1 Chronicles 4:39-41
New American Standard Bible 1995
39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, even to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks. 40 They found rich and good pasture, and (A)the land was broad and quiet and peaceful; for those who lived there formerly were Hamites. 41 (B)These, recorded by name, came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and [a]attacked their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and destroyed them utterly to this day, and lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks.

1 Chronicles 4:39-41
New International Version
39 and they went to the outskirts of Gedor(A) to the east of the valley in search of pasture for their flocks. 40 They found rich, good pasture, and the land was spacious, peaceful and quiet.(B) Some Hamites had lived there formerly.
41 The men whose names were listed came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. They attacked the Hamites in their dwellings and also the Meunites(C) who were there and completely destroyed[a] them, as is evident to this day. Then they settled in their place, because there was pasture for their flocks.
