The Reign of David

And Shecaniah and Iehoshaphat and Nethaneel and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the Priestes did blowe with trumpets before the Arke of God, and Obed Edom and Ieiiah were porters for the Arke.

So Dauid and the Elders of Israel and the captaines of thousandes went to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the house of Obed Edom with ioye.

And because that God helped the Leuites that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, they offered seuen bullockes and seuen rammes.

And Dauid had on him a linen garment, as all the Leuites that bare the Arke, and the singers and Chenaniah that had the chiefe charge of the singers: and vpon Dauid was a linnen Ephod.

Thus all Israel brought vp the Arke of the Lordes couenant with shouting and sounde of cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbales, making a sound with violes and with harpes.

And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at a windowe, and sawe King Dauid dauncing and playing, and she despised him in her heart.

So they brought in the Arke of God, and set it in the middes of the Tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it, and they offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before God.

And when Dauid had made an ende of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord.

And he dealt to euery one of Israel both man and woman, to euery one a cake of breade, and a piece of flesh, and a bottel of wine.

And he appointed certaine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the Lord, and to rehearse and to thanke and prayse the Lord God of Israel:

Asaph the chiefe, and next to him Zechariah, Ieiel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom, euen Ieiel with instruments, violes and harpes, and Asaph to make a sound with cymbales,

And Benaiah and Iahaziel Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the couenant of God.

Then at that time Dauid did appoint at the beginning to giue thankes to the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

Praise the Lord and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.

Sing vnto him, sing praise vnto him, and talke of all his wonderfull workes.

Reioyce in his holy Name: let the hearts of them that seeke the Lord reioyce.

Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.

Remember his marueilous workes that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,

O seede of Israel his seruant, O the children of Iaakob his chosen.

He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are throughout all the earth.

Remember his couenant for euer, and the worde, which hee commanded to a thousand generations:

Which he made with Abraham, and his othe to Izhak:

And hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a Law, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,

Saying, To thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.

When ye were fewe in number, yea, a very fewe, and strangers therein,
