¹ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Until when will you mourn for Saul, for I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have seen a king for Me among his sons.

³ And you invite Jesse to the sacrifice. And I will make you know what you shall do. And you shall anoint for Me whomever I say to you.

¹² And he sent and brought him in. And he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and good form. And Jehovah said, Rise up, anoint him, for this is he. ¹³ And Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon David from that day and onward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.

¹⁸ And now do it . For Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By the hand of My servant David He will save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

¹ And all the tribes of Israel came to David, to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are your bone and we are your flesh. ² Both yesterday and the day before, when Saul was king over us, you were he who led out and brought in Israel. And Jehovah said to you, You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be for a leader over Israel. ³ And all the elders of Israel came to the king, to Hebron. And king David cut a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah. And they anointed David as king over Israel.

¹⁴ and did not inquire of Jehovah. Then He killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

⁶ Yea, I have set My king on My holy mount on Zion.

¹⁹ Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one; and You said, I have laid help on a mighty one. I have exalted a chosen one from the people. ²⁰ I have found My servant David; I have anointed him with My holy oil.

⁴ And in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent and called the rulers of the hundreds, with the Carites and the runners. And he brought them to him into the house of Jehovah, and cut a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah. And he revealed the king's son to them.

⁹ And the rulers of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men, going in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, and came in to Jehoiada the priest.

¹⁸ And the chief of the executioners took Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the gate;

⁴⁹ But Aaron and his sons offered on the altar of burnt offering, and on the altar of incense, for all the work of the Most Holy Place, and to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded. ⁵⁰ And these were the sons of Aaron: Eleazar, his son; Phinehas, his son; Abishua, his son; ⁵¹ Bukki, his son; Uzzi, his son; Zerahiah, his son; ⁵² Meraioth, his son; Amariah, his son; Ahitub, his son; ⁵³ Zadok, his son; Ahimaaz, his son. ⁵⁴ And these are their dwelling places by their camps, within their borders, of the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites, for the lot was theirs. ⁵⁵ And they gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, and its open lands all around it. ⁵⁶ But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh. ⁵⁷ And to the sons of Aaron, they gave the cities of refuge: Hebron, and Libnah and its open lands; and Jattir, and Eshtemoa and its open lands;

²⁰ And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past, and Jehovah was with him.

¹⁷ Hashabiah the son of Kemuel was over the Levites; Zadok over the Aaronites.

¹⁷ and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests; and Seraiah was scribe;

⁸ But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who were to David, were not with Adonijah.

³⁵ And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army. And the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

⁸ and Ahitub fathered Zadok; and Zadok fathered Ahimaaz;

⁵³ Zadok, his son; Ahimaaz, his son.

¹⁵ But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister to Me. And they shall stand before Me to bring near to Me the fat and the blood, declares the Lord Jehovah.

²³ And he took his brothers with him and pursued him, seven days journey. And he overtook him in Mount Gilead.

⁸ And Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the Saul's army, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and caused him to cross over to Mahanaim. ⁹ And he caused him to reign over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

² right and left-handed, armed with bows, with stones, and with arrows, with the bow from the brothers of Saul, of Benjamin.

⁴ The giants were in the earth in those days, and even afterwards when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore to them; they were heroes which existed from ancient time, the men of name.

¹ And the lot came for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the first-born of Joseph, to Machir the first-born of Manasseh, father of Gilead, for he had been a man of battle, and he had Gilead and Bashan. ² And there was a lot remaining for the sons of Manasseh, for their families, for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida; these being the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. ³ But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters. And these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ⁴ And they drew near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance among our brothers; and at the mouth of Jehovah he gave to them an inheritance among their father's brothers. ⁵ And ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides that from the land of Gilead and Bashan beyond the Jordan; ⁶ because the daughters of Manasseh had inherited an inheritance among his sons; and the land of Gilead belonged to the sons of Manasseh who remained. ⁷ And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, which fronts on Shechem. And the border went up to the right to the inhabitants of Entappuah. ⁸ The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the sons of Ephraim. ⁹ And the border went down to the river Kanah, south of the river; these cities of Ephraim were in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, and the border of Manasseh was on the north of the river, and its boundary line was at the sea. ¹⁰ Southward, it was Ephraim's. And northward, it was Manasseh's, and the sea was its border. And they met in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east. ¹¹ And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean and its daughter-villages, and Ibleam and its daughter-villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its daughter-villages, and the inhabitants of Endor and its daughter-villages, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its daughter-villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its daughter-villages; three regions. ¹² But the sons of Manasseh had not been able to occupy these cities, for the Canaanite determined to live in this land. ¹³ And it happened, when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not completely expel them. ¹⁴ And the sons of Joseph spoke with Joshua, saying, Why have you given to me one lot and one portion as an inheritance, since I am a numerous people? For Jehovah has blessed me until now. ¹⁵ And Joshua said to them, If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest for yourself, and you shall cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzite, and of the giants, if Mount Ephraim is too narrow for you. ¹⁶ And the sons of Joseph said, The hills will not be found for us. And every Canaanite who lives in the land of the valley has a chariot of iron, those that are of Beth-shean and its daughter-villages, and of him who is in the valley of Jezreel. ¹⁷ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, You are a numerous people, and have great power; you shall not have one lot, ¹⁸ because the hill is yours; because it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and its outer limits shall be yours; for you shall expel the Canaanite, even though it has chariots of iron; even though it is strong.

¹⁴ Issachar is a strong ass, crouching between the sheepfolds.

¹³ And the king said to the wise men who knew the times (for so was the king's manner toward all who knew law and judgment;

⁸ The wisdom of the wise is to understand his way, but the foolishness of fools is deceit.

⁵ A wise warrior is in strength: yes, a man of knowledge firms up power.

¹⁹ Wisdom makes the wise stronger than ten rulers who are in the city.

¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of conflict; but one sinner destroys much good.

¹² And in that day the Lord Jehovah of Hosts called to weeping and mourning; and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth. ¹³ Then, lo, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and slaughtering sheep; eating flesh and drinking wine, saying, Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die! ¹⁴ And Jehovah of Hosts revealed in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be covered for you until you die, says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

⁶ And He will be the security of your times, strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of Jehovah is His treasure.

⁹ The voice of Jehovah calls out to the city; and one of sound wisdom will see Your name. Hear the rod, and Him who appointed it.

³ And at morning, Today a storm, for the sky is red, being overcast. Hypocrites! You indeed know how to discern the face of the heaven, but you cannot the signs of the times.

⁵⁶ Hypocrites! You know to discern the face of the earth and of the heaven, but how is it you do not discern this time? ⁵⁷ And why do you not judge what is right even of yourselves?

¹⁷ For this reason, do not be foolish, but understanding what the will of the Lord is .

² They speak vanity, each man with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and said concerning him, Behold, truly an Israelite in whom is no guile!

³³ Of Zebulun, going forth to the army, that could set the battle in array with all kinds of weapons of war, fifty thousand; and keeping rank without a double heart.

⁷ They shall run as mighty ones; they shall go up the wall as men of war. And they each go on his way, and they do not change their paths.

³³ And Moses gave to them, even to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan the land, by its cities with their borders, even the cities of the land all around. ³⁴ And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, ³⁵ and Ataroth-shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, ³⁶ and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities, and folds for sheep. ³⁷ And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, ³⁸ and Nebo, and Baal-meon, their names being changed, and Sibmah. And they called by name the names of the cities which they had built. ³⁹ And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and expelled the Amorite who was in it. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh, and he lived in it. ⁴¹ And Jair the son of Manasseh went out and captured their towns, and called them Towns of Jair. ⁴² And Nobah went and took Kenath and its villages; and he called it Nobah after his own name.

¹² And we possessed this land at that time: from Aroer by the valley of Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead And its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites. ¹³ And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, to all Bashan that is called the land of the giants. ¹⁴ Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Towns of Jair, until today. ¹⁵ And I gave Gilead to Machir. ¹⁶ And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of Arnon, the middle of the valley and its border; even to the Jabbok River, which is the border of the sons of Ammon;

⁷ Now, then, divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh. ⁸ With him the Reubenites, and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave to them beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of Jehovah has given to them; ⁹ from Aroer on the lip of the river Arnon, and the city which is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba, to Dibon; ¹⁰ and all the cities of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the sons of Ammon; ¹¹ and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites, and of the Maachathite, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah; ¹² all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei; he remained of the remnant of the giants. And Moses struck them and expelled them. ¹³ But the sons of Israel did not expel the Geshurites and the Maachathite, but Geshur and Maachathites live in the midst of Israel until today. ¹⁴ Only, he has not given an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The fire offerings of Jehovah the God of Israel are its inheritance, as He has spoken to it. ¹⁵ And Moses gave to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, for their families; ¹⁶ and their border was from Aroer on the lip of the river Arnon, and the city which is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba; ¹⁷ Heshbon, and all its cities in the tableland; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon; ¹⁸ and Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath; ¹⁹ and Kirjath-aim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the mountain of the valley; ²⁰ and Beth-peor, and the Slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth; ²¹ and all the cities of the tableland, and all the kingdom of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the rulers of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, chiefs of Sihon, the inhabitants of the land. ²² And the sons of Israel killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword, among their slain. ²³ And the border of the sons of Reuben was from the Jordan, and its border. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben for their families, the cities and their villages. ²⁴ And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, for their families: ²⁵ And their border was to Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half of the land of the sons of Ammon, to Aroer, which is before Rabbah; ²⁶ and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir; ²⁷ and in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon the king of Heshbon; the Jordan and its border, to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan, eastward. ²⁸ This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, for their families, the cities and their villages. ²⁹ And Moses gave inheritance to the half tribe of Manasseh. And it was to the half of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, for their families: ³⁰ and their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og the king of Bashan, and all the small towns of Jair in Bashan, sixty cities; ³¹ and the half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, belonged to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to the half of the sons of Machir for their families. ³² These are they whom Moses caused to inherit in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho, eastward.

³ for Moses had given the inheritance of two of the tribes and the half tribe, beyond the Jordan; and he did not give any inheritance to the Levites among them.

¹ Then Joshua called for the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, ² and said to them, You have done all that which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you. And you have listened to my voice, to all that I have commanded you. ³ You have not left your brothers these many days until today, and have kept the observance of the command of Jehovah your God. ⁴ And now Jehovah your God has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them. And now you turn and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given to you beyond the Jordan. ⁵ Only, be very much on guard to do the commands and the law which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul. ⁶ And Joshua blessed them and sent them away. And they went to their tents. ⁷ And to the half tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given possession in Bashan. And to its other half Joshua had given possession with their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. And also when Joshua had sent them away to their tents, then he blessed them. ⁸ And he spoke to them, saying, You are returning to your tents with great treasures, and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers. ⁹ And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh turned and left the sons of Israel from Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession in which they have possession, according to the command of Jehovah by the hand of Moses. ¹⁰ And when they came to the regions of the Jordan in the land of Canaan, then the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, an altar of grand appearance.

¹ And the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel (for he was the first-born; but since he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be counted according to the birthright; ² for Judah prevailed among his brothers, and from him was the chief ruler, but the birthright was Joseph's) ³ the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. ⁴ The sons of Joel: Shemaiah, his son; Gog, his son; Shimei, his son; ⁵ Micah, his son; Reaiah, his son; Baal, his son; ⁶ Beerah, his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria exiled. He was ruler of the men of Reuben. ⁷ And his brothers by their families, in the genealogy of their generations: Jeiel the chief; also Zechariah; ⁸ and Bela, the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal-meon. ⁹ And he lived as far to the east as to the entrance of the wilderness from the Euphrates River, because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead. ¹⁰ And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, and they fell by their hand. And they lived in their tents, to all the face of the east of Gilead.

⁸ Judah, may your brothers praise you, your hand be on the neck of your enemies. May the sons of your father bow themselves to you. ⁹ Judah is a lion's whelp. My son, you have risen up from the prey; he stoops, he crouches like a lion; and like a lioness, who can rouse him? ¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the lawmaker from between his feet, until Shiloh come, and the obedience of the peoples to him.

⁶¹ let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day.

⁴ And it happened, at the time Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of his father David.

³ I pray to You, O Jehovah, please remember how I have walked always before your face in truth, and with a perfect heart, and I have done the good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.

¹⁷ And David went out before them, and answered and said to them, If you have come to me for peace, to help me, I have a heart to unite with yours. But if to betray me to my foe, there is no violence in my hand; the God of our fathers shall see and reprove. ¹⁸ And the Spirit enwrapped Amasai, the head of the thirty: To you, O David, and with you, O son of Jesse, peace! Peace to you, and peace to your helpers, for your God has helped you. And David received them, and put them among the heads of the band.

¹² Also, in Judah the hand of God was to give to them one heart to do the king's command, and of the leaders, by the word of Jehovah.

² I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way; O when will You come to me? I will walk in the integrity of my heart in the midst of my house.

³ Your people shall be willing in the day of Your power; in holy adornment from the womb of the dawn, to You is the dew of Your youth.

¹⁹ And I shall give to them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh, and I will give them a heart of flesh,

³⁰ And he made a feast for them, and they ate and drank.

⁵⁴ And Jacob sacrificed a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brothers to eat bread. And they ate bread and stayed on the mountain.

¹⁹ And he shared out to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man even to woman, to each one cake of bread and one date cake and one raisin cake. And all the people left, each one to his house.

⁴² And, behold, all the men of Judah answered against the men of Israel, Because the king is near to us. And why is this that you are angry about this matter? Have we at all eaten from the king, or has he given a gift to us?

¹⁸ And Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five prepared sheep, and five measures of roasted grain, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs. And she set them on the asses.

¹ And David had passed on a little from the top. And behold, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to meet him with a couple of saddled asses, and on them two hundred loaves and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruit, and a bottle of wine.

²⁷ And it happened as David came into Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim, ²⁸ brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted grain, and beans, and lentils, and roasted grain, ²⁹ and honey, and curds and sheep, and cheese from the herd, for David, and for the people who were with him to eat. For they said, The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.

⁴⁰ And all the people came up after him. And the people were piping with pipes, and rejoicing with great joy. And the earth was torn with their sound.

²⁰ And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And they had slain Athaliah by the sword in the king's house.

¹⁰ When the righteous prospers, the city rejoices; and at the wicked's perishing is singing.

² When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people sigh.

⁵ Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and shall do justice and righteousness in the earth. ⁶ In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His name by which He shall be called, Jehovah our Righteousness.

³⁷ And as He was already drawing near to the descent of the Mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice concerning all the works of power which they saw, ³⁸ saying, "Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord," the King. Peace in Heaven, and glory in the highest! Psa. 118:26

⁵ And a voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all His slaves, and the ones fearing Him, the small and the great. ⁶ And I heard as a sound of a numerous crowd, and as a sound of many waters, and as a sound of strong thunders, saying, Hallelujah! Because the Lord God Almighty reigned. ⁷ Let us rejoice and let us exult, and we will give glory to Him, because the marriage of the Lamb came, and His wife prepared herself.
