Löydetty 886 Tulokset: David's Battles
And now spring returned, the time when kings march out to battle; and Joab mustered an army, the pick of all the fighting men, to ravage the Ammonite territory. He marched against Rabba and laid siege to it; nor had David himself yet left Jerusalem when Joab overcame Rabba and destroyed it. (1 Chronicles 20, 1)
David took the crown from Melchom’s image, which he found to be of a full talent’s weight, set with the rarest jewels, and made himself a crown out of it; much spoil he took from the city besides. (1 Chronicles 20, 2)
and when he challenged the Israelites, Jonathan, son of David’s brother Samaa, smote him down. All these were Raphites from Geth, all slain by David and his men.✻ (1 Chronicles 20, 7)
But now Satan disturbed the peace of Israel, by inciting David to make a re-gister of the people. (1 Chronicles 21, 1)
From David the word came to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go through all the tribes from Dan to Bersabee, make a muster-roll, and let me know the full tale of them. (1 Chronicles 21, 2)
he handed in to David the number of those he had registered; the full muster-roll was one million one hundred thousand that bore arms in Israel, with four hundred and seventy thousand in Juda. (1 Chronicles 21, 5)
whereupon David confessed to the Lord, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; give my sin quittance; I have played a fool’s part. (1 Chronicles 21, 8)
And the word of the Lord came to Gad, that was David’s seer, (1 Chronicles 21, 9)
Go and give David this message from the Lord; Here are three choices I grant thee, to choose thy own punishment. (1 Chronicles 21, 10)
So Gad presented himself before David, bidding him in the Lord’s name make his choice. (1 Chronicles 21, 11)
I am hard pressed on all sides, David told him; but it is better to fall into the hands of the Lord, so rich is he in mercy, than into the hands of men. (1 Chronicles 21, 13)
and David, looking up, saw him standing there with drawn sword between heaven and earth, with his face towards Jerusalem. At that, both he and all the elders, that went clad in sack-cloth, fell prostrate on the ground. (1 Chronicles 21, 16)
