were filled
with fear.

They left their camp and tried to run away, but the army of Israel
followed them and won a great victory.

For this brave deed David was made a captain and was held in honor by
the king.

PHONETIC TABLES

The following tables are planned to supplement those already developed
in the "Beacon Primer" and in the "Beacon First Reader."

The earlier tables are introduced in order that the teacher may have
them for rapid review work with her slower pupils, and also for those
pupils entering the class without any previous phonetic training.

The strictly new matter, which includes the last ten pages, should
receive special emphasis and care in its development and drill.
