August – 10 | Day – 222
Old Testament: First Chronicles – 12 | Daniel – 3:77-100

1 Also, these went to David at Ziklag, while he was still fleeing from Saul, the son of Kish. And they were very strong and distinguished fighters,

2 bending the bow, and using either hand in casting stones with slings, and shooting arrows. From the brothers of Saul, out of Benjamin:

3 the leader was Ahiezer, with Joash, sons of Shemaah from Gibeah, and Jeziel and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah and Jehu, from Anathoth.

4 Also, there was Ishmaiah, from Gibeon, the strongest among the thirty and over the thirty; Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Jozabad, from Gederah;

5 and Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah, the Haruphites;

6 Elkanah, and Isshiah, and Azarel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, from Carehim;

7 and also Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham, from Gedor.

8 Then too, from Gad, there went over to David, when he was hiding in the desert, very robust men, who were excellent fighters, taking hold of shield and spear; their faces were like the faces of a lion, and they were swift like the roe deer upon the mountains.

9 Ezer was the leader, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh.

14 These were from the sons of Gad, leaders of the army. The least was in charge of one hundred soldiers, and the greatest was in charge of one thousand.

15 These are the ones who crossed over the Jordan in the first month, when it is accustomed to overflow its banks. And they put to flight all those who were staying in the valleys, to the eastern region and to the west.

16 Then some from Benjamin and from Judah also arrived at the stronghold where David was staying.

17 And David went out to meet them, and he said: “If you have arrived peacefully, so as to be a help to me, may my heart be joined to you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, though I have no iniquity in my hands, may the God of our fathers see and judge.”

18 Truly, the Spirit clothed Amasai, the leader among the thirty, and he said: “O David, we are yours! O son of Jesse, we are for you! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers. For your God helps you.” Therefore, David received them, and he appointed them as leaders of troops.

19 Moreover, some from Manasseh crossed over to David, when he went forth with the Philistines against Saul, so that he might fight. But he did not fight with them. For the leaders of the Philistines, taking counsel, sent him back, saying, “To the peril of our own heads, he will return to his lord, Saul.”

20 And so, when he returned to Ziklag, some fled over to him from Manasseh: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Adnah, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillethai, leaders of thousands in Manasseh.

21 These offered assistance to David against the robbers. For all were very strong men, and they became leaders in the army.

22 Then, too, some came to David throughout each day, in order to help him, until they became a great number, like the army of God.

23 Now this is the number of the leaders of the army who went to David when he was at Hebron, so that they might transfer the kingdom of Saul to him, in accord with the word of the Lord:

24 the sons of Judah, carrying shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred, equipped for battle;

25 from the sons of Simeon, very strong men for the fight, seven thousand one hundred;

26 from the sons of Levi, four thousand six hundred;

27 as well as Jehoiada, a leader from the stock of Aaron, and with him three thousand seven hundred;

28 and then Zadok, a youth of distinguished qualities, and the house of his father, twenty-two leaders;

29 and from the sons of Benjamin, brothers of Saul, three thousand, for still a great part of them were following the house of Saul.

30 Then from the sons of Ephraim, there were twenty thousand eight hundred, very strong and robust men, renowned among their kindred.

31 And out of the one half tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, each by their names, went forth so that they might appoint David as king.

32 Also, from the sons of Issachar, there were learned men, who knew each of the times, in order to anticipate what Israel ought to do, two hundred leaders. And all the remainder of the tribe were following their counsel.

33 Then, from Zebulun, there were those who went forth to battle, and who were standing in a battle line, prepared with the weapons of warfare; these fifty thousand arrived to assist, without duplicity of heart.

34 And from Naphtali, there were one thousand leaders; and with them were thirty-seven thousand, prepared with shield and spear.

35 And then from Dan, there were twenty-eight thousand six hundred, ready for battle.

36 And from Asher, there were forty thousand, going forth to fight, and summoned to the battle line.

37 Then, across the Jordan, there were, from the sons of Reuben, and from Gad, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, one hundred twenty thousand, prepared with the weapons of warfare.

38 All these men of war, equipped for the fight, went with a perfect heart to Hebron, so that they might appoint David as king over all of Israel. Then, too, all the remainder of Israel were of one heart, so that they might make David king.

39 And they were in that place with David for three days, eating and drinking. For their brothers had made preparations for them.

40 Moreover, those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing, on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen, bread for their provisions, with grain, dried figs, dried grapes, wine, oil, and oxen and sheep, with all abundance. For indeed, there was joy in Israel.

77 Fountains, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

78 Seas and rivers, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

79 Whales and all things that move in the waters, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

80 All things that fly in the heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

81 All beasts and cattle, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

82 Sons of men, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

83 May Israel bless the Lord: and praise and exalt him above all forever.

84 Priests of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

85 Servants of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

86 Spirits and souls of the just, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

87 Those who are holy and humble in heart, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever.

88 Hananiah, Azariah, Mishael, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all forever. For he has delivered us from the underworld, and saved us from the hand of death, and freed us from the midst of the burning flame, and rescued us from the midst of the fire.

89 Give thanks to the Lord because he is good: because his mercy is forever.

90 All those who are pious, bless the Lord, the God of gods: praise him and acknowledge him because his mercy is for all generations.”

91 Then king Nebuchadnezzar was astonished, and he quickly got up and said to his nobles: “Did we not cast three men shackled into the midst of the fire?” Answering the king, they said, “True, O king.”

92 He answered and said, “Behold, I see four men unbound and walking in the midst of the fire, and no harm is in them, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of God.”

93 Then Nebuchadnezzar approached the entrance of the furnace of burning fire, and he said, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the supreme God, come out and approach.” And immediately Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went out from the midst of the fire.

94 And when the governors, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the powerful of the king had gathered together, they considered these men because the fire had no power against their bodies, and not a hair of their head had been scorched, and their pants had not been affected, and the smell of the fire had not passed onto them.

95 Then Nebuchadnezzar, bursting out, said, “Blessed is their God, the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel and rescued his servants who believed in him. And they altered the verdict of the king, and they delivered up their bodies, so that they would not serve or adore any god except their God.

96 Therefore, this decree is established by me: that every people, tribe, and language, whenever they have spoken blasphemy against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, will perish and their homes will be destroyed. For there is no other God who is able to save in this way.”

97 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

98 NEBUCHADNEZZAR, the king, to all peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in the whole world, may peace be increased with you.

99 The supreme God has accomplished signs and wonders with me. Therefore, it has pleased me to proclaim

100 his signs, which are great, and his wonders, which are mighty. For his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power continues from generation to generation.

Psalms: Psalms – 92:4-10

4 Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.

5 For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

6 O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

7 The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.

8 When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:

9 But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

10 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

New Testament: Romans – 2

1 For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

2 For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.

3 But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness and patience and forbearance? Do you not know that the kindness of God is calling you to repentance?

5 But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.

6 For he will render to each one according to his works:

7 To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life.

8 But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.

9 Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

10 But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

11 For there is no favoritism with God.

12 For whoever had sinned without the law, will perish without the law. And whoever had sinned in the law, will be judged by the law.

13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but rather it is the doers of the law who shall be justified.

14 For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature those things which are of the law, such persons, not having the law, are a law unto themselves.

15 For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them,

16 unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

17 But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God,

18 and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law:

19 you become confident within yourself that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.

21 As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.

22 You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.

23 You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.

24 (For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)

25 Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26 And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?

27 And that which is by nature uncircumcised, if it fulfills the law, should it not judge you, who by the letter and by circumcision are a betrayer of the law?

28 For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh.

29 But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God.
