1
Then allH3605 IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 themselves to DavidH1732 to Hebron,H2275 saying,H559 Behold,H2009 we are your boneH6106 and your flesh.H1320
2
And moreoverH1571 in timeH8543 past,H8032 evenH1571 when SaulH7586 was king,H4428 you were he that ledH3318 out and broughtH935 in Israel:H3478 and the LORDH3068 your GodH430 saidH559 to you, You shall feedH7462 my peopleH5971 Israel,H3478 and you shall be rulerH5057 overH5921 my peopleH5971 Israel.H3478
3
Therefore cameH935 allH3605 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 to the kingH4428 to Hebron;H2275 and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 the LORD;H3068 and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 overH5921 Israel,H3478 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by Samuel.H8050
4
And DavidH1732 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to Jerusalem,H3389 whichH1958 is Jebus;H2982 whereH8033 the JebusitesH2983 were, the inhabitantsH3427 of the land.H776
5
And the inhabitantsH3427 of JebusH2982 saidH559 to David,H1732 You shall not comeH935 here. Nevertheless DavidH1732 tookH3920 the castleH4686 of Zion,H6726 whichH1958 is the cityH5892 of David.H1732
6
And DavidH1732 said,H559 WhoeverH3605 smitesH5221 the JebusitesH2983 firstH7223 shall be chiefH7218 and captain.H8269 So JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 wentH5927 firstH7223 up, and was chief.H7218
7
And DavidH1732 dwelledH3427 in the castle;H4679 thereforeH5921 H3651 they calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of David.H1732
8
And he builtH1129 the cityH5892 roundH5439 about, evenH5704 from MilloH4407 roundH5439 about: and JoabH3097 repairedH2421 the restH7605 of the city.H5892
9
So DavidH1732 waxedH1980 greaterH1980 and greater:H1419 for the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 was with him.
10
TheseH428 also are the chiefH7218 of the mightyH1368 men whomH834 DavidH1732 had, who strengthenedH2388 themselves with him in his kingdom,H4438 and with allH3605 Israel,H3478 to make him king,H4427 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 concerningH5921 Israel.H3478
11
And thisH428 is the numberH4557 of the mightyH1368 men whomH834 David had; Jashobeam,H3434 an Hachmonite,H2453 the chiefH7218 of the captains:H7991 he liftedH5782 up his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundredH3967 slainH2491 by him at oneH259 time.H6471
12
And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of Dodo,H1734 the Ahohite,H266 whoH1931 was one of the threeH7969 mighty H1368men.
13
He was with DavidH1732 at Pasdammim,H6450 and thereH8033 the PhilistinesH6430 were gatheredH622 together to battle,H4421 where was a parcelH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of barley;H8184 and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the Philistines.H6430
14
And they setH3320 themselves in the middleH8432 of that parcel,H2513 and deliveredH5337 it, and slewH5221 the Philistines;H6430 and the LORDH3068 savedH3467 them by a greatH1419 deliverance.H8668
15
Now threeH7969 of the thirtyH7970 captainsH7218 wentH3381 downH3381 to the rockH6697 to David,H1732 intoH413 the caveH4631 of Adullam;H5725 and the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of Rephaim.H7497
16
And DavidH1732 was thenH227 in the hold,H4686 and the Philistines'H6430 garrisonH5333 was thenH227 at Bethlehem.H1035
17
And DavidH1732 longed,H183 and said,H559 Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of Bethlehem,H1035 that is at the gate!H8179
18
And the threeH7969 brokeH1234 throughH1234 the hostH4264 of the Philistines,H6430 and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of Bethlehem,H1035 that was by the gate,H8179 and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to David:H1732 but DavidH1732 wouldH14 not drinkH8354 of it, but pouredH5258 it out to the LORD.H3068
19
And said,H559 My GodH430 forbidH2486 it me, that I should doH6213 thisH2063 thing: shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of theseH428 menH582 that have put their livesH5315 in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their livesH5315 they broughtH935 it. Therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. TheseH428 things didH6213 these threeH7969 mightiest.H1368
20
And AbishaiH52 the brotherH251 of Joab,H3097 he was chiefH7218 of the three:H7969 for liftingH5782 up his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundred,H3967 he slewH2490 them, and hadH1961 a nameH8034 among the three.H7969
21
Of the three,H7969 he was more honorableH3513 than the two;H8147 for he was their captain:H8269 however, he attainedH935 not to the first three.H7969
22
BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of Jehoiada,H3111 the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376 of Kabzeel,H6909 who had done manyH7227 acts;H6467 he slewH5221 twoH8147 lion likeH739 men of Moab:H4124 also he wentH3381 downH3381 and slewH5221 a lionH738 in a pitH953 in a snowyH7950 day.H3117
23
And he slewH5221 an Egyptian,H4713 a manH376 of great stature,H4060 fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high; and in the Egyptian'sH4713 handH3027 was a spearH2595 like a weaver'sH707 beam;H4500 and he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a staff,H7626 and pluckedH1497 the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian'sH4713 hand,H3027 and slewH2026 him with his own spear.H2595
24
TheseH428 things didH6213 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of Jehoiada,H3111 and had the nameH8034 among the threeH7969 mighty H1368men.
25
Behold,H2009 he was honorableH3513 amongH4480 the thirty,H7970 but attainedH935 not to the first three:H7969 and DavidH1732 setH7760 him overH5921 his guard.H4928
