The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.

Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.

They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.

Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.

Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he wielded his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.

He also struck down an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.

He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.

Jediael son of Shimri and his brother Joha the Tizite,

Some Gadites defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were mighty men of valor, trained for battle, experts with the shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions and who were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:

Other Benjamites and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold.

Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, the chief of the Thirty, and he said: “We are yours, O David! We are with you, 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 leaders of his troops.

Some from Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (They did not help the Philistines because the Philistine rulers consulted and sent David away, saying, “It will cost us our heads if he defects to his master Saul.”)

…and Zadok, a mighty young man of valor, with 22 commanders from his own family.

Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds.

And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.

And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.

So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.

…from the Hebronites, Eliel the chief and 80 of his relatives;

…and from the Uzzielites, Amminadab the chief and 112 of his relatives.

So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah;

On that day David first committed to Asaph and his associates this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:

“Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

“Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

O offspring of His servant Israel, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

O offspring of His servant Israel, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

Remember His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day.

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

So David left Asaph and his associates there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to minister there regularly according to the daily requirements,

…along with Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.

And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon

With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD, for “His loving devotion endures forever.”

Then all the people departed for their homes, and David returned home to bless his household.

After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”

And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.

I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.

But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”

And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,

As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.
