And they will be there with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren prepared for them.

And David will counsel with the chiefs of the thousands and the hundreds, to every leader.

And David said to all the convocation of Israel, If, unto you, it seemeth to be good, and from Yahweh our God, we will urgently send unto our brethren who remain in all the lands of Israel, and, with them, the priests and the Levites in their pasture-land cities, - that they may gather together unto us;

Let's move the ark of our God back here, for we did not seek his will throughout Saul's reign."

And all the convocation will say to do thus: for the word was straight in the eyes of all the people.

And David will convoke together all Israel from Sihor of Egypt and even to the going in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from the cities of the forests.

And David will go up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to the cities of the forests which were to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God Jehovah dwelling in the cherubims, which the name was called.

And they will come to the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza will stretch forth his hand to hold firm the ark; for the oxen thrust it

And the anger of Jehovah will be kindled against Uzza, and he will strike him for that he stretched forth his hand upon the ark: and he will die their before God.

And it will kindle to David because Jehovah broke forth a breach upon Uzza: and he will call to this place, This the Breach of Uzza, even to this day.

David was afraid of God that day and said, "How will I ever be able to bring the ark of God up here?"

And David removed not the ark of God from the city of David, and he will turn it away to the house of Obed-Edom the Gathite.

And the ark of God will dwell with the house of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Jehovah will bless the house of Obed-Edom, and all which is to him.

And Hiram king of Tyre will send messengers to David, and trees of cedars and workmen of the wall and workmen of woods to build for him a house.

And David will take yet wives in Jerusalem: and David will yet beget sons and daughters.

And the rovers will hear that David was anointed for king over all Israel, and all the rovers will come up to seek David. And David will hear and he will go forth before them.

And the rovers came and they will spread out in the valley of the shades.

Then David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you put them into my hand?" And Yahweh said to him, "Go up. I will put them into your hand."

And he went up to Baal-Perazim, and David struck them there. And David said, "God has burst out against my enemies by my hand like waters burst out." Therefore they will call the name of this place Baal-Perazim.

And they will leave their gods there, and David will say, and they will burn in fire.

And the rovers will yet add, and they will spread out in the valley.

And David will yet ask in God: and God will say to him, Thou shalt not go up after them; turn about from off them, and go to them from the front of the weepings.

And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

And David will do as Jehovah commanded him: and they will strike the camp of the rovers from Gibeon even to Gaza.

And the name of David will go forth into all lands; and Jehovah gave his fear upon all the nations..

And he will make to himself houses in the city of David, and, he will prepare a place for the ark of God, and will spread for it a tent,.

And David will convoke all Israel together to Jerusalem, to lift up the ark of Jehovah to its place which he prepared for it.

And David will gather together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:

And David will call for Zadok and for Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel and Aminadab,

And he will say to them, Ye heads of the fathers to the Levites: ye shall purify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and bring ye up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to that I prepared for it.

And the priests will purify themselves and the Levites to bring up the ark of Jehovah God of Israel

And the sons of the Levites will lift up the ark of God as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, upon the shoulders, with the rods upon them.

And David will say to the chiefs of the Levites to cause their brethren to stand singing with every instrument of song, lyres and harps, and cymbals, causing to hear to lift up with the voice for joy.

And the Levites wilt set up He-man son of Joel; and from his brethren, Asaph son of Berechiah; and from the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan son of Kushaiah;

And David will be, and the old men of Israel and the chiefs of thousands, going to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

And it will be in God's helping the Levites lifting up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and they will sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams.

And the ark of the covenant of Jehovah will be coming even to the city of David, and Michel daughter of Saul, looking forth from a window, and she will see king David leaping and playing: and she will despise him in her heart.

And they will bring the ark of God and set it in the midst of the tent which David stretched out for it: and they will bring near burnt-offerings and peace before God.

And David will finish the bringing up of the burnt-offering and the peace, and he will bless the people in the name of Jehovah.

And he will divide to every man of Israel from man and even to woman, to each a round of bread, and a measure and cakes.

And he will give before the ark of Jehovah from the Levites serving, and for keeping in remembrance, and to confess and to praise to Jehovah God of Israel.

And he will cause it to stand to Jacob for a law, to Israel a covenant forever,

“I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.”

And they will go about from nation to nation, and from kingdom to another people;

And he permitted not to a man to oppress them: and for them he will reprove kings:

Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

Then the trees of the forest will shout for joy before the Lord,
for He is coming to judge the earth.

Say this prayer: "Deliver us, O God who delivers us! Gather us! Rescue us from the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds."

Praised be Jehovah God of Israel from forever and even to forever. And all the people will say, Amen, and praise to Jehovah.

And he will leave there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to Asaph and to his brethren, to serve before the ark always, for the word of a day in its day.

And all the people will go each to his house: and David will turn about to bless his house.

And it will be as David will sit in his house, and David will say to Nathan the prophet, Behold me dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah under curtains.

And Nathan will say to David, Do all that is thy heart; for God is with thee.

And it will be in that night, and the word of God will be to Nathan, saying,

For I dwelt not in a house from the day that I brought up Israel even to this day: and I will be from tent to tent, and from a dwelling

“Now this is what you will say to My servant David: ‘This is what the Lord of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from following the sheep to be ruler over My people Israel.

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you. I will make a name for you like that of the greatest in the land.

I will establish a place for My people Israel and plant them, so that they may live there and not be disturbed again. Evildoers will not continue to oppress them as they formerly have

ever since the day I ordered judges to be over My people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies.

“‘Furthermore, I declare to you that the Lord Himself will build a house for you.

When your time comes to be with your fathers, I will raise up after you your descendant, who is one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.

I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me. I will not take away My faithful love from him as I took it from the one who was before you.

I will appoint him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.’”

And king David will come and sit before Jehovah, and he will say, Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that thou broughtest me even to hither?

and hast made this seem little in thine eyes, O God, in that thou hast spoken concerning the house of thy servant, for a great while to come? Thus wilt thou provide for me, according to the rank of manhood, and hast exalted me, O Yahweh God!

Lord, You have done all this greatness, making known all these great promises because of Your servant and according to Your will.

And thou wilt give thy people Israel to thee for a people even to forever; and thou, O Jehovah, wert to them for God.

so it may become a reality and you may gain lasting fame, as people say, 'The Lord who commands armies is the God of Israel.' David's dynasty will be established before you,

Since You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house, Your servant has found courage to pray in Your presence.

And now, O Jehovah, thou thyself art God, and thou wilt speak concerning thy servant this goodness.

And now may you begin to bless the house of your servant {to continue forever} before you, for you, O Yahweh, have blessed. And it will be blessed forever."

And it will be after this, and David will strike the rovers, and he will subdue them, and take Gath and her daughters from the hand of the rovers.

And he will strike Moab; and Moab will be servants to David, lifting up a gift

And David will strike Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, in his going to set up his hand upon the river Phrath.

And David will take from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot: and David will root up every chariot, and David will leave from them a hundred chariots.

And Aram of Darmesek will come to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David will strike in Aram twenty and two thousand men.

And David will set up in Aram of Darmesek; and Aram will be servants to David, lifting up a gift And Jehovah will save for David in all which he went

And David will take the shields of gold that were upon the servants of Hadarezer, and he will bring them to Jerusalem.

And Tou, king of Hamath, will hear that David struck all the power of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

And he will send Hadoram his son to king David to ask to him for peace and to bless him because he fought against Hadarezer, and he will strike him; (for Hadarezer was a man of war with Tou;) and all vessels of gold and silver and brass.

And be will set up garrisons in Edom; and all Edom will be servants to David. And Jehovah will save David in all which he went

And David will reign over all Israel, and he will be doing judgment and justice to all his people.

And it will be after this, Nahash king of the sons of Ammon will die, and his son will reign in his stead.

And David said, "I will deal kindly with Hanun the son of Nahash because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David came to the land of the {Ammonites}, to Hanun, to comfort him.

And the chiefs of the sons of Ammon will say to Hanun, Is David honoring thy father in thine eyes, that he sent comforters to thee? is it not in order to search out, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land, came his servants to thee?

And Hanun will take David's servants and shave them, and cut off their garments in the half, even to the step, and he will send them away.

And they will go and announce to David concerning the men; and he will send to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king will say, Sit in Jericho till your beard shall spring up, and turn ye back.

And the sons of Ammon will see that they were loathsome with David, and Hanun will send, and the sons of Ammon, a thousand talents of silver to hire to them from Aram of the rivers and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen.

And they will hire to them two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they will come and encamp before Medeba. And the sons of Ammon were gathered together from their cities, and they will come to the battle.

And David will hear, and he will send Joab and all the army of strong ones.

And the sons of Ammon will go forth and set the battle in array at the entrance of the city: and the kings that came by themselves into the field.

And Joab will see that the face of the battle Was against him, before and behind; and he will choose from all the young men in Israel, and he will set in array to meet Aram.

And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he will set in array to meet the sons of Ammon.

And he said, "If Aram is too strong for me, then you must be a help to me, but if the {Ammonites} are too strong for you, then I will help you.

Be strong! We must prove ourselves strong for our people and for the cities of our God. May the Lord’s will be done.”

And Joab will draw near, and the people which are with him, before Aram to battle; and they will flee from before him.

And the sons of Ammon saw that Aram fled, and they will flee also themselves from the face of Abishai his brother, and they will come into the city. And Joab will come to Jerusalem.

And Aram will see that they were smitten before Israel, and they will send messengers and bring forth Aram that was from beyond the river: and Shophach the chief of the army of Hadarezer before them.

And it will be announced to David; and he will gather together all Israel, and he will pass over Jordan and come against them, and he will set in array against them. And David will set the battle in array to meet Aram, and they will wage war with him.

And Aram will flee from the face of Israel; and David will kill from Aram seven thousand chariots and forty thousand footmen; and he killed Shophach chief of the army.
