13:020:003 And he brought out the people that were
in it, and cut them
with
saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes.
Even so
dealt
David with all the cities of the children of Ammon.
And
David
and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
13:020:004 And it came to pass after this, that there
arose war at Gezer
with
the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite
slew
Sippai, that was of the children of the giant:
and they
were
subdued.
13:020:005 And there was war again with the Philistines;
and Elhanan the
son
of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite,
whose
spear staff was like a weaver’s beam.
13:020:006 And yet again there was war at Gath, where
was a man of great
stature,
whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on
each
hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son
of the
giant.
13:020:007 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the
son of Shimea David’s
brother
slew him.
13:020:008 These were born unto the giant in Gath;
and they fell by the
hand
of David, and by the hand of his servants.
13:021:001 And Satan stood up against Israel, and
provoked David to
number
Israel.
13:021:002 And David said to Joab and to the rulers
of the people, Go,
number
Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number
of
them to me, that I may know it.
13:021:003 And Joab answered, The lord make his
people an hundred times
so
many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are
they not
all
my lord’s servants? why then doth my lord require
this
thing?
why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
13:021:004 Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed
against Joab. Wherefore
Joab
departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came
to
Jerusalem.
13:021:005 And Joab gave the sum of the number of
the people unto David.
And
all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an
hundred
thousand
men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred
threescore
and ten thousand men that drew sword.
13:021:006 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among
them: for the
king’s
word was abominable to Joab.
13:021:007 And God was displeased with this thing;
therefore he smote
Israel.
13:021:008 And David said unto God, I have sinned
greatly, because I have
done
this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the
iniquity
of
thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
13:021:009 And the lord spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying,
13:021:010 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the
lord, I offer thee
three
things: choose thee one of them, that I may do
it unto
thee.
