Then all H3605 Israel H3478 gathered themselves H6908 to H413 David H1732 unto Hebron, H2275 saying, H559 Behold, H2009 we H587 [are] thy bone H6106 and thy flesh. H1320
And moreover H1571 in time past H8543 H1571, H8032 even H1571 when Saul H7586 was H1961 king, H4428 thou H859 [wast] he that leddest out H3318 and broughtest in Israel: H3478 and the LORD H3068 thy God H430 said H559 unto thee, Thou H859 shalt feed my people Israel, H3478 and thou H859 shalt be H1961 ruler H5057 over H5921 my people H5971 Israel. H3478
Therefore came H935 all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 to H413 the king H4428 to Hebron; H2275 and David H1732 made H3772 a covenant H1285 with them in Hebron H2275 before H6440 the LORD; H3068 and they anointed H4886 H853 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by H3027 Samuel. H8050
And David H1732 and all H3605 Israel H3478 went H1980 to Jerusalem, H3389 which H1931 [is] Jebus; H2982 where H8033 the Jebusites H2983 [were] , the inhabitants H3427 of the land. H776
And the inhabitants H3427 of Jebus H2982 said H559 to David, H1732 Thou shalt not H3808 come H935 hither. H2008 Nevertheless David H1732 took H3920 H853 the castle H4686 of Zion, H6726 which H1931 [is] the city H5892 of David. H1732
And David H1732 said, H559 Whosoever H3605 smiteth H5221 the Jebusites H2983 first H7223 shall be H1961 chief H7218 and captain. H8269 So Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 went first up H5927 H7223 , and was H1961 chief. H7218
And he built H1129 the city H5892 round about H4480 H5439 , even from H4480 Millo H4407 round about: H5439 and Joab H3097 repaired H2421 H853 the rest H7605 of the city. H5892
These H428 also [are] the chief H7218 of the mighty men H1368 whom H834 David H1732 had , who strengthened themselves H2388 with H5973 him in his kingdom, H4438 [and] with H5973 all H3605 Israel, H3478 to make him king, H4427 according to the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 concerning H5921 Israel. H3478
And this H428 [is] the number H4557 of the mighty men H1368 whom H834 David H1732 had; Jashobeam, H3434 a Hachmonite H1121 H2453 , the chief H7218 of the captains: H7991 he H1931 lifted up H5782 H853 his spear H2595 against H5921 three H7969 hundred H3967 slain H2491 [by] [him] at one H259 time. H6471
He H1931 was H1961 with H5973 David H1732 at Pas- H6450 dammim , and there H8033 the Philistines H6430 were gathered together H622 to battle, H4421 where was H1961 a parcel H2513 of ground H7704 full H4392 of barley; H8184 and the people H5971 fled H5127 from before H4480 H6440 the Philistines. H6430
And they set themselves H3320 in the midst H8432 of [that] parcel, H2513 and delivered H5337 it , and slew H5221 H853 the Philistines; H6430 and the LORD H3068 saved H3467 [them] by a great H1419 deliverance. H8668
Now three H7969 of H4480 the thirty H7970 captains H7218 went down H3381 to H5921 the rock H6697 to H413 David, H1732 into H413 the cave H4631 of Adullam; H5725 and the host H4264 of the Philistines H6430 encamped H2583 in the valley H6010 of Rephaim. H7497
And David H1732 longed, H183 and said, H559 Oh that H4310 one would give me drink H8248 of the water H4325 of the well H4480 H953 of Bethlehem, H1035 that H834 [is] at the gate H8179 !
And the three H7969 broke through H1234 the host H4264 of the Philistines, H6430 and drew H7579 water H4325 out of the well H4480 H953 of Bethlehem, H1035 that H834 [was] by the gate, H8179 and took H5375 [it] , and brought H935 [it] to H413 David: H1732 but David H1732 would H14 not H3808 drink H8354 [of] it , but poured it out H5258 H853 to the LORD, H3068
And said, H559 My God H4480 H430 forbid it H2486 me , that I should do H4480 H6213 this thing: H2063 shall I drink H8354 the blood H1818 of these H428 men H376 that have put their lives H5315 in jeopardy? for H3588 with [the] [jeopardy] [of] their lives H5315 they brought H935 it . Therefore he would H14 not H3808 drink H8354 it . These things H428 did H6213 these three H7969 mightiest. H1368
And Abishai H52 the brother H251 of Joab, H3097 he H1931 was H1961 chief H7218 of the three: H7969 for lifting up H5782 H853 his spear H2595 against H5921 three H7969 hundred, H3967 he H1931 slew H2491 [them] , and had a name H8034 among the three. H7969
Of H4480 the three, H7969 he was more honorable H3513 than the two; H8147 for he was H1961 their captain: H8269 howbeit he attained H935 not H3808 to H5704 the [first] three. H7969
Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada, H3111 the son H1121 of a valiant H2428 man H376 of H4480 Kabzeel, H6909 who had done many H7227 acts; H6467 he H1931 slew H5221 H853 two H8147 lionlike men H739 of Moab: H4124 also he H1931 went down H3381 and slew H5221 H853 a lion H738 in H8432 a pit H953 in a snowy H7950 day. H3117
And he H1931 slew an Egyptian H376 , H4713 a man H376 of [great] stature, H4060 five H2568 cubits H520 high ; and in the Egyptian's H4713 hand H3027 [was] a spear H2595 like a weaver's H707 beam; H4500 and he went down H3381 to H413 him with a staff, H7626 and plucked the spear H2595 out of the Egyptian's hand H4480 H3027, H4713 and slew H2026 him with his own spear. H2595
Behold H2009 , he H1931 was honorable H3513 among H4480 the thirty, H7970 but attained H935 not H3808 to H413 the [first] three: H7969 and David H1732 set H7760 him over H5921 his guard. H4928
Also the valiant men H1368 of the armies H2428 [were] , Asahel H6214 the brother H251 of Joab, H3097 Elhanan H445 the son H1121 of Dodo H1734 of Bethlehem H4480 H1035 ,
Ithai H863 the son H1121 of Ribai H7380 of Gibeah H4480 H1390 , [that] [pertained] to the children H1121 of Benjamin, H1144 Benaiah H1141 the Pirathonite, H6553
