1 H314 Now these are the last H1697 words H1732 of David. H1732 David H1121 the son H3448 of Jesse H5002 says, H1397 the man H6965 who was raised H5920 on high H5002 says, H4899 the anointed H430 of the God H3290 of Jacob, H5273 the sweet H2158 psalmist H3478 of Israel:

2 H7307 "The Spirit H3068 of Yahweh H1696 spoke H4405 by me. His word H3956 was on my tongue.

3 H430 The God H3478 of Israel H559 said, H6697 the Rock H3478 of Israel H1696 spoke H4910 to me, ‘One who rules H120 over men H6662 righteously, H4910 who rules H3374 in the fear H430 of God,

4 H216 shall be as the light H1242 of the morning, H8121 when the sun H2224 rises, H1242 a morning H3808 without H5645 clouds, H1877 when the tender grass H776 springs out of the earth, H5051 through clear shining H4306 after rain.'

5 H1004 Most certainly my house H410 is not so with God, H7760 yet he has made H5769 with me an everlasting H1285 covenant, H6186 ordered H8104 in all things, and sure, H3468 for it is all my salvation, H2656 and all my desire, H6779 although he doesn't make it grow.

6 H1100 But all of the ungodly H6975 shall be as thorns H5074 to be thrust away, H3947 because they can't be taken H3027 with the hand,

7 H376 But the man H5060 who touches H4390 them must be armed H1270 with iron H6086 and the staff H2595 of a spear. H8313 They shall be utterly H8313 burned H784 with fire H7675 in their place."

8 H8034 These are the names H1368 of the mighty men H1732 whom David H7675 had: H3427 Josheb Basshebeth a H8461 Tahchemonite, H7218 chief H7991 of the captains; H5722 the same was Adino H6112 the Eznite, H8083 against eight H3967 hundred H2491 slain H259 at one H6471 time.

9 H310 After H499 him was Eleazar H1121 the son H1734 of Dodai H266 the son of an Ahohite, H7969 one of the three H1368 mighty men H1732 with David, H2778 when they defied H6430 the Philistines H622 who were there gathered together H4421 to battle, H376 and the men H3478 of Israel H5927 were gone away.

10 H6965 He arose, H5221 and struck H6430 the Philistines H3588 until H3027 his hand H3021 was weary, H3027 and his hand H1692 froze H2719 to the sword; H3068 and Yahweh H6213 worked H1419 a great H8668 victory H3117 that day; H5971 and the people H7725 returned H310 after H6584 him only to take spoil.

11 H310 After H8048 him was Shammah H1121 the son H89 of Agee H2043 a Hararite. H6430 The Philistines H622 were gathered together H2416 into a troop, H2513 where there was a plot H7704 of ground H4392 full H5742 of lentils; H5971 and the people H5127 fled H6440 from H6430 the Philistines.

12 H3320 But he stood H8432 in the midst H2513 of the plot, H5337 and defended H5221 it, and killed H6430 the Philistines; H3068 and Yahweh H6213 worked H1419 a great H8668 victory.

13 H7969 Three H7970 of the thirty H7218 chief H3381 men went down, H935 and came H1732 to David H7105 in the harvest time H4631 to the cave H5725 of Adullam; H2416 and the troop H6430 of the Philistines H2583 was encamped H6010 in the valley H7497 of Rephaim.

14 H1732 David H4686 was then in the stronghold; H4673 and the garrison H6430 of the Philistines H1035 was then in Bethlehem.

15 H1732 David H183 longed, H559 and said, H4325 "Oh that one would give me water H8248 to drink H953 of the well H1035 of Bethlehem, H8179 which is by the gate!"

16 H7969 The three H1368 mighty men H1234 broke through H4264 the army H6430 of the Philistines, H7579 and drew H4325 water H953 out of the well H1035 of Bethlehem, H8179 that was by the gate, H5375 and took H935 it, and brought H1732 it to David: H14 but he would H8354 not drink H5258 of it, but poured it out H3068 to Yahweh.

17 H559 He said, H2486 "Be it far H3068 from me, Yahweh, H6213 that I should do H1818 this! Isn't it the blood H582 of the men H1980 who went H5315 in jeopardy of their lives?" H14 Therefore he would H8354 not drink H7969 it. The three H1368 mighty men H6213 did these things.

18 H52 Abishai, H251 the brother H3097 of Joab, H1121 the son H6870 of Zeruiah, H7218 was chief H7992 of the three. H5782 He lifted up H2595 his spear H7969 against three H3967 hundred H2491 and killed H8034 them, and had a name H7969 among the three.

19 H3513 Wasn't he most honorable H7969 of the three? H8269 therefore he was made their captain: H935 however he didn't attain H7969 to the three.

20 H1141 Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada, H1121 the son H2428 of a valiant H376 man H6909 of Kabzeel, H7227 who had done mighty H6467 deeds, H5221 he killed H8147 the two H739 sons H4124 of Ariel of Moab: H3381 he went down H5221 also and killed H738 a lion H8432 in the midst H953 of a pit H3117 in time H7950 of snow.

21 H2026 He killed H4713 an Egyptian, H4758 a goodly H376 man: H4713 and the Egyptian H2595 had a spear H3027 in his hand; H3381 but he went down H7626 to him with a staff, H1497 and plucked H2595 the spear H4713 out of the Egyptian's H3027 hand, H5221 and killed H2595 him with his own spear.

22 H1141 Benaiah H1121 the son H3077 of Jehoiada H6213 did H8034 these things, and had a name H7969 among the three H1368 mighty men.

23 H3513 He was more honorable H7970 than the thirty, H935 but he didn't attain H7969 to the three. H1732 David H7760 set H4928 him over his guard.

24 H6214 Asahel H251 the brother H3097 of Joab H7970 was one of the thirty; H445 Elhanan H1121 the son H1734 of Dodo H1035 of Bethlehem,
