it was the priests who blended the spices. Mattithiah, a Levite and the oldest son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread used
in the offerings. And some members of the clan of Kohath were in charge
of preparing the bread to be set on the table each Sabbath day.
The musicians, all prominent Levites, lived at the Temple. They were
exempt from other responsibilities since they were on duty at all hours. All
these men lived in Jerusalem. They were the heads of Levite families and
were listed as prominent leaders in their genealogic al records.
Jeiel (the father of Gibeon) lived in the town of Gibeon. His wife’s
name was Maacah, and his oldest son was named Abdon. Jeiel’s other
sons were Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and
Mikloth. Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. All these families lived
near each other in Jerusalem.
Ner was the father of Kish.
Kish was the father of Saul.
Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malkishua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal.
Jonathan was the father of Merib-baal.
Merib-baal was the father of Micah.
The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.
Ahaz was the father of Jadah.
Jadah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri.
Zimri was the father of Moza.
Moza was the father of Binea.

Now the Phil ist ines attacked Israel, and the men of Israel fled
before them. Many were slaughtered on the slopes of Mount Gilboa. The
Philistines closed in on Saul and his sons, and they killed three of his sons—
J onathan, Abinadab, and Malkishua. The fighting grew very fierce around
Saul, and the Philistine archers caught up with him and wounded him.
Saul groaned to his armor bearer, “Take your sword and kill me before
these pagan Philistines come to taunt and torture me.”
