on 1 Chronicles 4:34-43

The princes named here led their growing families to seek new pasture, first east of Gedor, where they found the land wide and quiet and destroyed a remnant of Ham's descendants who had held it of old, in the days of Hezekiah. A second company of five hundred went further, to mount Seir, and smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, the last blow this book records against the people whose destruction Israel was commanded from the days of Moses and Saul.
