³ And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.

² So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

³ And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.

¹ Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

¹ Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.

² They were armed with bows, and were able to send stones, and arrows from the bow, with right hand or left: they were Saul's brothers, of Benjamin.

³ Ahiezer was their chief, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; and Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Beracah and Jehu the Anathothite;

⁴ And Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a great man among the thirty, and their chief; and Jeremiah and Jehaziel and Johanan and Jozabad the Gederathite;

⁵ Eluzai and Jerimoth and Bealiah and Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite;

⁶ Elkanah and Isshiah and Azarel and Joezer and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

⁷ And Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

¹¹ They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands.

¹² But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.

² And everyone who was in trouble, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, came together to him, and he became captain over them: about four hundred men were joined to him.

⁹ So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

¹⁰ And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.
