However, Yahweh did not turn from the fierceness of his great anger which was kindled against Judah because of all of the provocations [with] which Manasseh had provoked him.

The remainder of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, [are] they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?

He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all his ancestors had done.

And, the silver and the gold, did Jehoiakim give unto Pharaoh, howbeit he assessed the land, that he might give the silver at the bidding of Pharaoh, - every man, according to his assessment, exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, that he might give it to Pharaoh-necoh.

He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his ancestors had done.

Surely at the commandment of Yahweh came this on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,

The remainder of the acts of Jehoiakim and all that he did, [are] they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?

Jehoiakim died, as did his ancestors, and his son Jehoiachin became king in his place.

The king of Egypt did not again come out from his land, for the king of Babylon had taken [territory] from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.

He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh according to all that his father had done.

And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.

King Jehoiachin of Judah surrendered to the king of Babylon (as did his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers) during the eighth year of his reign.

And all the men of activity to the number of seven thousand, and craftsmen and joiners a thousand, all strong and apt for war, did the king of Babylon bring to Babylon to dwell.

He did evil in the eyes of Yahweh [just] like all that Jehoiakim had done.

For through the anger of Yahweh did it happen in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

And, the walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.

The residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.

But, of the poorest of the land, did the chief of the royal executioners, leave, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.

The pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

and, the caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away;

and, the sprinkling pans and the dashing bowls which were of gold, in gold, and which were of silver, in silver, did, the chief of the royal executions, take away.

As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.

But it chanced the seventh month after, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama of the king's blood came, and ten men with him and smote Gedaliah that he died: and so did he to the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizphah.

It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.

The sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah; these three were his sons by Bathshua, the Canaanite woman. And Er, Judah's oldest son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and he put him to death.

And the sons of Carmi: Achan, the troubler of Israel, who did wrong about the cursed thing.

Sheshan had no sons, only daughters, but he did have an Egyptian servant whose name was Jarha.

and Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters. And his brethren had not many sons; neither did all their family multiply like to the sons of Judah.

And they did evil against the God of their fathers, worshipping the gods of the people of the land, whom God had put to destruction before them.

And these are those who did this work, and their sons. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman, who made melody, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel,

But Aaron and his sons did all the work of the most holy place. They presented the offerings on the altar of burnt offerings and on the altar of incense to make atonement for Israel according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.

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

All these who were chosen to be porters in the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their office of trust.

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

And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and came to his death.

And all Jabesh-Gilead will hear all that the rovers did to Saul,

So Saul died on account of his sin which he had sinned against Yahweh concerning the command of Yahweh that he did not keep. He also consulted a medium to seek [guidance].

But he did not seek Yahweh. So Yahweh put him to death and turned over the kingship to David, the son of Jesse.

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

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Yet David did capture the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

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 he said, "Far be it from me [that] I would do this before my God. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For {at the risk of their lives} they brought it." And he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

{He was twice as renowned} among the three and was their commander. But he did not attain to the three.

[And] Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] {a strong man} from Kabzeel, [one who did] great deeds. He himself struck down two [sons of] Ariel of Moab. And he himself went down and struck down a lion within a pit on a snowy day.

These things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did and had a name among the three mighty warriors.

He himself was certainly distinguished among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David appointed him over his bodyguard.

And some Manassites deserted to David when he came with the Philistines to the battle against Saul, but he did not help them, for the rulers of the Philistines sent him away upon counsel, saying, "He will desert to his master Saul at [the cost of] our heads."

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 let us bring around the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul."

So David did not move the ark to himself into the city of David but diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.

And David did as God commanded him, and they struck the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon to 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.

For because ye did it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

David wore a robe made from fine linen, as did all of the descendants of Levi who were carrying the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the music and choir director. David also wore a linen ephod.

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

Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,

he did not allow anyone to oppress them, and he rebuked kings on their account,

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

I will be his father and he shall be my son, and I will not put my mercy away from him as I did from him that was before thee.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

And you did not stop there, O God! You have also spoken about the future of your servant's family. You have revealed to me what men long to know, O Lord God.

What other one nation on the earth is like your people Israel, God, which you have redeemed from slavery to become your own people, making a great name for yourself when you redeemed your people from Egypt. You did awesome miraculous deeds, driving out nations that stood in their way.

For your people Israel did you make your own people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.

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.

These also did king David dedicate to Yahweh, with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

And David reigned over all Israel, and did judgment and justice among all his people.

and David saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David come in unto the land of the sons of Ammon, unto Hanun, to comfort him,

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.

He brought out the people who were in it and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. David did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then he and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.

But he did not include Levi and Benjamin in the count because the king’s command was detestable to him.

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 to God, Did not I command to number the people? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed. But these sheep, what have they done? I pray You, let Your hand be on me, O Jehovah my God, and on my father's house, but not on Your 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;

Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became an ancestral house and received a single assignment.

Eliezer’s sons were Rehabiah, first; Eliezer did not have any other sons, but Rehabiah’s sons were very numerous.

And Eleazar died, and he did not have sons, but only daughters. And the sons of Kish, their relatives, married them.

These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.

They also stood in a designated place every morning and offered thanks and praise to the Lord. They also did this in the evening

Nadab and Abihu died before their father did; they had no sons. Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

They also cast lots the same way as their relatives the sons of Aaron did in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites—the family heads and their younger brothers alike.

Moreover, David and the captains of the army set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with stringed instruments, and with cymbals: and the number of those who did the work according to their service was:

These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their leading men, had duties for ministering in the Lord’s temple, just as their brothers did.

Out of the spoil won in battles did they dedicate to repair the house of Yahweh.

As for the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 respected men, were assigned responsibilities in Israel west of the Jordan; they did the Lord's work and the king's service.

David didn’t count the men aged 20 or under, for the Lord had said He would make Israel as numerous as the stars of heaven.

Joab son of Zeruiah began to count them, but he didn’t complete it. There was wrath against Israel because of this census, and the number was not entered in the Historical Record of King David.

And over those who did the work in the field to till the soil [was] Ezri the son of Kelub.

So the leaders of the ancestral households presented their voluntary offerings, as did the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's business.

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.

And David said to all the congregation, Bless now Jehovah your God. And all the congregation blessed Jehovah the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and did homage to Jehovah and the king.

And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.

with [accounts of] all his reign, and his power, and the times and circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the [surrounding] lands.

In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

Then God said to Solomon, "Because this was with your heart and you did not ask for wealth, possessions, honor, and the lives of your enemies, and also did not ask for {long life}, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge that you might judge my people over whom I have made you king,

wisdom and knowledge, are granted unto thee, - moreover, riches and wealth and honour, will I give thee, such as the kings who were before thee did not possess, neither shall they who come after thee possess the like.
