King
David
In
The Service Of The Song In The House Of God
There
Fell Some of Manasseh - to David.
When
He Came With Philistines - against Saul to battle but
They
Helped Them Not - for the lords of Philistines upon advisement
Sent
Him Away Saying - He will fall to his Master Saul to
the jeopardy of our heads.
As
He Went To Ziklag - there fell to him of Manasseh Adnah Jozabad
Jediael
Michael - Jozabad Elihu and Zilthai
Captains
of The Thousands - that were of Manasseh.
Sons
of Gad Captains - of the Host one of the least
was
over an hundred and
The
Greatest - over a thousand. 1000
These Are They That Went - over Jordan in the first month
When
It Had Overflown - all his banks and
They
Put To Flight All Them of The Valleys - both toward the
east and toward the west.
All
These Men of War - that could keep rank came with a perfect
heart to Hebron
To
Make David King - over all Hebrews and
All
The Rest Also Of Hebrews - were of one heart to make David King.
There
Came Of Children of Benjamin and Judah -
to The Hold - to David.
According
To - The
Word of God.
These
Are They That Went - over Jordan in first month
when it had overflown all his banks.
They
Put To Flight All Them - of The
Valleys both toward east and toward west.
In
The Land - of The Valley
- have chariots of iron
Both
They - who are of Bethshean
and towns and they who are of The Valley
of Jezreel.
David
Went Out To Meet Them - answered and said to them.
If
Ye Become Peaceably To Me - to help Me mine heart shall be knit
to you
If
Ye Be Come To Betray Me - to mine enemies
Seeing
there is no wrong in mine hands
God
of our Fathers look thereon and rebuke it.
For
The King - had taken Counsel and
His
Princes and all The Congregation - in Jerusalem.
To
Keep The Passover - in the second month.
For
They Could Not - keep it at that time.
Then
The Spirit came upon - Amasai who was Chief of the Captains
he said
Because
The Priests - had not sanctified themselves sufficiently.
Neither
Had The People Gathered - themselves together to Jerusalem.
Thine
Are We David - and on thy side
Thou
Son Of Jesse - peace peace be to
thee and
Peace
Be To Thine Helpers - for Thy God
helpeth thee.
Then
David Received Them - and made them Captains
of The Band.
There
They Were With David - three days eating and drinking.
For
Their Brethren - had prepared for them.
They
Helped David - against the band of the rovers -
For
They Were All Mighty Men - of valour and were captains in the
host.
For
At That Time Day By Day - there came to David
To
Help Him Until - it was a great host like The
Host of God.
These
Are The Numbers of The Bands - that were ready
armed to the war and
Came
to David to Hebron - to turn the Kingdom of Saul to him
The Thing Pleased The King
- and all The Congregation.
They
Established A Decree - to make proclamation throughout all Hebrews.
From
Beersheba - even to Dan that they should come.
To
Keep The Passover - to God of Hebrews
at Jerusalem
For
They Had Not Done It - of a long time.
In
Such Sort - as It Was Written.
The
Posts Went With The Letters - from The King and his Princes
Throughout
All Hebrews - and Judah and
According
To The Commandments - of The King
saying
Ye
Children of Hebrews - turn again to God
of Abraham Isaac and Hebrews and
He
Will Return To The Remnant Of You - that are escaped
Out
Of The Hand - of the Kings of Assyria.
Be
Not Ye Like Your Fathers - and like your brethren
That
Trespassed Against God - of their
fathers
Who
Therefore Gave Them Up To Desolation - as ye see.
Now
Be Ye Not - stiffnecked as your fathers were but
Yield
Yourselves To God - and enter
into His Sanctuary
That
He Hath Sanctified - for ever and serve God.
That
The Fierceness Of His Wrath - may
turn away from you.
So
The Posts Passed - from City to City through
The
Country Of Ephraim - and Manasseh even to Zebulun but
They
Laughed Them To Scorn - and mocked them.
Nevertheless
Divers of Asher -
and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and
Came
to Jerusalem - in Judah the hand of God
was to give them one heart
To
Do The
Commandment Of The King
- and of the Princes
By
The Word of God - there Assembled
at Jerusalem much People
To
Keep The Feast Of Unleavened Bread - in
The
Second Month - a very great Congregation.
The
Whole Assembly - took Counsel
To
Keep Other Seven Days - and they kept other seven days with
gladness.
It
Shall Be For The Priests That Are Sanctified - of the sons of
Zadok
That
Have Kept My Charge - that went not astray
When
The Children of Hebrews Went Astray - as the Levites went astray.
This
Oblation Of The Land - that is
offered
Shall
Be To Them - a Thing Most Holy
.. by the border of the Levites.
They
Shall Not Sell Of It - neither exchange
Nor
Alienate The First Fruits Of The Land
- for it is Holy to God.
They
That Serve The City - shall
serve it out of all the tribes of Hebrews.
All The Oblation Shall Be - five and twenty thousand by five
and twenty thousand
Ye
Shall Offer The Holy Oblation - foursquare with the possession
of
The City.
The
lords of the Heathen - have broken down The
Principal Plants.
Thereof
They Are Come - even to Jazer they
wandered through The Wilderness
Her
branches are stretched out.
They
are gone over the sea.
Then
The Spirit came - upon Amasai who was Chief of the
Captains
He Said
- thine are we David.
On
Thy Side Thou Son of Jesse
- Peace Peace be to thee and
Peace
Be To Thine Helpers - for Thy God
helpeth thee.
Then
David received them - and made them Captains
of The Band.
They
Helped David Against - the band of the rovers.
They
Were All Mighty Men of Valour - and were Captains in the host.
For
At That Time Day By Day - there came to David
To
Help Him Until It Was - a great host like The
Host Of God.
These
are the numbers of the Bands - that were ready armed
to the war and
Came
to David to Hebron to return the Kingdom of Saul to Him
..
According
To - The Word of God.
The
Sons Of Merari - Mahli Libni his son Shimei his son Uzza
His
Son Shimea his son Haggiah his son Asaiah his son.
These
Are They - Whom David Set Over.
In
The Service Of The Song In The House of God
- after that The Ark had rest.
In
The Fortieth Year of Reign of David - they were sought for -
There
Were Found Among Them - Mighty Men of Valour at Jazer of Gilead.
Walking
In Statutes of David - Only sacrificed and burnt incense.
Now
these are they that came to David to Ziklag.
While
He Yet - kept himself close because of
Saul
Son of Kish - they were among the mighty Men helpers of the
war.
They
were armed with bows - and could use both right
hand and left
In
Hurling Stones - and shooting arrows out of a bow
Even
of Saul's Brethren - of Benjamin.
Chief
was Ahiezer then Joe Ash sons of Shemaah Gibeathite Jeziel and
Pelet sons of Azmaveth Berachah and Jehu the Antothite.
Ismaiah The Gibeonite - a mighty Man among the
thirty and
Over
The Thirty - Jeremiah Jahaziel Johanan Josabad Gederathite
Eluzai Jerimoth Bealiah Shemariah Shephatiah the Haruphite Elkanah
and Jesiah Azareel Joezer Jashobeam the Korhites Joelah Zebadiah
sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
Of
Gadites there separated themselves to David - into The Hold.
To
The Wilderness -
Men of might and Men of war fit for the battle
That
Could Handle Shield - and buckler whose faces were
like faces of lions and
Were
As Swift As Roes - upon The Mountains
Ezer first
- Obadiah second Eliab third Mish Mannah fourth Jeremiah fifth
Attai
Sixth Eliel
- seventh Johanan eighth Elzabad ninth Jeremiah tenth Machbanai
eleventh.
There
They Were With David Three Days Eating and Drinking.
For Their
Brethren - had prepared for them.
The
Thing Pleased The King and all The Congregation.
For
The King Had Taken Counsel -
and his Princes and
All
The Congregation - to keep the passover in second
month.
They
Could Not Keep It - at that time.
Because
Priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently
Neither
Had The People - Gathered Themselves Together.
God
Hearkened To Hezekiah - and Healed The Peoples.
Go
Now Through All The Tribes of Hebrews - From Dan Even To Beersheba.
Joab
Said To The King - Now Thy
God Add To The Peoples.
How
Many Soever They Be - An Hundredfold and
That
The Eyes Of My King - May See It
But
Why
Doth My King - Delight In This
Thing ?
Araunah
Looked and Saw The King - and His
Servants Coming On Toward Him.
Araunah
Went Out - Bowed Himself Before The King
On His Face Upon The Ground.
Araunah Said Wherefore Is God The King
- Come To His Servant ?
Araunah
Said To David - Let God The King
Take and
Offer
Up - What Seemeth Good
To Him.
Behold
- Here Be For Sacrifice and
Threshing
Instruments - and Other Instruments Of Wood.
All
These Things Did Araunah - As A King Gives To The
King.
Araunah
Said To The King Thy God - Accept
Thee.
The
King Said To Araunah - Nay But I Will
Surely Buy It Off Thee At A Price.
Neither
Will I Offer - Burnt Offerings To God.
God
Was Intreated For The Land
- and
The
Plague Was Stayed - From Hebrews.
Wherefore
Said They - If We Have Found Grace In Thy Sight
Let This Land.
Be
Given To Thy Servants For a Possession - and Bring Us Not Over
Jordan.
Thus
Saith God Thy Redeemer - and He That
Formed Thee From The Womb.
I
Am God - That Maketh All Things
That
Stretcheth Forth The Heavens - Alone
That
Spreadeth Abroad The Earth - By
Myself.
That
Frustrateth The Tokens - the liars and maketh diviners mad
That
Turneth Wise Men - Backward and
Maketh
Their Knowledge - Foolish.
That
Confirmeth - The Word Of His Servant
and
Performeth
The Counsel Of His Messengers
- That Saith
Thou
Shalt Be Inhabited - To The Cities Of The Hebrews.
Ye
Shall Be Built - and
I
Will Raise Up - The Decayed Places Thereof.
Ashar
- The Troubler Of The Hebrews Who Transgressed
In The Thing Accursed.
Zebulun
Shall Dwell At The Haven - Of The Sea and
He
Shall Be For An Haven of Ships - and His Border Shall Be To
Zidon.
God
Gave To The Hebrews - All The Land.
That
He Sware To Give - To Their Fathers They Possessed It
and Dwelt Therein.
God
Gave Them - The Rest Round About According
To All.
That
He Sware To Their Fathers - and
There
Stood Not A Man - Of All Their enemies Before Them.
God
Delivered All Their Enemies - Into Their Hand.
There
Failed Not - Ought.
Of
Any Good Thing - That God Had Spoken.
To
The House of Hebrews - All Came To Pass.
Neither
Will I Offer - Offerings To God
That Cost Me Nothing.
Him
That Offereth In The High Places - and Him
That Burneth Incense To God.
Now
There Arose Up A New King over
gods - That Knew Not Joseph.
He
Said To His People - Behold.
The
People Of The Children Of The Hebrews - Are More and Mightier
Than We.
Come
On Let Us Deal Wisely With Them - Lest They Multiply and
When
There Falleth Out - Any War They Join Also To Our Enemies and
Fight
Against Us - and So Get Them Up Out Of The
Land.
For
When David Was Up - In The Morning The
Word of God Came to
The
Prophet Gad - David's Seer Saying.
David
Said To God - I Have Sinned Greatly
In That I Have Done and
Now
I Beseech Thee O God - Take Away
The Iniquity Of Thy Servant.
For I Have Done - Very Foolishly.
Go
and Say To David - Thus Saith God
I Offer Thee Three Things.
Choose
Thee One Of Them - That I May Do It To Thee.
Gad
Came To David - and Told Him and Said To Him.
Shall
Seven Years Of Famine - Come To Thee In
Thy Land ?
Or
Wilt Thou Flee Three Months - Before Thine enemies While they
Pursue Thee ?
Or
That There Be Three Days' Pestilence -
In Thy Land ?
Now
Advise and See What Answer - I Shall Return To Him
That Sent Me.
David
Said To Gad - I Am In A Great Strait.
Let
Us Fall Now Into The Hand Of God
- For His Mercies Are Great and
Let
Me Not Fall - Into The Hand Of Man.
There
They Were With David - Three Days Eating and Drinking
For
Their Brethren - Had Prepared For Them.
Moreover
They That Were Nigh - Them Even To Issachar Zebulun and
Naphtali
Brought Bread - On Asses Camels Mules and Oxen and
Meal
Cakes Of Figs - Bunches Of Raisins Vines and Oil and
Oxen
and Sheep Abundantly - For There Was Joy In The Hebrews.
For
The King - Had Taken Counsel.
His
Princes - and All
The Congregation.
To
Keep The Passover - In The Second Month.
For
They Could Not Keep It - At That Time Because
The
Priests - Had Not Sanctified Themselves Sufficiently.
Neither
Had The People Gathered - Themselves Together.
The
Thing Pleased The King - and All The Congregation.
They
Established A Decree - To Make Proclamation Throughout All The
Hebrews.
From
Beersheba Even To Dan - That They Should Come.
To
Keep The Passover - To God Of The Hebrews
For
They Had Not Done It - Of A Long Time.
In
Such Sort - As It Was Written.
The
Posts Went With The Letters - From The King and His Princes
Throughout
All Hebrews - Israel and Judah and
According
To - The Commandment Of The King
Saying
Ye
Children Of Hebrews - Turn Again To God
Of Abraham Isaac and Israel and
He
Will Return
- To The Remnant Of You That Escaped.
Out
Of The Hand - Of The Kings of Assyria.
Be
Not Ye Like Your Fathers - and Not Like Your Brethren.
That
Trespassed Against God - Of Their
Fathers.
Who
Therefore Gave Them Up - To Desolation As Ye See.
Now
Be Ye Not Stiffnecked - As Your Fathers Were But
Yield
Yourselves To God - and Enter Into
His Sanctuary.
That
He Hath Sanctified

Serve
Your God -
That The Fierceness Of His Wrath
May Turn Away From You.
For
If Ye Turn Again - To God.
Your
Brethren - and Your Children.
Shall
Find - Compassion.
God
Is Gracious
- Merciful and Will Not Turn Away His Face.
From
You If Ye - Return To Him.
So
The Posts Passed From City To City - Through Country Of Ephraim
and
Manasseh
Even to Zebulun - But They Laughed Them To Scorn and Mocked
Them.
Nevertheless
Divers Of Asher - Manasseh and Zebulun.
Humbled
Themselves - and Came To The Hand Of God.
Was
To Give Them One Heart - To Do The Commandment
Of The King and
Of
The Princes - By The Word Of
God
We
Have Heard Of The Pride Of King
Moab - He Is Very Proud.
Even
Of His Haughtiness - Pride and Wrath and Lies Shall Not Be So.
They
Established A Decree - To Make Proclamation Throughout All The
Hebrews.
Fom
Beersheba - Even To Dan That They Should Come.
To

This
Is The Blessing - Of The Hebrews.
He
Said Hear God - The Voice Of The Hebrews and
Bring
Him - To His
People.
Let
His Hands Be Sufficient - For Him
and
Be
Thou An Help To Him From - His
enemies.
Be
Not Ye Like Your Fathers
- and Your Brethren.
That
Trespassed Against God - Of Their
Fathers.
Who
Therefore Gave Them Up To Desolation - As Ye See.
Now
Be Ye Not Stiffnecked As Your Fathers Were - But
Yield
Yourselves - To God and
Enter
Into His Sanctuary - That
He Hath Sanctified For Ever and Serve God.
That
The Fierceness Of His Wrath -
May Turn Away From You.
For
If Ye Turn Again To God
- Your Brethren and Your Children.
Shall
Find Compassion - Before Them That Lead Them Captive So That.
They
Shall Come Again - Into This Land
For God.
Your
God Is Gracious and Merciful
- and
Will
Not Turn Away His Face - From You
If Ye Return To Him.

Joab and
Against
The Captains - Of The Host.

An Hundredfold and That.
The
Eyes Of My King - May See It
But
Why
Doth My King - Delight In This

- of
The
Tabernacle Of The Congregation - With Singing
David
Made Him Houses In The City Of David -
and
Prepared
A Place For
The Ark Of God - and Pitched For It A Tent.
Then David Said - None Ought To Carry The
Ark Of God But The Levites For Them
Hath
God Chosen To Carry The
Ark Of God - and To Minister To Him For Ever.
David
Gathered All Hebrews Together - To Jerusalem To Bring Up The
Ark Of God.

To The Place - That I
Have Prepared For It.
For
Because Ye Did It Not At The First
- God Made A Breach Upon Us.
For

Up
The

- Of The Hebrews.
The
Children Of The Levites - Bare The Ark

When God Helped The Levites - That

They
Offered Sacrifices and Peace Offerings - Before God.
When

He
Dealt To Every One Of The Hebrews - Both Man and Woman
To
Every One A Loaf of Bread - and

He

Every
Man To His House - and David Returned To Bless His House.
As
David Sat In His House - That David Said To Nathan The Prophet.
Lo
I Dwell - In An House
Of Cedars But
The
Ark Of The Covenant Of God
- Remaineth Under curtains.
Nathan
Said To David - Do All That Is In Thine Heart For God
Is With Thee.
The Same Night - That The Word Of God
Came To Nathan Saying.
Go
And Tell David - my servant Thus Saith
God
Thou
Shalt Not Build Me An House - To Dwell In.
For
I Have Not - Dwelt In An House.
Since
The Day - That I Brought Up Hebrews.
To
This Day - But Have Gone.
From
Tent To Tent - and From One Tabernacle To Another.
Wheresoever
I Have Walked - With All The Hebrews.
Spake
I A Word - To
Any Of The Judges Of The Hebrews.
Whom
I Commanded - To Feed My People Saying
Why
Have Ye Not Built Me - An House
Of Cedars ?
Now
Therefore Thus - Shalt Thou Say To My Servant David Thus Saith
God Of Hosts.
I Took Thee From - The Sheepcote Even From Following The Sheep.
That
Thou Shouldest Be Ruler -
Over My People The Hebrews.
I
Have Been With Thee - Whithersoever.
Thou
Hast Walked - and Have Cut Off All Thine enemies
From
Before Thee - and Have Made Thee A Name.
Like
The Name Of The Great Men - That Are On The
Earth.
Also I Will Ordain A Place - For My People Hebrews 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 - and Since The Time.
That
I Commanded Judges - To Be Over My People The Hebrews.
Moreover
I Will Subdue - All Thine enemies.
Furthermore
I Tell Thee That God - Will Build
Thee An House.
When Thy Days Be Expired - That.
Thou
Must Go To Be - With Thy Fathers.
That
I Will Raise Up Thy Seed - After
Thee
That
Shall Be Of Thy Sons - and I Will
Establish His Kingdom.
He Shall Build Me An House - and
I Will Establish His Throne For
Ever.
I Will Be His Father - He Shall Be My
Son and I Will Not Take My Mercy Away.
From
Him - As I Took It From Him.
That
Was Before Thee - I Will Settle Him In Mine
House.
In My Kingdom
- For Ever and
His
Throne Shall Be Established - For Evermore.
According To All These Words - and According
To All This Vision.
So
Did Nathan - Speak To David.
David The King - Came and Sat Before God
and Said Who Am I O God and
What
Is Mine House - That Thou Hast Brought Me Hitherto ?
Yet
This Was a Small Thing - In Thine Eyes O God.
For
Thou Hast - Also Spoken Of.
Thy
Servant's House
- For a Great While To Come and
Hast
Regarded Me - According To The Estate Of A Man Of High Degree
O God.
What Can David Speak More To Thee - For The Honour Of Thy Servant
?
For
Thou Knowest - Thy Servant.
O God For Thy Servant's Sake - and According To Thine Own Heart.
Hast
Thou Done - All This Greatness.
In
Making Known - All These Great Things.
O
God There Is None Like Thee - Neither
Is There Any God Beside Thee.
According
To All - That We Have Heard With Our ears.
What
One Nation Of The Earth - Is Like
Thy People Hebrews.
Whom
God Went To Redeem - To Be His
Own Peoples.
To
Make Thee A Name - Of Greatness and Terribleness.
By
Driving Out Nations - From Before Thy Peoples.
Whom
Thou Hast Redeemed - Out Of Egypt ?
For
Thy People Hebrews - Didst Thou Make Thine Own Peoples.
For
Ever and Thou God - Becamest Their
God.
Therefore
Now God - Let The Thing That Thou
Hast Spoken Concerning Thy Servant and
Concerning His House Be Established
- For Ever and Do As Thou Hast
Said.
Let
It Even Be Established - That Thy Name.
May
Be Magnified - For Ever Saying God.
Hosts
Is The God Of The Hebrews - Even
A God To Hebrews and
Let
The House Of David - Thy Servant Be Established Before Thee.
For Thou O My God - Hast Told Thy
Servant That Thou Wilt Build Him an House.
Therefore
Thy Servant Hath Found - In His Heart To Pray Before Thee.
Now
God Thou Art God
- and Hast Promised This Goodness To Thy Servant.
Now
Therefore - Let It Please Thee To
Bless
The House - Of Thy Servant That It May Be
Before
Thee For Ever - For Thou Blessest O God
and It Shall Be Blessed For Ever.
Then
David Said - This Is The House Of God
and
This
Is The Altar Of The Offerings - For Hebrews.
David
Commanded - To Gather Together The Strangers.
That
Were - In The Land Of The Hebrews
and
He
Set Masons
- To Hew Wrought Stones To Build The House
Of God.
David
Prepared Iron In Abundance - For The Nails For The Doors Of
The Gates and
For
The Joinings - and Brass In Abundance Without Weight.
Also
Cedar Trees - In Abundance For The Zidonians and
They
Of Tyre - Brought Much Cedar Wood To David.
David
Said Solomon My Son - Is Young and Tender and
The
House
- That Is To Be Builded
For God.
Must
Be - Exceeding Magnifical Of Fame
and
Of
Glory Throughout - All Countries.
I
Will Therefore - Now Make Preparation For It.
So
David Prepared Abundantly - Before His Death.
Then He Called For Solomon - His Son and Charged Him.
To Build An House - For God Of
The Hebrews.
David Said To Solomon - My Son As For Me It Was In My Mind.
To
Build An House - To The Name Of God.
The Word Of God -
Came To Me Saying.
Thou
Hast Shed Blood - Abundantly Hast Made Great Wars.
Thou
Shalt Not Build An House - To My Name because.
Thou
Hast Shed Much Blood - Upon The Earth
In My Sight.
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 To Hebrews In His Days.
He Shall Build An House - For My Name
and
He
Shall Be My Son - and I Will Be His Father.
I
Will Establish - The Throne Of His Kingdom.
Over
The Hebrews - For Ever.
Now My Son God Be With
Thee - and Prosper Thou and
Build
The House Of God
- as He Hath Said Of Thee.
Only
God Give Thee Wisdom - and Understanding
and
Give
Thee Charge - Concerning The Hebrews That
Thou
Mayest Keep - The
Law Of God.
Then
Shalt Thou - Prosper.
If
Thou Takest Heed - To Fulfil The Statutes
and Judgments.
David
Also Commanded - All The Princes Of The Hebrews.
To
Help Solomon - His Son Saying Is Not God
With You ?
Hath
He Not Given You - Rest On Every Side ?
For
He Hath Given The Inhabitants - Of The
Land Into Mine Hand and
The
Land - Is Subdued
Before God and Before His
Peoples.
Now Set Your Heart - and Your Soul To Seek God
Arise Therefore and
Build
Ye - The Sanctuary Of God.
To
Bring - The Ark Of The Covenant Of God
and
The
Holy Vessels Of God
- Into The House.
That
Is To Be Built - To The Name Of God.
David
Assembled All - The Princes Of The Hebrews 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 Substances and Possessions Of The
King and
Of
His Sons - With The Officers and
With
The Mighty Men - and With All The Valiant Men To Jerusalem.
Then David The King - Stood Up
upon his feet and said Hear me my brethren and
My
People As For Me - I had in mine heart to build an
House of Rest
For
The Ark Of The
Covenant Of God
- and for The Footstool of God
and
Had
Made Ready - for The Building.
All
These Things Did - Araunah As A King Give to The
King.
Araunah
Said To - The King Thy God accept
thee.
The
King
Said To Araunah - Nay I will surely buy it of thee at
a price.
God
Said To Me - Thou shalt not build an House
for My Name
Because
Thou Hast Been - A Man of War - and hast shed blood.
Howbeit God of Hebrews - chose
me before all The House of My
Father
To
Be King Over Hebrews For Ever - for He
hath chosen Hebrews
To
Be The Ruler - of The
House of Hebrews The House of My Father and
Among
The Sons of My Father - He
liked me
To
Make Me - The King - over all Hebrews.
Of
All My Sons - for God hath given
me many sons He hath chosen Solomon
My
Son To Sit Upon The Throne Of The Kingdom Of God
- over Hebrews.
He
Said To Me
Solomon - thy son he shall build My House
and
My
Courts - for
I have chosen him to be my son and I will be his Father.
Moreover I Will Establish His Kingdom
For Ever - if he be constant
To
Do My Commandments
- and My Judgments - as at this
day.
Now Therefore - in The Sight of all Hebrews
The
Congregation Of God
- and in The Audience Of God
Keep
and Seek - for all The Commandments Of God
That
Ye May Possess This Good Land -
and leave it for
An
Inheritance For Your Children - after you for ever.
Thou Solomon My Son - know thou God
of thy father and serve Him with
a
Perfect
Heart and With a Willing Mind - for God
searcheth all hearts and
Understandeth All The Imaginations - of the thoughts if thou
seek Him He will be
Found
Of Thee - but if thou forsake Him He
will cast thee off for ever.
Take Heed Now For God - hath chosen
thee to build an House
For The Sanctuary - Be Strong and
Do It.
Then David Gave To Solomon - his son
The
Pattern Of The Porch
- and of The Houses thereof and
of
The
Treasuries
Thereof - and of The Upper Chambers
thereof and of
The
Inner Parlours
- thereof and of The Place of The Mercy
Seat.
The Pattern Of All - that he had
by the spirit
Of
The Courts - of The
House Of God - and
Of
All The Chambers - round about
of The Treasuries Of The House Of God
and
Of
The Treasuries
- of The Dedicated Things.
Also For The Courses - of the Priests
and the Levites and
For
All The Work Of The Service
Of The House Of God
- and
For
All The Vessels Of Service In The House Of God.
He Gave of Gold - by weight for things of Gold
For All Instruments
Of
All Manner of Service
- silver also for all instruments of silver by weight
For
All Instruments - of Every Kind of Service
Even The Weight For The Candlesticks - of gold and
For
Their Lamps - of gold by weight
For Every Candlestick and for The Lamps thereof and
For
The Candlesticks of Silver - by
weight
Both
For The Candlestick - and also for The Lamps thereof
According
To The Use
- of every Candlestick.
By
Weight He Gave Gold - for The Tablets of The Shewbread
For
Every Tablet - and likewise Silver
For The tablets - of silver also
Pure
Gold For - the Hooks and The Bowls and The
Cups and
For
The Golden Basons - he gave gold by weight for every bason and
Likewise
Silver By Weight - for every bason of silver.
For
The Altar of Incense - refined gold by weight and
Gold
For The Pattern - of The Chariot
of The Cherubims
That
Spread Out Their Wings - and Covered
The Ark Of The Covenant Of God.
All This Said David -
God made me understand
In
Writing - by His Hand
Upon
Me - Even All The Works of This Pattern.
David Said To Solomon - his son Be strong and
Of
Good Courage - and do it - fear not
Nor
Be Dismayed For God - even God
will be with thee
He
- will not fail thee nor
Forsake
Thee Until Thou - hast finished all The
Works.
For
- The Service Of The House of God.
Behold
- the Courses of the Priests.
The
Levites Even They - shall be with Thee.
For All - The Service
Of The House Of God.
There
Shall Be With Thee.
For
All Manner Of Workmanship - Every Willing Skilful Man.
For
Any Manner of Service - also The Princes and
All The Peoples.
Will
Be Wholly - at Thy Commandment.
David
consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds and with
every leader.
David
said to all The Congregation of Hebrews If it seem good to you
and that it be of God let us send abroad to our brethren every
where that are left in all the land of Hebrews and with them
also to the priests and Levites that are in their cities and
suburbs that they may gather themselves to us
Let
us bring again The Ark of our God to us for we enquired not
at it in the days of Saul.
All
The Congregation said that they would do so for the thing was
right in the eyes of all the People.
So
David gathered all Hebrews together from Shihor of Egypt even
to the entering of Hemath to bring The Ark of God from Kirjathjearim.
David
went up and all Hebrews to Baalah that is to Kirjathjearim that
belonged to Judah to bring up thence The Ark of God that dwelleth
between the cherubims whose name is called on it.
They
carried The Ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab
and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
David
and all Hebrews 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.
When
they came to the threshingfloor of Chidon Uzza put forth his
hand
To
hold The Ark for the oxen stumbled.
The
anger of God was kindled against Uzza and he smote him because
he put his hand to The Ark and there he died before God.
David
was displeased because God had made a breach upon Uzza wherefore
that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
David
was afraid of God that day saying How shall I bring The Ark
of God home to me ?
So
David brought not The Ark home to himself to the City of David
carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
The
Ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house
three months.
God
blessed the house of Obededom and all that he had.
Now
The Days of David Drew Nigh - that he should die and
He
Charged Solomon His Son Saying - I go the way of all The
Earth.
Be Thou Strong Therefore - and shew thyself a Man and
Keep
The Charge - of Thy God
To
walk in his ways to keep his statutes and his commandments and
His
Judgments and His Testimonies - as it is written in The Law
of Moses
That
Thou Mayest Prosper - in all that thou doest and whithersoever
thou turnest thyself
That God may continue his word that he spake concerning me saying
If
thy children take heed to their way to walk before me in truth
with all their heart and
With
all their soul there shall not fail thee said he a Man on the
throne of Hebrews.
Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did
to me and
What
he did to the two captains of the hosts of Hebrews to Abner
the son of Ner and
To
Amasa the son of Jether whom he slew and shed the blood of war
in peace and
Put
the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins and
In
His Shoes That Were
- on his feet.
Do Therefore According To Thy Wisdom
Let
Not His Hoar Head - go down to the grave in peace.
Shew Kindness To The Sons of Barzillai -
the Gileadite and
Let
Them Be of Those - that eat at Thy Table
For
So They Came To Me When I Fled -
because of Absalom thy brother.
Behold Thou Hast With Thee Shimei - the
son of Gera a Benjamite of Bahurim
That
Cursed Me With a Grievous Curse
- in the day when I went to Mahanaim but
He
Came Down To Meet Me at Jordan
- and I sware to him by God saying
I Will Not Put Thee - to death with the sword.
Now
Therefore Hold Him Not Guiltless - for Thou art a Wise Man
and
Knowest
What Thou Oughtest To Do - to him
but
His
Hoar Head Bring Thou Down - to the grave with blood.
So
David Slept With His Fathers - and was buried in The City of
David.
The
Days That David Reigned Over Hebrews - were forty years
Seven
Years - reigned he in Hebron and
Thirty
Three Years - reigned he in Jerusalem.
After
King David’s Death Hiram Continued To Maintain Friendly
Relations -
with King Solomon explained in a letter
to Hiram.
You know
that because of the constant wars my father David had to fight
against the enemy countries all round him he could not build
a Temple for the worship of God
Until God
had given him victory over all his enemies.
