1 Chronicles 4:39-41

Good News Translation

³⁹ they spread out westward almost to Gerar^[a] and pastured their sheep on the eastern side of the valley in which that city is located. ⁴⁰ They found plenty of fertile pasture lands there in a stretch of open country that was quiet and peaceful. The people who had lived there before were Hamites.

⁴¹ In the time of King Hezekiah of Judah, the men named above went to Gerar and destroyed the tents and huts of the people who lived there.^[b] They drove the people out and settled there permanently because there was plenty of pasture for their sheep.
