 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56
 Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
57
 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew
it,
that they might take him.
12:
1
 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2
 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3
 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4
 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's
son,
which should betray him,
5
 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6
 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7
 Then said Jesus,
Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8
Â
For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9
 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10
 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11
 because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12
 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13
 took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed
is
the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14
 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15
 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16
 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and
that
they had done these things unto him.
17
 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18
 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19
 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
1
 O give thanks unto the L
ORD
; for
he is
good: because his mercy
endureth
for ever.
2
 Let Israel now say, that his mercy
endureth
for ever.
3
 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy
endureth
for ever.
4
 Let them now that fear the L
ORD
say, that his mercy
endureth
for ever.
5
 I called upon the L
ORD
in distress: the L
ORD
answered me,
and set me
in a large place.
6
 The L
ORD
is
on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7
 The L
ORD
taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see
my desire
upon them that hate me.
8
Â
It is
better to trust in the L
ORD
than to put confidence in man.
9
Â
It is
better to trust in the L
ORD
than to put confidence in princes.
10
 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the L
ORD
will I destroy them.
11
 They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the L
ORD
I will destroy them.
12
 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the L
ORD
I will destroy them.
13
 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the L
ORD
helped me.
14
 The L
ORD
is
my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15
 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
is
in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the L
ORD
doeth valiantly.
16
 The right hand of the L
ORD
is exalted: the right hand of the L
ORD
doeth valiantly.
17
 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the L
ORD
.
18
 The L
ORD
hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
24
 The way of life
is
above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25
 The L
ORD
will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26
 The thoughts of the wicked
are
an abomination to the L
ORD
: but
the words
of the pure
are
pleasant words.
1
 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2
 it came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and
so
it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3
 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou?
And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4
 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me.
And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5
 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6
 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7
 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here
am
I.
8
 And he said unto me, Who
art
thou? And I answered him, I
am
an Amalekite.
9
 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life
is
yet whole in me.
10
 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that
was
upon his head, and the bracelet that
was
on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
11
 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that
were
with him:
12
 and they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the L
ORD
, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13
 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence
art
thou?
And he answered, I
am
the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14
 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the L
ORD
's anointed?
15
 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near,
and
fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16
 And David said unto him, Thy blood
be
upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the L
ORD
's anointed.
17
 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18
 (also he bade them teach the children of Judah
the use of
the bow: behold,
it is
written in the book of Jasher.)
19
 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20
 Tell
it
not in Gath, publish
it
not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21
 Ye mountains of Gilboa,
let there be
no dew, neither
let there be
rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul,
as though he had
not
been
anointed with oil.
22
 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23
 Saul and Jonathan
were
lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24
 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with
other
delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25
 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan,
thou wast
slain in thine high places.
26
 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27
 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
2:
1
 And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the L
ORD
, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?
And the L
ORD
said unto him, Go up.
And David said, Whither shall I go up?
And he said, Unto Hebron.
2
 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
3
 And his men that
were
with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4
 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying,
That
the men of Jabesh-gilead
were they
that buried Saul.
5
 And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed
be
ye of the L
ORD
, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord,
even
unto Saul, and have buried him.
6
 And now the L
ORD
shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
7
 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8
 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9
 and made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10
 Ish-bosheth Saul's son
was
forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11
 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
