Then all Israel <H3478> gathered <H6908> themselves to David <H1732> unto Hebron, <H2275> saying, <H0559> Behold, we [are] thy bone <H6106> and thy flesh. <H1320>
2
And moreover <H1571> in time past, <H8543> <H8032> even <H1571> when Saul <H7586> was king, <H4428> thou [wast] he that leddest out <H3318> and broughtest in <H0935> Israel: <H3478> and the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> said <H0559> unto thee, Thou shalt feed <H7462> my people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and thou shalt be ruler <H5057> over my people <H5971> Israel. <H3478>
3
Therefore came <H0935> all the elders <H2205> of Israel <H3478> to the king <H4428> to Hebron; <H2275> and David <H1732> made <H3772> a covenant <H1285> with them in Hebron <H2275> before <H6440> the LORD; <H3068> and they anointed <H4886> David <H1732> king <H4428> over Israel, <H3478> according to the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> by <H3027> Samuel. <H8050>
4
And David <H1732> and all Israel <H3478> went <H3212> to Jerusalem, <H3389> which [is] Jebus; <H2982> where the Jebusites <H2983> [were], the inhabitants <H3427> of the land. <H0776>
5
And the inhabitants <H3427> of Jebus <H2982> said <H0559> to David, <H1732> Thou shalt not come <H0935> hither. Nevertheless David <H1732> took <H3920> the castle <H4686> of Zion, <H6726> which [is] the city <H5892> of David. <H1732>
6
And David <H1732> said, <H0559> Whosoever smiteth <H5221> the Jebusites <H2983> first <H7223> shall be chief <H7218> and captain. <H8269> So Joab <H3097> the son <H1121> of Zeruiah <H6870> went first <H7223> up, <H5927> and was chief. <H7218>
7
And David <H1732> dwelt <H3427> in the castle; <H4679> therefore they called <H7121> it the city <H5892> of David. <H1732>
8
And he built <H1129> the city <H5892> round about, <H5439> even from Millo <H4407> round about: <H5439> and Joab <H3097> repaired <H2421> the rest <H7605> of the city. <H5892>
9
So David <H1732> waxed <H3212> greater <H1980> and greater: <H1419> for the LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> [was] with him.
10
These also [are] the chief <H7218> of the mighty men <H1368> whom David <H1732> had, who strengthened <H2388> themselves with him in his kingdom, <H4438> [and] with all Israel, <H3478> to make him king, <H4427> according to the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> concerning Israel. <H3478>
11
And this [is] the number <H4557> of the mighty men <H1368> whom David <H1732> had; Jashobeam, <H3434> an Hachmonite, <H1121> <H2453> the chief <H7218> of the captains: <H7991> <H7970> he lifted up <H5782> his spear <H2595> against three <H7969> hundred <H3967> slain <H2491> [by him] at one <H0259> time. <H6471>
12
And after him <H0310> [was] Eleazar <H0499> the son <H1121> of Dodo, <H1734> the Ahohite, <H0266> who [was one] of the three <H7969> mighties. <H1368>
13
He was with David <H1732> at Pasdammim, <H6450> and there the Philistines <H6430> were gathered <H0622> together to battle, <H4421> where was a parcel <H2513> of ground <H7704> full <H4392> of barley; <H8184> and the people <H5971> fled <H5127> from before <H6440> the Philistines. <H6430>
14
And they set <H3320> themselves in the midst <H8432> of [that] parcel, <H2513> and delivered <H5337> it, and slew <H5221> the Philistines; <H6430> and the LORD <H3068> saved <H3467> [them] by a great <H1419> deliverance. <H8668>
15
Now three <H7969> of the thirty <H7970> captains <H7218> went down <H3381> to the rock <H6697> to David, <H1732> into the cave <H4631> of Adullam; <H5725> and the host <H4264> of the Philistines <H6430> encamped <H2583> in the valley <H6010> of Rephaim. <H7497>
16
And David <H1732> [was] then in the hold, <H4686> and the Philistines' <H6430> garrison <H5333> [was] then at Bethlehem. <H1035>
17
And David <H1732> longed, <H0183> and said, <H0559> Oh that one would give me drink <H8248> of the water <H4325> of the well <H0953> of Bethlehem, <H1035> that [is] at the gate! <H8179>
18
And the three <H7969> brake through <H1234> the host <H4264> of the Philistines, <H6430> and drew <H7579> water <H4325> out of the well <H0953> of Bethlehem, <H1035> that [was] by the gate, <H8179> and took <H5375> [it], and brought <H0935> [it] to David: <H1732> but David <H1732> would <H0014> not drink <H8354> [of] it, but poured it out <H5258> to the LORD, <H3068>
19
And said, <H0559> My God <H0430> forbid <H2486> it me, that I should do <H6213> this thing: <H2063> shall I drink <H8354> the blood <H1818> of these men <H0582> that have put their lives in jeopardy? <H5315> for with [the jeopardy of] their lives <H5315> they brought <H0935> it. Therefore he would <H0014> not drink <H8354> it. These things did <H6213> these three <H7969> mightiest. <H1368>
20
And Abishai <H0052> the brother <H0251> of Joab, <H3097> he was chief <H7218> of the three: <H7969> for lifting up <H5782> his spear <H2595> against three <H7969> hundred, <H3967> he slew <H2491> [them], and had a name <H8034> among the three. <H7969>
21
Of the three, <H7969> he was more honourable <H3513> than the two; <H8147> for he was their captain: <H8269> howbeit he attained <H0935> not to the [first] three. <H7969>
22
Benaiah <H1141> the son <H1121> of Jehoiada, <H3077> the son <H1121> of a valiant <H2428> man <H0376> of Kabzeel, <H6909> who had done many <H7227> acts; <H6467> he slew <H5221> two <H8147> lionlike men <H0739> of Moab: <H4124> also he went down <H3381> and slew <H5221> a lion <H0738> in <H8432> a pit <H0953> in a snowy <H7950> day. <H3117>
23
And he slew <H5221> an Egyptian, <H4713> <H0376> a man <H0376> of [great] stature, <H4060> five <H2568> cubits <H0520> high; and in the Egyptian's <H4713> hand <H3027> [was] a spear <H2595> like a weaver's <H0707> beam; <H4500> and he went down <H3381> to him with a staff, <H7626> and plucked <H1497> the spear <H2595> out of the Egyptian's <H4713> hand, <H3027> and slew <H2026> him with his own spear. <H2595>
24
These [things] did <H6213> Benaiah <H1141> the son <H1121> of Jehoiada, <H3077> and had the name <H8034> among the three <H7969> mighties. <H1368>
25
Behold, <H2009> he was honourable <H3513> among the thirty, <H7970> but attained <H0935> not to the [first] three: <H7969> and David <H1732> set <H7760> him over his guard. <H4928>
26
