A reading from the book of 1 Chronicles. Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, behold, we are your bone and flesh. In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the Lord your God said to you, you shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel. So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of the Lord by Samuel and David. And all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land. The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, you will not come in here. Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is the city of David. David said, whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. And David lived in the stronghold. Therefore it was called the city of David. And he built the city all around from the millo in complete circuit. And Joab repaired the rest of the city, and David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him. Now these are the chiefs of David's mighty men who gave him strong support in his kingdom together with all Israel to make him king according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel. And this is an account of David's mighty men. Jashobeam, a hackmanite, was chief of the three. He wielded his spear against 300 whom he killed at one time. And next to him among the three mighty men was Eliezer, the son of Dodo, the Ahohite. He was with David at Pasdamon when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley, and the men fled from the Philistines. But he took his stand in the midst of the plot and defended it, except killed the Philistines. And the Lord saved them by a great victory. Three of the 30 chief men went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam. When the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim, David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. And David said longingly, o that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, that is by the gate. Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem. That was by the gate and took it and brought it to David. But David would not drink it. He poured it out to the Lord and said, far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men, for at the risk of their lives they brought it, therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men. Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the 30, and he wielded his spear against 300 men and killed them and won a name beside the three. He was the most renowned of the 30 and became their commander. But he did not attain to the three. And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two heroes, a Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. And he struck down an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver's beam. But Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched a spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear. These things did Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada and won a name beside the three mighty men. He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three, and David set him over his bodyguard. The mighty men were Asahel the brother of Joab Elhanan, the son of Dodo of Bethlehem Shamath of Harad Helez the Pelonite, Ira, the son of Ikesh of Tekoa, Abiezer of Anathoth Sibbechai the Hushathite, Eli the Ahohite, Maori of Netophah Helad the son of Baanah of Netophah, Ithi the son of Ribbi of Gibeah of the People of Benjamin Benaiah of Parathan, Huri of the Brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite, Asmopheth of Baoram, Eliabah the Sheolbanite, Hashem the Gezonite, Jonathan the son of Shaggi, the Hararite, Ahayam the son of Sakar, the Harorite, Eliphel the son of Ur, Hefer the Macharethite, Ahijah the Pelaanite Hezro of Carmel Neri the son of Bezbai Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Hagri, Zelek the Ammonite, Nehri of Beroth, the armor bearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah, Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, Uriah the Hittite Zabad the son of Ali, Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a leader of the Reubenites and 30 with him, Hanun the son of Maacah and Jehoshaphat, the Mithnite, Uzziah the Ashtorethite, Shema and Jael, the sons of Hotham the Arorite, Jediel the son of Shimri and Johah, his brother, the Tizite, Eliel the Mahipite and Jerobi and Jashaviah the sons of Elnaim and Ifmah, the Moabite, Eliel and Obed and Jaaziel the Mezobeid. A reading from the Book of Psalms to the choirmaster. According to the Giddith. A psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants you have established strength because of your foes, to steal the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place. What is man, that you are mindful of him, and the Son of Man, that you care for him. Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen and. And also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea. Whatever passes along the paths of the seas. O Lord our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. A reading of the Gospel according to Matthew. And he called to him his 12 disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to cast them out and to heal every disease and every affliction. The names of the twelve apostles are. First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother James the son of Zebedee and John, his brother Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. These 12 Jesus sent out instructing them, go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and proclaim as you go, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons you received without paying, give without pay, acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belt, no bag for your journey or two tunics or sandals or a staff for the laborer deserves his food. In whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. As you enter the house, greet it. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on that day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town. Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. So be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues. And you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake to bear witness before them and the Gentiles when they deliver you over. Do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say. For what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the spirit of your father speaking through you. Brother will deliver brother over to death. Brother. And the father, his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. For truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household? So have no fear of them. For nothing is covered that will not be revealed or hidden, that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows. So Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter in law against her mother in law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it. And whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Whoever receives you receives me. And whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward. And the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.
