16

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:

And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.

And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king"s entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.

And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon the pavement of stones.

Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king"s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.

And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.
