of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
004:040 They found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet,
and peaceable; for those who lived there before were of Ham.
004:041 These written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,
and struck their tents, and the Meunim who were found there,
and destroyed them utterly to this day, and lived in their place;
because there was pasture there for their flocks.
004:042 Some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men,
went to Mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah,

004:043 They struck the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped,
and have lived there to this day.
005:001 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was
the firstborn; but, because he defiled his father's couch,
his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel;
and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
005:002 For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the prince;
but the birthright was Joseph's:)

005:004 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

005:007 His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their
generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
005:008 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,
who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon:
005:009 and eastward he lived even to the entrance of the wilderness
from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied
in the land of Gilead.
005:010 In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell
by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all
the [land] east of Gilead.
005:011 The sons of Gad lived over against them, in the land of
Bashan to Salecah:
005:012 Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai,
and Shaphat in Bashan.

005:018 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe
of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword,
and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four
thousand seven hundred and sixty, that were able to go
forth to war.
005:019 They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.
005:020 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered
into their hand, and all who were with them; for they
cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them,
because they put their trust in him.
005:021 They took away their livestock; of their camels fifty thousand,
and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys
two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.
005:022 For there fell many slain, because the war was of God.
They lived in their place until the captivity.
005:023 The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land:
they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir
and Mount Hermon.
005:024 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: even Epher,
and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah,
and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of
their fathers' houses.
005:025 They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played
the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land,
whom God destroyed before them.
005:026 The God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria,
and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria,
and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites,
and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah,
and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.

009:001 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and behold,
they are written in the book of the kings of Israel: and Judah
was carried away captive to Babylon for their disobedience.
009:002 Now the first inhabitants who lived in their possessions
in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites,
and the Nethinim.
009:003 In Jerusalem lived of the children of Judah, and of the children

009:014 Of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam,

009:017 The porters: Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman,
and their brothers (Shallum was the chief),
009:018 who hitherto [waited] in the king's gate eastward:
they were the porters for the camp of the children of Levi.
009:019 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah,
and his brothers, of his father's house, the Korahites, were over
the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent:
and their fathers had been over the camp of Yahweh,
keepers of the entry.
009:020 Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them in time past,
[and] Yahweh was with him.
009:021 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door
of the tent of meeting.
009:022 All these who were chosen to be porters in the thresholds
were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by genealogy
in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain
in their office of trust.
009:023 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates
of the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, by wards.
009:024 On the four sides were the porters, toward the east,
west, north, and south.
009:025 Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven
days from time to time to be with them:
009:026 for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office
of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries
in the house of God.
009:027 They lodged round about the house of God, because the charge
[of it] was on them; and to them pertained the opening of it
morning by morning.
009:028 Certain of them had charge of the vessels of service; for by count
were these brought in and by count were these taken out.
009:029 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over
all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour,
and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
009:030 Some of the sons of the priests prepared the confection
of the spices.
009:031 Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum
the Korahite, had the office of trust over the things that
were baked in pans.
009:032 Some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites,
were over the show bread, to prepare it every Sabbath.
009:033 These are the singers, heads of fathers' [houses] of the Levites,
[who lived] in the chambers [and were] free [from other service];
for they were employed in their work day and night.
009:034 These were heads of fathers' [houses] of the Levites,
throughout their generations, chief men: these lived at Jerusalem.
009:035 In Gibeon there lived the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, whose wife's
name was Maacah:
009:036 and his firstborn son Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal,
and Ner, and Nadab,
009:037 and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
009:038 Mikloth became the father of Shimeam. They also lived with
their brothers in Jerusalem, over against their brothers.
009:039 Ner became the father of Kish; and Kish became the father of Saul;
and Saul became the father of Jonathan, and Malchishua,
and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
009:040 The son of Jonathan was Merib Baal; and Merib Baal became
the father of Micah.
009:041 The sons of Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, [and Ahaz].
009:042 Ahaz became the father of Jarah; and Jarah became the father
of Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri became
the father of Moza;
009:043 and Moza became the father of Binea; and Rephaiah his son,
Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
009:044 Azel had six sons, whose names are these: Azrikam, Bocheru,
and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan:
these were the sons of Azel.
010:001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of
Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain
on Mount Gilboa.
010:002 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons;
and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua,
the sons of Saul.
010:003 The battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him;
and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
010:004 Then said Saul to his armor bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me
through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.
But his armor bearer would not; for he was sore afraid.
Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
010:005 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell
on his sword, and died.
010:006 So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together.
010:007 When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled,
and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities,
and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
010:008 It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came
to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen
on Mount Gilboa.
010:009 They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor,
and sent into the land of the Philistines round about,
to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.
010:010 They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened
his head in the house of Dagon.
010:011 When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had
done to Saul,
010:012 all the valiant men arose, and took away the body of Saul,
and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried
their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
010:013 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh,
because of the word of Yahweh, which he didn't keep; and also
because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit,
to inquire [thereby],
010:014 and didn't inquire of Yahweh: therefore he killed him,
and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
011:001 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron,
saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
011:002 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led
out and brought in Israel: and Yahweh your God said to you,
You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall
be prince over my people Israel.
011:003 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron;
and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh;
and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word
of Yahweh by Samuel.
011:004 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus);
and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
011:005 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come in here.
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is
the city of David.
011:006 David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be
chief and captain. Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first,
and was made chief.
011:007 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it
the city of David.
011:008 He built the city round about, from Millo even round about;
and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
011:009 David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.
011:010 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had,
who shown themselves strong with him in his kingdom,
together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word
of Yahweh concerning Israel.
011:011 This is the number of the mighty men whom David had:
Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty;
he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them
at one time.
011:012 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was
one of the three mighty men.
011:013 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were
gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full
of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
011:014 They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed
the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.
011:015 Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David,
into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines
were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
011:016 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the
Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
011:017 David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink
of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
011:018 The three broke through the army 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 of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,
011:019 and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this:
shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their
lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives
they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it.
These things did the three mighty men.
011:020 Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three;
for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them,
and had a name among the three.
011:021 Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made
their captain: however he didn't attain to the [first] three.
011:022 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel,
who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two [sons of] Ariel
of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst
of a pit in time of snow.
011:023 He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high;
and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam;
and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear
out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
011:024 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name
among the three mighty men.
011:025 Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn't
attain to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.
011:026 Also the mighty men of the armies: Asahel the brother
of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
011:027 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,
011:028 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,
