And David madeH6213 him housesH1004 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, and preparedH3559 a placeH4725 for the arkH727 of GodH430, and pitchedH5186 for it a tentH168.
Then DavidH1732 saidH559, None ought to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 but the LevitesH3881: for them hath the LORDH3068 chosenH977 to carryH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430, and to ministerH8334 unto him forH5704 everH5769. {None…: Heb. It is not to carry the ark of God, but for the Levites}
And DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950 to JerusalemH3389, to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 unto his placeH4725, which he had preparedH3559 for it.
And DavidH1732 assembledH622 the childrenH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881:
Of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955; UrielH222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242: {brethren: or, kinsmen}
Of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847; AsaiahH6222 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242:
Of the sonsH1121 of GershomH1647; JoelH3100 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and thirtyH7970:
Of the sonsH1121 of ElizaphanH469; ShemaiahH8098 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 two hundredH3967:
Of the sonsH1121 of HebronH2275; ElielH447 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 fourscoreH8084:
Of the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816; AmminadabH5992 the chiefH8269, and his brethrenH251 an hundredH3967 and twelveH8147+H6240.
And DavidH1732 calledH7121 for ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, and for the LevitesH3881, for UrielH222, AsaiahH6222, and JoelH3100, ShemaiahH8098, and ElielH447, and AmminadabH5992,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.
For because ye did it not at the firstH7223, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 made a breachH6555 upon us, for that we soughtH1875 him not after the due orderH4941.
So the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 sanctifiedH6942 themselves to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of the LevitesH3881 bareH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 upon their shouldersH3802 with the stavesH4133 thereon, as MosesH4872 commandedH6680 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881 to appointH5975 their brethrenH251 to be the singersH7891 with instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and cymbalsH4700, soundingH8085, by lifting upH7311 the voiceH6963 with joyH8057.
So the LevitesH3881 appointedH5975 HemanH1968 the sonH1121 of JoelH3100; and of his brethrenH251, AsaphH623 the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296; and of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847 their brethrenH251, EthanH387 the sonH1121 of KushaiahH6984;
And with them their brethrenH251 of the secondH4932 degree, ZechariahH2148, BenH1122, and JaazielH3268, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and MaaseiahH4641, and MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehH466, and MikneiahH4737, and ObededomH5654, and JeielH3273, the portersH7778.
So the singersH7891, HemanH1968, AsaphH623, and EthanH387, were appointed to soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700 of brassH5178;
And ZechariahH2148, and AzielH5815, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and UnniH6042, and EliabH446, and MaaseiahH4641, and BenaiahH1141, with psalteriesH5035 on AlamothH5961;
And MattithiahH4993, and EliphelehH466, and MikneiahH4737, and ObededomH5654, and JeielH3273, and AzaziahH5812, with harpsH3658 on the SheminithH8067 to excelH5329. {on the…: or, on the eighth to oversee}
And ChenaniahH3663, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, was for songH4853: he instructedH3256 about the songH4853, because he was skilfulH995. {was for…: or, was for the carriage: he instructed about the carriage} {song: Heb. lifting up}
And BerechiahH1296 and ElkanahH511 were doorkeepersH7778 for the arkH727.
And ShebaniahH7645, and JehoshaphatH3146, and NethaneelH5417, and AmasaiH6022, and ZechariahH2148, and BenaiahH1141, and EliezerH461, the priestsH3548, did blowH2690+H2690 with the trumpetsH2689 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of GodH430: and ObededomH5654 and JehiahH3174 were doorkeepersH7778 for the arkH727.
So DavidH1732, and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and the captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, wentH1980 to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 with joyH8057.
And it came to pass, when GodH430 helpedH5826 the LevitesH3881 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, that they offeredH2076 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352.
And DavidH1732 was clothedH3736 with a robeH4598 of fine linenH948, and all the LevitesH3881 that bareH5375 the arkH727, and the singersH7891, and ChenaniahH3663 the masterH8269 of the songH4853 with the singersH7891: DavidH1732 also had upon him an ephodH646 of linenH906. {song: or, carriage}
Thus all IsraelH3478 brought upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with shoutingH8643, and with soundH6963 of the cornetH7782, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cymbalsH4700, making a noiseH8085 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658.
And it came to pass, as the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that MichalH4324 the daughterH1323 of SaulH7586 looking outH8259 at a windowH2474 sawH7200 kingH4428 DavidH1732 dancingH7540 and playingH7832: and she despisedH959 him in her heartH3820.

Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And saidH559 unto them, Ye are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.
And DavidH1732 was clothedH3736 with a robeH4598 of fine linenH948, and all the LevitesH3881 that bareH5375 the arkH727, and the singersH7891, and ChenaniahH3663 the masterH8269 of the songH4853 with the singersH7891: DavidH1732 also had upon him an ephodH646 of linenH906. {song: or, carriage}
It came even to pass, as the trumpetersH2690+H2690 and singersH7891 were as oneH259, to make oneH259 soundH6963 to be heardH8085 in praisingH1984 and thankingH3034 the LORDH3068; and when they lifted upH7311 their voiceH6963 with the trumpetsH2689 and cymbalsH4700 and instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: that then the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with a cloudH6051, even the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068;
Also we certifyH3046 you, that touching anyH3606 of the priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, singersH2171, portersH8652, NethinimsH5412, or ministersH6399 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426, it shall notH3809 be lawfulH7990 to imposeH7412 tollH4061, tributeH1093, or customH1983, uponH5922 them.
And thouH607, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426, that is in thine handH3028, setH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782, which may judgeH1934+H1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972 that are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, allH3606 such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teachH3046 ye them that knowH3046 them notH3809.
And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH1934+H5648 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613. {to banishment: Chaldee, to rooting out}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, which hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king'sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389:
And hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto me beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and before all the king'sH4428 mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388 as the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430 was upon me, and I gathered togetherH6908 out of IsraelH3478 chief menH7218 to go upH5927 with me.
AndG1161 when they had ordainedG5500 themG846 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 churchG1577, and had prayedG4336 withG3326 fastingG3521, they commendedG3908 themG846 to the LordG2962, onG1519 whomG3739 they believedG4100.
Thus all IsraelH3478 brought upH5927 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with shoutingH8643, and with soundH6963 of the cornetH7782, and with trumpetsH2689, and with cymbalsH4700, making a noiseH8085 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658.
And when the buildersH1129 laid the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, they setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847 with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 with cymbalsH4700, to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, after the ordinanceH3027 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And kingsH4428 shall be thy nursing fathersH539, and their queensH8282 thy nursing mothersH3243: they shall bow downH7812 to thee with their faceH639 toward the earthH776, and lick upH3897 the dustH6083 of thy feetH7272; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068: for they shall not be ashamedH954 that waitH6960 for me. {nursing fathers: Heb. nourishers} {queens: Heb. princesses}
This is a trueG4103 sayingG3056, If a manG1536 desireG3713 the office of a bishopG1984, he desirethG1937 a goodG2570 workG2041.
A bishopG1985 thenG3767 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG423, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, vigilantG3524, soberG4998, of good behaviourG2887, given to hospitalityG5382, apt to teachG1317; {of good…: or, modest}
NotG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146; butG235 patientG1933, not a brawlerG269, not covetousG866; {given…: or, ready to quarrel, and offer wrong, as one in wine}
One that rulethG4291 wellG2573 his ownG2398 houseG3624, havingG2192 his childrenG5043 inG1722 subjectionG5292 withG3326 allG3956 gravityG4587;
(ForG1161 if a manG1536 knowG1492 notG3756 howG1492 to ruleG4291 his ownG2398 houseG3624, howG4459 shall he take care ofG1959 the churchG1577 of GodG2316?)
NotG3361 a noviceG3504, lestG3363 being lifted up with prideG5187 he fallG1706 intoG1519 the condemnationG2917 of the devilG1228. {a novice: or, one newly come to the faith}
MoreoverG1161+G2532 heG846 mustG1163 haveG2192 a goodG2570 reportG3141 ofG575 them which are withoutG1855; lestG3363 he fallG1706 intoG1519 reproachG3680 andG2532 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228.
LikewiseG5615 must the deaconsG1249 be graveG4586, notG3361 doubletonguedG1351, notG3361 givenG4337 to muchG4183 wineG3631, notG3361 greedy of filthy lucreG146;
HoldingG2192 the mysteryG3466 of the faithG4102 inG1722 a pureG2513 conscienceG4893.
AndG1161 letG1381 theseG3778 alsoG2532 firstG4412 be provedG1381; thenG1534 let them use the office of a deaconG1247, beingG5607 found blamelessG410.
Even soG5615 must their wivesG1135 be graveG4586, notG3361 slanderersG1228, soberG3524, faithfulG4103 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
LetG2077 the deaconsG1249 beG2077 the husbandsG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, rulingG4291 their childrenG5043 andG2532 their ownG2398 housesG3624 wellG2573.
ForG1063 they that have used the office of a deaconG1247 wellG2573 purchaseG4046 to themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 degreeG898, andG2532 greatG4183 boldnessG3954 inG1722 the faithG4102 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. {used…: or, ministered}
These thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto theeG4671, hopingG1679 to comeG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571 shortlyG5032:
ButG1161 ifG1437 I tarry longG1019, thatG2443 thou mayest knowG1492 howG4459 thou oughtestG1163 to behave thyselfG390 inG1722 the houseG3624 of GodG2316, whichG3748 isG2076 the churchG1577 of the livingG2198 GodG2316, the pillarG4769 andG2532 groundG1477 of the truthG225. {ground: or, stay}
And these are they whom DavidH1732 setH5975 over the serviceH3027 of songH7892 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, after that the arkH727 had restH4494.
And they ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 the dwellingH4908 place of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 with singingH7892, until SolomonH8010 had builtH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389: and then they waitedH5975 on their officeH5656 according to their orderH4941.
And these are they that waitedH5975 with their childrenH1121. Of the sonsH1121 of the KohathitesH6956: HemanH1968 a singerH7891, the sonH1121 of JoelH3100, the sonH1121 of ShemuelH8050, {waited: Heb. stood}
The sonH1121 of ElkanahH511, the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395, the sonH1121 of ElielH447, the sonH1121 of ToahH8430,
The sonH1121 of ZuphH6689, the sonH1121 of ElkanahH511, the sonH1121 of MahathH4287, the sonH1121 of AmasaiH6022,
The sonH1121 of ElkanahH511, the sonH1121 of JoelH3100, the sonH1121 of AzariahH5838, the sonH1121 of ZephaniahH6846,
The sonH1121 of TahathH8480, the sonH1121 of AssirH617, the sonH1121 of EbiasaphH43, the sonH1121 of KorahH7141,
The sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And they sang together by courseH6030 in praisingH1984 and giving thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; because he is goodH2896, for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769 toward IsraelH3478. And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, when they praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, because the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was laidH3245.
AndG2532 the thingsG3739 that thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG5023 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG2071 ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. {among: or, by}
And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 playedH7832 beforeH6440 GodH430 with all their mightH5797, and with singingH7892, and with harpsH3658, and with psalteriesH5035, and with timbrelsH8596, and with cymbalsH4700, and with trumpetsH2689. {singing: Heb. songs}
Also that dayH3117 they offeredH2076 greatH1419 sacrificesH2077, and rejoicedH8055: for GodH430 had made them rejoiceH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057: the wivesH802 also and the childrenH3206 rejoicedH8055: so that the joyH8057 of JerusalemH3389 was heardH8085 even afar offH7350.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
And with them HemanH1968 and JeduthunH3038 with trumpetsH2689 and cymbalsH4700 for those that should make a soundH8085, and with musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 of GodH430. And the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038 were portersH8179. {porters: Heb. for the gate}
To the chief MusicianH5329 upon GittithH1665, A Psalm of AsaphH623. Sing aloudH7442 unto GodH430 our strengthH5797: make a joyful noiseH7321 unto the GodH430 of JacobH3290. {of Asaph: or, for Asaph}
Moreover fourH702 thousandH505 were portersH7778; and fourH702 thousandH505 praisedH1984 the LORDH3068 with the instrumentsH3627 which I madeH6213, said David, to praiseH1984 therewith.
A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 for the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. It is a goodH2896 thing to give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068, and to sing praisesH2167 unto thy nameH8034, O most HighH5945:
To shew forthH5046 thy lovingkindnessH2617 in the morningH1242, and thy faithfulnessH530 every nightH3915, {every…: Heb. in the nights}
Upon an instrument of ten stringsH6218, and upon the psalteryH5035; upon the harpH3658 with a solemn soundH1902. {the harp…: or, the solemn sound with the harp} {a solemn…: Heb. Higgaion}
Moreover DavidH1732 and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635 separatedH914 to the serviceH5656 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, and of HemanH1968, and of JeduthunH3038, who should prophesyH5012+H5030 with harpsH3658, with psalteriesH5035, and with cymbalsH4700: and the numberH4557 of the workmenH582+H4399 according to their serviceH5656 was:
Of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623; ZaccurH2139, and JosephH3130, and NethaniahH5418, and AsarelahH841, the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 under the handsH3027 of AsaphH623, which prophesiedH5012 according to the orderH3027 of the kingH4428. {Asarelah: otherwise called Jesharelah} {according…: Heb. by the hands of the king}
Of JeduthunH3038: the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038; GedaliahH1436, and ZeriH6874, and JeshaiahH3470, HashabiahH2811, and MattithiahH4993, sixH8337, under the handsH3027 of their fatherH1 JeduthunH3038, who prophesiedH5012 with a harpH3658, to give thanksH3034 and to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068. {Zeri: or, Izri}
Of HemanH1968: the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968; BukkiahH1232, MattaniahH4983, UzzielH5816, ShebuelH7619, and JerimothH3406, HananiahH2608, HananiH2607, EliathahH448, GiddaltiH1437, and RomamtiezerH7320, JoshbekashahH3436, MallothiH4413, HothirH1956, and MahaziothH4238: {Uzziel: also called, Azareel, ver.18.} {Shebuel: also called, Shubael, ver.20.}
All these were the sonsH1121 of HemanH1968 the king'sH4428 seerH2374 in the wordsH1697 of GodH430, to lift upH7311 the hornH7161. And GodH430 gaveH5414 to HemanH1968 fourteenH702+H6240 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323. {words: or, matters}
All these were under the handsH3027 of their fatherH1 for songH7892 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, with cymbalsH4700, psalteriesH5035, and harpsH3658, for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, according to the king'sH4428 orderH3027 to AsaphH623, JeduthunH3038, and HemanH1968. {according…: Heb. by the hands of the king}
O comeH3212, let us singH7442 unto the LORDH3068: let us make a joyful noiseH7321 to the rockH6697 of our salvationH3468.
And all the congregationH6951 worshippedH7812, and the singersH7892 sangH7891, and the trumpetersH2689 soundedH2690+H2690: and all this continued until the burnt offeringH5930 was finishedH3615. {singers: Heb. song}
And when they had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927, the kingH4428 and all that were presentH4672 with him bowedH3766 themselves, and worshippedH7812. {present: Heb. found}
Moreover HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269 commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 to sing praiseH1984 unto the LORDH3068 with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732, and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. And they sang praisesH1984 with gladnessH8057, and they bowed their headsH6915 and worshippedH7812.

And his brethrenH251, ShemaiahH8098, and AzaraelH5832, MilalaiH4450, GilalaiH1562, MaaiH4597, NethaneelH5417, and JudahH3063, HananiH2607, with the musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430, and EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 beforeH6440 them.
The voiceH6963 of joyH8342, and the voiceH6963 of gladnessH8057, the voiceH6963 of the bridegroomH2860, and the voiceH6963 of the brideH3618, the voiceH6963 of them that shall sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: for the LORDH3068 is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: and of them that shall bringH935 the sacrifice of praiseH8426 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. For I will cause to returnH7725 the captivityH7622 of the landH776, as at the firstH7223, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
For in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 and AsaphH623 of oldH6924 there were chiefH7218 of the singersH7891, and songsH7892 of praiseH8416 and thanksgivingH3034 unto GodH430.
As well the singersH7891 as the playersH2490 on instruments shall be there: all my springsH4599 are in thee.
Let them praiseH1984 his nameH8034 in the danceH4234: let them sing praisesH2167 unto him with the timbrelH8596 and harpH3658. {in…: or, with the pipe}
