And as soon as David H1732 had made an end H3615 of offering H5927 burnt H5930 offerings and peace H8002 offerings, he blessed H1288 the people H5971 in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635

For I know H3045 him, that he will command H6680 his children H1121 and his household H1004 after H310 him, and they shall keep H8104 the way H1870 of the LORD, H3068 to do H6213 justice H6666 and judgment; H4941 that the LORD H3068 may bring H935 on Abraham H85 that which H834 he has spoken H1696 of him.

And if H518 it seem H1961 H5869 evil H7489 to you to serve H5647 the LORD, H3068 choose H977 you this day H3117 whom H4310 you will serve; H5647 whether H518 the gods H430 which H834 your fathers H1 served H5647 that were on the other H5676 side H5676 of the flood, H5104 or the gods H430 of the Amorites, H567 in whose H834 land H776 you dwell: H3427 but as for me and my house, H1004 we will serve H5647 the LORD. H3068

And all H3605 the people H5971 departed H3212 every man H376 to his house: H1004 and David H1732 returned H5437 to bless H1288 his house. H1004

A Psalm H4210 and Song H7892 at the dedication H2598 of the house H1004 of David. H1732 I will extol H7311 you, O LORD; H3068 for you have lifted H1802 me up, and have not made my foes H341 to rejoice H8055 over me.

I will behave H7919 myself wisely H7919 in a perfect H8549 way. H1870 O when H4970 will you come H935 to me? I will walk H1980 within H7130 my house H1004 with a perfect H8537 heart. H3824

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

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.

And when his friends G3588 G3844 heard G191 of it, they went G1831 out to lay hold G2902 on him: for they said, G3004 He is beside G1839 himself.

Now Tobiah H2900 the Ammonite H5984 was by him, and he said, H559 Even H1571 that which H834 they build, H1129 if H518 a fox H7776 go H5927 up, he shall even break H6565 down their stone H68 wall. H2346

Hear, H8085 O our God; H430 for we are despised: H939 and turn H7725 their reproach H2781 on their own head, H7218 and give H5414 them for a prey H961 in the land H776 of captivity: H7633

For he shall grow H5927 up before H6440 him as a tender H3126 plant, and as a root H8328 out of a dry H6723 ground: H776 he has no H3808 form H8389 nor H3808 comeliness; H1926 and when we shall see H7200 him, there is no H3808 beauty H4758 that we should desire H2530 him.

He is despised H959 and rejected H2310 of men; H376 a man H376 of sorrows, H4341 and acquainted H3045 with grief: H2483 and we hid H5641 as it were our faces H6440 from him; he was despised, H959 and we esteemed H2803 him not.

Then G3767 comes G2064 he to Simon G4613 Peter: G4074 and Peter said G3004 to him, Lord, G2962 do you wash G3538 my feet? G4228

We are fools G3474 for Christ's G5547 sake, but you are wise G5429 in Christ; G5547 we are weak, G772 but you are strong; G2478 you are honorable, G1741 but we are despised. G820

And labor, G2872 working G2038 with our own G2398 hands: G5495 being reviled, G3058 we bless; G2127 being persecuted, G1377 we suffer G430 it:

But made G1096 himself G1438 of no G5013 reputation, G2758 and took G2983 on him the form G3444 of a servant, G1401 and was made G1096 in the likeness G3667 of men: G444

And being found G2147 in fashion G4976 as a man, G444 he humbled G5013 himself, G1438 and became G1096 obedient G5255 to death, G2288 even G1161 the death G2288 of the cross. G4716

And David H1732 danced H3769 before H6440 the LORD H3068 with all H3605 his might; H5797 and David H1732 was girded H2296 with a linen H906 ephod. H646

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

And he went H3212 thither H8033 to Naioth H5121 in Ramah: H7414 and the Spirit H7307 of God H430 was on him also, H1571 and he went H3212 on, and prophesied, H5012 until H5704 he came H935 to Naioth H5121 in Ramah. H7414

And he stripped H6584 off his clothes H899 also, H1571 and prophesied H5012 before H6440 Samuel H8050 in like H1571 manner, H1571 and lay H5307 down naked H6174 all H3605 that day H3117 and all H3605 that night. H3915 Why H5921 H3651 they say, H559 Is Saul H7586 also H1571 among the prophets? H5030

And they gave H5414 him three score H7657 and ten pieces of silver H3701 out of the house H1004 of Baalberith, H1170 with which Abimelech H40 hired H7936 vain H7386 and light H6348 persons, H582 which followed H3212 H310 him.

They were children H1121 of fools, H5036 yes, H1571 children H1121 of base H1097 H8034 men: they were viler H5217 than H4480 the earth. H776
