1 # Then all Israel <03478> gathered <06908> (8735) themselves to David <01732> unto Hebron <02275>, saying <0559> (8800), Behold, we are thy bone <06106> and thy flesh <01320>.
2 And moreover in time <08543> past <08032>, even when Saul <07586> was king <04428>, thou wast he that leddest out <03318> (8688) and broughtest in <0935> (8688) Israel <03478>: and the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> said <0559> (8799) unto thee, Thou shalt feed <07462> (8799) my people <05971> Israel <03478>, and thou shalt be ruler <05057> over my people <01571> Israel <03478>.
3 Therefore came <0935> (8799) all the elders <02205> of Israel <03478> to the king <04428> to Hebron <02275> ; and David <01732> made <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with them in Hebron <02275> before <06440> the LORD <03068>; and they anointed <04886> (8799) David <01732> king <04428> over Israel <03478>, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by <03027> Samuel <08050>.
4 And David <01732> and all Israel <03478> went <03212> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389>, which is Jebus <02982>; where the Jebusites <02983> were, the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776>.
5 And the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jebus <02982> said <0559> (8799) to David <01732>, Thou shalt not come <0935> (8799) hither. Nevertheless David <01732> took <03920> (8799) the castle <04686> of Zion <06726> , which is the city <05892> of David <01732>.
6 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799), Whosoever smiteth <05221> (8688) the Jebusites <02983> first <07223> shall be chief <07218> and captain <08269>. So Joab <03097> the son <01121> of Zeruiah <06870> went <05927> <00> first <07223> up <05927> (8799), and was chief <07218>.
7 And David <01732> dwelt <03427> (8799) in the castle <04679>; therefore they called <07121> (8804) it the city <05892> of David <01732>.
8 And he built <01129> (8799) the city <05892> round about <05439>, even from Millo <04407> round about <05439> : and Joab <03097> repaired <02421> (8762) the rest <07605> of the city <05892>.
9 So David <01732> waxed <03212> (8799) greater <01980> (8800) and greater <01419>: for the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> was with him.
10 # These also are the chief <07218> of the mighty men <01368> whom David <01732> had, who strengthened <02388> (8693) themselves with him in his kingdom <04438>, and with all Israel <03478>, to make him king <04427> (8687), according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> concerning Israel <03478>.
11 And this is the number <04557> of the mighty men <01368> whom David <01732> had; Jashobeam <03434>, an Hachmonite <02453>, the chief <07218> of the captains <07991> (8675) <07970>: he lifted up <05782> (8790) his spear <02595> against three <07969> hundred <03967> slain <02491> by him at one <0259> time <06471>.
12 And after <0310> him was Eleazar <0499> the son <01121> of Dodo <01734>, the Ahohite <0266>, who was one of the three <07969> mighties <01368>.
13 He was with David <01732> at Pasdammim <06450>, and there the Philistines <06430> were gathered together <0622> (8738) to battle <04421>, where was a parcel <02513> of ground <07704> full <04392> of barley <08184>; and the people <05971> fled <05127> (8804) from before <06440> the Philistines <06430>.
14 And they set <03320> (8691) themselves in the midst <08432> of that parcel <02513>, and delivered <05337> (8686) it, and slew <05221> (8686) the Philistines <06430>; and the LORD <03068> saved <03467> (8686) them by a great <01419> deliverance <08668>.
15 Now three <07969> of the thirty <07970> captains <07218> went down <03381> (8799) to the rock <06697> to David <01732>, into the cave <04631> of Adullam <05725>; and the host <04264> of the Philistines <06430> encamped <02583> (8802) in the valley <06010> of Rephaim <07497>.
16 And David <01732> was then in the hold <04686>, and the Philistines <06430>' garrison <05333> was then at Bethlehem <01035>.
17 And David <01732> longed <0183> (8691), and said <0559> (8799), Oh that one would give me drink <08248> (8686) of the water <04325> of the well <0953> of Bethlehem <01035>, that is at the gate <08179>!
18 And the three <07969> brake through <01234> (8799) the host <04264> of the Philistines <06430>, and drew <07579> (8799) water <04325> out of the well <0953> of Bethlehem <01035>, that was by the gate <08179>, and took <05375> (8799) it, and brought <0935> (8686) it to David <01732>: but David <01732> would <014> (8804) not drink <08354> (8800) of it, but poured it out <05258> (8762) to the LORD <03068>,
19 And said <0559> (8799), My God <0430> forbid <02486> it me, that I should do <06213> (8800) this thing <02063>: shall I drink <08354> (8799) the blood <01818> of these men <0582> that have put their lives in jeopardy <05315> ? for with the jeopardy of their lives <05315> they brought <0935> (8689) it. Therefore he would <014> (8804) not drink <08354> (8800) it. These things did <06213> (8804) these three <07969> mightiest <01368>.
20 And Abishai <052> the brother <0251> of Joab <03097>, he was chief <07218> of the three <07969>: for lifting up <05782> (8790) his spear <02595> against three <07969> hundred <03967>, he slew <02491> them, and had a name <08034> among the three <07969>.
21 Of the three <07969>, he was more honourable <03513> (8737) than the two <08147>; for he was their captain <08269> : howbeit he attained <0935> (8804) not to the first three <07969>.
22 Benaiah <01141> the son <01121> of Jehoiada <03077>, the son <01121> of a valiant <02428> man <0376> of Kabzeel <06909>, who had done many <07227> acts <06467>; he slew <05221> (8689) two <08147> lionlike men <0739> of Moab <04124>: also he went down <03381> (8804) and slew <05221> (8689) a lion <0738> in <08432> a pit <0953> in a snowy <07950> day <03117>.
23 And he slew <05221> (8689) an Egyptian <04713>, a man <0376> of great stature <04060>, five <02568> cubits <0520> high; and in the Egyptian's <04713> hand <03027> was a spear <02595> like a weaver's <0707> (8802) beam <04500>; and he went down <03381> (8799) to him with a staff <07626>, and plucked <01497> (8799) the spear <02595> out of the Egyptian's <04713> hand <03027>, and slew <02026> (8799) him with his own spear <02595>.
24 These things did <06213> (8804) Benaiah <01141> the son <01121> of Jehoiada <03077>, and had the name <08034> among the three <07969> mighties <01368>.
25 Behold <02009>, he was honourable <03513> (8737) among the thirty <07970>, but attained <0935> (8804) not to the first three <07969>: and David <01732> set <07760> (8799) him over his guard <04928>.
