⁶ And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

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

⁵ And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

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

⁷ And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

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

¹¹ And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

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

⁴ But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David.

Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
