⁷ Then the five men went on their way and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, living without thought of danger, like the Zidonians, quiet and safe; for they had everything on earth for their needs, and they were far from the Zidonians and had no business with Aram. ⁸ So they came back to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, What news have you? ⁹ And they said, Up! and let us go against Laish; for we have seen the land, and it is very good: why are you doing nothing?

¹ And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors. ² So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands. ³ And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? ⁴ Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands. ⁵ So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah. ⁶ Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand. ⁷ And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in. ⁸ And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men. ⁹ And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod. ¹⁰ Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me. ¹¹ And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down. ¹² Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up. ¹³ Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.

⁶ So Achish straight away gave him Ziklag: and for that reason Ziklag has been the property of the kings of Judah to this day.

¹ Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

¹⁷ And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.

²⁸ And to those in Arara and Eshtemoa

¹² The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

⁷ And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; and I am only a young boy, with no knowledge of how to go out or come in. ⁸ And your servant has round him the people of your selection, a people so great that they may not be numbered, and no account of them may be given. ⁹ Give your servant, then, a wise heart for judging your people, able to see what is good and what evil; for who is able to be the judge of this great people? ¹⁰ Now these words and Solomon's request were pleasing to the Lord. ¹¹ And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes; ¹² I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future. ¹³ And with this I have given you what you made no request for: wealth and honour, so that no king was ever your equal.

⁵⁷ And to the sons of Aaron they gave Hebron, the town to which men might go in flight and be safe, and Libnah with its outskirts, and Jattir, and Eshtemoa with its outskirts,

²³ After that, he had connection with his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to a son, to whom his father gave the name of Beriah, because trouble had come on his family.

⁵ And of the Shilonites: Asaiah the oldest, and his sons.

¹ Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.

⁸ O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

²⁴ And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.

⁹ The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place before the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside; and there they are to this day.

⁶ He was the builder of Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa

⁵ And Maaseiah, the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of the Shilonite.

²⁸ And in Ziklag, and in Meconah and its daughter-towns,

³⁵ Lod and Ono, the valley of expert workers.

⁴ It seems that I am to be as one who is a cause of laughing to his neighbour, one who makes his prayer to God and is answered! the upright man who has done no wrong is to be made sport of!

²⁷ You will make your prayer to him, and be answered; and you will give effect to your oaths. ²⁸ Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways.

⁴ He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

³ When I kept my mouth shut, my bones were wasted, because of my crying all through the day. ⁴ For the weight of your hand was on me day and night; my body became dry like the earth in summer. Selah.

⁸ Make me full of joy and rapture; so that the bones which have been broken may be glad.

¹² Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

¹⁶ As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.

² To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh come.

¹⁹ But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer. ²⁰ Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.

¹⁷ May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.

⁵¹ He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

⁶ I took the weight from his back; his hands were made free from the baskets.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them.

²³ Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

¹ I have given my love to the Lord, because he has given ear to the voice of my cry and my prayer. ² He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days. ³ The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.

¹⁷³ Let your hand be near for my help; for I have given my heart to your orders.

²² The blessing of the Lord gives wealth: hard work makes it no greater.

⁸ Put far from me all false and foolish things: do not give me great wealth or let me be in need, but give me only enough food:

²⁸ In the year of the death of King Ahaz this word came to the prophet: ²⁹ Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake. ³⁰ And the poorest of the land will have food, and those in need will be given a safe resting-place: but your seed will come to an end for need of food, and the rest of you will be put to the sword. ³¹ Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line. ³² What answer, then, will my people give to the representatives of the nation? That the Lord is the builder of Zion, and she will be a safe place for the poor of his people.

¹⁰ Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.

¹⁷ The poor and crushed are looking for water where no water is, and their tongue is dry for need of it: I the Lord will give ear to their prayer, I the God of Israel will not give them up.

⁴ Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

³ Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge.

⁶ Because of this, my passion and my wrath were let loose, burning in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are waste and unpeopled as at this day.

²⁰ For this cause give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Edom, and to his purposes designed against the people of Teman: Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.

³ And the sons of Judah were Perez and Zerah by Tamar; and the son of Perez was Hezron; and the son of Hezron was Ram;

¹³ And let us not be put to the test, but keep us safe from the Evil One.

⁷ Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you: ⁸ Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open. ⁹ Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he makes a request for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?

⁷⁵ And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

⁸ For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

³³ The son of Amminadab, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,

⁴² Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.

²⁸ And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

¹⁷ He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

²⁶ To you, first, God sent his servant, blessing you by turning every one of you from his sins.

¹¹ Now these were more noble than the Jews of Thessalonica, for they gave serious attention to the word, searching in the holy Writings every day, to see if these things were so.

²⁶ And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands,

¹² And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name: ¹³ Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation. ¹⁴ But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?

⁹ Let love be without deceit. Be haters of what is evil; keep your minds fixed on what is good.

¹⁹ For all have knowledge of how you do what you are ordered. For this reason I have joy in you, but it is my desire that you may be wise in what is good, and without knowledge of evil.

² To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

¹ But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow. ² For if I give you sorrow, who then will make me glad, but he who is made sad by me? ³ And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all. ⁴ For out of much trouble and pain of heart and much weeping I sent my letter to you; not to give you sorrow, but so that you might see how great is the love which I have to you. ⁵ But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you I say this that I may not be over-hard on you. ⁶ Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him; ⁷ So that now, on the other hand, it is right for him to have forgiveness and comfort from you, for fear that his sorrow may be over-great.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:

²⁰ Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

³⁰ And do not give grief to the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were marked for the day of salvation.

¹⁸ The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

¹⁹ To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
