Bible. Chronicles, 1st
13:010:008 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.
13:010:009 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.
13:010:010 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and
fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
13:010:011 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had
done to Saul,
13:010:012 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.
13:010:013 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;
13:010:014 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and
turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
13:011:001 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron,
saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
13:011:002 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.
13:011:003 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.
13:011:004 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus;
where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
13:011:005 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.
13:011:006 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.
13:011:007 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the
city of David.
13:011:008 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round
about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
13:011:009 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was
with him.
13:011:010 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.
