11THEN [after the death of Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, who ruled over eleven tribes of Israel for two troubled years after Saul's death] all Israel gathered at Hebron and said to David, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.H3478H6908H1732H2275H559H6106H1320 2In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord your God said to you, You shall be shepherd of My people Israel, and you shall be prince {and} leader over [them].H8543H8032H7586H4428H3318H935H3478H3068H430H559H7462H5971H3478H5057H1571H3478 3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them there before the Lord, and they anointed [him] king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord through Samuel.H935H2205H3478H4428H2275H1732H3772H1285H2275H6440H3068H4886H1732H4428H3478H1697H3068H3027H8050 4And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.H1732H3478H3212H3389H2982H2983H3427H776 5Then the Jebusites said to David, You shall not come in here! But David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.H3427H2982H559H1732H935H1732H3920H4686H6726H5892H1732 6And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander. Joab son of Zeruiah [David's half sister] went up first, and so he was made chief.H1732H559H5221H2983H7223H7218H8269H3097H1121H6870H5927H7223H5927H7218 7David dwelt in the stronghold; so it was called the City of David.H1732H3427H4679H7121H5892H1732 8He built the city from the Millo [a fortification] on around; and Joab repaired {and} revived the rest of the [old Jebusite] city.H1129H5892H5439H4407H5439H3097H2421H7605H5892 9And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.H1732H3212H1980H1419H3068H6635 10Now these are the chiefs of David's mighty men, who strongly supported him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.H7218H1368H1732H2388H4438H3478H4427H1697H3068H3478 11And this is the number [thirty, and list] of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, a Hachmonite, the chief of the Thirty [captains]. He lifted up his spear against 300, whom he slew at one time.H4557H1368H1732H3434H2453H7218H7991H7970H5782H2595H7969H3967H2491H259H6471 12Next to him in rank was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.H310H499H1121H1734H266H7969H1368 13He was with David at Pas-dammim [where David had long before slain Goliath], and there the Philistines were gathered for battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley {or} lentils; and the men [of Israel] fled before the Philistines.H1732H6450H6430H622H4421H2513H7704H4392H8184H5971H5127H6440H6430 14And Eleazar [one of the Three] stood in the midst of that plot and defended it and slew the Philistines [until his hand was weary, and his hand cleaved to the sword], and the Lord saved by a great victory {and} deliverance.H3320H8432H2513H5337H5221H6430H3068H3467H1419H8668 15Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, and the army of the Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.H7969H7970H7218H3381H6697H1732H4631H5725H4264H6430H2583H6010H7497 16David was then in the stronghold, and the Philistines' garrison was in Bethlehem.H1732H4686H6430H5333H1035 17And David longingly said, Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!H1732H183H559H8248H4325H953H1035H8179 18Then the Three [mighty men] broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate and brought it to David. But David would not drink it; he poured it out to the Lord,H7969H1234H4264H6430H7579H4325H953H1035H8179H5375H935H1732H1732H14H8354H5258H3068 19And said, My God forbid that I should do this thing. Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy? For at the risk of their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.H559H430H2486H6213H2063H8354H1818H582H5315H5315H935H14H8354H6213H7969H1368 20Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. For he lifted up his spear against 300 and slew them, and was named among the Three.H52H251H3097H7218H7969H5782H2595H7969H3967H2491H8034H7969 21Of the Three [in the second rank] he was more renowned than the two, and became their captain; however, he attained not to the first three.H7969H3513H8147H8269H935H7969 22Benaiah son of Jehoiada, whose father was a valiant man of Kabzeel, had done mighty deeds. He slew the two sons of Ariel of Moab. Also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in time of snow.H1141H1121H3077H1121H2428H376H6909H7227H6467H5221H8147H739H4124H3381H5221H738H8432H953H7950H3117 23He slew an Egyptian also, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian held a spear like a weaver's beam, and [Benaiah] went to him with a staff and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and slew him with the man's own spear.H5221H4713H376H4060H2568H520H4713H3027H2595H707H4500H3381H7626H1497H2595H4713H3027H2026H2595 24These things did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and won a name beside the three mighty men.H6213H1141H1121H3077H8034H7969H1368 25He was renowned among the Thirty, but he did not attain to the rank of the first three. David put him over his guard {and} council.H2009H3513H7970H935H7969H1732H7760H4928 26Also the mighty men of the armies were: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,H1368H2428H6214H251H3097H445H1121H1734H1035 27Shammoth of Harod, Helez the Pelonite,H8054H2033H2503H6397 28Ira son of Ikkesh of Tekoa, Abiezer of Anathoth,H5896H1121H6142H8621H44H6069 29Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,H5444H2843H5866H266 30Maharai of Netophah, Heled son of Baanah of Netophah,H4121H5200H2466H1121H1196H5200 31Ithai son of Ribai of Gibeah of the Benjamites, Benaiah of Pirathon,H863H1121H7380H1390H1121H1144H1141H6553 32Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,H2360H5158H1608H22H6164 33Azmaveth of Baharum, Eliahba of Shaalbon,H5820H978H455H8170 34The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite,H1121H2044H1493H3129H1121H7681H2043 35Ahiam son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal son of Ur,H279H1121H7940H2043H465H1121H218 36Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,H2660H4382H281H6397 37Hezro of Carmel, Naarai son of Ezbai,H2695H3761H5293H1121H229 38Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar son of Hagri,H3100H251H5416H4006H1121H1905 39Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah [David's half sister],H6768H5984H5171H1307H5375H3627H3097H1121H6870 40Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,H5896H3505H1619H3505 41Uriah the Hittite [Bathsheba's husband], Zabad son of Ahlai,H223H2850H2066H1121H304 42Adina son of Shiza, a leader of the Reubenites, and thirty heroes with him,H5721H1121H7877H7206H7218H7206H7970 43Hanan son of Maacah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,H2605H1121H4601H3146H4981 44Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham the Aroerite,H5814H6254H8091H3273H1121H2369H6200 45Jediael son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,H3043H1121H8113H3109H251H8491 46Eliel the Mahavite, Jeribai and Joshaviah sons of Elnaam, Ithmah the Moabite,H447H4233H3403H3145H1121H493H3495H4125 47Eliel, Obed, and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.H447H5744H3300H4677
