Bible Reading for August 27

1 Chronicles 17
[1] Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan
the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of
the LORD remaineth under curtains. [2] Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that
is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
[3] And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan,
saying,
[4] Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me
an house to dwell in:
[5] For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel
unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to
another.
[6] Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the
judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not
built me an house of cedars?
[7] Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the
LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep,
that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel: [8] And I have been with
thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from
before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are
in the earth. [9] Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will
plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more;
neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the
beginning, [10] And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people
Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that
the LORD will build thee an house.
[11] And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to
be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be
of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. [12] He shall build me an house,
and I will stablish his throne for ever. [13] I will be his father, and he
shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from
him that was before thee: [14] But I will settle him in mine house and in my
kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore. [15]
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan
speak unto David.
[16] And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O
LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? [17] And
yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of
thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according
to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. [18] What can David speak
more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
[19] O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast
thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. [20] O
LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according
to all that we have heard with our ears. [21] And what one nation in the earth
is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to
make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from
before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
[22] For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou,
LORD, becamest their God.
[23] Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy
servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast
said.
[24] Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever,
saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let
the house of David thy servant be established before thee. [25] For thou, O my
God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy
servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. [26] And now, LORD, thou
art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
[27] Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that
it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be
blessed for ever.

1 Chronicles 18
[1] Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and
subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
[2] And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought
gifts.
[3] And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish
his dominion by the river Euphrates. [4] And David took from him a thousand
chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also
houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots. [5]
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David
slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. [6] Then David put garrisons
in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts.
Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
[7] And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer,
and brought them to Jerusalem. [8] Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities
of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen
sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
[9] Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of
Hadarezer king of Zobah;
[10] He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to
congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him;
(for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold
and silver and brass.
[11] Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold
that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the
children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. [12] Moreover
Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen
thousand.
[13] And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's
servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. [14] So David
reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his
people.
[15] And Joab the son Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of
Ahilud, recorder.
[16] And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the
priests; and Shavsha was scribe; [17] And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over
the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the
king.

1 Chronicles 19
[1] Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of
Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. [2] And David said, I will shew
kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to
me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the
servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to
comfort him. [3] But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun,
Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters
unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow,
and to spy out the land?
[4] Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their
garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away. [5] Then
there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet
them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho
until your beards be grown, and then return. [6] And when the children of Ammon
saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of
Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out
of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.
[7] So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and
his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon
gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle. [8] And
when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
[9] And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the
gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
[10] Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind,
he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the
Syrians.
[11] And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his
brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon. [12]
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but
if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
[13] Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people,
and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his
sight.
[14] So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians
unto the battle; and they fled before him. [15] And when the children of Ammon
saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother,
and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
[16] And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel,
they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river:
and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. [17] And it
was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came
upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the
battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
[18] But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven
thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed
Shophach the captain of the host. [19] And when the servants of Hadarezer saw
that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and
became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any
more.
