while David and all Israel<n id="1" /> were energetically celebrating before the <sc>Lordsc>, singing<n id="2" /> and playing various stringed instruments,<n id="3" /> tambourines, rattles,<n id="4" /> and cymbals.p>

Araunah told David, &#8220;My lord the king may take whatever he wishes<n id="1" /> and offer it. Look! Here are oxen for burnt offerings, and threshing sledges<n id="2" /> and harnesses<n id="3" /> for wood.

Yet another battle occurred with the Philistines in Gob. On that occasion Elhanan the son of Jair<n id="1" /> the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite,<n id="2" /> the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver&#8217;s beam.
