7 The sons of Helah were Zereth, Zohar, and Ethnan;
8 and Koz begot Anub, Zobebah, and the families of Aharhel the son of Harum.
9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him in pain."
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, "Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!" So God granted him what he requested.
11 Chelub the brother of Shuhah begot Mehir, who was the father of Eshton.
12 And Eshton begot Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Ir-Nahash. These were the men of Rechah.

22 also Jokim, the men of Chozeba, and Joash; Saraph, who ruled in Moab, and Jashubi-Lehem. Now the records are ancient.
23 These were the potters and those who dwell at Netaim and Gederah; there they dwelt with the king for his work.
24 The sons of Simeon were Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul,
25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son.
26 And the sons of Mishma were Hamuel his son, Zacchur his son, and Shimei his son.

29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad,
30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

38 these mentioned by name were leaders in their families, and their father's house increased greatly.
39 So they went to the entrance of Gedor, as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
40 And they found rich, good pasture, and the land was broad, quiet, and peaceful; for some Hamites formerly lived there.
41 These recorded by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and they attacked their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and utterly destroyed them, as it is to this day. So they dwelt in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks there.
42 Now some of them, five hundred men of the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir, having as their captains Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
43 And they defeated the rest of the Amalekites who had escaped. They have dwelt there to this day.
1 Chronicles 5 (NKJV™)
1 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel--he was indeed the firstborn, but because he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright;
2 yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph's--
3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4 The sons of Joel were Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 and Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria carried into captivity. He was leader of the Reubenites.
7 And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was registered: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal Meon.
9 Eastward they settled as far as the entrance of the wilderness this side of the River Euphrates, because their cattle had multiplied in the land of Gilead.
10 Now in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they dwelt in their tents throughout the entire area east of Gilead.
11 And the children of Gad dwelt next to them in the land of Bashan as far as Salcah:
12 Joel was the chief, Shapham the next, then Jaanai and Shaphat in Bashan,
13 and their brethren of their father's house: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jachan, Zia, and Eber--seven in all.
14 These were the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was chief of their father's house.
16 And the Gadites dwelt in Gilead, in Bashan and in its villages, and in all the common-lands of Sharon within their borders.
17 All these were registered by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 The sons of Reuben, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh had forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty valiant men, men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with the bow, and skillful in war, who went to war.
19 They made war with the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.
20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them, for they cried out to God in the battle. He heeded their prayer, because they put their trust in Him.
21 Then they took away their livestock--fifty thousand of their camels, two hundred and fifty thousand of their sheep, and two thousand of their donkeys--also one hundred thousand of their men;
22 for many fell dead, because the war was God's. And they dwelt in their place until the captivity.
23 So the children of the half-tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land. Their numbers increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir, or Mount Hermon.
24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were mighty men of valor, famous men, and heads of their fathers' houses.
25 And they were unfaithful to the God of their fathers, and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them.
26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria. He carried the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into captivity. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan to this day.

1 The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
2 The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

17 These are the names of the sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
18 The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

29 The sons of Merari were Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son, Uzzah his son,
30 Shimea his son, Haggiah his son, and Asaiah his son.
31 Now these are the men whom David appointed over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after the ark came to rest.
32 They were ministering with music before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of meeting, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they served in their office according to their order.
33 And these are the ones who ministered with their sons: Of the sons of the Kohathites were Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel,
34 the son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah,
35 the son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai,

37 the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah,
38 the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel.
39 And his brother Asaph, who stood at his right hand, was Asaph the son of Berachiah, the son of Shimea,
40 the son of Michael, the son of Baaseiah, the son of Malchijah,
41 the son of Ethni, the son of Zerah, the son of Adaiah,
42 the son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, the son of Shimei,
43 the son of Jahath, the son of Gershon, the son of Levi.
44 Their brethren, the sons of Merari, on the left hand, were Ethan the son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch,
45 the son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah,
46 the son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer,
47 the son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi.
48 And their brethren, the Levites, were appointed to every kind of service of the tabernacle of the house of God.
49 But Aaron and his sons offered sacrifices on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense, for all the work of the Most Holy Place, and to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
50 Now these are the sons of Aaron: Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son, Abishua his son,
51 Bukki his son, Uzzi his son, Zerahiah his son,
52 Meraioth his son, Amariah his son, Ahitub his son,
53 Zadok his son, and Ahimaaz his son.
54 Now these are their dwelling places throughout their settlements in their territory, for they were given by lot to the sons of Aaron, of the family of the Kohathites:
55 They gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, with its surrounding common-lands.
56 But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
57 And to the sons of Aaron they gave one of the cities of refuge, Hebron; also Libnah with its common-lands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its common-lands,
58 Hilen with its common-lands, Debir with its common-lands,
59 Ashan with its common-lands, and Beth Shemesh with its common-lands.
60 And from the tribe of Benjamin: Geba with its common-lands, Alemeth with its common-lands, and Anathoth with its common-lands. All their cities among their families were thirteen.
61 To the rest of the family of the tribe of the Kohathites they gave by lot ten cities from half the tribe of Manasseh.
62 And to the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, they gave thirteen cities from the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
63 To the sons of Merari, throughout their families, they gave twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.
64 So the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands to the Levites.
65 And they gave by lot from the tribe of the children of Judah, from the tribe of the children of Simeon, and from the tribe of the children of Benjamin these cities which are called by their names.
66 Now some of the families of the sons of Kohath were given cities as their territory from the tribe of Ephraim.

1 Chronicles 9 (NKJV™)
1 So all Israel was recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.
2 And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and the Nethinim.
3 Now in Jerusalem the children of Judah dwelt, and some of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh:
4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the descendants of Perez, the son of Judah.
5 Of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.
6 Of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel, and their brethren--six hundred and ninety.
7 Of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;
8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
9 and their brethren, according to their generations--nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of a father's house in their fathers' houses.
10 Of the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin;
11 Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the officer over the house of God;
12 Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
13 and their brethren, heads of their fathers' houses--one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
14 Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
16 Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren. Shallum was the chief.
18 Until then they had been gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi at the King's Gate on the east.
19 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father's house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance to the camp of the LORD.
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar had been the officer over them in time past; the LORD was with him.
21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was keeper of the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
22 All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. They were recorded by their genealogy, in their villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their trusted office.
23 So they and their children were in charge of the gates of the house of the LORD, the house of the tabernacle, by assignment.
24 The gatekeepers were assigned to the four directions: the east, west, north, and south.
25 And their brethren in their villages had to come with them from time to time for seven days.
26 For in this trusted office were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites. And they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
27 And they lodged all around the house of God because they had the responsibility, and they were in charge of opening it every morning.
28 Now some of them were in charge of the serving vessels, for they brought them in and took them out by count.
29 Some of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all the implements of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the incense and the spices.
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
31 Mattithiah of the Levites, the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the trusted office over the things that were baked in the pans.
32 And some of their brethren of the sons of the Kohathites were in charge of preparing the showbread for every Sabbath.
33 These are the singers, heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites, who lodged in the chambers, and were free from other duties; for they were employed in that work day and night.
34 These heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites were heads throughout their generations. They dwelt at Jerusalem.
35 Jeiel the father of Gibeon, whose wife's name was Maacah, dwelt at Gibeon.
36 His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.
38 And Mikloth begot Shimeam. They also dwelt alongside their relatives in Jerusalem, with their brethren.
39 Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-Baal.
40 The son of Jonathan was Merib-Baal, and Merib-Baal begot Micah.
41 The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.
42 And Ahaz begot Jarah; Jarah begot Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begot Moza;
43 Moza begot Binea, Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.
44 And Azel had six sons whose names were these: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these were the sons of Azel.
1 Chronicles 10 (NKJV™)
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
3 The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was wounded by the archers.
4 Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.
5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.
7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people.
10 Then they put his armor in the temple of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 all the valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance.
14 But he did not inquire of the LORD; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 11 (NKJV™)
1 Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, "Indeed we are your bone and your flesh.
2 "Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD your God said to you, 'You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.'"
3 Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. Then they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5 Then the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here!" Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).
6 Now David said, "Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief.
7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.
8 And he built the city around it, from the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 Then David went on and became great, and the LORD of hosts was with him.
10 Now these were the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam the son of a Hachmonite, chief of the captains; he had lifted up his spear against three hundred, killed by him at one time.
12 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 He was with David at Pasdammim. Now there the Philistines were gathered for battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley. And the people fled from the Philistines.
14 But they stationed themselves in the middle of that field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory.
15 Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
17 And David said with longing, "Oh, that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"
18 So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.
19 And he said, "Far be it from me, O my God, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.
20 Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of another three. He had lifted up his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three.
21 Of the three he was more honored than the other two men. Therefore he became their captain. However he did not attain to the first three.
22 Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
23 And he killed an Egyptian, a man of GREAT height, five cubits tall. In the Egyptian's hand there was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
24 These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three mighty men.
25 Indeed he was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him over his guard.
26 Also the mighty warriors were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,
28 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,
29 Sibbechai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,
30 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,
31 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, of the sons of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,
32 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,
33 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,
34 the sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shageh the Hararite,
35 Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur,
36 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,
37 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,
38 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Hagri,
39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite (the armorbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah),
40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,
41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,
42 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite (a chief of the Reubenites) and thirty with him,
43 Hanan the son of Maachah, Joshaphat the Mithnite,
44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham the Aroerite,
45 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,
46 Eliel the Mahavite, Jeribai and Joshaviah the sons of Elnaam, Ithmah the Moabite,
47 Eliel, Obed, and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.
1 Chronicles 12 (NKJV™)
1 Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag while he was still a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helpers in the war,
2 armed with bows, using both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows with the bow. They were of Benjamin, Saul's brethren.
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite;
4 Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;
5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;
6 Elkanah, Jisshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;
7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.
8 Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on 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, and Machbanai the eleventh.
14 These were from the sons of Gad, captains of the army; the least was over a hundred, and the greatest was over a thousand.
15 These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold.
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, "If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment."
18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: "We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you." So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.
19 And some from Manasseh defected to David when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying, "He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads."
20 When he went to Ziklag, those of Manasseh who defected to him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands who were from Manasseh.
21 And they helped David against the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army.
22 For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.
23 Now these were the numbers of the divisions that were equipped for war, and came to David at Hebron to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD:
24 of the sons of Judah bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred armed for war;
25 of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor fit for war, seven thousand one hundred;
26 of the sons of Levi four thousand six hundred;
27 Jehoiada, the leader of the Aaronites, and with him three thousand seven hundred;
28 Zadok, a young man, a valiant warrior, and from his father's house twenty-two captains;
29 of the sons of Benjamin, relatives of Saul, three thousand (until then the greatest part of them had remained loyal to the house of Saul);
30 of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men throughout their father's house;
31 of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king;
32 of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;
33 of Zebulun there were fifty thousand who went out to battle, expert in war with all weapons of war, stouthearted men who could keep ranks;
34 of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them thirty-seven thousand with shield and spear;
35 of the Danites who could keep battle formation, twenty-eight thousand six hundred;
36 of Asher, those who could go out to war, able to keep battle formation, forty thousand;
37 of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, from the other side of the Jordan, one hundred and twenty thousand armed for battle with every kind of weapon of war.
38 All these men of war, who could keep ranks, came to Hebron with a loyal heart, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were of one mind to make David king.
39 And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them.
40 Moreover those who were near to them, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys and camels, on mules and oxen--provisions of flour and cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, wine and oil and oxen and sheep abundantly, for there was joy in Israel.
1 Chronicles 13 (NKJV™)
1 Then David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us;
3 "and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul."
4 Then all the assembly 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 in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim.
6 And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed.
7 So they carried the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
8 Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 And when they came to Chidon's threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
10 Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.
11 And David became angry because of the LORD'S outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day.
12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?"
13 So David would not move the ark with him into the City of David, but took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that he had.
1 Chronicles 14 (NKJV™)
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 So David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel.
3 Then David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters.
4 And these are the names of his children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them.
9 Then the Philistines went and made a raid on the Valley of Rephaim.
10 And David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand."
11 So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water." Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
12 And when they left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Then the Philistines once again made a raid on the valley.
14 Therefore David inquired again of God, and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; circle around them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.
15 "And it shall be, when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines."
16 So David did as God commanded him, and they drove back the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
17 Then the fame of David went out into all lands, and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
1 Chronicles 15 (NKJV™)
1 David built houses for himself in the City of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tent for it.
2 Then David said, "No one may carry the ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever."
3 And David gathered all Israel together at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 Then David assembled the children of Aaron and the Levites:
5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and one hundred and twenty of his brethren;
6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and two hundred and twenty of his brethren;
7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and one hundred and thirty of his brethren;
8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and two hundred of his brethren;
9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and eighty of his brethren;
10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and one hundred and twelve of his brethren.
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
12 He said to them, "You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.
13 "For because you did not do it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order."
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
15 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.
16 Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.
17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of their brethren, the sons of Merari, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
18 and with them their brethren of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers;
19 the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze;
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with strings according to Alamoth;
21 Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, to direct with harps on the Sheminith;
22 Chenaniah, leader of the Levites, was instructor in charge of the music, because he was skillful;
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark;
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah, doorkeepers for the ark.
25 So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
26 And so it was, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bulls and seven rams.
27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the music master with the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the horn, with trumpets and with cymbals, making music with stringed instruments and harps.
29 And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the City of David, that Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David whirling and playing music; and she despised him in her heart.
1 Chronicles 16 (NKJV™)
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3 Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel:
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the LORD:
8 Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
9 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!
10 Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD!
11 Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore!
12 Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
17 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,"
19 When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.
20 When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,
21 He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
22 Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.
25 For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.
27 Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place.
28 Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Give to the LORD glory and strength.
29 Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."
32 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.
33 Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth.
34 Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
35 And say, "Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise."
36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD.
37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark regularly, as every day's work required;
38 and Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;
39 and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD which He commanded Israel;
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endures forever;
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.
43 Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
1 Chronicles 17 (NKJV™)
1 Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under tent curtains."
2 Then Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you."
3 But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 "Go and tell My servant David, 'Thus says the LORD: "You shall not build Me a house to dwell in.
5 "For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 "Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, 'Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?'"'
7 "Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.
8 "And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.
9 "Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,
10 "since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.
11 "And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 "He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
13 "I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.
14 "And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever."'"
15 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
16 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: "Who am I, O LORD God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
17 "And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
18 "What more can David say to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant.
19 "O LORD, for Your servant's sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20 "O LORD, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 "And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people--to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt?
22 "For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, LORD, have become their God.
23 "And now, O LORD, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said.
24 "So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.
25 "For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You.
26 "And now, LORD, You are God, and have promised this goodness to Your servant.
27 "Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O LORD, and it shall be blessed forever."
1 Chronicles 18 (NKJV™)
1 After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought tribute.
3 And David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his power by the River Euphrates.
4 David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And David also hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.
5 When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought tribute. So the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Also from Tibhath and from Chun, cities of Hadadezer, David brought a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and the articles of bronze.
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10 he sent Hadoram his son to King David, to greet him and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou); and Hadoram brought with him all kinds of articles of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 King David also dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold that he had brought from all these nations--from Edom, from Moab, from the people of Ammon, from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah killed eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13 He also put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.
14 So David reigned over all Israel, and administered judgment and justice to all his people.
15 Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
16 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Shavsha was the scribe;
17 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers at the king's side.
1 Chronicles 19 (NKJV™)
1 It happened after this that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.
2 Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.
3 And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"
4 Therefore Hanun took David's servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Then some went and told David about the men; and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Syrian Maachah, and from Zobah.
7 So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maachah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the people of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
9 Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array before the gate of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10 When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel's best and put them in battle array against the Syrians.
11 And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in battle array against the people of Ammon.
12 Then he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13 "Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight."
14 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
15 When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai his brother, and entered the city. So Joab went to Jerusalem.
16 Now when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought the Syrians who were beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of Hadadezer's army went before them.
17 When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan and came upon them, and set up in battle array against them. So when David had set up in battle array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18 Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians, and killed Shophach the commander of the army.
19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants. So the Syrians were not willing to help the people of Ammon anymore.
1 Chronicles 20 (NKJV™)
1 It happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it.
2 Then David took their king's crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David's head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.
3 And he brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. So David did to all the cities of the people of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Now it happened afterward that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of the giant. And they were subdued.
5 Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
1 Chronicles 21 (NKJV™)
1 Now Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.
2 So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring the number of them to me that I may know it."
3 And Joab answered, "May the LORD make His people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?"
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.
5 Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the sword.
6 But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
7 And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.
8 So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly."
9 And the LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,
10 "Go and tell David, saying, 'Thus says the LORD: "I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you."'"
11 So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: 'Choose for yourself,
12 'either three years of famine, or three months to be defeated by your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else for three days the sword of the LORD--the plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.' Now consider what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."
13 And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."
14 So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was destroying, the LORD looked and relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
17 And David said to God, "Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father's house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued."
18 Therefore, the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go and erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 So David went up at the word of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of the LORD.
20 Now Ornan turned and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves, but Ornan continued threshing wheat.
21 Then David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and bowed before David with his face to the ground.
22 Then David said to Ornan, "Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar on it to the LORD. You shall grant it to me at the full price, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."
23 And Ornan said to David, "Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. Look, I also give you the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I give it all."
24 Then King David said to Ornan, "No, but I will surely buy it for the full price, for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings with that which costs me nothing."
25 So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
26 And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called on the LORD; and He answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering.
27 So the LORD commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.
29 For the tabernacle of the LORD and the altar of the burnt offering, which Moses had made in the wilderness, were at that time at the high place in Gibeon.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
1 Chronicles 22 (NKJV™)
1 Then David said, "This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."
2 So David commanded to gather the aliens who were in the land of Israel; and he appointed masons to cut hewn stones to build the house of God.
3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails of the doors of the gates and for the joints, and bronze in abundance beyond measure,
4 and cedar trees in abundance; for the Sidonians and those from Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
5 Now David said, "Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it." So David made abundant preparations before his death.
6 Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.
7 And David said to Solomon: "My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD my God;
8 "but the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.
9 'Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
10 'He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son, and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'
11 "Now, my son, may the LORD be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the LORD your God, as He has said to you.
12 "Only may the LORD give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.
13 "Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments with which the LORD charged Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.
14 "Indeed I have taken much trouble to prepare for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it is so abundant. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.
15 "Moreover there are workmen with you in abundance: woodsmen and stonecutters, and all types of skillful men for every kind of work.
16 "Of gold and silver and bronze and iron there is no limit. Arise and begin working, and the LORD be with you."
17 David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 "Is not the LORD your God with you? And has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the LORD and before His people.
19 "Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD."
1 Chronicles 23 (NKJV™)
1 So when David was old and full of days, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and above; and the number of individual males was thirty-eight thousand.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to look after the work of the house of the LORD, six thousand were officers and judges,
5 four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with musical instruments, "which I made," said David, "for giving praise."
6 Also David separated them into divisions among the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei.
8 The sons of Laadan: the first Jehiel, then Zetham and Joel--three in all.
9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran--three in all. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Laadan.
10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei.
11 Jahath was the first and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were assigned as one father's house.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel--four in all.
13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should sanctify the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him, and to give the blessing in His name forever.
14 Now the sons of Moses the man of God were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.
15 The sons of Moses were Gershon and Eliezer.
16 Of the sons of Gershon, Shebuel was the first.
17 Of the descendants of Eliezer, Rehabiah was the first. And Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Of the sons of Izhar, Shelomith was the first.
19 Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah was the first and Jesshiah the second.
21 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters; and their brethren, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.
23 The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth--three in all.
24 These were the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses--the heads of the fathers' houses as they were counted individually by the number of their names, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and above.
25 For David said, "The LORD God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever";
26 and also to the Levites, "They shall no longer carry the tabernacle, or any of the articles for its service."
27 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above;
28 because their duty was to help the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts and in the chambers, in the purifying of all holy things and the work of the service of the house of God,
29 both with the showbread and the fine flour for the grain offering, with the unleavened cakes and what is baked in the pan, with what is mixed and with all kinds of measures and sizes;
30 to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;
31 and at every presentation of a burnt offering to the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons and on the set feasts, by number according to the ordinance governing them, regularly before the LORD;
32 and that they should attend to the needs of the tabernacle of meeting, the needs of the holy place, and the needs of the sons of Aaron their brethren in the work of the house of the LORD.
1 Chronicles 24 (NKJV™)
1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests.
3 Then David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to the schedule of their service.
4 There were more leaders found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads of their fathers' houses, and eight heads of their fathers' houses among the sons of Ithamar.
5 Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar.
6 And the scribe, Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and Levites, one father's house taken for Eleazar and one for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 This was the schedule of their service for coming into the house of the LORD according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
20 And the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
21 Concerning Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
22 Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.
23 Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
24 Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah; of the sons of Michah, Shamir.
25 The brother of Michah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah, Beno.
27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah were Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri.
28 Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
29 Of Kish: the son of Kish, Jerahmeel.
30 Also the sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers' houses.
31 These also cast lots just as their brothers the sons of Aaron did, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and Levites. The chief fathers did just as their younger brethren.
1 Chronicles 25 (NKJV™)
1 Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was:
2 Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.
3 Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the LORD.
4 Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.
5 All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to exalt his horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6 All these were under the direction of their father for the music in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the authority of the king.
7 So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the LORD, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.
8 And they cast lots for their duty, the small as well as the great, the teacher with the student.
9 Now the first lot for Asaph came out for Joseph; the second for Gedaliah, him with his brethren and sons, twelve;
10 the third for Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
11 the fourth for Jizri, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
12 the fifth for Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
13 the sixth for Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
14 the seventh for Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
15 the eighth for Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
16 the ninth for Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
17 the tenth for Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
18 the eleventh for Azarel, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
19 the twelfth for Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
20 the thirteenth for Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
21 the fourteenth for Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
22 the fifteenth for Jeremoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
23 the sixteenth for Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
24 the seventeenth for Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
25 the eighteenth for Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
26 the nineteenth for Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
27 the twentieth for Eliathah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
28 the twenty-first for Hothir, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
29 the twenty-second for Giddalti, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
30 the twenty-third for Mahazioth, his sons and his brethren, twelve;
31 the twenty-fourth for Romamti-Ezer, his sons and his brethren, twelve.
1 Chronicles 26 (NKJV™)
1 Concerning the divisions of the gatekeepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.
4 Moreover the sons of Obed-Edom were Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peulthai the eighth; for God blessed him.
6 Also to Shemaiah his son were sons born who governed their fathers' houses, because they were men of great ability.
7 The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad, whose brothers Elihu and Semachiah were able men.
8 All these were of the sons of Obed-Edom, they and their sons and their brethren, able men with strength for the work: sixty-two of Obed-Edom.
9 And Meshelemiah had sons and brethren, eighteen able men.
10 Also Hosah, of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the first (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him the first),
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 gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of the LORD.
13 And they cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father's house.
14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate;
15 to Obed-Edom the South Gate, and to his sons the storehouse.
16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway--watchman opposite watchman.
17 On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the storehouse two by two.
18 As for the Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers among the sons of Korah and among the sons of Merari.
20 Of the Levites, Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God and over the treasuries of the dedicated things.
21 The sons of Laadan, the descendants of the Gershonites of Laadan, heads of their fathers' houses, of Laadan the Gershonite: Jehieli.
22 The sons of Jehieli, Zetham and Joel his brother, were over the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
23 Of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
24 Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was overseer of the treasuries.
25 And his brethren by Eliezer were 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 treasuries of the dedicated things which King David and the heads of fathers' houses, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the army, had dedicated.
27 Some of the spoils won in battles they dedicated to maintain the house of the LORD.
28 And all that Samuel the seer, Saul the son of Kish, Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah had dedicated, every dedicated thing, was under the hand of Shelomith and his brethren.
29 Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons performed duties as officials and judges over Israel outside Jerusalem.
30 Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, one thousand seven hundred able men, had the oversight of Israel on the west side of the Jordan for all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.
31 Among the Hebronites, Jerijah was head of the Hebronites according to his genealogy of the fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought, and there were found among them capable men at Jazer of Gilead.
32 And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred able men, heads of fathers' houses, whom King David made officials over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and the affairs of the king.
1 Chronicles 27 (NKJV™)
1 And the children of Israel, according to their number, the heads of fathers' houses, the captains of thousands and hundreds and their officers, served the king in every matter of the military divisions. These divisions came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, each division having twenty-four thousand.
2 Over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel, and in his division were twenty-four thousand;
3 he was of the children of Perez, and the chief of all the captains of the army for the first month.
4 Over the division of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his division Mikloth also was the leader; in his division were twenty-four thousand.
5 The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, who was chief; in his division were twenty-four thousand.
6 This was the Benaiah who was mighty among the thirty, and was over the thirty; in his division was Ammizabad his son.
7 The fourth captain for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him; in his division were twenty-four thousand.
8 The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite; in his division were twenty-four thousand.
9 The sixth captain for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; in his division were twenty-four thousand.

14 The eleventh captain for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim; in his division were twenty-four thousand.
15 The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel; in his division were twenty-four thousand.
16 Furthermore, over the tribes of Israel: the officer over the Reubenites was 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 David's brothers; over Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;
19 over Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah; over Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of Azriel;
20 over the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah; over the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah;
21 over the half-tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; over Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;
22 over Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the leaders of the tribes of Israel.
23 But David did not take the number of those twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said He would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens.
24 Joab the son of Zeruiah began a census, but he did not finish, for wrath came upon Israel because of this census; nor was the number recorded in the account of the chronicles of King David.
25 And Azmaveth the son of Adiel was over the king's treasuries; and Jehonathan the son of Uzziah was over the storehouses in the field, in the cities, in the villages, and in the fortresses.
26 Ezri the son of Chelub was over those who did the work of the field for tilling the ground.
27 And Shimei the Ramathite was over the vineyards, and Zabdi the Shiphmite was over the produce of the vineyards for the supply of wine.
28 Baal-Hanan the Gederite was over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the lowlands, and Joash was over the store of oil.
29 And Shitrai the Sharonite was over the herds that fed in Sharon, and Shaphat the son of Adlai was over the herds that were in the valleys.
30 Obil the Ishmaelite was over the camels, Jehdeiah the Meronothite was over the donkeys,
31 and Jaziz the Hagrite was over the flocks. All these were the officials over King David's property.
32 Also Jehonathan, David's uncle, was a counselor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons.
33 Ahithophel was the king's counselor, and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion.
34 After Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, then Abiathar. And the general of the king's army was Joab.
1 Chronicles 28 (NKJV™)
1 Now David assembled at Jerusalem all the leaders of Israel: the officers of the tribes and the captains of the divisions who served the king, the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officials, the valiant men, and all the mighty men of valor.
2 Then King David rose to his feet and said, "Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made preparations to build it.
3 "But God said to me, 'You shall not build a house for My name, because you have been a man of war and have shed blood.'
4 "However the LORD God of Israel chose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, He was pleased with me to make me king over all Israel.
5 "And of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
6 "Now He said to me, 'It is your son Solomon who shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his Father.
7 'Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.'
8 "Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, be careful to seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you forever.
9 "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.
10 "Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it."
11 Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat;
12 and the plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things;
13 also for the division of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the articles of service in the house of the LORD.
14 He gave gold by weight for things of gold, for all articles used in every kind of service; also silver for all articles of silver by weight, for all articles used in every kind of service;
15 the weight for the lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight for each lampstand and its lamps; for the lampstands of silver by weight, for the lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand.
16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of the showbread, for each table, and silver for the tables of silver;
17 also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls--he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl;
18 and refined gold by weight for the altar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
19 "All this," said David, "the LORD made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the works of these plans."
20 And David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God--my God--will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
21 "Here are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and every willing craftsman will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for every kind of service; also the leaders and all the people will be completely at your command."
1 Chronicles 29 (NKJV™)
1 Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: "My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is young and inexperienced; and the work is great, because the temple is not for man but for the LORD God.
2 "Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might: gold for things to be made of gold, silver for things of silver, bronze for things of bronze, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood, onyx stones, stones to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance.
3 "Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver:
4 "three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses;
5 "the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be done by the hands of craftsmen. Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?"
6 Then the leaders of the fathers' houses, leaders of the tribes of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the officers over the king's work, offered willingly.
7 They gave for the work of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, into the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly.
10 Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said: "Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all.
12 Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all.
13 "Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You.
15 For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, As were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, And without hope.
16 "O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own.
17 "I know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You.
18 "O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You.
19 "And give my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the temple for which I have made provision."
20 Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." So all the assembly blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king.
21 And they made sacrifices to the LORD and offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22 So they ate and drank before the LORD with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before the LORD to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest.
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, submitted themselves to King Solomon.
25 So the LORD exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27 And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
28 So he died in a good old age, full of days and riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.
29 Now the acts of King David, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
30 with all his reign and his might, and the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands.

PLACES OF INTEREST:

Cave of Adullam – Located 12 miles southwest of Bethlehem, this was one of David's favorite hiding places when he was fleeing from Saul.

City Of David – Originally called Zion, David renamed the city after he conquered Zion.

Gath – The closest Philistine city to Israelite territory. This city posed the greatest threat to Israel.

Hebron - Hebron is one of most ancient cities in the Middle East, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It was also an ancient Canaanite royal city. According to archaeological findings it was probably founded in the 35th century B.C. It is mentioned numerous times in the Bible. In particular, a nearby cave called the Cave of the Patriarchs is where Jews believe Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah are buried.

Jebus – Another name for Jerusalem. The name was coined by the Israelites because the city belonged to the Jebusites.

Jerusalem - Built and founded by the Jebusites, it became the capital of the Jewish kingdoms of Israel, Judah and Judea in the First Temple and Second Temple periods.

Kirjath Jearim - Kirjath Jearim was mentioned as a Hivite city and is connected with the Gibeonites. It is mentioned as the place where the Ark of the Covenant was moved after being in Beth Shemesh. About 70 years afterward, the ark was moved to Jerusalem and placed in a tent outside the palace of David.

Medeba – located 20 miles southwest of Rabbah, the capital of Ammon. Today it is known as Madaba. It was here that Aramean armies and the Ammonites attacked Israel. Israel was caught in the middle.

Mount Gilboa – Gilboa is a ridge above the Valley of Jezreel in Israel. The ridge extends east-west and is west of the Jordan River. The name is sometimes referenced in the Hebrew Bible as Mount Gilboa. The ridge also lent its name to the second battle (the Battle of Gilboa) fought in the valley below, in which the Philistines defeated Saul and Israel.

Mount Moriah - Mount Moriah is the name of the elongated north-south stretch of land lying between Kidron Valley and "Hagai" Valley, between Mount Zion to the west and the Mount of Olives to the east. It would become the place where the temple was built.

Valley of Rephaim – The scene of many battles between Israel and the Philistines. The valley extended southwest from Jerusalem and marked the northern border of Judah.

Valley of Salt – Located a few miles east of Beersheba. It was here that David smote the Syrians. Amaziah also slew ten thousand Edomites.

Ziklag – Located 25 miles southwest of Gath, Ziklag became David's private possession. David made raids from Ziklag when he was hiding from Saul.

Zion – Another name for Jerusalem. The original Canaanite city was surrounded by high, thick walls and considered a stronghold.

PEOPLE OF INTEREST:

Abishai – One of David's mighty men. He was the brother of Joab. He killed three hundred men with his sword and was the most respected of all the mighty men of David.

Asaph – Leader of the Gershonite Levites. Asaph and his sons ministered as singers and composers.

Eleazar – One of David's mighty men. The son of Dodo, he defended a field of barley from the Philistines.

Ethan – Head of the Merarite division of musicians. He composed Psalm 89 and was known as a wise man.

Heman– The grandson of the prophet Samuel, a Kohathite. He is probably the same Heman mentioned in the inscription of Psalm 88.

Hiram King of Tyre – A powerful ruler of the Phoenician city-state of Tyre. He supplied material for the construction of the temple and other buildings – including David's palace.

Ishbosheth – Saul's fourth son who survived the battle where his father took his own life. He became king of Israel five years after Saul's death.

Jashobeam – One of David's mighty men. He killed 300 men with his spear.

Jeduthun – A musician; also known as Ethan. He "prophesied with a harp."

Michal – The daughter of Saul. David married Michal at the beginning of his time of service to Saul. Saul annulled the marriage when David took flight from Saul.

Nathan – The prophet who served David and Solomon as a private chaplain or counselor.

Obed-Edom - There are two men by this name. The first is Obed-Edom whose house sheltered the ark for three months. He was also the chief door-keeper. The second was the son of Jeduthun and was also a gatekeeper.

Saul – The first king of the ancient Kingdom of Israel. According to the Bible, Saul took his own life when wounded as the battle turned against him.

Uriah The Hittite – The husband of Bathsheba. David had Joab arrange to have him killed in battle in order to marry his wife.

Uriel – The head of the Kohathite clan. David divided the Levites into three groups, the Kohathites, the Merarites and the Gershonites.

Zadok – When Solomon came into power Zadok ministered as high priest at the temple.

FUN FACTS:

A house of cedar – This was an indication of David's wealth. Cedar panelingwas too expensive to be used in ordinary homes.

Anointed Ones – Those who were set apart for God's service.

Dagon – A false god worshipped by the Philistines and other people in Syria and northwest Mesopotamia as the god of grain. The Philistines celebrated military victories by bringing a trophy of their success back to the temple of Dagon where it could displayed as tribute.

Instruments of God – Instruments used to sing songs of praise to God. Music was an important way in which the people worshipped God, their creator. It was central to the worship life of Israel.

Levites – The descendants of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. The name is related to the verb "lava" which means to join – implying the Levites were joined to God. The Levites were divided into three groups – the Kohathites, the Gershonites and the Merarites. At Mount
Sinai, God chose Aaron to be the nation's high priest. Only a descendent
of Aaron could serve as a priest, but the other branches of the Levites
shared in caring for the tabernacle. David created new duties once the
temple was constructed by instituting musicians, singers, gatekeepers,
treasurers and royal officials.

Prophets – The office of prophet as a "professional" calling began with Samuel. However, there were individuals – such as Abraham – who were known as prophets.

Satan – The first mention of the name Satan is found in 1 Chronicles. The word means "adversary" and was used as a proper name.

Sackcloth – A rough garment usually made of goat's hair and worn by mourners as an expression of grief.

Sheminith – Derived from the Hebrew word for "eight," referring to the musical scales.

If you have ever taken the Bible from 30,000 Feet quiz on the web site. It's very revealing. I was on it today and I took my own quiz from the last study and I failed two questions. There were only ten questions, but some of them are hard questions.
Let's turn in our Bible to 1 Chronicles chapter 1. In this study we will cover the entire book of 1 Chronicles as we make our way through the entire Bible. We've been on quite a journey and I think this is our 21st study in this series. We are going to cover the whole book because this is a repeat of some material that we've already covered so we are going to highlight it, look at some things, mention a few others, and move on.
Let's have a word of prayer. Lord, as fun and as rewarding it has already been tonight in our worship and not only in our worship but in our fellowship before we even got here: out in the parking lot or out in the foyer, out by the fountain, café and book store and then even in the sanctuary when we arrived. Meeting people and fellowshipping and catching up and being encouraged by others. It's a fulfilling exercise and Father we pray that as we gather now around Your Word that even though it's not in depth and even though we are going to notice some broad principles, I pray Your Spirit will help us to understand the scope of Your plan not only in history but for us individually. We anticipate and experience Your presence with us as You, God with us, are here, not only in the pages of Your Word but in every true believer. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
When we hear the word chronicle, we typically think of a newspaper: The San Francisco Chronicle or the Houston Chronicle. It is the chronicling of the events of any community. It's the reporter's view giving the history of a city. That's not far from what we are going to see here. The 1 and 2 books of Chronicles gives you the vantage point of the history of the nation especially the southern kingdom, especially the city of Jerusalem, and especially the kingdom of David. It's far more, however, than just a report or a newspaper set of reports. It's more than just a chronology, though there is a lot of chronology, and it's more than history though there's enough of that in what we are about to read. It is the history of the nation from a spiritual perspective. 1 Chronicles will cover some of the same material we have already covered in books like 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, and 2 Kings. Some of those events that we have already read are here in 1 Chronicles. However, I look at 1 Chronicles like an editorial. It's a divine editorial and the history of the nation from a spiritual perspective. We don't know for sure who the author of the book is. I believe it was none other than Ezra who wrote the book of Ezra. Actually the Talmud, the Jewish writings, give the authorship to Ezra. As you go through this book and you take the time to actually read the whole book, which some of us have done, and if you compare it to the style in the book of Ezra there are very similar styles. Ezra was a priest and he writes as a priest and the perspective of 1 Chronicles is a spiritual perspective as if written by a priest. So it is very possible that Ezra wrote this book. Here is another clue. The last couple of verses of the book of 2 Chronicles, chapters 36, verses 22 and 23, and the first three verses of Ezra chapter 1 are identical; with some minor textual variation but other than that they are identical texts. So there is enough here that would infer that Ezra was probably the one who wrote this divine perspective and editorial for those who had come back from the Babylonian captivity as encouragement to rebuild their nation.
Now, let me give you the outline of the book. I like to divide this book up into pretty noticeable slices and there are only two. Chapters 1 through 9 are obviously an entity all to themselves because it's like reading a phone book; it's a list of names. Chapters 10 through the end of the book, chapter 29, is more historical. So you have genealogical and historical. Or you can call chapters 1 through 9, The Rightful Ancestry of David or David's Rightful Ancestry. Chapters 10 through 29 can be called David's Royal Activity. You can slice the book right into two.
What's interesting about chapters 1 through 9 which are filled with these genealogical tables is that the genealogies go all the way back to Adam; from Adam to David. So chapters 1 through 9 actually span 3,000 years of history. But chapters 10 through 29 which cover the reign of King David only cover 30 years. So you can see that the emphasis of the author is showing you a genealogy up until David the King is on the scene and everything that revolves around his leadership as the King of Israel.
Now there are some themes to be aware of in this book. Theme number one is God's blessing. Theme number two is God's judgment and theme number three is God's covenant. Those are the three big words that are mega themes of the book of 1 Chronicles. By the way, the name David is mentioned more than 180 times in this book. That will give you a clue as to what the subject of the book is about - David and the promises that God makes to David.
Let's look at David's rightful ancestry and look briefly at some verses; at 3,000 years of history; and at genealogies from Adam to David. Chapter 1, verse 1: "Adam, Seth, Enosh." Verse 4: "Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth," all familiar names. Verse 24: "Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah," Verse 25: "Eber, Peleg, Reu," (for you trivia buffs, verse 25 is the shortest verse in the Old Testament; the shortest verse in the New Testament is John 11:35). Verse 26: "Serug, Nahor, Terah, and Abram, who is Abraham. The sons of Abraham were Isaac and Ishmael. These are their genealogies."
In chapter 2 we have the line of Ram until King David and here are a few names. Verse 10: "Ram begot Amminadab, and Amminadab begot Nahshon, leader of the children of Judah; Nahshon begot Salma, and Salma begot Boaz; Boaz begot Obed, and Obed begot Jesse; Jesse begot Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, Shimea the third, Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, Ozem the sixth, and David the seventh."
Chapter 3, verse 1: "Now these were the sons of David who were born to him in Hebron." So in these nine chapters we have the most extensive chronological list to be found anywhere in the pages of the Bible. From Adam all the way through the twelve tribes of Israel and now to the Dynasty of King David. They are highly selective because there are a lot of people mentioned but there are a whole lot of other people that would be left out. It's selective because the author is trying to draw your attention historically from Adam to David. So you have an emphasis on the Tribe of Benjamin because that was King Saul's tribal allotment. You have the Tribe of Judah because that was King David's tribal allotment and then you have David and his ancestry that are mentioned here. David's ancestry is shown from the dawn of human history and the past forward up onto and through the captivity. Keep in mind who is writing the book; Ezra. This is post captivity after they leave Babylon and they come back to Jerusalem. He is trying to encourage the followers, the Jews who have been in bondage for 70 years and are now back building their homeland and their temple. He is trying to encourage them saying, "Look God has had a plan that extends all the way back in human history with Adam and extends all the way through to King David because God has a plan for the future of this kingdom of which David was once the king." He is trying to give them encouragement for building.
When the New Testament opens, the first 17 verses are not exactly what we would call a literary hook. They don't really grab your attention because it's a genealogical record. "So and so begot so and so" and that's how the New Testament begins; with a whole bunch of "begots." But what you should understand is that just because it begins with a genealogy and it's not an attention getter and doesn't seem interesting, that section is no less the Word of God than John 3:16. It's all the Word of God and all inspired by God and as Paul wrote to young Timothy, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction and righteousness," even the genealogical tables. I'll tell you why it's important. I know that if you have your Bible open and you're looking over the names in 1 Chronicles you're thinking, "Oh, man, that's not relevant to my life." Here's why the Jews kept genealogical records and it's very important. Number one, whenever they would sell land it was important that you proved what tribe you were from because you need to keep a record of that so that in the future your tribe, your family, and that name will be kept intact in the land. No matter what happens, you have authentication on record of who owns the land. So it was important for moving land from person to person and generation to generation. The number two reason that genealogies are important is because of the priesthood. Now, if Ezra wrote this book, and I believe that he did, it's pretty easy to see that to Ezra genealogies were paramount because when they came back from captivity not everyone remembered what tribe they were even from. Some of them couldn't prove their own tribe from the tribe of Levi in order to serve as priests in a rebuilt temple. So he would not let them serve because they couldn't prove genealogical records because only one tribe and one tribe only could serve in the Tabernacle and in the Temple and that was the Tribe of Levi. So because of land, because of the priesthood and a third and really important reason for the New Testament genealogy is because of the Messiah. The Messiah is promised throughout the Old Testament but the Messiah is promised through a specific tribe. If anybody would claim, "I am the Messiah," the first question any Jewish person would ask is, "Tell us about your family; show us your genealogical records; what tribe do you come from; can you be traced back to King David our greatest king?" So genealogical records were kept and parentage was important ultimately for that reason.
Over twenty years ago when we were in another building, a man came through the front door during a mid-week Bible Study on a Thursday night. I noticed him and then an assistant pastor came over and said, "Skip, there's a guy over here that says he's Jesus Christ. He says he'd like to talk to you." I said, "Boy, I would like to talk to him!" I brought him into my office and said, "Hi, I'm Skip," and he said, "I am Jesus." I said, "Great! Let me cut to the chase. What tribe are you from?" I stumped him and he didn't have anything to say. I said, "Okay, let's make it easy, where were you born?" Now if he is the Messiah you would expect him to say, Bethlehem. He said, "Pittsburg!" I opened the door and said, "Get out of here." So genealogical records were kept just in case somebody in the future would say, "I am the Messiah from Pittsburg."
Chapters 10 through 29 are the second slice of this book: David's royal activity. The rest of this book concerns the 30 years of David's reign over the kingdom, north, and south. It wasn't split at the time. It was God's people, the 12 tribes centered in Jerusalem. Chapter 10 gives us the end of Saul's kingdom and the beginning of David's kingdom. Watch this divine editorial on the spiritual health of this nation. Verse 13: "So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because he did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance. But he did not inquire of the Lord; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse." Chapter 11 is the beginning of David's kingdom. Verse 1: "Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, 'Indeed we are your bone and your flesh. Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the Lord your God said to you, 'You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.' Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel." Think back in your mind to 1 Samuel chapter 16 when the prophet Samuel was dispatched and deployed by God to go to Bethlehem and to the house of Jesse to find the next king. If you remember, he was really skittish about that and said, "Boy, what if Saul the king finds out that I am looking for the next king?" "You go tell him that you are there to sacrifice to the Lord." So he goes to the house of Jesse to find the next king. Why does he go looking for another king? This is now 1 Samuel chapter 13, verse 14, and this is God's word to Saul through the prophet: "'Now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for himself a man after his own heart and the Lord has commanded him to be the commander over his people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.'" David is called and he is the only one in the entire Bible who is given this description of "A man after God's own heart." Some of you might be thinking, "How can he be called a man after God's own heart? I read the whole story of David and I think he has a lot of flaws." You're right. He has a lot of flaws but he's called a man's after God's own heart and there are a lot of different ways to spin that phrase from the Hebrew. One translation says, "A man after God's own mind," or thinking God's thoughts. The Knox translation says, "He is a man to fulfill God's intentions," or God's purposes. Think of that phrase for a moment. Think of the possibilities of that phrase with those gathered in this room or those watching by internet or listening on the radio. Think if you were to become a man or a woman after God's own heart. That is, you want what God wants and you want to fulfill God's intention and God's purpose. You are thinking and you are living your life through that filter. "What is God's heart in this? What is He saying? How can I fit into His plan right here in my community?" Think of the possibilities of being a man or a woman after God's own heart. That's where it begins. Believe it or not, a while back I happened to come across a recipe. Now I'm not a great cook. I can do an egg and I can barbeque chicken okay. It was an old recipe for cooking a rabbit and here is how the recipe began. "First, catch the rabbit." That makes sense. It didn't say, "First go down to the store and buy the rabbit." First you have to catch it. That's how old the recipe is. That's the priority. To cook a rabbit you have to catch a rabbit. To be a spiritual influence in your society and in your family you have to first be spiritual. You first have to set priorities in your life and everything flows from the priorities that you set. If your priority is, "I want to be a man or a woman after God's own heart," the possibilities are unlimited.
There's a great story about a cathedral in Milan, Italy. There're three arches as you go up through the main entrance of it. The biggest arch is right in the middle and then there are two slightly diminutive arches on the right and the left. There is an inscription over each archway that you can see plainly in the stone as you are going up. The one over the left arch says, "All that pleases is but for a moment." On the other archway it says, "All that troubles is but for a moment." Right in the center is the most important of all and it says, "Nothing is important except that which is eternal." That's a great way to line up your life. You are going to go through life and you are going to have pleasant things happen to you and troublesome things happen to you and that's all momentary. The real important stuff is spiritual and eternal. If you can navigate your life that way, you'll be a man or a woman after God's own heart. That's what God said He wanted as far as the political leader of the country of Israel.
The rest of 1 Chronicles deals with King David up until the transition of leadership to his son Solomon. However, though we've already covered some of that ground historically there's a divine editorial here. If you were to compare the narratives in Samuel, Kings and 1 Chronicles there are certain things that are omitted as well certain things that are also included. For instance, included in Chronicles as well as in the other narrative is the story about bringing the Ark to Jerusalem and David blowing it. It tells of how they put it on a cart and when Uzza put his hand out to steady it because it was falling off God struck him dead. That whole failure is recorded here. But there are other things that are omitted here. Number one, David's struggle with King Saul is omitted from the record here. It's just not pertinent to the history of this author. Number two, David's sin with Bathsheba is omitted here. Number three Absalom's rebellion. None of those are spoken about in 1 Chronicles. Why? Simply because the audience that would get 1 Chronicles is post captivity and not in captivity like in 1 and 2 Kings. Ezra and Nehemiah will bring them back and want to encourage them that no matter what failures and stuff has happened in the past there's a whole new future and let's get up and rebuild the temple. So this divine editorial is put here to encourage those people and look for their glorious future.
Look at what God said to Samuel about King David. I'm quoting from a modern translation: "'The Lord doesn't make decision the way you do,' God said to the prophet Samuel, 'people judge by outward appearances but the Lord looks at the person's thoughts and intentions.'" He was referring to David. Remember that Jesse thought, "Oh, he's the youngest kid; he's watching sheep; what could he do?" Even Samuel thought, "I don't know if this is king material or not. I thought the big guy Eliab was the guy." So God had to stay, "Stop right there. You are looking at all the wrong things. I don't see like you or his dad sees. I'm looking at the thoughts and the intentions and the deep parts of the heart." So that whole concept and idea of God looking at the heart of a young boy and eventually a man after God's whole heart is what God captures in 1 Chronicles. God sees David, warts and all and flaws and all very differently then we see David. When you think of David, a lot of us could look at his history and say, "That guy was a failure. He was an adulterer and a murderer." Though the whole story is told in the Bible, the way God chooses to record it in this divine editorial is to preserve the thought that, "To me he's more than that. He's not just a failure or just a human with flaws and sins, to Me he is the king of Israel who will bring forth The Messiah through his genealogy." That's how he is held up in this book.
Let's look at another example of this divine editorial in chapter 12. In this chapter people from different tribes come to align themselves with this new king, David. Verse 21: "And they helped David against the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor." A whole list of their names and their feats are given in this section. "And they were captains in the army. For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God." That is the divine editorial. In other words a bunch of stragglers came and they kept streaming in every day and eventually there is a whole bunch of them and it was a mighty army and God would say, "Like the army of God."
So here is this group that has gathered around David, the new king and they are loyal to him. In the next few chapters, David finds himself at odds with a common enemy of Israel at the time, the Philistines. Now David has already fought the big Philistine guy, Goliath, but the Philistines are back and they settle in the land and they pose a lot of problems. David is becoming quite a warrior now but here we get insight into this great political warrior's prayer life. We see what kind of a man he was when he went into the battle field.
Chapter 14, verse 8: "Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went out against them. Then the Philistines went and made a raid on the Valley of Rephaim. And David inquired of God, saying, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?'
The Lord said to him, 'Go up, for I will deliver them into your hand.'" It's a great ruler, isn't it? It's a great leader, a great king, a great prime minister, and a great president who will say, "Let me pray about this first. Let me see what God's mind would be if He would speak to me about this." You may remember back when President Bush's dad was the president of the United States when the first gulf war was happening and the night that he decided to invade Bagdad. Before he did, he invited Billy Graham to the White House to spend the night. I'll never forget it because I was on the phone to Billy's son Franklin and he said, "Heads up, my dad just went to the White House." So I knew in advance or he was telling me, "I think that means there's going to be an attack and he wants some spiritual support." I admire any president who will get spiritual support for any kind of a move. "Hey, come in here. Give me advice. What does God say?" Here King David does that.
In chapters 13 through 16 there is that whole section of moving the Ark of the Covenant after the Philistines brought it back and it's now under the control of Israel once again. That sacred relic that used to be in the Tabernacle will once again be in the temple. It's that whole incident of trying to do the right thing the wrong way; moving the Ark of the Covenant up to Jerusalem. The move, the mess up, the failure, and leaving the Ark in Kiriath Jearim for a long time are all recorded. Without going through it again, eventually it does go up to Jerusalem the right way; the Levites carry it. Eventually it makes its way into Jerusalem in a tent prepared for it and there is a great celebration.
We are going to move to chapter 17. This chapter is the key chapter of this book. It's the pivotal chapter of the book. In fact I'll even say that this chapter is one of the most pivotal chapters in the rest of the Bible because it deals with that word I mentioned in our introduction: covenant. Blessings, judgment, covenant - those are the three big themes. This chapter deals with the covenant and it is a repetition of 2 Samuel chapter 7 but from a divine standpoint. In 2 Samuel chapter 7 and in chapter 17 of 1 Chronicles is the covenant that God makes with King David. If you don't understand this covenant, a lot of the Bible will be shrouded in mystery. A lot of the phrases and verses will not make sense and you will not get the meaning of it. This is a pivotal chapter because God promises here that David will have a lineage that will last forever and ever. Who would that refer to? Jesus Christ. Part of the covenant that God makes will be fulfilled in David's son Solomon who will sit on the throne but a large portion of it must be fulfilled in Jesus Christ. We always like to talk about the scarlet thread of redemption. That is a phrase we've mentioned in this Bible From 30,000 Feet study. What I'd like to do is to show you how Jesus is seen in different parts of the Old Testament all the way to the New and chapter 17 is that scarlet thread. It's Jesus in 1 Chronicles.
Here is how the story goes. David is in Jerusalem and he looks around one day and says, "Gosh, I have some nice digs here; I live in a good spot and I got it made here. But when I look outside my window I see that God is living in a tent." He was referring to the Ark of the Covenant under this little tent that they built. So he is sort of feeling sorry for God and is thinking, "I feel like God is homeless while I live in this nice palace. So I'm going to build a huge house for God," the Temple. The prophet Nathan, who is with him in his chambers, says, "Do all that is in your heart, David." Like, "Right on dude! Amen! Good attitude!" That night God wakes Nathan up and says, "Nathan, you spoke to soon. You told him to go do everything that is in his heart but I have to tell you something. I don't need a big house. I never asked for some edifice to be built for Me. I dwelt in the tent, the tabernacle and I've always been with you." But he loved the heart that David had in doing something for God. Look at 1 Chronicles 17 verse 9: "'Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel.'" So David is saying, "I want to build God something special," and God is saying, "'I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a house.'" Now David has been thinking of literally building God a house; a building; a temple for worship. David is thinking of a literal house and God promises David a house dynastically. A dynasty and a lineage; that he'll have sons that will be raised up. So here is David making plans for God and God says, "Hold up! Nathan go tell David, 'Have I got plans for you! You're making plans for Me and you got this cool house laid out for Me but I'm going to make you a house, a lineage, a genealogy, a dynasty and My plans for you are great.'" Here's a point to be made. You can never out give God. The heart of God shines through here. Anytime you make any overture or there is any desire in your heart, "Oh, I want to serve the Lord in this or that capacity; or God put it on my heart to get involved over there; I'm going to do something for God," understand that God says, "I love that heart and I'm going to do something for you. I'm going to bless you and I'm going to do things through you and for you." You can never out give him. Verse 11: "'And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled,'" (when you kick the bucket), "'When you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build Me a house.'" Now He speaks literally - it's Solomon who will build the temple; David makes the plans and comes up with the financing, but Solomon will build the house, the literal temple. "'And I will establish his throne forever.'" Is this referring to Solomon? Is he still alive? Is his throne still alive? No, but the throne of David and the son of David is promised to reign forever. "'I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.'" (that is Saul), "'And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.'" So here is the covenant. In the first component of the covenant God says, "David you're going to have a son and he is going to build a temple, a house," and that is Solomon. The second component is that the throne of David is going to be established forever; not through Solomon although he is the son of David, but Solomon becomes in a sense, the archetype of the greater Son of David and the ultimate Son of David and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. So look at it historically. David is the king; he dies and Solomon takes over. The Kingdom is split after Solomon dies and you have Jeroboam and Rehoboam. Rehoboam is the son of Solomon and sits on the throne. The dynasty of David is uninterrupted until the Babylonian captivity and then it's interrupted. Then they come back but there is no king to sit upon the throne. Even when Jesus Christ comes back the first time, He doesn't come to reign as a king over a worldly kingdom but He comes as the Savior. When Jesus came the first time, He came to deal with sin and he came as the Savior. But if you look at the second coming, it's vastly different than the first. We read about it in Revelation chapter 19. We don't have a little meekly, babe coming in Bethlehem; or later on Jesus riding a donkey meek and mild. We have the coming King on a steed with judgment and ruling over the whole creation. So at the first coming, Jesus doesn’t reign, He deals with sin and salvation. At the second coming this will be fulfilled as He occupies the throne of David and rules and reigns. Keep that thought in mind because we will close with that later on in this study.
I mentioned that this was a pivotal chapter. I'll say once again but in a different way that it's going to be hard to understand the prophets, the ministry of Jesus Christ and it will be hard for you to understand eschatology in general, or a study of the last things, unless you get a grasp on chapter 17. Here's why. The New Testament begins. "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ," and it says, "the son of David." That is because Matthew wants you to know that this One will fulfill the promise that God made to King David back in this chapter in Chronicles. When Gabriel appears to Mary in Luke chapter 1 he says: "'And behold you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus and he will be great and will be called the son of the highest and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David.'" Keep in mind that you have a young girl who is about 13 years of age and she has already flipped out that an angel is talking to her in the middle of the night. She is even more flipped out that the angel said that even though you've never had any sexual relationships with any man, you are pregnant. And now, the Lord will give your child the throne of His father David and you are the vessel to bring forth the Messiah.
On Pentecost in Acts chapter 3, Peter begins his sermon with David. Here is Peter's sermon on Pentecost as he quotes Psalm 16 by David: "'Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you that the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried and his tomb is with us to this day therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God has sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body according to the flesh he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne.'" All of these verses that we are reading tie back to chapter 17 of 1 Chronicles.
As the book of 1 Chronicles goes on, temple worship is explained. David prepares materials for it and Solomon will be the one who will build it.
Chapter 22, verse 6: "Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel." This was David's temple and this was his idea. God put it in David's heart or at least it came from David's heart, the man after God's own heart. Solomon will build it but historically if you read literature about the first and second temple periods, you find that the first temple is always referred to as Solomon's Temple even though it really wasn't. It was David's Temple built by his son and God just said, "David, you've got blood on your hands so your son is going to have to build it and not you." I was listening to J. Vernon McGee the other day speaking on this section of Scripture. He was talking about how people call it Solomon's Temple and said in his southern accent, "The only temple that Solomon had was on the side of his head. It was David's temple!" Verse 7: "And David said to Solomon: 'My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the Lord my God; but the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'You have shed much blood and have made great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight. Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon,'" (the name means peace or rest), "'for I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.'" So the temple and the ministry of the temple is outlined.
In chapters 23 and 24 are 24 divisions of priests who will serve in their courses. There are the duties for the Levites and the Kohathites. (Remember the Kohathites and the Gershonites and the Merarites were those three branches of the family that did different things?)
Chapter 25 is all about worship leaders, musicians, and singers.
Chapter 26 is all about the ushers or the gate keepers.
Chapter 27 is all about the chief officers and the captains and the military branch that would be guarding that central portion of Jerusalem.
Chapter 28 is a public leadership meeting as David announces his plans of building the temple to the people of Israel.
In chapter 29 David takes an offering. There is a building program and buildings cost a lot of money so he takes an offering and the response is overwhelming. Verse 9: "Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the Lord; and King David also rejoiced greatly." He is not going to build the temple, Solomon is. But he is preparing the financing for it and he is so stoked because he can die a happy man knowing that temple is going to be built. It was in his heart and he wants to honor God and the people have responded willingly for the right reason. I believe there is another reason why this is in here and it comes to us in the book of Haggai when after captivity, (they come from captivity with Ezra and Nehemiah to build the temple), they start rebuilding it and then they get lackluster about it. They just sort of get apathetic and say, "Oh, whatever," and people start building their own homes, fixing up their own places and forgetting about the temple in Jerusalem. So the prophet Haggai has to come along and rebuke the people for becoming so selfish and thinking only about their lives when the temple is in disrepair. I think Ezra knew that history and wanted to pull that in the forefront as the people are now back in Jerusalem. He's saying, "Hey, remember your forefathers, when King David took an offering for this place and they gave willingly and David rejoiced." Verse 20: "Then David said to all the assembly, 'Now bless the Lord your God.' So all the assembly blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the Lord and the king." This was followed by an enormous amount of animal sacrifice that is mentioned in the following verses. Thousands of animals are slaughtered as a sacrifice to the Lord. Verse 22: "So they ate and drank before the Lord with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him before the Lord to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest." In verse 26 of chapter 29 we have a summary of King David's reign: "Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem. So he died in a good old age, full of days." It's an interesting description. "Hey did you hear? David died." "Really! What was the cause of death?" "He was full of days." His time was up. There is a time appointed for everyone and when you are full of the days God has appointed it will be your time. "David died full of days and riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place. Now the acts of King David, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer." I don't know much about these books and I've never read them, but I just know that they existed at that time and they were probably chronicles kept by these people. Just a word about chronicling: Before there were ever any cameras, MP3 players, tape recorders, CD's or DVD's, there were chroniclers. Every single court had people in the court taking notes every day. They would record the events of that day and they would enter them into the log and it's throughout all of history. So these were probably other chronicles that are not canonical books or inspired by God to be in the canon of Scripture it is recorded that these books existed.Verse 30: "With all his reign and his might, and the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands." The reign of King David is summed up in this book and his reign was one of might, power, splendor and for the most part it was even peaceful once he got on the throne. His followers were loyal and reigned with him and the mighty men, those that reigned with David, are mentioned.
I want to close with Revelation chapter 20. John is chronicling what he has seen in this revelation that God gave to Jesus and that Jesus gave to the angel who gave it now to John who writes it down for us. Verse 1: "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan." By the way I didn't mention it and we didn't read it because it was in another section of Scripture but the first time the word Satan is ever used or mentioned in the Bible is in 1 Chronicles. "and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while." That has always puzzled a lot of people. Why is God in the future going to release Satan once he is bound? My question is why did God let him out the first time? If you can answer that one, I'll give you the second answer. Verse 4: "And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years." The Bible predicts that in the end times after the tribulation period on the earth, after the second coming of Christ, and after judgment, there will come on the earth 1,000 years. That's where we get the term millennium. People say, "The word millennium isn't in the Bible." Well the word for 1,000 years is in the Bible and another word for that is millennium. It's best to read the Bible straight up, straight forward and literal. I think 1,000 years means 1,000 years! Big revelation! But there are a lot of people who like to spiritualize it. "Well it doesn’t really mean 1,000 years." In fact some people say and there is a theological viewpoint that says we are in the millennium right now. If that's true I have to say that I am really disappointed. If this is it, no thank you! 1,000 years is 1,000 years and the reason I say this is because if you start messing with it and saying, "Well there is no need for a millennium and what is the point of 1,000 years and maybe it's figurative and spiritual and not literal," then you have to mess with a lot of other Scripture. For instance, when God predicts that Israel will be in Egypt for 400 years and then get released into their own land, you find out later that God really meant it and it was 400 years. It was not spiritual but literal. Or when God predicts 70 years captivity, you find out later that it wasn't spiritual but it was literally 70 years. You don't have any right then to come to Revelation and say that it doesn't mean that. Well if it doesn't mean that what does it mean? If it doesn't mean that it can mean anything and then you have a confusing view point and nobody takes the Bible for what it literally says. Here's the question: Why do we need a millennium? What's the point? Why not go from all the bad stuff to right into heaven, the eternal state? Why not at the end of the world just go right into the eternal state and bliss and why 1,000 years on the earth? That's what the millennium is. 1,000 years of Christ reigning on the earth. Why do we need a millennium? Two reasons: The millennium is needed to redeem creation from the curse and from the judgment. Back in the first couple of chapters of Genesis a curse fell upon the earth and a curse has been on the earth ever since the fall. When you get to the tribulation period and the early chapters of the book of Revelation we discover that the earth is going to be decimated and trashed, with all due respect to the environmentalists. I think we should preserve what God gave us the best that we can but if you think we messed it up, you ain't seen nothing yet! Wait until God gets a hold of this environment and absolutely trashes it. So because of the fall and the curse and because of the judgment during the tribulation period there is going to be a need to renew and restore that which is destroyed and 1,000 years is God's answer to the prayers of the saints for the last 2,000 years, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." The second reason and here is really the point of it, the millennium is needed for God to fulfill all of the promises he made to His people in the past, especially King David. God promised to King David a kingdom and that His greater Son, the Messiah would reign, and the kingdom is predicted not only to King David but to all the prophets. Did you know that every one of the Prophets speak about a coming kingdom; an earthly kingdom and a heavenly kingdom? Not just heavenly spiritual eternal bliss on the clouds playing harps, but a literal earthly kingdom is mentioned and the millennium is the first part of that. How is God going to fulfill all of the promises through all of the prophets to David, etc. throughout all of the Old Testament? The first installment of that promise is the millennium. That is the earthly kingdom where Christ literally rules and reigns from the city of Jerusalem over the whole earth. Restored and renewed earth - 1,000 years of that and then the second phase of that is what we call the eternal state. So Jesus Christ will reign and rule from Mount Zion. So we started with a theme and we end with a theme. If the chronicler was trying to say, "Look, from the beginning of mankind, starting with Adam, God has preserved a people, and a lineage that has lead to King David. Then He promised David a kingdom that includes his own offspring. God can preserve from eternity past all the way through history this people through David and his people to be in the land. Then take heart; build the temple; and build the city." If that is in the mind of the chronicler, we understand like we mentioned before in other studies, that God's plan to bring forth the Messiah and the Scriptures and blessing to the earth revolves around what we have called the epicenter - Jerusalem; Israel. Now Israel has been in the news for the last 4,000 years; it's always in the news. Sometimes there is a lot of debate as to who is right and who should be occupying what territory, etc. There are a lot of politics involved and I am not going to say that everything Israel has done and every ruling that prime ministers have made have been correct and right, but I do stand by God's covenant with His people. There is a little poem that I'll never forget: "How odd of God to choose the Jew; but not so odd as those who choose the Jewish God, but hate the Jew." I always have problems when I go to certain countries and they say, "You can speak on anything, but don't talk about Israel or God's plan for that nation." Okay, so there's just a whole lot of the Bible you can never teach or you have to spiritualize it to make it mean anything other than what it really means that you leave out the whole picture. God has a plan and whether you support His plan or not, it's going to happen. Jesus Christ the Son of David will rule and reign from Jerusalem for 1,000 years so get used to it because you are going to rule and reign with Him. In fact you are going to up every year to the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. If you've said you've always wanted to go to Israel, don't worry, you'll go. It'll be free, you don't have to buy a ticket, you don’t have to go on a tour, and it'll look a lot better than it does now. However, what's really cool about going on a tour now is that you have a before and after comparison. Because you'll stand there and think, "Boy, I remember what it was like last time I when I was here and it's totally different now."
Let's pray. Heavenly Father thank You for the time that we've spent and thank You for letting us get a glimpse into your covenant, Your promise. Lord, forever means forever and 1,000 means 1,000 and 144,000 means 144,000 just like 70 years captivity means 70 years. You keep Your promises and we don't have a right to tamper with them or alter them or make them fit our own predisposed theology or eschatology. Lord, we bow before You and before Your Word and we pray that it will have full access to every part of our lives. Our career choices, our marriages, our families, our children, what we listen to, what we watch, and how we treat other people. Lord, as You are so merciful and were merciful with David and his lineage Your ultimate mercy was displayed in Your Son Jesus Christ. Thank You for that. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

The fifteenth flight over the Bible from 30,000 Feet will take us on journey through 1 Samuel chapters 1-15. Join our tour guide, Pastor Skip Heitzig for this exciting tour on which we'll meet a man who would be become King. This man's good looks, physical size and success in war made him an obvious choice from a human perspective, but the book of 1 Samuel highlights his tragic flaw - he disobeyed God's commands. From the ashes of Saul's tragedy God raises up another man who would become King, a man after His own heart, King David. The key chapters to review are 1-3, 8-10 and 15.
