Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

1 Samuel 30
²⁵ So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
²⁶ Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, "Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord"--
²⁷ to those who were in Bethel, those who were in Ramoth of the South, those who were in Jattir,
²⁸ those who were in Aroer, those who were in Siphmoth, those who were in Eshtemoa,
²⁹ those who were in Rachal, those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
³⁰ those who were in Hormah, those who were in Chorashan, those who were in Athach,
³¹ those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to rove.
1 Samuel 31
¹ Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
² Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.
³ The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.
⁴ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.
