2 Samuel 1:12; 2 Samuel 1:14; 2 Samuel 1:16; 2 Samuel 2:1; 2 Samuel 2:5; 2 Samuel 2:6; 2 Samuel 3:9; 2 Samuel 3:18; 2 Samuel 3:28; 2 Samuel 3:39; 2 Samuel 4:8; 2 Samuel 4:9; 2 Samuel 5:2; 2 Samuel 5:3; 2 Samuel 5:10; 2 Samuel 5:12; 2 Samuel 5:19; 2 Samuel 5:20; 2 Samuel 5:23; 2 Samuel 5:24; 2 Samuel 5:25; 2 Samuel 6:2; 2 Samuel 6:5; 2 Samuel 6:7; 2 Samuel 6:8; 2 Samuel 6:9; 2 Samuel 6:10; 2 Samuel 6:11; 2 Samuel 6:12; 2 Samuel 6:13; 2 Samuel 6:14; 2 Samuel 6:15; 2 Samuel 6:16; 2 Samuel 6:17; 2 Samuel 6:18; 2 Samuel 6:21; 2 Samuel 7:1; 2 Samuel 7:3; 2 Samuel 7:4; 2 Samuel 7:5; 2 Samuel 7:8; 2 Samuel 7:11; 2 Samuel 7:18; 2 Samuel 7:22; 2 Samuel 7:24; 2 Samuel 7:25; 2 Samuel 7:26; 2 Samuel 7:27; 2 Samuel 8:6; 2 Samuel 8:11; 2 Samuel 8:14; 2 Samuel 10:12; 2 Samuel 12:1; 2 Samuel 12:5; 2 Samuel 12:7; 2 Samuel 12:9; 2 Samuel 12:11; 2 Samuel 12:13; 2 Samuel 12:14; 2 Samuel 12:15; 2 Samuel 12:20; 2 Samuel 12:22; 2 Samuel 12:24; 2 Samuel 14:11; 2 Samuel 14:17; 2 Samuel 15:7; 2 Samuel 15:8; 2 Samuel 15:21; 2 Samuel 15:25; 2 Samuel 15:31; 2 Samuel 16:8; 2 Samuel 16:10; 2 Samuel 16:11; 2 Samuel 16:12; 2 Samuel 16:18; 2 Samuel 17:14; 2 Samuel 18:19; 2 Samuel 18:28; 2 Samuel 18:31; 2 Samuel 19:7; 2 Samuel 19:21; 2 Samuel 21:1; 2 Samuel 21:6; 2 Samuel 21:7; 2 Samuel 21:9; 2 Samuel 22:1; 2 Samuel 22:2; 2 Samuel 22:4; 2 Samuel 22:7; 2 Samuel 22:14; 2 Samuel 22:16; 2 Samuel 22:19; 2 Samuel 22:21; 2 Samuel 22:22; 2 Samuel 22:25; 2 Samuel 22:29; 2 Samuel 22:31; 2 Samuel 22:32; 2 Samuel 22:42; 2 Samuel 22:47; 2 Samuel 22:50; 2 Samuel 23:2; 2 Samuel 23:10; 2 Samuel 23:12; 2 Samuel 23:17; 2 Samuel 24:1; 2 Samuel 24:3; 2 Samuel 24:10; 2 Samuel 24:11; 2 Samuel 24:12; 2 Samuel 24:14; 2 Samuel 24:15; 2 Samuel 24:16; 2 Samuel 24:17; 2 Samuel 24:18; 2 Samuel 24:19; 2 Samuel 24:21; 2 Samuel 24:23; 2 Samuel 24:24; 2 Samuel 24:25

2 Samuel 1:12

12 They mourned and wept and fasted till evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the army of the LORD and for the nation of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

2 Samuel 1:14

14 David asked him, “Why weren’t you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”

2 Samuel 1:16

16 For David had said to him, “Your blood be on your own head. Your own mouth testified against you when you said, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’ ”

2 Samuel 2:1

1 In the course of time, David inquired of the LORD. “Shall I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” he asked. The LORD said, “Go up.” David asked, “Where shall I go?” “To Hebron,” the LORD answered.

2 Samuel 2:5

5 he sent messengers to them to say to them, “The LORD bless you for showing this kindness to Saul your master by burying him.

2 Samuel 2:6

6 May the LORD now show you kindness and faithfulness, and I too will show you the same favor because you have done this.

2 Samuel 3:9

9 May God deal with Abner, be it ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD promised him on oath

2 Samuel 3:18

18 Now do it! For the LORD promised David, ‘By my servant David I will rescue my people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.’ ”

2 Samuel 3:28

28 Later, when David heard about this, he said, “I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.

2 Samuel 3:39

39 And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are too strong for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil deeds!”

2 Samuel 4:8

8 They brought the head of Ish-Bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, your enemy, who tried to kill you. This day the LORD has avenged my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”

2 Samuel 4:9

9 David answered Rekab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has delivered me out of every trouble,

2 Samuel 5:2

2 In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the LORD said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’ ”

2 Samuel 5:3

3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel.

2 Samuel 5:10

10 And he became more and more powerful, because the LORD God Almighty was with him.

2 Samuel 5:12

12 Then David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

2 Samuel 5:19

19 so David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?” The LORD answered him, “Go, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.”

2 Samuel 5:20

20 So David went to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, the LORD has broken out against my enemies before me.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.

2 Samuel 5:23

23 so David inquired of the LORD, and he answered, “Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the poplar trees.

2 Samuel 5:24

24 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.”

2 Samuel 5:25

25 So David did as the LORD commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

2 Samuel 6:2

2 He and all his men went to Baalah in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim on the ark.

2 Samuel 6:5

5 David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before the LORD, with castanets, harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.

2 Samuel 6:7

7 The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God.

2 Samuel 6:8

8 Then David was angry because the LORD’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.

2 Samuel 6:9

9 David was afraid of the LORD that day and said, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”

2 Samuel 6:10

10 He was not willing to take the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

2 Samuel 6:11

11 The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and his entire household.

2 Samuel 6:12

12 Now King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.

2 Samuel 6:13

13 When those who were carrying the ark of the LORD had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.

2 Samuel 6:14

14 Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the LORD with all his might,

2 Samuel 6:15

15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets.

2 Samuel 6:16

16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.

2 Samuel 6:17

17 They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the LORD.

2 Samuel 6:18

18 After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD Almighty.

2 Samuel 6:21

21 David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the LORD.

2 Samuel 7:1

1 After the king was settled in his palace and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies around him,

2 Samuel 7:3

3 Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the LORD is with you.”

2 Samuel 7:4

4 But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying:

2 Samuel 7:5

5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in?

2 Samuel 7:8

8 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel.

2 Samuel 7:11

11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. “ ‘The LORD declares to you that the LORD himself will establish a house for you:

2 Samuel 7:18

18 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: “Who am I, Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

2 Samuel 7:22

22 “How great you are, Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.

2 Samuel 7:24

24 You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, LORD, have become their God.

2 Samuel 7:25

25 “And now, LORD God, keep forever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised,

2 Samuel 7:26

26 so that your name will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The LORD Almighty is God over Israel!’ And the house of your servant David will be established in your sight.

2 Samuel 7:27

27 “LORD Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ So your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.

2 Samuel 8:6

6 He put garrisons in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to him and brought tribute. The LORD gave David victory wherever he went.

2 Samuel 8:11

11 King David dedicated these articles to the LORD, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued:

2 Samuel 8:14

14 He put garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The LORD gave David victory wherever he went.

2 Samuel 10:12

12 Be strong, and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight.”

2 Samuel 12:1

1 The LORD sent Nathan to David. When he came to him, he said, “There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor.

2 Samuel 12:5

5 David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this must die!

2 Samuel 12:7

7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.

2 Samuel 12:9

9 Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

2 Samuel 12:11

11 “This is what the LORD says: ‘Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity on you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight.

2 Samuel 12:13

13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan replied, “The LORD has taken away your sin. You are not going to die.

2 Samuel 12:14

14 But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for the LORD, the son born to you will die.”

2 Samuel 12:15

15 After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.

2 Samuel 12:20

20 Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate.

2 Samuel 12:22

22 He answered, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let the child live.’

2 Samuel 12:24

24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and made love to her. She gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. The LORD loved him;

2 Samuel 14:11

11 She said, “Then let the king invoke the LORD his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son will not be destroyed.” “As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “not one hair of your son’s head will fall to the ground.”

2 Samuel 14:17

17 “And now your servant says, ‘May the word of my lord the king secure my inheritance, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.’ ”

2 Samuel 15:7

7 At the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, “Let me go to Hebron and fulfill a vow I made to the LORD.

2 Samuel 15:8

8 While your servant was living at Geshur in Aram, I made this vow: ‘If the LORD takes me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron. ’ ”

2 Samuel 15:21

21 But Ittai replied to the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be.”

2 Samuel 15:25

25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Take the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me back and let me see it and his dwelling place again.

2 Samuel 15:31

31 Now David had been told, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “LORD, turn Ahithophel’s counsel into foolishness.”

2 Samuel 16:8

8 The LORD has repaid you for all the blood you shed in the household of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. The LORD has given the kingdom into the hands of your son Absalom. You have come to ruin because you are a murderer!”

2 Samuel 16:10

10 But the king said, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? If he is cursing because the LORD said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why do you do this?’ ”

2 Samuel 16:11

11 David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.

2 Samuel 16:12

12 It may be that the LORD will look upon my misery and restore to me his covenant blessing instead of his curse today.”

2 Samuel 16:18

18 Hushai said to Absalom, “No, the one chosen by the LORD, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him.

2 Samuel 17:14

14 Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The advice of Hushai the Arkite is better than that of Ahithophel.” For the LORD had determined to frustrate the good advice of Ahithophel in order to bring disaster on Absalom.

2 Samuel 18:19

19 Now Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Let me run and take the news to the king that the LORD has vindicated him by delivering him from the hand of his enemies.”

2 Samuel 18:28

28 Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, “All is well!” He bowed down before the king with his face to the ground and said, “Praise be to the LORD your God! He has delivered up those who lifted their hands against my lord the king.”

2 Samuel 18:31

31 Then the Cushite arrived and said, “My lord the king, hear the good news! The LORD has vindicated you today by delivering you from the hand of all who rose up against you.”

2 Samuel 19:7

7 Now go out and encourage your men. I swear by the LORD that if you don’t go out, not a man will be left with you by nightfall. This will be worse for you than all the calamities that have come on you from your youth till now.”

2 Samuel 19:21

21 Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this? He cursed the LORD’s anointed.”

2 Samuel 21:1

1 During the reign of David, there was a famine for three successive years; so David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, “It is on account of Saul and his blood-stained house; it is because he put the Gibeonites to death.”

2 Samuel 21:6

6 let seven of his male descendants be given to us to be killed and their bodies exposed before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul—the LORD’s chosen one.” So the king said, “I will give them to you.”

2 Samuel 21:7

7 The king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.

2 Samuel 21:9

9 He handed them over to the Gibeonites, who killed them and exposed their bodies on a hill before the LORD. All seven of them fell together; they were put to death during the first days of the harvest, just as the barley harvest was beginning.

2 Samuel 22:1

1 David sang to the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

2 Samuel 22:2

2 He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

2 Samuel 22:4

4 “I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.

2 Samuel 22:7

7 “In my distress I called to the LORD; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.

2 Samuel 22:14

14 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.

2 Samuel 22:16

16 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.

2 Samuel 22:19

19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support.

2 Samuel 22:21

21 “The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

2 Samuel 22:22

22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I am not guilty of turning from my God.

2 Samuel 22:25

25 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.

2 Samuel 22:29

29 You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light.

2 Samuel 22:31

31 “As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

2 Samuel 22:32

32 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

2 Samuel 22:42

42 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but he did not answer.

2 Samuel 22:47

47 “The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!

2 Samuel 22:50

50 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.

2 Samuel 23:2

2 “The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; his word was on my tongue.

2 Samuel 23:10

10 but Eleazar stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. The troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead.

2 Samuel 23:12

12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the LORD brought about a great victory.

2 Samuel 23:17

17 “Far be it from me, LORD, to do this!” he said. “Is it not the blood of men who went at the risk of their lives?” And David would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.

2 Samuel 24:1

1 Again the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and he incited David against them, saying, “Go and take a census of Israel and Judah.”

2 Samuel 24:3

3 But Joab replied to the king, “May the LORD your God multiply the troops a hundred times over, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king want to do such a thing?”

2 Samuel 24:10

10 David was conscience-stricken after he had counted the fighting men, and he said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. Now, LORD, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing.”

2 Samuel 24:11

11 Before David got up the next morning, the word of the LORD had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:

2 Samuel 24:12

12 “Go and tell David, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’ ”

2 Samuel 24:14

14 David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into human hands.”

2 Samuel 24:15

15 So the LORD sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.

2 Samuel 24:16

16 When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the LORD relented concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

2 Samuel 24:17

17 When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the LORD, “I have sinned; I, the shepherd, have done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Let your hand fall on me and my family.”

2 Samuel 24:18

18 On that day Gad went to David and said to him, “Go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

2 Samuel 24:19

19 So David went up, as the LORD had commanded through Gad.

2 Samuel 24:21

21 Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” “To buy your threshing floor,” David answered, “so I can build an altar to the LORD, that the plague on the people may be stopped.”

2 Samuel 24:23

23 Your Majesty, Araunah gives all this to the king.” Araunah also said to him, “May the LORD your God accept you.”

2 Samuel 24:24

24 But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver for them.

2 Samuel 24:25

25 David built an altar to the LORD there and sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings. Then the LORD answered his prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.
