Verses 901–1000 of 2156 (page 10 of 22)
וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-חִלְקִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶת-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָן וְאֶת-עַכְבּוֹר בֶּן-מִֽיכָיָה וְאֵת׀ שָׁפָן הַסֹּפֵר וְאֵת עֲשָׂיָה עֶֽבֶד-הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹֽר׃
And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנְנִי מֵבִיא רָעָה אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְעַל-יֹֽשְׁבָיו אֵת כָּל-דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר אֲשֶׁר קָרָא מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָֽה׃
Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אֶתְכֶם לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה כֹּה תֹֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמָֽעְתָּ׃
But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
לָכֵן הִנְנִי אֹֽסִפְךָ עַל-אֲבֹתֶיךָ וְנֶֽאֱסַפְתָּ אֶל-קִבְרֹתֶיךָ בְּשָׁלוֹם וְלֹֽא-תִרְאֶינָה עֵינֶיךָ בְּכֹל הָֽרָעָה אֲשֶׁר-אֲנִי מֵבִיא עַל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וַיָּשִׁבוּ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּבָֽר׃
Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
וַיִּשְׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּֽאַסְפוּ אֵלָיו כָּל-זִקְנֵי יְהוּדָה וִירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
וַיַּעַל הַמֶּלֶךְ בֵּית-יְהוָה וְכָל-אִישׁ יְהוּדָה וְכָל-יֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אִתּוֹ וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַנְּבִיאִים וְכָל-הָעָם לְמִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדוֹל וַיִּקְרָא בְאָזְנֵיהֶם אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַנִּמְצָא בְּבֵית יְהוָֽה׃
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
וַיַּֽעֲמֹד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַֽל-הָעַמּוּד וַיִּכְרֹת אֶֽת-הַבְּרִית׀ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת אַחַר יְהוָה וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֹתָיו וְאֶת-עֵדְוֹתָיו וְאֶת-חֻקֹּתָיו בְּכָל-לֵב וּבְכָל-נֶפֶשׁ לְהָקִים אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַבְּרִית הַזֹּאת הַכְּתֻבִים עַל-הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּה וַיַּֽעֲמֹד כָּל-הָעָם בַּבְּרִֽית׃
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְאֶת-כֹּֽהֲנֵי הַמִּשְׁנֶה וְאֶת-שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַסַּף לְהוֹצִיא מֵֽהֵיכַל יְהוָה אֵת כָּל-הַכֵּלִים הָֽעֲשׂוּיִם לַבַּעַל וְלָֽאֲשֵׁרָה וּלְכֹל צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם וַֽיִּשְׂרְפֵם מִחוּץ לִירֽוּשָׁלִַם בְּשַׁדְמוֹת קִדְרוֹן וְנָשָׂא אֶת-עֲפָרָם בֵּֽית-אֵֽל׃
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
וְהִשְׁבִּית אֶת-הַכְּמָרִים אֲשֶׁר נָֽתְנוּ מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה וַיְקַטֵּר בַּבָּמוֹת בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּמְסִבֵּי יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְאֶת-הַֽמְקַטְּרִים לַבַּעַל לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְלַיָּרֵחַ וְלַמַּזָּלוֹת וּלְכֹל צְבָא הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
וַיַּשְׁבֵּת אֶת-הַסּוּסִים אֲשֶׁר נָֽתְנוּ מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ מִבֹּא בֵית-יְהוָה אֶל-לִשְׁכַּת נְתַן-מֶלֶךְ הַסָּרִיס אֲשֶׁר בַּפַּרְוָרִים וְאֶת-מַרְכְּבוֹת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ שָׂרַף בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
וְאֶת-הַֽמִּזְבְּחוֹת אֲשֶׁר עַל-הַגָּג עֲלִיַּת אָחָז אֲשֶׁר-עָשׂוּ׀ מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה וְאֶת-הַֽמִּזְבְּחוֹת אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה בִּשְׁתֵּי חַצְרוֹת בֵּית-יְהוָה נָתַץ הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיָּרָץ מִשָּׁם וְהִשְׁלִיךְ אֶת-עֲפָרָם אֶל-נַחַל קִדְרֽוֹן׃
And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
וְֽאֶת-הַבָּמוֹת אֲשֶׁר׀ עַל-פְּנֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר מִימִין לְהַר-הַמַּשְׁחִית אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְעַשְׁתֹּרֶת׀ שִׁקֻּץ צִֽידֹנִים וְלִכְמוֹשׁ שִׁקֻּץ מוֹאָב וּלְמִלְכֹּם תּֽוֹעֲבַת בְּנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן טִמֵּא הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
וְגַם אֶת-כָּל-בָּתֵּי הַבָּמוֹת אֲשֶׁר׀ בְּעָרֵי שֹֽׁמְרוֹן אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהַכְעִיס הֵסִיר יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם כְּכָל-הַֽמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּבֵֽית-אֵֽל׃
And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.
וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-כָּל-הָעָם לֵאמֹר עֲשׂוּ פֶסַח לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם כַּכָּתוּב עַל סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַזֶּֽה׃
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
כִּי לֹא נַֽעֲשָׂה כַּפֶּסַח הַזֶּה מִימֵי הַשֹּׁפְטִים אֲשֶׁר שָֽׁפְטוּ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכֹל יְמֵי מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָֽה׃
Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
כִּי אִם-בִּשְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לַמֶּלֶךְ יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ נַֽעֲשָׂה הַפֶּסַח הַזֶּה לַֽיהוָה בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
וְכָמֹהוּ לֹֽא-הָיָה לְפָנָיו מֶלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר-שָׁב אֶל-יְהוָה בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ וּבְכָל-נַפְשׁוֹ וּבְכָל-מְאֹדוֹ כְּכֹל תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה וְאַֽחֲרָיו לֹא-קָם כָּמֹֽהוּ׃
And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ וְכָל-אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלֹא-הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָֽה׃
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
בְּיָמָיו עָלָה פַרְעֹה נְכֹה מֶֽלֶךְ-מִצְרַיִם עַל-מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר עַל-נְהַר-פְּרָת וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ לִקְרָאתוֹ וַיְמִיתֵהוּ בִּמְגִדּוֹ כִּרְאֹתוֹ אֹתֽוֹ׃
In his days Pharaoh-nechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
בְּיָמָיו עָלָה נְבֻֽכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיְהִי-לוֹ יְהֽוֹיָקִים עֶבֶד שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים וַיָּשָׁב וַיִּמְרָד-בּֽוֹ׃
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
וְיֶתֶר דִּבְרֵי יְהֽוֹיָקִים וְכָל-אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הֲלֹא-הֵם כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָֽה׃
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
וְלֹֽא-הֹסִיף עוֹד מֶלֶךְ מִצְרַיִם לָצֵאת מֵֽאַרְצוֹ כִּֽי-לָקַח מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל מִנַּחַל מִצְרַיִם עַד-נְהַר-פְּרָת כֹּל אֲשֶׁר הָֽיְתָה לְמֶלֶךְ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
בָּעֵת הַהִיא (עלה) עָלוּ עַבְדֵי נְבֻֽכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וַתָּבֹא הָעִיר בַּמָּצֽוֹר׃
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
וַיָּבֹא נְבֻֽכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל עַל-הָעִיר וַֽעֲבָדָיו צָרִים עָלֶֽיהָ׃
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
וַיֵּצֵא יְהֽוֹיָכִין מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה עַל-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל הוּא וְאִמּוֹ וַֽעֲבָדָיו וְשָׂרָיו וְסָֽרִיסָיו וַיִּקַּח אֹתוֹ מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת שְׁמֹנֶה לְמָלְכֽוֹ׃
And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
וַיּוֹצֵא מִשָּׁם אֶת-כָּל-אֽוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֽוֹצְרוֹת בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְקַצֵּץ אֶת-כָּל-כְּלֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה שְׁלֹמֹה מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּהֵיכַל יְהוָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָֽה׃
And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
וַיֶּגֶל אֶת-יְהֽוֹיָכִין בָּבֶלָה וְאֶת-אֵם הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-נְשֵׁי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-סָֽרִיסָיו וְאֵת (אולי) אֵילֵי הָאָרֶץ הוֹלִיךְ גּוֹלָה מִירֽוּשָׁלִַם בָּבֶֽלָה׃
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
וְאֵת כָּל-אַנְשֵׁי הַחַיִל שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וְהֶֽחָרָשׁ וְהַמַּסְגֵּר אֶלֶף הַכֹּל גִּבּוֹרִים עֹשֵׂי מִלְחָמָה וַיְבִיאֵם מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל גּוֹלָה בָּבֶֽלָה׃
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
וַיַּמְלֵךְ מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶת-מַתַּנְיָה דֹדוֹ תַּחְתָּיו וַיַּסֵּב אֶת-שְׁמוֹ צִדְקִיָּֽהוּ׃
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
כִּי׀ עַל-אַף יְהוָה הָֽיְתָה בִירֽוּשָׁלִַם וּבִיהוּדָה עַד-הִשְׁלִכוֹ אֹתָם מֵעַל פָּנָיו וַיִּמְרֹד צִדְקִיָּהוּ בְּמֶלֶךְ בָּבֶֽל׃
For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
וַיְהִי בִשְׁנַת הַתְּשִׁיעִית לְמָלְכוֹ בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָֽעֲשִׂירִי בֶּֽעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ בָּא נְבֻֽכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל הוּא וְכָל-חֵילוֹ עַל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וַיִּחַן עָלֶיהָ וַיִּבְנוּ עָלֶיהָ דָּיֵק סָבִֽיב׃
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
וַתָּבֹא הָעִיר בַּמָּצוֹר עַד עַשְׁתֵּי עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לַמֶּלֶךְ צִדְקִיָּֽהוּ׃
And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
וַתִּבָּקַע הָעִיר וְכָל-אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה׀ הַלַּיְלָה דֶּרֶךְ שַׁעַר׀ בֵּין הַחֹֽמֹתַיִם אֲשֶׁר עַל-גַּן הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכַשְׂדִּים עַל-הָעִיר סָבִיב וַיֵּלֶךְ דֶּרֶךְ הָֽעֲרָבָֽה׃
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
וַיִּרְדְּפוּ חֵיל-כַּשְׂדִּים אַחַר הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּשִּׂגוּ אֹתוֹ בְּעַֽרְבוֹת יְרֵחוֹ וְכָל-חֵילוֹ נָפֹצוּ מֵֽעָלָֽיו׃
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
וַֽיִּתְפְּשׂוּ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּֽעֲלוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל רִבְלָתָה וַיְדַבְּרוּ אִתּוֹ מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
וּבַחֹדֶשׁ הַֽחֲמִישִׁי בְּשִׁבְעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ הִיא שְׁנַת תְּשַֽׁע-עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לַמֶּלֶךְ נְבֻֽכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל בָּא נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים עֶבֶד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
וַיִּשְׂרֹף אֶת-בֵּית-יְהוָה וְאֶת-בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֵת כָּל-בָּתֵּי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וְאֶת-כָּל-בֵּית גָּדוֹל שָׂרַף בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר וְאֶת-הַנֹּֽפְלִים אֲשֶׁר נָֽפְלוּ עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְאֵת יֶתֶר הֶֽהָמוֹן הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִֽים׃
Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
וּמִן-הָעִיר לָקַח סָרִיס אֶחָד אֲֽשֶׁר-הוּא פָקִיד׀ עַל-אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה אֲנָשִׁים מֵֽרֹאֵי פְנֵֽי-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר נִמְצְאוּ בָעִיר וְאֵת הַסֹּפֵר שַׂר הַצָּבָא הַמַּצְבִּא אֶת-עַם הָאָרֶץ וְשִׁשִּׁים אִישׁ מֵעַם הָאָרֶץ הַֽנִּמְצְאִים בָּעִֽיר׃
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
וַיִּקַּח אֹתָם נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים וַיֹּלֶךְ אֹתָם עַל-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל רִבְלָֽתָה׃
And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
וַיַּךְ אֹתָם מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיְמִיתֵם בְּרִבְלָה בְּאֶרֶץ חֲמָת וַיִּגֶל יְהוּדָה מֵעַל אַדְמָתֽוֹ׃
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
וְהָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָר בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁאִיר נְבֽוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיַּפְקֵד עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם בֶּן-שָׁפָֽן׃
And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל-שָׂרֵי הַֽחֲיָלִים הֵמָּה וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים כִּֽי-הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ הַמִּצְפָּה וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וְיֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וּשְׂרָיָה בֶן-תַּנְחֻמֶת הַנְּטֹֽפָתִי וְיַֽאֲזַנְיָהוּ בֶּן-הַמַּעֲכָתִי הֵמָּה וְאַנְשֵׁיהֶֽם׃
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
וַיִּשָּׁבַע לָהֶם גְּדַלְיָהוּ וּלְאַנְשֵׁיהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ מֵֽעַבְדֵי הַכַּשְׂדִּים שְׁבוּ בָאָרֶץ וְעִבְדוּ אֶת-מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְיִטַב לָכֶֽם׃
And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
וַיְהִי בִשְׁלֹשִׁים וָשֶׁבַע שָׁנָה לְגָלוּת יְהֽוֹיָכִין מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה בִּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ בְּעֶשְׂרִים וְשִׁבְעָה לַחֹדֶשׁ נָשָׂא אֱוִיל מְרֹדַךְ מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל בִּשְׁנַת מָלְכוֹ אֶת-רֹאשׁ יְהֽוֹיָכִין מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה מִבֵּית כֶּֽלֶא׃
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
וַיְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ טֹבוֹת וַיִּתֵּן אֶת-כִּסְאוֹ מֵעַל כִּסֵּא הַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ בְּבָבֶֽל׃
And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
וַאֲרֻחָתוֹ אֲרֻחַת תָּמִיד נִתְּנָה-לּוֹ מֵאֵת הַמֶּלֶךְ דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ כֹּל יְמֵי חַיָּֽו׃
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
וְאֵלֶּה הַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר מָֽלְכוּ בְּאֶרֶץ אֱדוֹם לִפְנֵי מְלָךְ-מֶלֶךְ לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בֶּלַע בֶּן-בְּעוֹר וְשֵׁם עִירוֹ דִּנְהָֽבָה׃
Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
הַשְּׁלִשִׁי לְאַבְשָׁלוֹם בֶּֽן-מַעֲכָה בַּת-תַּלְמַי מֶלֶךְ גְּשׁוּר הָֽרְבִיעִי אֲדֹֽנִיָּה בֶן-חַגִּֽית׃
The third, Absalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur: the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith:
הֵמָּה הַיּוֹצְרִים וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי נְטָעִים וּגְדֵרָה עִם-הַמֶּלֶךְ בִּמְלַאכְתּוֹ יָשְׁבוּ שָֽׁם׃
These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for his work.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלֶּה הַכְּתוּבִים בְּשֵׁמוֹת בִּימֵי׀ יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-אָֽהֳלֵיהֶם וְאֶת-(המעינים) הַמְּעוּנִים אֲשֶׁר נִמְצְאוּ-שָׁמָּה וַיַּֽחֲרִימֻם עַד-הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ תַּחְתֵּיהֶם כִּֽי-מִרְעֶה לְצֹאנָם שָֽׁם׃
And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote 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.
בְּאֵרָה בְנוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה תִּלְּגַת פִּלְנְאֶסֶר מֶלֶךְ אַשֻּׁר הוּא נָשִׂיא לָרֽאוּבֵנִֽי׃
Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
כֻּלָּם הִתְיַחְשׂוּ בִּימֵי יוֹתָם מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה וּבִימֵי יָֽרָבְעָם מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
וַיָּעַר אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-רוּחַ׀ פּוּל מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר וְאֶת-רוּחַ תִּלְּגַת פִּלְנֶסֶר מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיַּגְלֵם לָרֽאוּבֵנִי וְלַגָּדִי וְלַֽחֲצִי שֵׁבֶט מְנַשֶּׁה וַיְבִיאֵם לַחְלַח וְחָבוֹר וְהָרָא וּנְהַר גּוֹזָן עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הִתְיַחְשׂוּ וְהִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִֽיהוּדָה הָגְלוּ לְבָבֶל בְּמַֽעֲלָֽם׃
So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
וְֽעַד-הֵנָּה בְּשַׁעַר הַמֶּלֶךְ מִזְרָחָה הֵמָּה הַשֹּׁעֲרִים לְמַֽחֲנוֹת בְּנֵי לֵוִֽי׃
Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi.
גַּם-תְּמוֹל גַּם-שִׁלְשׁוֹם גַּם בִּֽהְיוֹת שָׁאוּל מֶלֶךְ אַתָּה הַמּוֹצִיא וְהַמֵּבִיא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ אַתָּה תִרְעֶה אֶת-עַמִּי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַתָּה תִּֽהְיֶה נָגִיד עַל עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל-זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ חֶבְרוֹנָה וַיִּכְרֹת לָהֶם דָּוִיד בְּרִית בְּחֶבְרוֹן לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיִּמְשְׁחוּ אֶת-דָּוִיד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּדְבַר יְהוָה בְּיַד-שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃
Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
וַיִּשְׁלַח (חירם) חוּרָם מֶֽלֶךְ-צֹר מַלְאָכִים אֶל-דָּוִיד וַֽעֲצֵי אֲרָזִים וְחָֽרָשֵׁי קִיר וְחָֽרָשֵׁי עֵצִים לִבְנוֹת לוֹ בָּֽיִת׃
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
וַיֵּדַע דָּוִיד כִּֽי-הֱכִינוֹ יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-נִשֵּׂאת לְמַעְלָה מַלְכוּתוֹ בַּֽעֲבוּר עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים כִּֽי-נִמְשַׁח דָּוִיד לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּֽעֲלוּ כָל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-דָּוִיד וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִיד וַיֵּצֵא לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.
וַיְהִי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית יְהוָה בָּא עַד-עִיר דָּוִיד וּמִיכַל בַּת-שָׁאוּל נִשְׁקְפָה׀ בְּעַד הַֽחַלּוֹן וַתֵּרֶא אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד מְרַקֵּד וּמְשַׂחֵק וַתִּבֶז לוֹ בְּלִבָּֽהּ׃
And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
לֹֽא-הִנִּיחַ לְאִישׁ לְעָשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִֽים׃
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
וַיָּבֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד וַיֵּשֶׁב לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר מִֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים וּמִי בֵיתִי כִּי הֲבִֽיאֹתַנִי עַד-הֲלֹֽם׃
And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד אֶת-הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָה חֲמָתָה בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לְהַצִּיב יָדוֹ בִּֽנְהַר-פְּרָֽת׃
And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
וַיָּבֹא אֲרַם דַּרְמֶשֶׂק לַעְזוֹר לַֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶלֶךְ צוֹבָה וַיַּךְ דָּוִיד בַּֽאֲרָם עֶשְׂרִֽים-וּשְׁנַיִם אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
וַיִּשְׁמַע תֹּעוּ מֶלֶךְ חֲמָת כִּי הִכָּה דָוִיד אֶת-כָּל-חֵיל הֲדַדְעֶזֶר מֶֽלֶךְ-צוֹבָֽה׃
Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת-הֲדֽוֹרָם-בְּנוֹ אֶל-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ-דָּוִיד (לשאול) לִשְׁאָל-לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם וּֽלְבָרֲכוֹ עַל אֲשֶׁר נִלְחַם בַּֽהֲדַדְעֶזֶר וַיַּכֵּהוּ כִּי-אִישׁ מִלְחֲמוֹת תֹּעוּ הָיָה הֲדַדְעָזֶר וְכֹל כְּלֵי זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּנְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
גַּם-אֹתָם הִקְדִּישׁ הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד לַֽיהוָה עִם-הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר נָשָׂא מִכָּל-הַגּוֹיִם מֵֽאֱדוֹם וּמִמּוֹאָב וּמִבְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמֵֽעֲמָלֵֽק׃
Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
וּבְנָיָהוּ בֶּן-יְהוֹיָדָע עַל-הַכְּרֵתִי וְהַפְּלֵתִי וּבְנֵֽי-דָוִיד הָרִֽאשֹׁנִים לְיַד הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
וַֽיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי-כֵן וַיָּמָת נָחָשׁ מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וַיִּמְלֹךְ בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ וַיַּגִּידוּ לְדָוִיד עַל-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וַיִּשְׁלַח לִקְרָאתָם כִּֽי-הָיוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים נִכְלָמִים מְאֹד וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁבוּ בִֽירֵחוֹ עַד אֲשֶׁר-יְצַמַּח זְקַנְכֶם וְשַׁבְתֶּֽם׃
Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
וַיִּשְׂכְּרוּ לָהֶם שְׁנַיִם וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף רֶכֶב וְאֶת-מֶלֶךְ מַֽעֲכָה וְאֶת-עַמּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ לִפְנֵי מֵידְבָא וּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן נֶֽאֶסְפוּ מֵעָרֵיהֶם וַיָּבֹאוּ לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ מִלְחָמָה פֶּתַח הָעִיר וְהַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר-בָּאוּ לְבַדָּם בַּשָּׂדֶֽה׃
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
וַיְהִי לְעֵת תְּשׁוּבַת הַשָּׁנָה לְעֵת׀ צֵאת הַמְּלָכִים וַיִּנְהַג יוֹאָב אֶת-חֵיל הַצָּבָא וַיַּשְׁחֵת׀ אֶת-אֶרֶץ בְּנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וַיָּבֹא וַיָּצַר אֶת-רַבָּה וְדָוִיד יֹשֵׁב בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּךְ יוֹאָב אֶת-רַבָּה וַיֶּֽהֶרְסֶֽהָ׃
And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
וַיִּקַּח דָּוִיד אֶת-עֲטֶֽרֶת-מַלְכָּם מֵעַל רֹאשׁוֹ וַֽיִּמְצָאָהּ׀ מִשְׁקַל כִּכַּר-זָהָב וּבָהּ אֶבֶן יְקָרָה וַתְּהִי עַל-רֹאשׁ דָּוִיד וּשְׁלַל הָעִיר הוֹצִיא הַרְבֵּה מְאֹֽד׃
And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב יוֹסֵף יְהוָה עַל-עַמּוֹ׀ כָּהֵם מֵאָה פְעָמִים הֲלֹא אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ כֻּלָּם לַֽאדֹנִי לַֽעֲבָדִים לָמָּה יְבַקֵּשׁ זֹאת אֲדֹנִי לָמָּה יִֽהְיֶה לְאַשְׁמָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Joab answered, The LORD 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 doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
וּדְבַר-הַמֶּלֶךְ חָזַק עַל-יוֹאָב וַיֵּצֵא יוֹאָב וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ בְּכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹא יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
וְלֵוִי וּבִנְיָמִן לֹא פָקַד בְּתוֹכָם כִּֽי-נִתְעַב דְּבַר-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-יוֹאָֽב׃
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
וַיֹּאמֶר אָרְנָן אֶל-דָּוִיד קַֽח-לָךְ וְיַעַשׂ אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינָיו רְאֵה נָתַתִּי הַבָּקָר לָֽעֹלוֹת וְהַמּֽוֹרִגִּים לָֽעֵצִים וְהַֽחִטִּים לַמִּנְחָה הַכֹּל נָתָֽתִּי׃
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד לְאָרְנָן לֹא כִּֽי-קָנֹה אֶקְנֶה בְּכֶסֶף מָלֵא כִּי לֹֽא-אֶשָּׂא אֲשֶׁר-לְךָ לַֽיהוָה וְהַֽעֲלוֹת עוֹלָה חִנָּֽם׃
And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
וַֽיִּכְתְּבֵם שְֽׁמַעְיָה בֶן-נְתַנְאֵל הַסּוֹפֵר מִן-הַלֵּוִי לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִים וְצָדוֹק הַכֹּהֵן וַֽאֲחִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֶבְיָתָר וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם בֵּֽית-אָב אֶחָד אָחֻז לְאֶלְעָזָר וְאָחֻז׀ אָחֻז לְאִֽיתָמָֽר׃
And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
וַיַּפִּילוּ גַם-הֵם גּֽוֹרָלוֹת לְעֻמַּת׀ אֲחֵיהֶם בְּנֵֽי-אַהֲרֹן לִפְנֵי דָוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ וְצָדוֹק וַֽאֲחִימֶלֶךְ וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם אָבוֹת הָרֹאשׁ לְעֻמַּת אָחִיו הַקָּטָֽן׃
These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
לִבְנֵי אָסָף זַכּוּר וְיוֹסֵף וּנְתַנְיָה וַֽאֲשַׂרְאֵלָה בְּנֵי אָסָף עַל יַד-אָסָף הַנִּבָּא עַל-יְדֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
כָּל-אֵלֶּה בָנִים לְהֵימָן חֹזֵה הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּדִבְרֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְהָרִים קָרֶן וַיִּתֵּן הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְהֵימָן בָּנִים אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר וּבָנוֹת שָׁלֽוֹשׁ׃
All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
כָּל-אֵלֶּה עַל-יְדֵי אֲבִיהֶם בַּשִּׁיר בֵּית יְהוָה בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם נְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרוֹת לַֽעֲבֹדַת בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל יְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָף וִֽידוּתוּן וְהֵימָֽן׃
All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
הוּא שְׁלֹמוֹת וְאֶחָיו עַל כָּל-אֹֽצְרוֹת הַקֳּדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְשָׂרֵֽי-הָאֲלָפִים וְהַמֵּאוֹת וְשָׂרֵי הַצָּבָֽא׃
Which Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
לַֽחֶבְרוֹנִי חֲשַׁבְיָהוּ וְאֶחָיו בְּנֵי-חַיִל אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע-מֵאוֹת עַל פְּקֻדַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעֵבֶר לַיַּרְדֵּן מַעְרָבָה לְכֹל מְלֶאכֶת יְהוָה וְלַֽעֲבֹדַת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, were officers among them of Israel on this side Jordan westward in all the business of the LORD, and in the service of the king.
וְאֶחָיו בְּנֵי-חַיִל אַלְפַּיִם וּשְׁבַע מֵאוֹת רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת וַֽיַּפְקִידֵם דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל-הָרֽאוּבֵנִי וְהַגָּדִי וַֽחֲצִי שֵׁבֶט הַֽמְנַשִּׁי לְכָל-דְּבַר הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּדְבַר הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And his brethren, men of valour, were two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David made rulers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God, and affairs of the king.
וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׀ לְֽמִסְפָּרָם רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת וְשָׂרֵי הָֽאֲלָפִים׀ וְהַמֵּאוֹת וְשֹֽׁטְרֵיהֶם הַמְשָֽׁרְתִים אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ לְכֹל׀ דְּבַר הַֽמַּחְלְקוֹת הַבָּאָה וְהַיֹּצֵאת חֹדֶשׁ בְּחֹדֶשׁ לְכֹל חָדְשֵׁי הַשָּׁנָה הַֽמַּחֲלֹקֶת הָֽאַחַת עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה אָֽלֶף׃
Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, 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.
יוֹאָב בֶּן-צְרוּיָה הֵחֵל לִמְנוֹת וְלֹא כִלָּה וַיְהִי בָזֹאת קֶצֶף עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא עָלָה הַמִּסְפָּר בְּמִסְפַּר דִּבְרֵֽי-הַיָּמִים לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִֽיד׃
Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the account of the chronicles of king David.
וְעַל אֹֽצְרוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ עַזְמָוֶת בֶּן-עֲדִיאֵל וְעַל הָאֹֽצָרוֹת בַּשָּׂדֶה בֶּֽעָרִים וּבַכְּפָרִים וּבַמִּגְדָּלוֹת יְהֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-עֻזִּיָּֽהוּ׃
And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:
וְעַל-הַצֹּאן יָזִיז הַֽהַגְרִי כָּל-אֵלֶּה שָׂרֵי הָֽרְכוּשׁ אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִֽיד׃
And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's.
וִיהֽוֹנָתָן דּוֹד-דָּוִיד יוֹעֵץ אִישׁ-מֵבִין וְסוֹפֵר הוּא וִֽיחִיאֵל בֶּן-חַכְמוֹנִי עִם-בְּנֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Also Jonathan David's uncle was a counseller, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons:
וַֽאֲחִיתֹפֶל יוֹעֵץ לַמֶּלֶךְ וְחוּשַׁי הָֽאַרְכִּי רֵעַ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Ahithophel was the king's counseller: and Hushai the Archite was the king's companion:
וְאַֽחֲרֵי אֲחִיתֹפֶל יְהֽוֹיָדָע בֶּן-בְּנָיָהוּ וְאֶבְיָתָר וְשַׂר-צָבָא לַמֶּלֶךְ יוֹאָֽב׃
And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and the general of the king's army was Joab.
וַיַּקְהֵל דָּוִיד אֶת-כָּל-שָׂרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׂרֵי הַשְּׁבָטִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמַּחְלְקוֹת הַמְשָֽׁרְתִים אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְשָׂרֵי הָֽאֲלָפִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמֵּאוֹת וְשָׂרֵי כָל-רְכוּשׁ-וּמִקְנֶה׀ לַמֶּלֶךְ וּלְבָנָיו עִם-הַסָּֽרִיסִים וְהַגִּבּוֹרִים וּֽלְכָל-גִּבּוֹר חָיִל אֶל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And David assembled all the princes of Israel, 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 Jerusalem.
וַיָּקָם דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל-רַגְלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמָעוּנִי אַחַי וְעַמִּי אֲנִי עִם-לְבָבִי לִבְנוֹת בֵּית מְנוּחָה לַֽאֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה וְלַֽהֲדֹם רַגְלֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽהֲכִינוֹתִי לִבְנֽוֹת׃
Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
וַיִּבְחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּי מִכֹּל בֵּית-אָבִי לִֽהְיוֹת לְמֶלֶךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְעוֹלָם כִּי בִֽיהוּדָה בָּחַר לְנָגִיד וּבְבֵית יְהוּדָה בֵּית אָבִי וּבִבְנֵי אָבִי בִּי רָצָה לְהַמְלִיךְ עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ לְכָל-הַקָּהָל שְׁלֹמֹה בְנִי אֶחָד בָּֽחַר-בּוֹ אֱלֹהִים נַעַר וָרָךְ וְהַמְּלָאכָה גְדוֹלָה כִּי לֹא לְאָדָם הַבִּירָה כִּי לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
