For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

“大卫在世的时候遵行了神的旨意，就睡了，归到他祖宗那里，已见朽坏；

大卫在世的时候，遵行了上帝的旨意就长眠了，归到他祖宗那里，已见朽坏；

大卫在世的时候，遵行了神的旨意就长眠了，归到他祖宗那里，已见朽坏；

“大卫在世时遵行上帝的旨意，最后死了，葬在他祖先那里，肉身也朽坏了。

“大卫在他自己的世代里，遵行了神的计划，就睡了，归回他列祖那里，见了朽坏。

就是说，大卫虽然在自己的世代，遵行了神的计划之后就睡了，归到他祖先那里，并且经历了腐朽，

「大衛在世的時候遵行了神的旨意，就睡了，歸到他祖宗那裏，已見朽壞；

大衛在世的時候，遵行了上帝的旨意就長眠了，歸到他祖宗那裏，已見朽壞；

大衛在世的時候，遵行了神的旨意就長眠了，歸到他祖宗那裏，已見朽壞；

「大衛在世時遵行上帝的旨意，最後死了，葬在他祖先那裡，肉身也朽壞了。

“大衛在他自己的世代裡，遵行了神的計劃，就睡了，歸回他列祖那裡，見了朽壞。

論到大衛、他在自己的世代中奉行了上帝的計畫、就長眠下去，放在他祖宗旁邊，見了敗壞；

就是說，大衛雖然在自己的世代，遵行了神的計劃之後就睡了，歸到他祖先那裡，並且經歷了腐朽，

夫大衛在其世、行上帝之旨、既寢、歸其列祖而朽壞、

蓋大闢生時、遵上帝旨、卒則與祖同朽、

蓋大衛在世時、遵天主旨而盡其職、其後乃逝、逝原文作寢歸於列祖而朽壞、

夫大維在世、既完成天主之旨、及其既逝、與列祖同塋、則已朽壞；

“ Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.

“ David carried out God’s purpose while he lived. Then he died. He was buried with his people. His body rotted away.

For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption,

Men[ and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the[ son] of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

So also[ is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Then David said, This[ is] the house of the LORD God, and this[ is] the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.And David commanded to gather together the strangers that[ were] in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.And David said, Solomon my son[ is] young and tender, and the house[ that is] to be builded for the LORD[ must be] exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will[ therefore] now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I[ will be] his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.Moreover[ there are] workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron,[ there is] no number. Arise[ therefore], and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son,[ saying],[ Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he[ not] given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

That he should still live for ever,[ and] not see corruption.

And[ though] after my skin[ worms] destroy this[ body], yet in my flesh shall I see God:Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;[ though] my reins be consumed within me.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which[ belonged] to the kings; for they said, He[ is] a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been[ dead] four days.

So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou[ art], and unto dust shalt thou return.

So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obededom with joy.And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.And David[ was] clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also[ had] upon him an ephod of linen.Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.And it came to pass,[ as] the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

And said unto them, Ye[ are] the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves,[ both] ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto[ the place that] I have prepared for it.For because ye[ did it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren[ to be] the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If[ it seem] good unto you, and[ that it be] of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where,[ that are] left in all the land of Israel, and with them[ also] to the priests and Levites[ which are] in their cities[ and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

I have said to corruption, Thou[ art] my father: to the worm,[ Thou art] my mother, and my sister.

After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal[ must] put on immortality.So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go[ to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou[ wast] he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
