bearer wolde not, for he feared excedynglye.
So Saul caught a swerde, and fell vpon it.
And when his harnesbearer sawe that Saul

And thus Saul and his thre sonnes, and
all they of hys house dyed together. And wh&ebar;
all the men of Israel that were in the valeye,
sawe howe they fled, and that Saul and his

And moreouer in tyme past, euen when

And they annoynted Dauid kynge ouer

at Bethleh&ebar; ∧ toke it, and brought it to Dauid.
Neuerthelesse, Dauid wolde not drynke

sayde: my God forbyd it me, that I shulde do
thys thynge. Shall I dryncke the bloude of
these men, that haue put theyr lyues in Ieopardye:
(for with the Ieopardye of theyr lyues
they brought it) therfore he wolde not
drincke it. And this did these thre myghtyest.
E And Abisai the brother of Ioab: he also
was captayne amonge thre: for he lyfte vp
hys spere agaynst thre hundred, ∧ wounded
them, and had a name amonge the thre: Yee
amonge thre, he was more honorable then þe;

attayned not vnto the (fyrst) thre.
Banaia the sonne of Iehoiada (the sonne
of a very stronge man) dyd greater actes

Moab, and went downe, and slue a Lyon in
a pyt in time of snowe. And he slue an Egipcian,
whose stature was euen fyue cubytes
longe, ∧ in the Egypcians h&abar;de was a speare
lyke a weauers beame. And the other went
downe to hym with a waster, and plucked þe;
speare out of the Egypcians hande, and slue

¶ The .xii. Chapter.¶ What they were that went with Dauid when
he fledde from Saul.
AThese are they that came to Dauid
to Ziklag, whyle he yet kept hym
selfe close, because of Saul þe; sonne
of Cis: and they were very
stronge helpers in battell. They
were weapened with bowes, ∧ coulde hurlle
stones with the ryght h&abar;de and with the lyft
and shote arowes oute of a bowe, ∧ were of
Sauls brethren, eu&ebar; of Beniamin. The chefest
were Ahiezer, and Ioas þe; sonnes of Simaa
a Gibeonite, and Ieziel and Pelet the
sonnes of Asmaneth. Beracah and Iehu of
Anathoth. And Ismaia a gilbeonite a mightie
Dauid
man amonge thyrtie, and more then the
thyrtie. Ieremiah, Iehaziel, Iohanan, ∧ Iosabad
of Gedor. Eleusai, Ierimoth Bealia
Semaria, and Seaphatia, the Haraphites.
Elcana, Iesia, Azarael, Ioezer, Iosebeam
Hakorim. Ioela and Zebadiah the sonnes of
Ieroam of Gedud:
B And of the Gadites there separated them
selues, some vnto Dauid into the holde of þe;
wyldernesse, men of myghte, and men apte
for warre, ∧ þt; coulde h&abar;dle shylde and speare,
whose faces were lyke the faces of Lions,
and they were as swyfte as the Rooes in the
mountaynes: Ezer the fyrst, Obdia the sec&obar;de,
∧ Eliab the thyrde, Masinana the fourth,
Ieremia the fyfte. Atthai the syxte, Eliel the
seuenth, Iohanan the eyght, Elsabath the
nynth, Ieremia the tenth, and Machbaonai
the eleuenth. These were of þe; sonnes of Gad,
and were captaynes ouer the men of warre,
the small pursued an hundred, and the great
a thousande. These are they that went ouer
Iordan in the fyrst moneth when he had fylled
ouer all hys banckes. And they put to
flyght all them of the valeye both towarde
the East and Weste.
C And there came of the chyldren of Beniamin
and Iuda to the holde vnto Dauid. And
Dauid w&ebar;t out to mete them and answered,
and sayde vnto th&ebar;, If ye be come peasablye
vnto me, to helpe me, myne hert shalbe knytt
vnto you. But and yf you come to betraye
me to myne aduersaryes (seynge ther is no
wyckednes in myne handes) the God of oure
fathers loke theron and rebuke it. And the
spiryte came vpon Amasai which was the
chefe amonge thyrtye, and he sayde, thyne
are we Dauid, and on thy syde thou sonne
of Iesai: note Peace, peace be vnto the, and
peace be to thyne helpers, for thy God is
thine helpe. Then Dauid receaued them, and
made them heedes of companyes of the men
of warre.
D And there fell some of Manasse to Dauid
when he came with the Philistines agaynst
Saul to battell, note but they helped them not
For þe; Lordes of the Philistiues toke advysement
and sent hym awaye agayne sayinge
he wyll fall to hys Master Saul to the ieopardie
of oure heedes. As he went to Ziklag,
there fell to hym of Manasseh: Adna Iozadad,
Iediel, Michael, Iozabad, Elihu and
Zilthai, heedes of the thousandes that were
of Manasse. And they holpe Dauid agaynst
the rouers. For they were all myghtie m&ebar; of
warre, and captaynes in the hoost. For at
that tyme there came one or other to Dauid
daye by daye to helpe hym: vntyll it was a
greate hoost, lyke the hooste of God.
And this is the n&obar;bre of the chefe captaynes
that were prepared to battell, and came
to Dauid to Hebron, to turne the kyngdome
-- --
Dauid
of Saul to hym, &abar;ccordynge to the worde
of the Lorde.
E The chyldren of Iuda that bare shylde ∧
speare, were syxe thousande and eyght hundred
ready prepared to þe; warre. Of the chyldren
of Simeon, men of myght to warre, seuen
thousande and one hundred. Of the chyldren
of Leui, foure thousande and syxe hundred.
And Iehoiada was the chefe of them of
Aaron, and with him thre thousande and seuen
h&ubar;dred. And Zadock a younge man str&obar;g
and valeaunt ∧ of his fathers housholde .xxii
captaynes. And of the children of Beniamin
the brethren of Saul, thre thousande. And a
greate parte of them dyd (vnto that tyme)
folowe the house of Saul.
And of the children of Ephraim .xx. thousande
∧ eyght hundred mightye men of warre
and famous men in the housholde of their
fathers. F And of the halfe trybe of Manasseh
xviii. thousande, which were appoynted by
name to come and make Dauid kynge. And
of the chyldren of Isacar, which were men þt;
had understandynge in the ryght tyme, to
knowe (howe to c&obar;maunde) what Israel ought
to do. The heedes of them were two h&ubar;dred
and all their brethr&ebar; were at their wyll. And
of Zabul&obar; that went out to the battayll and
proceded forth to the warre, &wt; all maner of
instrumentes of warre, fyftye thousand that
were prepared to the warre, without anye
dublenesse of hart. And of Nephthali a thousande
captaynes, and with them (with shyld
∧ speare) xxxvii. thousande. And of Dan prepared
to battel .xxviii. thousande ∧ syxe hundred.
And of Asser that went out to the warre
∧ kepte the forefront of the batell, fourtye
thousand. And of þe; other syde of Iordan, of þe;
Rubenites, G and Gaddites ∧ of the halfe tribe
of Manasse, with all maner of instrumentes
of warre, an hundred ∧ twentye thousande.
All these were men of warre, kepynge the
forefront of the batell with perfect hart, and
came to Hebron to make Dauid kynge ouer
all Israel. And all the rest of Israel was of
one accorde, to make Dauid king. And there
they were with Dauid thre dayes, eatynge
and drincking: for theyr brethren had prepared
for them. Moreouer they that were nye
them, vntyll Isacar, Zabul&obar; and Nephtali,
brought breade on Asses, Camels, Mules,
∧ oxen, and meate: floure, fygges, reasyngs,
wyne and oyle, oxen, and shepe abound&abar;tlie.
For there was ioye in Israel.
¶ The .xiii. Chapter.¶ The Arcke is brought agayne from kariath Iarim
to Ierusalem. Uza (otherwyse called Osa) dyeth.
AAnd Dauid counceled with the
capitaynes of thousandes and
hundredes, ∧ with all þe; Lordes,
and sayd vnto all the congregacyon
of Israel: If it seme you
good, and to be of the Lorde oure God, we
wyll take and sende vnto oure brethren that
are left in all the l&abar;de of Israel, ∧ with them
also, to the preastes and Leuites which are in
their cyties ∧ Suburbes, togather th&ebar; together
vnto vs. And we wyll brynge agayne þe;
Arcke of the Lorde to vs: for we regarded it
not in the dayes of Saul. And all the c&obar;gregaci&obar;
was c&obar;tent that he shulde do so, for the
thyng semed good in þe; eyes of all the people.
B So Dauid gathered all Israel together
from &rhand; Sihor in Egypte, vnto þe; entrynge
of Hemath, to bringe the arcke of the Lorde
from kyriath Iearim. And Dauid went vp ∧
all Israel to an hye place towarde kyriath
Iearim, that was in Iuda, to fet thence the
arcke of the Lord God, that dwelleth betw&ebar;
the Cherubes: where hys name is called on.
And they caryed the Arcke of God in a newe
carte out of þe; house of Abinadab. C And Uza
∧ hys brother guyded þe; carte. And Dauid ∧
all Israel played before the arcke of God &wt;
all theyr myght, with syngyng, and harpes,
psalteries ∧ tymbrelles and trompettes. And
when they came vnto the threshynge flowre
of Chidon, Uza put forth his hande to holde
the arcke, for the oxen (beynge a lytle wylde.) st&obar;bled.
And the Lorde was wroth with Uza,
and smote hym, because he put hys hande to
the arcke. And there he dyed before God. And
Dauid was out of quyete, because the Lorde
had rent a rent in Uza, ∧ he called the name
of that place: þe; r&ebar;tyng of Uza vnto this daye
And Dauid was afrayde of God that daye
saying: howe shall I bringe the arcke of God
home to me? And so Dauid brought not the
arcke home to hym to þe; cytie of Dauid: But
caried it into the house of ObedEdom a Gethite.
And the arcke of God remayned with
ObedEdom, euen in hys house, thre monethes.
And he blessed the house of ObedEdom
and all that he had.
¶ The .xiiii. Chapter.¶ Hyram sendeth worde and worckmen to Dauid
which hath two victories of the Philistines.
ASo Hyram the kynge of Tyre sent
messengers to Dauid ∧ tymbre of
Cedar trees, with masons and carpenters,
to buylde hym an house.
And Dauid perceaued, that the Lorde had
confirmed hym kynge vpon Israel, and that
hys kyngdome was lyfte vp on hye, because
of hys people Israel. And Dauid toke yet
mo wyues at Ierusal&ebar;, and begat mo sonnes
and daughters. These are the names of hys
chyldren, which were borne vnto him at Ierusalem:
Samua, Sobab, Nathan and Salomon:
Iibhar, Elisua and Elipalet, Noga,
Nepheg and Iaphia, Elisama, Beeliada
and Eliphalet.
And when the Philistines heard þt; Dauid
was anoynted kynge vpon all Israel, all the
-- --
Dauid
Philistines went vpto seke Dauid. And Dauid
hearde of it, and w&ebar;t oute agaynst them.
And the Philistines came in, ∧ praunsed thorowe
the valey of Rephaim. And Dauid asked
co&ubar;cell at God saying: shall I go against
the Philistines, and wylt thou delyuer them
into myne hande? C And the Lorde sayde vnto
hym: go vp, for I wyll delyuer th&ebar; into thine
h&abar;de. And so they came vp to Baal Perazim
∧ Dauid smote them there. And Dauid sayd:
God hath deuided myne enemies with myne
hande, as a man wolde deuyde water. And
therfore they called the name of that place
&rhand; Baal Perazim. And wh&abar; they had lefte
theyr gods there, Dauid gaue a commaundment,
and they were burnt with fyre.
D And the Philistines came together agayne
∧ russhed into þe; valley. And Dauid asked
agayne at God. And God sayde to hym: go
not vp after th&ebar;, but turne awaye from th&ebar;,
that thou mayest come vpon them ouer agaynst
the peeretres. And when thou hearest
a sound go in the toppes of the peretrees, th&ebar;
go out to battell: for God is gone forth before
the, to smyte the hoste of the Philistines.
Dauid therfore dyd as God c&obar;maunded him:
∧ they smote the hoste of the Philistines, fr&obar;
Gibeon to Gazer. And þe; fame of Dauid w&ebar;t
out into all landes, and the Lorde made all
nacyons feare hym.
¶ The .xv. Chapter.¶ The Leuites brynge the Arcke agayne. Dauid
da&ubar;syng before it, is despysed of his wyfe Michol.
AAnd Dauid made hym houses in þe; cytie
of Dauid, and prepared a place for
the arcke of God, pytched for it a tent.
Then Dauid sayde the arcke of God ought
not to be caryed but of the Leuites. For them
hath the Lord chosen to beare the arcke of the
Lorde, and to minister vnto hym for euer.
And Dauid gathered all Israell together to
Ierusalem, to fetche the arcke of the Lorde
vnto hys place which he had ordeyned for it.
And Dauid brought togeather the chyldren
of Aaron and the Leuites. Of the sonnes of
Cahath was Ariel the chefe, and of hys brethren
there were an hundred and .xx. Of the
chyldren of Merari: Asaia the chefe, and
of hys brethren two hundred and .xx. Of the
sonnes of Gersom: Ioel the chefe, and of hys
brethren an hundred and thyrtye. Of the
chyldren of Elizapan: Semaia the chefe, and
of hys brethren two hundred. Of the sonnes
of Hebron: Eliel the chefe, and of hys brethren
.lxxx. Of the sonnes of Uziel: Aminadab
the chefe, and of hys brethren an hundred
and twelue.
B And Dauid called Zadock and Abiathar
the preastes, and the Leuites, Uziel, Asaia
Ioel, Semaia, Eliel and Aminadab: ∧ sayde
vnto them: ye that are the princypall fathers
of the Leuites, se that ye be holy with youre
Dauid
brethren, that ye maye bringe in the Arcke of
the Lorde God of Israel, vnto the place that
I haue prepared for it. For &rhand; because ye
were not there at the fyrst, þe; Lord oure God
made a rent amonge vs, for that we sought
hym not as the fasshyon ought to be. So the
preastes and the Leuites sanctifyed them selues,
to fett the Arcke of the Lord God of Israel.
And the children of the Leuites bare the
Arcke of God, vpon theyr shulders with staues
theron, as Moses commaunded accordynge
to the worde of the Lorde.
And Dauid spake to the chefe heedes of þe;
Leuites, that they shulde appoynte certayne
of theyr brethren to synge with instrumentes
of Musicke, psalteries, harpes and symbales
that they might make a sounde, and to synge
on hye with Ioyfulnesse: And þe; Leuites appoynted
Heman the sonne of Ioel: and (of his
brethren) Asaph the sonne of Berechia. C And
of the sonnes of Merari and of theyr brethr&ebar;
Ethan the sonne of Cusaiahu. And with th&ebar;
theyr brethren of the sec&obar;de degree: Zacharia,
Ben, Iaaziel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Unni,
Eliab, Benaiahu, Maasiah, Mathathiahu,
Eliphalehu, Mikniahu, Obed Ed&obar;, ∧ Iaiel,
porters. So Hem&abar;, Asaph ∧ Ethan the syngers
made a sounde with symbales of brasse
And Zacharia, Aziel, Semiramoth, Iehiel,
Unni, Eliab, Maasaiahu and Banaiahu
played with psalteries on &rhand; an Alamoth.
Mathatiahu, Eliphalehu, Mikniahu, Obed
Edom, Ieiel, and Azaziah played vpon harpes
an eyght aboue, with courage. And Chenaniahu
the chefe of the Leuites, was master
of the songe, for he taught other to synge, because
he was a man of vnderstandynge.
D Berecia and Elcana kepte the dore of the
Arcke. And Secamahu, Iehosaphat, Nethanael,
Amasai, Zachariahu, Banaiahu ∧ Eliezeer
the preastes dyd blowe with trompettes
before the Arcke of God. And Obed Edom
and Iehia were kepers of þe; dore of the arcke.
noteAnd Dauid and the elders of Israel
and the capitaynes ouer thousandes, went to
fet the Arcke of the appoyntment of the Lorde
out of the house of ObedEdom with gladnes.
And when God helped the leuites, that
bare the Arcke of the appoyntement of the
Lorde, they offered seuen oxen, and seuen
rammes. And Dauid had on hym a lynnen
garm&ebar;t, lyke as had also all the Leuites that
bare the Arcke, and so had the syngers, and
Chenania þe; ruler of the songe, with the syngers.
And Dauid had vpon hym an Ephod
of lynen. And all they of Israel brought the
Arcke of the Lordes couenaunt with showtynge,
and blowyng of the shawme and tr&obar;pettes:
makynge a noyse with symbales,
psalteryes, and harpes.
And as the Arcke of the appoyntment of
the Lorde came into the cytie of Dauid, Michol
-- --
Dauid
the daughter of Saul, lokynge out at a
wyndowe, sawe kyng Dauid daunsyng and
playinge, and she despysed hym in her herte.
¶ The .xvi. Chapter:¶ Dauid ordeyneth Asaph and hys brethren, to
minister before the Lorde. He hym selfe prayseth
the Lorde God of Israel. [unresolved image link]
ASo they brought in þe; arcke of God
and set it in the myddes of the tent
that Dauid pytched for it. And
they offered burnt sacrifyces and
peace offerynges before God. And
when Dauid had made an ende of offerynge
the burnt offerynges and peace offerynges, he
blessed the people in the name of the Lorde.
And he dealt to all Israel (both man ∧ woman)
a cracknell of breade, and a good pece
of flesshe, and a flacket of wyne.
And he appoynted certen of the Leuites
to ministre before the Lorde, ∧ to repete, ∧ to
thanke and prayse the Lorde God of Israel.
And Asaph was the chefe, ∧ next to hym Zacharia,
Ieiel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Mathathia,
Eliab, Benaia, note Obed Edom, ∧ Ieiel
with psalteries ∧ harpes. But Asaph made
a sounde with symbales. Banaiahu ∧ Iahaziel
preastes blewe &wt; tr&obar;pettes continuallye
before the Arcke of the couenaunt of God.
B And that same tyme Dauid did appoynte
chefelye to thanke the Lorde, by Asaph ∧ his
brethren. noteO geue th&abar;kes vnto the Lorde,
call vpon hys name, make hys actes know&ebar;
amonge the people.
Synge vnto him ∧ playe vnto him: talke
of all hys wonderfull dedes. Reioyce in hys
holy name: let the hertes of th&ebar; that seke the
Lorde, be glad. Seke the Lorde and hys str&ebar;gthe:
Seke hys presence allwaye.
Remembre his maruelles which he dyd,
and hys wonders, ∧ the iudgementes of hys
mouth. The seed of Israel are hys seruauntes:
the chyldren of Iacob are hys chosen. He
is the Lorde oure God: in all landes are hys
iudgementes. Thynke on hys appoyntment
for euer, (and on the worde which he commaunded
to a thousande generaci&obar;s.) Which
he made with Abraham, and of hys othe to
Isahac: which he set before Iacob for a decree,
and to Israel for an euerlastynge couenaunt,
sayinge: to the wyll I geue the lande
of Cana&abar; to be the porcyon of youre enheritaunce.
When you were fewe and smalle in
nombre, and sogeourners therin. And they
walked from nacyon to nacyon, and fr&obar; one
kyngdome to another people. He suffered no
man to do them wronge: but rebuked, euen
kynges for theyr sakes. Touche not myne anoynted,
and do my prophetes no harme.
noteC Synge vnto the Lorde all the erthe: and
shewe from daye to daye hys Saluacyon.
Tell of hys glorye am&obar;ge the heithen: his
wonderfull dedes amonge all nacyons.
For greate is the Lorde, and worthy to
be praysed exceadyngly: he is to be feared aboue
all Gods.
For all the Gods of the people are of no
value: But the Lorde made heauen.
Prayse and honoure are in hys presence:
strength and gladnes are in hys place.
Asscrybe vnto the Lorde ye kynredes of
people, Asscrybe to the Lorde, glorye and domynion.
Asscrybe vnto the Lorde, the glorye
due vnto hys name: brynge sacrifyces, and
come before hym, and worshyppe the Lorde
with holy honoure.
&rhand; Let all the erth feare hym, all though
the compase of þe; erth be so stablysshed that it
cannot be moued: let the heau&ebar;s reioyse, and
let the erth be glad, and lett men tell among
the nacyons, that the Lorde is kynge.
Let the see thunder and the fulnesse therof
lett the feldes reioyse, and all that is therin.
Then shall the trees of the wood reioyse
at the presence of the Lorde, because he commeth
to iudge the erth. O geue th&abar;kes vnto
the Lorde, D for he is good, for hys mercye endureth
euer: and saye ye: saue vs (o God) of
oure saluacion, geather vs to gether, and delyuer
vs fr&obar; amonge the heth&ebar;, that we maye
geue thankes to thy holy name, ∧ tri&ubar;phe in
the prayse of the. Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel for euer ∧ euer, and let all people saye
Amen, and prayse the Lorde.
And so, he lefte there before the arcke of þe;
Lordes couenaunt, Asaph ∧ hys brethren, to
ministre before the Arcke c&obar;tinually, in soch
thynges as were to be done daye by daye,
(and that by theyr courses.) And Obed Edom ∧
hys brethren, threskore and eyght, and Obed
Edom the sonne of Iedithun, and Hosa were
apoynted to be porters. And Zadock þe; preast
and hys brethren the preastes, were before þe;
tabernacle of þe; Lorde, in the hye place þt; was
at Gibe&obar;, to offer burntofferynges vnto the
Lorde, vp&obar; the burntoffering aultare perpetuallye,
in the mornyng and euenyng, accordyng
to all þt; which is written in the lawe of
the Lorde, which he c&obar;maunded Israel. And
with them were Heman ∧ Ieduthun, ∧ other
that were chos&ebar; (whose names were expressed)
to geue thankes to the Lorde, þt; his mercye
lasteth euer. And with them dyd Heman
and Ieduthun, synge with the trompettes ∧
-- --
Dauid
symbales makynge a swete melody with instrumentes
of Musycke and godly songes.
And the sonnes of Ieduthun were porters.
And all the people departed, euery man to
hys house: and Dauid returned to &rhand; blesse
hys house.
¶ The .xvii. Chapter.¶ Dauid is forbydden to buylde an house vnto
the Lorde. Chryst is promysed vnder the fygure of
Salomon.
AAnd it fortuned þt; whan Dauid dwelt
in hys house, he sayde to Nathan the
prophete: lo, I dwell in note an house of
Cedar tree: but the Arcke of the Lordes couenaunt
remayneth vnder curtaynes. And
Nathan sayd to Dauid: do all that is in thyne
herte, for God is with the.
And the same nyght it fortuned that the
worde of God came to Nathan, sayinge: go
and tell Dauid my seruaunt, thus sayth the
Lorde, thou shalt not buylde me an house to
dwell in. For I haue dwelt in no house sence
the daye that I brought out the chyldren of
Israel vnto thys daye: but haue gone from
tent to tent, and from one habitacyon to another.
And whersoeuer I haue walked wyth
all Israel, spake I euer one worde to anye of
the iudges of Israell (whom I commaunded
to fede my people,) sayinge: why haue ye not
buylt me an house of Cedar tree? Nowe therfore,
thus shalt þu; saye vnto my serua&ubar;t Dauid:
thus sayth the Lorde of Hostes: B I toke
the out of the pastures whan thou wentest
after shepe, that thou shuldest be captayne
ouer my people Israel. And I haue bene &wt;
the whither soeuer thou hast walked, ∧ haue
weded out all thyne enemyes out of thy sight
∧ haue made þe; a name, lyke þe; name (of one)
of the greatest men that are in the erthe. And
I haue ordeyned a place for my people Israel
and made it faste, so that nowe they maye
dwell in theyr place, and moue nomore. Nether
shall the chyldren of wyckednesse vexe
them any moare as at the begynnynge. And
sense the tyme that I commaunded iudges to
be ouer my people Israel, I haue subdued all
thyne enemies, and I tolde the, that the Lorde

¶ The .xviii. Chapter.¶ The Battelles of Dauid agaynst the Philistines.
AAnd after this it fortuned, þt; Dauid
smote the Philistines, and
subdewed them, ∧ toke Geth ∧
the townes þt; note longed therto,
out of the hande of the Philistines.
And he smote Moab, and the Moabites
became Dauids seruauntes, and payde hym
tribute. And Dauid smote Hadarezer kynge
of Zoba vnto Hanath, as he went to stablisshe
hys dominion by the ryuer Euphrates,
And Dauid toke from hym a thousande charettes,
∧ seuen thousande horse men, ∧ tw&ebar;tye
thousand fotemen, ∧ lamed all þe; charett horses,
∧ reserued of them an hundred charettes.
And wh&ebar; the Syriens of Damasco came to

of the Syriens .xxii. thousande, B and Dauid
-- --
Dauid
subdued Syria Damasco: And the Syri&ebar;s
became Dauids serua&ubar;tes, ∧ brought hym
trybute. And the Lorde preserued Dauid
in all that he went to.
And Dauid toke þe; shyldes of golde that
were on the seruauntes of Hadadezer, and
brought them to Ierusalem. And fr&obar; Tebhath
∧ from Chun (cyties of Hadarezer)
brought Dauid exceadynge moche brasse.
Wher &wt; Salomon made þe; brasen lauatorye, note
the pillers, ∧ the vesselles of brasse.
C And when Tou Kynge of Hemath, heard
how Dauid had beaten all the strength of
Hadarezer kynge of Zoba, he sent Haduran
his sonne to kynge Dauid, to make peace &wt;
hym ∧ to blesse hym, because he had fought
agaynst Hadarezer, ∧ beaten him (for Tou
had warre &wt; Hadarezer ∧ Dauid brought,
all maner of Iewelles of golde, syluer and
brasse &wt; hym. And kynge Dauid dedicated
them vnto the Lorde, with þe; syluer ∧ gold
þt; he brought from all nacy&obar;s, from Edom,
from Moab, from the chyldren of Ammon,
from the Philistines, ∧ from Amalec. And
Abisai þe; sonne of Zeruia slue of the Edomites

put Soudiars in Edom, and all the Edomites
became Dauids seruauntes. Thus the
Lorde kepte Dauid in all þt; he toke in h&abar;de.
D And Dauid raygned ouer all Israel, ∧ executed
iudgem&ebar;t and ryghteousnes amonge
all his people. And Ioab þe; sonne of Zaruia
was ouer the hoste, and Iehosaphat the sonne
of Ahilud recorder, and Zadock the sonne
of Ahitub and Abimelech þe; sonne of Abiathar
were þe; preastes, and Sauesa was scribe,
and Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada
was ouer the Crethites, and the Phelethites,
∧ the eldest sonnes of Dauid were nexte
vnto the kynge.
¶ The .xix. Chapter.¶ Hanon kynge of the sonnes of Ammon, doth
greate iniurye to the seruauntes of Dauid.
AAfter this, it chaunced that note Nahas
the kynge of the chyldren of Ammon
dyed, ∧ his sonne raygned in his steade.
And Dauid sayde, I wyll shewe kyndnesse
vnto Hanon þe; sonne of Nahas, because
hys father dealt kyndelye with me: And
Dauid sent messengers to c&obar;forte hym ouer
the deeth of hys father. And the seruauntes
of Dauid came into þe; lande of the chyldren
of Ammon to Hanon, to c&obar;forte hym. But
the Lordes of the chyldren of Ammon sayde
to Hanon: thynkest thou þt; Dauid doth
honoure thy father in thy syght, þt; he hath
sent conforters vnto the? Are not hys serua&ubar;tes
come to searche, to loke, and to spye
out the lande?
B Wherfore Hanon toke Dauids seruauntes
(and polde them) and shaued them, and cut
of their cootes harde by their buttokes, and
sent them awaye. And there went certayne
and tolde Dauid, howe þe; men were serued.
And þe; kynge sent to mete them (for þe; men
were exceadynglye ashamed) and þe; kynge
sayde: tarye at Iericho, vntyll youre beardes
be growen, and then returne.
And when the chyldren of Ammon sawe
that they stanke in þe; syght of Dauid. Hanon
∧ the chyldren of Ammon sent a thousande
tal&ebar;tes of syluer to hyre them charettes
∧ horsemen, out of Mesopotamia, and
out of Syria Maacha ∧ out of Zoba. And
they hyred .xxxii. thousande charettes, and
the kynge of Maacha ∧ his people, which
came, and pytched before Meoba. And the
chyldren of Ammon gathered them selues
togeather fr&obar; their cyties, ∧ came to battel.
C And whan Dauid heard of it, he sent Ioab
and all þe; hoste of stronge men. And the chyldren
of Ammon came out, and put them selues
in araye to battel before the gate of the
cytie. And þe; kynges that were come, kepte
them by them selues backe in the felde.
When Ioab also sawe that þe; fr&obar;te of the
battell was agaynst him before ∧ behynde,
he chose out of all the chosen men of Israel,
and put them in araye agaynst þe; Syrians.
And þe; rest of the people he delyuered vnto
the hande of Abisai his brother, ∧ they put
them selues in araye agaynst þe; chyldren of
Ammon. And he sayde: If the Siri&abar;s be to
str&obar;g for me, þu; shalt succoure me: ∧ yf þe; chyldren
of Ammon preuayle agaynst þe;, I will
helpe þe;. Plucke vp thine hert, ∧ let vs playe
the men, for oure peoples sake ∧ for þe; cyties
of oure God, ∧ the Lorde shall do þt; which is
good in his awne syght. So Ioab ∧ the people
þt; were &wt; him, drue nye before þe; Syri&abar;s
vnto þe; battayll, ∧ they fled before him. And
when þe; chyldren of Ammon sawe þt; the Syriens D
were fled, they ranne awaye lykewise
before Abisai his brother, and gat them into
þe; cytie. And Ioab came to Ierusalem.
And when þe; Siri&ebar;s sawe þt; they were put
to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers
∧ fet out þe; Siri&ebar;s þt; were beyond þe; ryuer,

in araye agaynst the Siriens they fought
with him. But þe; Siri&ebar;s fled before Israel.
And Dauid destroyed of the Siriens seuen
thous&abar;de charettes, ∧ .xl. thous&abar;d fote men,
and kylled Sophach þe; captayne of þe; hoste.
And when þe; serua&ubar;tes of Hadarezer, sawe,
that they were put to þe; worse before th&ebar; of
Israel, they made peace &wt; Dauid, ∧ became
his seruauntes. Nether wolde the Siriens
helpe þe; chyldren of Ammon any more.

Dauid¶ The .xx. Chapter.¶ The thre most victoryouse battelles of Dauid.
AAnd it came to passe, that after the yere
was expyred ( note aboute the tyme þt;
kynges go out a warrefare.) Ioab
caryed out the armye of the hoste, and note destroyed
the contreye of the chyldren of Ammon,
∧ came, ∧ beseged Rabba, ∧ destroyed
it: But Dauid taryed at Ierusalem whyle
Ioab smote Rabba and destroyed it: note And
Dauid toke the croune of their kynge: from
of hys heed, ∧ founde that it had þe; wayght
of a talent of golde, and there were preciouse
stones in it, and it was ordeyned for Dauids
heed. B And he brought also exceadynge
moche spoyle out of þe; cytie. And he brought
out the people that were in it, and tormented
them with sawes and harowes of yron,
and with other sharpe instrumentes, and so
dealte Dauid with all the cyties of þe; chyldren
of Ammon. C And Dauid ∧ all the people
came agayne to Ierusalem. noteAfter this
it fortuned, that there arose warre at Gazer
with þe; Philistines. At which tyme Sobocai
the Husathite slue Sippai, that was
of þe; chyldren of note Rephaim, and they were
subdewed. And there was battell agayne
with the Philistines, and Elhanan þe; sonne
of Iair, slue Lahemi the brother of Goliath
the Gethite, whose speare was lyke a weauers
beame. D And there chaunced yet agayne
warre at Geth, where as was a man of a
great stature &wt; .xxiiii. fyngers, ∧ toes .vi.
on euery hande, and .vi. on euery fote, ∧ was
the sonne of Raphah. But whan he defyed
Israel, Iehonathan þe; sonne of Simea Dauids
brother slue hym. These were borne
vnto Raphah at Geth, ∧ were ouerthrowen
in the hande of Dauid, ∧ in the hande of his
seruauntes.
¶ The .xxi. Chapter.¶ Dauid causeth the people to be nombred: and
there dye .lxx. thousande men of the pestilence.
AAnd Satan stode vp agaynst Israel,
∧ prouoked Dauid to n&obar;bre Israel.
And Dauid sayde to Ioab and to the
rulers of þe; people. Go ye and n&obar;bre Israel
from Beer Seba to Dan, and brynge it to
me that I maye know the nombre of them.
And Ioab answered: the Lorde make hys
people an hundred tymes so manye mo as
they be. But my Lorde O k&ibar;g, are they not
all my Lordes seruauntes? why then doth
my Lorde requyre thys thynge? why wyll
my Lorde be a cause of trespace to Israel?
Neuerthelesse, the kynges worde preuayled
agaynst Ioab. And Ioab departed and
walked thorowe out all th&ebar; of Israel, and
came to Ierusalem agayne ∧ gaue the nombre
of the counte of the people vnto Dauid.
And all they of Israel were a thousand
Dauid
thousande ∧ an h&ubar;dred thousande men that
drue swerde: and Iuda was .cccc.lxx. thousande
men that drue swerd. But þe; Leuites
and Ben Iamin counted he not am&obar;ge th&ebar;.
For þe; kynges worde was abhominable to
Ioab. And the Lorde was displeased with
thys thynge, and smote Israel. And Dauid
sayde vnto God: I haue synned exceadyngly
in doynge this thynge. And nowe (I beseche
the) do awaye the wyckednesse of thy
seruaunt, for I haue done very folyshlye.
B And the Lorde spake vnto Gad Dauids
sear, sayinge: goo and tell Dauid, sayinge:
Thus sayth þe; Lorde: I geue the, the choyse
of thre thynges: chose the one of them, that
I maye do vnto the. And Gad came to Dauid,
and sayde vnto hym. Thus sayth the
Lorde. Chose the, ether thre yeares famyshement,
or thre monethes to be destroyed
before thyne aduersaryes, and that þe; swerde
of thyne enemyes maye ouertake the: or
else the swerde of the Lorde and pestilence
in the lande thre dayes, and þe; Angell of the
Lorde destroying thorowe out all þe; coastes
of Israel. And nowe aduise thy selfe, what
worde I shall brynge agayne to hym that
sent me. And Dauid sayde vnto Gad. I am
in an exceadynge straite: Let me fall nowe
into the hande of the Lorde, for passynge
great are hys mercyes, but let me not fall
into the hand of men.
So þe; Lorde sent pestilence vpon Israel,
and there were ouerthrowen of Israel .lxx.
thousande men. And God sent the Angel into
Ierusal&ebar; to destroye in it. And as he was
about to destroye, þe; Lord behelde, and had
compassyon on the euyll, and sayde to the
Angell þt; destroyed: it is ynough, let now
thyne hande ceasse. C And the Angell of the
Lorde stode by þe; thresshynge flowre of Ornan
the Iebusyte. And Dauid lyfte vp hys
eyes, and sawe þe; Angell of the Lord stande
betwene þe; erth and heauen, hauynge a drawen
swerde in hys hande, stretched out towarde
Ierusalem. Then Dauid ∧ þe; elders
of Israel whych were clothed in sacke, fell
vpon theyr faces. And Dauid sayd vnto
God: Is it not I that c&obar;maunded þe; people
to be n&obar;bred? It is I that haue synned ∧ done
euell in dede, ∧ what haue these shepe done?
let thyne h&abar;de (O Lorde my God) be on
me and on my fathers house, but not on thy
people that they shulde be punysshed.
And the Angell of the Lorde c&obar;maunded
Gad to saye to Dauid, that Dauid shulde
go vp, and set vp an aulter vnto the Lorde,
in the thresshynge flowre of Ornan the Iebusyte.
And Dauid went vp accordynge to
the sayinge of Gad, which he spake in the
name of þe; Lorde. And Ornan turned aboute,
and sawe the Angell, ∧ hys foure sonnes
were with hym, and hyd them selues: But
-- --
Dauid
Ornan was thresshyng wheat. And as Dauid
came to Orn&abar;, Orn&abar; loked ∧ sawe Dauid,
and went out of the thresshynge floure,
and bowed hym selfe to Dauid wyth his face
to the grounde.
And Dauid sayde to Ornan: geue me the
place of the thresshyng flowre, that I maye
buyld an aulter therin vnto the Lord. Thou
shalt geue it me for as moche money as it is
worthe, that the plage maye cease from the
people. And Ornan sayde vnto Dauid: take
it to the, ∧ let my Lord þe; kyng do that which
semeth good in his eyes: D loo, I geue the oxen
also for burnt sacrifyces, ∧ þe; thresshyng sleades
for wodde, ∧ wheate for meat offeryng:
I geue it all. And kynge Dauid sayd to Ornan:
not so, but I wyll bye it for as moche
moneye as it is worth. For I wyll not take
that whych is thyne for the Lorde, ner offer
burntoffrynges wythout coast.
And so Dauid gaue to Orn&abar; for that place,
sycles of gold .vi. h&ubar;dred by waight. And
Dauid buylt there an aulter vnto the Lord,
and offered burntofferynges ∧ peaceoffrynges,
and called vpon the Lord, and he heard
hym from heauen in fyre vpon the aulter of
burntoffering. And whan the Lord had spoken
to þe; Angell, he put vp his swerd agayne
into þe; shethe of it. At that tyme wh&ebar; Dauid
sawe, that the Lorde had hearde hym in the
thresshynge flowre of Ornan the Iebusyte:
he vsed to offer there. For the tabernacle of
the Lord which Moses made in the wildernesse,
and the aulter of burntofferynge were
at that ceason in the hyll at Gibe&obar;. And Dauid
coulde not go before it to aske councell at
God, for he was aferde of the swerde of the
Angell of the Lorde.
¶ The .xxij. Chapter.¶ Dauid willeth hys sonne Salomon to buylde
the temple of the Lorde: whych thynge he hym
selfe was forbydden to do.
