lesserot - 2Samuel:4-6

lesserot@2Samuel:4:1 @ And when Sauls son heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became enfeebled, and all the Israelites were troubled.

lesserot@2Samuel:4:2 @ And Sauls son had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:

lesserot@2Samuel:4:3 @ And the Beerothites had fled to Gittayim, and remained sojourners there until this day.)

lesserot@2Samuel:4:4 @ And Jonathan, Sauls son, had a son that was lame on both feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Yizreel, and his nurse took him up and fled: and it came to pass, in her haste to flee, that he fell, and was rendered lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

lesserot@2Samuel:4:5 @ And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came at the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who was just lying in bed as usual at noon.

lesserot@2Samuel:4:6 @ And they came thither into the interior of the house, as buyers of wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

lesserot@2Samuel:4:7 @ Namely, they came into the house, while he was lying on his bed in his sleepingchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and cut off his head, and took his head, and went by the way of the plain all the night.

lesserot@2Samuel:4:8 @ And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and they said to the king, Behold, here is the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thy enemy, who sought thy life: and the Lord hath granted to my lord the king vengeance this day on Saul, and on his seed.

lesserot@2Samuel:4:9 @ But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

lesserot@2Samuel:4:10 @ When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, and he was in his own eyes as though he brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who that I should give him a reward for his tidings:

lesserot@2Samuel:4:11 @ How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous man in his own house upon his bed? and now, behold, I will require his blood of your hand, and I will remove you away from the earth.

lesserot@2Samuel:4:12 @ And David gave the command to the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up by the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ishbosheth they took, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:1 @ Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold us, thy bone and thy flesh are we;

lesserot@2Samuel:5:2 @ Already yesterday, and even before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast the one that led out and brought in Israel: And the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt indeed feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a chief over Israel.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:3 @ Thus came all the elders of Israel to the king unto Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David as king over Israel.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:4 @ Thirty years was David old when he became king, forty years he reigned.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:5 @ In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:6 @ And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; who said unto David, as followeth, Thou shalt not come in hither, except thou remove away the blind and the lame: meaning, David cannot come in hither.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:7 @ Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:8 @ And David said on that day, Whosoever will smite the Jebusites, and reach the aqueduct and the lame and the blind, that are hateful to Davids soul,Wherefore people usually say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:9 @ And David dwelt in the fort, and he called it "The City of David." And David built round about from the Millo and inward.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:10 @ And David went on, and became greater and greater, and the Lord the God of hosts was with him.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:11 @ And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedartrees, and carpenters, and stonemasons: and they built a house for David.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:12 @ And David felt conscious that the Lord has established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:13 @ And David took yet more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were born to David yet sons and daughters.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:14 @ And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

lesserot@2Samuel:5:15 @ And Yibchar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Yaphia,

lesserot@2Samuel:5:16 @ And Elishama, and Elyada, and Eliphelet.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:17 @ But when the Philistines heard that the people had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:18 @ The Philistines also came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:19 @ And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:20 @ And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken down my enemies before me, as a breach water. Wherefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:21 @ And they left behind there their idols, and David and his men burnt them.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:22 @ And the Philistines came up once again, and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:23 @ And when David asked counsel of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but turn about and fall in the rear of them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberrytrees.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:24 @ And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the top of the mulberrytrees, that thou shalt then bestir thyself; for then will the Lord go out before thee, to smite in the camp of the Philistines.

lesserot@2Samuel:5:25 @ And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and he smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:1 @ And David assembled again all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:2 @ And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him from Baaleyehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the name of which was called by the name of the Lord of hosts, that dwelleth over the cherubim.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:3 @ And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Achyo, the sons of Abinadab, guided the new wagon.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:4 @ When they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill, near the ark of God; but Achyo went before the ark.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:5 @ And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of firwood, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with bells, and with cymbals.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:6 @ And when they came to the threshingfloor of Nachon, Uzzah put forth to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:7 @ And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for the error; and he died there by the ark of God.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:8 @ And it was grievous to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away Uzzah; and he called that place Perezuzzah until this day.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:9 @ And David was afraid of the Lord on that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?

lesserot@2Samuel:6:10 @ So David would not allow to have the ark of the Lord removed unto him into the city of David; but David had it carried round into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:11 @ And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:12 @ And it was told to king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God: and David then went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:13 @ And it happened, that when the bearers of the ark of the Lord had progressed six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:14 @ And David danced with all his might before the Lord; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:15 @ So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:16 @ And it happened, as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:17 @ And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and David offered burntofferings before the Lord and peaceofferings.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:18 @ And when David had made an end of offering the burntofferings and the peaceofferings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:19 @ And he dealt out to all the people, to the whole multitude of Israel, to both men and women, to every person one cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine: and all the people departed every one to his house.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:20 @ And David then returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and she said, How honored was today the king of Israel, who uncovered himself today before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as only one of the low fellows can uncover himself!

lesserot@2Samuel:6:21 @ And David said unto Michal, Before the Lord, who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to ordain me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel:yea, before the Lord will I yet farther play.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:22 @ And should I be yet more vile than thus, and should I be base in my own eyes: yet among the maidservants of whom thou hast spoken, yea, among them would I still be honored.

lesserot@2Samuel:6:23 @ And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:1 @ And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
