CHAPTER 22
2 Samuel 22:1
1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD
had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of
Saul:
2 Samuel 22:2
2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 2 Samuel
22:3
3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my
salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from
violence.
2 Samuel 22:4
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved
from mine enemies.
2 Samuel 22:5
5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me
afraid;
2 Samuel 22:6
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; 2
Samuel 22:7
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear
my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. 2 Samuel 22:8
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook,
because he was wroth.
2 Samuel 22:9
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth
devoured: coals were kindled by it. 2 Samuel 22:10
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
2 Samuel 22:11
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of
the wind.
2 Samuel 22:12
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick
clouds of the skies.
2 Samuel 22:13
13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. 2 Samuel 22:14
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice. 2
Samuel 22:15
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
2 Samuel 22:16
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were
discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his
nostrils.
2 Samuel 22:17
17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; 2 Samuel
22:18
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they
were too strong for me.
2 Samuel 22:19
19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 2
Samuel 22:20
20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.
2 Samuel 22:21
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the
cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 2 Samuel 22:22
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my
God.
2 Samuel 22:23
23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not
depart from them.
2 Samuel 22:24
24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity. 2
Samuel 22:25
25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness;
according to my cleanness in his eye sight. 2 Samuel 22:26
26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man
thou wilt shew thyself upright. 2 Samuel 22:27
27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt
shew thyself unsavoury.
2 Samuel 22:28
28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the
haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. 2 Samuel 22:29
29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. 2
Samuel 22:30
30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
2 Samuel 22:31
31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a
buckler to all them that trust in him. 2 Samuel 22:32
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? 2 Samuel
22:33
33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. 2 Samuel 22:34
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places. 2
Samuel 22:35
35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
2 Samuel 22:36
36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath
made me great.
2 Samuel 22:37
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip. 2 Samuel
22:38
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until
I had consumed them.
2 Samuel 22:39
39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea,
they are fallen under my feet. 2 Samuel 22:40
40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against
me hast thou subdued under me. 2 Samuel 22:41
41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them
that hate me.
2 Samuel 22:42
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered
them not.
2 Samuel 22:43
43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as
the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad. 2 Samuel 22:44
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept
me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me. 2
Samuel 22:45
45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall
be obedient unto me.
2 Samuel 22:46
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close
places.
2 Samuel 22:47
47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock
of my salvation.
2 Samuel 22:48
48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, 2
Samuel 22:49
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on
high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the
violent man.
2 Samuel 22:50
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I
will sing praises unto thy name.
2 Samuel 22:51
51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his
anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore. CHAPTER 23
2 Samuel 23:1
1 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the
man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob,  and the sweet
 psalmist  of Israel,  said,
2 Samuel 23:2
2 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. 2 Samuel
23:3
3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over
men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. 2 Samuel 23:4
4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a
morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear
shining after rain.
2 Samuel 23:5
5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting
covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and
all my desire, although he make it not to grow. 2 Samuel 23:6
6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because
they cannot be taken with hands:
2 Samuel 23:7
7 But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a
spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place. 2 Samuel
23:8
8 These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat
in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift
up his spear against eight hundred,  whom he slew  at one  time. 2 Samuel 23:9
9 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three
mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there
gathered together to battle,  and the men  of Israel  were gone away: 2 Samuel
23:10
10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand
clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory  that day; and the
people  returned  after  him only to spoil. 2 Samuel 23:11
11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines
were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of
lentiles: and the people  fled  from  the Philistines. 2 Samuel 23:12
12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the
Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory. 2 Samuel 23:13
13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest
time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the
valley  of Rephaim.
2 Samuel 23:14
14 And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then
in Bethlehem.
2 Samuel 23:15
15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of
the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! 2 Samuel 23:16
16 And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew
water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and
brought it to David:  nevertheless he would  not drink  thereof, but poured it
out  unto the LORD.
2 Samuel 23:17
17 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this
the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would
not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. 2 Samuel 23:18
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three.
And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the
name  among three.
2 Samuel 23:19
19 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit
he attained not unto the first three. 2 Samuel 23:20
20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who
had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab:  he went down also and
slew  a lion  in the midst  of a pit  in time  of snow: 2 Samuel 23:21
21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his
hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the
Egyptian's hand,  and slew  him with his own spear. 2 Samuel 23:22
22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three
mighty men.
2 Samuel 23:23
23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first
three. And David set him over his guard. 2 Samuel 23:24
24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of
Bethlehem,
2 Samuel 23:25
25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 2 Samuel 23:26
26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 2 Samuel 23:27
27 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 2 Samuel 23:28
28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 2 Samuel 23:29
29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of
Gibeah of the children of Benjamin, 2 Samuel 23:30
30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash, 2 Samuel 23:31
31 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 2 Samuel 23:32
32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, 2 Samuel 23:33
33 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite, 2 Samuel 23:34
34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of
Ahithophel the Gilonite,
2 Samuel 23:35
35 Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 2 Samuel 23:36
36 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 2 Samuel 23:37
37 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, armourbearer to Joab the son of
Zeruiah,
2 Samuel 23:38
38 Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite, 2 Samuel 23:39
39 Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all. CHAPTER 24
2 Samuel 24:1
1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved
David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah. 2 Samuel 24:2
2 For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now
through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the
people, that I may know  the number  of the people. 2 Samuel 24:3
3 And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how
many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may
see  it: but why doth my lord  the king  delight  in this thing? 2 Samuel 24:4
4 Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the
captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the
presence of the king, to number  the people  of Israel. 2 Samuel 24:5
5 And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the
city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer: 2 Samuel
24:6
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to
Danjaan, and about to Zidon,
2 Samuel 24:7
7 And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites,
and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to
Beersheba.
2 Samuel 24:8
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end
of nine months and twenty days. 2 Samuel 24:9
9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there
were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew  the sword;  and
the men  of Judah  were five  hundred  thousand  men. 2 Samuel 24:10
10 And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David
said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I
beseech thee, O LORD,  take away  the iniquity  of thy servant;  for I have
done very  foolishly.
2 Samuel 24:11
11 For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the
prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
2 Samuel 24:12
12 Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things;
choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 2 Samuel 24:13
13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of
famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months  before thine
enemies,  while they pursue  thee? or that there be three  days' pestilence  in
thy land?  now advise,  and see  what answer  I shall return to him that sent 
me.
2 Samuel 24:14
14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the
hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand
of man.
2 Samuel 24:15
15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time
appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy
thousand  men.
2 Samuel 24:16
16 And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the
LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people,
It is enough:  stay  now thine hand.  And the angel  of the LORD was by the
threshingplace  of Araunah  the Jebusite. 2 Samuel 24:17
17 And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people,
and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what
have they done? let thine hand,  I pray thee, be against me, and against my
father's  house.
2 Samuel 24:18
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto
the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite. 2 Samuel 24:19
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded. 2
Samuel 24:20
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him:
and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the
ground.
2 Samuel 24:21
21 And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And
David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD,
 that the plague  may be stayed  from the people. 2 Samuel 24:22
22 And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what
seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing
instruments  and other instruments  of the oxen  for wood. 2 Samuel 24:23
23 All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah
said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee. 2 Samuel 24:24
24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a
price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which
doth cost me nothing. So David bought  the threshingfloor  and the oxen  for
fifty  shekels  of silver. 2 Samuel 24:25
25 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings
and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was
stayed from Israel.
