YLT
Young's Literal Translation
These are the last words of David: “
The oracle
of David son of Jesse ,
the oracle
of the man raised on
high,
the one
anointed by
the God of Jacob, and the sweet
psalmist
of Israel:
And
these `
are '
the last words of David: --
`
The affirmation
of David son of Jesse --
And
the affirmation
of the man raised up
--
Concerning
the Anointed of
the God of Jacob, And the Sweetness
of the
Songs
of
Israel:
The Spirit of the
LORD
spoke
through
me ;
His word was
on my tongue.
The Spirit of Jehovah
hath
spoken
by
me ,
And
His word `is'
on my tongue.
The God of Israel spoke;
the Rock of Israel said
to
me,
‘
He who rules
the
people
with
justice
, who
rules
in the fear of God ,
He
said
--
the God of Israel --
to
me,
He
spake
--
the Rock of Israel :
He who is
ruling
over
man
`is'
righteous
, He
is
ruling
in the fear of God .
is
like
the light of the
morning at
sunrise
of
a
cloudless
dawn
, the glistening
after
the rain on
the
sprouting
grass of the earth .’
And
as
the light of morning he
riseth
, A
morning
sun
--
no
clouds!
By
the shining,
by
the rain ,
Tender
grass of the earth !
Is
not my house right
with God ?
For He has
established
with me an
everlasting
covenant
, ordered
and
secured
in every
part.
Will
He
not
bring
about
my full
salvation and my
every
desire ?
For
--
not so
`is'
my house with God ;
For --
a
covenant
age-during
He made
with me, Arranged
in all
things,
and
kept;
For
--
all
my salvation ,
and all
desire ,
For
--
He
hath
not
caused
`it'
to
spring
up.
But
the worthless are all like
thorns
raked
aside
, for they
can
never
be
gathered
by hand .
As
to
the worthless --
As
a
thorn
driven
away
`
are '
all of
them
, For --
not
by hand are
they
taken;
The man who touches
them must
be
armed
with iron or
with
the shaft
of a spear .
The
fire burns
them
to
ashes
in the place
where
they
lie
. ”
And
the man who cometh
against
them Is
filled
with iron and
the staff
of a spear ,
And
with
fire they
are
utterly
burnt
In the cessation
. '
These are the names of David’s
mighty men
: Josheb-basshebeth
the Tahchemonite
was
chief
of the Three.
He wielded
his
spear
against eight hundred men,
whom
he
killed
at one time.
These `
are '
the names of the
mighty ones
whom
David
hath
: sitting
in
the seat
`is'
the
Tachmonite,
head
of the captains
--
he `is'
Adino,
who
hardened
himself
against eight hundred --
wounded
at one time.
Next
in
command
was
Eleazar son of Dodo the
Ahohite.
As
one
of the three mighty men ,
he
went
with David to
taunt
the Philistines who
had
gathered for
battle at
Pas-dammim.
The men of Israel retreated,
And
after
him
`is'
Eleazar son of Dodo ,
son
of Ahohi,
of
the three mighty men with David ;
in
their
exposing
themselves
among
the Philistines --
they
have
been
gathered there
to
battle ,
and
the men of Israel go
up
--
but
Eleazar
stood
his
ground
and struck
the Philistines until
his hand grew
weary and stuck
to
his sword.
The LORD
brought
about
a great victory
that day .
Then
the troops
returned
to
him ,
but
only to plunder
the
dead
.
he
hath
arisen,
and smiteth
among
the Philistines till
that
his hand hath
been
weary ,
and his hand
cleaveth
unto
the sword,
and
Jehovah
worketh
a great salvation
on
that day ,
and
the people
turn
back
after
him only to strip
off
.
And after him was
Shammah son of Agee the Hararite .
When
the Philistines had
banded
together
near
a field full of lentils
, Israel’s
troops
fled from them.
And after him `is'
Shammah son of Agee the Hararite ,
and
the Philistines are
gathered
into
a company,
and
there
is
there
a
portion
of
the
field full of lentiles
, and
the
people
hath
fled from the
presence
of
the
Philistines,
But
Shammah
took
his
stand
in the middle
of the field
, defended
it, and struck
down
the Philistines .
So
the
LORD
brought
about
a great victory
.
and
he
stationeth
himself
in the midst
of the portion
, and
delivereth
it, and smiteth
the Philistines ,
and
Jehovah
worketh
a great salvation
.
At
harvest
time,
three of the thirty chief
men
went
down to
David 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 and
come
unto
the
harvest,
unto
David ,
unto
the cave of Adullam, and
the
company of the
Philistines are
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 a
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 a drink of the
water of
the well of
Beth-Lehem,
which
`is'
by
the gate ?'
So
the three mighty men
broke
through the Philistine
camp, drew
water from
the well near
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 mighty ones
cleave
through the camp of
the
Philistines
, and
draw
water out
of
the well of
Beth-Lehem,
which
`is'
by
the gate, and take
`
it '
up,
and
bring
in
unto
David ;
and
he was
not
willing
to drink it, and
poureth
it out to Jehovah
,
saying
, “
Far be it from me, O LORD
, to do this !
Is this
not
the blood of the men who risked
their lives? ”
So
he refused
to drink it .
Such
were
the
exploits
of
the three mighty men
.
and
saith
, `
Far be it from me, O Jehovah
, to do this ;
is it
the blood of the men who are
going
with
their lives? '
and
he was
not
willing
to drink it ;
these
`things'
did
the three mighty ones
.
Now
Abishai ,
the
brother of Joab and
son of Zeruiah, 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 ,
son of Zeruiah, he
`is'
head
of three, and he is
lifting
up
his spear against three hundred --
wounded
, and he
hath
a name among
three.
Was
he not more
honored
than
the Three
? And he became
their commander,
even
though
he
was
not
included
among
the Three.
Of
the
three
is
he not the honoured
? and he 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.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son
of
a man of valour,
great
in
deeds
from Kabzeel )
, he hath
smitten
two lion-like
men
of Moab, and he hath
gone
down and smitten
the
lion in
the
midst
of
the
pit
in
a
day
of
snow
.
He also
killed
an
Egyptian, a huge
man .
Although
the Egyptian had
a spear 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
Egyptian man
, a man of
appearance,
and
in
the hand
of
the
Egyptian `is'
a spear, 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
three mighty.
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 he is
honoured,
and
unto
the three he
came
not;
and David setteth
him over his guard.
Now

were
members
of
the
Thirty:

brother of Joab ,
