1 Chronicles 5:1–6:81

1And the sons of Ruben the first-born of Israel (for he [was] the first-born; but because of his going up to his father's couch, [his father] gave his blessing to his son Joseph, [even] the son of Israel; and he was not reckoned as first-born; 2for Judas [was] very mighty even among his brethren, and one was to be a ruler out of him: but the blessing [was] Joseph's). 3The sons of Ruben the first-born of Israel; Enoch, and Phallus, Asrom, and Charmi. 4The sons of Joel; Semei, and Banaia his son: and the sons of Gug the son of Semei. 5His son [was] Micha, his son Recha, his son Joel, 6his son Beël, whom Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria carried away captive: he [is] the chief of the Rubenites. 7And his brethren in his family, in their distribution according to their generations; the chief, Joel, and Zacharia. 8And Balec the son of Azuz, the son of Sama, the son of Joel: he dwelt in Aroer, and even to Naban, and Beelmasson. 9And he dwelt eastward to the borders of the wilderness, from the river Euphrates: for they had much cattle in the land of Galaad. 10And in the days of Saul they made war upon the sojourners [in the land]; and they fell into their hands, all of them dwelling in their tents eastward of Galaad. 11The sons of Gad dwelt over against them in the land of Basan even to Sela. 12Joel the first-born, and Sapham the second, and Janin the scribe in Basan. 13And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers; Michael, Mosollam, and Sebee, and Joree, and Joachan, and Zue, and Obed, seven. 14These [are] the sons of Abichaia the son of Uri, the son of Idai, the son of Galaad, the son of Michael, the son of Jesai, the son of Jeddai, the son of Buz, 15[who was] the brother of the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, [he was] chief of the house of their families. 16They dwelt in Galaad, in Basan, and in their villages, and [in] all the country round about Saron to the border. 17The enumeration of [them] all took place in the days of Joatham king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. 18The sons of Ruben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasse, of mighty men, bearing shields and sword, and bending the bow, and skilled in war, [were] forty and four thousand and seven hundred and sixty, going forth to battle. 19And they made war with the Agarenes, and Itureans, and Naphiseans, and Nadabeans, 20and they prevailed against them: and the Agaræans were given into their hands, [they] and all their tents: for they cried to God in the battle, and he hearkened to them, because they trusted on him. 21And they took captive their store; five thousand camels, and two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men. 22For many fell slain, because the war [was] of God. And they dwelt in their place until the captivity. 23And the half-tribe of Manasse dwelt from Basan to Baal, Ermon, and Sanir, and [to] the mount Aërmon: and they increased in Libanus. 24And these were the heads of the houses of their families; Opher, and Sei, and Eliel, and Jeremia, and Oduia, and Jediel, mighty men of valour, men of renown, heads of the houses of their families. 25But they rebelled against the God of their fathers, and went a-whoring after the gods of the nations of the land, whom God cast out from before them. 26And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Phaloch king of Assyria, and the spirit of Thagla-phallasar king of Assyria, and carried away Ruben and Gaddi, and the half-tribe of Manasse, and brought them to Chaach, and Chabor, and to the river Gozan, until this day. 27The sons of Levi: Gedson, Caath, and Merari. 28And the sons of Caath; Ambram, and Issaar, Chebron, and Oziel. 29And the sons of Ambram; Aaron, and Moses, and Mariam: and the sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abiud, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 30Eleazar begot Phinees, Phinees begot Abisu; 31Abisu begot Bokki, and Bokki begot Ozi; 32Ozi begot Zaraia, Zaraia begot Mariel; 33and Mariel begot Amaria, and Amaria begot Achitob; 34and Achitob begot Sadoc, and Sadoc begot Achimaas; 35and Achimaas begot Azarias, and Azarias begot Joanan; 36and Joanan begot Azarias: he ministered as priest in the house which Solomon built in Jerusalem. 37And Azarias begot Amaria, and Amaria begot Achitob; 38and Achitob begot Sadoc, and Sadoc begot Salom; 39and Salom begot Chelcias, and Chelcias begot Azarias; 40and Azarias begot Saraia, and Saraias begot Josadac. 41And Josadac went into captivity with Juda and Jerusalem under Nabuchodonosor. Chapter 61The sons of Levi: Gedson, Caath, and Merari. 2And these [are] the names of the sons of Gedson; Lobeni, and Semei. 3The sons of Caath; Ambram, and Issaar, Chebron, and Oziel. 4The sons of Merari; Mooli and Musi: and these [are] the families of Levi, according to their families. 5To Gedson—to Lobeni his son—[were born] Jeth his son, Zammath his son, 6Joab his son, Addi his son, Zara his son, Jethri his son. 7The sons of Caath; Aminadab his son, Core his son, Aser his son; 8Helcana his son, Abisaph his son, Aser his son: 9Thaath his son, Uriel his son, Ozia his son, Saul his son. 10And the sons of Helcana; Amessi, and Achimoth. 11Helcana his son, Suphi his son, Cainaath his son; 12Eliab his son, Jeroboam his son, Helcana his son. 13The sons of Samuel; the first-born Sani, and Abia. 14The sons of Merari; Mooli, Lobeni his son, Semei his son, Oza his son; 15Samaa his son, Angia his son, Asaias his son. 16And these [were the men] whom David set over the service of the singers in the house of the Lord when the ark was at rest. 17And they ministered in front of the tabernacle of witness [playing] on instruments, until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem; and they stood according to their order for their services. 18And these [were the men] that stood, and their sons, of the sons of Caath: Æman the psalm singer, son of Joel, the son of Samuel, 19the son of Helcana, the son of Jeroboam, the son of Eliel, the son of Thoas, 20the son of Suph, the son of Helcana, the son of Maath, the son of Amathi, 21the son of Helcana, the son of Joel, the son of Azarias, the son of Japhanias, 22the son of Thaath, the son of Aser, the son of Abiasaph, the son of Core, 23the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel. 24And his brother Asaph, who stood at his right hand;

Eleazar his son, Phinees his son, Abisu his son, 36Bokki his son, Ozi his son, Saraia his son, 37Mariel his son, Amaria his son, Achitob his son, 38Sadoc his son, Achimaas his son. 39And these [are] their residences in their villages, in their coasts, to the sons of Aaron, to their family the Caathites: for they had the lot. 40And they gave them Chebron in the land of Juda, and its suburbs round about it. 41But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Chaleb the son of Jephonne. 42And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of refuge, [even] Chebron, and Lobna and her suburbs round about, and Selna and her suburbs, and Esthamo and her suburbs, 43and Jethar and her suburbs, and Dabir and her suburbs, 44and Asan and her suburbs, and Bæthsamys and her suburbs: 45and of the tribe of Benjamin Gabai and her suburbs, and Galemath and her suburbs, and Anathoth and her suburbs: all their cities [were] thirteen cities according to their families. 46And to the sons of Caath that were left of their families, [there were given] out of the tribe, [namely], out of the half-tribe of Manasse, by lot, ten cities. 47And to the sons of Gedson according to their families [there were given] thirteen cities of the tribe of Issachar, of the tribe of Aser, of the tribe of Nephthali, of the tribe of Manasse in Basan. 48And to the sons of Merari according to their families [there were given], by lot, twelve cities of the tribe of Ruben, of the tribe of Gad, [and] of the tribe of Zabulon. 49So the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities and their suburbs. 50And they gave by lot out of the tribe of the children of Juda, and out of the tribe of the children of Symeon, and out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, these cities which they call by name. 51And [to the members] of the families of the sons of Caath there were also given the cities of their borders out of the tribe of Ephraim. 52And they gave them the cities of refuge, Sychem and her suburbs in mount Ephraim, and Gazer and her suburbs, 53and Jecmaan and her suburbs, and Bæthoron and her suburbs, 54and Ælon and her suburbs, and Gethremmon and her suburbs: 55and of the half-tribe of Manasse Anar and her suburbs, and Jemblaan and her suburbs, to the sons of Caath that were left, according to [each several] family. 56To the sons of Gedson from the families of the half-tribe of Manasse [they gave] Golan of Basan and her suburbs, and Aseroth and her suburbs. 57And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kedes and her suburbs, and Deberi and her suburbs, and Dabor and her suburbs, 58and Ramoth, and Ænan and her suburbs. 59And of the tribe of Aser;

Psalm 76:1–3(MT: 77)

MT Psalm 77 = LXX Psalm 76 (standard offset).

1For the end, for Idithun, a Psalm of Asaph. 2I cried to the Lord with my voice, yea, my voice [was addressed] to God; and he gave heed to me. 3In the day of mine affliction I earnestly sought the Lord; [even] with my hands by night before him, and I was not deceived; my soul refused to be comforted.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)

Proverbs 19:10–12

10Delight does not suit a fool, nor [is it seemly] if a servant should begin to rule with haughtiness. 11A merciful man is long-suffering; and his triumph overtakes transgressors. 12The threatening of a king is like the roaring of a lion; but as dew on the grass, so is his favour.
New TestamentKing James Version

Acts 5:1–21

1But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. 12And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch. 13And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. 14And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) 15Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. 16There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. 17Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, 18And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. 19But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, 20Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. 21And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
