2 Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
1 Chronicles 17:3 (HCSB)
3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan:
1 Chronicles 17:4 (NIV)
4 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build me a house to dwell in.
1 Chronicles 17:5 (NIV)
5 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt to this day. I have moved from one tent site to another, from one dwelling place to another.
1 Chronicles 17:6 (NIV)
6 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their leaders whom I commanded to shepherd my people, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”‘
1 Chronicles 17:7 (NIV)
7 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: I took you from the pasture and from following the flock, to be ruler over my people Israel.
1 Chronicles 17:8 (NIV)
8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name like the names of the greatest men of the earth.
1 Chronicles 17:9 (NIV)
9 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning
1 Chronicles 17:10 (NIV)
10 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also subdue all your enemies. “‘I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you:
1 Chronicles 17:11 (CJB)
11 When your days come to an end and you go to be with your ancestors, I will establish one of your descendants to succeed you, one of your own sons; and I will set up his rulership.
1 Chronicles 17:12 (CJB)
12 He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
1 Chronicles 17:13 (HCSB)
13 I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to Me. I will not take away My faithful love from him as I took it from the one who was before you.
1 Chronicles 17:14 (NIV)
14 I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever.'”
1 Chronicles 17:15 (NIV)
15 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.
1 Chronicles 17:16 (NIV)
16 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?
1 Chronicles 17:17 (NIV)
17 And as if this were not enough in your sight, O God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men, O LORD God.
1 Chronicles 17:18 (CJB)
18 What more can David say to you about the honor you are bestowing on your servant? For you know your servant intimately.
1 Chronicles 17:19 (NIV)
19 O LORD. For the sake of your servant and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made known all these great promises.
1 Chronicles 17:20 (CJB)-M
20 O Lord, there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you — everything we have heard confirms that.
1 Chronicles 17:21 (CJB)-M
21 Who can be compared with your people Israel? What other nation on earth did God set out to redeem and turn into a people for himself? You made yourself a reputation by doing great and terrifying things, as you drove out the nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt.
1 Chronicles 17:22 (NIV)
22 You made your people Israel your very own forever, and you, O LORD, have become their God.
1 Chronicles 17:23 (NIV)
23 “And now, LORD, let the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house be established forever. Do as you promised,
1 Chronicles 17:24 (NIV)
24 so that it will be established and that your name will be great forever. Then men will say, ‘The LORD Almighty, the God over Israel, is Israel’s God!’ And the house of your servant David will be established before you.
1 Chronicles 17:25 (NLT2)
25 “O my God, I have been bold enough to pray to you because you have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him—a dynasty of kings!
1 Chronicles 17:26 (NLT2)
26 For you are God, O LORD. And you have promised these good things to your servant.
1 Chronicles 17:27 (NIV)
27 Now you have been pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”

1 Chronicles 18:9 (NASB)
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
1 Chronicles 18:10 (NIV)
10 he sent his son Hadoram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze.
1 Chronicles 18:11 (NIV)
11 King David dedicated these articles to the LORD, as he had done with the silver and gold he had taken from all these nations: Edom and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek.
1 Chronicles 18:12 (NLT2)
12 Abishai son of Zeruiah destroyed 18,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt.

1 Chronicles Chapter 19
1 Chronicles 19:1 (NIV)
1 In the course of time, Nahash king of the Ammonites died, and his son succeeded him as king.
1 Chronicles 19:2 (NIV)
2 David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father. When David’s men came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites to express sympathy to him,
1 Chronicles 19:3 (NIV)
3 the Ammonite nobles said to Hanun, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending men to you to express sympathy? Haven’t his men come to you to explore and spy out the country and overthrow it?”
1 Chronicles 19:4 (AMP)
4 Therefore Hanun took David’s servants, shaved them, cut off their garments in the middle near their buttocks, and sent them away.
1 Chronicles 19:5 (NIV)
5 When someone came and told David about the men, he sent messengers to meet them, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, “Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back.”
1 Chronicles 19:6 (NKJV)
6 When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Syrian Maachah, and from Zobah.
1 Chronicles 19:7 (NIV)
7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and charioteers, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba, while the Ammonites were mustered from their towns and moved out for battle.
1 Chronicles 19:8 (NIV)
8 On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of fighting men.
1 Chronicles 19:9 (NIV)
9 The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance to their city, while the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.
1 Chronicles 19:10 (NKJV)
10 When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel’s best and put them in battle array against the Syrians.
1 Chronicles 19:11 (NIV)
11 He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai his brother, and they were deployed against the Ammonites.
1 Chronicles 19:12 (NLT2)
12 “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then come over and help me,” Joab told his brother. “And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, I will help you.
1 Chronicles 19:13 (NIV)
13 Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight.”
1 Chronicles 19:14 (NIV)-M
14 Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Syrians, and they fled before him.
1 Chronicles 19:15 (HCSB)
15 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Joab’s brother Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab went to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 19:16 (NASB)-M
16 When the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer leading them.
1 Chronicles 19:17 (NIV)-M
17 When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel and crossed the Jordan; he advanced against them and formed his battle lines opposite them. David formed his lines to meet the Syrians in battle, and they fought against him.
1 Chronicles 19:18 (NIV)
18 But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
1 Chronicles 19:19 (HCSB)
19 When Hadadezer’s subjects saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became his subjects. After this, the Arameans were never willing to help the Ammonites again.
1 Chronicles Chapter 20
1 Chronicles 20:1 (NKJV)
1 It happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it.
1 Chronicles 20:2 (NKJV)
2 Then David took their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David’s head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.
1 Chronicles 20:3 (NIV)
3 and brought out the people who were there, consigning them to labor with saws and with iron picks and axes. David did this to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and his entire army returned to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 20:4 (NASB)
4 Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued.
1 Chronicles 20:5 (NASB)
5 And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
1 Chronicles 20:6 (NASB)
6 Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants.
1 Chronicles 20:7 (NKJV)
7 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
1 Chronicles 20:8 (NASB)
8 These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
1 Chronicles Chapter 21
1 Chronicles 21:1 (NIV)
1 Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.
1 Chronicles 21:2 (NIV)
2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are.”
1 Chronicles 21:3 (NIV)
3 But Joab replied, “May the LORD multiply his troops a hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all my lord’s subjects? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?”
1 Chronicles 21:4 (NIV)
4 The king’s word, however, overruled Joab; so Joab left and went throughout Israel and then came back to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 21:5 (NIV)
5 Joab reported the number of the fighting men to David: In all Israel there were one million one hundred thousand men who could handle a sword, including four hundred and seventy thousand in Judah.
1 Chronicles 21:6 (NIV)
6 But Joab did not include Levi and Benjamin in the numbering, because the king’s command was repulsive to him.
1 Chronicles 21:7 (NIV)
7 This command was also evil in the sight of God; so he punished Israel.
1 Chronicles 21:8 (NIV)
8 Then David said to God, “I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing.”
1 Chronicles 21:9 (NIV)
9 The LORD said to Gad, David’s seer,
1 Chronicles 21:10 (NIV)
10 “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.'”
1 Chronicles 21:11 (NIV)
11 So Gad went to David and said to him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Take your choice:
1 Chronicles 21:12 (NIV)
12 three years of famine, three months of being swept away before your enemies, with their swords overtaking you, or three days of the sword of the LORD–days of plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD ravaging every part of Israel.’ Now then, decide how I should answer the one who sent me.”
1 Chronicles 21:13 (NIV)
13 David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
1 Chronicles 21:14 (NIV)
14 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead.
1 Chronicles 21:15 (NKJV)
15 And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was destroying, the LORD looked and relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, “It is enough; now restrain your hand.” And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles 21:16 (NIV)
16 David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.
1 Chronicles 21:17 (NIV)
17 David said to God, “Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I am the one who has sinned and done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? O LORD my God, let your hand fall upon me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people.”
1 Chronicles 21:18 (NASB)
18 Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles 21:19 (NIV)
19 So David went up in obedience to the word that Gad had spoken in the name of the LORD.
1 Chronicles 21:20 (NASB)
20 Now Ornan turned back and saw the angel, and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. And Ornan was threshing wheat.
1 Chronicles 21:21 (NLT2)
21 When Araunah saw David approaching, he left his threshing floor and bowed before David with his face to the ground.
1 Chronicles 21:22 (NLT2)
22 David said to Araunah, “Let me buy this threshing floor from you at its full price. Then I will build an altar to the LORD there, so that he will stop the plague.”
1 Chronicles 21:23 (NLT2)
23 “Take it, my lord the king, and use it as you wish,” Araunah said to David. “I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, and the threshing boards for wood to build a fire on the altar, and the wheat for the grain offering. I will give it all to you.”
1 Chronicles 21:24 (NASB)
24 But King David said to Ornan, “No, but I will surely buy it for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, or offer a burnt offering which costs me nothing.”
1 Chronicles 21:25 (NASB)
25 So David gave Ornan 600 shekels of gold by weight for the site.
1 Chronicles 21:26 (NASB)
26 Then David built an altar to the LORD there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And he called to the LORD and He answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
1 Chronicles 21:27 (NKJV)
27 So the LORD commanded the angel, and he returned his sword to its sheath.
1 Chronicles 21:28 (NASB)
28 At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifice there.
1 Chronicles 21:29 (NIV)
29 The tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the desert, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon.
1 Chronicles 21:30 (NIV)
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God, because he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
1 Chronicles Chapter 22
1 Chronicles 22:1 (NLT2)
1 Then David said, “This will be the location for the Temple of the LORD God and the place of the altar for Israel’s burnt offerings!”
1 Chronicles 22:2 (NIV)
2 So David gave orders to assemble the aliens living in Israel, and from among them he appointed stonecutters to prepare dressed stone for building the house of God.
1 Chronicles 22:3 (NIV)
3 He provided a large amount of iron to make nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, and more bronze than could be weighed.
1 Chronicles 22:4 (NIV)

25 For David had said, “Since the LORD, the God of Israel, has granted rest to his people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever,
1 Chronicles 23:26 (NIV)
26 the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service.”

29 They were in charge of the bread set out on the table, the flour for the grain offerings, the unleavened wafers, the baking and the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.

31 and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on Sabbaths and at New Moon festivals and at appointed feasts. They were to serve before the LORD regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them.
1 Chronicles 23:32 (NIV)

1 Now the divisions of the descendants of Aaron were these: the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
