Or who among you has planted a vineyard and not benefited from it? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else benefit from it.

Or who among you<n id="1" /> has become engaged to a woman but has not married her? He may go home, lest he die in battle and someone else marry her.&#8221;

But the Israelites did not conquer<n id="1" /> the Geshurites and Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this very day.

<p class="bodytext">The Ephraimites<n id="1" /> did not conquer the Canaanites living in Gezer. The Canaanites live among the Ephraimites to this very day and do hard labor as their servants.p>

The men of Benjamin, however, did not conquer the Jebusites living in Jerusalem.<n id="1" /> The Jebusites live with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this very day.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="bodytext">The men of Zebulun did not conquer the people living in Kitron and Nahalol.<n id="1" /> The Canaanites lived among them and were forced to do hard labor.p>

So Jephthah left<n id="1" /> his half-brothers<n id="2" /> and lived in the land of Tob. Lawless men joined Jephthah&#8217;s gang and traveled with him.<n id="3" />p>

Some time later, when he went back to marry<n id="1" /> her, he turned aside to see the lion&#8217;s remains. He saw<n id="2" /> a swarm of bees in the lion&#8217;s carcass, as well as some honey.

When he gave the silver back to his mother, she<n id="1" /> took two hundred pieces of silver<n id="2" /> to a silversmith, who made them into a carved image and a metal image. She then put them in Micah&#8217;s house.<n id="3" />

The Danites went on their way; when Micah realized<n id="1" /> they were too strong to resist,<n id="2" /> he turned around and went home.p>

His father-in-law, the girl&#8217;s father, persuaded him to stay with him for three days, and they ate and drank together, and spent the night there.

They stopped there and decided to spend the night<n id="1" /> in Gibeah. They came into the city and sat down in the town square, but no one invited them to spend the night.<n id="2" />p>

The Benjaminites returned at that time, and the Israelites<n id="1" /> gave to them the women they had spared from Jabesh Gilead. But there were not enough to go around.<n id="2" />p>

but Hannah did not go up with them.<n id="1" /> Instead she told her husband, &#8220;Once the boy is weaned, I will bring him and appear before the <sc>Lordsc>, and he will remain there from then on.&#8221;p>

Saul and his men went to look for him.<n id="1" /> But David was informed and went down to the rock and stayed in the desert of Maon. When Saul heard about it, he pursued David in the desert of Maon.

<p class="bodytext">So Saul stopped pursuing David and went to confront the Philistines. Therefore that place is called Sela Hammahlekoth.<n id="1" />

David settled with Achish in Gath, along with his men and their families.<n id="1" /> David had with him his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the Carmelite, Nabal&#8217;s widow.

When David would attack a district,<n id="1" /> he would leave neither man nor woman alive. He would take sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing and would then go back to Achish.
