So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it

city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
Then the Ekronites assembled all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel. It must return to its place, so that it will not kill us and our people!” For a deadly confusion had

emerods: and the cry of the
city went up to heaven.

city.”

seer here?

seer here?”
And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make
haste now, for he came to day to the
city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
“
Yes, he is
ahead of you,” they answered. “
Hurry now, for
today he has come to the
city because the people have a sacrifice on the high place.
As soon as ye be come into the
city, ye shall
straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he
doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be
bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
As soon as you enter the
city, you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people will not eat until he comes, because he must
bless the sacrifice; after that, the guests will eat. Go up at once; you will find him.”

city, Samuel said to Saul,

city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on
ahead of us, but you stay for a while, and I will
reveal to you the word of God.” So the servant went on.

psaltery, and a
tabret, and a pipe, and a
harp, before them; and they shall
prophesy:

Bethlehem his
city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David
urgently requested my permission to
hurry to
Bethlehem, his hometown, because there is an annual sacrifice for his whole clan.’
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table.
saying, ‘Please let me go, because our clan is holding a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has told me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That is why he did not come to the king’s table.”

city.”

forasmuch as we have
sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and
Jonathan went into the
city.
And
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have

forever.’” Then David got up and departed, and

city of David. And David built round about from
Millo and inward.
So David took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built it up all the way around, from the supporting terraces inward.
So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the
city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-
edom the Gittite.
So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the
City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-
edom the Gittite.
And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-
edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-
edom into the
city of David with
gladness.
Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-
edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-
edom into the
City of David with

And the princes of the children of
Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David
doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the
city, and to
spy it out, and to overthrow it?
the princes of the
Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Has not David instead sent his servants to
explore the
city,
spy it out, and overthrow it?”
And the children of
Ammon came out, and put the battle in
array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and
Ish-
tob, and
Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
The
Ammonites marched out and
arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance of the
city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of
Tob and
Maacah were by themselves in the open country.
And when the children of
Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before
Abishai, and entered into the
city. So
Joab returned from the children of
Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
When the
Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before
Abishai, and they entered the
city. So
Joab returned from fighting against the
Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
And it came to pass, when
Joab observed the
city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that
valiant men were.

city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he saw the strongest enemy soldiers.
And the men of the
city went out, and fought with
Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

city came out and fought against
Joab, some of David’s servants fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so
nigh unto the
city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
if the king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the
city to fight? Did you not
realize they would shoot from
atop the wall?
Then David said unto the
messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto
Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the
city, and overthrow it: and
encourage thou him.
And the LORD sent
Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one

city, one rich and the other poor.
And
Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of
Ammon, and took the royal
city.
Meanwhile,
Joab fought against Rabbah of the
Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.

Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the
city of waters.
Then
Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the
city.
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and
encamp against the
city, and take it: lest I take the
city, and it be called after my name.

assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the
city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the
city, and it will be named after me.”

And
Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then
Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what
city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the
city gate. Whenever
anyone had a
grievance to bring before the king for a decision,
Absalom would call out and ask, “What
city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”
And
Absalom sent for
Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, from his
city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the
conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with
Absalom.
And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us
flee; for we shall not else escape from
Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and
smite the
city with the edge of the sword.
And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us
flee, or we will not escape from
Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us,
heap disaster on us, and put the
city to the sword.”
And lo
Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and
Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the
city.
Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and
Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the
city.
And the king said unto
Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the
city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and
shew me both it, and his
habitation:
Then the king said to
Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the
city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
The king said also unto
Zadok the priest, Art not thou a
seer? return into the
city in peace, and your two sons with you,
Ahimaaz thy son, and
Jonathan the son of
Abiathar.
But if thou return to the
city, and say unto
Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of
Ahithophel.
But you can
thwart the counsel of
Ahithophel for me if you return to the
city and say to
Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
So Hushai David’s friend came into the
city, and
Absalom came into Jerusalem.
So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as
Absalom was entering the
city.
Moreover, if he be
gotten into a
city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that
city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
If he retreats to a
city, all Israel will bring ropes to that
city, and we will
drag it down to the valley until not even a
pebble can be found.”
Now
Jonathan and
Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the
city: and a
wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
Now
Jonathan and
Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel, where a servant
girl would come and pass along information to them. They in turn would go and inform King David, for they
dared not be seen entering the
city.
And when
Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he
saddled his
ass, and arose, and
gat him home to his house, to his
city, and put his household in order, and
hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the
sepulchre of his father.
When
Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he
saddled his
donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. He put his affairs in order and
hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.
But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we
flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the
city.
But the people
pleaded, “You must not go out! For if we have to
flee, they will pay no attention to us. Even if half of us die, they will not care; but you are worth ten thousand of us. It is better for now if you support us from the
city.”
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
And they came and besieged him in
Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the
city, and it stood in the
trench: and all the people that were with
Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
Then
cried a wise woman out of the
city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto
Joab, Come near
hither, that I may speak with thee.
a wise woman called out from the
city, “
Listen!
Listen! Please tell
Joab to come here so that I may speak with him.”
I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a
city and a mother in Israel: why
wilt thou
swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel, but you are trying to destroy a
city that is a mother in Israel. Why would you
swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim,
Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the
city. And the woman said unto
Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
That is not the case. But a man named
Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him alone, and I will depart from the
city.” “Look,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of
Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to
Joab. And he
blew a
trumpet, and they retired from the
city, every man to his tent. And
Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of
Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to
Joab. So he
blew the ram’s horn and his men
dispersed from the
city, each to his own home. And
Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the
city that lieth in the midst of the river of
Gad, and toward Jazer:
They crossed the Jordan and camped near Aroer, south of the town in the middle of the valley, and proceeded toward
Gad and Jazer.
And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when
Joab heard the sound of the
trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the
city being in an
uproar?
Now Adonijah and all his guests were finishing their feast when they heard the sound of the ram’s horn. “Why is the
city in such a loud
uproar?” asked
Joab.
And
Zadok the priest and
Nathan the prophet have
anointed him king in
Gihon: and they are come up from thence
rejoicing, so that the
city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.
Zadok the priest and
Nathan the prophet have
anointed him king at
Gihon, and they have gone up from there with
rejoicing that rings out in the
city. That is the noise you hear.

And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Later, Solomon formed an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt by marrying his daughter. Solomon brought her to the City of David until he had finished building his palace and the house of the LORD, as well as the wall around Jerusalem.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the
city of David, which is
Zion.
At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the
tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from
Zion, the
City of David.
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy,
whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the
city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,
And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away
captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the
city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them
captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the
city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,
For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken
Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the
Canaanites that dwelt in the
city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured
Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the
Canaanites who lived in the
city, and given it as a
dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the
city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build
Millo.
As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built
Millo, and repaired the breaches of the
city of David his father.
and this is the account of his rebellion against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the
gap in the wall of the
city of his father David.
(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light
alway before me in Jerusalem, the
city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.

slept with his fathers, and was buried in the
city of David his father: and
Rehoboam his son reigned in his
stead.

city of his father David. And his son

And, behold, men passed by, and saw the
carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the
carcase: and they came and told it in the
city where the old prophet dwelt.
And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
And the prophet took up the
carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the
ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the
city, to
mourn and to
bury him.
So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the
donkey, and brought it back to his own
city to
mourn for him and
bury him.
Him that dieth of
Jeroboam in the
city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Anyone belonging to
Jeroboam who dies in the
city will be eaten by dogs, and
anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’ For the LORD has spoken.
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
And
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.

Him that dieth of
Baasha in the
city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
Anyone belonging to
Baasha who dies in the
city will be eaten by dogs, and
anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
