This is that BenaiahH1141, who was mightyH1368 among the thirtyH7970, and above the thirtyH7970: and in his courseH4256 was AmmizabadH5990 his sonH1121.

Furthermore over the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: the rulerH5057 of the ReubenitesH7206 was EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147: of the SimeonitesH8099, ShephatiahH8203 the sonH1121 of MaachahH4601:
Of the LevitesH3881, HashabiahH2811 the sonH1121 of KemuelH7055: of the AaronitesH175, ZadokH6659:

Of DanH1835, AzareelH5832 the sonH1121 of JerohamH3395. These were the princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
But DavidH1732 tookH5375 not the numberH4557 of them from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and underH4295: because the LORDH3068 had saidH559 he would increaseH7235 IsraelH3478 like to the starsH3556 of the heavensH8064.
JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 beganH2490 to numberH4487, but he finishedH3615 not, because there fell wrathH7110 for itH2063 against IsraelH3478; neither was the numberH4557 putH5927 in the accountH4557 of the chroniclesH1697+H3117 of kingH4428 DavidH1732. {was: Heb. ascended}
And over the king'sH4428 treasuresH214 was AzmavethH5820 the sonH1121 of AdielH5717: and over the storehousesH214 in the fieldsH7704, in the citiesH5892, and in the villagesH3723, and in the castlesH4026, was JehonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of UzziahH5818:
And over them that didH6213 the workH4399 of the fieldH7704 for tillageH5656 of the groundH127 was EzriH5836 the sonH1121 of ChelubH3620:
And over the vineyardsH3754 was ShimeiH8096 the RamathiteH7435: over the increase of the vineyardsH3754 for the wineH3196 cellarsH214 was ZabdiH2067 the ShiphmiteH8225: {over the increase…: Heb. over that which was of the vineyards}
And over the olive treesH2132 and the sycomore treesH8256 that were in the low plainsH8219 was BaalhananH1177 the GederiteH1451: and over the cellarsH214 of oilH8081 was JoashH3135:
And over the herdsH1241 that fedH7462 in SharonH8289 was ShitraiH7861 the SharoniteH8290: and over the herdsH1241 that were in the valleysH6010 was ShaphatH8202 the sonH1121 of AdlaiH5724:
Over the camelsH1581 also was ObilH179 the IshmaeliteH3459: and over the assesH860 was JehdeiahH3165 the MeronothiteH4824:
And over the flocksH6629 was JazizH3151 the HageriteH1905. All these were the rulersH8269 of the substanceH7399 which was kingH4428 David'sH1732.
Also JonathanH3083 David'sH1732 uncleH1730 was a counsellorH3289, a wiseH995 manH376, and a scribeH5608: and JehielH3171 the sonH1121 of HachmoniH2453 was with the king'sH4428 sonsH1121: {scribe: or, secretary} {son…: or, Hachmonite}
And AhithophelH302 was the king'sH4428 counsellorH3289: and HushaiH2365 the ArchiteH757 was the king'sH4428 companionH7453:
And afterH310 AhithophelH302 was JehoiadaH3077 the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, and AbiatharH54: and the generalH8269 of the king'sH4428 armyH6635 was JoabH3097.
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.
So they broughtH935 the arkH727 of GodH430, and setH3322 it in the midstH8432 of the tentH168 that DavidH1732 had pitchedH5186 for it: and they offeredH7126 burnt sacrificesH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 beforeH6440 GodH430.
And when DavidH1732 had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927 the burnt offeringsH5930 and the peace offeringsH8002, he blessedH1288 the peopleH5971 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And he dealtH2505 to every oneH376 of IsraelH3478, both manH376 and womanH802, to every oneH376 a loafH3603 of breadH3899, and a good piece of fleshH829, and a flagonH809 of wine.
And he appointedH5414 certain of the LevitesH3881 to ministerH8334 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and to recordH2142, and to thankH3034 and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478:
AsaphH623 the chiefH7218, and nextH4932 to him ZechariahH2148, JeielH3273, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and MattithiahH4993, and EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and ObededomH5654: and JeielH3273 with psalteriesH5035+H3627 and with harpsH3658; but AsaphH623 made a soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700; {with psalteries…: Heb. with instruments of psalteries and harps}
BenaiahH1141 also and JahazielH3166 the priestsH3548 with trumpetsH2689 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
Then on that dayH3117 DavidH1732 deliveredH5414 firstH7218 this psalm to thankH3034 the LORDH3068 into the handH3027 of AsaphH623 and his brethrenH251.
Give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068, callH7121 upon his nameH8034, make knownH3045 his deedsH5949 among the peopleH5971.
SingH7891 unto him, sing psalmsH2167 unto him, talkH7878 ye of all his wondrousH6381 works.
GloryH1984 ye in his holyH6944 nameH8034: let the heartH3820 of them rejoiceH8055 that seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
SeekH1875 the LORDH3068 and his strengthH5797, seekH1245 his faceH6440 continuallyH8548.
RememberH2142 his marvellousH6381 works that he hath doneH6213, his wondersH4159, and the judgmentsH4941 of his mouthH6310;
O ye seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 his servantH5650, ye childrenH1121 of JacobH3290, his chosen onesH972.
He is the LORDH3068 our GodH430; his judgmentsH4941 are in all the earthH776.
Be ye mindfulH2142 alwaysH5769 of his covenantH1285; the wordH1697 which he commandedH6680 to a thousandH505 generationsH1755;
Even of the covenant which he madeH3772 with AbrahamH85, and of his oathH7621 unto IsaacH3327;
And hath confirmedH5975 the same to JacobH3290 for a lawH2706, and to IsraelH3478 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285,
SayingH559, Unto thee will I giveH5414 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the lotH2256 of your inheritanceH5159; {the lot: Heb. the cord}
When ye were but fewH4557+H4962, even a fewH4592, and strangersH1481 in it. {few, even: Heb. men of number, etc}
And when they wentH1980 from nationH1471 to nationH1471, and from one kingdomH4467 to anotherH312 peopleH5971;
He sufferedH3240 no manH376 to do them wrongH6231: yea, he reprovedH3198 kingsH4428 for their sakes,
Saying, TouchH5060 not mine anointedH4899, and do my prophetsH5030 no harmH7489.
SingH7891 unto the LORDH3068, all the earthH776; shew forthH1319 from dayH3117 to dayH3117 his salvationH3444.
DeclareH5608 his gloryH3519 among the heathenH1471; his marvellous worksH6381 among all nationsH5971.
For greatH1419 is the LORDH3068, and greatlyH3966 to be praisedH1984: he also is to be fearedH3372 above all godsH430.
For all the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 are idolsH457: but the LORDH3068 madeH6213 the heavensH8064.
GloryH1935 and honourH1926 are in his presenceH6440; strengthH5797 and gladnessH2304 are in his placeH4725.
GiveH3051 unto the LORDH3068, ye kindredsH4940 of the peopleH5971, giveH3051 unto the LORDH3068 gloryH3519 and strengthH5797.
GiveH3051 unto the LORDH3068 the gloryH3519 due unto his nameH8034: bringH5375 an offeringH4503, and comeH935 beforeH6440 him: worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 in the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944.
FearH2342 beforeH6440 him, all the earthH776: the worldH8398 also shall be stableH3559, that it be not movedH4131.
Let the heavensH8064 be gladH8055, and let the earthH776 rejoiceH1523: and let men sayH559 among the nationsH1471, The LORDH3068 reignethH4427.
Let the seaH3220 roarH7481, and the fulnessH4393 thereof: let the fieldsH7704 rejoiceH5970, and all that is therein.
Then shall the treesH6086 of the woodH3293 sing outH7442 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, because he comethH935 to judgeH8199 the earthH776.
O give thanksH3034 unto the LORDH3068; for he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
And sayH559 ye, SaveH3467 us, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468, and gather us togetherH6908, and deliverH5337 us from the heathenH1471, that we may give thanksH3034 to thy holyH6944 nameH8034, and gloryH7623 in thy praiseH8416.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 for everH5769 and everH5769. And all the peopleH5971 saidH559, AmenH543, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068.
So he leftH5800 there beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 AsaphH623 and his brethrenH251, to ministerH8334 beforeH6440 the arkH727 continuallyH8548, as every day'sH3117 workH1697 requiredH3117:
And ObededomH5654 with their brethrenH251, threescoreH8346 and eightH8083; ObededomH5654 also the sonH1121 of JeduthunH3038 and HosahH2621 to be portersH7778:
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and his brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, beforeH6440 the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068 in the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391,
To offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 upon the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930 continuallyH8548 morningH1242 and eveningH6153, and to do according to all that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, which he commandedH6680 IsraelH3478; {morning…: Heb. in the morning, and in the evening}
And with them HemanH1968 and JeduthunH3038, and the restH7605 that were chosenH1305, who were expressedH5344 by nameH8034, to give thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068, because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769;
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}
And all the peopleH5971 departedH3212 every manH376 to his houseH1004: and DavidH1732 returnedH5437 to blessH1288 his houseH1004.
AndG2532 when they had sung an hymnG5214, they went outG1831 intoG1519 the mountG3735 of OlivesG1636. {hymn: or, psalm}
It came to pass after thisH310 also, that the childrenH1121 of MoabH4124, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and with them other beside the AmmonitesH5984, cameH935 against JehoshaphatH3092 to battleH4421.
Then there cameH935 some that toldH5046 JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, There comethH935 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995 against thee from beyondH5676 the seaH3220 on this side SyriaH758; and, behold, they be in HazazontamarH2688, which is EngediH5872.
And JehoshaphatH3092 fearedH3372, and setH5414 himselfH6440 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, and proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 throughoutH5921 all JudahH3063. {himself: Heb. his face}
And JudahH3063 gathered themselves togetherH6908, to askH1245 help of the LORDH3068: even out of all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 they cameH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068.
And JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 in the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the newH2319 courtH2691,
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, art not thou GodH430 in heavenH8064? and rulestH4910 not thou over all the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471? and in thine handH3027 is there not powerH3581 and mightH1369, so that none is able to withstandH3320 thee?
Art not thou our GodH430, who didst drive outH3423 the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776 beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and gavestH5414 it to the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85 thy friendH157 for everH5769? {who: Heb. thou}
And they dweltH3427 therein, and have builtH1129 thee a sanctuaryH4720 therein for thy nameH8034, sayingH559,
If, when evilH7451 comethH935 upon us, as the swordH2719, judgmentH8196, or pestilenceH1698, or famineH7458, we standH5975 beforeH6440 this houseH1004, and in thy presenceH6440, (for thy nameH8034 is in this houseH1004,) and cryH2199 unto thee in our afflictionH6869, then thou wilt hearH8085 and helpH3467.
And now, behold, the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 and mountH2022 SeirH8165, whom thou wouldest not letH5414 IsraelH3478 invadeH935, when they came outH935 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, but they turnedH5493 from them, and destroyedH8045 them not;
Behold, I say, how they rewardH1580 us, to comeH935 to cast us outH1644 of thy possessionH3425, which thou hast given us to inheritH3423.
O our GodH430, wilt thou not judgeH8199 them? for we have no mightH3581 againstH6440 this greatH7227 companyH1995 that comethH935 against us; neither knowH3045 weH587 what to doH6213: but our eyesH5869 are upon thee.
And all JudahH3063 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, withH1571 their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their childrenH1121.
Then upon JahazielH3166 the sonH1121 of ZechariahH2148, the sonH1121 of BenaiahH1141, the sonH1121 of JeielH3273, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, a LeviteH3881 of the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623, came the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951;
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
And JehoshaphatH3092 bowedH6915 his head with his faceH639 to the groundH776: and all JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 fellH5307 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, worshippingH7812 the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881, of the childrenH1121 of the KohathitesH6956, and of the childrenH1121 of the KorhitesH7145, stood upH6965 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963 on highH4605.
And they rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and went forthH3318 into the wildernessH4057 of TekoaH8620: and as they went forthH3318, JehoshaphatH3092 stoodH5975 and saidH559, HearH8085 me, O JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389; BelieveH539 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so shall ye be establishedH539; believeH539 his prophetsH5030, so shall ye prosperH6743.
And when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {that…: Heb. praisers}
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
For the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and MoabH4124 stood upH5975 against the inhabitantsH3427 of mountH2022 SeirH8165, utterly to slayH2763 and destroyH8045 them: and when they had made an endH3615 of the inhabitantsH3427 of SeirH8165, every oneH376 helpedH5826 to destroyH4889 anotherH7453. {to destroy: Heb. for the destruction}
And when JudahH3063 cameH935 toward the watch towerH4707+H4708 in the wildernessH4057, they lookedH6437 unto the multitudeH1995, and, behold, they were dead bodiesH6297 fallenH5307 to the earthH776, and none escapedH6413. {none…: Heb. there was not an escaping}
And when JehoshaphatH3092 and his peopleH5971 cameH935 to take awayH962 the spoilH7998 of them, they foundH4672 among them in abundanceH7230 both richesH7399 with the dead bodiesH6297, and preciousH2532 jewelsH3627, which they stripped offH5337 for themselves, more thanH369 they could carry awayH4853: and they were threeH7969 daysH3117 in gatheringH962 of the spoilH7998, it was so muchH7227.
And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 they assembledH6950 themselves in the valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294; for there they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068: therefore the nameH8034 of the same placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of BerachahH1294, unto this dayH3117. {Berachah: that is, blessing}
Then they returnedH7725, every manH376 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and JehoshaphatH3092 in the forefrontH7218 of them, to go againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 with joyH8057; for the LORDH3068 had made them to rejoiceH8055 over their enemiesH341. {forefront: Heb. head}
And they cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with psalteriesH5035 and harpsH3658 and trumpetsH2689 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And the fearH6343 of GodH430 was on all the kingdomsH4467 of those countriesH776, when they had heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 against the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478.
So the realmH4438 of JehoshaphatH3092 was quietH8252: for his GodH430 gave him restH5117 round aboutH5439.
And JehoshaphatH3092 reignedH4427 over JudahH3063: he was thirtyH7970 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was AzubahH5806 the daughterH1323 of ShilhiH7977.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of AsaH609 his fatherH1, and departedH5493 not from it, doingH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Howbeit the high placesH1116 were not taken awayH5493: for as yet the peopleH5971 had not preparedH3559 their heartsH3824 unto the GodH430 of their fathersH1.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JehoshaphatH3092, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607, who is mentionedH5927 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478. {book of Jehu: Heb. words, etc} {is mentioned: Heb. was made to ascend}
And afterH310 this did JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 joinH2266 himself with AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, who didH6213 very wickedlyH7561:
And he joinedH2266 himself with him to makeH6213 shipsH591 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659: and they madeH6213 the shipsH591 in EziongeberH6100.
Then EliezerH461 the sonH1121 of DodavahH1735 of MareshahH4762 prophesiedH5012 against JehoshaphatH3092, sayingH559, Because thou hast joinedH2266 thyself with AhaziahH274, the LORDH3068 hath brokenH6555 thy worksH4639. And the shipsH591 were brokenH7665, that they were not ableH6113 to goH3212 to TarshishH8659.
And whenH6256 they beganH2490 to singH7440 and to praiseH8416, the LORDH3068 setH5414 ambushmentsH693 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, MoabH4124, and mountH2022 SeirH8165, which were comeH935 against JudahH3063; and they were smittenH5062. {And when…: Heb. And in the time that they, etc} {to sing…: Heb. in singing and praise} {they were…: or, they smote one another}
AndG1161 atG2596 midnightG3317 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 prayedG4336, and sang praisesG5214 unto GodG2316: andG1161 the prisonersG1198 heardG1874 themG846.
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. The mightyH410 GodH430, even the LORDH3068, hath spokenH1696, and calledH7121 the earthH776 from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121 unto the going downH3996 thereof. {of…: or, for Asaph}
Out of ZionH6726, the perfectionH4359 of beautyH3308, GodH430 hath shinedH3313.
Our GodH430 shall comeH935, and shall not keep silenceH2790: a fireH784 shall devourH398 beforeH6440 him, and it shall be veryH3966 tempestuousH8175 round aboutH5439 him.
He shall callH7121 to the heavensH8064 from aboveH5920, and to the earthH776, that he may judgeH1777 his peopleH5971.
GatherH622 my saintsH2623 together unto me; those that have madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with me by sacrificeH2077.
And the heavensH8064 shall declareH5046 his righteousnessH6664: for GodH430 is judgeH8199 himself. SelahH5542.
HearH8085, O my peopleH5971, and I will speakH1696; O IsraelH3478, and I will testifyH5749 against thee: I am GodH430, even thy GodH430.
I will not reproveH3198 thee for thy sacrificesH2077 or thy burnt offeringsH5930, to have been continuallyH8548 before me.
I will takeH3947 no bullockH6499 out of thy houseH1004, nor he goatsH6260 out of thy foldsH4356.
For every beastH2416 of the forestH3293 is mine, and the cattleH929 upon a thousandH505 hillsH2042.
I knowH3045 all the fowlsH5775 of the mountainsH2022: and the wild beastsH2123 of the fieldH7704 are mineH5978. {mine: Heb. with me}
If I were hungryH7456, I would not tellH559 thee: for the worldH8398 is mine, and the fulnessH4393 thereof.
Will I eatH398 the fleshH1320 of bullsH47, or drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of goatsH6260?
OfferH2076 unto GodH430 thanksgivingH8426; and payH7999 thy vowsH5088 unto the most HighH5945:
And callH7121 upon me in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 me.
But unto the wickedH7563 GodH430 saithH559, What hast thou to do to declareH5608 my statutesH2706, or that thou shouldest takeH5375 my covenantH1285 in thy mouthH6310?
Seeing thou hatestH8130 instructionH4148, and castestH7993 my wordsH1697 behindH310 thee.
When thou sawestH7200 a thiefH1590, then thou consentedstH7521 with him, and hast been partakerH2506 with adulterersH5003. {hast…: Heb. thy portion was with}
Thou givestH7971 thy mouthH6310 to evilH7451, and thy tongueH3956 framethH6775 deceitH4820. {givest: Heb. sendest}
Thou sittestH3427 and speakestH1696 against thy brotherH251; thouH5414 slanderestH1848 thine own mother'sH517 sonH1121.
These things hast thou doneH6213, and I kept silenceH2790; thou thoughtestH1819 that I was altogetherH1961 such an one as thyself: but I will reproveH3198 thee, and set them in orderH6186 before thine eyesH5869.
Now considerH995 this, ye that forgetH7911 GodH433, lest I tear you in piecesH2963, and there be none to deliverH5337.
Whoso offerethH2076 praiseH8426 glorifiethH3513 me: and to him that orderethH7760 his conversationH1870 aright will I shewH7200 the salvationH3468 of GodH430. {that…: Heb. that disposeth his way}
A PsalmH4210 of AsaphH623. Truly GodH430 is goodH2896 to IsraelH3478, even to such as are of a cleanH1249 heartH3824. {of: or, for} {Truly: or, Yet} {of…: Heb. clean of heart}
But as for me, my feetH7272 were almostH4592 goneH5186+H5186; my stepsH838 had well nighH369 slippedH8210.
For I was enviousH7065 at the foolishH1984, when I sawH7200 the prosperityH7965 of the wickedH7563.
For there are no bandsH2784 in their deathH4194: but their strengthH193 is firmH1277. {firm: Heb. fat}
They are not in troubleH5999 as other menH582; neither are they plaguedH5060 likeH5973 other menH120. {in…: Heb. in the trouble of other men} {like: Heb. with}
Therefore prideH1346 compasseth them about as a chainH6059; violenceH2555 coverethH5848 them as a garmentH7897.
Their eyesH5869 stand outH3318 with fatnessH2459: they have moreH5674 than heartH3824 could wishH4906. {have…: Heb. pass the thoughts of the heart}
They are corruptH4167, and speakH1696 wickedlyH7451 concerning oppressionH6233: they speakH1696 loftilyH4791.
They setH8371 their mouthH6310 against the heavensH8064, and their tongueH3956 walkethH1980 through the earthH776.
Therefore his peopleH5971 returnH7725+H7725 hitherH1988: and watersH4325 of a fullH4392 cup are wrung outH4680 to them.
And they sayH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? and is thereH3426 knowledgeH1844 in the most HighH5945?
Behold, these are the ungodlyH7563, who prosperH7961 in the worldH5769; they increaseH7685 in richesH2428.
Verily I have cleansedH2135 my heartH3824 in vainH7385, and washedH7364 my handsH3709 in innocencyH5356.
For all the dayH3117 long have I been plaguedH5060, and chastenedH8433 every morningH1242. {chastened: Heb. my chastisement was}
If I sayH559, I will speakH5608 thusH3644; behold, I should offendH898 against the generationH1755 of thy childrenH1121.
When I thoughtH2803 to knowH3045 this, it was too painfulH5999 for meH5869; {too…: Heb. labour in mine eyes}
Until I wentH935 into the sanctuaryH4720 of GodH410; then understoodH995 I their endH319.
Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.
How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.
As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.
Thus my heartH3824 was grievedH2556, and I was prickedH8150 in my reinsH3629.
So foolishH1198 was I, and ignorantH3045: I was as a beastH929 before thee. {ignorant: Heb. I knew not} {before Heb. with}
Nevertheless I am continuallyH8548 with thee: thou hast holdenH270 me by my rightH3225 handH3027.
Thou shalt guideH5148 me with thy counselH6098, and afterwardH310 receiveH3947 me to gloryH3519.
Whom have I in heavenH8064 but thee? and there is none upon earthH776 that I desireH2654 beside thee.
My fleshH7607 and my heartH3824 failethH3615: but GodH430 is the strengthH6697 of my heartH3824, and my portionH2506 for everH5769. {strength: Heb. rock}
For, lo, they that are farH7369 from thee shall perishH6: thou hast destroyedH6789 all them that go a whoringH2181 from thee.
ButH589 it is goodH2896 for me to draw nearH7132 to GodH430: I have putH7896 my trustH4268 in the LordH136 GODH3069, that I may declareH5608 all thy worksH4399.
To the chief MusicianH5329, to JeduthunH3038, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. Truly my soulH5315 waitethH1747 upon GodH430: from him cometh my salvationH3444. {Truly: or, Only} {waiteth: Heb. is silent}
He only is my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444; he is my defenceH4869; I shall not be greatlyH7227 movedH4131. {defence: Heb. high place}
How long will ye imagine mischiefH2050 against a manH376? ye shall be slainH7523 all of you: as a bowingH5186 wallH7023 shall ye be, and as a totteringH1760 fenceH1447.
They only consultH3289 to cast him downH5080 from his excellencyH7613: they delightH7521 in liesH3577: they blessH1288 with their mouthH6310, but they curseH7043 inwardlyH7130. SelahH5542. {inwardly: Heb. in their inward parts}
My soulH5315, waitH1826 thou only upon GodH430; for my expectationH8615 is from him.
He only is my rockH6697 and my salvationH3444: he is my defenceH4869; I shall not be movedH4131.
In GodH430 is my salvationH3468 and my gloryH3519: the rockH6697 of my strengthH5797, and my refugeH4268, is in GodH430.
TrustH982 in him at all timesH6256; ye peopleH5971, pour outH8210 your heartH3824 beforeH6440 him: GodH430 is a refugeH4268 for us. SelahH5542.
Surely menH120+H1121 of low degree are vanityH1892, and menH376 of high degree are a lieH3577: to be laidH5927 in the balanceH3976, they are altogetherH3162 lighter than vanityH1892. {altogether: or, alike}
TrustH982 not in oppressionH6233, and become not vainH1891 in robberyH1498: if richesH2428 increaseH5107, setH7896 not your heartH3820 upon them.
GodH430 hath spokenH1696 onceH259; twiceH8147 have I heardH8085 thisH2098; that powerH5797 belongeth unto GodH430. {power: or, strength}
Also unto thee, O LordH136, belongeth mercyH2617: for thou renderestH7999 to every manH376 according to his workH4639.
ButG1161 he that prophesiethG4395 speakethG2980 unto menG444 to edificationG3619, andG2532 exhortationG3874, andG2532 comfortG3889.
SpeakingG2980 to yourselvesG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 andG2532 making melodyG5567 inG1722 yourG5216 heartG2588 to the LordG2962;
LetG1774 the wordG3056 of ChristG5547 dwellG1774 inG1722 youG5213 richlyG4146 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678; teachingG1321 andG2532 admonishingG3560 one anotherG1438 in psalmsG5568 andG2532 hymnsG5215 andG2532 spiritualG4152 songsG5603, singingG103 withG1722 graceG5485 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588 to the LordG2962.
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}
NotG3361 forsakingG1459 the assemblingG1997 of ourselvesG1438 togetherG1997, asG2531 the mannerG1485 of someG5100 is; butG235 exhortingG3870 one another: andG2532 so muchG5118 the moreG3123, asG3745 ye seeG991 the dayG2250 approachingG1448.
GodG2316 is a SpiritG4151: andG2532 they that worshipG4352 himG846 mustG1163 worshipG4352 him inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225.
ByG1223 himG846 thereforeG3767 let us offerG399 the sacrificeG2378 of praiseG133 to GodG2316 continuallyG1275, that isG5123, the fruitG2590 of our lipsG5491 giving thanksG3670 to hisG846 nameG3686. {giving…: Gr. confessing to}
ButG1161 to do goodG2140 andG2532 to communicateG2842 forgetG1950 notG3361: forG1063 with suchG5108 sacrificesG2378 GodG2316 is well pleasedG2100.
ObeyG3982 them that have the ruleG2233 over youG5216, andG2532 submit yourselvesG5226: forG1063 theyG846 watchG69 forG5228 yourG5216 soulsG5590, asG5613 they that must giveG591 accountG3056, thatG2443 they may doG4160 itG5124 withG3326 joyG5479, andG2532 notG3361 with griefG4727: forG1063 thatG5124 is unprofitableG255 for youG5213. {have…: or, guide}
These likewise castH5307 lotsH1486 over againstH5980 their brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 in the presenceH6440 of DavidH1732 the kingH4428, and ZadokH6659, and AhimelechH288, and the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881, even the principalH7218 fathersH1 over againstH5980 their youngerH6996 brethrenH251.
AndG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, Hearest thouG191 whatG5101 theseG3778 sayG3004? AndG1161 JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, YeaG3483; have ye neverG3763 readG314+G3754, Out ofG1537 the mouthG4750 of babesG3516 andG2532 sucklingsG2337 thou hast perfectedG2675 praiseG136?
Then sangH7891 MosesH4872 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 this songH7892 unto the LORDH3068, and spakeH559, sayingH559, I will singH7891 unto the LORDH3068, for he hath triumphedH1342 gloriouslyH1342: the horseH5483 and his riderH7392 hath he thrownH7411 into the seaH3220.
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}
So the numberH4557 of them, with their brethrenH251 that were instructedH3925 in the songsH7892 of the LORDH3068, even all that were cunningH995, was two hundredH3967 fourscoreH8084 and eightH8083.
And they castH5307 lotsH1486, wardH4931 againstH5980 ward, as well the smallH6996 as the greatH1419, the teacherH995 as the scholarH8527.

And HezekiahH2396 commandedH559 to offerH5927 the burnt offeringH5930 upon the altarH4196. And whenH6256 the burnt offeringH5930 beganH2490, the songH7892 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490 also with the trumpetsH2689, and with the instrumentsH3627 ordained byH3027 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. {when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}
How shall we singH7891 the LORD'SH3068 songH7892 in a strangeH5236 landH127? {strange…: Heb. land of a stranger?}
