Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 17:16 - 27: David’s Prayer 
 
Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said: 
 
‘Who am I, Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? And as if this were not enough in your sight, my God, you have spoken about the future of the house of your servant. You, Lord God, have looked on me as though I were the most exalted of men. 
 
‘What more can David say to you for honouring your servant? For you know your servant, 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. 
 
‘There is no one like you, Lord, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. And who is like your people Israel – the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt? You made your people Israel your very own for ever, and you, Lord, have become their God. 
 
‘And now, Lord, let the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house be established for ever. Do as you promised, so that it will be established and that your name will be great for ever. Then people 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. 
 
‘You, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him. So your servant has found courage to pray to you. You, Lord, are God! You have promised these good things to your servant. Now you have been pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever in your sight; for you, Lord, have blessed it, and it will be blessed for ever.’

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 17:1 - 15: God's Promise to David 
 
After David was settled in his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under a tent.” 
 
Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you have in mind, do it, for God is with you.” 
 
But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying: 
“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. 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. 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?”’ 
 
“Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. 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 on earth. 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 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: When your days are over and you go to be with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor. I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever.’” 
 
Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 16:7 - 43: David's Psalm of Thanks 
 
That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the Lord in this manner: 
 
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; 
 make known among the nations what he has done. 
Sing to him, sing praise to him; 
 tell of all his wonderful acts. 
Glory in his holy name; 
 let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 
Look to the Lord and his strength; 
 seek his face always. 
Remember the wonders he has done, 
 his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced, 
you his servants, the descendants of Israel, 
 his chosen ones, the children of Jacob. 
He is the Lord our God; 
 his judgments are in all the earth. 
He remembers his covenant forever, 
 the promise he made, for a thousand generations, 
the covenant he made with Abraham, 
 the oath he swore to Isaac. 
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, 
 to Israel as an everlasting covenant: 
“To you I will give the land of Canaan 
 as the portion you will inherit.” 
When they were but few in number, 
 few indeed, and strangers in it, 
they wandered from nation to nation, 
 from one kingdom to another. 
He allowed no one to oppress them; 
 for their sake he rebuked kings: 
“Do not touch my anointed ones; 
 do my prophets no harm.” 
Sing to the Lord, all the earth; 
 proclaim his salvation day after day. 
Declare his glory among the nations, 
 his marvelous deeds among all peoples. 
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; 
 he is to be feared above all gods. 
For all the gods of the nations are idols, 
 but the Lord made the heavens. 
Splendor and majesty are before him; 
 strength and joy are in his dwelling place. 
Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations, 
 ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; 
 bring an offering and come before him. 
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. 
 Tremble before him, all the earth! 
 The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. 
Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; 
 let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!” 
Let the sea resound, and all that is in it; 
 let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them! 
Let the trees of the forest sing, 
 let them sing for joy before the Lord, 
 for he comes to judge the earth. 
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; 
 his love endures forever. 
Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior; 
 gather us and deliver us from the nations, 
that we may give thanks to your holy name, 
 and glory in your praise.” 
Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, 
 from everlasting to everlasting. 
Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.” 
 
David left Asaph and his associates before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister there regularly, according to each day’s requirements. He also left Obed-Edom and his sixty-eight associates to minister with them. Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah, were gatekeepers. 
 
David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon to present burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly, morning and evening, in accordance with everything written in the Law of the Lord, which he had given Israel. With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord, “for his love endures forever.” Heman and Jeduthun were responsible for the sounding of the trumpets and cymbals and for the playing of the other instruments for sacred song. The sons of Jeduthun were stationed at the gate. 
 
Then all the people left, each for their own home, and David returned home to bless his family.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 15 - 16:6: The Ark Brought to Jerusalem 
 
After David had constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it. Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister before him forever.” 
 
David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the Lord to the place he had prepared for it. He called together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites: 
From the descendants of Kohath, 
Uriel the leader and 120 relatives; 
from the descendants of Merari, 
Asaiah the leader and 220 relatives; 
from the descendants of Gershon, 
Joel the leader and 130 relatives; 
from the descendants of Elizaphan, 
Shemaiah the leader and 200 relatives; 
from the descendants of Hebron, 
Eliel the leader and 80 relatives; 
from the descendants of Uzziel, 
Amminadab the leader and 112 relatives. 
 
Then David summoned Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel and Amminadab the Levites. He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families; you and your fellow Levites are to consecrateyourselves and bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it. It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.” So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves in order to bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel. And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the Lord. 
 
David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their fellow Levites as musiciansto make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals. 
 
So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his relatives, Asaph son of Berekiah; and from their relatives the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah; and with them their relatives next in rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom and Jeiel, the gatekeepers. 
 
The musicians Heman, Asaph and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals; Zechariah, Jaaziel,Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah and Benaiah were to play the lyres according to alamoth, and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah were to play the harps, directing according to sheminith. Kenaniah the head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it. 
 
Berekiah and Elkanah were to be doorkeepers for the ark. Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer the priests were to blow trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-Edom and Jehiah were also to be doorkeepers for the ark. 
 
So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom, with rejoicing. Because God had helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams were sacrificed. Now David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and as were the musicians, and Kenaniah, who was in charge of the singing of the choirs. David also wore a linen ephod. So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts, with the sounding of rams’ hornsand trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps. 
 
As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him in her heart. 
 
They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God. After David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each Israelite man and woman. 
 
He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to extol, thank, and praise the Lord, the God of Israel: Asaph was the chief, and next to him in rank were Zechariah, then Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom and Jeiel. They were to play the lyres and harps, Asaph was to sound the cymbals, and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 12:23 - 40: Others Join David at Hebron 
 
These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron to turn Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said: 
 
from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle; 
from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100; 
from Levi—4,600, including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok, a brave young warrior, with officers from his family; 
from Benjamin, Saul’s tribe—3,000, most of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then; 
 
from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800; 
from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000; 
from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command; 
from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000; 
 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears; 
from Dan, ready for battle—28,600; 
from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000; 
and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000. 
 
All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking, for their families had supplied provisions for them. Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisin cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy in Israel.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 12:1 - 22: Warriors Join David 
 
These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed; they were relatives of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin): 
 
Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite, Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor. 
 
Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions, and they were as swift as gazelles in the mountains. 
 
Ezer was the chief, 
Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third, 
Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, 
Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 
Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, 
Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh. 
 
These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred,and the greatest for a thousand. It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks, and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west. 
 
Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.” 
 
Then the Spirit came on Amasai, chief of the Thirty, and he said: 
“We are yours, David! 
 We are with you, son of Jesse! 
Success, success to you, 
 and success to those who help you, 
 for your God will help you.” 
 
So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands. 
Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”) When David went to Ziklag, these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 11:10 - 47: David's Mighty Warrior 
 
These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel,gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised— this is the list of David’s mighty warriors: 
Jashobeam, a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter. 
 
Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory. 
 
Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the Lord. “God forbid that I should do this!” he said. “Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?” Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it. 
 
Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors. 
Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them. 
 
Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. And he struck down an Egyptian who was five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s rod in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard. 
 
The mighty warriors were: 
Asahel the brother of Joab, 
Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem, 
Shammoth the Harorite, 
Helez the Pelonite, 
Ira son of Ikkesh from Tekoa, 
Abiezer from Anathoth, 
Sibbekai the Hushathite, 
Ilai the Ahohite, 
Maharai the Netophathite, 
Heled son of Baanah the Netophathite, 
Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjamin, 
Benaiah the Pirathonite, 
Hurai from the ravines of Gaash, 
Abiel the Arbathite, 
Azmaveth the Baharumite, 
Eliahba the Shaalbonite, 
the sons of Hashem the Gizonite, 
Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite, 
Ahiam son of Sakar the Hararite, 
Eliphal son of Ur, 
Hepher the Mekerathite, 
Ahijah the Pelonite, 
Hezro the Carmelite, 
Naarai son of Ezbai, 
Joel the brother of Nathan, 
Mibhar son of Hagri, 
Zelek the Ammonite, 
Naharai the Berothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah, 
Ira the Ithrite, 
Gareb the Ithrite, 
Uriah the Hittite, 
Zabad son of Ahlai, 
Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, who was chief of the Reubenites, and the thirty with him, 
Hanan son of Maakah, 
Joshaphat the Mithnite, 
Uzzia the Ashterathite, 
Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham the Aroerite, 
Jediael son of Shimri, 
his brother Joha the Tizite, 
Eliel the Mahavite, 
Jeribai and Joshaviah the sons of Elnaam, 
Ithmah the Moabite, 
Eliel, Obed and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.

All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’” 
 
When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel. 
 
David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites who lived there said to David, “You will not get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David. 
 
David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander-in-chief.” Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command. 
 
David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. He built up the city around it, from the terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. And David became more and more powerful, because the Lord Almighty was with him.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 9:1 - 34: The People in Jerusalem 
 
All Israel was listed in the genealogies recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. They were taken captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness. 
 
Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants. 
 
Those from Judah, from Benjamin, and from Ephraim and Manasseh who lived in Jerusalem were: 
Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah. 
Of the Shelanites: 
Asaiah the firstborn and his sons. 
Of the Zerahites: 
Jeuel. 
The people from Judah numbered 690. 
 
Of the Benjamites: 
Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah; 
Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Mikri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah. 
The people from Benjamin, as listed in their genealogy, numbered 956. All these men were heads of their families. 
 
Of the priests: 
Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin; 
Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God; 
Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malkijah; and Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer. 
The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God. 
Of the Levites: 
Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a Merarite; Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah son of Mika, the son of Zikri, the son of Asaph; Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berekiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites. 
 
The gatekeepers: 
Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their fellow Levites, Shallum their chief18 being stationed at the King’s Gate on the east, up to the present time. These were the gatekeepers belonging to the camp of the Levites. Shallumson of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his fellow gatekeepers from his family (the Korahites) were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 
 
Altogether, those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds numbered 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer. They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting. The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north and south. Their fellow Levites in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day periods. But the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries in the house of God. They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key for opening it each morning. 
 
Some of them were in charge of the articles used in the temple service; they counted them when they were brought in and when they were taken out. Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the special flour and wine, and the olive oil, incense and spices. But some of the priests took care of mixing the spices. A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with the responsibility for baking the offering bread. Some of the Kohathites, their fellow Levites, were in charge of preparing for every Sabbath the bread set out on the table. 
 
Those who were musicians, heads of Levite families, stayed in the rooms of the temple and were exempt from other duties because they were responsible for the work day and night. 
 
All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs as listed in their genealogy, and they lived in Jerusalem.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 6:31 - 80: The Temple Musicians 
 
These are the men David put in charge of the music in the house of the Lord after the ark came to rest there. They ministered with music before the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, until Solomon built the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem. They performed their duties according to the regulations laid down for them. 
 
Here are the men who served, together with their sons: 
From the Kohathites: 
Heman, the musician, 
the son of Joel, the son of Samuel, 
 the son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, 
the son of Eliel, the son of Toah, 
 the son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, 
the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai, 
 the son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, 
the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah, 
 the son of Tahath, the son of Assir, 
the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, 
 the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, 
the son of Levi, the son of Israel; 
 and Heman’s associate Asaph, who served at his right hand: 
Asaph son of Berekiah, the son of Shimea, 
 the son of Michael, the son of Baaseiah, 
the son of Malkijah, the son of Ethni, 
the son of Zerah, the son of Adaiah, 
 the son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, 
the son of Shimei, the son of Jahath, 
the son of Gershon, the son of Levi; 
 and from their associates, the Merarites, at his left hand: 
Ethan son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, 
the son of Malluk, the son of Hashabiah, 
the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah, 
 the son of Amzi, the son of Bani, 
the son of Shemer, the son of Mahli, 
the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, 
the son of Levi. 
 
 Their fellow Levites were assigned to all the other duties of the tabernacle, the house of God. But Aaron and his descendants were the ones who presented offerings on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense in connection with all that was done in the Most Holy Place, making atonement for Israel, in accordance with all that Moses the servant of God had commanded. 
 
 These were the descendants of Aaron: 
Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son, 
Abishua his son, Bukki his son, 
Uzzi his son, Zerahiah his son, 
 Meraioth his son, Amariah his son, 
Ahitub his son, Zadok his son 
and Ahimaaz his son. 
 
 These were the locations of their settlements allotted as their territory (they were assigned to the descendants of Aaron who were from the Kohathite clan, because the first lot was for them): 
 They were given Hebron in Judah with its surrounding pasturelands. But the fields and villages around the city were given to Caleb son of Jephunneh. 
 
 So the descendants of Aaron were given Hebron (a city of refuge), and Libnah Jattir, Eshtemoa, Hilen, Debir, Ashan, Juttah and Beth Shemesh, together with their pasturelands. And from the tribe of Benjamin they were given Gibeon, Geba, Alemeth and Anathoth, together with their pasturelands. 
 
The total number of towns distributed among the Kohathite clans came to thirteen. 
 The rest of Kohath’s descendants were allotted ten towns from the clans of half the tribe of Manasseh. 
 
 The descendants of Gershon, clan by clan, were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar, Asher and Naphtali, and from the part of the tribe of Manasseh that is in Bashan. 
 The descendants of Merari, clan by clan, were allotted twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben, Gad and Zebulun. 
 
 So the Israelites gave the Levites these towns and their pasturelands. 65 From the tribes of Judah, Simeon and Benjamin they allotted the previously named towns. 
 
 Some of the Kohathite clans were given as their territory towns from the tribe of Ephraim. 
 In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge), and Gezer, Jokmeam, Beth Horon, Aijalon and Gath Rimmon, together with their pasturelands. 
 
 And from half the tribe of Manasseh the Israelites gave Aner and Bileam, together with their pasturelands, to the rest of the Kohathite clans. 
 The Gershonites received the following: 
From the clan of the half-tribe of Manasseh 
they received Golan in Bashan and also Ashtaroth, together with their pasturelands; 
 from the tribe of Issachar 
they received Kedesh, Daberath, Ramoth and Anem, together with their pasturelands; 
 from the tribe of Asher 
they received Mashal, Abdon, Hukok and Rehob, together with their pasturelands; 
 and from the tribe of Naphtali 
they received Kedesh in Galilee, Hammon and Kiriathaim, together with their pasturelands. 
 The Merarites (the rest of the Levites) received the following: 
From the tribe of Zebulun 
they received Jokneam, Kartah, Rimmono and Tabor, together with their pasturelands; 
 from the tribe of Reuben across the Jordan east of Jericho 
they received Bezer in the wilderness, Jahzah, Kedemoth and Mephaath, together with their pasturelands; 
80 and from the tribe of Gad

The people of the half-tribe of Manasseh were numerous; they settled in the land from Bashan to Baal Hermon, that is, to Senir (Mount Hermon). 
 
These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah and Jahdiel. They were brave warriors, famous men, and heads of their families. But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors and prostitutedthemselves to the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (that is, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria), who took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor, Hara and the river of Gozan, where they are to this day.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 5:11 - 22: The Sons of Gad 
 
The Gadites lived next to them in Bashan, as far as Salekah: 
Joel was the chief, Shapham the second, then Janai and Shaphat, in Bashan. 
 
Their relatives, by families, were: 
Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia and Eber—seven in all. 
 
These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz. 
Ahi son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, was head of their family. 
 
The Gadites lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its outlying villages, and on all the pasturelands of Sharon as far as they extended. 
 
All these were entered in the genealogical records during the reigns of Jotham king of Judah and Jeroboam king of Israel. 
 
The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service—able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish and Nodab. They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they criedout to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him. They seized the livestock of the Hagrites—fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep and two thousand donkeys. They also took one hundred thousand people captive, and many others fell slain, because the battlewas God’s. And they occupied the land until the exile.

10 During Saul’s reign they waged war against the Hagrites, who were defeated at their hands; they occupied the dwellings of the Hagrites throughout the entire region east of Gilead.

Bible Stories - 1 Chronicles 4:24 - 43: The Descendants of Simeon 
 
The descendants of Simeon: 
Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah and Shaul; 
Shallum was Shaul’s son, Mibsam his son and Mishma his son. 
 
The descendants of Mishma: 
Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son and Shimei his son. 
 
Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many children; so their entire clan did not become as numerous as the people of Judah.They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual, Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri and Shaaraim. These were their towns until the reign of David. Their surrounding villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token and Ashan—five towns— and all the villages around these towns as far as Baalath. These were their settlements. And they kept a genealogical record. 
Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah, Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel, also Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, and Ziza son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah. 
 
The men listed above by name were leaders of their clans. Their families increased greatly, and they went to the outskirts of Gedor to the east of the valley in search of pasture for their flocks. They found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful and quiet. Some Hamites had lived there formerly. 
 
The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites who were there and completely destroyed them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks. And five hundred of these Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, invaded the hill country of Seir. They killed the remaining Amalekites who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.

Bible Stories - 2 Kings 23:31 - 24:20: Jehoahaz to Zedekiah Kings of Judah 
 
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his predecessors had done. Pharaoh Necho put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. Pharaoh Necho made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, and there he died. Jehoiakim paid Pharaoh Necho the silver and gold he demanded. In order to do so, he taxed the land and exacted the silver and gold from the people of the land according to their assessments. 
 
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah. And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his predecessors had done. 
 
During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the land, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. But then he turned against Nebuchadnezzar and rebelled. The Lord sent Babylonian, Aramean, Moabite and Ammonite raiders against him to destroy Judah, in accordance with the word of the Lord proclaimed by his servants the prophets. Surely these things happened to Judah according to the Lord’s command, in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done, including the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord was not willing to forgive. 
 
As for the other events of Jehoiakim’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors. And Jehoiachin his son succeeded him as king. 
 
The king of Egypt did not march out from his own country again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River. 
 
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father had done. 
 
At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon advanced on Jerusalem and laid siege to it, and Nebuchadnezzar himself came up to the city while his officers were besieging it. Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his attendants, his nobles and his officials all surrendered to him. 
 
In the eighth year of the reign of the king of Babylon, he took Jehoiachin prisoner. As the Lord had declared, Nebuchadnezzar removed the treasures from the temple of the Lord and from the royal palace, and cut up the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made for the temple of the Lord. He carried all Jerusalem into exile: all the officers and fighting men, and all the skilled workers and artisans—a total of ten thousand. Only the poorest people of the land were left. 
 
Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiachin captive to Babylon. He also took from Jerusalem to Babylon the king’s mother, his wives, his officials and the prominent people of the land. The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon the entire force of seven thousand fighting men, strong and fit for war, and a thousand skilled workers and artisans. He made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah. 
 
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, just as Jehoiakim had done. It was because of the Lord’s anger that all this happened to Jerusalem and Judah, and in the end he thrust them from his presence.

Bible Stories - 2 Kings 23:1 - 30: Josiah Renews the Covenant 
 
Then the king called together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. He went up to the temple of the Lord with the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets—all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the Lord. The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the Lord—to follow the Lord and keep his commands, statutes and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant. 
 
The king ordered Hilkiah the high priest, the priests next in rank and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the Lord all the articles made for Baal and Asherah and all the starry hosts. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron Valley and took the ashes to Bethel. He did away with the idolatrous priests appointed by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the towns of Judah and on those around Jerusalem—those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations and to all the starry hosts. He took the Asherah pole from the temple of the Lord to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem and burned it there. He ground it to powder and scattered the dust over the graves of the common people. He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the temple of the Lord, the quarters where women did weaving for Asherah. 
 
Josiah brought all the priests from the towns of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He broke down the gateway at the entrance of the Gate of Joshua, the city governor, which was on the left of the city gate. Although the priests of the high places did not serve at the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests. 
 
He desecrated Topheth, which was in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, so no one could use it to sacrifice their son or daughter in the fire to Molek. He removed from the entrance to the temple of the Lord the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the room of an official named Nathan-Melek. Josiah then burned the chariots dedicated to the sun. 
 
He pulled down the altars the kings of Judah had erected on the roof near the upper room of Ahaz, and the altars Manasseh had built in the two courts of the temple of the Lord. He removed them from there, smashed them to pieces and threw the rubble into the Kidron Valley. The king also desecrated the high places that were east of Jerusalem on the south of the Hill of Corruption—the ones Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the vile goddess of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the vile god of Moab, and for Molek the detestable god of the people of Ammon. Josiah smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles and covered the sites with human bones. 
 
Even the altar at Bethel, the high place made by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin—even that altar and high place he demolished. He burned the high place and ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole also. Then Josiah looked around, and when he saw the tombs that were there on the hillside, he had the bones removed from them and burned on the altar to defile it, in accordance with the word of the Lord proclaimed by the man of God who foretold these things. 
 
The king asked, “What is that tombstone I see?” 
 
The people of the city said, “It marks the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced against the altar of Bethel the very things you have done to it.” 
 
“Leave it alone,” he said. “Don’t let anyone disturb his bones.” So they spared his bones and those of the prophet who had come from Samaria. 
 
Just as he had done at Bethel, Josiah removed all the shrines at the high places that the kings of Israel had built in the towns of Samaria and that had aroused the Lord’s anger. Josiah slaughtered all the priests of those high places on the altars and burned human bones on them. Then he went back to Jerusalem. 
 
The king gave this order to all the people: “Celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.” Neither in the days of the judges who led Israel nor in the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah had any such Passover been observed. But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was celebrated to the Lord in Jerusalem.
