But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.

Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.

Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
