And, Shimei, had sixteen sons, and six daughters, but, his brethren, had not many children, - nor did, any of their family, multiply so much as the sons of Judah.

And, Mikloth, begat Shimeah, - moreover also, they, over against their brethren, did dwell in Jerusalem, with their own brethren.

All those who were chosen for door-keepers in the vestibule, were two hundred and twelve, - the same, in their villages, had registered themselves, the same, did David and Samuel the seer establish in their trust.

And, Mikloth, begat Shimeam - and, they also, over against their brethren, did dwell in Jerusalem, along with their brethren.

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

And David dwelt in the citadel, - for this cause, did they call it, The City of David.

Thus did David wax greater and yet greater, - and, Yahweh of Hosts, was with him.

and said - Far be it from me, of my God, that I should do this! The blood of these men, shall I drink, with their lives? For, with their lives, have they brought it! So he would not drink it. These things, did the three heroes.

Of the three in the second rank, was he honourable, therefore became he their captain, - though, unto the first three, did he not attain.

These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.

Among the thirty, lo! honourable, was he, but, unto the first three, did he not attain, - howbeit David set him over his council.

So David did as God commanded him, - and they smote the host of the Philistines, from Gibeon even unto Gezer.

Then, said David, None must carry the ark of God, save the Levites, - for, of them, did Yahweh make choice, to bear the ark of Yahweh, and to attend it, unto times age-abiding.

Because, at the first, ye, did not bring it , Yahweh our God brake forth against us, because we sought him not in the appointed way.

also, from Tibhath and from Cun, cities of Hadarezer, David took very much bronze, - therewith, did Solomon make the sea of bronze, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, with the silver and the gold, that he bare away from all the nations, - from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

Then did Joab, and all the people who were with him, draw near before the Syrians unto the battle, - and they fled from before him.

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!

and, iron in abundance, for nails for the doors of the gates, and for hooks, did David prepare, - and bronze in abundance, without weight;

Joab son of Zeruiah, began to number, but finished not, when there arose, on this account, indignation against Israel, - neither did the number come up into the account of the chronicles of King David.

Therefore did David bless Yahweh in the eyes of all the convocation, - and David said, Blessed art thou, O Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, from age even unto age.

Then said David, unto all the convocation, Bless, I beseech you, Yahweh your God. So all the convocation blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and did bend their heads and bow themselves down unto Yahweh, and unto the king;

And so they did eat and drink before Yahweh on that day, with great joy, - and they, the second time, made Solomon son of David king, and anointed him unto Yahweh to be chief ruler, and Zadok to be priest.
