1 Chronicles 16:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ At first there weren’t very many of God’s people.
    There were only a few. And they were strangers in the land.
²⁰ They wandered from nation to nation.
    They wandered from one kingdom to another.
²¹ But God didn’t allow anyone to treat them badly.
    To keep them safe, he gave a command to kings.
