThus thyyour name will be established and magnified forforever everin the saying The Lord of hosts the God of Israel is Israels God; and the house of thyyour servant David will be established beforein theeyour presence
17:25	For thouyou my God hasthave revealed to thyyour servant that thouyou wiltwill build a house for him; therefore thyyour servant has found courageit possible to pray before theeyou

21:2	So David said to Jo′abJoab and the commanders of the army Go number Israel from Beer sheba to Dan and bring me a report so that I may know their number
21:3	But Jo′abJoab said May the Lord addincrease tothe number of his people a hundredhundredfold times as many as they are Are they not my lord the king all of them my lords servants Why then should my lord require this Why should he bring guilt uponon Israel

21:9	AndThe the Lord spoke to Gad Davids seer saying
21:10	Go and say to David Thus says the Lord: Three things I offer you; choose one of them so that I may do it to you
21:11	So Gad came to David and said to him Thus says the Lord Take whichyour you willchoice:
21:12	either three years of famine; or three months of devastation by your foes while the sword of your enemies overtakes you; or else three days of the sword of the Lord pestilence uponon the land and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the territory of Israel Now decide what answer I shall return to himthe one who sent me
21:13	Then David said to Gad I am in great distress; let me fall into the hand of the Lord for his mercy is very great; but let me not fall into thehuman hand of manhands
21:14	So the Lord sent a pestilence uponon Israel; and there fell seventy thousand menpersons offell in Israel
21:15	And God sent thean angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but when he was about to destroy it the Lord sawtook note and herelented repentedconcerning of the evilcalamity; and he said to the destroying angel ItEnough isStay enough; now stay your hand AndThe the angel of the Lord was then standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb′usiteJebusite
21:16	And David liftedlooked hisup eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven and in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem Then David and the elders clothed in sackcloth fell uponon their faces
21:17	And David said to God Was it not I who gave the command to numbercount the people It is I who have sinned and done very wickedly But these sheep what have they done Let thyyour hand I pray thee O Lord my God be against me and against my fathers house; but letdo not thelet plagueyour people be upon thy peopleplagued
21:18	Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to saytell to David that Davidhe should go up and rearerect an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jeb′usiteJebusite
21:19	So David went up atfollowing Gads wordinstructions which he had spoken in the name of the Lord

21:22	And David said to Ornan Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the Lord—give it to me at its full price—so that the plague may be averted from the people
21:23	Then Ornan said to David Take it; and let my lord the king do what seems good to him; see I givepresent the oxen for burnt offerings and the threshing sledges for the wood and the wheat for a cerealgrain offering I give it all
21:24	But King David said to Ornan No; but I will buy itthem for the full price; I will not take for the Lord what is yours nor offer burnt offerings whichthat cost me nothing
21:26	And David built there an altar to the Lord and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings andof well being He called upon the Lord and he answered him with fire from heaven uponon the altar of burnt offering
21:27	Then the Lord commanded the angel; and he put his sword back into its sheath
