²⁹ so King Joram returned to Jezreel^(A) to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramoth^[a] in his battle with Hazael^(B) king of Aram.

⁶ so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramoth^[a] in his battle with Hazael^(A) king of Aram.

Then Ahaziah^[b] son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab because he had been wounded.

⁹ Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive,^(A) but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.

¹⁰ When Achish asked, “Where did you go raiding today?” David would say, “Against the Negev of Judah” or “Against the Negev of Jerahmeel^(B)” or “Against the Negev of the Kenites.^(C)” ¹¹ He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, “They might inform on us and say, ‘This is what David did.’” And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory.
