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

Then went David and all Israel to Jerusalem, the same, was Jebus, - where were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.

Now, these, are the chiefs of the heroes, that pertained to David, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, - according to the word of Yahweh, concerning Israel.

he, was with David in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley, - and, the people, fled, from before the Philistines;

And, Abishai brother of Joab - he, was the chief of three, he, having brandished his spear against three hundred - who were slain, - and so, he, had a name among three.

armed with the bow, using right hand or left with stones, and with arrows in the bow, - of the brethren of Saul, out of Benjamin:

And, of the Gadites, there separated themselves unto David, to the stronghold towards the desert, heroes of valour, men of war, for battle, men that could handle shield and spear, - and, faces of lions, were their faces, and, like gazelles upon the mountains, were they, for swiftness:

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, of Manasseh, there fell away unto David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but they helped them not, - for the lords of the Philistines advisedly sent him away, saying, At the price of our heads, he might fall away to his master, Saul.

and, they, helped with David, against the marauding band, for, heroes of valour, were they all, - and they became captains in the host;

And, these, are the numbers of the chiefs armed for war, they came unto David, to Hebron, - to turn round the kingdom of Saul unto him, according to the bidding of Yahweh:

Sons of Judah, bearers of shield and spear, six thousand and eight hundred, armed for war.

Of sons of Simeon, heroes of valour for the war, seven thousand, and one hundred.

And, of the half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, who were distinguished by name, coming in to make David king.

And, of the sons of Issachar, such as were of good understanding of the times, to know what Israel, should do, their chiefs, were two hundred, and, all their brethren, were at their bidding.

And, of the Danite, expert for war, twenty-eight thousand, and six hundred.

And, of Asher, such as were ready to go forth in host to set in array for battle, forty thousand.

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.

So they were there, with David, three days, eating and drinking, - for their brethren had made preparation for them.

Moreover also, they who were near of kin unto them, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing bread, on asses and on camels and on mules and on oxen, meal-food, cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep - in abundance, - for there was joy Israel.

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;

and let us bring round the ark of our God, unto us, - For they sought it not, in the days of Saul.

And they carried the ark of God, upon a new wagon, out of the house of Aminadab, - and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving the waggon.

And, David and all Israel, were dancing for joy before God, with all boldness, and with songs and with lyres, and with harps and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

And, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.

Now, these, are the names of them who were born, whom he had in Jerusalem, - Shammua and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;

And they left their gods there, - and David gave the word, and they were burned up in fire.

and said unto them, Ye, are the chiefs of the fathers of the Levites, - Hallow yourselves, ye and your brethren, so shall ye bring up the ark of Yahweh - God of Israel, into the place I have prepared for it.

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.

And, the singers, Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of bronze, were to sound aloud;

And, Berechiah and Elkanah, were door-keepers to the ark.

And, Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were blowing with the trumpets, before the ark of God, - and, Obed-edom and Jehiah, were door-keepers, to the ark.

Thus, it was, David and the elders of Israel, and the rulers of thousands, who were going, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, out of the house of Obed-edom, with joy.

And so it was that, when God helped the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.

Now, David, was wrapped about with a robe of byssus, with all the Levites who were bearing the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the leader of the service rendered by the singers, - but, upon David, was an ephod of white linen.

So, all Israel, were bringing up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, - sounding aloud, with harps, and lyres.

Boast yourselves in his holy name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.

Yahweh himself, is our God, through all the land, are his just decisions.

Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, as your inherited portion:

While, as yet, ye were men who could be counted, a very few, and sojourners therein:

For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought, but, Yahweh, made, the heavens.

Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and joy, are in his dwelling-place.

And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us and deliver us, from among the nations, - that we may give thanks unto thy holy name, that we may triumph aloud in thy praise.

and, with them, Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of the chosen ones, who were distinguished by name, - to give thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness!

and was with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have out off all thine enemies, from before thee, - and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones, who are in the earth;

and will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, - neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out, as at the first;

And it shall be that, when thy days are fulfilled, to sleep with thy fathers, then will I raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons, - and I will establish his kingdom.
