Albanian Bible
12 Këta janë njerëzit që erdhën te Davidi në Tsiklag, kur ai qendronte larg pranisë së Saulit, birit të Kishit; ata ishin një pjesë e trimave që e ndihmuan në luftë;
2 ishin të armatosur me harqe dhe mund të përdornin si dorën e djathtë ashtu edhe atë të majtë për të hedhur gurë dhe për të gjuajtur shigjeta me hark; i përkisnin fisit të Beniaminit, vëllezër të Saulit.
3 I pari i tyre ishte Ahiezeri, pastaj Joasi, bij të Shemaahut, nga Giberahu; Jezieli dhe Peleti, bij të Azmavethit; Berakahu dhe Jehu nga Anathothi;
4 Ishmajahu nga Gabaoni, trim midis të tridhjetëve dhe i pari i tyre; Jeremia, Jahazieli, Johanani, Jozabadi nga Gedera
5 Eluzai, Jerimothi, Bealiahu, Shemariahu, Shefatiahu nga Harufi;
6 Elkanahu, Jishshiahu, Azareli, Joezeri dhe Jashobeami, Koraiti;
7 Joelahu dhe Zebadiahu, bij të Jerohamit nga Gedori.
8 Ndër Gaditët disa njerëz vendosën të bashkohen me Davidin në kalanë e shkretëtirës; ishin njerëz të fortë dhe trima, të stërvitur për luftë, të shkathët në përdorimin e mburojës dhe të shtizës; fytyrat e tyre ishin si fytyrat e luanëve dhe në malet ishin të shpejtë si gazelat.
9 Ezeri ishte i pari i tyre, Obadiahu vinte i dyti dhe Eliabi i treti,
10 Mishmanahu i katërti, Jeremia i pesti
11 Atai i gjashti, Elieli i shtati,
12 Johanani i teti, Elzabadi i nënti,
13 Jeremia i dhjeti, Makbanai i njëmbëdhjeti.
14 Këta Gaditë ishin komandantë të ushtrisë; më i vogli komandonte njëqind ushtarë, më i madhi një mijë.
15 Këta janë ata që kaluan Jordanin në muajin e parë kur ky lumë kishte dalë nga shtrati i tij, dhe i bënë të ikin me vrap tërë banorët e luginave, në lindje dhe në perëndim.
16 Edhe disa nga bijtë e Beniaminit e të Judës shkuan te Davidi në kala.
17 Davidi u doli përpara dhe, duke marrë fjalën, tha: "Në rast se keni ardhur tek unë me qëllime paqësore për të më ndihmuar, jam gati të bashkohem me juve, por në se keni ardhur për të më tradhëtuar dhe për të më dorëzuar në duart e kundërshtarëve të mi, megjithëse unë nuk kam përdorur fare dhunën, Perëndia i etërve tanë le të shohë dhe le të dënojë".
18 Atëherë Fryma e përshkoi Amasain, të parin e të tridhjetëve, që thirri: Ne jemi me ty, David; jemi me ty, o biri i Isait! Paqe, paqe ty dhe paqee atij që të ndihmon, sepse Perëndia yt të ndihmon". Atëherë Davidi i priti dhe i bëri komandantë të trupave.
19 Edhe nga Manasi disa kaluan me Davidin, kur ky vajti me Filistejtë për të luftuar kundër Saulit; por këta nuk i dhanë asnjë ndihmë Filistejve, sepse princat e Filistejve, mbasi u konsultuan, e kthyen prapa Davidin, duke thënë: "Ai ka për të kaluar me zotërinë e tij Saul duke vënë në rrezik kokat tona".
20 Ndërsa shkonte në Tsiklag, ata të Manasit që kaluan me të ishin Adnahu, Jozbadi, Jediaeli, Mikaeli, Jozabadi, Elihu, Tsillethai, komandantë të mijësheve që i përkisnin Manasit.
21 Këta e ndihmuan Davidin kundër bandave të plaçkitësve, sepse ishin të gjithë njerëz të fortë dhe trima dhe u bënë komandantë në ushtri.
22 Në atë kohë, në të vërtetë, çdo ditë disa vinin te Davidi për ta ndihmuar deri sa formoi një ushtri të madhe si ushtria e Perëndisë.
23 Ky është numri i krerëve të armatosur për luftë, që shkuan te Davidi në Hebron për t’i kaluar atij mbretërinë e Saulit, sipas fjalës së Zotit.
24 Bijtë e Judës, që mbanin mburoja dhe shtiza ishin gjashtë mijë e tetëqind veta, të armatosur për luftë.
25 Nga bijtë e Simeonit, njerëz të fortë dhe trima në luftë, ishin shtatë mijë e njëqind veta.
26 Nga bijtë e Levit, katër mijë e gjashtëqind veta;
27 përveç Jehojadit, princit të familjes së Aaronit, që kishte tre mijë e shtatëqind veta,
28 dhe Tsadoku, një i ri i fortë dhe trim, me njëzet e dy krerë të shtëpisë së tij atërore.
29 Nga bijtë e Beniaminit, vëllezër të Saulit, tre mijë (sepse pjesa më e madhe e tyre i kishte qëndruar besnike deri atëherë shtëpisë së Saulit).
30 Nga bijtë e Efraimit, njëzet mijë e tetëqind veta, njerëz të fortë dhe trima, njerëz të famshëm, sipas shtëpive të tyre atërore.
31 Nga gjysma e fisit të Manasit, tetëmbëdhjetë mijë veta, që u zgjodhën individualisht për të vajtur dhe për ta shpallur mbret Davidin.
32 Nga bijtë e Isakarit, që i kuptonin kohrat dhe dinin kështu çfarë duhet të bënte Izraeli: dyqind krerë dhe tërë vëllezërit e tyre në urdhrat e tyre.
33 Nga Zabuloni, pesëdhjetë mijë, që shkonin të luftonin, të shkathët për tu vendosur në rend beteje me të gjitha armët e luftës dhe të zotë të mbanin pozicionin e tyre me zemër të vendosur.
34 Nga Neftali, një mijë krerë dhe me ta tridhjetë e shtatë mijë njerëz me mburoja dhe shtiza.
35 Nga Danitët, të shkathët për t’u radhitur në rend beteje, njëzet e tetë mijë e gjashtëqind veta.
36 Nga Asheri, dyzet mijë, që shkonin të luftonin dhe që ishin të shkathët për t’u vendosur në rend beteje.
37 Nga ana tjetër e Jordanit, nga Rubenitët, nga Gaditët dhe nga gjysma e fisit të Manasit, njëqind e njëzet mijë veta, të pajisur me të gjitha armët për të luftuar.
38 Tërë këta luftëtarë, të zotë të mbanin pozicionin e tyre me zemër të vendosur, erdhën në Hebron për ta shpallur Davidin mbret mbi tërë Izraelin; edhe pjesa tjetër e Izraelit ishte në një mëndje për ta bërë mbret Davidin.
39 Ata qëndruan atje tri ditë me Davidin, duke ngrënë dhe duke pirë, sepse vëllezërit e tyre kishin siguruar ushqim për ta.
40 Edhe nga ata që banonin afër tyre, madje edhe nga Isakari, nga Zabuloni dhe nga Neftali sillnin ushqime me gomarë, me deve, me mushka dhe me qe, furnizime të mëdha: miell, bukëfiqe dhe rrush të thatë, verë, vaj, lopë dhe dele me bollëk; sepse Izraeli ishte shend e verë.
13 Davidi u këshillua me komandantët e mijëshëve e dhe të qindëshëve dhe me të gjithë princat.
2 Pastaj Davidi i tha tërë asamblesë së Izraelit: "Në qoftë se kjo ju duket e mirë dhe në se na vjen nga Zoti, Perëndia ynë, t’u çojmë fjalë vëllezërve tanë që kanë mbetur në të gjitha krahinat e Izraelit, dhe me ta edhe priftërinjve dhe Levitëve në qytetet e tyre dhe tokat për kullotë të mblidhen pranë nesh,
3 dhe ta sjellim përsëri arkën e Perëndisë tonë te ne, sepse nuk e kemi kërkuar në kohën e Saulit".
4 Tërë asambleja pranoi të vepronte kështu, sepse kjo gjë dukej e drejtë në sytë e tërë popullit.
5 Atëherë mblodhi tërë Izraelin nga Shihori i Egjiptit, deri në hyrje të Hamathit, për ta sjellë përsëri arkën e Perëndisë nga Kiriath-Jearimi.
6 Pastaj Davidi me tërë Izraelin u nis në drejtim të Baalahut, domethënë në drejtim të Kirjath-Jearimit që ishte pronë e Judës, për të mbartur që andej arkën e Perëndisë, të Zotit, që rri mbi kerubinët, ku përmëndet emri i tij.
7 Nga shtëpia e Abinadabit e transportuan arkën e Perëndisë mbi një qerre të re. Uza dhe Ahio e ngisnin qerren.
8 Davidi dhe tërë Izraeli e kremtonin këtë ngjarje përpara Perëndisë me tërë forcat e tyre, me këngë dhe qeste, me harpe, dajre, cembale dhe bori.
9 Kur arritën në lëmin e Kidonit, Uza shtriu dorën për të mbajtur arkën, sepse qetë ishin penguar.
10 Atëherë zemërimi i Zotit shpërtheu kundër Uzës dhe e goditi, sepse kishte shtrirë dorën e tij mbi arkë; ai vdiq atje përpara Perëndisë.
11 Davidi u hidhërua shumë sepse Zoti kishte hapur një të çarë në popull duke goditur Uzën. Prandaj ky vend quhet edhe sot e Çara e Uzës.
12 Atë ditë Davidi pati frikë nga Perëndia dhe tha: "Si mund ta transportoj arkën e Perëndisë në shtëpinë time?".
13 Kështu Davidi nuk deshi ta kishte arkën pranë vetes në qytetin e Davidit, por e kaloi në shtëpinë e Obed-Edomit nga Gathi.
14 Arka e Perëndisë mbeti tre muaj pranë familjes së Obed-Edomit në shtëpinë e saj; dhe Zoti bekoi shtëpinë e Obed-Edomit dhe gjithshka që ishte pronë e tij.
14 Hirami, mbret i Tiros, i dërgoi Davidit lajmëtarë, dru kedri, muratorë, dhe marangozë për t’i ndërtuar një shtëpi.
2 Atëherë Davidi e pranoi që Zoti e kishte vendosur mbret të Izraelit, sepse mbretëria e tij qe lavdëruar shumë për shkak të popullit të tij, Izraelit.
3 Davidi u martua me gra të tjera në Jeruzalem dhe i lindën djem e vajza.
4 Këto janë emrat e bijve që i lindën në Jeruzalem: Shamua, Shohabi, Salomoni,
5 Ibhari, Elishua, Elpeleti,
6 Nagahu, Nefegu, Jafia,
7 Elishama, Beelida dhe Elifeleti.
8 Kur Filistejtë mësuan që Davidi ishte vajosur mbret i tërë Izraelit, dolën të gjithë në kërkim të Davidit. Sa e mësoi këtë, Davidi u doli përballë.
9 Filistejtë arritën dhe u përhapën në luginën e Refaimit.
10 Atëherë Davidi u këshillua me Perëndinë, duke thënë: A duhet të dal kundër Filistejve? A do të m’i japësh në duart e mia?". Zoti u përgjigj: Dil dhe unë do t’i jap në duart e tuaa".
11 Ata dolën në Baal-Peratsim, ku Davidi i mundi dhe tha: "Perëndia ka hapur me duart e mia një kalim midis armiqve të mi, si një kalim i hapur nga ujërat". Prandaj i vunë këtij vendi emrin e Baal-Peratsimit.
12 Filistejtë braktisën aty perënditë e tyre dhe Davidi urdhëroi që të digjeshin në zjarr.
13 Më vonë Filistejtë filluan të shpërndahen nëpër luginë.
14 Davidi u këshillua përsëri me Perëndinë, dhe Perëndia i tha: "Mos u dil prapa, por merru krahët dhe sulu mbi ta përballë ballsameve.
15 Kur të dëgjosh një zhurmë hapash në majat e ballsameve, hidhu menjëherë në sulm, sepse Perëndia do të të dalë përpara për të mundur ushtrinë e Filistejve".
16 Davidi bëri ashtu siç e kishte urdhëruar Perëndia, dhe ata mundën ushtrinë e Filistejve nga Gabaoni deri në Gezer.
17 Kështu fama e Davidit u përhap në të gjitha vendet, dhe Zoti solli tmerrin e tij mbi të gjitha kombet.

Warriors Join David
12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag,(A) while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; 2 they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed;(B) they were relatives of Saul(C) from the tribe of Benjamin):
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, 4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,[a](D) 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.(E)
8 Some Gadites(F) defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions,(G) and they were as swift as gazelles(H) in the mountains.
9 Ezer was the chief,
Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.
14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred,(I) and the greatest for a thousand.(J) 15 It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks,(K) and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Other Benjamites(L) and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.”
18 Then the Spirit(M) came on Amasai,(N) chief of the Thirty, and he said:
“We are yours, David!
We are with you, son of Jesse!
Success,(O) success to you,
and success to those who help you,
for your God will help you.”
So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.
19 Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”)(P) 20 When David went to Ziklag,(Q) these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. 22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.[b]
Others Join David at Hebron
23 These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron(R) to turn(S) Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:(T)
24 from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;
25 from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;
26 from Levi—4,600, 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok,(U) a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;
29 from Benjamin,(V) Saul’s tribe—3,000, most(W) of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then;
30 from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;
31 from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;
32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do(X)—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;
34 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;
35 from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;
36 from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;
37 and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.
38 All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel.(Y) All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. 39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking,(Z) for their families had supplied provisions for them. 40 Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies(AA) of flour, fig cakes, raisin(AB) cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy(AC) in Israel.
Bringing Back the Ark(AD)
13 David conferred with each of his officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. 2 He then said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our people throughout the territories of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their towns and pasturelands, to come and join us. 3 Let us bring the ark of our God back to us,(AE) for we did not inquire(AF) of[c] it[d] during the reign of Saul.” 4 The whole assembly agreed to do this, because it seemed right to all the people.
5 So David assembled all Israel,(AG) from the Shihor River(AH) in Egypt to Lebo Hamath,(AI) to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.(AJ) 6 David and all Israel went to Baalah(AK) of Judah (Kiriath Jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, who is enthroned between the cherubim(AL)—the ark that is called by the Name.
7 They moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s(AM) house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it. 8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.(AN)
9 When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. 10 The Lord’s anger(AO) burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down(AP) because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.
11 Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.[e](AQ)
12 David was afraid of God that day and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?” 13 He did not take the ark to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom(AR) the Gittite. 14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house for three months, and the Lord blessed his household(AS) and everything he had.
David’s House and Family(AT)
14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs,(AU) stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace for him. 2 And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted(AV) for the sake of his people Israel.
3 In Jerusalem David took more wives and became the father of more sons(AW) and daughters. 4 These are the names of the children born to him there:(AX) Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, 6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, 7 Elishama, Beeliada[f] and Eliphelet.
David Defeats the Philistines(AY)
8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel,(AZ) they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley(BA) of Rephaim; 10 so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”
The Lord answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”
11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim,(BB) and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.[g] 12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn(BC) them in the fire.(BD)
13 Once more the Philistines raided the valley;(BE) 14 so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon(BF) to Gezer.(BG)
17 So David’s fame(BH) spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear(BI) him.

1 Chronicles 12-14
King James Version
12 Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite.
4 And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,
5 Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite,
6 Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korhites,
7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.
20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.
22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord.
24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.
26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.
27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three thousand and seven hundred;
28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty and two captains.
29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul.
30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.
31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.
35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.
36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.
37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.
38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
13 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
11 And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
2 And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
