2

"In timesh1571h8032ah8543 pasth8543h8032a, evenh1571 when Saulh7586 was kingh4428, you were the one who ledh3318 out and broughth935 in Israelh3478; and the LORDh3068 your Godh430 saidh559 to you, ` aYou shall shepherdh7462a My peopleh5971a Israelh3478, and you shall be princeh5057 overh5921 My peopleh5971a Israelh3478.' "

So allh3605 the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478 cameh935 to the kingh4428 at Hebronh2275a, and Davidh1732 madeh3772 a covenanth1285 with them in Hebronh2275a beforeh6440 the LORDh3068; and  athey anointedh4886 Davidh1732 kingh4428 overh5921 Israelh3478,  baccording to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 throughh3027 Samuelh8050.

Jerusalem, Capital City

Then Davidh1732 and allh3605 Israelh3478 wenth1980 to Jerusalemh3389athat is, Jebush2982); and the Jebusitesh2983, the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776, were thereh8033.

5

The inhabitantsh3427 of Jebush2982 saidh559 to Davidh1732, "You shall not enterh935 hereh2008." Nevertheless Davidh1732 capturedh3920 the strongholdh4686b of Zionh6726 (that is, the cityh5892b of Davidh1732).

6

Now Davidh1732 had saidh559, "Whoeverh3605 strikesh5221 downh5221 a Jebusiteh2983 firsth7223 shall be chiefh7218 and commanderh8269."  aJoabh3097 the sonh1121 of Zeruiahh6870 wenth5927 up firsth7223, so he becameh1961 chiefh7218.

7

Then Davidh1732 dwelth3427 in the strongholdh4679; thereforeh5921h3651 it was calledh7121 the cityh5892b of Davidh1732.

8

He  1builth1129 the cityh5892b allh5439 aroundh5439, from the  2Milloh4407 even to the surroundingh5439 areah5439; and Joabh3097  3repairedh2421a the resth7605 of the cityh5892b.

9

 aDavidh1732 becameh1980 greaterh1980 and greaterh1419, for the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 was with him.

David's Mighty Men

10

 aNow theseh428 are the headsh7218 of the mightyh1368 menh1368 whomh834 Davidh1732 had, who gaveh2388 him strongh2388 supporth2388 in his kingdomh4438, togetherh5973 with allh3605 Israelh3478, to makeh4427a him kingh4427a,  baccording to the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 concerningh5921 Israelh3478.

11

Theseh428 constitute the listh4557 of the mightyh1368 menh1368 whomh834 Davidh1732 had:  aJashobeamh3434, the sonh1121 of a Hachmoniteh2453,  bthe chiefh7218 of the thirtyh7970; he liftedh5782 up his spearh2595 againsth5921 threeh7969 hundredh3967  1whom he killedh2491a at oneh259 timeh6471.

12

Afterh310 him was Eleazarh499 the sonh1121 of  aDodoh1734, the Ahohiteh266, whoh1931 was  1one of the threeh7969 mightyh1368 menh1368.

13

He was with Davidh1732 at  1Pasdammimh6450  awhen the Philistinesh6430 were gatheredh622 together thereh8033 to battleh4421, and there was a ploth2513a of groundh7704 fullh4392 of barleyh8184; and the peopleh5971a fledh5127 beforeh4480h6440 the Philistinesh6430.

14

They tookh3320 their standh3320 in the midsth8432 of the ploth2513a and defendedh5337 it, and struckh5221 downh5221 the Philistinesh6430; and the LORDh3068 savedh3467 them by a greath1419  1victoryh8668.

15

Now threeh7969 of the thirtyh7970 chiefh7218 menh7218 wenth3381 downh3381 to the rockh6697 to Davidh1732, into the caveh4631 of Adullamh5725, while  athe armyh4264 of the Philistinesh6430 was campingh2583 in the valleyh6010 of Rephaimh7497.

16

Davidh1732 was thenh227 in the strongholdh4686b, while  athe garrisonh5333 of the Philistinesh6430 was thenh227 in Bethlehemh1035.

17

Davidh1732 hadh183 a cravingh183 and saidh559, "Ohh4310 that someoneh4310 would giveh8248 me waterh4325 to drinkh8248 from the wellh953a of Bethlehemh1035, whichh834 is by the gateh8179!"

18

So the threeh7969 brokeh1234 throughh1234 the camph4264 of the Philistinesh6430 and drewh7579 waterh4325 from the wellh953a of Bethlehemh1035 whichh834 was by the gateh8179, and tookh5375 it and broughth935 it to Davidh1732; nevertheless Davidh1732 wouldh14 not drinkh8354 it, but pouredh5258a it out to the LORDh3068;

19

and he saidh559, "Be it farh2486 from me beforeh4480 my Godh430 that I should doh6213a thish2088. Shall I drinkh8354 the bloodh1818 of theseh428 menh376 who went  1at the risk of their livesh5315? For at the risk of their livesh5315 they broughth935 it." Therefore he wouldh14 not drinkh8354 it. Theseh428 thingsh428 the threeh7969 mightyh1368 menh1368 didh6213a.

20

As for  1Abshaih52 the brotherh251 of Joabh3097, he was chiefh7218 of the  2thirtyh7970, and he swungh5782 his spearh2595 againsth5921 threeh7969 hundredh3967  3and killedh2491a them; and he had a nameh8034 as well as the  2thirtyh7970.

21

Of the threeh7969 in the secondh8147 rank he was the most honoredh3513 and becameh1961 their commanderh8269; however, he did not attainh935 to the first threeh7969.

22

 aBenaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077, the sonh1121 of a valianth2428 manh376 of Kabzeelh6909, mightyh7227a in deedsh6467, struckh5221 downh5221 the  1twoh8147 sons of Arielh739 of Moabh4124. He also wenth3381 downh3381 and  2killedh5221 a lionh738 insideh8432 a pith953a on a snowyh7950 dayh3117.

23

He  1killedh5221 an Egyptianh4713, a manh376 of great statureh4060a fiveh2568  2cubitsh520 tall. Now in the Egyptian'sh4713 handh3027 was  aa spearh2595 like a weaver'sh707 beamh4500, but he wenth3381 downh3381 to him with a clubh7626 and snatchedh1497 the spearh2595 from the Egyptian'sh4713 handh3027 and  1killedh2026 him with his own spearh2595.

24

Theseh428 things Benaiahh1141 the sonh1121 of Jehoiadah3077 didh6213a, and had a nameh8034 as well as the threeh7969 mightyh1368 menh1368.

25

Beholdh2009, he was honoredh3513 amongh4480 the thirtyh7970, but he did not attainh935 to the threeh7969; and Davidh1732 appointedh7760 him overh5921 his guardh4928.
