1 Tawarikh 12:17

12:17 David went out to meet them and said, ¹  “If you come to me in peace and want to help me, then I will make an alliance with you. ²  But if you come to betray me to my enemies when I have not harmed you, ³  may the God of our ancestors ⁴  take notice and judge!”

1 Tawarikh 19:13

19:13 Be strong! Let’s fight bravely for the sake of our people and the cities of our God! The Lord will do what he decides is best!” ⁵ 

1 Tawarikh 28:2

28:2 King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the Lord’s covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God. ⁶  I have made the preparations for building it.

1 Tawarikh 13:3

13:3 Let’s move the ark of our God back here, ⁷  for we did not seek his will ⁸  throughout Saul’s reign.” ⁹ 

1 Tawarikh 16:14

16:14 He is the Lord our God;

he carries out judgment throughout the earth. ¹⁰ 

1 Tawarikh 13:2

13:2 David said to the whole Israelite assembly, “If you so desire and the Lord our God approves, ¹¹  let’s spread the word ¹²  to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites in their cities, ¹³  so they may join us.

1 Tawarikh 15:13

15:13 The first time you did not carry it; that is why the Lord God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.” ¹⁴ 

1 Tawarikh 28:8

28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: ¹⁵  Carefully observe ¹⁶  all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

1 Tawarikh 12:19

12:19 Some men from Manasseh joined ¹⁷  David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (But in the end they did not help the Philistines because, after taking counsel, the Philistine lords sent David away, saying: “It would be disastrous for us if he deserts to his master Saul.”) ¹⁸ 

1 Tawarikh 16:10

16:10 Boast about his holy name!

Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

1 Tawarikh 28:9

28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, obey ¹⁹  the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, ²⁰  for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, ²¹  but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.

1 Tawarikh 11:1

David Becomes King

11:1 All Israel joined David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your very flesh and blood! ²² 

1 Tawarikh 22:1

22:1 David then said, “This is the place where the temple of the Lord God will be, along with the altar for burnt sacrifices for Israel.”

1 Tawarikh 16:23

16:23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Announce every day ²³  how he delivers!

1 Tawarikh 23:25

23:25 For David said, “The Lord God of Israel has given his people rest and has permanently settled in Jerusalem. ²⁴ 

1 Tawarikh 15:2

15:2 Then David said, “Only the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to serve before him perpetually.

1 Tawarikh 19:3

19:3 the Ammonite officials said to Hanun, “Do you really think David is trying to honor your father by sending these messengers to express his sympathy? ²⁵  No, his servants have come to you so they can get information and spy out the land!” ²⁶ 

1 Tawarikh 29:1

The People Contribute to the Project

29:1 King David said to the entire assembly: “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is just an inexperienced young man, ²⁷  and the task is great, for this palace is not for man, but for the Lord God.

1 Tawarikh 19:2

19:2 David said, “I will express my loyalty ²⁸  to Hanun son of Nahash, for his father was loyal ²⁹  to me.” So David sent messengers to express his sympathy over his father’s death. ³⁰  When David’s servants entered Ammonite territory to visit Hanun and express the king’s sympathy, ³¹
