26 ¶ Concerning the divisions of the porters, of the Korhites: Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2 The sons of Meshelemiah: Zechariah, the firstborn, Jediael, the second, Zebadiah, the third, Jathniel, the fourth,
3 Elam, the fifth, Jehohanan, the sixth, Elioenai, the seventh.
4 The sons of Obededom: Shemaiah, the firstborn, Jehozabad, the second, Joah, the third, and Sacar, the fourth, Nethaneel, the fifth,
5 Ammiel, the sixth, Issachar, the seventh, Peulthai, the eighth; for God had blessed him.
6 Also unto Shemaiah, his son, were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their fathers, for they were mighty men of valour.
7 The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed, Elzabad, and their brethren, strong men; likewise, Elihu and Semachiah.
8 All these of the sons of Obededom; they and their sons and their brethren, valiant men strong for the ministry, were sixty-two, of Obededom.
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, valiant men, eighteen.
10 Of Hosah, of the sons of Merari: Simri, the chief, (for though he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief)
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah, the third, Zechariah, the fourth; all the sons and brethren of Hosah were thirteen.
12 Among these were the divisions of the porters, even among the chief men, having wards one against another two by two, to minister in the house of the LORD.
13 And they cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to the houses of their fathers, for each gate.
14 And the lot of the east fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah, his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out for the north.
15 To Obededom towards the Negev; and to his sons the house of consultation.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah to the west, with the gate Shallecheth, by the causeway of the going up, ward against ward.
17 To the east six Levites, to the north four by day, to the Negev four by day, and toward the house of the consultation two by two.
18 At the chamber of the vessels to the west, four in the way and two in the chamber.
19 These are the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore and among 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 holy things.
21 As concerning the sons of Laadan; the sons of Gershon: of Laadan; chief fathers of Laadan were Gershon and Jehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and Joel, his brother, who were over the treasures of the house of the LORD.
23 Of the Amramites, and the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites,
24 Shebuel, the son of Gershon, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.
25 And his brother Eliezer, Rehabiah, his son, Jeshaiah, his son, Joram, his son, Zichri, his son, and Shelomith, his son.
26 This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the holy things, which David, the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the princes of the host had dedicated.
27 That which out of the spoils won in battles they had dedicated to maintain the house of the LORD.
28 Likewise, all that Samuel, the seer, and Saul, the son of Kish, and Abner, the son of Ner, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and all that anyone had dedicated; it was under the hand of Shelomith and of his brethren.
29 ¶ Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons were governors and judges over Israel.
30 Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand seven hundred, presided over Israel on the other side of the Jordan westward in all the work of the LORD and in the service of the king.
31 Of the Hebronites was Jerijah, the chief among the Hebronites, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Jazer of Gilead.
32 And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand seven hundred chief fathers, whom King David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and affairs of the king.
27 ¶ Now the sons of Israel after their number, who were chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, who came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, each course was of twenty-four thousand.
2 Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam, the son of Zabdiel, and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
3 Of the sons of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.
4 And over the course of the second month was Dodai, an Ahohite, and in his course was prince Mikloth; in his course likewise were twenty-four thousand.
5 The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
6 This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty; and in his course was Ammizabad, his son.
7 The fourth for the fourth month was Asahel, the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
8 The fifth for the fifth month was prince Shamhuth, the Izrahite; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
9 The sixth for the sixth month was Ira, the son of Ikkesh of Tekoah; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
10 The seventh for the seventh month was Helez, the Pelonite, of the sons of Ephraim; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
11 The eighth for the eighth month was Sibbecai, the Hushathite, of Zarhi; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
12 The ninth for the ninth month was Abiezer, the Anetothite, of the Benjamites; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
13 The tenth for the tenth month was Maharai, the Netophathite of Zarhi; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
14 The eleventh for the eleventh month was Benaiah, the Pirathonite, of the sons of Ephraim; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
15 The twelfth for the twelfth month was Heldai, the Netophathite of Othniel; and in his course were twenty-four thousand.
16 ¶ Presiding, likewise, over the tribes of Israel: over the Reubenites was prince Eliezer, the son of Zichri; over the Simeonites, Shephatiah, the son of Maachah.
17 Over the Levites, Hashabiah, the son of Kemuel. Over the Aaronites, Zadok.
18 Over Judah, Elihu, one of the brethren of David. Over those of Issachar, Omri, the son of Michael.
19 Over those of Zebulun, Ishmaiah, the son of Obadiah. Over those of Naphtali, Jerimoth, the son of Azriel.
20 Over the sons of Ephraim, Hosea, the son of Azaziah. Over the half tribe of Manasseh, Joel, the son of Pedaiah.
21 Over the other half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo, the son of Zechariah. Over those of Benjamin, Jaasiel, the son of Abner.
22 And over Dan, Azareel, the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of Israel.
23 But David did not number those twenty years old and under because the LORD had said he would multiply Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
24 Joab, the son of Zeruiah, had begun to number, but he did not finish; and because of this, wrath fell upon Israel; and thus the number was not put in the account of the chronicles of King David.
25 And Azmaveth, the son of Adiel, had charge of the king’s treasures and of the treasures of the fields, of the cities, and of the villages, and of the castles, was Jehonathan, the son of Uzziah;
26 and over those that did the work of the tillage of the ground in the fields was Ezri the son of Chelub;
27 and over the vineyards was Shimei, the Ramathite; over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi, the Shiphmite;
28 and over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan, the Gederite; and over the cellars of oil, Joash;
29 and over the cows that fed in Sharon was Shitrai, the Sharonite; and over the cows that were in the valleys was Shaphat, the son of Adlai;
30 over the camels, Obil, the Ishmaelite; and over the asses, Jehdeiah, the Meronothite;
31 and over the sheep was Jaziz, the Hagerite. All these were the princes of the substance which was King David’s.
32 And Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni had charge of the king’s sons.
33 Ahithophel was the king’s counsellor; and Hushai, the Archite, was the king’s companion.
34 And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. And Joab was the general of the king’s army.
1 ¶ Simon Peter, slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those that have obtained like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in the knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus,
3 as all things that pertain to life and to godliness are given us of his divine power, through the knowledge of him that has called us by his glory and virtue,
4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these ye might be made participants of the divine nature, having fled the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 ¶ Ye also, giving all diligence to the same, show forth virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;
6 and in knowledge, temperance; and in temperance, patience; and in patience, fear of God;
7 and in fear of God, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, charity.
8 For if these things are in you and abound, they shall not let you be idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacks these things is blind and walks feeling the way with his hand, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, give all the more diligence to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, ye shall never fall.
11 Because in this manner the entrance shall be abundantly administered unto you in the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12 ¶ For this reason, I will not leave off reminding you always of these things, although ye know them and are established in the present truth.
13 Because I have the right (as long as I am in this tabernacle) to stir you up by reminding you,
14 knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has declared unto me.
15 I will also make sure with diligence that after my decease ye might remember these things.
16 ¶ For we have not made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, following cunningly devised fables, but as eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven, when we were together with him in the holy mount.
19 ¶ We have also the most sure word of the prophets, unto which ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts,
20 understanding this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy did not come in times past by the will of man, but the holy men of God spoke being inspired by the Holy Spirit.
4 ¶ But it shall come to pass in the last of the times that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the top of the mountains and higher than all the hills, and peoples shall flow unto it.
2 And many Gentiles 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 of 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 peoples and correct strong nations even afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they train for war any more.
4 But each one shall sit under their vine and under their fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of the hosts has spoken it.
5 Even if all the peoples should walk each one in the name of their gods; with all this we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and eternally.
6 In that day, saith the LORD, I will assemble her that is lame, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted,
7 and I will make her that is lame to be heirs, and her that was cast off a strong nation, and the LORD shall reign over them in the mount of Zion from now, and for evermore.
8 ¶ And thou, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion shall come unto thee; and the dominion shall come first, the kingdom, to the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now thou shalt go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
11 But now many nations are gathered against thee that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eyes see our desire carried out upon Zion.
12 But they did not know the thoughts of the LORD, neither did they understand his counsel by which he gathered them as sheaves onto the threshing floor.
13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs bronze; and thou shalt break in pieces many peoples; and thou shalt consecrate their spoil unto the LORD and their riches unto the Lord of the whole earth.
13 ¶ There were present at the same time some that told him of the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with his sacrifices.
2 And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Think ye that these Galilaeans suffered such things because they were greater sinners than all the other Galilaeans?
3 I tell you, No; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them, think ye that they were greater debtors than all the other men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, No; but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 ¶ And He spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit upon it and found none.
7 Then he said unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none; cut it down; why does it cumber the ground?
8 And he, answering, said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also until I shall dig about it and dung it,
9 and if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 ¶ And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
11 And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years and was bowed together and could in no wise lift herself up.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight and glorified God.
14 And the prince of the synagogue answered with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, and said unto the people, There are six days in which it behooves men to work; in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead it away to drink?
16 And regarding this daughter of Abraham, who, behold, Satan had bound eighteen years, does it not behoove us to release her from this bond on the Sabbath day?
17 And as he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed, but all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 ¶ Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and unto what shall I compare it?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the heaven lodged in the branches of it.
20 And again he said, Unto what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.
22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 ¶ Then someone said unto him, Lord, are there few that are saved? And he said unto them,
24 Strive to enter in at the narrow gate; for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able.
25 When once the husband of the house is risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not from where ye are,
26 then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say unto you, I know you not from where ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 In that place shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 And others shall come from the east and from the west and from the north and from the south and shall sit at the table in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31 ¶ The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Go out and depart from here, for Herod will kill thee.
32 And he said unto them, Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33 Nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate; and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me until the time comes when ye shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
