24The gatekeepers were assigned to the four directions: the east, west, north, and south.
25And their brethren in their villages had to come with them from time to time nfor seven days.

1 Chronicles 10
Tragic End of Saul and His Sons
(1 Sam. 31:1–13)
1Now athe Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, 1Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.
3The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was wounded by the archers.
4Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.
5And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
6So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.
7And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to 2strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people.
10bThen they put his armor in the 3temple of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
11And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12all the cvaliant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to dJabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had 4committed against the LORD, ebecause he did not keep the w
ord of the LORD, and also because fhe consulted a medium for guidance.
14But he did not inquire of the LORD; therefore He killed him, and gturned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 11
David Made King over All Israel
(2 Sam. 5:1–3)
1Then aall Israel came together to David at Hebron, saying, “Indeed we are your bone and your flesh.
2“Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD your bGod said to you, ‘You shall cshepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.’ ”
3Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And dthey anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD 1by eSamuel.
The City of David
(2 Sam. 5:6–10)
4And David and all Israel fwent to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, gwhere the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5But the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).
6Now David said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be 2chief and captain.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief.
7Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it 3the City of David.
8And he built the city around it, from 4the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab 5repaired the rest of the city.
9So David hwent on and became great, and the LORD of hosts was with ihim.
The Mighty Men of David
(2 Sam. 23:8–39)
10Now jthese were the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to kthe word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: lJashobeam the son of a Hachmonite, mchief of 6the captains; he had lifted up his spear against three hundred, killed by him at one time.
12After him was Eleazar the son of nDodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13He was with David at 7Pasdammim. Now there the Philistines were gathered for battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley. So the people fled from the Philistines.
