Bible Reading for April 05

2 Samuel 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; Shammua, 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 inquired 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 Baal-perazim, 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 Baal-perazim. [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 inquired 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.

2 Samuel 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 Perez-uzzah 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 Obed-edom the Gittite. [11]
And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three
months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his household. [12] And it was
told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, 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 Obed-edom 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.

2 Samuel 7
[1] And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given
him rest round about from all his enemies; [2] That the king said unto Nathan
the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth
within curtains. [3] And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine
heart; for the LORD is with thee.
[4] And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan,
saying,
[5] Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an
house for me to dwell in?
[6] Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the
children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent
and in a tabernacle.
[7] In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel
spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my
people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar? [8] Now therefore
so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took
thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people,
over Israel: [9] And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut
off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like
unto the name of the great men that are in the earth. [10] Moreover I will
appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell
in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of
wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime, [11] And as since the time
that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to
rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee
an house. [12] And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy
fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy
bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
[13] He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his
kingdom for ever.
[14] I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I
will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of
men:
[15] But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom
I put away before thee.
[16] And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee:
thy throne shall be established for ever. [17] According to all these words,
and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
[18] Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O
Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? [19] And
this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also
of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of
man, O Lord GOD?
[20] And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy
servant.
[21] For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all
these great things, to make thy servant know them. [22] Wherefore thou art
great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside
thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
[23] And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel,
whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to
do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which
thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? [24] For
thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for
ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God. [25] And now, O LORD God, the word
that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house,
establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
[26] And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the
God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before
thee.
[27] For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant,
saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his
heart to pray this prayer unto thee. [28] And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that
God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy
servant: [29] Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy
servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast
spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for
ever.

2 Samuel 8
[1] And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and
subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
[2] And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the
ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line
to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
[3] David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to
recover his border at the river Euphrates. [4] And David took from him a
thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and
David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred
chariots. [5] And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king
of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. [6] Then David
put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David,
and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
[7] And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer,
and brought them to Jerusalem. [8] And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of
Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
[9] When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of
Hadadezer,
[10] Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless
him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer
had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of
gold, and vessels of brass: [11] Which also king David did dedicate unto the
LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he
subdued; [12] Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the
Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king
of Zobah.
[13] And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in
the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. [14] And he put garrisons in
Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's
servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
[15] And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice
unto all his people.
[16] And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of
Ahilud was recorder;
[17] And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the
priests; and Seraiah was the scribe; [18] And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was
over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief
rulers.
