⁸ Now David ^(A)and his men went up and made raids against ^(B)the Geshurites, ^(C)the Girzites, and ^(D)the Amalekites, for these were the inhabitants of the land from of old, ^(E)as far as Shur, to the land of Egypt.

^7 (A)And Saul defeated the Amalekites from ^(B)Havilah as far as ^(C)Shur, which is east of Egypt. ⁸ And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive ^(D)and devoted to destruction all the people with the edge of the sword.

^2 (A)This is the land that yet remains: all the ^(B)regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites

^13 (A)Yet the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

^29 (A)And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

¹⁰ However, ^(A)they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived in the midst of Ephraim to this day but have been made ^(B)to do forced labor.

^23 (A)But Geshur and Aram took from them Havvoth-jair, Kenath, and its villages, sixty towns. All these were descendants of Machir, the father of Gilead.

¹⁵ And this is the account of ^(A)the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and ^(B)the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and ^(C)Hazor and ^(D)Megiddo and Gezer ¹⁶ (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and captured Gezer and burned it with fire, and had killed ^(E)the Canaanites who lived in the city, and had given it as dowry to ^(F)his daughter, Solomon's wife; ¹⁷ so Solomon rebuilt Gezer) and ^(G)Lower Beth-horon

⁸ For your servant ^(A)vowed a vow ^(B)while I lived at Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If the Lord will indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will offer worship to^[a] the Lord.’”
