Chapter 11

¹ Then all Israel gathered themselves to David in Hebron, saying: We are thy bone, and thy flesh.
² Yesterday also, and the day before when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: for the Lord thy God said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt; be ruler over them.
³ So all the ancients of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before the Lord: and they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke in the hand of Samuel.
⁴ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land.
⁵ And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: Thou shalt not come in here. But David took the castle of Sion, which is the city of David.
⁶ And he said: Whosoever shall first strike the Jebusites, shall be the head and chief captain. And Joab the son of Sarvia went up first, and was made the general.
⁷ And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was called the city of David.
⁸ And he built the city round about from Mello all round, and Joab built the rest of the city.
⁹ And David went on growing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.
¹⁰ These are the chief of the valiant men of David, who helped him to be made king over all Israel, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.
¹¹ And this is the number of the heroes of David: Jesbaam the son of Hachamoni the chief among the thirty: he lifted up his spear against three hundred wounded by him at one time.
¹² And after him was Eleazar his uncle's son the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
¹³ He was with David in Phesdomim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place to battle: and the field of that country was full of barley, and the people fled from before the Philistines.
¹⁴ But these men stood in the midst of the field, and defended it: and they slew the Philistines, and the Lord gave a great deliverance to his people.
¹⁵ And three of the thirty captains went down to the rock, wherein David was, to the cave of Odollam, when the Philistines encamped in the valley of Raphaim.
¹⁶ And David was in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines in Bethlehem.
¹⁷ And David longed, and said: O that some man would give me water of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.
¹⁸ And these three broke through the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, which was in the gate, and brought it to David to drink: and he would not drink of it, but rather offered it to the Lord,
¹⁹ Saying: God forbid that I should do this in the sight of my God, and should drink the blood of these men: for with the danger of their lives they have brought me the water. And therefore he would not drink. These things did the three most valiant.
²⁰ And Abisai the brother of Joab, he was chief of three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,
²¹ And illustrious among the second three, and their captain: but yet he attained not to the first three.
²² Banaias the son of Joiada, a most valiant man, of Cabseel, who had done many acts: he slew the two ariels of Moab: and he went down, and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in the time of snow.
²³ And he slew an Egyptian, whose stature was of five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver's beam: and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked away the spear, that he held in his hand, and slew him with his own spear.
²⁴ These things did Banaias the son of Joiada, who was renowned among the three valiant ones,
²⁵ And the first among the thirty, but yet to the three he attained not: and David made him of his council.
²⁶ Moreover the most valiant men of the army, were Asahel brother of Joab, and Elchanan the son of his uncle of Bethlehem,

Chapter 11

¹ Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
² And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
³ Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
⁴ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
⁵ And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.
⁶ And David said, Whoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was chief.
⁷ And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it, The city of David.
⁸ And he built the city around, even from Millo around: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
⁹ So David became greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.
¹⁰ These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
¹¹ And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam a Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.
¹² And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
¹³ He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
¹⁴ And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.
¹⁵ Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
¹⁶ And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Beth-lehem.
¹⁷ And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, that is at the gate!
¹⁸ And the three broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,
¹⁹ And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
²⁰ And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.
²¹ Of the three, he was more honorable than the two; for he was their captain: but he attained not to the first three.
²² Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lion-like men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
²³ And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
²⁴ These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
²⁵ Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.

Chapter 11

¹ Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron, and said, Truly, we are your bone and your flesh.
² In the past, when Saul was king, it was you who went at the head of Israel when they went out or came in; and the Lord your God said to you, You are to be the keeper of my people Israel, and their ruler.
³ So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel, as the Lord had said by Samuel.
⁴ Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (which is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the people of the land, were there.
⁵ And the people of Jebus said to David, You will not come in here. But still, David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David.
⁶ And David said, The first to overcome the Jebusites will be chief and captain. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became chief.
⁷ And David took the strong tower for his living-place, so it was named the town of David.
⁸ And he took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo; and Joab put the rest of the town in order.
⁹ And David became greater and greater in power, because the Lord of armies was with him.
¹⁰ Now these are the chief of David's men of war who were his strong supporters in the kingdom, and, with all Israel, made him king, as the Lord had said about Israel.
¹¹ This is the list of David's men of war: Ishbaal, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the three: he put to death three hundred at one time with his spear.
¹² And after him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, who was one of the three great fighters.
¹³ He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines had come together for the fight, near a bit of land full of barley; and the people went in flight before the Philistines.
¹⁴ And he took up his position in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack, and overcame the Philistines; and the Lord gave a great salvation.
¹⁵ And three of the thirty went down to David, to the rock, into the strong place of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.
¹⁶ At that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
¹⁷ And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of the water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem by the doorway into the town!
¹⁸ So the three, forcing a way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David; but David would not take it, but made an offering of it, draining it out to the Lord,
¹⁹ Saying, By my God, far be it from me to do this! How may I take as drink the life-blood of these men who have put their lives in danger? so he did not take it. These things did the three great men of war.
²⁰ And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty, for he put to death three hundred with his spear, but he had not a name among the three.
²¹ Of the thirty, he was the noblest, and was made their captain, but he was not equal to the first three.
²² Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a fighting-man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death two young lions going into their secret place; and he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow.
²³ And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a very tall man about five cubits high, armed with a spear like a cloth-worker's rod; he went down to him with a stick, and pulling his spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
²⁴ These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
²⁵ He was honoured over the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three: and David put him over his servants.
