← 1 Chronicles 4:39	1 Chronicles 4:40 (KJV)	1 Chronicles 4:41 →
And they went to the entrance of Gedor, [even] unto the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.	And they found fat pasture and good, and the land [was] wide, and quiet, and peaceable; for [they] of Ham had dwelt there of old.	And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because [there was] pasture there for their flocks.
