These were potters and dwelt among trees and hedges and were in the king's work and dwelt even there.

And they found fat pasture and good and a wide land both quiet and fruitful: for they of Ham dwelt there before.

And these now afore written by name went in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote the tents of them and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and there dwelt in their rooms: because there was pasture there for their sheep.

And thereto there went of the said children of Simeon five hundred men - Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah and Uzziel the sons of Ishi being their heads -

and smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped and they dwelt there unto this day.

for there fell many dead because the war was of God. And they dwelt there in their steads until the time that they were carried away.

And when all the elders of Israel were come to the king to Hebron, David made a covenant with them there before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Samuel.

And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem which is Jebus: for there dwelt the Jebusites the inhabiters of the land.

He was with David at Pasdammim where the Philistines were gathered to battle. And there was there a parcel of ground full of barley, and the people fled for fear of the Philistines.

And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David, when he kept a hold in the wilderness, men of might and men apt for war and could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were thereto as swift as the roes of the mountains:

And they put to flight them of the valley both of the east side and also of the west. And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold of David.

And David went out to them and answered and said to them, "If ye be come peaceably unto me, to help me, mine heart shall be together with you. But and if you come to beguile me and to be mine adversary, seeing there is no wickedness in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon and rebuke it."

And of Manasseh, there fell certain unto David when he went with the Philistines against Saul to battle, but helped them not. For the lords of the Philistines took counsel and sent him away saying, "He will fall to his master Saul to the Jeopardy of our heads."

And as he went to Ziklag there fell to him of Manasseh: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, and Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, heads of the thousands of Manasseh.

And there came one or other to David day by day to help him: until it was a great host, like the host of God.

And there they were with David three days eating and drinking: for their brethren prepared for them.

Moreover, they that were nigh to them, as Issachar, Zebulun and, Naphtali, brought bread on asses, camels, mules and oxen, and meat: flour, figs, raisins, wine, oil, oxen, and sheep abundantly. For there was mirth in Israel.

And there he died before God. And David was displeased, because the LORD had rent a rent in Uzzah, and called the said place Perezuzzah unto this day.

And when they were come as far as Baalperazim, David beat them there. And David said, "God hath divided mine enemies with mine hand as a man would divide water." And therefore they called the name of the said place Baalperazim.

And they left their gods there, which David bade to be burnt with fire.

For because ye were not there at the first time, the LORD our God made a rent among us, for that we sought him not as the fashion ought to be."

And he left there before the ark of the LORD's covenant, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the Ark evermore day by day.

to show all bounteousness LORD, there is none like thee, nor any God save thou, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

And there went that told David how the men were served. And the king sent to meet them - for the men were exceedingly ashamed - and said, "Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return."

And David took the crown of their king off his head, and found therein the weight of a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it, and it was set on David's head. And he brought out also the spoil of the city, which was exceeding much.

After that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines. At which time Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai that was of the children of Rephaim, and they were subdued.

And there was battle again with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear was like the beam of a weaver.

And there chanced yet again war at Gath, where was a man of a size with twenty four fingers and toes, six on every hand and six on every foot, and was the son of Haraphah and defied Israel.

And the LORD sent pestilence upon all Israel, so that there were overthrown of Israel seventy thousand men.

And David built there an altar unto the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings and called unto the LORD and he heard him from heaven in fire upon the altar of burnt offering.

At that time, when David saw that the LORD had heard him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he used to offer there.

And of gold, silver, brass and iron there is no number. Up, therefore, and set upon it, and the LORD shall be with thee."

And there were more mighty heads found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar. And they divided them into sixteen heads of ancient households of the sons of Eleazar, and eight of the sons of Ithamar.

And they put them in order by lot, one with another that there should be rulers in the sanctuary and lords before God as well of the sons of Ithamar as of the sons of Eleazar.

And Jerijah was the chiefest among the kindreds and fathers of the Hebronites. And in the fortieth year of the kingdom of David they were sought for. And there were found of them men of activity at Jazer in Gilead.

And Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number. And though he finished it not, yet there fell wrath for that upon Israel. And therefore the number was not put in the chronicles of king David.

For we be but strangers before thee and tenants, as were all our fathers. Our days on the earth is but a shadow, and there is none abiding.
