Chronicles 10-12
1Ch
10:1  Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of
Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount
Gilboa. 
1Ch
10:2  The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons;
and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua,
the sons of Saul. 
1Ch
10:3  The battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook
him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers. 
1Ch
10:4  Then said Saul to his armor bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust
me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But
his armor bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul
took his sword, and fell on it. 
1Ch
10:5  When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell
on his sword, and died. 
1Ch
10:6  So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died
together. 
1Ch
10:7  When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they
fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their
cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them. 
1Ch
10:8  It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip
the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 
1Ch
10:9  They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent
into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to
their idols, and to the people. 
1Ch
10:10  They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened
his head in the house of Dagon. 
1Ch
10:11  When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done
to Saul, 
1Ch
10:12  all the valiant men arose, 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. 
1Ch
10:13  So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against
Yahweh, because of the word of Yahweh, which he didn't keep; and also
because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire
thereby, 
1Ch
10:14  and didn't inquire of Yahweh: therefore he killed him, and
turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse. 
1Ch
11:1  Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying,
Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. 
1Ch
11:2  In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out
and brought in Israel: and Yahweh your God said to you, You shall be
shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people
Israel. 
1Ch
11:3  So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and
David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they
anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh by
Samuel. 
1Ch
11:4  David and all Israel went to Jerusalem  (the same is Jebus);
and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. 
1Ch
11:5  The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come in
here. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the
city of David. 
1Ch
11:6  David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief
and captain. Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made
chief. 
1Ch
11:7  David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the
city of David. 
1Ch
11:8  He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab
repaired the rest of the city. 
1Ch
11:9  David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with
him. 
1Ch
11:10  Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who
showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all
Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Yahweh concerning
Israel. 
1Ch
11:11  This is the number of the mighty men whom David had:
Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he
lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one
time. 
1Ch
11:12  After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was
one of the three mighty men. 
1Ch
11:13  He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were
gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of
barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines. 
1Ch
11:14  They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and
killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory. 
1Ch
11:15  Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David,
into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were
encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 
1Ch
11:16  David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the
Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 
1Ch
11:17  David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to
drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! 
1Ch
11:18  The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew
water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took
it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but
poured it out to Yahweh, 
1Ch
11:19  and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this: shall I
drink the blood of these men who 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 the three mighty men. 
1Ch
11:20  Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for
he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had
a name among the three. 
1Ch
11:21  Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made
their captain: however he didn't attain to the first
three. 
1Ch
11:22  Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of
Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons
of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and
killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow. 
1Ch
11:23  He killed 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 killed him with his own spear. 
1Ch
11:24  These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name
among the three mighty men. 
1Ch
11:25  Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn't
attain to the first
three: and David set him over his guard. 
1Ch
11:26  Also the mighty men of the armies: Asahel the brother of Joab,

kept himself close because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were
among the mighty men, his helpers in war. 
1Ch
12:2  They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand
and the left in slinging stones and in shooting arrows from the bow:
they were of Saul's brothers of Benjamin. 
1Ch
12:3  The chief was Ahiezer; then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the
Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth, and Beracah,

1Ch
12:8  Of the Gadites there separated themselves to David to the
stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for

of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west. 
1Ch
12:16  There came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the
stronghold to David. 
1Ch
12:17  David went out to meet them, and answered them, If you be come
peaceably to me to help me, my heart shall be knit to you; but if you
be come to betray me to my adversaries,
seeing there is no wrong in my hands, the God of our fathers look
thereon, and rebuke it. 
1Ch
12:18  Then the Spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the thirty,
and he said,
"We are yours, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace,
peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps
you." Then David received them, and made them captains of the
band. 
1Ch
12:19  Of Manasseh also there fell away some to David, when he came
with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they didn't help
them; for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after
consultation, saying, He will fall away to his master Saul to the
jeopardy of our heads. 
1Ch
12:20  As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah,
and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and
Zillethai, captains of thousands who were of Manasseh. 
1Ch
12:21  They helped David against the band of rovers: for they were

house of Aaron; and with him were three
thousand and seven hundred,

12:28  and Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and of his father's
house twenty-two captains.

Gadites, and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of
instruments of war for the battle, one hundred twenty thousand. 
1Ch
12:38  All these being men of war, who could order the battle array,
came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all
Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make
David king. 
1Ch
12:39  They were there with David three days, eating and drinking;
for their brothers had made preparation for them. 
1Ch
12:40  Moreover those who were near to them, even
as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on
donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food of meal,
cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and
cattle, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel.

is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy.  First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text.  Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.

make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the

at one time to obtain an overview of the text.  Doing this will make
you think about what
the
