³⁰ Cry aloud with your voice, daughter of Gallim! listen, Laishah! You poor Anathoth!

⁴⁴ Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.

¹ The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

¹⁸ Anathoth with its suburbs, and Almon with its suburbs; four cities.

⁷ Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were therein, how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put [them] to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with any man.

²⁹ They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel: however the name of the city was Laish at the first.

²⁶ To Abiathar the priest said the king, Get you to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death: but I will not at this time put you to death, because you bear the ark of the Lord Yahweh before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.

⁸ So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of Yahweh, and said to me, Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of Yahweh.
