1 Chronicles 17:1–18:17
1And it came to pass as David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord [is] under [curtains] of skins. 2And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God [is] with thee. 3And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, [saying], 4Go and say to David my servant, Thus said the Lord, Thou shalt not build me a house for me to dwell in it. 5For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up Israel until this day, but I have been in a tabernacle and a tent, 6in all places through which I have gone with all Israel: did I ever speak to [any] one tribe of Israel whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, [Why is it] that ye have not built me a house of cedar? 7And now thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the sheepfold, from following the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel: 8and I was with thee in all places whither thou wentest, and I destroyed all thine enemies from before thee, and I made for thee a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon the earth. 9And I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant him, and he shall dwell by himself, and shall no longer be anxious; and the son of iniquity shall no longer afflict him, as at the beginning, 10and from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel. Also I have humbled all thine enemies, and I will increase thee, and the Lord will build thee a house. 11And it shall come to pass when thy days shall be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 12He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever. 13I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and my mercy will I not withdraw from him, as I withdrew [it] from them that were before thee. 14And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever. 15According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David. 16And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what [is] my house, that thou hast loved me for ever? 17And these things were little in thy sight, O God: thou hast also spoken concerning the house of thy servant for a long time to come, and thou hast looked upon me as a man looks upon his fellow, and hast exalted me, O Lord God. 18What shall David do more toward thee to glorify [thee]? and thou knowest thy servant. 19And thou hast wrought all this greatness according to thine heart. 20O Lord, there is none like thee, and there is no God beside thee, according to all things which we have heard with our ears. 21Neither is there another nation upon the earth [such] as thy people Israel, whereas God led him in the way, to redeem a people for himself, to make for himself a great and glorious name, to cast out nations from before thy people, whom thou redeemedst out of Egypt. 22And thou hast appointed thy people Israel as a people to thyself for ever; and thou, Lord, didst become a God to them. 23And now, Lord, let the word which thou spokest to thy servant, and concerning his house, be confirmed for ever, and do thou as thou hast spoken. 24And let thy name [be] established and magnified for ever, [men] saying, Lord, Lord, Almighty God of Israel: and [let] the house of thy servant David [be] established before thee. 25For thou, O Lord my God, hast revealed to the ear of thy servant that thou wilt build him a house; therefore thy servant has found a willingness to pray before thee. 26And now, Lord, thou thyself art God, and thou hast spoken these good things concerning thy servant. 27And now thou hast begun to bless the house of thy servant, so that it should continue for ever before thee: for thou, Lord, hast blessed [it], and do thou bless [it] for ever. Chapter 181And it came to pass afterwards, that David smote the Philistines, and routed them, and took Geth and its villages out of the hand of the Philistines. 2And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, [and] tributaries. 3And David smote Adraazar king of Suba of Emath, as he was going to establish power toward the river Euphrates. 4And David took of them a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry: and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but there were reserved of them a hundred chariots. 5And the Syrian came from Damascus to help Adraazar king of Suba; and David smote of the Syrian [army] twenty and two thousand men. 6And David put a garrison in Syria near Damascus; and they became tributary servants to David: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went. 7And David took the golden collars that were on the servants of Adraazar, and brought them to Jerusalem. 8And David took out of Matabeth, and out of the chief cities of Adraazar very much brass: of this Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the brazen vessels. 9And Thoa king of Emath heard that David had smitten the whole force of Adraazar king of Suba. 10And he sent Aduram his son to king David to ask how he was, and to congratulate him because he had fought against Adraazar, and smitten him; for Thoa was the enemy of Adraazar. 11And all the golden and silver and brazen vessels, even these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and the gold which he took from all the nations; from Idumæa, and Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec. 12And Abesa son of Saruia smote the Idumeans in the valley of Salt, eighteen thousand. 13And he put garrisons in the valley; and all the Idumæans became David's servants: and the Lord delivered David wherever he went. 14So David reigned over all Israel; and he executed judgment and justice to all his people. 15And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the army, and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was] recorder. 16And Sadoc son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Susa [was] the scribe; 17and Banæas the son of Jodae [was] over the Cherethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David were the chief deputies of the king.

Psalm 77:17–25(MT: 78)
MT Psalm 78 = LXX Psalm 77 (standard offset).
17And they sinned yet more against him; they provoked the Most High in the wilderness. 18And they tempted God in their hearts, in asking meat for [the desire of] their souls. 19They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness? 20Forasmuch as he smote the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will he be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for his people? 21Therefore the Lord heard, and was provoked: and fire was kindled in Jacob, and wrath went up against Israel. 22Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation. 23Yet he commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24and rained upon them manna to eat, and gave them the bread of heaven. 25Man ate angels' bread; he sent them provision to the full.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 19:25–26
25When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: and if thou reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion. 26He that dishonours his father, and drives away his mother, shall be disgraced and shall be exposed to reproach.
New TestamentKing James Version
Acts 8:1–25
1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. 5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8And there was great joy in that city. 9But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God. 11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. 25And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
