2 Chronicles 26:7Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read VersionGod helped Uzziah fight the Philistines, the Arabs living in the town of Gur Baal, and the Meunites. See the chapter |
Amasai was the leader of the Thirty Heroes. Then the Spirit came on Amasai, and he said, “We are yours, David! We are with you, son of Jesse. Peace, peace to you. Peace to those who help you, because your God helps you.” So David welcomed these men into his group and put them in charge of the troops.
This happened during the time that Hezekiah was king of Judah. These men came to Gedor and fought against the Hamites. They destroyed the tents of the Hamites. They also fought against the Meunites who lived there. These men destroyed all the Meunites. There are no Meunites in this place even today. So these men began to live there. They lived there because the land had grass for their sheep.
