1 Chronicles · Chapter 9
So all Yisra'el were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they
were
written in the book of the kings of Yisra'el and Judah,
who
were carried away to Bavel for their transgression.
Now the first inhabitants that
dwelt in their possessions in their cities
were, the Israelites, the kohanim, Levites, and the Nethinims.
And in Yerushalayim 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 Shephatiah, 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 kohanim; 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 Elohim;
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 Elohim.
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 mishkan: and their fathers,
being over the host of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
were keepers of the entry.
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past,
and the master
was with him.
And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah
was porter of the door of the mishkan 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 Dawid and Shemu'el the seer did ordain in their set office.
So they and their children
had the oversight of the gates of the house of the master,
namely, the house of the mishkan, 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 Elohim.
And they lodged round about the house of Elohim, 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 kohanim 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 shabbat.
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 Yerushalayim.
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 Yerushalayim, over against their brethren.
And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Sha'ul; and Sha'ul begat Yonatan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal.
And the son of Yonatan
was Merib-baal: and Merib-baal 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.

1 Chronicles · Chapter 10
Now the Philistines fought against Yisra'el; and the men of Yisra'el fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
And the Philistines followed hard after Sha'ul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Yonatan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Sha'ul.
And the battle went sore against Sha'ul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
Then said Sha'ul 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 Sha'ul took a sword, and fell upon it.
And when his armourbearer saw that Sha'ul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
So Sha'ul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
And when all the men of Yisra'el that
were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Sha'ul 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 Sha'ul 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 heikhal of Dagon.
And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Sha'ul,
They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Sha'ul, 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 Sha'ul died for his transgression which he committed against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
even against the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), which he kept not, and also for asking
counsel of
one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire
of it;
And enquired not of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto Dawid the son of Jesse.

1 Chronicles · Chapter 11
Then all Yisra'el gathered themselves to Dawid unto Chevron, saying, Behold, we
are thy bone and thy flesh.
And moreover in time past, even when Sha'ul was king, thou
wast
he that leddest out and broughtest in Yisra'el: and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Yisra'el, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Yisra'el, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Yisra'el.
Therefore came all the elders of Yisra'el to the king to Chevron; and Dawid made a b'rit with them in Chevron before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and they anointed Dawid king over Yisra'el, according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by Shemu'el.
And Dawid and all Yisra'el went to Yerushalayim, which
is Jebus; where the Jebusites
were, the inhabitants of the land.
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to Dawid, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless Dawid took the castle of Tsiyon, which
is the city of Dawid.
And Dawid said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
And Dawid dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of Dawid.
And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
So Dawid waxed greater and greater: for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts
was
with him.
These also
are the chief of the mighty men whom Dawid had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom,
and with all Yisra'el, to make him king, according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) concerning Yisra'el.
And this
is the number of the mighty men whom Dawid 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 Dawid at Pas-dammim, 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 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) saved
them
by a great deliverance.
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to Dawid, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
And Dawid
was then in the hold, and the Philistines’ garrison
was then at Beit Lechem.
And Dawid longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beit Lechem, that
is at the gate!
And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beit Lechem, that
was by the gate, and took
it, and brought
it to Dawid: but Dawid would not drink
of it, but poured it out to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
And said, My Elohim 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 Dawid set him over his guard.
Also the valiant men of the armies
were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beit Lechem,
Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,
Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abi-ezer 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, Yonatan 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.
