1 Chronicles · Chapter 14
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to Dawid, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
And Dawid perceived that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) had confirmed him king over Yisra'el, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Yisra'el.
And Dawid took more wives at Yerushalayim: and Dawid begat more sons and daughters.
Now these
are the names of
his children which he had in Yerushalayim; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Shelomoh,
And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
And when the Philistines heard that Dawid was anointed king over all Yisra'el, all the Philistines went up to seek Dawid. And Dawid heard
of it, and went out against them.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
And Dawid enquired of Elohim, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
So they came up to Baal-perazim; and Dawid smote them there. Then Dawid said, Elohim hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
And when they had left their gods there, Dawid gave a mitsvah, and they were burned with fire.
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
Therefore Dawid enquired again of Elohim; and Elohim said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees,
that then thou shalt go out to battle: for Elohim is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
Dawid therefore did as Elohim commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
And the fame of Dawid went out into all lands; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) brought the fear of him upon all nations.

And
Dawid made him houses in the city of Dawid, and prepared a place for the ark of Elohim, and pitched for it a tent.
Then Dawid said, None ought to carry the ark of Elohim but the Levites: for them hath 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) chosen to carry the ark of Elohim, and to minister unto him for ever.
And Dawid gathered all Yisra'el together to Yerushalayim, to bring up the ark of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) unto his place, which he had prepared for it.
And Dawid assembled the children of Aharon, and the Levites:
Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twenty:
Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:
Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his brethren an hundred and thirty:
Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred:
Of the sons of Chevron; Eliel the chief, and his brethren fourscore:
Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his brethren an hundred and twelve.
And Dawid called for Zadok and Abiathar the kohanim, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
And said unto them, Ye
are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves,
both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of Yisra'el unto
the place that
I have prepared for it.
For because ye
did it not at the first, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
So the kohanim and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of Yisra'el.
And the children of the Levites bare the ark of Elohim upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Mosheh commanded according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And Dawid spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren
to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
And with them their brethren of the second
degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters.
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan,
were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;
And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;
And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites,
was for song: he instructed about the song, because he
was skilful.
And Berechiah and Elkanah
were doorkeepers for the ark.
And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the kohanim, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of Elohim: and Obed-edom and Jehiah
were doorkeepers for the ark.
So Dawid, and the elders of Yisra'el, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the b'rit of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) out of the house of Obed-edom with joy.
And it came to pass, when Elohim helped the Levites that bare the ark of the b'rit of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
And Dawid
was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: Dawid also
had upon him an ephod of linen.
Thus all Yisra'el brought up the ark of the b'rit of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.
And it came to pass,
as the ark of the b'rit of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came to the city of Dawid, that Michal the daughter of Sha'ul looking out at a window saw king Dawid dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

So they brought the ark of Elohim, and set it in the midst of the tent that Dawid had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before Elohim.
And when Dawid had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And he dealt to every one of Yisra'el, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon
of wine.
And he appointed
certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and to record, and to thank and praise 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of Yisra'el:
Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
Benaiah also and Jahaziel the kohanim with trumpets continually before the ark of the b'rit of Elohim.
Then on that day Dawid delivered first
this psalm to thank 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Give thanks unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) and his strength, seek his face continually.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
O ye seed of Yisra'el his servant, ye children of Ya'aqov, his chosen ones.
He
is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim; his judgments
are in all the earth.
Be ye mindful always of his b'rit; the word
which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Even of the b'rit which he made with Avraham, and of his oath unto Yitschaq;
And hath confirmed the same to Ya'aqov for a torah,
and to Yisra'el
for an everlasting b'rit,
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
And
when they went from nation to nation, and from
one
kingdom to another people;
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my nevi'im no harm.
Sing unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
For great
is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and greatly to be praised: he also
is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the people
are idols: but 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) made the shamayim.
Glory and honour
are in his presence; strength and gladness
are in his place.
Give unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), ye kindreds of the people, give unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) glory and strength.
Give unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) the glory
due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) in the beauty of holiness.
Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Let the shamayim be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let
men
say among the nations, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) reigneth.
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that
is therein.
Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), because he cometh to judge the earth.
O give thanks unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); for
he is good; for his mercy
endureth for ever.
And say ye, Save us, O Elohim of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name,
and glory in thy praise.
Blessed
be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Elohim of Yisra'el for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
So he left there before the ark of the b'rit of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:
And Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah
to be porters:
And Zadok the kohen, and his brethren the kohanim, before the mishkan of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) in the high place that
was at Gibeon,
To offer burnt offerings unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and
to do according to all that is written in the torah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), which he commanded Yisra'el;
And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), because his mercy
endureth for ever;
And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of Elohim. And the sons of Jeduthun
were porters.
And all the people departed every man to his house: and Dawid returned to bless his house.
