Edom; throughout
all Edom put he garrisons, and
all they of
Edom became David’s servants. And the LORD preserved David
whithersoever he went.

Edom, and
all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.

And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely
shew thee kindness for
Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee
all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
“Do not be afraid,” said David, “for surely I will show you kindness for the sake of your father
Jonathan. I will restore to you
all the land of your
grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.”
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s son
all that
pertained to Saul and to
all his house.
Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “I have given to your master’s grandson all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.
Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
And Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do
all that my lord the king has commanded.” So Mephibosheth
ate at David’s table like one of the king’s own sons.
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
And Mephibosheth had a young son named

And when David heard of it, he sent
Joab, and
all the host of the mighty men.
On hearing this, David sent
Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
When
Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of
all the choice men of Israel, and put them in
array against the Syrians:
When
Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and
arrayed them against the Arameans.
And when it was told David, he gathered
all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in
array against David, and fought with him.
When this was reported to David, he gathered
all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameans
arrayed themselves against David and fought against him.
And when
all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were
smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of
Ammon any more.
When
all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the
Ammonites anymore.
And it came to pass, after the year was
expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent
Joab, and his servants with him, and
all Israel; and they destroyed the children of
Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David
tarried still at Jerusalem.
In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, David sent out
Joab and his servants with the whole army of Israel. They destroyed the
Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.
But Uriah
slept at the door of the king’s house with
all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
But Uriah
slept at the door of the palace with
all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.
Then
Joab sent and told David
all the things concerning the war;
Joab sent to David a full account of the battle
And charged the
messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
and
instructed the
messenger, “When you have finished giving the king
all the details of the battle,
So the
messenger went, and came and shewed David
all that
Joab had sent him for.
So the
messenger set out and reported to David
all that
Joab had sent him to say.
For thou
didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before
all Israel, and before the sun.
You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad
daylight before
all Israel.’”
David therefore
besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay
all night upon the earth.
David
pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in
sackcloth on the ground.
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured it.
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the
brickkiln: and thus did he unto
all the cities of the children of
Ammon. So David and
all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he made them work at the brick kilns. He did the same to
all the
Ammonite cities. Then David and
all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
Then she brought the pan and set it down before him, but he refused to eat. “Send
everyone away!” said Amnon. And
everyone went out.
But when king David heard of
all these things, he was very
wroth.
When King David heard
all this, he was
furious.
And it came to pass after two full years, that
Absalom had sheepshearers in
Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and
Absalom invited
all the king’s sons.
Two years later, when
Absalom’s sheepshearers were at
Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited
all the sons of the king.
And the king said to
Absalom,
Nay, my son, let us not
all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him:
howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
“No, my son,” the king replied, “we should not
all go, or we would be a burden to you.” Although
Absalom urged him, he was not willing to go, but gave him his blessing.
But
Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and
all the king’s sons go with him.
But
Absalom urged him, so the king sent Amnon and the rest of his sons.
And the servants of
Absalom did unto Amnon as
Absalom had commanded. Then
all the king’s sons arose, and every man
gat him up upon his
mule, and fled.
So
Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as
Absalom had ordered. Then
all the other sons of the king got up, and each one fled on his
mule.
And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that
tidings came to David, saying,
Absalom hath slain
all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them left.
While they were on the way, a report reached David: “
Absalom has struck down
all the sons of the king; not one of them is left!”
Then the king arose, and
tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and
all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
Then the king stood up,
tore his clothes, and lay down on the ground; and
all his servants stood by with their clothes
torn.
And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain
all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of
Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed
all the sons of the king, for only Amnon is dead. In fact,
Absalom has
planned this since the day Amnon
violated his sister Tamar.
Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king’s sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
So now, my lord the king, do not take to heart the report that all the sons of the king are dead. Only Amnon is dead.”
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and
wept: and the king also and
all his servants
wept very
sore.
And as he finished speaking, the sons of the king came in,
wailing loudly. Then the king and
all his servants also
wept very bitterly.
And the king said, Is not the hand of
Joab with thee in
all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant
Joab, he
bade me, and he put
all these words in the mouth of thine
handmaid:
So the king asked, “Is the hand of
Joab behind
all this?” The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king says.
Yes, your servant
Joab is the one who gave me orders; he told your
maidservant exactly what to say.
To
fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant
Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know
all things that are in the earth.
Joab your servant has done this to bring about this change of affairs, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that happens in the land.”
But in
all Israel there was none to be so much praised as
Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no
blemish in him.
Now there was not a man in
all Israel as handsome and highly praised as
Absalom. From the sole of his foot to the top of his head, he did not have a single
flaw.
And on this manner did
Absalom to
all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so
Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Absalom did this to
all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he
stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Then
Absalom sent
spies throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the horn, you are to say, ‘
Absalom reigns in
Hebron!’”
And David said unto
all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us
flee; for we shall not else escape from
Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and
smite the city with the edge of the sword.
And David said to
all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us
flee, or we will not escape from
Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us,
heap disaster on us, and put the city to the sword.”
And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
Then the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
And the king went forth, and
all the people after him, and
tarried in a place that was far off.
So the king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
And
all his servants passed on beside him; and
all the Cherethites, and
all the Pelethites, and
all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from
Gath, passed on before the king.
and
all his servants marched past him—
all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him from
Gath.
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
“March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
And
all the country
wept with a loud voice, and
all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the
brook Kidron, and
all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
Everyone in the
countryside was
weeping loudly as
all the people passed by. And as the king crossed the Kidron Valley,
all the people also passed toward the way of the wilderness.
And lo
Zadok also, and
all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and
Abiathar went up, until
all the people had done passing out of the city.
Zadok was also there, and
all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and
Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the city.
And David went up by the
ascent of mount Olivet, and
wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went
barefoot: and
all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up,
weeping as they went up.
But David continued up the Mount of Olives,
weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was walking
barefoot. And
all the people with him covered their heads and went up,
weeping as they went.
Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are
all that
pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I
humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
So the king said to Ziba, “
All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!” “I
humbly bow before you,” said Ziba. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king!”
And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left.
The LORD hath returned upon thee
all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose
stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of
Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a
bloody man.
The LORD has paid you back for
all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of your son
Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of
bloodshed!”
And David said to
Abishai, and to
all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my
bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this
Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him
curse; for the LORD hath
bidden him.
Then David said to
Abishai and to
all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this
Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him
curse me, for the LORD has told him so.
And the king, and
all the people that were with him, came
weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
And
Absalom, and
all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and
Ahithophel with him.
Then
Absalom and
all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and
Ahithophel was with him.
And Hushai said unto
Absalom,
Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and
all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I
abide.
“Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
And
Ahithophel said unto
Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and
all Israel shall hear that thou art
abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of
all that are with thee be strong.
Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When
all Israel hears that you have become a
stench to your father, then the hands of
all who are with you will be strengthened.”
So they spread
Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and
Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of
all Israel.
So they pitched a tent for
Absalom on the roof, and he
slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of
all Israel.
And I will come upon him while he is
weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and
all the people that are with him shall
flee; and I will
smite the king only:
I will attack him while he is weak and
weary; I will throw him into a
panic, and
all the people with him will
flee; I will strike down only the king
And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
and bring
all the people back to you as a
bride returning to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then
all the people will be at peace.”
And the saying pleased
Absalom well, and
all the elders of Israel.
This proposal seemed good to
Absalom and
all the elders of Israel.
And he also that is
valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly
melt: for
all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are
valiant men.
Then even the most
valiant soldier with the heart of a lion will
melt with fear, because
all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man who has
valiant men with him.
Therefore I counsel that
all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from
Dan even to Beer-
sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the
dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of
all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
Then we will attack David wherever we find him, and we will descend on him like
dew on the ground. And of
all the men with him, not even one will remain.
Moreover, if he be
gotten into a city, then shall
all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
If he retreats to a city,
all Israel will bring ropes to that city, and we will
drag it down to the valley until not even a
pebble can be found.”
And
Absalom and
all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of
Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of
Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon
Absalom.
Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying,
Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be
swallowed up, and
all the people that are with him.
Now send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not
spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but be sure to cross over. Otherwise the king and
all the people with him will be
swallowed up.’”
Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
So David and
all the people with him got up and crossed the Jordan. By
daybreak, there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan.
Then David came to
Mahanaim. And
Absalom passed over Jordan, he and
all the men of Israel with him.
Then David went to
Mahanaim, and
Absalom crossed the Jordan with
all the men of Israel.
And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
“I will do whatever seems best to you,” the king replied. So he stood beside the gate, while all the troops marched out by hundreds and by thousands.
And the king commanded
Joab and
Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with
Absalom. And
all the people heard when the king gave
all the captains charge concerning
Absalom.
Now the king had commanded
Joab,
Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man
Absalom gently for my sake.” And
all the people heard the king’s orders to each of the commanders regarding
Absalom.
For the battle was there scattered over the face of
all the country: and the wood
devoured more people that day than the sword
devoured.
The battle spread over the whole
countryside, and that day the forest
devoured more people than the sword.
And they took
Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great
heap of stones upon him: and
all Israel fled every one to his tent.
They took
Absalom, cast him into a large pit in the forest, and piled a huge
mound of stones over him. Meanwhile,
all the Israelites fled, each to his home.
And
Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king,
All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
Then
Ahimaaz called out to the king, “
All is well!” And he bowed facedown before the king. He continued, “Blessed be the LORD your God! He has delivered up the men who raised their hands against my lord the king.”
And the king said, Is the young man
Absalom safe? And
Ahimaaz answered, When
Joab sent the king’s servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great
tumult, but I knew not what it was.
The king asked, “Is the young man
Absalom all right?” And
Ahimaaz replied, “When
Joab sent the king’s servant and your servant, I saw a great
tumult, but I do not know what it was.”
And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said,
Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath
avenged thee this day of
all them that rose up against thee.
Just then the
Cushite came and said, “May my lord the king hear the good news:
Today the LORD has
avenged you of
all who rose up against you!”
And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man
Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and
all that rise against thee to do thee
hurt, be as that young man is.
The king asked the
Cushite, “Is the young man
Absalom all right?” And the
Cushite replied, “May what has become of the young man happen to the enemies of my lord the king and to
all who rise up against you to
harm you.”
And the victory that day was turned into
mourning unto
all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was
grieved for his son.
And that day’s victory was turned into
mourning for
all the people, because on that day they were told, “The king is
grieving over his son.”
And
Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of
all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
Then
Joab went into the house and said to the king, “
Today you have disgraced
all your servants who have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, of your wives, and of your concubines.
In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if
Absalom had lived, and
all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
You love those who
hate you and
hate those who love you! For you have made it clear
today that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. I know
today that if
Absalom were alive and
all of us were dead, it would have pleased you!
Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak
comfortably unto thy servants: for I
swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not
tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than
all the evil that
befell thee from thy youth until now.
Now therefore get up! Go out and speak comfort to your servants, for I
swear by the LORD that if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you
tonight. This will be worse for you than
all the
adversity that has
befallen you from your youth until now!”
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto
all the people, saying, Behold, the king
doth sit in the gate. And
all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
So the king got up and sat in the gate, and all the people were told: “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” So they all came before the king. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled, each man to his home.
And
all the people were at
strife throughout
all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for
Absalom.
And
all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were
arguing, “The king
rescued us from the hand of our enemies and delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of
Absalom.
And king David sent to
Zadok and to
Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of
all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.
Then King David sent this message to
Zadok and
Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the king to his palace, since the talk of
all Israel has reached the king at his quarters?
And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
So he
swayed the hearts of
all the men of Judah as though they were one man, and they sent word to the king: “Return, you and
all your servants.”
For thy servant
doth know that I have
sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of
all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
For your servant knows that I have
sinned, so here I am
today as the first of
all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
For
all of my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet
didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
For
all the house of my
grandfather deserves death from my lord the king, yet you have set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right, then, do I have to keep appealing to the king?”
And Mephibosheth said unto the king,
Yea, let him take
all,
forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Instead, since my lord the king has safely come to his own house, let Ziba take it all!”
And
all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king
kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
So
all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the king crossed over. The king
kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and Barzillai returned home.
Then the king went on to
Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and
all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
Then the king went on to
Gilgal, and Chimham crossed over with him.
All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel
escorted the king.
And, behold,
all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah
stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and
all David’s men with him, over Jordan?
Soon all the men of Israel came to the king and asked, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and bring the king and his household across the Jordan, together with all of David’s men?”
And
all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of
kin to us: wherefore then be ye
angry for this matter? have we eaten at
all of the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?
And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is our relative. Why does this anger you? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense or received anything for ourselves?”
So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed
Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah
clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
So
all the men of Israel deserted David to follow
Sheba son of Bichri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king
all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
So
Amasa went to
assemble the men of Judah: but he
tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
And there went out after him
Joab’s men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and
all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
So
Joab’s men, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and
all the mighty men, marched out of Jerusalem in pursuit of
Sheba son of Bichri.
And
Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the
highway. And when the man saw that
all the people stood still, he removed
Amasa out of the
highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
But
Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that
all the troops were
stopping there, he
dragged the body off the road into a field and threw a garment over it.
When he was removed out of the
highway,
all the people went on after
Joab, to pursue after
Sheba the son of Bichri.
As soon as
Amasa’s body was removed from the road,
all the men went on with
Joab to pursue
Sheba son of Bichri.
And he went through
all the tribes of Israel unto
Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and
all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
Sheba passed through
all the tribes of Israel to
Abel-beth-
maacah and through the entire region of the Berites, who gathered together and followed him.
And they came and besieged him in
Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the
trench: and
all the people that were with
Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
Then the woman went unto
all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of
Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to
Joab. And he
blew a
trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And
Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
Then the woman went to
all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of
Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to
Joab. So he
blew the ram’s horn and his men
dispersed from the city, each to his own home. And
Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
Now
Joab was over
all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
Now
Joab was over the whole army of Israel; Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites;
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they
hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell
all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they
hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So
all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.
