⁷ And the sons of Carmi; Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the thing accursed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And Abraham begat Isaac. The sons of Isaac; Esau and Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And God was displeased displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four thousand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And of all my sons, for the LORD hath given me many sons, he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ The son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁹ But Aaron and his sons offered upon the altar of the burnt offering, and on the altar of incense, and were appointed for all the work of the place most holy, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁴ And the children of Israel gave to the Levites these cities with their suburbs.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And by the borders of the children of Manasseh, Beth-shean and her towns, Taanach and her towns, Megiddo and her towns, Dor and her towns. In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ 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 Obed-edom with joy.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ 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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ He shall build an 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 for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were for the outward business over Israel, for officers and judges.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Furthermore over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
