6 Then David answered and said to A·himʹe·lech the Hitʹtite+ and A·bishʹai+ the son of Ze·ruʹiah,+ the brother of Joʹab: “Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp?” To this A·bishʹai said: “I myself shall go down with you.”+

9 And as soon as these things were finished, the princes+ approached me, saying: “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated+ themselves from the peoples of the lands as regards their detestable things,+ namely, the Caʹnaan·ites,+ the Hitʹtites,+ the Perʹiz·zites,+ the Jebʹu·sites,+ the Amʹmon·ites,+ the Moʹab·ites,+ the Egyptians+ and the Amʹor·ites.+

8 And you found his heart faithful before you;+ so there was a contracting* of the covenant+ with him to give [him] the land of the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Amʹor·ites and the Perʹiz·zites and the Jebʹu·sites and the Girʹga·shites, to give [it] to his seed;+ and you proceeded to carry out your words, because you are righteous.+
