Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag while he was still a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helpers in the war,armed with bows, using both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows with the bow. They were of Benjamin, Saul’s brethren.The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite;Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite;Elkanah, Jisshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,Jeremiah the tenth, and Machbanai the eleventh.These were from the sons of Gad, captains of the army; the least was over a hundred, and the greatest was over a thousand.These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold.And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them,“ If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment.”Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said:“ We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you.” So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.And some from Manasseh defected to David when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying,“ He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads.”When he went to Ziklag, those of Manasseh who defected to him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands who were from Manasseh.And they helped David against the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army.For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.Now these were the numbers of the divisions that were equipped for war, and came to David at Hebron to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the Lord:of the sons of Judah bearing shield and spear, six thousand eight hundred armed for war;of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor fit for war, seven thousand one hundred;of the sons of Levi four thousand six hundred;Jehoiada, the leader of the Aaronites, and with him three thousand seven hundred;Zadok, a young man, a valiant warrior, and from his father’s house twenty-two captains;of the sons of Benjamin, relatives of Saul, three thousand( until then the greatest part of them had remained loyal to the house of Saul);of the sons of Ephraim twenty thousand eight hundred, mighty men of valor, famous men throughout their father’s house;of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king;of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;of Zebulun there were fifty thousand who went out to battle, expert in war with all weapons of war, stouthearted men who could keep ranks;of Naphtali one thousand captains, and with them thirty-seven thousand with shield and spear;of the Danites who could keep battle formation, twenty-eight thousand six hundred;of Asher, those who could go out to war, able to keep battle formation, forty thousand;of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, from the other side of the Jordan, one hundred and twenty thousand armed for battle with every kind of weapon of war.All these men of war, who could keep ranks, came to Hebron with a loyal heart, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were of one mind to make David king.And they were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them.Moreover those who were near to them, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys and camels, on mules and oxen— provisions of flour and cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, wine and oil and oxen and sheep abundantly, for there was joy in Israel.

There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”And his brothers said to him,“ Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said,“ Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him,“ What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?”

Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying,“ Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?”And the Lord said,“ Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.”

Then the children of Israel arose and went up to the house of God to inquire of God. They said,“ Which of us shall go up first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” The Lord said,“ Judah first!”

So King Solomon was king over all Israel.And these were his officials: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, over the army; Zadok and Abiathar, the priests;Azariah the son of Nathan, over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan, a priest and the king’s friend;Ahishar, over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda, over the labor force.And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household; each one made provision for one month of the year.These are their names: Ben-Hur, in the mountains of Ephraim;Ben-Deker, in Makaz, Shaalbim, Beth Shemesh, and Elon Beth Hanan;Ben-Hesed, in Arubboth; to him belonged Sochoh and all the land of Hepher;Ben-Abinadab, in all the regions of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife;Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean, which is beside Zaretan below Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam;Ben-Geber, in Ramoth Gilead; to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; to him also belonged the region of Argob in Bashan— sixty large cities with walls and bronze gate-bars;Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;Ahimaaz, in Naphtali; he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife;Baanah the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin;Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan. He was the only governor who was in the land.Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing.So Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.Now Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, sixty kors of meal,ten fatted oxen, twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on every side all around him.And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.And these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon’s table. There was no lack in their supply.They also brought barley and straw to the proper place, for the horses and steeds, each man according to his charge.And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.For he was wiser than all men— than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.Also he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved.And He built His sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which He has established forever.He also chose David His servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;From following the ewes that had young He brought him, To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance.

Then Judah came near to him and said:“ O my Lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s hearing, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even like Pharaoh.My Lord asked his servants, saying,‘ Have you a father or a brother?’And we said to my Lord,‘ We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, who is young; his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.’Then you said to your servants,‘ Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’And we said to my Lord,‘ The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’But you said to your servants,‘ Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.’“ So it was, when we went up to your servant my father, that we told him the words of my Lord.And our father said,‘ Go back and buy us a little food.’But we said,‘ We cannot go down; if our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we may not see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.’Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife bore me two sons;and the one went out from me, and I said,“ Surely he is torn to pieces”; and I have not seen him since.But if you take this one also from me, and calamity befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.’“ Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad’s life,it will happen, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying,‘ If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father forever.’Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my Lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.For how shall I go up to my father if the lad is not with me, lest perhaps I see the evil that would come upon my father?”

You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me.They cried out, but there was none to save; Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like dirt in the streets.You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me the head of the nations; A people I have not known shall serve me.

Also in every city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel took their stand with him.For the Levites left their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the Lord.Then he appointed for himself priests for the high places, for the demons, and the calf idols which he had made.And after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong for three years, because they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
