1 Tawarikh 13:9-10

13:9 When they arrived at the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to take hold of ¹⁸  the ark, because the oxen stumbled. 13:10 The Lord was so furious with Uzzah, ¹⁹  he killed him, because he reached out his hand and touched the ark. ²⁰  He died right there before God. ²¹ 

1 Tawarikh 14:10-11

14:10 David asked God, “Should I march up against the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” The Lord said to him, “March up! I will hand them over to you!” 14:11 So they marched against Baal Perazim and David defeated them there. David said, “Using me as his instrument, ²²  God has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So that place is called Baal Perazim. ²³ 

1 Tawarikh 16:7

David Thanks God

16:7 That day David first gave to Asaph and his colleagues this song of thanks to the Lord:

1 Tawarikh 18:1

David Conquers the Neighboring Nations

18:1 Later David defeated the Philistines and subdued them. He took Gath and its surrounding towns ²⁴  away from the Philistines. ²⁵ 

1 Tawarikh 18:10

18:10 he sent his son Hadoram ²⁶  to King David to extend his best wishes ²⁷  and to pronounce a blessing on him for his victory over Hadadezer, for Tou had been at war with Hadadezer. ²⁸  He also sent various items made of gold, silver, and bronze. ²⁹

19:11 He put his brother Abishai in charge of the rest of the army and they were deployed against the Ammonites.

21:13 David said to Gad, “I am very upset! I prefer to be attacked by the Lord, for his mercy is very great; I do not want to be attacked by men!” ³³ 

1 Tawarikh 21:15-17

21:15 God sent an angel ³⁴  to ravage ³⁵  Jerusalem. As he was doing so, ³⁶  the Lord watched ³⁷  and relented from ³⁸  his judgment. ³⁹  He told the angel who was destroying, “That’s enough! ⁴⁰  Stop now!” ⁴¹ 

Now the Lord’s angel was standing near the threshing floor of Ornan ⁴²  the Jebusite. 21:16 David looked up and saw the Lord’s messenger standing between the earth and sky with his sword drawn and in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. David and the leaders, covered with sackcloth, threw themselves down with their faces to the ground. ⁴³  21:17 David said to God, “Was I not the one who decided to number the army? I am the one who sinned and committed this awful deed! ⁴⁴  As for these sheep – what have they done? O Lord my God, attack me and my family, ⁴⁵  but remove the plague from your people!” ⁴⁶

1 Tawarikh 24:19

1 Tawarikh 26:28

26:28 They were also in charge of everything dedicated by Samuel the prophet, ⁵⁵  Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah; Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of everything that had been dedicated.

1 Tawarikh 28:19

28:19 David said, ⁵⁶  “All of this I put in writing as the Lord directed me and gave me insight regarding the details of the blueprints.” ⁵⁷ 

1 Tawarikh 29:5

29:5 for gold and silver items, and for all the work of the craftsmen. Who else wants to contribute to the Lord today?”

1 Tawarikh 29:12

29:12 You are the source of wealth and honor; ⁵⁸  you rule over all. You possess strength and might to magnify and give strength to all. ⁵⁹ 

1 Tawarikh 29:14

1 Tawarikh 29:16

29:16 O Lord our God, all this wealth, which we have collected to build a temple for you to honor your holy name, comes from you; it all belongs to you.

[4:10]  ³ tn Heb “and God brought about what he had asked.”

[4:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “the father of Ge Harashim, for they were craftsmen.” The name “Ge Harashim” means “valley of craftsmen.”

[5:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”

[12:2]  ¹³ tn The words “These were” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons, because of the length of the intervening material since the beginning of the verse.

[13:10]  ²⁰ tn Heb “because he stretched out his hand over the ark.”

[13:10]  ²¹ sn The modern reader might think God seemed to overreact here, but Israel needed a vivid object lesson of God’s holiness. By loading the ark on a cart, David had violated the instructions in God’s law (Exod 25:12-14; Num 4:5-6, 15). Uzzah’s action, however innocent it may seem, betrayed a certain lack of reverence for God’s presence. God had to remind his people that his holiness could not under any circumstances be violated.

[21:17]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “but on your people not for a plague.”

[22:18]  ⁴⁷ tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[22:18]  ⁴⁸ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

[22:18]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

[22:18]  ⁵⁰ tn Or “earth.”

[22:18]  ⁵¹ tn Or “earth.”
