Bible Reading for August 30
1 Chronicles 27
[1] Now the children of Israel after their number, to wit, the chief fathers
and captains of thousands and hundreds, and their officers that served the
king in any matter of the courses, which came in and went out month by month
throughout all the months of the year, of every course were twenty and four
thousand.
[2] Over the first course for the first month was Jashobeam the son of
Zabdiel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. [3] Of the children
of Perez was the chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.
[4] And over the course of the second month was Dodai an Ahohite, and of his
course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were twenty and four
thousand.
[5] The third captain of the host for the third month was Benaiah the son of
Jehoiada, a chief priest: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. [6]
This is that Benaiah, who was mighty among the thirty, and above the thirty:
and in his course was Ammizabad his son. [7] The fourth captain for the fourth
month was Asahel the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah his son after him: and in
his course were twenty and four thousand.
[8] The fifth captain for the fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in
his course were twenty and four thousand. [9] The sixth captain for the sixth
month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite: and in his course were twenty and
four thousand. [10] The seventh captain for the seventh month was Helez the
Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in his course were twenty and four
thousand. [11] The eighth captain for the eighth month was Sibbecai the
Hushathite, of the Zarhites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand.
[12] The ninth captain for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anetothite, of the
Benjamites: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. [13] The tenth
captain for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, of the Zarhites: and
in his course were twenty and four thousand. [14] The eleventh captain for the
eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, of the children of Ephraim: and in
his course were twenty and four thousand.
[15] The twelfth captain for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of
Othniel: and in his course were twenty and four thousand. [16] Furthermore
over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of
Zichri: of the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maachah: [17] Of the Levites,
Hashabiah the son of Kemuel: of the Aaronites, Zadok: [18] Of Judah, Elihu,
one of the brethren of David: of Issachar, Omri the son of Michael:
[19] Of Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah: of Naphtali, Jerimoth the son of
Azriel:
[20] Of the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah: of the half tribe
of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah: [21] Of the half tribe of Manasseh in
Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah: of Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner: [22]
Of Dan, Azareel the son of Jeroham. These were the princes of the tribes of
Israel.
[23] But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under:
because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the
heavens.
[24] Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but he finished not, because
there fell wrath for it against Israel; neither was the number put in the
account of the chronicles of king David. [25] And over the king's treasures
was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the
cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of
Uzziah: [26] And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the
ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:
[27] And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the
vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite: [28] And over the
olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was Baal-hanan
the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash: [29] And over the herds
that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in
the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai: [30] Over the camels also was Obil
the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:
[31] And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of
the substance which was king David's. [32] Also Jonathan David's uncle was a
counseller, a wise man, and a scribe: and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with
the king's sons: [33] And Ahithophel was the king's counseller: and Hushai the
Archite was the king's companion:
[34] And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar: and
the general of the king's army was Joab.
1 Chronicles 28
[1] And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes,
and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and
the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the
stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons,
with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto
Jerusalem.
[2] Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my
brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of
rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our
God, and had made ready for the building: [3] But God said unto me, Thou shalt
not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast
shed blood. [4] Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house
of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be
the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the
sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel: [5] And of all
my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son
to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
[6] And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my
courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. [7]
Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my
commandments and my judgments, as at this day. [8] Now therefore in the sight
of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God,
keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may
possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children
after you for ever. [9] And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy
father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the
LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the
thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him,
he will cast thee off for ever.
[10] Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the
sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
[11] Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the
houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers
thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
[12] And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the
house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of
the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things: [13] Also for
the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the
service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the
house of the LORD.
[14] He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all
manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for
all instruments of every kind of service: [15] Even the weight for the
candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every
candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by
weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to
the use of every candlestick. [16] And by weight he gave gold for the tables
of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
[17] Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for
the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver
by weight for every bason of silver: [18] And for the altar of incense refined
gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that
spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD. [19]
All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon
me, even all the works of this pattern. [20] And David said to Solomon his
son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for
the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor
forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the
house of the LORD. [21] And, behold, the courses of the priests and the
Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God:
and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing
skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people
will be wholly at thy commandment.
1 Chronicles 29
[1] Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son,
whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great:
for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. [2] Now I have prepared
with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of
gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass,
the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and
stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of
precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. [3] Moreover, because I have
set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of
gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all
that I have prepared for the holy house, [4] Even three thousand talents of
gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to
overlay the walls of the houses withal:
[5] The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for
all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is
willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? [6] Then the chief
of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered
willingly,
[7] And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents
and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass
eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. [8] And
they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the
house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. [9] Then the people
rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they
offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
[10] Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David
said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. [11]
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the
victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is
thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
[12] Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in
thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to
give strength unto all.
[13] Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. [14]
But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so
willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have
we given thee.
[15] For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our
fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
[16] O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an
house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. [17] I
know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in
uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly
offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are
present here, to offer willingly unto thee. [18] O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac,
and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the
thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
[19] And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments,
thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build
the palace, for the which I have made provision. [20] And David said to all
the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation
blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and
worshipped the LORD, and the king. [21] And they sacrificed sacrifices unto
the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that
day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with
their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel: [22] And
did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they
made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the
LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest. [23] Then Solomon sat
on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered;
and all Israel obeyed him. [24] And all the princes, and the mighty men, and
all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the
king. [25] And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all
Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king
before him in Israel.
[26] Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. [27] And the time
that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron,
and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem. [28] And he died in a good
old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his
stead. [29] Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are
written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet,
and in the book of Gad the seer, [30] With all his reign and his might, and
the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of
the countries.
