1Chronicles:14-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David ,
and timber of cedars ,
with masons and carpenters ,
to build him an house .
*
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 .
*
And David took more wives at Jerusalem :
and David begat more sons and daughters .
*
Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem ;
Shammua ,
and Shobab ,
Nathan ,
and Solomon ,
*
And Ibhar ,
and Elishua ,
and Elpalet ,
*
And Nogah ,
and Nepheg ,
and Japhia ,
*
And Elishama ,
and Beeliada ,
and Eliphalet .
*
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 .
*
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And when they had left their gods there ,
David gave a commandment ,
and they were burned with fire .
*
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
David therefore did as God commanded him :
and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer .
*
And the fame of David went out into all lands ;
and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations .
*
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 .
*
Then David said ,
None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites :
for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God ,
and to minister unto him for ever .
*
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 .
*
And David assembled the children of Aaron ,
and the Levites :
*
Of the sons of Kohath ;
Uriel the chief ,
and his brethren an hundred and twenty :
*
Of the sons of Merari ;
Asaiah the chief ,
and his brethren two hundred and twenty :
*
Of the sons of Gershom ;
Joel the chief ,
and his brethren an hundred and thirty :
*
Of the sons of Elizaphan ;
Shemaiah the chief ,
and his brethren two hundred :
*
Of the sons of Hebron ;
Eliel the chief ,
and his brethren fourscore :
*
Of the sons of Uzziel ;
Amminadab the chief ,
and his brethren an hundred and twelve .
*
And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests ,
and for the Levites ,
for Uriel ,
Asaiah ,
and Joel ,
Shemaiah ,
and Eliel ,
and Amminadab ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
So the singers ,
Heman ,
Asaph ,
and Ethan ,
were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass ;
*
And Zechariah ,
and Aziel ,
and Shemiramoth ,
and Jehiel ,
and Unni ,
and Eliab ,
and Maaseiah ,
and Benaiah ,
with psalteries on Alamoth ;
*
And Mattithiah ,
and Elipheleh ,
and Mikneiah ,
and Obededom ,
and Jeiel ,
and Azaziah ,
with harps on the Sheminith to excel .
*
And Chenaniah ,
chief of the Levites ,
was for song :
he instructed about the song ,
because he was skilful .
*
And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
