And the heart and soul of the multitude of those who had believed was one; and  ¹not even one said that any of his possessions was his own, but all things were  ²common to them.

And with great power the apostles gave  ¹testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great  ²grace was upon them all.

For neither was anyone among them in need; for as many as were owners of lands or of houses  ¹sold them and brought the proceeds of the things which were sold

And placed them at the feet of the apostles; and it was distributed to each, as anyone had need.

And Joseph, who was surnamed  ¹Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated, Son of encouragement), a Levite, a Cyprian by birth,

Who possessed a field, sold it and brought the sum of money and placed it at the feet of the apostles.

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property

And put aside for himself some of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it. And he brought some part of it and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to deceive the  ¹Holy Spirit and to put aside for yourself some of the proceeds of the land?

While it remained,  ¹was it not your own? And when it was sold, was it not under your authority? Why is it that you have  ²contrived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to  ³God.

And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down and  ¹expired; and great fear came upon all those who heard this.

And the young men arose and wrapped him up; and carrying him out, they buried him.

And it happened that after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you have sold the land for this much? And she said, Yes, for this much.

And Peter said to her, Why is it that it was  ¹agreed between you two to test the Spirit of the  ²Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.

And she fell down instantly at his feet and expired. And the young men came in and found her dead; and carrying her out, they buried her with her husband.

And great fear came upon the whole  ¹church and upon all those who heard these things.

And these are the children of Israel by their number, the heads of fathers' houses, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and their officers who  ¹served the king in all the matters of the divisions that came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year; for every division there were twenty-four thousand.

Over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

He was from the children of Perez, the chief of all the captains of the army for the first month.

And over the division of the second month was Dodai the Ahohite and his division, with Mikloth being the leader; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The third captain of the army for the third month was Benaiah the chief, the son of Jehoiada the priest; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

This is that Benaiah who was the mighty man of the thirty and who was over the thirty; and in his division was Ammizabad his son.

The fourth for the fourth month was Asahel the brother of Joab and Zebadiah his son after him; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The fifth for the fifth month was the captain Shamhuth the Izrahite and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The sixth for the sixth month was Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The seventh for the seventh month was Helez the Pelonite, from the children of Ephraim; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The eighth for the eighth month was Sibbecai the Hushathite, from the Zerahites; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The ninth for the ninth month was Abiezer the Anathothite, from the Benjamites; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The tenth for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite, from the Zerahites; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The eleventh for the eleventh month was Benaiah the Pirathonite, from the children of Ephraim; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

The twelfth for the twelfth month was Heldai the Netophathite, of Othniel; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

And  ¹over the tribes of Israel were these: for the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri, the leader; for the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah;

For Levi, Hashabiah the son of Kemuel; for Aaron, Zadok;

For Judah, Elihu, one of the brothers of David; for Issachar, Omri the son of Michael;

For Zebulun, Ishmaiah the son of Obadiah; for Naphtali, Jeremoth the son of Azriel;

For the children of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Azaziah; for the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joel the son of Pedaiah;

For the other half of Manasseh, in Gilead, Iddo the son of Zechariah; for Benjamin, Jaasiel the son of Abner;

For Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the captains of the tribes of Israel.

But David did not take the number of those from twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said He would increase Israel like the stars of heaven.

Joab the son of Zeruiah had begun to number them but did not finish; and because of this, wrath came upon Israel. Nor was the number put into the account in the chronicles of King David.

And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel; and over the treasures in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages and in the towers was Jonathan the son of Uzziah;

And over those who did the work of the field for tilling the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub;

And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite; and over the produce of the vineyards in the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite;

And over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the lowland was Baal-hanan the Gederite; and over the oil stores was Joash;

And over the cattle that grazed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite; and over the cattle that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai;

And over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite; and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite; and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite.

All these were the overseers of the property that belonged to King David.

In addition, Jonathan, David's uncle, was a counselor, a man of understanding, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king's sons;

And Ahithophel was the king's counselor; and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend;

And after Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, then Abiathar; and the captain of the king's army was Joab.
