                                    Chapter 5


  1. Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and
     spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

  2. Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he
     that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said
     to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be
     a captain over Israel.

  3. So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and
     king David made a league with them in Hebron before the
     LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.

  4. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he
     reigned forty years.

  5. In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months:
     and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all
     Israel and Judah.

  6. And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the
     Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto
     David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame,
     thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come
     in hither.

  7. Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is
     the city of David.

  8. And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the
     gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the
     blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and
     captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall
     not come into the house.

  9. So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David.
     And David built round about from Millo and inward.

 10. And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts
     was with him.

 11. And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar
     trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an
     house.

 12. And David perceived that the LORD had established him king
     over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his
     people Israel's sake.

 13. And David took him more concubines and wives out of
     Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet
     sons and daughters born to David.

 14. And these be the names of those that were born unto him in
     Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

 15. Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

 16. And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

 17. But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David
     king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David;
     and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.

 18. The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the
     valley of Rephaim.

 19. And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the
     Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the
     LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver
     the Philistines into thine hand.

 20. And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there,
     and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies
     before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the
     name of that place Baalperazim.

 21. And there they left their images, and David and his men
     burned them.

 22. And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves
     in the valley of Rephaim.

 23. And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not
     go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them
     over against the mulberry trees.

 24. And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the
     tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir
     thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to
     smite the host of the Philistines.

 25. And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote
     the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.


                                    Chapter 6


  1. Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel,
     thirty thousand.

  2. And David arose, and went with all the people that were with
     him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of
     God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts
     that dwelleth between the cherubims.

  3. And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it
     out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah
     and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

  4. And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was
     at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before
     the ark.

  5. And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD
     on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on
     harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets,
     and on cymbals.

  6. And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put
     forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for
     the oxen shook it.

  7. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God
     smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark
     of God.

  8. And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach
     upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah
     to this day.

  9. And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How
     shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

 10. So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into
     the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house
     of Obededom the Gittite.

 11. And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom
     the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and
     all his household.

 12. And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed
     the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him,
     because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the
     ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David
     with gladness.

 13. And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD
     had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

 14. And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and
     David was girded with a linen ephod.

 15. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of
     the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

 16. And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David,
     Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king
     David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised
     him in her heart.

 17. And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his
     place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched
     for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace
     offerings before the LORD.

 18. And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt
     offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the
     name of the LORD of hosts.

 19. And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole
     multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every
     one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon
     of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

 20. Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the
     daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How
     glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered
     himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants,
     as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

 21. And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which
     chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to
     appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel:
     therefore will I play before the LORD.

 22. And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in
     mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast
     spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

 23. Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the
     day of her death.
