Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
1 Chronicles 9:1–10:14
1And [this is] all Israel, [even] their enrolment: and these [are] written down in the book of the kings of Israel and Juda, with the [names of them] that were carried away to Babylon for their transgressions. 2And they that dwelt before in their possessions in the cities of Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the appointed ones. 3And there dwelt in Jerusalem some of the children of Juda, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasse. 4And Gnothi, and the son of Samiud, the son of Amri, the son of Ambraim, the son of Buni, son of the sons of Phares, the son of Juda. 5And of the Selonites; Asaia his first-born, and his sons. 6Of the sons of Zara; Jeel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety. 7And of the sons of Benjamin; Salom, son of Mosollam, son of Odouia, son of Asinu. 8And Jemnaa son of Jeroboam, and Elo: these [are] the sons of Ozi the son of Machir: and Mosollam, son of Saphatia, son of Raguel, son of Jemnai; 9and their brethren according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six, all the men [were] heads of families according to the houses of their fathers. 10And of the priests; Jodaë, and Joarim, and Jachin, 11and Azaria the son of Chelcias, the son of Mosollam, the son of Sadoc, the son of Maraïoth, the son of Achitob, the ruler of the house of God; 12and Adaia son of Iraam, son of Phascor, son of Melchia, and Maasaia son of Adiel, son of Ezira, son of Mosollam, son of Maselmoth, son of Emmer; 13and their brethren, chiefs of their families, a thousand seven hundred and sixty, mighty [men] for the work of the ministration of the house of God. 14And of the Levites; Samaia son of Asob, son of Ezricam, son of Asabia, of the sons of Merari. 15And Bacbacar, and Ares, and Galaal, and Matthanias son of Micha, son of Zechri, son of Asaph; 16and Abdia, son of Samia, son of Galaal, son of Idithun, and Barachia son of Ossa, son of Helcana—who dwelt in the villages of the Notephatites. 17The door-keepers; Salom, Acum, Telmon, and Diman, and their brethren; Salom [was] the chief; 18and [he waited] hitherto in the king's gate eastward: these [are] the gates of the companies of the sons of Levi. 19And Sellum the son of Core, the son of Abiasaph, the son of Core, and his brethren belonging to the house of his father, the Corites [were] over the works of the service, keeping the watches of the tabernacle, and their fathers over the camp of the Lord, keeping the entrance. 20And Phinees son of Eleazar was head over them before the Lord, and these [were] with him. 21Zacharias the son of Mosollami [was] keeper of the door of the tabernacle of witness. 22All the chosen porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve, these [were] in their courts, [this was] their distribution: these David and Samuel the seer established in their charge. 23And these and their sons [were] over the gates in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the tabernacle, to keep watch. 24The gates were toward the four winds, eastward, westward, northward, southward. 25And their brethren [were] in their courts, to enter in weekly from time to time with these. 26For four strong [men] have the charge of the gates; and the Levites were over the chambers, and they keep watch over the treasures of the house of God. 27For the charge [was] upon them, and these [were] charged with the keys to open the doors of the temple every morning. 28And [some] of them [were appointed] over the vessels of service, that they should carry them in by number, and carry them out by number. 29And [some] of them [were] appointed over the furniture, and over all the holy vessels, and over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices. 30And some of the priests were makers of the ointment, and [appointed to prepare] the spices. 31And Matthathias of the Levites, (he [was] the first-born of Salom the Corite,) [was set] in charge over the sacrifices of meat-offering of the pan belonging to the high priest. 32And Banaias the Caathite, from among their brethren, [was set] over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath. 33And these [were] the singers, heads of families of the Levites, [to whom were] established daily courses, for they were employed in the services day and night. 34These [were] the heads of the families of the Levites according to their generations; these chiefs dwelt in Jerusalem. 35And Jeël the father of Gabaon dwelt in Gabaon; and his wife's name [was] Moöcha. 36And his first-born son [was] Abdon, and [he had] Sur, and Kis, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab, 37and Gedur and [his] brother, and Zacchur, and Makeloth. 38And Makeloth begot Samaa: and these dwelt in the midst of their brethren in Jerusalem, [even] in the midst of their brethren. 39And Ner begot Kis, and Kis begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, and Melchisue, and Aminadab, and Asabal. 40And the son of Jonathan [was] Meribaal: and Meribaal begot Micha. 41And the sons of Micha [were] Phithon and Malach, and Tharach. 42And Achaz begot Jada: and Jada begot Galemeth, and Gazmoth, and Zambri; and Zambri begot Massa. 43And Massa begot Baana, and Rhaphaïa [was] his son, Elasa his son, Esel his son. 44And Esel had six sons, and these [were] their names; Esricam his first-born, and Ismael, and Saraia, and Abdia, and Anan, and Asa: these [were] the sons of Esel. Chapter 101Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue. 2And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul. 3And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows. 4And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 5And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword. 6So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time. 7And all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, and they left their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 8And it came to pass on the next [day] that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gelbue. 9And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people. 10And they put their armour in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon. 11And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel. 12And all the mighty men rose up from Galaad, and they took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabis, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabis, and fasted seven days. 13So Saul died for his transgressions, wherein he transgressed against God, against the word of the Lord, forasmuch as he kept [it] not, because Saul enquired of a wizard to seek [counsel], and Samuel the prophet answered him: 14and he sought not the Lord: so he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

Psalm 76:10–15(MT: 77)
MT Psalm 77 = LXX Psalm 76 (standard offset).
10They kept not the covenant of God, and would not walk in his law. 11And they forgot his benefits, and his miracles which he [had] shewed them; 12the miracles which he wrought before their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the plain of Tanes. 13He clave the sea, and led them through: he made the waters to stand as [in] a bottle. 14And he guided them with a cloud by day, and all the night with a light of fire. 15He clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 19:15–16
15Cowardice possesses the effeminate [man]; and the soul of the sluggard shall hunger. 16He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall perish.
New TestamentKing James Version
Acts 6:1–15
1And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 3Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. 5And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: 6Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 7And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. 8And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 9Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 10And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. 11Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 12And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, 13And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 14For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. 15And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
