Paraliparis Skeliphrus
''Paraliparis skeliphrus'' is a species of snailfish. It was described in 2005 from a single poorly preserved specimen of 71 mm standard length collected in 1966 off the Chilean coast near Antofagasta. Despite the poor condition of the specimen, it is sufficiently distinctive to warrant specific status. It is most similar to ''Paraliparis fimbrianus'' but differs in the position and shape of the pectoral fins. It can easily be distinguished from other Conspecificity, congeners found in the region by a combination of characters including a horizontal mouth, the presence of teeth borne in bands on both jaws and the position of the pectoral fins far forward on the body. From the circumstances of the collection, this is presumed to be a benthos, benthic species. References Paraliparis, skeliphrus Fish described in 2005 {{Scorpaeniformes-stub ...

However, under the paranoia that David is seeking to usurp the throne, Saul attempts to kill David, forcing the latter to go into hiding and effectively operate as a fugitive for several years. After Saul and Jonathan are both killed in battle against the Philistines, a 30-year-old David is anointed king over all of Israel and Judah. Following his rise to power, David co ...
