For day by day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army like the army of God.

Jacob said when he saw them, “This is God’s camp.” So he named that place Mahanaim.

He said, “No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the Lord.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?”

So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David; and David grew steadily stronger, but the house of Saul grew weaker continually.

“Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way,
And he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
