1
H3478
Then all Israel
H6908 [H8735]
gathered
H1732
themselves to David
H2275
to Hebron,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H6106
Behold, we are thy bone
H1320
and thy flesh.
2
H8543
And moreover in time
H8032
past,
H7586
even when Saul
H4428
was king,
H3318 [H8688]
thou wast he that leddest out
H935 [H8688]
and broughtest in
H3478
Israel:
H3068
and the LORD
H430
thy God
H559 [H8799]
said
H7462 [H8799]
to thee, Thou shalt feed
H5971
my people
H3478
Israel,
H5057
and thou shalt be ruler
H1571
over my people
H3478
Israel.
3
H935 [H8799]
Therefore came
H2205
all the elders
H3478
of Israel
H4428
to the king
H2275
to Hebron;
H1732
and David
H3772 [H8799]
made
H1285
a covenant
H2275
with them in Hebron
H6440
at the face of
H3068
the LORD;
H4886 [H8799]
and they anointed
H1732
David
H4428
king
H3478
over Israel,
H1697
according to the word
H3068
of the LORD
H3027
by
H8050
Samuel.
4
H1732
And David
H3478
and all Israel
H3212 [H8799]
went
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H2982
which is Jebus;
H2983
where the Jebusites
H3427 [H8802]
were, the inhabitants
H776
of the land.
5
H3427 [H8802]
And the inhabitants
H2982
of Jebus
H559 [H8799]
said
H1732
to David,
H935 [H8799]
Thou shalt not come
H1732
here. Nevertheless David
H3920 [H8799]
took
H4686
the strong hold
H6726
of Zion,
H5892
which is the city
H1732
of David.
6
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5221 [H8688]
Whoever smiteth
H2983
the Jebusites
H7223
first
H7218
shall be chief
H8269
and captain.
H3097
So Joab
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah
H5927 [H8799]
went up
H7223
first,
H7218
and was chief.
7
H1732
And David
H3427 [H8799]
dwelt
H4679
in the strong hold;
H7121 [H8804]
therefore they called
H5892
it the city
H1732
of David.
8
H1129 [H8799]
And he built
H5892
the city
H5439
all around,
H4407
even from Millo
H5439
all around:
H3097
and Joab
H2421 [H8762]
repaired
H7605
the rest
H5892
of the city.
9
H1732
So David
H3212 [H8799]
became
H1980 [H8800]
greater
H1419
and greater:
H3068
for the LORD
H6635
of hosts was with him.
10
H7218
These also are the chief
H1368
of the mighty men
H1732
whom David
H2388 [H8693]
had, who strengthened
H4438
themselves with him in his kingdom,
H3478
and with all Israel,
H4427 [H8687]
to make him king,
H1697
according to the word
H3068
of the LORD
H3478
concerning Israel.
11
H4557
And this is the number
H1368
of the mighty men
H1732
whom David
H3434
had; Jashobeam,
H2453
an Hachmonite,
H7218
the chief
H7991 H7970 [H8675]
of the captains:
H5782 [H8790]
he lifted
H2595
his spear
H7969
against three
H3967
hundred
H2491
slain
H259
by him at one
H6471
time.
12
H310
And after
H499
him was Eleazar
H1121
the son
H1734
of Dodo,
H266
the Ahohite,
H7969
who was one of the three
H1368
mighty men.
13
H1732
He was with David
H6450
at Pasdammim,
H6430
and there the Philistines
H622 [H8738]
were gathered
H4421
to battle,
H2513
where was a parcel
H7704
of ground
H4392
full
H8184
of barley;
H5971
and the people
H5127 [H8804]
fled
H6440
from the face of
H6430
the Philistines.
14
H3320 [H8691]
And they set
H8432
themselves in the midst
H2513
of that parcel,
H5337 [H8686]
and delivered
H5221 [H8686]
it, and slew
H6430
the Philistines;
H3068
and the LORD
H3467 [H8686]
liberated
H1419
them by a great
H8668
deliverance.
15
H7969
Now three
H7970
of the thirty
H7218
captains
H3381 [H8799]
went down
H6697
to the rock
H1732
to David,
H4631
into the cave
H5725
of Adullam;
H4264
and the host
H6430
of the Philistines
H2583 [H8802]
encamped
H6010
in the valley
H7497
of Rephaim.
16
H1732
And David
H4686
was then in the strong hold,
H6430
and the Philistines'
H5333
garrison
H1035
was then at Bethlehem.
17
H1732
And David
H183 [H8691]
longed,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H8248 [H8686]
O that one would give me drink
H4325
of the water
H953
of the well
H1035
of Bethlehem,
H8179
that is at the gate!
18
H7969
And the three
H1234 [H8799]
broke through
H4264
the host
H6430
of the Philistines,
H7579 [H8799]
and drew
H4325
water
H953
out of the well
H1035
of Bethlehem,
H8179
that was by the gate,
H5375 [H8799]
and took
H935 [H8686]
it, and brought
H1732
it to David:
H1732
but David
H14 [H8804]
would
H8354 [H8800]
not drink
H5258 [H8762]
of it, but poured it out
H3068
to the LORD,
19
H559 [H8799]
And said,
H430
My God
H2486
forbid
H6213 [H8800]
it me, that I should do
H2063
this thing:
H8354 [H8799]
shall I drink
H1818
the blood
H582
of these men
H5315
that have put their lives in jeopardy?
H5315
for with the jeopardy of their lives
H935 [H8689]
they brought
H14 [H8804]
it. Therefore he would
H8354 [H8800]
not drink
H6213 [H8804]
it. These things did
H7969
these three
H1368
mighty men.
20
H52
And Abishai
H251
the brother
H3097
of Joab,
H7218
he was chief
H7969
of the three:
H5782 [H8790]
for lifting
H2595
his spear
H7969
against three
H3967
hundred,
H2491
he slew
H8034
them, and had a name
H7969
among the three.
21
H7969
Of the three,
H3513 [H8737]
he was more honourable
H8147
than the two;
H8269
for he was their captain:
H935 [H8804]
but he attained
H7969
not to the first three.
22
H1141
Benaiah
H1121
the son
H3077
of Jehoiada,
H1121
the son
H2428
of a valiant
H376
man
H6909
of Kabzeel,
H7227
who had done many
H6467
deeds;
H5221 [H8689]
he slew
H8147
two
H739
lionlike men
H4124
of Moab:
H3381 [H8804]
also he went down
H5221 [H8689]
and slew
H738
a lion
H8432
in
H953
a hole
H7950
in a snowy
H3117
day.
23
H5221 [H8689]
And he slew
H4713
an Egyptian,
H376
a man
H4060
of great stature,
H2568
five
H520
cubits
H4713
tall; and in the Egyptian's
H3027
hand
H2595
was a spear
H707 [H8802]
like a weaver's
H4500
beam;
H3381 [H8799]
and he went down
H7626
to him with a staff,
H1497 [H8799]
and plucked
H2595
the spear
H4713
out of the Egyptian's
H3027
hand,
H2026 [H8799]
and slew
H2595
him with his own spear.
24
H6213 [H8804]
These things did
H1141
Benaiah
H1121
the son
H3077
of Jehoiada,
H8034
and had a name
H7969
among the three
H1368
mighty men.
25
H2009
Behold,
H3513 [H8737]
he was honourable
H7970
among the thirty,
H935 [H8804]
but attained
H7969
not to the first three:
H1732
and David
H7760 [H8799]
set
H4928
him over his guard.
26
H1368
Also the valiant men
H2428
of the armies
H6214
were, Asahel
H251
