Now it came H1961 to pass, as David H1732 sat H3427 in his house, H1004 that David H1732 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See, H2009 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedars, H730 but the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 remains under H8478 curtains. H3407

And they departed H5265 from the mount H2022 of the LORD H3068 three H7969 days' H3117 journey: H1870 and the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 went H5265 before H6440 them in the three H7969 days' H3117 journey, H1870 to search H8446 out a resting H4496 place for them.

Take H3947 this H2088 book H5612 of the law, H8451 and put H7760 it in the side H6654 of the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 your God, H430 that it may be there H8033 for a witness H5707 against you.

Then you shall answer H559 them, That the waters H4325 of Jordan H3383 were cut H3772 off before H6440 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD; H3068 when it passed H5674 over H5674 Jordan, H3383 the waters H4325 of Jordan H3383 were cut H3772 off: and these H428 stones H68 shall be for a memorial H2146 to the children H1121 of Israel H3478 for ever. H5769

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 inquired H7592 of the LORD, H3068 (for the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of God H430 was there H8033 in those H1992 days, H3117

And when the people H5971 were come H935 into H413 the camp, H4264 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 said, H559 Why H4100 has the LORD H3068 smitten H5062 us to day H3117 before H6440 the Philistines? H6430 Let us fetch H3947 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 out of Shiloh H7887 to us, that, when it comes H935 among H7130 us, it may save H3467 us out of the hand H3709 of our enemies. H341

And it shall come H1961 to pass, when H3588 you be multiplied H7235 and increased H6509 in the land, H776 in those H1992 days, H3117 said H5002 the LORD, H3068 they shall say H559 no H3808 more, H5750 The ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD: H3068 neither H3808 shall it come H5927 to mind: H3820 neither H3808 shall they remember H2142 it; neither H3808 shall they visit H6485 it; neither H3808 shall that be done H6213 any more. H5750

Which had G2192 the golden G5552 censer, G2369 and the ark G2787 of the covenant G1242 overlaid G4028 round G3840 about G3840 with gold, G5553 wherein G1722 G3757 was the golden G5552 pot G4713 that had G2192 manna, G3131 and Aaron's G2 rod G4464 that budded, G985 and the tables G4109 of the covenant; G1242

And as the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 came H935 into the city H5892 of David, H1732 Michal H4324 Saul's H7586 daughter H1323 looked H8259 through H1157 a window, H2474 and saw H7200 king H4428 David H1732 leaping H6339 and dancing H3769 before H6440 the LORD; H3068 and she despised H959 him in her heart. H3820

Why David H1732 arose H6965 and went, H3212 he and his men, H582 and slew H5221 of the Philistines H6430 two hundred H3967 men; H376 and David H1732 brought H935 their foreskins, H6190 and they gave them in full H4390 tale to the king, H4428 that he might be the king's H4428 son H2859 in law. H2860 And Saul H7586 gave H5414 him Michal H4324 his daughter H1323 to wife. H802

And Saul H7586 saw H7200 and knew H3045 that the LORD H3068 was with David, H1732 and that Michal H4324 Saul's H7586 daughter H1323 loved H157 him.

Saul H7586 also sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David's H1732 house, H1004 to watch H8104 him, and to slay H4191 him in the morning: H1242 and Michal H4324 David's H1732 wife H802 told H5046 him, saying, H559 If H518 you save H4422 not your life H5315 to night, H3915 to morrow H4279 you shall be slain. H4191

And Michal H4324 took H3947 an image, H8655 and laid H7760 it in the bed, H4296 and put H7760 a pillow H3523 of goats' H5795 hair for his bolster, H4763 and covered H3680 it with a cloth. H899

And Saul H7586 sent H7971 the messengers H4397 again to see H7200 David, H1732 saying, H559 Bring H5927 him up to me in the bed, H4296 that I may slay H4191 him.

And Saul H7586 said H559 to Michal, H4324 Why H4100 have you deceived H7411 me so, H3602 and sent H7971 away my enemy, H341 that he is escaped? H4422 And Michal H4324 answered H559 Saul, H7586 He said H559 to me, Let me go; H7971 why H4100 should I kill H4191 you?

But Saul H7586 had given H5414 Michal H4324 his daughter, H1323 David's H1732 wife, H802 to Phalti H6406 the son H1121 of Laish, H3919 which H834 was of Gallim. H1554

And he said, H559 Well; H2896 I will make H3772 a league H1285 with you: but one H259 thing H1697 I require H7592 of you, that is, You shall not see H7200 my face, H6440 except H3588 H518 you first H6440 bring H935 Michal H4324 Saul's H7586 daughter, H1323 when you come H935 to see H7200 my face. H6440

And David H1732 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to Ishbosheth H378 Saul's H7586 son, H1121 saying, H559 Deliver H5414 me my wife H802 Michal, H4324 which H834 I espoused H781 to me for an hundred H3967 foreskins H6190 of the Philistines. H6430

And Miriam H4813 the prophetess, H5031 the sister H269 of Aaron, H175 took H3947 a tambourine H8596 in her hand; H3027 and all H3605 the women H802 went H3318 out after H310 her with tambourines H8596 and with dances. H4246

You have turned H2015 for me my mourning H4553 into dancing: H4234 you have put H6605 off my sackcloth, H8242 and girded H247 me with gladness; H8057

Let them praise H1984 his name H8034 in the dance: H4234 let them sing H2167 praises to him with the tambourine H8596 and harp. H3658

Praise H1984 him with the tambourine H8596 and dance: H4234 praise H1984 him with stringed H4482 instruments H4482 and organs. H5748

A time H6256 to weep, H1058 and a time H6256 to laugh; H7832 a time H6256 to mourn, H5594 and a time H6256 to dance; H7540

And out of them shall proceed H3318 thanksgiving H8426 and the voice H6963 of them that make merry: H7832 and I will multiply H7235 them, and they shall not be few; H4591 I will also glorify H3513 them, and they shall not be small. H6819

The voice H6963 of joy, H8342 and the voice H6963 of gladness, H8057 the voice H6963 of the bridegroom, H2860 and the voice H6963 of the bride, H3618 the voice H6963 of them that shall say, H559 Praise H3034 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635 for the LORD H3068 is good; H2896 for his mercy H2617 endures for ever: H5769 and of them that shall bring H935 the sacrifice of praise H8426 into the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068 For I will cause to return H7725 the captivity H7622 of the land, H776 as at the first, H7223 said H559 the LORD. H3068

Then David H1732 returned H7725 to bless H1288 his household. H1004 And Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 came H3318 out to meet H7125 David, H1732 and said, H559 How H4100 glorious H3513 was the king H4428 of Israel H3478 to day, H3117 who H834 uncovered H1540 himself to day H3117 in the eyes H5869 of the handmaids H519 of his servants, H5650 as one H259 of the vain H7386 fellows shamelessly H1540 uncovers H1540 himself!

And I will yet H5750 be more vile H7043 than thus, H2063 and will be base H8217 in my own sight: H5869 and of the maidservants H519 which H834 you have spoken H559 of, of them shall I be had in honor. H3513

Because H3588 for your sake H5921 I have borne H5375 reproach; H2781 shame H3639 has covered H3680 my face. H6440

For the zeal H7068 of your house H1004 has eaten H398 me up; and the reproaches H2781 of them that reproached H2778 you are fallen H5307 on me.

Others G2087 mocking G5512 said, G3004 These men are full G3325 of new G1098 wine. G1098

But the natural G5591 man G444 receives G1209 not the things of the Spirit G4151 of God: G2316 for they are foolishness G3472 to him: neither G2532 G3756 can G1410 he know G1097 them, because G3754 they are spiritually G4153 discerned. G350

For whether G1535 we be beside G1839 ourselves, it is to God: G2316 or G1535 whether G1535 we be sober, G4993 it is for your G5213 cause.
