The Ark Brought from Kiriath-Jearim 13:1 David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader. 2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and from the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our brothers who remain in all the lands of Israel, as well as to the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasturelands, that they may be gathered to us. 3 Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.” 4 All the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. Uzzah and the Ark5 So David assembled all Israel from the Nile of Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. 6 And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord who sits enthroned above the cherubim. 7 And they carried the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio were driving the cart. 8 And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.1 CHRONICLES 14

David’s Wives and Children 14:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also masons and carpenters to build a house for him. 2 And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel.PROVERBS 22

22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches,and favor is better than silver or gold. 2 The rich and the poor meet together;the Lord is the Maker of them all. 3 The prudent sees danger and hides himself,but the simple go on and suffer for it. 4 The reward for humility and fear of the Lordis riches and honor and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked;whoever guards his soul will keep far from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go;even when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rules over the poor,and the borrower is the slave of the lender. 8 Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity,and the rod of his fury will fail. 9 Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed,for he shares his bread with the poor. 10 Drive out a scoffer, and strife will go out,and quarreling and abuse will cease. 11 He who loves purity of heart,and whose speech is gracious, will have the king as his friend. 12 The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge,but he overthrows the words of the traitor. 13 The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside!I shall be killed in the streets!” 14 The mouth of forbidden women is a deep pit;he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it. 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,but the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16 Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth,or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty. Words of the Wise17 Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,and apply your heart to my knowledge, 18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 That your trust may be in the Lord,I have made them known to you today, even to you. 20 Have I not written for you thirty sayingsof counsel and knowledge, 21 to make you know what is right and true,that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?EPHESIANS 3

The Mystery of the Gospel Revealed 3:1 For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. 4 When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version® copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
