=>Devoutness of

1 Samuel 13:14

14. But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

2 Samuel 6:5-18

5. And DAVID and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

6. And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

7. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

8. And DAVID was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

9. And DAVID was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

10. So DAVID would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of DAVID: but DAVID carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

11. And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

12. And it was told king DAVID, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So DAVID went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of DAVID with gladness.

13. And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

14. And DAVID danced before the LORD with all his might; and DAVID was girded with a linen ephod.

15. So DAVID and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16. And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of DAVID, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king DAVID leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

17. And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that DAVID had pitched for it: and DAVID offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18. And as soon as DAVID had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

2 Samuel 7:18-29

18. Then went king DAVID in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19. And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

20. And what can DAVID say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.

21. For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

22. Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23. And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

24. For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.

25. And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

26. And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant DAVID be established before thee.

27. For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

28. And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

29. Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

2 Samuel 8:11

11. Which also king DAVID did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

2 Samuel 24:25

25. And DAVID built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
