• 1. Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
• 2. And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
• 3. And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
• 4. And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
• 5. And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
• 6. Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
• 7. And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
• 8. Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
• 9. Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
• 10. He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
• 11. Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
• 12. Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

• 17. And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.

James 5

• 1. Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
• 2. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
• 3. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
• 4. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
• 5. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
• 6. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
• 7. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
• 8. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
• 9. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
• 10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
• 11. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
• 12. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
• 13. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
• 14. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
• 15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
• 16. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
• 17. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
• 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
• 19. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
• 20. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Jonah 2

• 1. Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
• 2. And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
• 3. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
• 4. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
• 5. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
• 6. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
• 7. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
• 8. They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
• 9. But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
• 10. And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
