For ye not from the first, Jehovah our God broke forth upon us, for we sought him not according to judgment

And the priests will purify themselves and the Levites to bring up the ark of Jehovah God of Israel

And the sons of the Levites will lift up the ark of God as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, upon the shoulders, with the rods upon them.

And David will say to the chiefs of the Levites to cause their brethren to stand singing with every instrument of song, lyres and harps, and cymbals, causing to hear to lift up with the voice for joy.

And those singing, Heman, Asaph and Ethan, with cymbals of brass to cause to hear;

And Mattithiah and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps upon the Sheminith to shine.

And Berechiah and Elkanah gate-keepers to the ark

And Shebaniah and Jehoshaphat, and Nathaniel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, trumpeting with trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom and Jehiah, gate-keepers to the ark.

And David will be, and the old men of Israel and the chiefs of thousands, going to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

And all Israel bringing up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with a signal and with the voice of the horn, and with trumpets and with cymbals causing to hear, and with lyres and harps.

And the ark of the covenant of Jehovah will be coming even to the city of David, and Michel daughter of Saul, looking forth from a window, and she will see king David leaping and playing: and she will despise him in her heart.

And he will divide to every man of Israel from man and even to woman, to each a round of bread, and a measure and cakes.

And he will give before the ark of Jehovah from the Levites serving, and for keeping in remembrance, and to confess and to praise to Jehovah God of Israel.

Asaph the head, and his second, Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: and Jeiel with instruments of lyres and harps; and Asaph with trumpets causing to hear;

In that day thus David gave at the first to confess to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

Confess ye to Jehovah, call upon his name, make known among the peoples his deeds.

Sing ye to him, play on the harp to him, speak upon all his wonders.

Remember ye forever his covenant; the word be commanded to a thousand generations;

Which he cut out with Abraham, and his oath to Isaak.

And he will cause it to stand to Jacob for a law, to Israel a covenant forever,

Saying, To thee I will give the land of Canaan, the cord of your inheritance;

And they will go about from nation to nation, and from kingdom to another people;

And he permitted not to a man to oppress them: and for them he will reprove kings:

Ye shall not touch upon my Messiah, and upon my prophets ye shall not do evil.

Sing ye to Jehovah, all the earth; announce good news, from day to day his salvation.

For great is Jehovah, and greatly praised: and he to be feared above all gods.

Give to Jehovah ye families of the peoples, give to Jehovah glory and strength.

Give ye to Jehovah the glory of his name: lift up a gift and come before him: worship to Jehovah the ornaments of holiness.

Then shall the trees of the forest shout from the face of Jehovah, for he came to judge the earth.

Confess ye to Jehovah, for he is good, for his mercy is forever.

And say ye, Save us, God of our salvation, and gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to confess to thy holy name, to glory in thy praise.

Praised be Jehovah God of Israel from forever and even to forever. And all the people will say, Amen, and praise to Jehovah.

And he will leave there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to Asaph and to his brethren, to serve before the ark always, for the word of a day in its day.

To bring up burnt-offerings to Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering always at morning and at evening, and according to all written in the law of Jehovah which he charged upon Israel;

And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest being chosen, who were separated by names to confess to Jehovah: for his mercy is forever.

And with them Heman and Jeduthun, with trumpets and cymbals to cause to hear, and instruments of song of God. And the sons of Jeduthun at the gate.

And all the people will go each to his house: and David will turn about to bless his house.

And it will be as David will sit in his house, and David will say to Nathan the prophet, Behold me dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah under curtains.

And Nathan will say to David, Do all that is thy heart; for God is with thee.

And it will be in that night, and the word of God will be to Nathan, saying,

Go and say to David my servant, Thus said Jehovah, Thou shalt not build to me a house to dwell in:

For I dwelt not in a house from the day that I brought up Israel even to this day: and I will be from tent to tent, and from a dwelling

In all that I went about in all Israel, spake I the word with one of the judges of Israel that I commanded to feed my people, saying, Wherefore built ye not to me a house of cedars

And now, thus shalt thou say to my servant, to David, Thus said Jehovah of armies, I took thee from the dwelling from behind the flocks to be leader over my people Israel:

And I will be with thee in all which thou walkedst, and I will cut off all thine enemies from thy face, and I made to thee a name as the name of the great ones which are in the earth.

And I set a place for my people Israel, and I planted him, and he dwelt in his place, and he shall no more be disturbed; and the sons of evil shall not add to vex him, as in the beginning.

And to the days which I commanded judges over my people Israel; and I brought low all thine enemies. And I will announce to thee, and Jehovah will build a house to thee.

And it was When thy days were completed to go with thy fathers, and I raised up thy seed after thee, which shall be from thy sons; and I prepared his kingdom.

He shall build to me a house, and I prepared his throne even to forever.

I will be to him for father, and het shall be to me for son: and my mercy will I not remove from him as I removed from him being before thee.

And I caused him to stand in my house and in my kingdom even to forever: and his throne shall be set up even to forever.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan the prophet to David.

And king David will come and sit before Jehovah, and he will say, Who am I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that thou broughtest me even to hither?

And this will be small in thine eyes, O God; and thou wilt speak upon the house of thy servant to far off, and thou sawest me according to the manner of the man of the ascent, O Jehovah God.

What more shall David add to thee to honor thy servant? for thou knewest thy servant.

O Jehovah, for sake of thy servant, and according to thy heart, thou didst all this greatness to make known all thy greatnesses

And what one nation as thy people Israel, in the earth, whom God went to redeem to him a people to set up to thee a name of greatnesses and terrible things, to thrust out nations from before thy people, whom thou didst redeem from Egypt?

And thou wilt give thy people Israel to thee for a people even to forever; and thou, O Jehovah, wert to them for God.

And now, O Jehovah, the word which thou spakest concerning thy servant and concerning his house, shall be faithful even to forever, and do as thou spakest

And it shall be firm, and thy name shall be magnified even to forever, saying, Jehovah of armies, God of Israel, is God to Israel: and the house of David thy servant was prepared before thee.

For thou, my God, didst uncover the ear of thy servant to build for him a house: for this thy servant found to pray before thee.

And now thou wert pleased to bless the house of thy servant, to be forever before thee: for thou didst bless, and blessing forever.

And he will strike Moab; and Moab will be servants to David, lifting up a gift

And David will strike Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, in his going to set up his hand upon the river Phrath.

And Aram of Darmesek will come to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David will strike in Aram twenty and two thousand men.

And David will set up in Aram of Darmesek; and Aram will be servants to David, lifting up a gift And Jehovah will save for David in all which he went

And David will take the shields of gold that were upon the servants of Hadarezer, and he will bring them to Jerusalem.

And Tou, king of Hamath, will hear that David struck all the power of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

And he will send Hadoram his son to king David to ask to him for peace and to bless him because he fought against Hadarezer, and he will strike him; (for Hadarezer was a man of war with Tou;) and all vessels of gold and silver and brass.

Also them king David consecrated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold which he lifted up from all the nations from Edom, from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the rovers, and from A malek.

And be will set up garrisons in Edom; and all Edom will be servants to David. And Jehovah will save David in all which he went

And David will reign over all Israel, and he will be doing judgment and justice to all his people.

And Joab son of Zeruiah over the army; and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud, bringing to remembrance.

And it will be after this, Nahash king of the sons of Ammon will die, and his son will reign in his stead.

And David will say, I will do mercy with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did mercy with me. And David will send messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants will come to the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

And the chiefs of the sons of Ammon will say to Hanun, Is David honoring thy father in thine eyes, that he sent comforters to thee? is it not in order to search out, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land, came his servants to thee?

And Hanun will take David's servants and shave them, and cut off their garments in the half, even to the step, and he will send them away.

And they will go and announce to David concerning the men; and he will send to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king will say, Sit in Jericho till your beard shall spring up, and turn ye back.

And the sons of Ammon will see that they were loathsome with David, and Hanun will send, and the sons of Ammon, a thousand talents of silver to hire to them from Aram of the rivers and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen.

And they will hire to them two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they will come and encamp before Medeba. And the sons of Ammon were gathered together from their cities, and they will come to the battle.

And Joab will see that the face of the battle Was against him, before and behind; and he will choose from all the young men in Israel, and he will set in array to meet Aram.

And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he will set in array to meet the sons of Ammon.

And he will say, If Aram shall be strong above me, and thou wert to me for salvation: and if the sons of Ammon shall be strong above thee, and I saved thee.

Be strong, and we will strengthen ourselves for our people and for the cities of our God: and Jehovah will do the good in his eyes.

And Joab will draw near, and the people which are with him, before Aram to battle; and they will flee from before him.

And the sons of Ammon saw that Aram fled, and they will flee also themselves from the face of Abishai his brother, and they will come into the city. And Joab will come to Jerusalem.

And it will be announced to David; and he will gather together all Israel, and he will pass over Jordan and come against them, and he will set in array against them. And David will set the battle in array to meet Aram, and they will wage war with him.

And he brought out the people that were in it, and he will contend with the saw and with threshing-sledges of iron, and with saws. And David will do thus to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David will turn back and all the people, to Jerusalem.

And there will be yet war in Gath; and there will be a man of measure, and his fingers six and six, twenty and four: and he also was born to Rapha.

These were born to Rapha in Gath; and they will fall by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

And an adversary will stand up against Israel, and he will stimulate David to number Israel

And David will say to Joab and to the chiefs of the people, Go number Israel from the well of the oath even to judgment, and bring to me and I shall know their number.

And Joab will say, Jehovah will add to his people as they are, a hundred times: are they not, my lord the king, all of them for servants to my lord? for what will my lord seek this? wherefore will he be for trespass to Israel?

And the word of the king was strong upon Joab. And Joab will go forth, and he will go about in all Israel, and he will come to Jerusalem.

And Joab will give the number of reviewing the people to David. And all Israel will be a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men drawing sword: and Judah four hundred and seventy thousand men drawing sword.

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 Jehovah will speak to Gad the seer of David, saying,

Go and speak to David, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Three, I stretch forth upon thee; choose to thee one from these and I will do to thee.

And Gad will come to David and say to him, Thus said Jehovah, Take to thee,

If three years of famine, and if three months of being destroyed from before thine adversaries, and the sword of thine enemies to overtake; and if three days the sword of Jehovah, and the word in the land, and the messenger of Jehovah destroying in all the bound of Israel. And now see what word I shall turn back to him sending me.
