Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were ,
the Israelites ,
the priests ,
Levites ,
and the Nethinims .
*
And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah ,
and of the children of Benjamin ,
and of the children of Ephraim ,
and Manasseh ;
*
Uthai the son of Ammihud ,
the son of Omri ,
the son of Imri ,
the son of Bani ,
of the children of Pharez the son of Judah .
*
And of the Shilonites ;
Asaiah the firstborn ,
and his sons .
*
And of the sons of Zerah ;
Jeuel ,
and their brethren ,
six hundred and ninety .
*
And of the sons of Benjamin ;
Sallu the son of Meshullam ,
the son of Hodaviah ,
the son of Hasenuah ,
*
And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham ,
and Elah the son of Uzzi ,
the son of Michri ,
and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah ,
the son of Reuel ,
the son of Ibnijah ;
*
And their brethren ,
according to their generations ,
nine hundred and fifty and six .
All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers .
*
And of the priests ;
Jedaiah ,
and Jehoiarib ,
and Jachin ,
*
And Azariah the son of Hilkiah ,
the son of Meshullam ,
the son of Zadok ,
the son of Meraioth ,
the son of Ahitub ,
the ruler of the house of God ;
*
And Adaiah the son of Jeroham ,
the son of Pashur ,
the son of Malchijah ,
and Maasiai the son of Adiel ,
the son of Jahzerah ,
the son of Meshullam ,
the son of Meshillemith ,
the son of Immer ;
*
And their brethren ,
heads of the house of their fathers ,
a thousand and seven hundred and threescore ;
very able men for the work of the service of the house of God .
*
And of the Levites ;
Shemaiah the son of Hasshub ,
the son of Azrikam ,
the son of Hashabiah ,
of the sons of Merari ;
*
And Bakbakkar ,
Heresh ,
and Galal ,
and Mattaniah the son of Micah ,
the son of Zichri ,
the son of Asaph ;
*
And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah ,
the son of Galal ,
the son of Jeduthun ,
and Berechiah the son of Asa ,
the son of Elkanah ,
that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites .
*
And the porters were ,
Shallum ,
and Akkub ,
and Talmon ,
and Ahiman ,
and their brethren :
Shallum was the chief ;
*
Who hitherto waited in the king '
s gate eastward :
they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi .
*
And Shallum the son of Kore ,
the son of Ebiasaph ,
the son of Korah ,
and his brethren ,
of the house of his father ,
the Korahites ,
were over the work of the service ,
keepers of the gates of the tabernacle :
and their fathers ,
being over the host of the LORD ,
were keepers of the entry .
*
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past ,
and the LORD was with him .
*
And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve .
These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages ,
whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office .
*
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 .
*
In four quarters were the porters ,
toward the east ,
west ,
north ,
and south .
*
And their brethren ,
which were in their villages ,
were to come after seven days from time to time with them .
*
For these Levites ,
the four chief porters ,
were in their set office ,
and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God .
*
And they lodged round about the house of God ,
because the charge was upon them ,
and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them .
*
And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels ,
that they should bring them in and out by tale .
*
Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels ,
and all the instruments of the sanctuary ,
and the fine flour ,
and the wine ,
and the oil ,
and the frankincense ,
and the spices .
*
And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices .
*
And Mattithiah ,
one of the Levites ,
who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite ,
had the set office over the things that were made in the pans .
*
And other of their brethren ,
of the sons of the Kohathites ,
were over the shewbread ,
to prepare it every sabbath .
*
And these are the singers ,
chief of the fathers of the Levites ,
who remaining in the chambers were free :
for they were employed in that work day and night .
*
These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations ;
these dwelt at Jerusalem .
*
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon ,
Jehiel ,
whose wife '
s name was Maachah :
*
And his firstborn son Abdon ,
then Zur ,
and Kish ,
and Baal ,
and Ner ,
and Nadab ,
*
And Gedor ,
and Ahio ,
and Zechariah ,
and Mikloth .
*
And Mikloth begat Shimeam .
And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem ,
over against their brethren .
*
And Ner begat Kish ;
and Kish begat Saul ;
and Saul begat Jonathan ,
and Malchishua ,
and Abinadab ,
and Eshbaal .
*
And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal :
and Meribbaal begat Micah .
*
And the sons of Micah were ,
Pithon ,
and Melech ,
and Tahrea ,
and Ahaz .
*
And Ahaz begat Jarah ;
and Jarah begat Alemeth ,
and Azmaveth ,
and Zimri ;
and Zimri begat Moza ;
*
And Moza begat Binea ;
and Rephaiah his son ,
Eleasah his son ,
Azel his son .
*
And Azel had six sons ,
whose names are these ,
Azrikam ,
Bocheru ,
and Ishmael ,
and Sheariah ,
and Obadiah ,
and Hanan :
these were the sons of Azel .
*
Now the Philistines fought against Israel ;
and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines ,
and fell down slain in mount Gilboa .
*
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul ,
and after his sons ;
and the Philistines slew Jonathan ,
and Abinadab ,
and Malchishua ,
the sons of Saul .
*
And the battle went sore against Saul ,
and the archers hit him ,
and he was wounded of the archers .
*
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 .
*
And it came to pass on the morrow ,
when the Philistines came to strip the slain ,
that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa .
*
And when they had stripped him ,
they took his head ,
and his armour ,
and sent into the land of the Philistines round about ,
to carry tidings unto their idols ,
and to the people .
*
And they put his armour in the house of their gods ,
and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon .
*
And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul ,
*
They arose ,
all the valiant men ,
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 .
*
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 enquire of it ;
*
And enquired not of the LORD :
therefore he slew him ,
and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse .
*
Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron ,
saying ,
Behold ,
we are thy bone and thy flesh .
*
And moreover in time past ,
even when Saul was king ,
thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel :
and the LORD thy God said unto thee ,
Thou shalt feed my people Israel ,
and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel .
*
Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron ;
and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD ;
and they anointed David king over Israel ,
according to the word of the LORD by Samuel .
*
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem ,
which is Jebus ;
where the Jebusites were ,
the inhabitants of the land .
*
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David ,
Thou shalt not come hither .
Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion ,
which 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 .
*
And David dwelt in the castle ;
therefore they called it the city of David .
*
And he built the city round about ,
even from Millo round about :
and Joab repaired the rest of the city .
*
So David waxed greater and greater :
for the LORD of hosts was with him .
*
These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had ,
who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom ,
and with all Israel ,
to make him king ,
according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel .
*
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had ;
Jashobeam ,
an Hachmonite ,
the chief of the captains :
he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time .
*
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo ,
the Ahohite ,
who was one of the three mighties .
*
He was with David at Pasdammim ,
and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle ,
where was a parcel of ground full of barley ;
and the people fled from before the Philistines .
*
And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel ,
and delivered it ,
and slew the Philistines ;
and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance .
*
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David ,
into the cave of Adullam ;
and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim .
*
And David was then in the hold ,
and the Philistines '
garrison was then at Bethlehem .
*
And David longed ,
and said ,
Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem ,
that is at the gate !
*
And the three brake through the host 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 the LORD ,
*
And said ,
My God forbid it me ,
that I should do this thing :
shall I drink the blood of these men that 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 these three mightiest .
*
And Abishai the brother of Joab ,
he was chief of the three :
for lifting up his spear against three hundred ,
he slew them ,
and had a name among the three .
*
Of the three ,
he was more honourable than the two ;
for he was their captain :
howbeit he attained not to the first three .
*
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ,
the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel ,
who had done many acts ;
he slew two lionlike men of Moab :
also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy 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 the son of Jehoiada ,
and had the name among the three mighties .
*
Behold ,
he was honourable among the thirty ,
but attained not to the first three :
and David set him over his guard .
*
Also the valiant men of the armies were ,
Asahel the brother of Joab ,
Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem ,
*
Shammoth the Harorite ,
Helez the Pelonite ,
*
Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite ,
Abiezer the Antothite ,
*
Sibbecai the Hushathite ,
Ilai the Ahohite ,
*
Maharai the Netophathite ,
Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite ,
*
Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah ,
that pertained to the children of Benjamin ,
Benaiah the Pirathonite ,
*
Hurai of the brooks of Gaash ,
Abiel the Arbathite ,
*
Azmaveth the Baharumite ,
Eliahba the Shaalbonite ,
*
The sons of Hashem the Gizonite ,
Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite ,
*
Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite ,
Eliphal the son of Ur ,
*
Hepher the Mecherathite ,
Ahijah the Pelonite ,
*
Hezro the Carmelite ,
Naarai the son of Ezbai ,
*
Joel the brother of Nathan ,
Mibhar the son of Haggeri ,
*
Zelek the Ammonite ,
Naharai the Berothite ,
the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah ,
*
Ira the Ithrite ,
Gareb the Ithrite ,
*
Uriah the Hittite ,
Zabad the son of Ahlai ,
*
Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite ,
a captain of the Reubenites ,
and thirty with him ,
*
Hanan the son of Maachah ,
and Joshaphat the Mithnite ,
*
Uzzia the Ashterathite ,
Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the Aroerite ,
*
Jediael the son of Shimri ,
and Joha his brother ,
the Tizite ,
*
Eliel the Mahavite ,
and Jeribai ,
and Joshaviah ,
the sons of Elnaam ,
and Ithmah the Moabite ,
*
Eliel ,
and Obed ,
and Jasiel the Mesobaite .
*
Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag ,
while he yet kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish :
and they were among the mighty men ,
helpers of the war .
