- 2 Samuel 1
  
  1 It happened after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag;
  
  2 it happened on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn, and earth on his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and showed respect.
  
  3 David said to him, "Where do you come from?" He said to him, "I have escaped out of the camp of Israel."
  
  4 David said to him, "How did it go? Please tell me." He answered, "The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."
  
  5 David said to the young man who told him, "How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?"
  
  6 The young man who told him said, "As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed hard after him.
  
  7 When he looked behind him, he saw me, and called to me. I answered, 'Here I am.'
  
  8 He said to me, 'Who are you?' I answered him, 'I am an Amalekite.'
  
  9 He said to me, 'Please stand beside me, and kill me; for anguish has taken hold of me, because my life is yet whole in me.'
  
  10 So I stood beside him, and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord."
  
  11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and tore them; and likewise all the men who were with him.
  
  12 They mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Yahweh, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
  
  13 David said to the young man who told him, "Where are you from?" He answered, "I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite."
  
  14 David said to him, "How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy Yahweh's anointed?"
  
  15 David called one of the young men, and said, "Go near, and fall on him." He struck him, so that he died.
  
  16 David said to him, "Your blood be on your head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, 'I have slain Yahweh's anointed.'"
  
  17 David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
  
  18 (and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
  
  19 "Your glory, Israel, is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
  
  20 Don't tell it in Gath. Don't publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
  
  21 You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew nor rain on you, neither fields of offerings; For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
  
  22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan's bow didn't turn back. Saul's sword didn't return empty.
  
  23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
  
  24 You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet delicately, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
  
  25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places.
  
  26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
  
  27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!"
  
  Ezéchiel 10
  
  1 Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
  
  2 He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said, Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city. He went in as I watched.
  
  3 Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
  
  4 The glory of Yahweh mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh's glory.
  
  5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.
  
  6 It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim, that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.
  
  7 The cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.
  
  8 There appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.
  
  9 I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.
  
  10 As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.
  
  11 When they went, they went in their four directions: they didn't turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it; they didn't turn as they went.
  
  12 Their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.
  
  13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, the whirling wheels.
  
  14 Every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third face the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
  
  15 The cherubim mounted up: this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.
  
  16 When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn't turn from beside them.
  
  17 When they stood, these stood; and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
  
  18 The glory of Yahweh went forth from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.
  
  19 The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them: and they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
  
  20 This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.
  
  21 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
  
  22 As for the likeness of their faces, they were the faces which I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and themselves; they went every one straight forward.
  
  1 Corinthiens 12
  
  1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don't want you to be ignorant.
  
  2 You know that when you were heathen , you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
  
  3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.
  
  4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
  
  5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
  
  6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.
  
  7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
  
  8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
  
  9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;
  
  10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.
  
  11 But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
  
  12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
  
  13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
  
  14 For the body is not one member, but many.
  
  15 If the foot would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.
  
  16 If the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not therefore not part of the body.
  
  17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
  
  18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
  
  19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
  
  20 But now they are many members, but one body.
  
  21 The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."
  
  22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
  
  23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;
  
  24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
  
  25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
  
  26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
  
  27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
  
  28 God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
  
  29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
  
  30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
  
  31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.
