Young's Literal Translation
Then
all Israel came
together
to
David at
Hebron and
said
, “Here
we
are
, your
own
flesh
and blood.
And
gathered
are
all Israel unto
David to
Hebron, saying
, `Lo,
thy
bone
and thy
flesh
`are'
we;
Even in times
past, while
Saul
was
king, you
were
the
one
who led
Israel
out and brought
them
back.
And the
LORD
your
God said,
‘You
will
shepherd
My people Israel, and you
will
be
ruler
over them
. ’”
even in time
past, even
in
Saul's
being
king, it
is
thou
who art
taking
out and bringing
in
Israel,
and Jehovah
thy
God saith
to
thee:
Thou
dost
feed
My people Israel, and thou
art
leader
over My
people
Israel
. '
So
all the elders of Israel came
to
the king at
Hebron, where
David made
a
covenant
with them before the
LORD.
And they anointed
him
king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD
through
Samuel.
And
all the elders of Israel come
in
unto
the king to
Hebron, and
David maketh
with them a
covenant
in
Hebron
before Jehovah,
and they anoint
David
for
king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah
by
the hand
of
Samuel.
Then
David and all the
Israelites
marched
to Jerusalem (that
is ,
Jebus )
, where
the Jebusites
inhabited
the land.
And
David goeth,
and all Israel,
to Jerusalem --
it
`
is '
Jebus --
and
there
the
Jebusite
, the inhabitants
of
the land.
The people
of Jebus said
to David, “You
will
never
get
in here.”
Nevertheless,
David captured
the fortress of Zion (that
is ,
the City of David )
.
And
the inhabitants
of Jebus say
to David, `Thou
dost
not
come
in hither;'
and
David captureth
the fortress of Zion --
it
`
is '
the city of David.
Now
David had
said
, “
Whoever is
the first
to
strike
down
a
Jebusite will
become chief
commander.”
And Joab son of Zeruiah went
up
first,
and he
became
the
chief
.
And
David saith
, `
Whoever smiteth
the Jebusite first
doth
become head
and prince;'
and
go
up
first
doth
Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh
head
.
So
David took
up
residence
in the fortress ;
that
is
why
it
was
called the
City of David .
And
David dwelleth
in the fortress ,
therefore
they
have
called it,
`
City of David ;'
He built
up
the city around
it
, from the
supporting
terraces
to
the surrounding
wall
, while
Joab restored
the rest of the city.
and
he buildeth
the city round
about
, from Millo,
and
unto
the circumference
, and
Joab restoreth
the rest of the city.
And David became
greater
and greater
, for
the
LORD
of Hosts was
with him.
And David goeth,
going
on
and becoming
great
, and
Jehovah
of Hosts `is'
with him.
Now
these were
the
chiefs
of David’s
mighty men
, who, together
with all Israel, bolstered
and
strengthened
his
kingdom
, according to the word of the
LORD
concerning
Israel.
And
these `are'
heads
of the
mighty ones
whom
David
hath
, who are
strengthening
themselves
with
him
in
his
kingdom
, with all Israel, to
cause
him
to
reign
, according to the word of Jehovah,
over
Israel.
This is the
list
of David’s
mighty men
: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni
was
chief
of the officers
; he wielded
his spear against three hundred men
, whom
he
killed
at one time.
And
this `
is '
an
account
of the
mighty ones
whom
David
hath
: Jashobeam son of a
Hachmonite
`is'
head
of the thirty
; he is
lifting
up
his spear against three hundred --
wounded
, at one time.
Next
in
command
was
Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one
of
the three mighty men.
And
after
him
`is'
Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he
`is'
among
the three mighty ;
He was
with David at
Pas-dammim when
the Philistines gathered there for
battle .
At
the
place
with
a field full of barley, the troops
fled from the Philistines .
he hath
been
with David in
Pas-Dammim ,
and
the Philistines have
been
gathered there to
battle ,
and
a portion
of
the
field is
full of barley, and
the people
have
fled from the face
of
the
Philistines ,
But
Eleazar
and David
stationed
themselves in the middle
of the field
and defended
it .
They
struck
down
the Philistines, and the
LORD
brought
about
a great victory
.
and they
station
themselves in the midst
of the portion,
and deliver
it ,
and
smite
the Philistines, and Jehovah
saveth
--
a great salvation
.
Three of the thirty chief
men
went
down to
David,
to
the rock at
the cave of Adullam, while
a
company
of Philistines was
encamped
in the Valley of Rephaim .
And
three of the thirty heads
go
down on
the rock unto
David,
unto
the cave of Adullam, and
the
host
of the
Philistines is
encamping
in the valley of Rephaim ,
At
that
time
David was
in the stronghold
, and the garrison
of the Philistines was
at
Bethlehem.
and
David `is'
then
in the fortress
, and the station
of the Philistines `is'
then
in
Beth-Lehem,
David
longed
for
water
and said
, “Oh
, that
someone
would
get
me a
drink of
water from the well near
the gate of
Bethlehem
! ”
and David
longeth
, and
saith
, `Who
doth
give
me to
drink water from the well of
Beth-Lehem,
that
`is'
at
the gate! '
So
the Three broke
through the Philistine
camp, drew
water from the well at the gate of
Bethlehem
, and brought
it
back
to
David .
But
he
refused
to drink it ;
instead
, he
poured
it out to the
LORD
,
And
the three break
through the camp of
the
Philistines
, and
draw
water from the well of
Beth-Lehem,
that
`is'
at the gate, and bear
and
bring
in
unto
David ,
and
David
hath
not
been
willing
to drink it, and
poureth
it out to Jehovah
,
saying
, “
Far be it from me, my God, to do this !
How
can
I
drink
the blood of these men who
risked
their lives? ”
Because
they had
brought it at
the
risk
of
their
lives,
David
refused
to drink it .
Such
were
the
exploits
of
the three mighty men
.
and
saith
, `
Far be it from me, by
my God, to do this ;
the blood of these men do
I
drink
with
their lives? for
with
their
lives
they have
brought it ;'
and
he
was
not
willing
to drink it ;
these
`things'
did
the three mighty ones
.
Now
Abishai ,
the
brother of Joab, was
chief
of the Three ,
and he lifted
his spear against three hundred men,
killed
them
, and won
a name along
with
the
Three.
And
Abishai brother of Joab, he
hath
been
head
of the three :
and he is
lifting
up
his spear against three hundred --
wounded
, and hath
a name among
three.
He
was
doubly
honored
above
the Three, and he
became
their commander,
even
though
he
was
not
included
among
the Three.
Of
the three by
the
two
he
is
honoured
, and becometh
their head;
and
unto
the `first'
three he
hath
not
come
.
And
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was
a man of valor
from
Kabzeel
, a
man
of many
exploits.
He struck
down
two champions
of
Moab
, and on
a
snowy
day
he went
down into
a
pit
and killed
a
lion.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada ,
son
of
a man of valour
, of great
deeds,
from
Kabzeel:
he hath
smitten
the
two lion-like
Moabites
, and he hath
gone
down and smitten
the
lion in
the
midst
of
the
pit,
in
the
day
of
snow
.
He also
killed
an
Egyptian
, a huge
man five cubits
tall.
Although
the Egyptian had
a spear like a weaver’s
beam in
his
hand
, Benaiah
went
against
him with a club
, snatched
the spear from
his
hand ,
and
killed
the Egyptian with his own spear.
And
he hath
smitten
the
man
, the
Egyptian
--
a man of
measure,
five by
the cubit
--
and
in
the
hand
of
the
Egyptian `is'
a spear like a beam of
weavers
, and
he
goeth
down
unto
him with a rod
, and
taketh
violently
away
the spear out
of
the
hand of
the Egyptian ,
and
slayeth
him
with his own spear.
These were
the
exploits
of
Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who
won
a name alongside
the three mighty men
.
These `things'
hath
Benaiah son of Jehoiada done
, and
hath
a name among
the three mighty ones
.
He
was
most
honored
among
the Thirty, but
he did
not
become
one
of
the Three .
And David appointed
him over his guard.
Of
the thirty, lo,
he `is'
honoured,
and
unto
the `first'
three he
hath
not
come,
and David setteth
him over his guard.
Now
