Now these [be] the last <H0314> words <H1697> of David. <H1732> David <H1732> the son <H1121> of Jesse <H3448> said, <H5002> and the man <H1397> [who was] raised up <H6965> on high, <H5920> the anointed <H4899> of the God <H0430> of Jacob, <H3290> and the sweet <H5273> psalmist <H2158> of Israel, <H3478> said, <H5002>
2
The Spirit <H7307> of the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> by me, and his word <H4405> [was] in my tongue. <H3956>
3
The God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> said, <H0559> the Rock <H6697> of Israel <H3478> spake <H1696> to me, He that ruleth <H4910> over men <H0120> [must be] just, <H6662> ruling <H4910> in the fear <H3374> of God. <H0430>
4
And [he shall be] as the light <H0216> of the morning, <H1242> [when] the sun <H8121> riseth, <H2224> [even] a morning <H1242> without <H3808> clouds; <H5645> [as] the tender grass <H1877> [springing] out of the earth <H0776> by clear shining <H5051> after rain. <H4306>
5
Although my house <H1004> [be] not so with God; <H0410> yet he hath made <H7760> with me an everlasting <H5769> covenant, <H1285> ordered <H6186> in all [things], and sure: <H8104> for [this is] all my salvation, <H3468> and all [my] desire, <H2656> although he make [it] not to grow. <H6779>
6
But [the sons] of Belial <H1100> [shall be] all of them as thorns <H6975> thrust away, <H5074> because they cannot be taken <H3947> with hands: <H3027>
7
But the man <H0376> [that] shall touch <H5060> them must be fenced <H4390> with iron <H1270> and the staff <H6086> of a spear; <H2595> and they shall be utterly <H8313> burned <H8313> with fire <H0784> in the [same] place. <H7675>
8
These [be] the names <H8034> of the mighty men <H1368> whom David <H1732> had: The Tachmonite <H8461> that sat in the seat, <H3427> chief <H7218> among the captains; <H7991> the same [was] Adino <H5722> the Eznite: <H6112> [he lift up his spear] against eight <H8083> hundred, <H3967> whom he slew <H2491> at one <H0259> time. <H6471>
9
And after <H0310> him [was] Eleazar <H0499> the son <H1121> of Dodo <H1734> the Ahohite, <H1121> <H0266> [one] of the three <H7969> mighty men <H1368> with David, <H1732> when they defied <H2778> the Philistines <H6430> [that] were there gathered <H0622> together to battle, <H4421> and the men <H0376> of Israel <H3478> were gone away: <H5927>
10
He arose, <H6965> and smote <H5221> the Philistines <H6430> until <H3588> his hand <H3027> was weary, <H3021> and his hand <H3027> clave <H1692> unto the sword: <H2719> and the LORD <H3068> wrought <H6213> a great <H1419> victory <H8668> that day; <H3117> and the people <H5971> returned <H7725> after <H0310> him only to spoil. <H6584>
11
And after <H0310> him [was] Shammah <H8048> the son <H1121> of Agee <H0089> the Hararite. <H2043> And the Philistines <H6430> were gathered <H0622> together into a troop, <H2416> where was a piece <H2513> of ground <H7704> full <H4392> of lentiles: <H5742> and the people <H5971> fled <H5127> from <H6440> the Philistines. <H6430>
12
But he stood <H3320> in the midst <H8432> of the ground, <H2513> and defended <H5337> it, and slew <H5221> the Philistines: <H6430> and the LORD <H3068> wrought <H6213> a great <H1419> victory. <H8668>
13
And three <H7969> <H7970> of the thirty <H7970> chief <H7218> went down, <H3381> and came <H0935> to David <H1732> in the harvest <H7105> time unto the cave <H4631> of Adullam: <H5725> and the troop <H2416> of the Philistines <H6430> pitched <H2583> in the valley <H6010> of Rephaim. <H7497>
14
And David <H1732> [was] then in an hold, <H4686> and the garrison <H4673> of the Philistines <H6430> [was] then [in] Bethlehem. <H1035>
15
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> which [is] by the gate! <H8179>
16
And the three <H7969> mighty men <H1368> 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> nevertheless he would <H0014> not drink <H8354> thereof, but poured it out <H5258> unto the LORD. <H3068>
17
And he said, <H0559> Be it far <H2486> from me, O LORD, <H3068> that I should do <H6213> this: [is not this] the blood <H1818> of the men <H0582> that went <H1980> in jeopardy of their lives? <H5315> therefore he would <H0014> not drink <H8354> it. These things did <H6213> these three <H7969> mighty men. <H1368>
18
And Abishai, <H0052> the brother <H0251> of Joab, <H3097> the son <H1121> of Zeruiah, <H6870> was chief <H7218> among three. <H7969> <H7992> And he lifted up <H5782> his spear <H2595> against three <H7969> hundred, <H3967> [and] slew <H2491> [them], and had the name <H8034> among three. <H7969>
19
Was he not most honourable <H3513> of three? <H7969> therefore he was their captain: <H8269> howbeit he attained <H0935> not unto the [first] three. <H7969>
20
And 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> he went down <H3381> also and slew <H5221> a lion <H0738> in the midst <H8432> of a pit <H0953> in time <H3117> of snow: <H7950>
21
And he slew <H5221> an Egyptian, <H4713> <H0376> a goodly <H4758> man: <H0376> and the Egyptian <H4713> had a spear <H2595> in his hand; <H3027> but 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>
22
These [things] did <H6213> Benaiah <H1141> the son <H1121> of Jehoiada, <H3077> and had the name <H8034> among three <H7969> mighty men. <H1368>
23
He was more honourable <H3513> than the thirty, <H7970> but he attained <H0935> not to the [first] three. <H7969> And David <H1732> set <H7760> him over his guard. <H4928>
