26 Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Korahites was Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were Zechariah the eldest, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth and Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 And the sons of Obed-Edom were Shemaiah the eldest, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethanel the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh and Peulthai the eighth. For God had blessed him.
6 And sons were born to Shemaiah, his son, who ruled in the House of their father, for they were men of might.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni and Rephael and Obed, Elzabad and his brethren (strong men), also Elihu and Semachiah.
8 All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom, they and their sons and their brethren, sixty-two of Obed-Edom, who were mighty and strong to serve.
9 And of Meshelemiah were eighteen sons and brethren, mighty men.
10 And of Hosah, of the sons of Merari, the sons were Shimri the chief, (though he was not the eldest, his father still made him the chief) and
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third and Zechariah the fourth. All the sons and the brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12 Of these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, of the chief men, having duties alongside their brethren, to serve in the House of the LORD.
13 And they cast lots, both small and great, for the House of their fathers, for every gate.
14 And the lot on the eastern side fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for Zechariah, his son, a wise counselor. And his lot came out northward.
15 To Obed-Edom fell southward. And to his sons fell the House of Asuppim.
16 To Shuppim and to Hosah fell the western side with the gate of Shallecheth, by the paved street that goes upward, ward facing ward.
17 Eastward were six Levites, Northward were four each day, Southward four each day, and toward Asuppim were two by two.
18 In Parbar, toward the west, were four by the paved street, and two in Parbar.
19 These are the divisions of the gatekeepers of the sons of Korah, and of the sons of Merari.
20 And of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasures of the House of God, and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
21 Of the sons of Laadan were the sons of the Gershonites. Of Laadan were the chief fathers of Laadan: Gershon and Jehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli were Zetham and Joel, his brother, appointed over the treasures of the House of the LORD.
23 Of the Amramites, of the Izharites, of the Hebronites, and of the Uzzielites:
24 Shebuel, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, a ruler over the treasures.
25 And of his brethren (who came from Eliezer) was Rehabiah his son, and Jeshaiah his son, and Joram his son, and Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
26 Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things which David the king and the chief fathers and the captains over thousands and hundreds and the captains of the army had dedicated
27 (they dedicated the plunder from the battles to maintain the House of the LORD)
28 and all that Samuel the Seer had dedicated, and Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah. Whoever had dedicated anything, it was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.
29 Of the Izharites was Chenaniah and his sons, seeing to outside business over Israel, for officers and for judges.
30 Of the Hebronites were Hashabiah and his brethren, men of strength. One thousand seven hundred were officers for Israel beyond Jordan, westward, in all the business of the LORD and for the service of the king.
31 Among the Hebronites was Jerijah the chiefest of the Hebronites by his generations, according to the families. And in the fortieth year of the reign of David they sought them. And men of strength were found among them at Jazer in Gilead.
32 And his brethren, men of strength, two thousand seven hundred chief fathers, whom King David made rulers over the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and for the king’s business.
27 Also the children of Israel, after their number — the chief fathers and captains of thousands and of hundreds and their officers who served the king by diverse courses, who came in and went out, month by month, throughout all the months of the year, in every course — were twenty-four thousand.
2 For the first month, Jashobeam, the son of Zabdiel, was over the first division. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.
3 The chief over all the princes of the armies for the first month was from the sons of Perez.
4 And Dodai, an Ahohite (and his division) was over the division for the second month. And Mikloth was a captain. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.
5 The captain of the third army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the High Priest. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.
6 This Benaiah was mighty among thirty and above the thirty. And Ammizabad, his son, was in his division.
7 The fourth for the fourth month was Asahel, the brother of Joab. And Zebadiah, his son, was after him. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.
8 The fifth for the fifth month was prince Shamhuth the Izrahite. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.

13 The tenth for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.
14 The eleventh for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the sons of Ephraim. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.
15 The twelfth for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel. And twenty-four thousand were in his division.
16 Moreover, the rulers over the tribes of Israel were these: over the Reubenites was Ruler Eliezer, the son of Zichri. Over the Simeonites was Shephatiah, the son of Maachah.
17 Over the Levites was Hashabiah, the son of Kemuel. Over those of Aaron was Zadok.
18 Over Judah was Elihu, of the brethren of David. Over Issachar was Omri, the son of Michael.

20 Over the sons of Ephraim was Hoshea, the son of Azaziah. Over the half tribe of Manasseh was Joel, the son of Pedaiah.
21 Over the other half of Manasseh in Gilead was Iddo, the son of Zechariah. Over Benjamin was Jaasiel, the son of Abner.
22 Over Dan was Azarel, the son of Jeroham. These are the princes of the tribes of Israel.
23 But David did not take the number of them from twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said that He would increase Israel like the stars of the heavens.
24 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, began a census. But he did not finish it, because there came wrath against Israel because of it. Nor was the census put into the Chronicles of King David.
25 And over the king’s treasures was Azmaveth, the son of Adiel. And over the treasures in the fields, in the cities and in the villages and in the towers was Jehonathan, the son of Uzziah.
26 And over the workmen in the field who till the ground was Ezri, the son of Chelub.
27 And, over those who dressed the vines was Shimei the Ramathite. And over the produce of the vines, and over the store of the wine, was Zabdi the Shiphmite.
28 And over the olive trees and mulberry trees that were in the valleys was Baal-Hanan the Gederite. And over the store of the oil was Joash.

33 And Ahithophel was the king’s counselor. And Hushai the Archite was the king’s friend.
34 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah and Abiathar. And Joab was captain of the king’s army.
1 Simon Peter, a servant and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to you who have obtained equal precious faith with us, by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Jesus Christ our Lord.
3 His divine power has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the acknowledging of Him Who has called us to Glory and virtue;
4 by which most great and precious promises are given to us, so that by them you could be partakers of the divine nature (in that you flee the corruption which is in the world through lust).
5 Therefore, give all diligence to this. Moreover, join virtue with your faith; and with virtue, knowledge;
6 and with knowledge, temperance; and with temperance, patience; and with patience, godliness;
7 and with godliness, brotherly kindness; and with brotherly kindness, love.
8 For if these things are among you, and abound, they will cause you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For the one who does not have these things is blind and short-sighted and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brothers, give all the more diligence to making your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you shall never fall.
11 For by this means shall entry into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be abundantly provided to you.
12 Therefore, I will not be negligent to always remind you of these things (though you have knowledge and are established in the present truth).
13 For I think it right (as long as I am in this body) to stir you up by reminding you.
14 I know that the time is at hand that I must lay down this, my body, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me.
15 Therefore, I will always endeavor, so that you also may be reminded of these things after my departing.
16 For we did not follow cunningly-devised fables when we opened to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. But we saw His majesty with our own eyes.
17 For He received honor and glory from God the Father when there came such a voice to Him from that excellent Glory: “This is my beloved Son, in Whom I am well-pleased.”
18 And this voice we heard when it came from Heaven, being with Him on the Holy Mount.
19 We also have the enduring Word of the Prophets—to which you do well to pay attention, as to a light that shines in a dark place—until the Day dawns and the Day Star arise in your hearts.
20 So that you first know this: that no Prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the Prophecy did not come by the will of man. But holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
4 But in the last days it shall happen that the Mountain of the House of the LORD shall be prepared on the top of the mountains. And it shall be exalted above the hills. And people shall flow to it.
2 Yea, many nations shall come and say, “Come and let us go up to the Mountain of the LORD, and to the House of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways. And we will walk in His paths.” For the Law shall go forth from Zion. And the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And He shall judge among many people and rebuke mighty, far away nations. And they shall break their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation. Nor shall they learn to fight anymore.
4 But every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree. And no one shall make them afraid. For the Mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken it.
5 For all people will walk, each in the name of his god. And we will walk in the Name of the LORD our God, forever and ever.
6 “At the same time,” says the LORD, “I will gather she who halts, and I will gather she who is cast out, and she whom I have afflicted.
7 “And I will make her who limps a remnant, and her who was cast far off a mighty nation. And the LORD shall reign over them on Mount Zion, from now until forever.
8 “And you, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter Zion! To you it shall come. The former dominion kingdom shall come to the daughter Jerusalem.”
9 Now, why do you cry out with lamentation? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished? For sorrow has taken you, as a woman in labor.
10 Sorrow and mourn, O daughter Zion, like a woman in labor! For now, you shall go forth from the city and dwell in the field and shall go into Babel. There you shall be delivered. There the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Also now, many nations are gathered against you, saying, “Zion shall be condemned!” and “Our eye shall look upon Zion!”
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD. They do not understand His counsel. For He shall gather them as the sheaves in the barn.
13 “Arise and thresh, O daughter Zion! For I will make your horn iron. And I will make your hooves bronze. And you shall break many people in pieces. And I will consecrate their riches to the LORD, and their substance to the Ruler of the whole world.”
13 There were some present at the same time who told Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answered, and said to them, “Do you suppose that because they have suffered such things, these Galileans were greater sinners than all the other Galileans?
3 “I tell you no. But unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
4 “Or do you think that those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell (and it killed them) were sinners above all men living in Jerusalem?
5 “I tell you no. But unless you repent, you shall all likewise perish.”
6 He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. And he came and sought fruit from it and found none.
7 “Then he said to the dresser of his vineyard, ‘Behold, for three years I have come and sought fruit from this fig tree and found none. Cut it down! Why is it wasting ground?’
8 “And he answered, and said to him, ‘Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 ‘And if it bears fruit, well. If not, then after that cut it down.’”
10 And He taught in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath Day.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And was doubled over and could not straighten up at all.
12 When Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, “Woman, you are free from your disease.”
13 And He laid His hands on her. And immediately she was made straight again. And she glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the Synagogue answered indignantly (because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath) and said to the people, “There are six days in which we ought to work! Therefore, come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day!”
15 Then the Lord answered him, and said, “Hypocrite. Does not each one of you free his ox or his ass from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to the water?
16 “And ought not this daughter of Abraham (whom Satan has bound, lo, eighteen years) be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
17 And when He said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. But all the people rejoiced at all the excellent things that were done by Him.
18 Then He said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? Or, to what shall I compare it?
19 “It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden. And it grew and became a great tree. And the birds of the heaven made nests in its branches.”
20 And again He said, “To what shall I liken the Kingdom of God?
21 “It is like leaven. Which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour, till it all was leavened.”
22 And He went through all cities and towns, teaching and journeying towards Jerusalem.
23 Then someone said to Him, “Lord, are there few who shall be saved?” And He said to them,
24 “Strive to enter in at the narrow gate. For many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able.
25 “When the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door; and you began to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us’, and he shall answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26 “Then you shall begin to say, ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.’
27 “But he shall say, ‘I tell you. I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’
28 “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God; and yourselves thrust out at the doors.
29 “Then many shall come from the east and from the west and from the north and from the south and shall sit at table in the Kingdom of God.
30 “And behold, there are last who shall be first. And there are first who shall be last.”
31 The same day, some Pharisees came and said to Him, “Depart and go from here! For Herod wants to kill you!”
32 Then He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and will keep healing today and tomorrow. And the third day I shall complete it.’
33 “Nevertheless, I must walk today and tomorrow and the day after. For it cannot be that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the Prophets and stones those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as the hen gathers her brood under her wings. And you would not.
35 “Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And truly I tell you, you shall not see Me until the time comes that you shall say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.’”
