lesserot - 2Samuel:4-7

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;

lesserot@2Samuel:7:2 @ That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, while the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:3 @ And Nathan said to the king, all that is in thy heart go and do; for the Lord is with thee.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:4 @ And it came to pass during that night, That the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,

lesserot@2Samuel:7:5 @ Go and say unto my servant, unto David, Thus hath said the Lord, Wilt thou indeed build me a house for my dwelling?

lesserot@2Samuel:7:6 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even until this day; but have been moving about in a tent and in a tabernacle.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:7 @ In all the places where I moved about among all the children of Israel, did I speak a word to any one of the tribes of Israel, whom I ordained to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have ye not built for me a house of cedar?

lesserot@2Samuel:7:8 @ Now therefore, thus shalt thou say unto my servant, to David, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from behind the flocks, to be a ruler over my people, over Israel;

lesserot@2Samuel:7:9 @ And I have been with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and I have cut off all thy enemies from thy presence, and I have made thee a great name, like the name of the great who are on the earth;

lesserot@2Samuel:7:10 @ And I have procured a place for my people, for Israel, and I have planted them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and be no more troubled; and that the children of wickedness shall not afflict them any more as aforetimes,

lesserot@2Samuel:7:11 @ And since the day that I ordained judges to be over my people Israel; and I have caused thee to rest from all thy enemies; and the Lord telleth thee that he, the Lord, will make thee a house.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:12 @ When thy days will be completed, and thou wilt sleep with thy fathers: then will I set up thy seed after thee, who shall proceed out of thy body, and I will establish his kingdom.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:13 @ He it is that shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:14 @ I too will be to him as a father, and he shall indeed be to me as a son: so that when he committeth iniquity, I will chastise him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of man;

lesserot@2Samuel:7:15 @ But my kindness shall not depart from him, as I caused it to depart from Saul, whom I removed from before thee.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:16 @ And thy house and thy kingdom shall be steadfast for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:17 @ In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:18 @ Then went king David in, and sat down before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord Eternal? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me as far as hitherward?

lesserot@2Samuel:7:19 @ And this was yet too small a thing in thine eyes, O Lord Eternal; and thou hast spoken also of thy servants house for a distant time. And is this the desert of man, O Lord Eternal?

lesserot@2Samuel:7:20 @ And what can David add yet more to speak unto thee? since thou, O Lord Eternal, knowest well thy servant?

lesserot@2Samuel:7:21 @ For the sake of thy word, and in accordance with thy own heart, hast thou done all this great thing, so as to let thy servant know it.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:22 @ Therefore art thou great, O Eternal God; for there is none like thee, and there is no God beside thee, in accordance with all that we have heard with our ears.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:23 @ And who is like thy people, like Israel, the only nation on the earth, which God went to redeem for himself as a people, and to acquire for himself a name, and to do for you this great deed, and fearful things for thy land, from before thy people which thou hast redeemed for thyself from Egypt, nations and their gods.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:24 @ For thou hast established for thyself thy people Israel as a people unto thee for ever; and thou, O Lord, art indeed become their God.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:25 @ And now, O Eternal God, let the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, stand firm for ever, and do as thou hast spoken.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:26 @ And let thy name be magnified unto everlasting, that men may say, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and may the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:27 @ For thou, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant, saying, A house will be built up for thee; therefore hath thy servant found the heart to pray unto thee this prayer.

lesserot@2Samuel:7:28 @ And now, O Lord Eternal, thou art the God, and thy words must become the truth, and thou hast spoken unto thy servant this goodness:

lesserot@2Samuel:7:29 @ And now let it please thee and bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee; for thou, O Lord Eternal, hast spoken it; and from thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

lesserot@2Samuel:8:1 @ And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them: and David took Metheghaammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
