David subdues all the adversaries of Israel and reigns in justice over the people. The Ammonites insult David’s messengers and plan war against Israel. David defeats the Ammonites and the Syrians. The Ammonites are overcome. Israel defeats the Philistines. David sins by numbering Israel. The Lord sends pestilence upon the people. David offers sacrifices and the plague is stayed. David prepares gold, silver, brass, iron, stone, and cedar wood for the temple. He charges Solomon to do the work of building it. Solomon is made king. The Levites are numbered and assigned their various religious duties.
