So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.

And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, 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 Jehovah, keepers of the entry.

Eleazar's son Phinehas used to be Commander-in-Chief over them the LORD was with him.

Meshelemiah's son Zechariah was gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

To the four quarters will be the gates, from the sunrising, the sea, the north and the south.

but the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of God’s temple.

They spent the night around the house of God, for the [night] watch was theirs, and they were in charge of opening the house morning after morning.

The Philistines fought against Israel, and Israel’s men fled from them and were killed on Mount Gilboa.

And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.

Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in Mount Gilboa.

So they stript him, and took his head, and his armour, - and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.

They put Saul’s armor in the house of their gods and nailed up his head in the house (temple) of Dagon.

All the fighting-men came up and took away Saul's body and the bodies of his sons, and took them to Jabesh, and put their bones to rest under the oak-tree in Jabesh, and took no food for seven days.

So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;

and did not inquire of the Lord [instead]. Therefore the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.'

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by Samuel.

David and the whole Israelite army advanced to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). (The Jebusites, the land's original inhabitants, lived there.)

And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, 'Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion -- it is the city of David.

And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

Then David lived in the stronghold; so it was called the City of David.

So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.

Now these are the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who strongly supported him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, in accordance with the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty [heroes]. He lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed at one time.

Next to him among the Three Warriors was Dodo the Ahohite's son Eleazar.

so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines, - and Yahweh wrought a great victory.

Later, the Three Warriors went down to David's hideout at the cave of Adullam when the Philistine army was camping in the valley of giants.

David expressed a longing, "Oh, how I wish someone would get me a drink of water from the Bethlehem well that's by the city gate!"

So the Three broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the Lord.

and he said, “Far be it from me before my God that I would do this thing! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy? For they brought it at the risk of their lives.” So he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

Abishai, Joab’s brother, was the leader of the Three. He raised his spear against 300 men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.

Jehoiada's son Benaiah, who was a valiant man, accomplished great things. He was from Kabzeel. He killed two men named Ariel from Moab and then he also went down into a pit and struck down a lion during a snow storm one day.

And he slew 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 slew him with his own spear.

These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.

The fighting men were:

Joab’s brother Asahel,
Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

Ikkesh's son Ira from Tekoa, Abiezer from Anathoth,

Maharai from Netophah, Baanah's son Heled from Netophah,

Hezro from Carmel, Ezbai's son Naarai,

Joel (Nathan's brother), Hagri's son Mibhar,

Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armor bearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah [David’s half sister],

Uriah the Hittite [Bathsheba’s husband], Zabad the son of Ahlai,

Shiza the Reubenite's son Adina, a leader of the descendants of Reuben, along with thirty others with him,

Maacah's son Hanan, Joshaphat the Mithnite,

Uzzia the Ashterathite, Hotham the Aroerite's sons Shama and Jeiel,

Shimri's son Jediael and his brother Joha the Tizite,

Eliel the Mahavite, Elnaam's sons Jeribai and Joshaviah, Ithmah the Moabite,

Here's a list of those who came to David at Ziklag when he was unable to travel freely due to Saul son of Kish. They were among the elite soldiers who assisted him in battle.

They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin.

Their leaders were Shemaah's sons Ahiezer and Joash from Gibeah, Azmaveth's sons Jeziel and Pelet, Beracah, Jehu from Anathoth,
