1 Chronicles 19:2
And David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
1 Chronicles 19:3
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, that he has sent comforters to you? Have his servants not come to you to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?"

Therefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst by their buttocks, and sent them away.
1 Chronicles 19:5

1 Chronicles 19:13
Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord do [that which is] good in His sight."

1 Chronicles 20:2

1 Chronicles 21:2
And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know [it]."
1 Chronicles 21:3
And Joab answered, "The Lord, make His people a hundred times so many more than they [are], 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 Israel?"
1 Chronicles 21:4
Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 21:5
And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all [those of] Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men who drew swords, and Judah [was] four hundred seventy thousand men who drew the sword.

1 Chronicles 21:8
And David said to God, "I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing, but now, I beseech You, do away the iniquity of Your servant; for I have done very foolishly."

1 Chronicles 21:10
"Go and tell David, saying, 'Thus the Lord says, 'I offer you three [things], choose one of them, that I may do [it] to you.'"
1 Chronicles 21:11
So Gad came to David, and said to him, "Thus the Lord says, 'Choose
1 Chronicles 21:12
Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes [you]; or else the sword of the Lord for three days, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise yourself what word I will bring again to Him who sent me.'"
1 Chronicles 21:13
And David said to Gad, "I am in a great strait, let me fall now into the hand of the Lord; for very great [are] His mercies, but let me not fall into the hand of man."
1 Chronicles 21:14
So the Lord sent pestilence upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.
1 Chronicles 21:15
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and He repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, "It is enough, relax your hand now." And the angel of the Lord stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles 21:16
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of Israel, who were] clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
1 Chronicles 21:17
And David said to God, "[Is it] not I [who] commanded the people to be numbered? It is I even who have sinned and done evil indeed; but [as for] these sheep, what have they done? Please let Your hand O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on Your people, that they should be plagued."
1 Chronicles 21:18
Then the angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar to the Lord in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles 21:19
And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the Lord.
1 Chronicles 21:20
And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
1 Chronicles 21:21
And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and prostrated to David with [his] face to the ground.
1 Chronicles 21:22
Then David said to Ornan, "Grant me the place of [this] threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein to the Lord, you will grant it me for the full price, that the plague may be stayed from the people."
1 Chronicles 21:23
And Ornan said to David, "Take [it] to you, and let my lord the king do [that which is] good in his eyes, look, I give [you] the oxen [also] for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all."
1 Chronicles 21:24
And king David said to Ornan, "No; but I will verily buy it for the full price, for I will not take [that] which [is] yours for the Lord, nor offer burnt offerings without cost."
1 Chronicles 21:25
So David gave to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.
1 Chronicles 21:26
And David built an altar there to the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the Lord; and He answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
1 Chronicles 21:27
And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
1 Chronicles 21:28
At that time when David saw that the Lord had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
1 Chronicles 21:29
For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, [were] at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
1 Chronicles 21:30
But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the Lord.
1 Chronicles 22:1
Then David said, "This [is] the House of the Lord God, and this [is] the altar of the burnt offering for Israel."
1 Chronicles 22:2

1 Chronicles 22:5
And David said, "Solomon my son [is] young and tender, and the House [that is] to be built for the Lord [must be] exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries, I will [therefore] now make preparation for it." So David prepared abundantly before his death.
1 Chronicles 22:6
Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a House for the Lord God of Israel.
1 Chronicles 22:7
And David said to Solomon, "My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a House to the name of the Lord my God.
1 Chronicles 22:8
But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars, you will not build a House to My Name, because you have shed much blood upon the earth in My sight.
1 Chronicles 22:9
Behold, a son will be born to you, who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about, for his name will be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
1 Chronicles 22:10
He will build a House for My name; and he will be My son, and I [will be] his Father; *Hebrews 1:5 and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'
1 Chronicles 22:11
Now, my son, the Lord is with you; and prosper, and build the House of the Lord your God, as He has said of you.
1 Chronicles 22:12
Only the Lord gives you wisdom and understanding, and gives you charge concerning Israel, that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
1 Chronicles 22:13
Then you will prosper, if you take heed to fulfill the statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel, be strong, and of good courage; do not dread, nor be dismayed.
1 Chronicles 22:14
Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the House of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance, I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add thereto.
1 Chronicles 22:15
Moreover [there are] workmen with you in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
1 Chronicles 22:16
Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, [there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and do [it], and the Lord will be with you."
1 Chronicles 22:17
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],
1 Chronicles 22:18
"[Is] the Lord your God not 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, and before His people.
1 Chronicles 22:19
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the House that is to be built to the name of the Lord."
1 Chronicles 23:1

1 Chronicles 23:4
Of which, twenty four thousand [were] to set the work of the House of the Lord forward; and six thousand [were] officers and judges.
1 Chronicles 23:5
Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise [therewith].
1 Chronicles 23:6

The sons of Laadan; the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

1 Chronicles 23:10
And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.
1 Chronicles 23:11
And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to [their] father's house.
1 Chronicles 23:12
The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
1 Chronicles 23:13
The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses, and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister to Him, and to bless in His name forever.

These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their skulls, who did the work for the service of the House of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and upward.
1 Chronicles 23:25
For David said, "The Lord God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever."
1 Chronicles 23:26
And also to the Levites; they will no [longer] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
1 Chronicles 23:27
For by the last words of David the Levites [were] numbered from twenty years old and above.
1 Chronicles 23:28
Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the House of the Lord, 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;
1 Chronicles 23:29
Both for the bread, 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;

And to offer all burnt sacrifices to the Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before the Lord.
1 Chronicles 23:32
And 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 Aaron their brethren, in the service of the House of the Lord.
1 Chronicles 24:1
Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
