Then did all Israel gather themselves together to David, unto Hebron, saying, - Lo! thy bone and thy flesh, are we.

And of the children of Benjamin the brethren of Saul, were three thousand. And a great part of them did yet follow the house of Saul.

Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

Remember ye his wonders which he did, and his miracles, and the judgments of his mouth;

he did not let anyone wrong them. He warned kings on their behalf,

In all my going about with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?

I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle them there; they will live there and not be disturbed anymore. Violent men will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginning

And David will say to God, I sinned greatly that I did this word: and now cause to pass away now the iniquity of thy servant, for I acted very foolishly.

And David said unto God, Was it not, I, who gave word to number the people? Yea, I, it was who sinned and did the great wrong, what then had, these sheep, done? O Yahweh, my God, let thy hand, I beseech thee, be against me, and against the house of my father, but not against, thy people, that they should be plagued!
