1 Chronicles 11:1–12:40
1And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bones and thy flesh. 2And heretofore when Saul was king, thou wast he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a ruler over Israel. 3And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel. 4And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this [is] Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David, 5Thou shalt not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David. 6And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief. 7And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David. 8And he fortified the city round about. 9And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him. 10And these [are] the chiefs of the mighty men, whom David had, who strengthened [themselves] with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel. 11And this [is] the list of the mighty [men] of David; Jesebada, son of Achaman, first of the thirty: he drew his sword once against three hundred whom he slew at one time. 12And after him Eleazar son of Dodai, the Achochite: he was among the three mighty men. 13He was with David in Phasodamin, and the Philistines were gathered there to battle, and [there was] a portion of the field full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines. 14And he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance. 15And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Odollam, and the camp of the Philistines [was] in the giants' valley. 16And David [was] then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem. 17And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that is in the gate? 18And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said, 19God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives? for with [the peril of] their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty [men]. 20And Abisa the brother of Joab, he was chief of three: he drew his sword against three hundred slain at one time, and he had a name among the [second] three. 21He was more famous than the two [others] of the three, and he was chief [over] them; yet he reached not to the [first] three. 22And Banaia the son of Jodae was the son of a mighty man: many [were] his acts for Cabasael: he smote two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and smote a lion in a pit on a snowy day. 23And he smote an Egyptian, a wonderful man five cubits [high]; and in the hand of the Egyptian [there was] a spear like a weavers' beam; and Banaia went down to him with a staff, and took the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear. 24These things did Banaia son of Jodae, and his name [was] among the three mighties. 25He was distinguished beyond the thirty, yet he reached not to the [first] three: and David set him over his family. 26And the mighty [men] of the forces [were], Asael the brother of Joab, Eleanan the son of Dodoe of Bethleem, 27Samaoth the Arorite, Chelles the Phelonite, 28Ora the son of Ekkis the Thecoite, Abiezer the Anathothite, 29Sobochai the Usathite, Eli the Achonite, 30Marai the Netophathite, Chthaod the son of Nooza the Netophathite, 31Airi the son of Rebie of the hill of Benjamin, Banaias the Pharathonite, 32Uri of Nachali Gaas, Abiel the Garabæthite, 33Azbon the Baromite, Eliaba the Salabonite, 34the son of Asam the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Sola the Ararite, 35Achim the son of Achar the Ararite, Elphat the son of Thyrophar 36the Mechorathrite, Achia the Phellonite, 37Esere the Charmadaite, Naarai the son of Azobai, 38Joel the son of Nathan, Mebaal son of Agari, 39Sele the son of Ammoni, Nachor the Berothite, armour-bearer to the son of Saruia, 40Ira the Jethrite, Gaber the Jethrite, 41Uria the Chettite, Zabet son of Achaia, 42Adina son of Sæza, a chief of Ruben, and thirty with him, 43Anan the son of Moöcha, and Josaphat the Matthanite, 44Ozia the Astarothite, Samatha and Jeiel sons of Chotham the Ararite, 45Jediel the son of Sameri, and Jozae his brother the Thosaite, 46Eliel the Maoite, and Jaribi, and Josia his son, Ellaam, and Jethama the Moabite, 47Daliel, and Obeth, and Jessiel of Mesobia. Chapter 121And these [are] they that came to Sikelag, when he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kis; and these [were] among the mighty, aiding [him] in war, 2and [using] the bow with the right hand and with the left, and slingers with stones, and [shooters] with bows. Of the brethren of Saul of Benjamin, 3the chief [was] Achiezer, and Joas son of Asma the Gabathite, and Joel and Jophalet, sons of Asmoth, and Berchia, and Jeul of Anathoth, 4and Samaias the Gabaonite a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; 5[and] Jeremia, and Jeziel, and Joanan, and Jozabath of Gadarathiim, 6Azai and Arimuth, and Baalia, and Samaraia, and Saphatias of Charæphiel, 7Helcana, and Jesuni, and Ozriel, and Jozara, and Sobocam, and the Corites, 8and Jelia and Zabadia, sons of Iroam, and the [men] of Gedor. 9And from Gad these separated themselves to David from the wilderness, strong mighty men of war, bearing shields and spears, and their faces [were as] the face of a lion, and they were nimble as roes upon the mountains in speed. 10Aza the chief, Abdia the second, Eliab the third, 11Masmana the fourth, Jeremias the fifth, 12Jethi the sixth, Eliab the seventh, 13Joanan the eighth, Eleazer the ninth, 14Jeremia the tenth, Melchabanai the eleventh. 15These [were] chiefs of the army of the sons of Gad, the least one commander of a hundred, and the greatest one of a thousand. 16These [are] the [men] that crossed over Jordan in the first month, and it had overflowed all its banks; and they drove out all the inhabitants of the valleys, from the east to the west. 17And there came [some] of the sons of Benjamin and Juda to the assistance of David. 18And David went out to meet them, and said to them, If ye are come peaceably to me, let my heart be at peace with you: but if [ye are come] to betray me to my enemies unfaithfully, the God of your fathers look upon it, and reprove it. 19And the Spirit came upon Amasai, a captain of the thirty, and he said, Go, David, son of Jesse, thou and thy people, peace, peace be to thee, and peace to thy helpers, for thy God has helped thee. And David received them, and made them captains of the forces. 20And [some] came to David from Manasse, when the Philistines came against Saul to war: and he helped them not, because the captains of the Philistines took counsel, saying, With the heads of those men will he return to his master Saul. 21When David was going to Sikelag, there came to him of Manasse, Edna and Jozabath, and Rodiel, and Michael, and Josabaith, and Elimuth, and Semathi: [these] are the captains of thousands of Manasse. 22And they fought on the side of David against a troop, for they [were] all men of might; and they were commanders in the army, [because] of [their] might. 23For daily men came to David, [till they amounted] to a great force, as the force of God. 24And these [are] the names of the commanders of the army, who came to David to Chebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him according to the word of the Lord. 25The sons of Juda, bearing shields and spears, six thousand and eight hundred mighty in war. 26Of the sons of Symeon mighty for battle, seven thousand and a hundred. 27Of the sons of Levi, four thousand and six hundred. 28And Joadas the chief [of the family] of Aaron, and with him three thousand and seven hundred. 29And Sadoc, a young [man] mighty in strength, and [there were] twenty-two leaders of his father's house. 30And of the sons of Benjamin, the brethren of Saul, three thousand: and still the greater part of them kept the guard of the house of Saul. 31And of the sons of Ephraim, twenty thousand and eight hundred mighty men, famous in the houses of their fathers. 32And of the half-tribe of Manasse, eighteen thousand, even [those] who were named by name, to make David king. 33And of the sons of Issachar having wisdom with regard to the times, knowing what Israel should do, two hundred; and all their brethren with them. 34And of Zabulon they that went out to battle, with all weapons of war, [were] fifty thousand to help David, not weak-handed. 35And of Nephthali a thousand captains, and with them [men] with shields and spears, thirty-seven thousand. 36And of the Danites [men] ready for war twenty-eight thousand and eight hundred. 37And of Aser, they that went out to give aid in war, forty thousand. 38And from the country beyond Jordan, from Ruben, and the Gadites, and from the half-tribe of Manasse, a hundred and twenty thousand, with all weapons of war. 39All these [were] men of war, setting [the army] in battle array, with a peaceful mind [towards him], and they came to Chebron to make David king over all Israel: and the rest of Israel [were of] one mind to make David king. 40And they were there three days eating and drinking, for their brethren [had] made preparations.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 76:16–20(MT: 77)
MT Psalm 77 = LXX Psalm 76 (standard offset).
16Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Pause. 17The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee, and feared; and the depths were troubled. 18[There was] an abundant sound of waters: the clouds uttered a voice; for thine arrows went abroad. 19The voice of thy thunder was abroad, and around thy lightnings appeared to the world; the earth trembled and quaked. 20Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thy footsteps cannot be known.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 19:17–19
17He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; and he will recompense to him according to his gift. 18Chasten thy son, for so he shall be hopeful; and be not exalted in thy soul to haughtiness. 19A malicious man shall be severely punished, and if he commit injury, he shall also lose his life.
New TestamentKing James Version
Acts 7:1–21
1Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 2And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, 3And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 4Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 5And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 6And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 7And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. 8And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. 9And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 10And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. 12But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first. 13And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. 14Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls. 15So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, 16And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. 17But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 18Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. 19The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. 20In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months: 21And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
