And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria hath settled down upon Ephraim. Then shook his heart, and the heart of his people, as the trees of a forest shake before a wind.

Then said he - Hear, I pray you, O house of David! Is it, too little, for you to weary men, that ye must weary even my God?

Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end - Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, - From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!

So shall be established, in lovingkindness, a throne, And one shall sit thereon, in truth, in the home of David, - Judging - and seeking justice and speeding righteousness.

And the breaches in the city of David, ye beheld for they were many, - So ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool;

And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, - And he shall open and none shall shut, And shut and none shall open;

Alas for Ariel, Ariel, The city against which, David encamped, - Add ye a year to a year. Let the festivals, come round;

Thus will I throw a covering over this city to save it, - For mine own sake, And for the sake of David my servant.

Go, and say unto Hezekiah - Thus, saith Yahweh, the God of David thy father: I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, - Behold me! about to add unto thy days, fifteen years;

Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hearken, That your soul, may live, - That I may solemnise for you a covenant age-abiding, The Lovingkindness to David, well-assured.

Then shalt thou say unto them - Thus, saith Yahweh - Behold me! filling all the inhabitants of this land Even the kings that are sitting for David upon his throne and the priests and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem - with drunkenness;

Then shall enter in through the gates of this city, Kings and princes Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in chariots and on horses They, and their princes, The men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city shall remain unto times age-abiding.

O house of David! Thus, saith Yahweh, Administer justice betimes, And deliver the robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, - Lest mine indignation come forth like fire And burn and there be none to quench it, Because of the wickedness of your doings:

and say - Hear thou the word of Yahweh O king of Judah who sittest upon the throne of David, - thou, and thy servants and thy people who enter in at these gates,

For if ye, indeed do, this thing, then shall there enter into the gates of this house - kings, sitting for David upon his throne riding in chariots and on horses, he and his servants, and his people.

Thus, saith Yahweh, - Register ye this man, childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days, - For there shall prosper of his seed No man sitting upon the throne of David, Or ruling any more over Judah.

Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will raise up to David A righteous Bud, And he shall reign as king, and prosper, And shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

For, thus, saith Yahweh Against the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and Against all the people who are remaining in this city, - your brethren who have not gone forth with you into captivity:

But they shall serve Yahweh their God, - and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

In those days and at that time, will I cause to bud unto David A Bud of righteousness, - And he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land:

For, Thus, saith Yahweh, - There shall not be wanting to David - A man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

My covenant also, may be broken With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne, - And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants:

As, the host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon me.

The seed of Jacob also and of David my servant, might I east off so as not to take of his seed as rulers unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, - For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon them.

Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, - He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, - And, his dead body, shall be cast out - to the heat by day, and to the frost by night;

And I will raise up over them one shepherd And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, - Hell will tend them, And libel will become to them a shepherd;

And, I, Yahweh will become to them a God. My servant David being a prince in their midst; - I, Yahweh, have spoken;

And my servant David shall be king over them, And one shepherd, shall they all have, And in my regulations, shall they walk, And my statutes, shall they observe and do them.

And they shall dwell upon the land. which I gave to my servant- to Jacob, Wherein your fathers dwelt, - Yea they shall dwell thereupon. They, and their children and their children's children Unto times age-abiding, And David my servant shall be prince unto them Unto times age-abiding.

Afterwards, shall the sons of Israel return, and seek Yahweh their God, and David their king, - and shall turn with throbbing hearts unto Yahweh and unto his goodness, in the afterpart of the days.

Who are bawling at the bidding of the harp, - like David, have they invented for themselves instruments of song:

In that day, will I raise up the pavilion of David, that is lying prostrate, - and wall up the breaches of them, and, his ruins, will I raise up, and will build it, as in the days of age-past times:

But Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, - lest the honour of the house of David, and the honour of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, should be magnified over Judah.

In that day, will Yahweh, throw a covering, around the inhabitant of Jerusalem, so shall the tottering among them, in that day, become like David, - and the house of David - like God, like the messenger of Yahweh, before them.

But I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the spirit of favour, and of supplications, and they will look unto me, whom they have pierced, - and will wail over him, as one waileth over an only son, and will make bitter outcry over him, as one maketh bitter outcry over a firstborn.

So shall the land, wail, family by family, apart, - the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart, the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

In that day, there shall be an opened fountain, for the house of David, and for the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, - for sin and for uncleanness.

The Lineage Roll of Jesus Christ, - Son of David, Son of Abraham.

And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;

So then, all the generations from Abraham unto David, are, fourteen, generations, and, from David unto the removal to Babylon, fourteen, generations; and, from the removal to Babylon unto the Christ, fourteen, generations.

But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, - Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of the , Holy, Spirit.

And, as Jesus, was passing aside from thence, there followed him, two blind men, crying aloud and saying, - Have mercy on us, O Son of David!

And he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how

And all the multitudes were beside themselves, and were saying, Can, this one, be, the Son of David?

And lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized.

and lo! two blind men, sitting beside the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried aloud saying - Lord! have mercy on us! Son of David!

But the multitude rebuked them, that they might hold their peace. But, they, the more, cried aloud, saying - Lord, have mercy on us! Son of David!

and the multitudes, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, saying - Hosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.

But the Chief-priests and the Scribes, seeing, the marvels that he wrought, and the boys who were crying aloud in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! were greatly displeased;

How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him - David's.

He saith unto them - How then doth, David, in spirit, call him, Lord, saying -

If then, David, calleth him, Lord, How, is he, his son?

And he saith unto them - Have ye never read what David did, when he had need and hungered, - he, and they who were with him:

And, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying - O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me.

And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

Blessed, is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!

And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple - How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David?

David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, - The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet.

David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own soul? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly.

unto a virgin, betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and, the name of the virgin, was, Mary;

the same, shall be great, and, Son of the Most High, shall be called, and the Lord God, will give unto him, the throne of David his father, -

And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of a city Nazareth, into Judaea, into the city of David which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and family of David:

That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, - Who is Christ the Lord - in the city of David!

of Melea, of Menna, of Mattatha, - of Natham, of David:

And, making answer unto them, Jesus said - Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they who were with him -

And he cried aloud, saying - Jesus, son of David! have mercy upon me!

And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out - O Son of David! have mercy upon me!

And he said unto them - How say they, that, the Christ, is, David's Son?

For, David himself, saith, in the book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?

Hath not the Scripture said: Of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, cometh the Christ?

Brethren! It was needful for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spake beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, - who became guide unto them who apprehended Jesus;

For, David, saith concerning him - I foresaw the Lord before me continually, because he is, on my right hand, that I may not be shaken;

Brethren! it is, allowable, to say with freedom of speech unto you, concerning the patriarch David, - that he both died and was buried, and, his tomb, is among us until this day.

For, David, hath not ascended into the heavens; but he saith, himself, - Said the Lord unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

Who, by our father, through means of the Holy Spirit, even by the mouth of David thy servant, said - Unto what end did nations rage, and, peoples, busy themselves with empty things?

Which our fathers succeeding to, also brought in, with Joshua, when taking possession of the nations, which God put out from before our fathers until the days of David;

And, setting him aside, raised up, David, unto them for king, - of whom he also said, bearing witness - I have found David, the son of Jesse, - a manaccording to my heart, who will do all my will.

And, in that he raised him from among the dead, no more destined to return unto corruption, on this wise hath he spoken - I will give unto you the faithful lovingkindnesses of David.

For, David, indeed, unto his own generation having done service, by the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was added unto fathers, and saw corruption;

After these things, will I return, and will rebuild the tent of David that hath fallen, and, the ruins thereof, will I rebuild, and will set it up again:

Concerning his Son, - who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,

Just as David also affirmeth the happiness of the man unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works: -

And, David, saith - Let their table be turned into a snare, and into gin, and into a trap, and into a recompense unto them,

Keep in mind Jesus Christ - raised from among the dead, of the seed of David, - according to my joyful message:

Again, he marketh out a certain day, To-day, in David, saying - after so long a time as this, - according as it hath been said before: - To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts.

And what more can I say? For, time, will fail me while I go on telling - concerning Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets, -

And, unto the messenger of the assembly, in Philadelphia, write: - These things, saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no one shall shut, and shutteth and no one openeth:

And, one of the elders, saith unto me - Do not weep! Lo! the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome, to open the scroll and the seven seals thereof.

I, Jesus, have sent my messenger, to bear witness unto you of these things, for the assemblies. I, am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and the morning Star.
