For when David had risen in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Go and say to David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it to thee.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing-place of Araunah the Jebusite.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

לַֽיהוָה֙ (יהוָה֙) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

All these things did Araunah, as a king, give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt-offerings to the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

לַיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And she said to him, My lord, thou didst swear by the LORD thy God to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

בַּֽיהוָ֤ה (יהוָ֤ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the king swore, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,

יְהוָ֕ה Yah.weh “of Yahweh”

Even as I swore to thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

בַּיהוָ֨ה (יהוָ֨ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so let him be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself.

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

That the LORD may continue his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

בַֽיהוָה֙ (יהוָה֙) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: but the kingdom is turned about, and hath become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.

מֵיְהוָ֖ה (יְהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life.

בַּֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “of Yahweh”

So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD; that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

לַֽיהוָ֑ה (יהוָ֑ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”
