for [they] of Ham [hot] had dwelt there of old.41And these written by name came in the days of Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and struck their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because [there was] pasture there for their flocks.42And [some] of them, [even] of the sons of Shim’on [he who hears], five hundred men, went to mount Se’ir [Shaggy], having for their captains P’latyahu [Yehovah delivers], and Ne’aryah [servant of Yehovah], and Refayah [healed of Yehovah], and Uzziel [My Strength is God], the sons of Yish’i [He saves me].43And they struck the rest of the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] that were escaped, and dwelt there unto this day.1Now the sons of Re’uven [Behold a Son] the firstborn of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], (for he [was] the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] the son of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.2For Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] prevailed above his brethren, and of him [came] the chief ruler; but the birthright [was] Yosef [(God) He Shall Add]’s)3The sons, [I say], of Re’uven [Behold a Son] the firstborn of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [were], Hanokh [Dedicated], and Pallu [Distinguished], Hetzron [surrounded by a wall], and Karmi [Fruitful, Noble].4The sons of Yo’el [Yehovah is God];

because they put their trust in him.21And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.22For there fell down many slain, because the war [was] of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.23And the children of the half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan [Fruitful] unto Ba’al-Hermon [lord of distruction] and S’nir [snow mountain], and unto mount Hermon [A Sanctuary].24And these [were] the heads of the house of their fathers, even ‘Efer [a calf], and Yish’i [He saves me], and Eli’el [my God is God], and ‘Azri’el [my help is God], and Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed], and Hodavyah [praise you Yehovah], and Yachdi’el [my unity is God], mighty men of valour, famous men, [and] heads of the house of their fathers.25And they transgressed against the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] destroyed before them.26And the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] stirred up the spirit of Pul [distinguishing] king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem [name] (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and the spirit of Tigat-Piln’eser [you will uncover the wonderful bond] king of Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem [name] (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and he carried them away, even the Re’uveni [behold, a son!], and the Gadi [my fortune] [A Troop], and the half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], and brought them unto Halach [painful], and Havor [joining], and Hara [mountain land], and to the river Gozan [a cutting off], unto this day.1The sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner]; Gershon [Exile], K’hat [assembly, congregation], and M’rari [Bitter].2And the sons of K’hat [assembly, congregation]; ‘Amram [exalted people], Yitz’har [Shining Oil], and Hevron [Seat of Association], and Uzziel [My Strength is God].3And the children of ‘Amram [exalted people]; Aharon [Bright, Very High], and Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], and Miryam [rebellion].

These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David [beloved] and Sh’mu’el [His name is El] the seer did ordain in their set office.23So they and their children [had] the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [namely], the house of the tabernacle, by wards.24In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.25And their brethren, [which were] in their villages, [were] to come after seven days from time to time with them.26For these Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], the four chief porters, were in [their] set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].27And they lodged round about the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], because the charge [was] upon them, and the opening thereof every morning [pertained] to them.28And [certain] of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.29[Some] of them also [were] appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.30And [some] of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.31And Mattityah [gift of Yehovah], [one] of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], who [was] the firstborn of Shalum [retribution] the Korchi [one of frost, ice, hail, bald], had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.32And [other] of their brethren, of the sons of the K’hati, [were] over the showbread, to prepare [it] every Shabbat [Rest].33And these [are] the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], [who remaining] in the chambers [were] free: for they were employed in [that] work day and night.34These chief fathers of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] [were] chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].35And in Giv’on [Hill City] dwelt the father of Giv’on [Hill City], Jehiel, whose wife’s name [was] Ma’akhah [oppression]:36And his firstborn son Avdon [Servile], then Tzur [Rock], and Kish [bent], and Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and Ner [lamp], and Nadav [Generous],37And G’dor [Wall], and Achyo [brotherly or fraternal], and Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], and Miklot [rods (clubs)].38And Miklot [rods (clubs)] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Shim’am [their fame]. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], over against their brethren.39And Ner [lamp] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Kish [bent]; and Kish [bent] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Sha’ul [desired]; and Sha’ul [desired] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given], and Malkishua [my king is wealth], and Avinadav [my father is noble], and Eshba’al [a man of lord].40And the son of Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] [was] M’riv-Ba’al [lord is my advocate]: and M’riv-Ba’al [lord is my advocate] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?].41And the sons of Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?] [were], Piton [harmless], and Melekh [king], and Tahrea, [and Achaz [he has grasped]].42And Achaz [he has grasped] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Jarah; and Jarah begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) ‘Alemet [covering], and ‘Azmavet [strong unto death], and Zimri [My Music]; and Zimri [My Music] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Motza [fountain];43And Motza [fountain] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Bin’a [fountain]; and Refayah [healed of Yehovah] his son, El’asah [God has made] his son, Atzel [he has reserved] his son.44And Atzel [he has reserved] had six sons, whose names [are] these, ‘Azrikam [help against the enemy], Bokhru [firstborn], and Yishma’el [God will hear], and Sh’aryah [valued by Yehovah], and ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah], and Hanan [he is merciful]: these [were] the sons of Atzel [he has reserved].1Now the P’lishtim [Immigrants] fought against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] fled from before the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and fell down slain in mount Gilboa [swollen heap].2And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] followed hard after Sha’ul [desired], and after his sons; and the P’lishtim [Immigrants] killed Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given], and Avinadav [my father is noble], and Malkishua [my king is wealth], the sons of Sha’ul [desired].3And the battle went sore against Sha’ul [desired], and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.4Then said Sha’ul [desired] to his armourbearer, Draw youri sword, and thrust me through with that; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Sha’ul [desired] took a sword, and fell upon it.5And when his armourbearer saw that Sha’ul [desired] was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.6So Sha’ul [desired] died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.7And when all the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] that [were] in the valley saw that they fled, and that Sha’ul [desired] and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came and dwelt in them.8And it came to pass on the morrow, when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came to strip the slain, that they found Sha’ul [desired] and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa [swollen heap].9And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.10And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.11And when all Yavesh-Gil’ad [Dry Hill of Testimony] heard all that the P’lishtim [Immigrants] had done to Sha’ul [desired],12They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Sha’ul [desired], and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yavesh [dry], and buried their bones under the oak in Yavesh [dry], and fasted seven days.13So Sha’ul [desired] died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [even] against the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which he kept not, and also for asking [counsel] of [one that had] a familiar spirit, to enquire [of it];14And enquired not of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom unto David [beloved] the son of Yishai [I possess].1Then all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] gathered themselves to David [beloved] unto Hevron [Seat of Association], saying, Behold, we [are] youi bone and youi flesh.2And moreover in time past, even when Sha’ul [desired] was king, youi [were] he that led out and brought in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said unto youi, youi shall feed my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and youi shall be ruler over my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].3Therefore came all the elders of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to the king to Hevron [Seat of Association]; and David [beloved] made a covenant with them in Hevron [Seat of Association] before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and they anointed David [beloved] king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], according to the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by Sh’mu’el [His name is El].4And David [beloved] and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], which [is] Y’vus [Threshing Place]; where the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] [were], the inhabitants of the land.5And the inhabitants of Y’vus [Threshing Place] said to David [beloved], youi shall not come here. Nevertheless David [beloved] took the castle of Tziyon [parched place], which [is] the city of David [beloved].6And David [beloved] said, Whosoever smites the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] first shall be chief and captain. So Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam] went first up, and was chief.7And David [beloved] dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David [beloved].8And he built the city round about, even from Millo [fortification (defensive structure) or mound] round about: and Yo’av [Yehovah is father] repaired the rest of the city.9So David [beloved] waxed greater and greater: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [was] with him.10These also [are] the chief of the mighty men whom David [beloved] had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, [and] with all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], to make him king, according to the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) concerning Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].11And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David [beloved] had; Yashov’am [the people will return], an Hakhmoni [wise], the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain [by him] at one time.12And after him [was] El’azar [God has helped] the son of Dodo [his beloved], the Achochi [God prevails], who [was one] of the three mighties.13He was with David [beloved] at Pas-Damim [boundary of blood], and there the P’lishtim [Immigrants] were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the P’lishtim [Immigrants].14And they set themselves in the midst of [that] parcel, and delivered it, and killed the P’lishtim [Immigrants]; and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) saved [them] by a great deliverance.15Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David [beloved], into the cave of ‘Adulam [Justice of the People]; and the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] encamped in the valley of Refa’im [giants].16And David [beloved] [was] then in the hold, and the P’lishtim [Immigrants]’ Garrison (fortification; military post) [was] then at Beit-Lechem [House of Bread].17And David [beloved] longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beit-Lechem [House of Bread], that [is] at the gate!18And the three broke through the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and drew water out of the well of Beit-Lechem [House of Bread], that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David [beloved]: but David [beloved] would not drink [of] it, but poured it out to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate),19And said, My God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.20And Avishai [my father is a gift] the brother of Yo’av [Yehovah is father], he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he killed [them], and had a name among the three.21Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.22B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the son of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows], the son of a valiant man of Kavtze’el [God Gathers], who had done many acts; he killed two lion-like men of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]: also he went down and killed a lion in a pit in a snowy day.23And he killed an Mitzri [Egyptian], a man of [great] stature, five cubits high; and in the Mitzri [Egyptian]’s hand [was] a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Mitzri [Egyptian]’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.24These [things] did B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the son of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows], and had the name among the three mighties.25Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the [first] three: and David [beloved] set him over his guard.26Also the valiant men of the armies [were], ‘Asah’el [God-made] the brother of Yo’av [Yehovah is father], Elchanan [God has been gracious] the son of Dodo [his beloved] of Beit-Lechem [House of Bread],27Shammah [desolations] the Harori [the mountaineer], Heletz [he has saved] the P’loni [a certain one],28‘Ira [watchful of a city] the son of ‘Ikesh [twisted] the T’koai [trumpet blast], Avi-ezer [My Father is Help] the ‘Anatoti’ [affliction],29Sibkhai [weaver] the Hushati [meaning unknown], ‘Ilai [exalted] the Achochi [God prevails],30Mahrai [impetuous] the N’tofati [dropping], Heled [transient] the son of Ba’anah [in affliction] the N’tofati [dropping],31Ittai [with me] the son of Rivai [pleader with Yehovah] of Giv’ah [Hill], [that pertained] to the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the Pir’atoni [Princely],32Hurai [linen-weaver] of the brooks of Ga’ash [Quaking], Avi’el [El (God) is my father] the ‘Arati [desert house],33‘Azmavet [strong unto death] the Bacharumi [choice of youths], Elyachba [God hides] the Sha’alvoni [place of foxes],34The sons of Hashem [fat] the Gizoni [shearer, or quarryman], Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] the son of Shageh [erring] the Harari [mountain dweller],35Achi’am [mother’s brother] the son of Sakhar [wages] the Harari [mountain dweller], Elifal [my God is supplication] the son of Ur [flame],36Hefer [A Well] the M’kherati [he of the dug-out], Achiyah [brother of Yehovah] the P’loni [a certain one],37Hetzro [enclosed] the Carmeli [garden-land], Na’arai [handmaid] the son of Ezbai [my humblings],38Yo’el [Yehovah is God] the brother of Natan [giver], Mivchar [choice] the son of Hagri [wanderer],39Tzelek [fissure] the ‘Amoni [tribal], Nachrai [snorter] the Be’eroti [my wells], the armourbearer of Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam],40‘Ira [watchful of a city] the Yitri [a remnant: excellence], Garev [scabby] the Yitri [a remnant: excellence],41Uriyah [Yehovah is my light (flame)] the Hitti [Terroists], Zavad [he endows] the son of Achlai [O! would that!],42Adina the son of Shiza [splendour] the Re’uveni [behold a son], a captain of the Re’uveni [behold, a son!], and thirty with him,43Hanan [he is merciful] the son of Ma’akhah [oppression], and Yoshafat [Yehovah judges] the Mitni [athlete],44‘Uziyah [strength of Yehovah] the ‘Asht’rati [star/Easter], Shama [obedient] and Jehiel the sons of Hotam [seal] the ‘Aro’eri [destitute],45Y’dia’el [God makes known] the son of Shimri [vigilant], and Yocha [Yehovah gives life] his brother, the Titzi [you shall go forth],46Eli’el [my God is God] the Machavim [propagators], and Yerivai [my contentions], and Yoshavyah [Yehovah makes equal], the sons of Elna’am [God is delight], and Yitmah [orphan] the Mo’avi [from father: what father?],47Eli’el [my God is God], and ‘Oved [serving], and Ya’asi’el [God is maker] the M’tzovayah [the one set up of Yah].1Now these [are] they that came to David [beloved] to Ziklag [Winding], while he yet kept himself close because of Sha’ul [desired] the son of Kish [bent]: and they [were] among the mighty men, helpers of the war.2[They were] armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in [hurling] stones and [shooting] arrows out of a bow, [even] of Sha’ul’s [desired] brethren of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength].3The chief [was] Achi’ezer [My Brother is Help], then Yo’ash [Given by the Lord], the sons of Sh’ma’ah [the rumour] the Giv’ati [hilliness]; and Y’zi’el [the assembly of God], and Pelet [deliverance], the sons of ‘Azmavet [strong unto death]; and B’rakhah [blessing], and Yehu [Yehovah is He] the ‘Anatoti’ [affliction],4And Yishma’yah [Yehovah will hear] the Giv’oni [little hill: hilly], a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed], and Yachazi’el [beheld of God], and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], and Yozavad [Yehovah has endowed] the G’derati [a wall],5El’uzai [God is my strength], and Yerimot [He is Most High], and B’alyah [Yehovah is master], and Sh’maryah [kept by Yehovah], and Sh’fatyah [Yehovah has judged] the Harufi [native of (meaning disputed)],6Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession], and Yishiyahu [Yehovah will lend], and ‘Azar’el [God has helped], and Yo’ezer [Yehovah is help], and Yashov’am [the people will return], the Korchi,7And Yo’elah [may he avail], and Z’vadyah [endowment of Yehovah], the sons of Yerocham [showing pity] of G’dor [Wall].8And of the Gadi [my fortune] [A Troop] there separated themselves unto David [beloved] into the hold to the wilderness men of might, [and] men of war [fit] for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler (round shielf held with a grip), whose faces [were like] the faces of lions, and [were] as swift as the roes upon the mountains;9‘Ezer [treasure] the first, ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] the second, ‘Eli’av [My Father is God] the third,10Mishmannah [fatness] the fourth, Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the fifth,11‘Atai [opportune] the sixth, Eli’el [my God is God] the seventh,12Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the eighth, Elzavad [God has given] the ninth,13Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the tenth, Makhbanai [bond of the Lord] the eleventh.14These [were] of the sons of Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort], captains of the host: one of the least [was] over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.15These [are] they that went over Yarden [Descender] in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, [both] toward the east, and toward the west.16And there came of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] to the hold unto David [beloved].17And David [beloved] went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If you2f be come peaceably unto me to help me, my heart shall be knit unto you: but if [you2f be come] to betray me to my enemies, seeing [there is] no wrong in my hands, the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of our fathers look [thereon], and rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) [it].18Then the spirit came upon ‘Amasai [burdensome], [who was] chief of the captains, [and he said], You1s [are we], David [beloved], and on youi side, youi son of Yishai [I possess]: peace, peace [be] unto youi, and peace [be] to youi helpers; for youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] helps youi. Then David [beloved] received them, and made them captains of the band.19And there fell [some] of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] to David [beloved], when he came with the P’lishtim [Immigrants] against Sha’ul [desired] to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to (to do entirely, do wholly) his master Sha’ul [desired] to [the jeopardy of] our heads.20As he went to Ziklag [Winding], there fell to him of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], ‘Adnach [pleasure], and Yozavad [Yehovah has endowed], and Y’dia’el [God makes known], and Mikha’el [Who is Like God?], and Yozavad [Yehovah has endowed], and Elihu [He is my God], and Tziltai [dark], captains of the thousands that [were] of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget].21And they helped David [beloved] against the band [of the rovers]: for they [were] all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.22For at [that] time day by day there came to David [beloved] to help him, until [it was] a great host, like the host of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].23And these [are] the of the bands [that were] ready armed to the war, [and] came to David [beloved] to Hevron [Seat of Association], to turn the kingdom of Sha’ul [desired] to him, according to the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).24The children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] that bore shield and spear [were] six thousand and eight hundred, ready armed to the war.25Of the children of Shim’on [he who hears], mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand and one hundred.26Of the children of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner] four thousand and six hundred.27And Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] [was] the leader of the Aharon [light bringer], and with him [were] three thousand and seven hundred;28And Tzadok [righteous], a young man mighty of valour, and of his father’s house twenty and two captains.29And of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], the family of Sha’ul [desired], three thousand: for up to this time the greatest part of them had kept the ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) of the house of Sha’ul [desired].30And of the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.31And of the half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] eighteen thousand, which were expressed by name, to come and make David [beloved] king.32And of the children of Yissakhar [There Is Recompense], [which were men] that had understanding of the times, to know what Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ought to do; the heads of them [were] two hundred; and all their brethren [were] at their commandment.33Of Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place], such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: [they were] not of double heart.34And of Naftali [My Wrestling] a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear thirty and seven thousand.35And of the Dani (Dan) [Judge] expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.36And of Asher [Happy], such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.37And on the other side of Yarden [Descender], of the Re’uveni [behold, a son!], and the Gadi [my fortune] [A Troop], and of the half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], with all manner of instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.38All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hevron [Seat of Association], to make David [beloved] king over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and all the rest also of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [were] of one heart to make David [beloved] king.39And there they were with David [beloved] three days, eating and drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.40Moreover they that were near them, [even] unto Yissakhar [There Is Recompense] and Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place] and Naftali [My Wrestling], brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, [and] meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for [there was] joy in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].1And David [beloved] consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, [and] with every leader.2And David [beloved] said unto all the congregation of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], If [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and with them [also] to the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] [which are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:3And let us bring again the ark of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Sha’ul [desired].4And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.5So David [beloved] gathered all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] together, from Shihor of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] even unto the entering of Hamat [fortress], to bring the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] from Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests].6And David [beloved] went up, and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], to Ba’alah [mistress], [that is], to Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests], which [belonged] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], to bring up there the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that dwells [between] the k’vurim (cherubim), whose name is called [on it].7And they carried the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in a new cart out of the house of Avinadav [my father is noble]: and ‘Uza [strength] and Achyo [brotherly or fraternal] drove the cart.8And David [beloved] and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] played before God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] with all [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.9And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Kidon [javelin], ‘Uza [strength] put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.10And the anger of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was kindled against ‘Uza [strength], and he struck him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].11And David [beloved] was displeased, because the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had made a breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) upon ‘Uza [strength]: wherefore that place is called Peretz-’Uza [breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) of Uzza] to this day.12And David [beloved] was afraid of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [home] to me?13So David [beloved] brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city of David [beloved], but carried it aside into the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] the Gitti [belonging to Gat (winepress)].14And the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] remained with the family of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] in his house three months. And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom], and all that he had.1Now Hiram [noble] king of Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] sent messengers to David [beloved], and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.2And David [beloved] perceived that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had confirmed him king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].3And David [beloved] took more wives at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and David [beloved] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) more sons and daughters.4Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he had in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; Shamua [Renowned], and Shovav [rebellious], Natan [giver], and Shlomo (Solomon) [peace],5And Yivchar [Yeshovah chooses], and Elishua [my God is wealth], and Elpalet [God is deliverance],6And Nogah [brightness], and Nefeg [Weak, Slacked], and Yafia [Shining],7And Elishama [My God has Heard], and Be’elyada [the lord knows], and Elifelet [God is deliverance].8And when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] heard that David [beloved] was anointed king over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], all the P’lishtim [Immigrants] went up to seek David [beloved]. And David [beloved] heard [of it], and went out against them.9And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came and spread themselves in the valley of Refa’im [giants].10And David [beloved] enquired of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], saying, Shall I go up against the P’lishtim [Immigrants]? and will youi deliver them into my hand? And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into youi hand.11So they came up to Ba’al-P’ratzim [lord of the breaks]; and David [beloved] struck them there. Then David [beloved] said, God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Ba’al-P’ratzim [lord of the breaks].12And when they had left their gods there, David [beloved] gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.13And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.14Therefore David [beloved] enquired again of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; and God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.15And it shall be, when youi shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, [that] then youi shall go out to battle: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] is gone forth before youi to strike the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].16David [beloved] therefore did as God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] commanded him: and they struck the host of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] from Giv’on [Hill City] even to Gezer [portion].17And the fame of David [beloved] went out into all lands; and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) brought the fear of him upon all nations.1And [David [beloved]] made him houses in the city of David [beloved], and prepared a place for the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and pitched for it a tent.2Then David [beloved] said, None ought to carry the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] but the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]: for them has the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) chosen to carry the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and to minister unto him forever.3And David [beloved] gathered all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] together to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], to bring up the ark of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto his place, which he had prepared for it.4And David [beloved] assembled the children of Aharon [Bright, Very High], and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]:5Of the sons of K’hat [assembly, congregation]; Uri’el [God is my light] the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:6Of the sons of M’rari [Bitter]; ‘Asayah [made by Yehovah] the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:7Of the sons of Gershom [Exiled One]; Yo’el [Yehovah is God] the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:8Of the sons of Elitzafan [My God has Protected]; Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the chief, and his brethren two hundred:9Of the sons of Hevron [Seat of Association]; Eli’el [my God is God] the chief, and his brethren eighty:10Of the sons of Uzziel [My Strength is God]; ‘Amminadav [family of the prince] the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.11And David [beloved] called for Tzadok [righteous] and Avyatar [my father is great] the priests, and for the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], for Uri’el [God is my light], ‘Asayah [made by Yehovah], and Yo’el [Yehovah is God], Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears], and Eli’el [my God is God], and ‘Amminadav [family of the prince],12And said unto them, You2f [are] the chief of the fathers of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]: sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) yourselves, [both] you2f and your brethren, that you2f may bring up the ark of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] unto [the place that] I have prepared for it.13For because you2f [did it] not at the first, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] made a breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.14So the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].15And the children of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] bore the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] upon their shoulders with the rods (clubs) thereon, as Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] commanded according to the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).16And David [beloved] spoke to the chief of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.17So the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] appointed Heiman [faithful] the son of Yo’el [Yehovah is God]; and of his brethren, Asaf [gatherer] the son of Berekhyah [Yehovah blesses]; and of the sons of M’rari [Bitter] their brethren, Eitan [enduring] the son of Kushayahu [bow of Yehovah];18And with them their brethren of the second [degree], Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], Ben [son], and Ya’azi’el [made bold by God], and Sh’miramot [name of heights], and Jehiel, and ‘Uni [afflicted], ‘Eli’av [My Father is God], and B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], and Ma’aseiyah [work of Yehovah], and Mattityah [gift of Yehovah], and Elif’lehu [my God sets him apart], and Mikneyahu [possession of Yehovah], and ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom], and Ye’i’el [God sweeps away], the porters.19So the singers, Heiman [faithful], Asaf [gatherer], and Eitan [enduring], [were appointed] to sound with cymbals of brass;20And Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], and ‘Azi’el [whom God comforts], and Sh’miramot [name of heights], and Jehiel, and ‘Uni [afflicted], and ‘Eli’av [My Father is God], and Ma’aseiyah [work of Yehovah], and B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], with psalteries on Alamoth;21And Mattityah [gift of Yehovah], and Elif’lehu [my God sets him apart], and Mikneyahu [possession of Yehovah], and ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom], and Ye’i’el [God sweeps away], and ‘Azazyahu [Yehovah is mighty], with harps on the Sh’minit [meaning disputed] to excel.22And K’nanyaho [Yehovah establishes], chief of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], [was] for song: he instructed about the song, because he [was] skilful.23And Berekhyah [Yehovah blesses] and Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession] [were] doorkeepers for the ark.24And Sh’vanyah [increased by Yehovah], and Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged], and N’tan’el [God’s Gift], and ‘Amasai [burdensome], and Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], and B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], and Eli’ezer [God is help], the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: and ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] and Yechiyah [Yehovah lives] [were] doorkeepers for the ark.25So David [beloved], and the elders of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) out of the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] with joy.26And it came to pass, when God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] helped the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.27And David [beloved] [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] that bore the ark, and the singers, and K’nanyaho [Yehovah establishes] the master of the song with the singers: David [beloved] also [had] upon him an ephod (vest) of linen.28Thus all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with shouting, and with sound of the cornet (a wind instrument; horn; trumpet), and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.29And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came to the city of David [beloved], that Mikhal [who is like God?] the daughter of Sha’ul [desired] looking out at a window saw king David [beloved] dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.1So they brought the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and set it in the midst of the tent that David [beloved] had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].2And when David [beloved] had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the people in the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).3And he dealt to every one of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and raisin cakes.4And he appointed [certain] of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] to minister before the ark of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]:5Asaf [gatherer] the chief, and next to him Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], Ye’i’el [God sweeps away], and Sh’miramot [name of heights], and Jehiel, and Mattityah [gift of Yehovah], and ‘Eli’av [My Father is God], and B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], and ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom]: and Ye’i’el [God sweeps away] with psalteries and with harps; but Asaf [gatherer] made a sound with cymbals;6B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] also and Yachazi’el [beheld of God] the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].7Then on that day David [beloved] delivered first [this Psalm (sacred song about or to God)] to thank the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) into the hand of Asaf [gatherer] and his brethren.8Give thanks unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.9Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk you2f of all his wondrous works.10Glory you2f in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).11Seek the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) and his strength, seek his face continually.12Remember his marvellous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;13O you2f seed of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] his servant, you2f children of Ya’akov [Heal of God], his chosen ones.14He [is] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; his judgments [are] in all the earth.15Be you2f mindful always of his covenant; the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations;16[Even of the covenant] which he made with Avraham [Exalted Father], and of his oath unto Yitz’khak [Laughter];17And has confirmed the same to Ya’akov [Heal of God] for a law, [and] to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [for] an everlasting covenant,18Saying, Unto youi will I give the land of Kena’an [Merchant], the lot of your inheritance;19When you2f were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.20And [when] they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people;21He suffered no man to do them wrong: yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,22[Saying], Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.23Sing unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.24Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.25For great [is] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and greatly to be praised: he also [is] to be feared above all gods.26For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) made the heavens.27Glory and honour [are] in his presence; strength and gladness [are] in his place.28Give unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), you2f kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) glory and strength.29Give unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) the glory [due] unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the beauty of holiness.30Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.31Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) reigns.32Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that [is] in it.33Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), because he comes to judge the earth.34O give thanks unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for [he is] good; for his mercy [endures] forever.35And say you2f, Save us, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to youi holy name, [and] glory in youi praise.36Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] forever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).37So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Asaf [gatherer] and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:38And ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] with their brethren, threescore and eight; ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] also the son of Y’dutun [praising] and Hosah [refuge] [to be] porters:39And Tzadok [righteous] the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the high place that [was] at Giv’on [Hill City],40To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and [to do] according to all that is written in the law of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which he commanded Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God];41And with them Heiman [faithful] and Y’dutun [praising], and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), because his mercy [endures] forever;42And with them Heiman [faithful] and Y’dutun [praising] with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. And the sons of Y’dutun [praising] [were] porters.43And all the people departed every man to his house: and David [beloved] returned to bless his house.1Now it came to pass, as David [beloved] sat in his house, that David [beloved] said to Natan [giver] the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [remains] under curtains.2Then Natan [giver] said unto David [beloved], Do all that [is] in youi heart; for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] with youi.3And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] came to Natan [giver], saying,4Go and tell David [beloved] my servant, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi shall not build me an house to dwell in:5For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].6Wheresoever I have walked with all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], spoke I a word to any of the of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have you2f not built me an house of cedars?7Now therefore thus shall youi say unto my servant David [beloved], Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], I took youi from the stable, [even] from following the sheep, that youi should be ruler over my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]:8And I have been with youi to wherever youi have walked, and have cut off all youi enemies from before youi, and have made youi a name like the name of the great men that [are] in the earth.9Also I will ordain a place for my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,10And since the time that I commanded [to be] over my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. Moreover I will subdue all youi enemies. Furthermore I tell youi that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will build youi an house.11And it shall come to pass, when youi days be expired that youi must go [to be] with youi fathers, that I will raise up youi seed after youi, which shall be of youi sons; and I will establish his kingdom.12He shall build me an house, and I will establish his throne forever.13I 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] that was before youi:14But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever: and his throne shall be established forevermore.15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Natan [giver] speak unto David [beloved].16And David [beloved] the king came and sat before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and said, Who [am] I, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and what [is] my house, that youi have brought me up to this time?17And [yet] this was a small thing in youi eyes, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; for youi have [also] spoken of youi servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].18What can David [beloved] [speak] more to youi for the honour of youi servant? for youi know youi servant.19O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), for youi servant’s sake, and according to youi own heart, have youi done all this greatness, in making known all [these] great things.20O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [there is] none like youi, neither [is there any] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] beside youi, according to all that we have heard with our ears.21And what one nation in the earth [is] like youi people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], whom God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make youi a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before youi people, whom youi have redeemed out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]?22For youri people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did youi make youri own people forever; and youi, LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), became their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].23Therefore now, LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), let the thing that youi have spoken concerning youri servant and concerning his house be established forever, and do as youi have said.24Let it even be established, that youri name may be magnified forever, saying, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] [is] the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], [even] a God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and [let] the house of David [beloved] youri servant [be] established before youi.25For youi, O my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], have told youri servant that youi will build him an house: therefore youri servant has found [in his heart] to pray before youi.26And now, LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), youi are God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and have promised this goodness unto youri servant:27Now therefore let it please youi to bless the house of youri servant, that it may be before youi forever: for youi bless, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and [it shall be] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) forever.1Now after this it came to pass, that David [beloved] struck the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and subdued them, and took Gat [Winepress] and her towns out of the hand of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].2And he struck Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; and the Mo’avi [of his father] became David’s [beloved]’s servants, [and] brought gifts.3And David [beloved] struck Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] king of Tzovah [station] unto Hamat [Fortress], as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates (to break forth, to gush).4And David [beloved] took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David [beloved] also hamstringed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them an hundred chariots.5And when the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] came to help Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] king of Tzovah [station], David [beloved] killed of the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] two and twenty thousand men.6Then David [beloved] put [garrisons] in Aram [exalted] in Dammesek; and the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] became David’s [beloved]’s servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) preserved David [beloved] to wherever he went.7And David [beloved] took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] [Hadad [mighty] is help], and brought them to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].8Likewise from Tivchat [extension], and from Chun, cities of Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] [Hadad [mighty] is help], brought David [beloved] very much brass, which Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.9Now when To’u [wander] king of Hamat [Fortress] heard how David [beloved] had smitten all the host of Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] king of Tzovah [station];10He sent Hadoram [noble honour] his son to king David [beloved], to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] [Hadad [mighty] is help], and smitten him; (for Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] had war with To’u [wander];) and [with him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.11Them also king David [beloved] dedicated unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), with the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations; from Edom [Red], and from Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and from the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and from the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and from ‘Amalek [Dweller in a Valley].12Moreover Avishai [my father is a gift] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam] killed of the Edomi [red] in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.13And he put garrisons in Edom [Red]; and all the Edomi [red] became David’s [beloved]’s servants. Thus the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) preserved David [beloved] to wherever he went.14So David [beloved] reigned over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and executed judgment and justice among all his people.15And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam] [was] over the host; and Y’hoshafat [Yehovah has judged] the son of Achilud [child’s brother], recorder.16And Tzadok [righteous] the son of Achituv [my brother is good], and Avi-Melekh [My Father is King] the son of Avyatar [my father is great], [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;17And B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the son of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] [was] over the K’reti [executioners] and the P’leti [couriers]; and the sons of David [beloved] [were] chief about the king.1Now it came to pass after this, that Nachash [serpent] the king of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] died, and his son reigned in his stead.2And David [beloved] said, I will show kindness unto Hanun [gracious] the son of Nachash [serpent], because his father showed kindness to me. And David [beloved] sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David [beloved] came into the land of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] to Hanun [gracious], to comfort him.3But the princes of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] said to Hanun [gracious], Think youi that David [beloved] does honour youi father, that he has sent comforters unto youi? are not his servants come unto youi for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?4For what reason Hanun [gracious] took David’s [beloved]’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst beside their buttocks, and sent them away.5Then there went [certain], and told David [beloved] how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Yericho [Its Moon] until your beards be grown, and [then] return.6And when the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] saw that they had made themselves odious to David [beloved], Hanun [gracious] and the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Aram [Elevated Between the Two Rivers] and out of Aram-Ma’akhah [exalted oppression], and out of Tzovah [station].7So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Ma’akhah [oppression] and his people; who came and pitched before Meidva [Water of Rest]. And the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.8And when David [beloved] heard [of it], he sent Yo’av [Yehovah is father], and all the host of the mighty men.9And the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] came out, and put the battle in array (to put on; to clothe) before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come [were] by themselves in the field.10Now when Yo’av [Yehovah is father] saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and put [them] in array (to put on; to clothe) against the Aram [exalted] [Syrians].11And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Avishai [my father is a gift] his brother, and they set [themselves] in array (to put on; to clothe) against the children of ‘Amon [Inbred].12And he said, If the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] be too strong for me, then youi shall help me: but if the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] be too strong for youi, then I will help youi.13Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: and let the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) do [that which is] good in his sight.14So Yo’av [Yehovah is father] and the people that [were] with him drew near before the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] unto the battle; and they fled before him.15And when the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] saw that the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] were fled, they likewise fled before Avishai [my father is a gift] his brother, and entered into the city. Then Yo’av [Yehovah is father] came to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].16And when the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] saw that they were put to the worse before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], they sent messengers, and drew forth the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] that [were] beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] [went] before them.17And it was told David [beloved]; and he gathered all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and passed over Yarden [Descender], and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array (to put on; to clothe) against them. So when David [beloved] had put the battle in array (to put on; to clothe) against the Aram [exalted] [Syrians], they fought with him.18But the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] fled before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and David [beloved] killed of the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] seven thousand [men which fought in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shofakh [expansion] the captain of the host.19And when the servants of Hadad’ezer [mighty helps] saw that they were put to the worse before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], they made peace with David [beloved], and became his servants: neither would the Aram [exalted] [Syrians] help the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] any more.1And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out [to battle], Yo’av [Yehovah is father] led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and came and besieged Rabbah [Great]. But David [beloved] tarried at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] struck Rabbah [Great], and destroyed it.2And David [beloved] took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent (weight of money; weight; gift) of gold, and [there were] precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s [beloved]’s head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil (plunder; prey; booty) out of the city.3And he brought out the people that [were] in it, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David [beloved] with all the cities of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred]. And David [beloved] and all the people returned to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].4And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer [Portion] with the P’lishtim [Immigrants]; at which time Sibkhai [weaver] the Hushati [meaning unknown] killed Sippai, [that was] of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.5And there was war again with the P’lishtim [Immigrants]; and Elchanan [God has been gracious] the son of Ya’ir [He Enlightens] killed Lachmi [my bread] the brother of Golyat [splendour] the Gitti [belonging to Gat (winepress)], whose spear staff [was] like a weaver’s beam.6And yet again there was war at Gat [Winepress], where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant.7But when he defied Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] the son of Shim’a [fame] David’s [beloved]’s brother killed him.8These were born unto the giant in Gat [Winepress]; and they fell by the hand of David [beloved], and by the hand of his servants.1And Satan stood up against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and provoked David [beloved] to number Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].2And David [beloved] said to Yo’av [Yehovah is father] and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] from Be’er-sheva [Well of the sevenfold Oath] even to Dan [Judge]; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know [it].3And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] answered, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) make his people an hundred times so many more as they [be]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all my lord’s servants? why then does my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?4Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Yo’av [Yehovah is father]. For what reason Yo’av [Yehovah is father] departed, and went throughout all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and came to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].5And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] gave the sum of the number of the people unto David [beloved]. And all [they of] Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] [was] four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.6But Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] counted he not among them: for the king’s word was abominable to Yo’av [Yehovah is father].7And God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was displeased with this thing; therefore he struck Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].8And David [beloved] said unto God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, do away the iniquity of youi servant; for I have done very foolishly.9And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort], David’s [beloved]’s seer, saying,10Go and tell David [beloved], saying, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), I offer youi three [things]: choose youi one of them, that I may do [it] unto youi.11So Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort] came to David [beloved], and said unto him, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), Choose youi12Either three years’ famine; or three months to be destroyed before youri foes, while that the sword of youri enemies overtake [youi]; or else three days the sword of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) destroying throughout all the coasts of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. Now therefore advise yourself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.13And David [beloved] said unto Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort], I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for very great [are] his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.14So the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sent pestilence upon Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and there fell of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] seventy thousand men.15And God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] sent an angel unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now youi hand. And the angel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan [light was perpetuated] the Y’vusi [Threshers].16And David [beloved] lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. Then David [beloved] and the elders [of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], who were] clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.17And David [beloved] said unto God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [Is it] not I [that] commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but [as for] these sheep, what have they done? let youi hand, I pray youi, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], be on me, and on my father’s house; but not on youi people, that they should be plagued.18Then the angel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort] to say to David [beloved], that David [beloved] should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the threshingfloor of Ornan [light was perpetuated] the Y’vusi [Threshers].19And David [beloved] went up at the saying of Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort], which he spoke in the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).20And Ornan [light was perpetuated] turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan [light was perpetuated] was threshing wheat.21And as David [beloved] came to Ornan [light was perpetuated], Ornan [light was perpetuated] looked and saw David [beloved], and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David [beloved] with [his] face to the ground.22Then David [beloved] said to Ornan [light was perpetuated], Grant me the place of [this] threshingfloor, that I may build an altar in it unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): youi shall grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be detained (held) from the people.23And Ornan [light was perpetuated] said unto David [beloved], Take [it] to youi, and let my lord the king do [that which is] good in his eyes: lo, I give [youi] the oxen [also] for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.24And king David [beloved] said to Ornan [light was perpetuated], No; but I will truly buy it for the full price: for I will not take [that] which [is] youi for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), nor offer burnt offerings without cost.25So David [beloved] gave to Ornan [light was perpetuated] for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.26And David [beloved] built there an altar unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.27And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.28At that time when David [beloved] saw that the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan [light was perpetuated] the Y’vusi [Threshers], then he sacrificed there.29For the tabernacle of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, [were] at that season in the high place at Giv’on [Hill City].30But David [beloved] could not go before it to enquire of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).1Then David [beloved] said, This [is] the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and this [is] the altar of the burnt offering for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].2And David [beloved] commanded to gather together the strangers that [were] in the land of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].3And David [beloved] prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;4Also cedar trees in abundance: for the people of Tzidon [Hunting] and they of Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] brought much cedar wood to David [beloved].5And David [beloved] said, Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] my son [is] young and tender, and the house [that is] to be built for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [must be] exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will [therefore] now make preparation for it. So David [beloved] prepared abundantly before his death.6Then he called for Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].7And David [beloved] said to Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]:8But the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came to me, saying, youi have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars: youi shall not build an house unto my name, because youi have shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.9Behold, a son shall be born to youi, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], and I will give peace and quietness unto Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in his days.10He shall build an 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 Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] forever.11Now, my son, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) be with youi; and prosper youi, and build the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], as he has said of youi.12Only the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) give youi wisdom and understanding, and give youi charge concerning Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that youi may keep the law of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].13Then shall youi prosper, if youi take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) charged Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] with concerning Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.14Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and youi may add thereto.15Moreover [there are] workmen with youi in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.16Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, [there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) be with youi.17David [beloved] also commanded all the princes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to help Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son, [saying],18[Is] not the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and before his people.19Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; arise therefore, and build you2f the sanctuary of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the holy vessels of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).1So when David [beloved] was old and full of days, he made Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].2And he gathered together all the princes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], with the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to].3Now the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.4Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to set forward the work of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and six thousand [were] officers and judges:5Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four thousand praised the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with the instruments which I made, [said David [beloved]], to praise [with that].6And David [beloved] divided them into courses among the sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner], [namely], Gershon [Exile], K’hat [assembly, congregation], and M’rari [Bitter].7Of the Gershuni [Exiled Ones] [were], La’dan [put in order], and Shime’i [Fame].8The sons of La’dan [put in order]; the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetam [olive], and Yo’el [Yehovah is God], three.9The sons of Shime’i [Fame]; Shlomit [Peaceful], and Hazi’el [vision of God], and Haran [mountaineer], three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of La’dan [put in order].10And the sons of Shime’i [Fame] [were], Yachat [He will snatch up], Zina [well-fed], and Ye’ush [He hurries to aid], and B’ri’i [With a Friend]. These four [were] the sons of Shime’i [Fame].11And Yachat [He will snatch up] was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Ye’ush [He hurries to aid] and B’ri’i [With a Friend] had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to [their] father’s house.12The sons of K’hat [assembly, congregation]; ‘Amram [exalted people], Yitz’har [Shining Oil], Hevron [Seat of Association], and Uzziel [My Strength is God], four.13The sons of ‘Amram [exalted people]; Aharon [Bright, Very High] and Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]: and Aharon [Bright, Very High] was separated, that he should sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to minister unto him, and to bless in his name forever.14Now [concerning] Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], his sons were named of the tribe of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner].15The sons of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] [were], Gershom [Exiled One], and Eli’ezer [God is help].16Of the sons of Gershom [Exiled One], Shebuel [was] the chief.17And the sons of Eli’ezer [God is help] [were], Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged] the chief. And Eli’ezer [God is help] had none other sons; but the sons of Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged] were very many.18Of the sons of Yitz’har [Shining Oil]; Shlomit [Peaceful] the chief.19Of the sons of Hevron [Seat of Association]; Yeriyahu [taught by Yehovah] the first, Amaryah [Yehovah speaks] the second, Yachazi’el [beheld of God] the third, and Y’kam’am [let the people rise] the fourth.20Of the sons of Uzziel [My Strength is God]; Mikhah [who is like God] the first, and Yishiyahu [Yehovah will lend] the second.21The sons of M’rari [Bitter]; Machli [Sick], and Mushi [Yielding]. The sons of Machli [Sick]; El’azar [God has helped], and Kish [bent].22And El’azar [God has helped] died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish [bent] took them.23The sons of Mushi [Yielding]; Machli [Sick], and ‘Eder [A Flock], and Yeremot [He is Most High], three.24These [were] the sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner] after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), from the age of twenty years and upward.25For David [beloved] said, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] has given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] forever:26And also unto the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]; they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.27For by the last words of David [beloved] the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] [were] numbered from twenty years old and above:28Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] for the service of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered];29Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which is baked in] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;30And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and likewise at even;31And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the Shabbat, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate):32And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy [place], and the charge of the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).1Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High]. The sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High]; Nadav [Generous], and Avihu [he is my father], El’azar [God has helped], and Itamar [Coast of Palms].2But Nadav [Generous] and Avihu [he is my father] died before their father, and had no children: therefore El’azar [God has helped] and Itamar [Coast of Palms] executed the priest’s office.3And David [beloved] distributed them, both Tzadok [righteous] of the sons of El’azar [God has helped], and Achi-Melekh [my brother is king] of the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms], according to their offices in their service.4And there were more chief men found of the sons of El’azar [God has helped] than of the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms]; and [thus] were they divided. Among the sons of El’azar [God has helped] [there were] sixteen chief men of the house of [their] fathers, and eight among the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms] according to the house of their fathers.5Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], were of the sons of El’azar [God has helped], and of the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms].6And Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the son of N’tan’el [God’s Gift] the scribe, [one] of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Tzadok [righteous] the priest, and Achi-Melekh [my brother is king] the son of Avyatar [my father is great], and [before] the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]: one principal household being taken for El’azar [God has helped], and [one] taken for Itamar [Coast of Palms].7Now the first lot came forth to Y’hoyariv [Yehovah contends], the second to Y’da’yah [Yehovah has known],8The third to Harim [dedicated], the fourth to S’orim [barley],9The fifth to Malkiyah [my king is Yehovah], the sixth to Minyamin [from the right hand],10The seventh to Hakotz [thorn], the eighth to Aviyah [Yehovah is (my) father],11The ninth to Yeshua [he is saved], the tenth to Sh’khanyahu [dweller with Yehovah],12The eleventh to Elyashiv [God restores], the twelfth to Yakim [He will raise],13The thirteenth to Hupah [canopy], the fourteenth to Yeshev’av [dwelling of the father],14The fifteenth to Bilgah [cheerfulness], the sixteenth to Immer [he has said],15The seventeenth to Hezir [swine], the eighteenth to HaPitzetz [to break],16The nineteenth to P’tachyah [freed by Yehovah], the twentieth to Yechezk’el [God strengthens],17The one and twentieth to Yakhin [He will establish], the two and twentieth to Gamul [weaned],18The three and twentieth to D’layahu [Yehovah has accomplished], the four and twentieth to Ma’azyah [consolation of Yehovah].19These [were] the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), according to their manner, under Aharon [Bright, Very High] their father, as the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] had commanded him.20And the rest of the sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner] [were these]: Of the sons of ‘Amram [exalted people]; Shuva’el [captive of God]: of the sons of Shuva’el [captive of God]; Yechd’yah [Yehovah is unity].21Concerning Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged]: of the sons of Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged], the first [was] Yishiyah [Yehovah will lend].22Of the Yitz’hari [oil]; Shlomot [peaceful]: of the sons of Shlomot [peaceful]; Yachat [He will snatch up].23And the sons [of Hevron [Seat of Association]]; Yeriyahu [taught by Yehovah] [the first], Amaryah [Yehovah speaks] the second, Yachazi’el [beheld of God] the third, Y’kam’am [let the people rise] the fourth.24[Of] the sons of Uzziel [My Strength is God]; Mikhah [who is like God]: of the sons of Mikhah [who is like God]; Shamir [A Point or Thorn].25The brother of Mikhah [who is like God] [was] Yishiyah [Yehovah will lend]: of the sons of Yishiyah [Yehovah will lend]; Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers].26The sons of M’rari [Bitter] [were] Machli [Sick] and Mushi [Yielding]: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.27The sons of M’rari [Bitter] by Ya’aziyahu [made bold by Yehovah]; his son, and Shoham [onyx], and Zakur [Mindful], and ‘Ivri [Hebrew].28Of Machli [Sick] [came] El’azar [God has helped], who had no sons.29Concerning Kish [bent]: the son of Kish [bent] [was] Yerachme’el [my God have pity].30The sons also of Mushi [Yielding]; Machli [Sick], and ‘Eder [A Flock], and Yerimot [He is Most High]. These [were] the sons of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] after the house of their fathers.31These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] in the presence of David [beloved] the king, and Tzadok [righteous], and Achi-Melekh [my brother is king], and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.1Moreover David [beloved] and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaf [gatherer], and of Heiman [faithful], and of Y’dutun [praising], who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:2Of the sons of Asaf [gatherer]; Zakur [Mindful], and Yosef [(God) He Shall Add], and N’tanyah [given of Yehovah], and Asar’elah [God holds], the sons of Asaf [gatherer] under the hands of Asaf [gatherer], which prophesied according to the order of the king.3Of Y’dutun [praising]: the sons of Y’dutun [praising]; G’dalyahu [Yehovah is great], and Tzeri [built], and Yesha’yah [Yehovah has saved], Hashavyah [Yehovah has considered], and Mattityah [gift of Yehovah], six, under the hands of their father Y’dutun [praising], who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).4Of Heiman [faithful]: the sons of Heiman [faithful]; Bukiyahu [Yehovah has emptied], Matanyah [gift of Yehovah], Uzziel [My Strength is God], Sh’vu’el [captive of God], and Yerimot [He is Most High], Hananyah [God has favoured], Hanani [gracious], Eli’atah [God has come], Giddalti [I make great], and Romamti’ezer [I have exalted the Helper], Yoshb’kashah [seated in hardness], Maloti [I have uttered], Hotir [abundance], [and] Machzi’ot [visions]:5All these [were] the sons of Heiman [faithful] the king’s seer in the words of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to lift up the horn. And God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] gave to Heiman [faithful] fourteen sons and three daughters.6All these [were] under the hands of their father for song [in] the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], according to the king’s order to Asaf [gatherer], Y’dutun [praising], and Heiman [faithful].7So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [even] all that were cunning, was two hundred eighty and eight.8And they cast lots, ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) against [ward (in custody, with a guard; prison)], as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.9Now the first lot came forth for Asaf [gatherer] to Yosef [(God) He Shall Add]: the second to G’dalyahu [Yehovah is great], who with his brethren and sons [were] twelve:10The third to Zakur [Mindful], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:11The fourth to Izri [my fashioner], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:12The fifth to N’tanyah [given of Yehovah], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:13The sixth to Bukiyahu [Yehovah has emptied], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:14The seventh to Y’sar’elah [these are upright], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:15The eighth to Yesha’yah [Yehovah has saved], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:16The ninth to Matanyah [gift of Yehovah], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:17The tenth to Shime’i [Fame], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:18The eleventh to ‘Azar’el [God has helped], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:19The twelfth to Hashavyah [Yehovah has considered], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:20The thirteenth to Shuva’el [captive of God], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:21The fourteenth to Mattityah [gift of Yehovah], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:22The fifteenth to Yeremot [He is Most High], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:23The sixteenth to Hananyah [God has favoured], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:24The seventeenth to Yoshb’kashah [seated in hardness], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:25The eighteenth to Hanani [gracious], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:26The nineteenth to Maloti [I have uttered], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:27The twentieth to Eli’atah [God has come], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:28The one and twentieth to Hotir [abundance], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:29The two and twentieth to Giddalti [I make great], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:30The three and twentieth to Machzi’ot [visions], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve:31The four and twentieth to Romamti’ezer [I have exalted the Helper], [he], his sons, and his brethren, [were] twelve.1Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korchi [of baldness] [was] Meshelemyahu [whom Yehovah repays] the son of Kore [crier], of the sons of Asaf [gatherer].2And the sons of Meshelemyahu [whom Yehovah repays] [were], Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the firstborn, Y’dia’el [God makes known] the second, Z’vadyah [endowment of Yehovah] the third, Yatni’el [God hires me] the fourth,3‘Eilam [eternity] the fifth, Y’hochanan [Yehovah has graced] the sixth, Elyo’eina [unto Yehovah are my eyes] the seventh.4Moreover the sons of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] [were], Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the firstborn, Y’hozavad [Yehovah has endowed] the second, Yo’ach [Yahovah is brother] the third, and Sakhar [wages] the fourth, and N’tan’el [God’s Gift] the fifth,5‘Ammi’el [my kinsman is God] the sixth, Yissakhar [There Is Recompense] the seventh, Pe’ultai [work] the eighth: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) him.6Also unto Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they [were] mighty men of valour.7The sons of Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears]; ‘Otni [lion of Yehovah], and Refa’el [healed of God], and ‘Oved [serving], Elzavad [God has given], whose brethren [were] strong men, Elihu [He is my God], and S’makhyahu [Yehovah has sustained].8All these of the sons of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom]: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, [were] threescore and two of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom].9And Meshelemyahu [whom Yehovah repays] had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.10Also Hosah [refuge], of the children of M’rari [Bitter], had sons; Shimri [vigilant] the chief, (for [though] he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)11Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah] the second, T’valyahu [purified] the third, Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah [refuge] [were] thirteen.12Among these [were] the divisions of the porters, [even] among the chief men, [having] wards one against another, to minister in the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).13And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.14And the lot eastward fell to Shelemyah [repaid by Yehovah] [repaid by Yehovah]. Then for Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.15To ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] southward; and to his sons the house of what is gathered (the storehouse).16To Shupim [serpents] and Hosah [refuge] [the lot came forth] westward, with the gate Shallekhet [overthrow], by the causeway of the going up, ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) against ward (in custody, with a guard; prison).17Eastward [were] six Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim (Storehouse) two [and] two.18At Parbar (structure on the west side of Solomon’s temple) [open apartment] westward, four at the causeway, [and] two at Parbar (structure on the west side of Solomon’s temple) [open apartment].19These [are] the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore [crier], and among the sons of M’rari [Bitter].20And of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], Achiyah [brother of Yehovah] [was] over the treasures of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and over the treasures of the dedicated things.21[As concerning] the sons of La’dan [put in order]; the sons of the Gershuni, La’dan [put in order], chief fathers, [even] of La’dan [put in order] the Gershuni, [were] Jehieli.22The sons of Yechi’eli [God shall save alive]; Zetam [olive], and Yo’el [Yehovah is God] his brother, [which were] over the treasures of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).23Of the ‘Amrami [exalted], [and] the Yitz’hari [oil], the Khevroni, [and] the ‘Uzi’el [God is My Strength]:24And Sh’vu’el [captive of God] the son of Gershom [Exiled One], the son of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], [was] ruler of the treasures.25And his brethren by Eli’ezer [God is help]; Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged] his son, and Yesha’yah [Yehovah has saved] his son, and Yoram [Yehovah is exalted] his son, and Zikhri [Illustrious] his son, and Shlomit [Peaceful] his son.26Which Shlomit [Peaceful] and his brethren [were] over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David [beloved] the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.27Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).28And all that Sh’mu’el [His name is El] the seer, and Sha’ul [desired] the son of Kish [bent], and Avner [my father is a lamp] the son of Ner [lamp], and Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam], had dedicated; [and] whosoever had dedicated [any thing, it was] under the hand of Shlomit [Peaceful], and of his brethren.29Of the Yitz’hari [oil], K’nanyaho [Yehovah establishes] and his sons [were] for the outward business over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for officers and judges.30[And] of the Khevroni, Hashavyah [Yehovah has considered] and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, [were] officers among them of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] on this side Yarden [Descender] westward in all the business of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and in the service of the king.31Among the Khevroni [was] Y’riyah [taught by Yehovah] the chief, [even] among the Khevroni, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David [beloved] they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Ya’zer [Helped] of Gil’ad [Rocky Region].32And his brethren, men of valour, [were] two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David [beloved] made rulers over the Re’uveni [behold, a son!], the Gadi [my fortune] [A Troop], and the half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], for every matter pertaining to God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and affairs of the king.1Now the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] after their number, [that is to say], the chief fathers and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, of every course [were] twenty and four thousand.2Over the first course for the first month [was] Yashov’am [the people will return] the son of Zavdi’el [God is my endowment]: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.3Of the children of Peretz [breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet)] [was] the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.4And over the course of the second month [was] Dodai [loving, amorous] an Achochi [God prevails], and of his course [was] Miklot [rods (clubs)] also the ruler: in his course likewise [were] twenty and four thousand.5The third captain of the host for the third month [was] B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the son of Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows], a chief priest: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.6This [is that] B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], [who was] mighty [among] the thirty, and above the thirty: and in his course [was] ‘Ammizavad [my people have bestowed] his son.7The fourth [captain] for the fourth month [was] ‘Asah’el [God-made] the brother of Yo’av [Yehovah is father], and Z’vadyah [endowment of Yehovah] his son after him: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.8The fifth captain for the fifth month [was] Shamhut [desolation] the Yizrach [descendant of “rising of light”]: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.9The sixth [captain] for the sixth month [was] ‘Ira [watchful of a city] the son of ‘Ikesh [twisted] the T’koai [trumpet blast]: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.10The seventh [captain] for the seventh month [was] Heletz [he has saved] the P’loni [a certain one], of the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful]: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.11The eighth [captain] for the eighth month [was] Sibkhai [weaver] the Hushati [meaning unknown], of the Zarchi: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.12The ninth [captain] for the ninth month [was] Avi-ezer [My Father is Help] the ‘Anatoti [affliction], of the Binyamini: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.13The tenth [captain] for the tenth month [was] Mahrai [impetuous] the N’tofati [dropping], of the Zarchi: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.14The eleventh [captain] for the eleventh month [was] B’nayahu [Yehovah has built] the Pir’atoni [Princely], of the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful]: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.15The twelfth [captain] for the twelfth month [was] Heldai [worldly] the N’tofati [dropping], of ‘Otni’el [Lion of God]: and in his course [were] twenty and four thousand.16Furthermore over the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: the ruler of the Re’uveni [behold, a son!] [was] Eli’ezer [God is help] the son of Zikhri [Illustrious]: of the Shimoni, Sh’fatyah [Yehovah has judged] the son of Ma’akhah [oppression]:17Of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], Hashavyah [Yehovah has considered] the son of K’mu’el [Raised of God]: of the Aharon [light bringer], Tzadok [righteous]:18Of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], Elihu [He is my God], [one] of the brethren of David [beloved]: of Yissakhar [There Is Recompense], ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah] the son of Mikha’el [Who is Like God?]:19Of Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place], Yishma’yahu [Yehovah will hear] the son of ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah]: of Naftali [My Wrestling], Yerimot [He is Most High] the son of ‘Azri’el [my help is God]:20Of the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], Hoshea [salvation] the son of ‘Azazyahu [Yehovah is mighty]: of the half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], Yo’el [Yehovah is God] the son of P’dayah [Yehovah has ransomed]:21Of the half [tribe] of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] in Gil’ad [Rocky Region], ‘Iddo [His witness] the son of Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers]: of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], Ya’asi’el [God is maker] the son of Avner [my father is a lamp]:22Of Dan [Judge], ‘Azar’el [God has helped] the son of Yerocham [showing pity]. These [were] the princes of the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].23But David [beloved] took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had said he would increase Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] like to the stars of the heavens.24Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam] began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David [beloved].25And over the king’s treasures [was] ‘Azmavet [strong unto death] the son of ‘Adi’el [ornament of God]: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, [was] Y’honatan [Yehovah has given] the son of ‘Uziyah [my strength is Yehovah]:26And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground [was] ‘Ezri [help of Yehovah] the son of K’luv [caged]:27And over the vineyards [was] Shime’i [Fame] the Ramati [the height]: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars [was] Zavdi [Endowment] the Shifmi [fruitful]:28And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that [were] in the low plains [was] Ba’al-Hanan [Ba’al the gracious] the Gederi [a wall]: and over the cellars of oil [was] Yo’ash [Given by the Lord]:29And over the herds that fed in Sharon [a plain] [was] Shitrai [my officers] the Sharoni [a plain]: and over the herds [that were] in the valleys [was] Shafat [He Has Judged] the son of Adlai:30Over the camels also [was] Obil the Yishma’eli (Ishmaelites) [God will Hear]: and over the asses [was] Yechd’yah [Yehovah is unity] the Meronoti [joyful shouter]:31And over the flocks [was] Jaziz the Hagerite. All these [were] the rulers of the substance which [was] king David’s [beloved]’s.32Also Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] David’s [beloved]’s uncle was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni [was] with the king’s sons:33And Achitofel [my brother i foolish] [was] the king’s counsellor: and Hushai [hasting] the Arki [lengthy] [was] the king’s companion:34And after Achitofel [my brother i foolish] [was] Y’hoyada [Yehovah knows] the son of B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], and Avyatar [my father is great]: and the general of the king’s army [was] Yo’av [Yehovah is father].1And David [beloved] assembled all the princes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].2Then David [beloved] the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in my heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and for the footstool of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and had made ready for the building:3But God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] said unto me, youi shall not build an house for my name, because youi [have been] a man of war, and have shed blood.4However the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] forever: for he has chosen Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make [me] king over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]:5And of all my sons, (for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given me many sons,) he has chosen Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].6And he said unto me, Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] youi son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son, and I will be his father.7Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.8Now therefore in the sight of all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] the congregation of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and in the audience of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: that you2f may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you forever.9And youi, Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] my son, know youi the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of youri father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) searcheth all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if youi seek him, he will be found of youi; but if youi forsake him, he will cast youi off forever.10Take heed now; for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has chosen youi to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].11Then David [beloved] gave to Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,12And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:13Also for the courses of the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).14[He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:15Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.16And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of showbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:17Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons [he gave gold] by weight for every bason; and [likewise silver] by weight for every bason of silver:18And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the k’vurim (cherubim), that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).19All [this, said David [beloved]], the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.20And David [beloved] said to Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [even] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [will be] with youi; he will not fail youi, nor forsake youi, until youi have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).21And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], [even they shall be with youi] for all the service of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: and [there shall be] with youi for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at youi commandment.1Furthermore David [beloved] the king said unto all the congregation, Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] my son, whom alone God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has chosen, [is yet] young and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace [is] not for man, but for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].2Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] the gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and the brass for [things] of brass, the iron for [things] of iron, and wood for [things] of wood; onyx stones, and [stones] to be set, glistering stones, and of diverse colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.3Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], I have of my own proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular) good, of gold and silver, [which] I have given to the house of my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,4[Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ofir [reducing to ashes], and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses [withal]:5The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [then] is willing to consecrate (treat as set apart or separate unto God) his service this day unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate)?6Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king’s work, offered willingly,7And gave for the service of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.8And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave [them] to the treasure of the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), by the hand of Jehiel the Gershuni.9Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and David [beloved] the king also rejoiced with great joy.10For what reason David [beloved] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) before all the congregation: and David [beloved] said, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] youi, LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] our father, forever and ever.11You1s, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is youi]; youi [is] the kingdom, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and youi are exalted as head above all.12Both riches and honour [come] of youi, and youi reign over all; and in youri hand [is] power and might; and in youri hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto all.13Now therefore, our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], we thank youi, and praise youri glorious name.14But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come] of youi, and of youri own have we given youi.15For we [are] strangers before youi, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] none abiding.16O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], all this store that we have prepared to build youi an house for youri holy name [comes] of youri hand, and [is] all youi own.17I know also, my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that youi try 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 have I seen with joy youi people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto youi.18O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Avraham [Exalted Father], Yitz’khak [Laughter], and of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of youri people, and prepare their heart unto youi:19And give unto Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] my son a perfect heart, to keep youri commandments, youri testimonies, and youri statutes, and to do all [these things], and to build the palace, [for] the which I have made provision.20And David [beloved] said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. And all the congregation Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the king.21And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), on the morrow after that day, [even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]:22And did eat and drink before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) on that day with great gladness. And they made Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] the son of David [beloved] king the second time, and anointed [him] unto the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [to be] the chief governor, and Tzadok [righteous] [to be] priest.23Then Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] sat on the throne of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) as king instead of David [beloved] his father, and prospered; and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] obeyed him.24And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David [beloved], submitted themselves unto Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] the king.25And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) magnified Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] exceedingly in the sight of all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].26Thus David [beloved] the son of Yishai [I possess] reigned over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].27And the time that he reigned over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [was] forty years; seven years reigned he in Hevron [Seat of Association], and thirty and three [years] reigned he in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].28And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son reigned in his stead.29Now the acts of David [beloved] the king, first and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of Sh’mu’el [His name is El] the seer, and in the book of Natan [giver] the prophet, and in the book of Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort] the seer,30With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
