14:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

14:2 And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel’s sake.

14:3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begat more sons and daughters.

14:4 And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

14:5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

14:6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

14:7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

14:8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went out against them.

14:9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

14:10 And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.

14:11 So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

14:12 And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

14:13 And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

14:14 And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Thou shalt not go up after them: turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

14:15 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

14:16 And David did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

14:17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all nations.

31:16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, And maketh strong her arms.

31:18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is profitable; Her lamp goeth not out by night.

31:19 She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her hands hold the spindle.

31:20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household; For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

31:22 She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among the elders of the land.

31:24 She maketh linen garments and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

31:25 Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come.

31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.

31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness.

31:28 Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her, saying:

31:29 Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all.

31:30 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.

31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates.

11:1 Now the apostles and the brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.

11:2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

11:3 saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

11:4 But Peter began, and expounded the matter unto them in order, saying,

11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:

11:6 upon which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and birds of the heaven.

11:7 And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.

11:8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.

11:9 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

11:10 And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

11:11 And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Cæsarea unto me.

11:12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:

11:13 and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;

11:14 who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

11:16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

11:17 If then God gave unto them the like gift as he did also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?

11:18 And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.
