And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the
temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye
have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did,
and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were

Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected
praise?

of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the
houses withal: The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner
of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service
this day unto the LORD? Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the
captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly, And
gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams,
and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred
thousand talents of iron. And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the
treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. Then the people
rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the
LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. Wherefore David blessed the LORD
before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for
ever and ever. Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory,
and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O

that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his
house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he
had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the

give Pharaoh an answer of peace. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I
stood upon the bank of the river: And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the
eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this
is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God
hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over
my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will
I be greater than thou.

his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious
was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his
servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! And David said unto
Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to
appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.

prosper. And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and
that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise
the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the

they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
