CHAPTER 10
1 Chronicles 10:1
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from
before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 1 Chronicles 10:2
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the
Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul. 1
Chronicles 10:3
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was
wounded of the archers.
1 Chronicles 10:4
4 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.
1 Chronicles 10:5
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the
sword, and died.
1 Chronicles 10:6
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together. 1
Chronicles 10:7
7 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. 1 Chronicles 10:8
8 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. 1 Chronicles
10:9
9 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.
1 Chronicles 10:10
10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head
in the temple of Dagon.
1 Chronicles 10:11
11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
1 Chronicles 10:12
12 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. 1 Chronicles 10:13
13 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; 1 Chronicles 10:14
14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom
unto David the son of Jesse. CHAPTER 11
1 Chronicles 11:1
1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we
are thy bone and thy flesh.
1 Chronicles 11:2
2 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.
1 Chronicles 11:3
3 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. 1
Chronicles 11:4
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the
Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 1 Chronicles 11:5
5 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. 1
Chronicles 11:6
6 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. 1
Chronicles 11:7
7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David. 1
Chronicles 11:8
8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab
repaired the rest of the city.
1 Chronicles 11:9
9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him. 1
Chronicles 11:10
10 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. 1 Chronicles 11:11
11 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.
1 Chronicles 11:12
12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the
three mighties.
1 Chronicles 11:13
13 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. 1 Chronicles 11:14
14 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. 1
Chronicles 11:15
15 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.
1 Chronicles 11:16
16 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at
Bethlehem.
1 Chronicles 11:17
17 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! 1 Chronicles 11:18
18 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,
1 Chronicles 11:19
19 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. 1 Chronicles 11:20
20 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.
1 Chronicles 11:21
21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their
captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three. 1 Chronicles 11:22
22 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. 1 Chronicles 11:23
23 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.
1 Chronicles 11:24
24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the
three mighties.
1 Chronicles 11:25
25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first
three: and David set him over his guard. 1 Chronicles 11:26
26 Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab,
Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 1 Chronicles 11:27

1 Chronicles 12:1
1 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.
1 Chronicles 12:2
2 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.
1 Chronicles 12:3
3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and
Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite,

7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor. 1 Chronicles 12:8
8 And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to
the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could
handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and
were as swift as the roes upon the mountains; 1 Chronicles 12:9
9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, 1 Chronicles 12:10
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, 1 Chronicles 12:11
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 1 Chronicles 12:12
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, 1 Chronicles 12:13
13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh. 1 Chronicles 12:14
14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was
over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand. 1 Chronicles 12:15
15 These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had
overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both
toward the east, and toward the west. 1 Chronicles 12:16
16 And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto David.
1 Chronicles 12:17
17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be
come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if
ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine
hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. 1 Chronicles
12:18
18 Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he
said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be
unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then
David received them, and made them captains of the band. 1 Chronicles 12:19
19 And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the Philistines
against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords of the
Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to his
master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads. 1 Chronicles 12:20
20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad,
and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the
thousands that were of Manasseh. 1 Chronicles 12:21
21 And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all
mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host. 1 Chronicles 12:22
22 For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a
great host, like the host of God. 1 Chronicles 12:23
23 And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the war,
and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to
the word of the LORD.
1 Chronicles 12:24
24 The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and
eight hundred, ready armed to the war. 1 Chronicles 12:25
25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven thousand
and one hundred.
1 Chronicles 12:26
26 Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred. 1 Chronicles 12:27
27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three
thousand and seven hundred;
1 Chronicles 12:28
28 And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house twenty
and two captains.
1 Chronicles 12:29
29 And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand: for
hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of Saul. 1
Chronicles 12:30
30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred, mighty
men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers. 1 Chronicles 12:31
31 And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were expressed
by name, to come and make David king. 1 Chronicles 12:32
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of
the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two
hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 1 Chronicles 12:33
33 Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all
instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of
double heart.
1 Chronicles 12:34
34 And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and spear
thirty and seven thousand.
1 Chronicles 12:35
35 And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six hundred.
1 Chronicles 12:36
36 And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty thousand.
1 Chronicles 12:37
37 And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of
the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for the
battle, an hundred and twenty thousand. 1 Chronicles 12:38
38 All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to
Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel
were of one heart to make David king. 1 Chronicles 12:39
39 And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for their
brethren had prepared for them.
1 Chronicles 12:40
40 Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and
Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen,
and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil,
and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel. CHAPTER 13
1 Chronicles 13:1
1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with
every leader.
1 Chronicles 13:2
2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto
you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren
every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to
the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they
may gather themselves unto us: 1 Chronicles 13:3
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it
in the days of Saul.
1 Chronicles 13:4
4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right
in the eyes of all the people. 1 Chronicles 13:5
5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the
entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim. 1 Chronicles
13:6
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim,
which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that
dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it. 1 Chronicles
13:7
7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab:
and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart. 1 Chronicles 13:8
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with
singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with
cymbals, and with trumpets.
1 Chronicles 13:9
9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his
hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 1 Chronicles 13:10
10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him,
because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. 1 Chronicles
13:11
11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza:
wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day. 1 Chronicles 13:12
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of
God home to me?
1 Chronicles 13:13
13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but
carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. 1 Chronicles 13:14
14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three
months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
