Jerusalem

and he burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, yea, every great house he hath burned with fire;

and the walls of Jerusalem round about have all the forces of the Chaldeans, who are with the chief of the executioners, broken down.

Six have been borne to him in Hebron, and he reigneth there seven years and six months, and thirty and three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem.

And these were born to him in Jerusalem: Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon--four, of Bath-Sheba daughter of Ammiel:

and Johanan begat Azariah, him who acted as priest in the house that Solomon built in Jerusalem.

and Jehozadak hath gone in Jehovah's removing Judah and Jerusalem by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar.

and they are ministering before the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, in song, till the building by Solomon of the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they stand according to their ordinance over their service.

These are heads of fathers, by their generations, heads; these dwelt in Jerusalem.

and Mikloth begat Shimeah. And they also over-against their brethren dwelt in Jerusalem with their brethren.

And in Jerusalem dwelt of the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin, and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh:

These heads of the fathers of the Levites throughout their generations are heads. These have dwelt in Jerusalem.

And Mikloth begat Shimeam, and they also, over-against their brethren, have dwelt in Jerusalem with their brethren.

And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem--it is Jebus--and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.

And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;

and these are the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

And David assembleth all Israel unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place that he had prepared for it.

And David taketh the shields of gold that have been on the servants of Hadarezer, and bringeth them in to Jerusalem;

and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee--they also--from the face of Abishai his brother, and go in to the city. And Joab cometh in to Jerusalem.

And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year--at the time of the going out of the messengers--that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah--David is abiding in Jerusalem--and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.

and the people who are in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.

And the word of the king is severe against Joab, and Joab goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in to Jerusalem.

and God sendeth a messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it, and as he is destroying Jehovah hath seen, and is comforted concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who is destroying, `Enough, now, cease thy hand.' And the messenger of Jehovah is standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,

and David lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, and David falleth, and the elders, covered with sackcloth, on their faces.

for David said, `Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given rest to His people, and He doth tabernacle in Jerusalem unto the age;'

And David assembleth all the heads of Israel, heads of the tribes, and heads of the courses who are serving the king, and heads of the thousands, and heads of the hundreds, and heads of all the substance and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty ones, even to every mighty one of valour--unto Jerusalem.
