13:1And David took counsel with the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, with every leader. Compare
13:2And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If it seems good to you, and it is from Jehovah our God, let us send far and wide to our brothers who remain in all the land of Israel and to the priests and the Levites who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, that they may gather themselves to us. Compare
13:3And let us bring back the Ark of our God to ourselves, for we did not inquire of it in the days of Saul. Compare
13:4And all the congregation said that they would do so, for the matter was right in the sight of all the people. Compare
13:5And David gathered all Israel together from the Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath to bring the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. Compare
13:6And David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which is Judah's, to bring up from there the Ark of God, of Jehovah, who sits enthroned between the cherubim, which is called by the Name; Compare
13:7And they set the Ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio drove the cart. Compare
13:8And David and all Israel played before God with all their strength, even with songs and with lyres and with harps and with tambourines and with cymbals and with trumpets. Compare
13:9And when they came to Chidon's threshing floor, Uzzah stretched out his hand to take hold of the Ark; for the oxen had stumbled. Compare
13:10And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah, and He struck him because he stretched out his hand to the Ark; and he died there before God. Compare
13:11And David was angry because Jehovah had broken forth with an outburst upon Uzzah, and he called that place Perez-uzzah, as it is to this day. Compare
13:12And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the Ark of God to myself? Compare
13:13So David did not remove the Ark to himself to the city of David, but he carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. Compare
13:14And the Ark of God remained with the house of Obed-edom in his house three months, and Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that he had. Compare
14:1And Hiram the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, as well as cedar timbers and masons and carpenters to build a house for him. Compare
14:2And David perceived that Jehovah had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel. Compare

14:8Now when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up in search of David; and David heard of it and went out against them. Compare
14:9And the Philistines came and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim. Compare
14:10Then David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hand. Compare
14:11And they went up to Baal-perazim, and David struck them there. And David said, God has broken forth upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of a flood. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim. Compare
14:12And they left their gods there; and David gave the order, and they were burned with fire. Compare
14:13And the Philistines made yet another raid in the valley. Compare
14:14And David inquired again of God, and God said to him, You shall not go up after them; go around behind them, and come upon them opposite the balsam trees. Compare
14:15And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before you to strike the army of the Philistines. Compare
14:16And David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gezer. Compare
14:17And David's fame went forth among all the lands, and Jehovah put the fear of him upon all the nations. Compare
15:1And David made houses for himself in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the Ark of God and pitched a tent for it. Compare
15:2Then David said, None should bear the Ark of God except the Levites, for Jehovah has chosen them to bear the Ark of Jehovah and to minister to Him forever. Compare
15:3So David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem in order to bring up the Ark of Jehovah to its place, which he had prepared for it. Compare
15:4And David gathered the sons of Aaron and the Levites: Compare
15:5Of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the leader, and his brothers, one hundred twenty; Compare

15:9Of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the leader, and his brothers, eighty; Compare
15:10Of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the leader, and his brothers, one hundred twelve. Compare
15:11And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests and the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah and Joel, Shemaiah and Eliel and Amminadab; Compare
15:12And he said to them, You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brothers, and bring up the Ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it. Compare
15:13For because you did not bring it up the first time, Jehovah our God broke forth upon us; for we did not seek Him according to the ordinance. Compare
15:14So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves in order to bring up the Ark of Jehovah the God of Israel. Compare
15:15And the sons of the Levites bore the Ark of God as Moses had commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, upon their shoulders with the poles upon them. Compare
15:16And David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with musical instruments-harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals-to raise sounds of joy. Compare
15:17So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah; Compare
15:18And with them their brothers of the second order: Zechariah, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Unni, Eliab and Benaiah and Maaseiah and Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom and Jeiel, the doorkeepers. Compare

15:22And Chenaniah, the leader of the Levites, was over the song; he instructed about the song, because he was skillful. Compare
15:23And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the Ark. Compare
15:24And Shebaniah and Joshaphat and Nethanel and Amasai and Zechariah and Benaiah and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before the Ark of God; and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the Ark. Compare
15:25So David and the elders of Israel and the captains of thousands went to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-edom with rejoicing. Compare
15:26And because God helped the Levites who bore the Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams. Compare
15:27And David was clothed with a fine linen robe, as were all the Levites who bore the Ark and the singers and Chenaniah, the song leader of the singers; and David had on a linen ephod. Compare
15:28So all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah with shouting and with the sound of the horn and with trumpets and with cymbals, sounding aloud with harps and lyres. Compare
15:29And when the Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah came to the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked down through a window and saw King David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart. Compare

16:2And when David finished offering up the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah. Compare
16:3And he apportioned to everyone of Israel, to both men and women, to each one, a cake of bread and a portion of meat and a cake of raisins. Compare
16:4And he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the Ark of Jehovah and to commemorate and thank and praise Jehovah the God of Israel: Compare

16:6And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the Ark of the Covenant of God. Compare
16:7On that day, at that time, David first ordained the giving of thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brothers. Compare

16:23Sing to Jehovah all the earth; / Proclaim His salvation from day to day. Compare
16:24Declare His glory among the nations, / His wondrous deeds among all the peoples. Compare
16:25For Jehovah is great and much to be praised, / And He is to be feared above all gods. Compare
16:26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, / But Jehovah made the heavens. Compare
16:27Majesty and splendor are before Him; / Strength and gladness are in His place. Compare
