And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before there reigned a king over the children of Israel: Bela the son of Beor; and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

and Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who ruled over Moab, and Jashubi-lehem. And these are ancient things.

for, Judah, prevailed over his brethren, so that, even the prince, is from him, - although, the birthright, pertaineth to Joseph;

and, in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand, - so they dwelt in their tents, over all the face of the land east of Gilead.

And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan, as far as Salcah:

They received divine help in fighting them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them. They cried out to God during the battle; he responded to their prayers because they trusted in him.

And these are they whom David set over the service of song in the house of Jehovah after that the ark was in rest.

so they became attendants before the habitation of the tent of meeting, with song, until Solomon built the house of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, - and they took their stand according to their prescribed manner over their work.

But, Aaron and his sons, were to make perfume upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice, and upon the altar of incense, according to all the service of the holy of holies, - even for putting a propitiatory-covering over Israel, according go all that, Moses, the servant of God, commanded.

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

And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, and their fathers, set over the camp of Jehovah, were keepers of the entrance.

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them formerly; Jehovah was with him.

So, they and their sons, were over the gates of the house of Yahweh, of the house of the tent, by watches.

For in their trust these four were the chief doorkeepers: they were Levites; and they were over the chambers and over the treasuries of the house of God;

And, round about the house of God, used they to lodge, - for, upon them, was the charge, and they were over the setting open, morning by morning.

And, some from among them, were over the utensils of the service, - for, by number, used they to bring them in, and, by number, used they to take them forth.

Part of them also were appointed over the vessels, and over all the holy instruments, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

And Mattithiah of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, was in trust over the things that were made in the pans.

And some of the sons of the Kohathites, their brethren, were over the loaves to be set in rows, to prepare them every sabbath.

Now these [were] the singers; the heads of the {families} of the Levites [were] in the chambers free from other service, for day and night [they were] over them on the service.

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

Thus died Saul, for his unfaithfulness wherewith he dealt unfaithfully against Yahweh, over the word of Yahweh, which he kept not, - and, also, in asking by necromancy when he desired to enquire;

and did not inquire of the Lord [instead]. Therefore the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

Moreover also, in time past even when Saul was king, thou, wast he that led out and brought in Israel, - and Yahweh thy God said unto thee, Thou, shalt shepherd my people Israel, Yea, thou, shalt be chief ruler, over my people Israel.

Thus came all the elders of Israel unto the king, to Hebron, and David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, - and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh, through Samuel.

These were the leaders of David's warriors who helped establish and stabilize his rule over all Israel, in accordance with the Lord's word.

And, this, is the number of the heroes who pertained to David, - Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty, the same, brandished his spear over three hundred - slain at one time.

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

Adina, son of Shiza, the Reubenite, a chief of the Reubenites and over the thirty;

and Ishmaiah, the Gibeonite, a hero among the thirty, and over the thirty, - and Jeremiah and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, the Gederathite;

Courageous men from the Gadites came over to David in the stronghold in the wilderness, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and who were swift as gazelles on the mountains.

These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over a hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

These, are they who passed over the Jordan, in the first month, when, it, was full, over all its banks, - and they put to flight all them of the vales, to the east and to the west.

And the spirit came upon Amasai a captain over thirty and he said, "Thine are we, David, and on thy side thou son of Jesse: peace be with thee, and peace be with thine helpers, for thy God helpeth thee." Then David received them and made them heads of companies of the men of war.

And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.

Then when he went back to Ziklag, there came over to him, of the men of Manasseh, Adnah and Jozabad and Jediael and Michael and Jozabad and Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands from the armies of Manasseh.

and they have helped with David over the troop, for mighty of valour are all of them, and they are captains in the host,

The numbers of the armed troops who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, according to the Lord’s word, were as follows:

And, from over the Jordan, of the Reubenites and Gadites and half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of weapons of war for battle, a hundred and twenty thousand.

All these, being men of war, expert in setting in battle-array, with a perfect heart, came to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel, - moreover also, all the rest of Israel, were of one heart to make David king.

And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.

So David perceived, that Yahweh, had confirmed him, as king over Israel, - that his kingship was exalted, for the sake of his people Israel.

And, when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek to secure David, - and David, hearing, went out against them.

David asked God, "Should I march up against the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?" The Lord said to him, "March up! I will hand them over to you!"

So David, asked again, of God, and God said to him, Thou shalt not go up after them, - get thee round, away from them, so shalt thou come in upon them, over against the mulberry-trees;

and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah and Benaiah, - with harps, over the trebles;

and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel and Azaziah, - with lyres over the bass, to take the lead.

Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.

And David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

When David finished offering burnt sacrifices and peace offerings, he pronounced a blessing over the people in the Lord's name.

And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel;

and since the days that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. And I will subdue all thine enemies; and I tell thee that Jehovah will build thee a house.

but I will cause him to remain over my house and over my kingdom, unto times age-abiding, - and, his throne, shall be established, unto times age-abiding.

Let Your name be confirmed and magnified forever in the saying, “Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.” May the house of Your servant David be established before You.

he sent his son Hadoram to King David to extend his best wishes and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Tou had been at war with Hadadezer. He also sent various items made of gold, silver, and bronze.

And David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice to all his people.

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;

and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were the first at the king's hand.

David said, "I will express my loyalty to Hanun son of Nahash, for his father was loyal to me." So David sent messengers to express his sympathy over his father's death. When David's servants entered Ammonite territory to visit Hanun and express the king's sympathy,

And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. And David put the battle in array against the Syrians, and they fought with him.

Joab replied, “May the Lord multiply the number of His people a hundred times over! My lord the king, aren’t they all my lord’s servants? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”

Yet the king’s order prevailed over Joab. So Joab left and traveled throughout Israel and then returned to Jerusalem.

And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he was about to destroy it, the Lord saw and was sorry over the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, “It is enough; now relax your hand.” And the angel of the Lord was standing by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of Jehovah stand between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.

but it happened [that] the word of Yahweh [came] over me, saying, 'You have shed much blood and have made much war; you shall not build a house for my name because you have shed much blood upon the ground before me.

He shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

Only, Jehovah give thee wisdom and understanding, and place thee over Israel, and to keep the law of Jehovah thy God.

He told them, "The Lord your God is with you! He has made you secure on every side, for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region and the region is subdued before the Lord and his people.

And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

And the Levites, all those of thirty years old and over, were numbered; and the number of them, by heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

Of these, twenty-four thousand were to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;

These were the sons of Levi, grouped by families, the heads of the families of those who were numbered by name, by heads, all those of twenty years old and over who did the work of the house of the Lord.

So among the last acts of David was the numbering of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and over.

For their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of all holy things, and for the work of the service of the house of God;

The holy bread was in their care, and the crushed grain for the meal offering, of unleavened cakes or meal cooked over the fire or in water; they had control of all sorts of weights and measures;

By doing this, they will fulfill their obligation as trustees over the Tent of Assembly and the Sanctuary, attending to the needs of their relatives, who are descendants of Aaron, in keeping with their service on behalf of the Temple of the LORD."

And more sons of Eleazar were found as heads of the men than the sons of Ithamar, so they divided them to the sons of Eleazar [to be] sixteen heads over the house of the fathers, and to the sons of Ithamar over the house of the fathers [were] eight [heads].

These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.

And they cast lots with one another over the charges, the small as well as the great, the teacher with the scholar.

Also, to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their ancestral houses because they were strong, capable men.

According to these are the courses of the gatekeepers; to the heads of the mighty ones are charges over-against their brethren, to minister in the house of Jehovah,

And, the Levites, their brethren, were over the treasuries of the house of God, even to the treasuries of hallowed things.

the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother who were over the treasuries of the house of Yahweh.

And, Shebuel, son of Gershom, son of Moses, was chief ruler over the treasuries.

The same Shelomoth and his brethren, were over all the treasuries of the hallowed things, which David the king and the ancestral chiefs, with the captains of thousands and hundreds and the captains of the army, had hallowed:

And all Samuel the seer consecrated, and Saul son of Kish, and Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, all consecrating over the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.

Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons, were for the outward business over Israel, - as officers, and as judges.

Of the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, were in charge of the affairs of Israel west of the Jordan, for all the work of the Lord and the service of the king.

and, his brethren that were heroes of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred, ancestral chiefs, - so David the king gave them oversight, over the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manassites, in all the affairs of God, and the affairs of the king.

Over the first course, for the first month, was Jashobeam, son of Zabdiel, - and, in his course, were twenty-four thousand.
