mkjv@1Chronicles:20:1 @ And it happened after the year had ended, at the time kings go forth, Joab led out the power of the army and wasted the country of the sons of Ammon. And he came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.
mkjv@1Chronicles:20:2 @ And David took the crown of their king from off his head and found its weight a talent of gold. And precious stones [were] in it. And it was set on David's head, and he also brought exceeding much spoil out of the city.
mkjv@1Chronicles:20:3 @ And he brought out the people who [were] in it. And [they] sawed with saws and with sharp tools of iron, and with the axes. And so David did with the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

mkjv@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab answered, May the LORD add to His people a hundred times, but my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

mkjv@1Chronicles:21:5 @ And Joab gave the sum of the census of the people to David. And in all Israel there were one million and a hundred thousand men who drew sword. And in Judah [were] four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew sword.

mkjv@1Chronicles:21:10 @ Go and speak to David, saying, So says the LORD: I offer you three [things]. Choose one of them so that I may do it to you.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:11 @ And Gad came to David and said to him, So says the LORD, Choose for yourself:
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:12 @ either three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtake you, or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even the plague in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the border of Israel. And now say what word I shall bring again to Him who sent me.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said to Gad, I am in great distress. Let me fall now into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies [are] very great. But do not let me fall into the hand of man.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:14 @ And the LORD sent a plague on Israel. And there fell seventy thousand men of Israel.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. And as he was destroying, the LORD looked. And He repented of the evil and said to the angel who destroyed, Enough! Stay your hand now! And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:16 @ And David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said to God, Did not I command to number the people? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed. But these sheep, what have they done? I pray You, let Your hand be on me, O LORD my God, and on my father's house, but not on Your people, that they should be plagued.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:18 @ And the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and set up an altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

mkjv@1Chronicles:21:21 @ And David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out of the threshing-floor and bowed to David with his face to the ground.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:22 @ Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, so that I may build an altar in it to the LORD. You shall give it to me for the full price, so that the plague may be stayed from the people.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:23 @ And Ornan said to David, Take for yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. Lo, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the food offering. I give it all.
mkjv@1Chronicles:21:24 @ And King David said to Ornan, No, but I will truly buy it for the full silver. For I will not take what [is] yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

mkjv@1Chronicles:21:30 @ But David could not go before it to ask of God, for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

mkjv@1Chronicles:22:4 @ and also cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar trees in abundance to David.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:5 @ And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and the house to be built for the LORD is to be highly magnificent, for a name and for beauty to all the lands. I will now prepare for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:6 @ And he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:7 @ And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:8 @ But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, You have shed much blood and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to My name because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:9 @ Behold, a son shall be born to you who shall be a man of rest. And I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. For his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:10 @ He shall build a house for My name. And he shall be My son, and I [will be] his Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:11 @ Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and bless you, and build the house of the LORD your God as He has said of you.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:12 @ Only may the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, and direct you concerning Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:13 @ Then you shall prosper, if you take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments with which the LORD charged Moses, concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage. Do not fear, nor be dismayed.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:14 @ And, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver, and of bronze and iron without weight, for it is in abundance. I have prepared timber also, and stone, and you may add to them.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:15 @ And there [are] many workmen with you, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of skillful men for every kind of work.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:16 @ Of the gold, the silver, and the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:17 @ And David commanded all the rulers of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:18 @ Is not the LORD your God with you? And has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the people of the land into my hand. And the land is humbled before the LORD and before His people.
mkjv@1Chronicles:22:19 @ Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God. Arise therefore and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

mkjv@1Chronicles:23:11 @ And Jahath [was] the chief, and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons. Therefore they were in one roster, according to [their] father's house.
mkjv@1Chronicles:23:12 @ The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
mkjv@1Chronicles:23:13 @ The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated so that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him, and to bless in His name forever.

mkjv@1Chronicles:23:25 @ For David said, The LORD God of Israel has given rest to His people so that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever,
mkjv@1Chronicles:23:26 @ and also to the Levites, so that they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.
mkjv@1Chronicles:23:27 @ For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered from twenty years old and above,
mkjv@1Chronicles:23:28 @ because their office [was] to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God
mkjv@1Chronicles:23:29 @ both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for food offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all kinds of measure and size,

mkjv@1Chronicles:23:32 @ and that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the Holy Place, and the charge of their brothers, the sons of Aaron, in the service of the house of the LORD.
mkjv@1Chronicles:24:1 @ And the divisions of the sons of Aaron [were]: The sons of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
