2 Samuel 23

David's Last Song

1

Now theseh428 are the lasth314 wordsh1697 of Davidh1732. Davidh1732 the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448 declaresh5002,  aThe manh1397 who was raisedh6965 on highh5920 declaresh5002,  bThe anointedh4899 of the Godh430 of Jacobh3290, And the sweeth5273b psalmisth2158 of Israelh3478,

2

aThe Spirith7307 of the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 by me, And His wordh4405 was on my tongueh3956.

3

"The Godh430 of Israelh3478 saidh559,  aThe Rockh6697 of Israelh3478 spokeh1696 to me, ` bHe who rulesh4910 over menh120 righteouslyh6662,  cWho rulesh4910 in the fearh3374 of Godh430,

4

 aIs as the lighth216 of the morningh1242 when the sunh8121 risesh2224, A morningh1242 withouth3808 cloudsh5645, When the tenderh1877 grassh1877 springs out of the earthh776, Throughh4480 sunshineh5051 afterh4480 rainh4306.'

5

"Trulyh3588 is not my househ1004 soh3651 with Godh410? For  aHe has madeh7760 an everlastingh5769 covenanth1285 with me, Orderedh6186a in allh3605 thingsh3605, and securedh8104; For allh3605 my salvationh3468 and allh3605 my desireh2656, Will He not indeedh3588 make it growh6779?

6

aBut the worthlessh1100, everyh3605 oneh3605 of them will be thrusth5074 awayh5074 like thornsh6975, Becauseh3588 they cannoth3808 be takenh3947 in handh3027;

7

But the manh376 who touchesh5060 them Must be  1armedh4390 with ironh1270 and the shafth6086 of a spearh2595, And  athey will be completelyh8313 burnedh8313 with fireh784 in their  2placeh7675."

His Mighty Men

8

 aTheseh428 are the namesh8034 of the mightyh1368 menh1368 whomh834 Davidh1732 had: Josheb-basshebethh3429 a Tahchemoniteh8461, chiefh7218 of the  1captainsh7991c, he was called Adinoh5722 the Ezniteh6112, becauseh5921 of eighth8083 hundredh3967 slainh2491a by him at oneh259 timeh6471;

9

and afterh310 him was Eleazarh499 the sonh1121 of  aDodoh1734 the  bAhohiteh266, one of the threeh7969 mightyh1368 menh1368 with Davidh1732 when they  1defiedh2778a the Philistinesh6430 who were gatheredh622 thereh8033 to battleh4421 and the menh376 of Israelh3478 had  2withdrawnh5927.

10

 aHe aroseh6965 and struckh5221 the Philistinesh6430 untilh5704h3588 his handh3027 was wearyh3021 and  1clungh1692 to the swordh2719, and  bthe LORDh3068 broughth6213a abouth6213a a greath1419  2victoryh8668 that dayh3117; and the peopleh5971a returnedh7725 afterh310 him onlyh389 to striph6584 the slain.

11

Now afterh310 him was Shammahh8048 the sonh1121 of Ageeh89 a  aHarariteh2043. And the Philistinesh6430 were gatheredh622  1into a trooph2422a whereh8033 thereh8033 was a ploth2513a of groundh7704 fullh4392 of lentilsh5742, and the peopleh5971a fledh5127 from the Philistinesh6430.

12

But he tookh3320 his standh3320 in the midsth8432 of the ploth2513a, defendedh5337 it and struckh5221 the Philistinesh6430; and  athe LORDh3068 broughth6213a abouth6213a a greath1419  1victoryh8668.

13

Then threeh7969 of the thirtyh7970 chiefh7218 menh7218 wenth3381 downh3381 and cameh935 to Davidh1732 in the harvesth7105a timeh7105a to the  acaveh4631 of Adullamh5725, while the trooph2422a of the Philistinesh6430 was campingh2583 in  bthe valleyh6010 of Rephaimh7497.

14

Davidh1732 was thenh227  ain the strongholdh4686b, while the garrisonh4673 of the Philistinesh6430 was thenh227 in Bethlehemh1035.

15

 aDavidh1732 hadh183 a cravingh183 and saidh559, "Ohh4310 that someoneh4310 would giveh8248 me waterh4325 to drinkh8248 from the wellh877 of Bethlehemh1035 whichh834 is by the gateh8179!"

16

 aSo the threeh7969 mightyh1368 menh1368 brokeh1234 throughh1234 the camph4264 of the Philistinesh6430, and drewh7579 waterh4325 from the wellh877 of Bethlehemh1035 whichh834 was by the gateh8179, and tookh5375 it and broughth935 it to Davidh1732. Nevertheless he wouldh14 not drinkh8354 it, but  bpouredh5258a it out to the LORDh3068;

17

and he saidh559, "Be it farh2486 from me, O LORDh3068, that I should doh6213a thish2088.  aShall I drink the bloodh1818 of the menh376 who wenth1980 in jeopardy of their livesh5315?" Therefore he wouldh14 not drinkh8354 it. Theseh428 thingsh428 the threeh7969 mightyh1368 menh1368 didh6213a.

18

 aAbishaih52, the brotherh251 of Joabh3097, the sonh1121 of Zeruiahh6870, was  bchiefh7218 of the  1thirtyh7992. And he swungh5782 his spearh2595 againsth5921 threeh7969 hundredh3967  2and killedh2491a them, and had a nameh8034 as well as the threeh7969.

19

He was mosth4480 honoredh3513 of the thirtyh7969, therefore he becameh1961 their commanderh8269; however, he did not attainh935 to the threeh7969.

20

Then  aBenaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077, the sonh1121 of a valianth2428 manh376 of  bKabzeelh6909, who had done mightyh7227a deedsh6467,  1killedh5221 the  2twoh8147 sons of Arielh739 of Moabh4124. He also wenth3381 downh3381 and killedh5221 a lionh743b in the middleh8432 of a pith877 on a snowyh7950 dayh3117.

21

He  1killedh5221 an Egyptianh4713,  2an impressiveh4758 manh376. Now the Egyptianh4713 had a spearh2595 in his handh3027, but he wenth3381 downh3381 to him with a clubh7626 and snatchedh1497 the spearh2595 from the Egyptian'sh4713 handh3027 and killedh2026 him with his own spearh2595.

22

Theseh428 things  aBenaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077 didh6213a, and had a nameh8034 as well as the threeh7969 mightyh1368 menh1368.

23

He was honoredh3513 amongh4480 the thirtyh7970, but he did not attainh935 to the threeh7969. And Davidh1732 appointedh7760 him overh413 his guardh4928.
