1
 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2
 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
3
 and desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
4
 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly
thither.
5
 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with
me,
and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6
 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
7
 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
8
 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
9
 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
10
 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11
 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
12
 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
13
 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.
14
 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
15
 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed
me,
desiring
to have
judgment against him.
16
 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
17
 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
18
 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
19
 but had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20
 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked
him
whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
21
 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
22
 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself.
Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
23
 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.
24
 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and
also
here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
25
 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
26
 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
27
 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes
laid
against him.
To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.
1
 Give ear to my words, O L
ORD
, consider my meditation.
2
 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.
3
 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O L
ORD
; in the morning will I direct
my prayer
unto thee, and will look up.
4
 For thou
art
not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
5
 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6
 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the L
ORD
will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
7
 But as for me, I will come
into
thy house in the multitude of thy mercy:
and
in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8
 Lead me, O L
ORD
, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
9
 For
there is
no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part
is
very wickedness; their throat
is
an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10
 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
11
 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
12
 For thou, L
ORD
, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as
with
a shield.
19
 A brother offended
is harder to be won
than a strong city: and
their
contentions
are
like the bars of a castle.
18
 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war,
were
four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.
19
 And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
20
 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that
were
with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.
21
 And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.
22
 For there fell down many slain, because the war
was
of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
23
 And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
24
 And these
were
the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men,
and
heads of the house of their fathers.
25
 And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
26
 And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
