A noteThe Philistynes foughte agaynst Israel.
And they of Israel fled before
the Philistynes, and þe; wounded fell
vpon mount Gilboa. And the Philistynes folowed
vpon Saul and his sonnes, and smote
Ionathas, Abinadab and Malchisua þe; sonnes
of Saul. And the battayll was sore agaynst
Saul. And the archers came vpon
him, so that he was wounded of the archers
Then sayde Saul vnto his weapenbearer:
Drawe out thy swerde, and thrust it thorow
me, that these vncircumcysed come not, and
deale shamefully with me. Neuertheles his
weapenbearer wolde not, for he was sore afrayed.
Then toke Saul his swerde, and fell
therin. Whan his weapenbearer sawe that
Saul was deed, he fell vpon his swerde also,
and dyed.
Thus died Saul and his thre sonnes, and
all his housholde together. And whan the
men of Israel which were in þe; valley, sawe,
that Saul and his sonnes were deed, they lefte
their cities and fled: and the Philistynes
came and dwelt therin.
B noteOn the morowe came the Philistynes to

him out, and toke his heade, and his harnesse,
and sent it aboute in to þe; londe of the

layed they in the house of their god,
and styckte vp his heade vpon the house of

But whan all they of Iabes in Gilead

note he kepte not the worde of the LORDE: note ∧
because he axed councell at the soythsayer,
and axed not at the LORDE, therfore slewe

The XII. Chapter.
A noteAnd all Israel resorted to Dauid vnto
Hebron, and sayde: Beholde, we are þi;
bone and thy flesh. And afore tyme
whan Saul reigned, thou leddest Israel out
and in. So the LORDE thy God hath sayde
vnto the: Thou shalt kepe my people of Israel,
and thou shalt be the prynce ouer my

came to the kynge vnto Hebron. And
Dauid made a couenaunt with them at Hebron
before the LORDE. And they anoynted
Dauid to be kynge ouer Israel note acordynge

And Dauid and all Israel w&ebar;te vnto Ierusalem,
that is Iebus: for the Iebusites

saide vnto Dauid: Thou shalt not come in hither.
Howbeit Dauid w&abar;ne þe; castell of Si&obar;.
which is þe; cite of Dauid. And Dauid sayde:
note who so euer smyteth þe; Iebusites first, shalbe
a prynce ∧ captayne. Th&ebar; Ioab þe; sonne
of Zeruia clymmed vp first, ∧ was made captayne.
B So Dauid dwelt in þe; castell, therfore
was it called þe; cite of Dauid. And he buylded
þe; cite ro&ubar;de aboute, fro Millo forth on
euery syde. As for þe; remnaunt of þe; cite, Ioab
buylded it, ∧ repayred it. And Dauid w&ebar;te
forth ∧ grewe, ∧ the LORDE Zebaoth was &wt; him.
These are þe; chefe am&obar;ge þe; mightie
m&ebar; of Dauid, which dealt valeauntly &wt;
him in his kyngdome &wt; all Israel, to make
him kynge, acordinge to the worde of þe; LORDE
ouer Israel. And this is þe; nombre of Dauids
mightie men: Iesabeam the sonne of
Hachmoni the chefest am&obar;ge thirtie. He lifte
vp his speare, ∧ smote thre C. at one tyme.
After him was Eleasar the sonne of Dodo
the Ahohite, and he was am&obar;ge the thre
mightie. This man was &wt; Dauid wh&abar; they
blasphemed, ∧ the Philistynes gathered th&ebar;
selues there to þe; batayll. And eu&ebar; ther was
there a pece of londe full of barly, ∧ the people
fled before the Philistynes. And they stode
in the myddes of the londe, and rescued it,
and smote the Philistynes. And the LORDE
gaue a greate health.
C noteAnd thre of the chefest thirtie w&ebar;te downe
to the rocke vnto Dauid in to the caue of
Adullam. But the Philistynes hoost laye in
the valley of Rephaim. As for Dauid, he
was in the castell. And the Philistynes people
were then at Bethleem. And Dauid was
desyrous, and sayde: O that some wolde geue
me to drynke of the water out of the well
at Bethleem vnder the gate. Th&ebar; brake those
thre in to the Philistynes hoost, and drue
of the water out of the well at Bethleem
vnder the gate, and caried it, and broughte
it vnto Dauid. Neuertheles he wolde not
drynke it, but poured it vnto the LORDE, and
sayde: God let this be farre fro me, þt; I shulde
do it, and drynke the bloude of these men
in þe; parell of their life: for with the parell of
their life haue they broughte it: therfore wolde
he not drynke it. This dyd the thre Worthies.
Abisai the brother of Ioab, he was the
chefest amonge thre. And he lifte vp his speare,
and smote thre hundreth. And he was famous
amonge thre, and before the thirde, more
honorable then the two, yet came he not
vnto the thre.
D noteBenaia the sonne of Ioiada the sonne of
Ishail of Cabzeel, was a man of greate actes.
He smote two lyons of the Moabites.
And he wente downe, and smote a lyon in
the myddes of a well in the tyme of snowe.
He smote a man of Egipte also, which was
fyue cubites greate of stature, and had in
his hande a speare like a weuers lome. Yet
wente he downe to him with a staffe, and toke
the speare out of his hande, and slewe
him with his awne speare, This dyd Benaia
the sonne of Ioiada, and was a famous man
amonge thre Worthies, and most awncient
amonge thirtie. But vnto the thre came he
not. Howbeit Dauid made him of his secrete
councell.
The valeaunt Worthies are these: Asahel
the brother of Ioab, Elhanam his Vncles
sonne of Bethleem, Samoth the Harodite,
Helez the Pelonite, Ira the sonne of Ekes

A noteThese also came to Dauid vnto Siclag
whan he was yet kepte a syde because
of Saul the sonne of Cis: And
they were like wyse amouge the worthies þt;
helped in the battayll, and coulde handle
bowes with both their handes, ∧ coulde cast
-- --
stones, and shute arowes with the bowe.
Of Sauls brethren which were of Ben

Of the Gaddites resorted there vnto Dauid
to the castell in the wyldernesse, mightie
Worthies and men of armes, which h&abar;dled
speares and swerdes, and had faces like li&obar;s,
∧ were as swifte as the Roes vpon þe; mountaynes.
B The fyrst Eser, the seconde Obadia,

fyfth Ieremia, the sixte Athai, the seu&ebar;th Eliel,
the eight Iohanna, the nyenth Elsabad

These were of the children of Gad, heades
in the hoost, the leest ouer an hundreth, and
þe; greatest ouer a thousande. These are they
which in the fyrst moneth wente ouer Iordane,
whan it was full on both the shores, so
that all the valleys were eauen both towarde
the East and towarde the West.
There came of the children of BenIamin
also and of Iuda vnto the castell of Dauid.
But Dauid wente forth vnto them, and answered
and sayde vnto them: Yf ye come to
me in peace, and to helpe me, my hert shal be
with you. But yf ye come vp&obar; disceate, and
to be mine aduersaries (where as there is yet
no vnrighte in me) the God of oure fathers
loke vpon it, and rebuke it. Neuertheles the
sprete endued Amasai the captayne amonge
thirtie, and he sayde:
C We are thine O Dauid,
and holde with the thou sonne of Isai.
Peace, peace be with the, peace be with thy
helpers, for thy God helpeth the. Then Dauid
receaued them, and made them captaynes
ouer the men of warre.
And of Manasses there fell certaine vnto
Dauid, whan he came to the battayll with
the Philistynes agaynst Saul, and helped
them not, note for the prynces of þe; Philistynes
counceled to let him go from them, and sayde:
Yf he fell vnto his lorde Saul, it mighte
cost vs oure neckes. Now wh&abar; he departed
vnto Siclag, there fell vnto him of Manasses,
Adna, Iosabad, Iediael, Michael, Iosabad,
Elihu, Zilthai, heades ouer thousandes
in Manasses. And they helped Dauid against
the men of warre: for they were all valeaunt
Worthies, and were captaynes ouer
the hoost. And euery daye came there some
to Dauid, to helpe him, till there was a greate
hoost as an hoost of God.
And this is the nombre of the heades
harnessed vnto the warre, which came to Dauid
vnto Hebron, for to turne the kyngdome
of Saul vnto him, acordynge to the worde
of the LORDE.
D The childr&ebar; of Iuda, which handled speares

hundreth ready harnessed vnto þe; warre. Of
the children of Simeon noble men of armes
for the battayll, seuen thousande and an h&ubar;dreth.

Of þe; children of Ephraim, twentie thousande

Of the halfe trybe of Manasses, eightene

(which were men of vnderstondynge,
whan nede requyred to knowe what Israel
shulde do) two hundreth captaynes, and all
their brethren folowed their worde. Of Sabulon,
soch as wente forth in the hoost to þe;
warre, ready with all maner of weapens for
the battayll, fyftye thousande, beynge of one
mynde to kepe them selues in ordre.
E Of Nephtali, a thousande captaynes, ∧

beyonde Iordane, of the Rubenites, Gaddites
and the halfe trybe of Manasses, with
all maner of weapens to the battayll, an h&ubar;dreth
and twentye thousande.
noteAll these men of warre, ready harnessed to
the battayll, came with a whole hert vnto
Hebron, to make Dauid kynge ouer all Israel.
And all Israel besyde were of one hert,
that Dauid shulde be made kynge. And there
were they with Dauid thre dayes, eatynge
and drynkynge: for their brethren had
prepared for them. And soch neghbours as
-- --
were aboute them vntyll Isachar, Zabulon
and Nephtali, brought bred vpon Asses, Camels,
Mules and oxen to eate: meel, fyges, rasens,
wyne, oyle, oxen, shepe, very many: for
there was ioye in Israel.
The XIIII. Chapter.
A noteAnd Dauid helde a councell with the
captaynes ouer thousandes and ouer
hundreds, and with all the prynces,
and sayde vnto all the congregacion of Israel:
Yf it lyke you, and yf it be of the LORDE
oure God, let vs sende forth on euery syde
to oure other brethren in all the countrees
of Israel, and to the prestes and Leuites in
the cities where they haue suburbes, þt; they
maye be gathered together vnto vs, and let
vs fetch the Arke of oure God agayne vnto
vs: for by Sauls tyme we axed after it. Th&ebar;
sayde the whole c&obar;gregacion, that the same
shulde be done, for it pleased all the people
well.
So Dauid gathered all Israel together
from Sihor of Egipte, tyll a man come vnto
Hemath, to fetch the Arke of God from
Kiriath Iearim. And Dauid wente vp &wt;
all Israel to Kiriath Iearim, which lieth in
Iuda, to brynge from thence the Arke of
God the LORDE, that sytteth vp&obar; the Cherubins,
where the name is named: and they
caused the Arke of God to be caried vp&obar; a
new cart from the house of Abinadab.
B Vsa and his brethren droue the cart. As
for Dauid and all Israel, they played with
all their strength before God, with songes,
with harpes, with psalteries, with tabrettes,
with Cymbales and trompes.
But whan they came to the barne floore
of Chidon, Vsa stretched out his hande to
holde the Arke: for the oxen wente out asyde.
Then waxed the wrath of the LORDE fearce
ouer Vsa, ∧ smote him, because he stretched
out his h&abar;de to the Arke, so þt; he dyed there
before God. Th&ebar; was Dauid sory, because þe;
LORDE had made soch a rente vp&obar; Vsa, and
called the place Perez Vsa, vnto this daye.
And Dauid stode in feare of God the same
daye, ∧ sayde: How shal I brynge þe; Arke of
God vnto me? Therfore wolde he not let þe;
Arke of God be broughte vnto him in to þe;
cite of Dauid, but caried it in to þe; house of
Obed Edom the Gathite. So the Arke of
God abode with Obed Edom in his house
thre monethes. And þe; LORDE blessed Obed
Edoms house and all that he had.
The XV. Chapter.
A noteAnd Hiram þe; kynge of Tyre sent messaungers
vnto Dauid and Cedre tymber,
and masons and carpenters, to buylde
him an house. And Dauid perceaued, that
the LORDE had confirmed him kynge ouer
Israel: for his kyngdome increased for his
people of Israels sake. And Dauid toke yet
mo wyues at Ierusalem, ∧ begat yet mo sonnes
∧ doughters. And the names of them þt;
were borne vnto him at Ierusalem, are these:
Sammua, Sobab, Nathan, Salomon,
Iebehar, Elisua, Elipalet, Noga, Nepheg,
Iaphia, Elisamma, Baal Iada, Eliphalet.
B And whan the Philistynes herde that
Dauid was anoynted kynge ouer all Israel,
they wente vp all to seke Dauid. Whan Dauid
herde that, he wente forth agaynst them.
And the Philistynes came, and scatered th&ebar;
selues beneth in þe; valley of Rephaim. And
Dauid axed councell at God, ∧ sayde: Shal
I go vp agaynst the Philistynes? and wilt
thou delyuer them in to my hande? The LORDE
sayde vnto him: Go vp, and I wil delyuer
them in to thy hande. And whan they
were gone vp to Baal Prasim, Dauid smote
them there. And Dauid sayde: God hath
deuyded myne enemies thorow my hande,
euen as the water parteth asunder: therfore
called they the place Baal Prasim. And there
lefte they their goddes. Then note commaunded
Dauid to burne them with fyre.
C noteBut the Philistynes gat them thither agayne,
and scatered them selues beneth in
þe; valley. And Dauid axed councell at God
agayne. And God sayde vnto him: Thou
shalt not go vp behynde them, but turne the
from them, that thou mayest come vpon th&ebar;
ouer agaynst the Peertrees. So whan thou
hearest aboue vpon the Peertrees the noyse
of the goynge, go thou forth then to the batayll:
for God is gone forth then before the
to smyte the hoost of the Philistynes. And
Dauid dyd as God commaunded him. And
they smote the hoost of the Philistynes from
Gibeon forth vnto Gaser. And Dauids name
was noysed out in all londes. And the
LORDE caused þe; feare of him to come vp&obar;
all the Heythen.
The XVI. Chapter.
A And he buylded him houses in the cite
of Dauid, ∧ made ready a place for þe;
Arke of God, ∧ pitched a Tabernacle
for it. At that tyme sayde Dauid: The Arke
of God is not to be borne, but onely of þe;
Leuites: note for them hath the LORDE chosen
to beare the Arke of the LORDE, and to
mynister vnto him for euer. Therfore gathered
Dauid all Israel together vnto Ierusalem,
to brynge vp the Arke of the LORDE
-- --
vnto the place which he had prepared for it.
And Dauid broughte the children of Aaron
∧ the Leuites together. Of the children
of Kahath: Vriel the chefe &wt; his brethren,
an C. and twentye. Of the children of Merari:
Asaia the chefe &wt; his brethr&ebar;, two C. and
twentye. Of the childr&ebar; of Gerson: Ioel the
chefe &wt; his brethren, an C. and thirtie. Of þe;
childr&ebar; of Elizaphan: Semaia the chefe &wt;
his brethren, two hundreth. Of the childr&ebar; of
Hebron: Eliel the chefe, with his brethr&ebar;, foure
score. Of the children of Vsiel: Amminadab
the chefe, with his brethren, an h&ubar;dreth
and twolue.
B And Dauid called Sadoc and Abiathar
the prestes, and the Leuites, namely Vriel,
Asaia, Ioeli, Semaia, Eliel, Aminadab, and
sayde vnto them: Ye are the heades of þe; fathers
amonge the Leuites: sanctifye yo&highr; selues
therfore ∧ youre brethr&ebar;, þt; ye maye brynge
vp the Arke of the LORDE God of Israel,
to the place þt; I haue prepared for it.
noteFor a fore whan ye were not there, the LORDE
oure God made a rent amonge vs, because
we soughte him not, as we shulde haue done.
So þe; prestes ∧ the Leuites halowed th&ebar;
selues, þt; they mighte brynge vp the Arke of
the LORDE God of Israel. And the children
of Leui bare the Arke of God the LORDE
vpon their shulders with the staues theron,
note as Moses c&obar;maunded acordinge to þe; worde
of the LORDE.
And Dauid spake vnto þe; rulers of þe; Leuites,
that they shulde ordeyne some of their
brethren to be syngers with psalteries, harpes
and loude instrumentes, and Cimbales,
to synge loude with ioye.
C Then the Leuites appoynted Heman þe;
sonne of Ioel: and of his brethren Assaph
the sonne of Barachias: and of the children
of Merari their brethren, Ethan the sonne
of Cusaia: and with them their brethren of
the seconde course, namely Zacharias, Iaesiel,
Semiramoth, Iehiel, Vnni, Eliab, Benaia,
Maeseia, Mathithia, Elipheleia, Mikneia,
Obed Edom, Ieiel, the dore kepers. For
Heman, Assaph and Ethan were syngers,
with brasen belles makynge a loude noyse:
but Zacharias, Iaesiel, Semiramoth, Iehiel,
Vnni, Eliab, Maeseia ∧ Benaia with Phalteries
to Alamoth: Mathithia, Elipheleia,
Mikneia, Obed Edom, Ieiel ∧ Asasia with
harpes to synge aboue them on hye. Chenania
the ruler of the Leuites was the master
of Musick to teach them for to synge, for he
was a man of vnderstondinge.
And Barachias and Elcana were the dorekepers
of the Arke. But Sachania, Iosaphat,
Nathaneel, Amasai, Zacharias, Benaia,
Elieser the prestes, blewe the trompettes
before þe; Arke of God. And Obed Edom
and Iehia were dorekepers of the Arke.
D So Dauid and the Elders of Israel, and
the captaynes ouer thousandes wente vp to
fetch the Arke of the couenaunt of the LORDE
out of the house of Obed Edom &wt; ioye.
And whan God had helped the Leuites þt;
bare the Arke of the LORDES couenaunt, there
were offred seuen bullockes ∧ seuen r&abar;mes,
And Dauid had a lynn&ebar; garment vp&obar; him,
and so had all the Leuites þt; bare the Arke,
and þe; syngers, and Chenania the master of
Musick &wt; the syngers. Dauid had an ouerbody
cote of lynnen vpon him also.
Thus all Israel brought vp the Arke of
the couenaunt of the LORDE with myrth,
with trompettes, tabrettes, ∧ loude Cymbales,
with psalteries and harpes. Now whan
the Arke of the couenaunt of the LORDE came
in to the cite of Dauid, Michol þe; doughter
of Saul loked out at a wyndowe: ∧ wh&abar;
she sawe kynge Dauid daunsynge ∧ playenge,
she despysed him in hir hert.
The XVII. Chapter.
A noteAnd wh&abar; they brought in the Arke of
God, they set it in þe; Tabernacle, that
Dauid had pitched for it, and offred
burntofferynges ∧ thankofferynges before
God. And wh&abar; Dauid had ended the burntofferynges
and thankofferynges, he blessed
the people in the name of the LORDE, ∧ distributed
vnto euery man in Israel (both vnto
man and woman) a cake of bred, and a pece
of flesh and a meece of potage.
And he appoynted before the Arke of þe;
LORDE certayne Leuites to mynister, that
they shulde geue prayse, thankes and loauinges
vnto the LORDE God of Israel: namely
Assaph the first, Zacharias the seconde, Ieiel,
Semiramoth, Iehiel, Mathithia, Eliab,
Benaia, Obed Edom and Iehiel, with psalteries
and harpes. But Assaph with loude
Cymbales. Benaia and Iehasiel the prestes
with tabrettes, allwaye before the Arke of þe;
couenaunt of God.
B At the same tyme ordeyned Dauid first of
all to geue th&abar;kes vnto the LORDE by Assaph
and his brethren.
noteO geue thankes vnto the LORDE, call
vpon his name, tell the people what thinges
he hath done.
O let youre songes be of him: prayse him,
and let youre talkynge be of all his wonderous
workes.
-- --
Geue his holy name a good reporte: let þe;
hert of them reioyce, that seke the LORDE.
O seke the LORDE and his strength, seke
his face euermore.
Rem&ebar;bre his maruelous workes that he
hath done, his wonders, and the iudgm&ebar;tes
of his mouth.
Ye sede of Israel his seruaunt, ye children
of Iacob his chosen.
He is the LORDE oure God, his iudgm&ebar;tes
are in all londes.
C Be myndefull euer of his couena&ubar;t what
he hath commaunded in to a thousande generacions.
noteWhich he made with Abraham, ∧ note his
ooth vnto Isaac.
And he note comfirmed the same vnto Iacob
for a perpetuall lawe, and to Israel for an
euerlastinge couenaunt.
And sayde: Vnto the wyl I geue þe; londe
of Canaan, þe; metelyne of yo&highr; inheritaunce.
Wh&abar; they were yet but small ∧ fewe in n&obar;bre,
and straungers in the same londe.
And they wente from one nacion to another,
∧ from one realme to another people.
He suffred no man to hurte them, and reproued
euen kynges for their sakes.
noteTouch not myne anoynted, ∧ do my prophetes
no harme.
noteO synge vnto þe; LORDE, let all þe; earth be
tellynge of his saluacion from daye to daye.
Declare his holynes am&obar;ge the Heyth&ebar;,
∧ his wonderous workes amonge þe; people.
For the LORDE is greate, and can not
worthely be praysed, and more to he had in
awe then all goddes.
As for all the goddes of the Heyth&ebar;, they
are but Idols: note but it is the LORDE that
made the heauens.
D Thankesgeuynge and worshipe are before
him, strength and ioye is in his place.
Ascrybe vnto the LORDE ye kynreds of
nacions: ascrybe vnto the LORDE worshipe
and strength.
Ascrybe vnto the LORDE the honoure
of his name: brynge presentes, and come before
him, and worshipe þe;
