< 1 Chronicles 11 >

1 Then did all Israel gather themselves together to David, unto Hebron, saying, —Lo! thy bone and thy flesh, are we.

Congregatus est igitur omnis Israel ad David in Hebron, dicens: Os tuum sumus, et caro tua.

2 Moreover also, in time past even when Saul was king, thou, wast he that led out and brought in Israel, —and Yahweh thy God said unto thee, Thou, shalt shepherd my people Israel, Yea, thou, shalt be chief ruler, over my people Israel.

Heri quoque, et nudiustertius cum adhuc regnaret Saul, tu eras qui educebas, et introducebas Israel: tibi enim dixit Dominus Deus tuus: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris princeps super eum.

3 Thus came all the elders of Israel unto the king, to Hebron, and David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh, through Samuel.

Venerunt ergo omnes maiores natu Israel ad regem in Hebron, et iniit David cum eis foedus coram Domino: unxeruntque eum regem super Israel, iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu Samuel.

4 Then went David and all Israel to Jerusalem, the same, was Jebus, —where were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.

Abiit quoque David, et omnis Israel in Ierusalem. haec est Iebus, ubi erant Iebusaei habitatores terrae.

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said unto David, Thou shalt not come in hither, —But David captured the citadel of Zion, the same, is the city of David.

Dixeruntque qui habitabant in Iebus ad David: Non ingredieris huc. Porro David cepit arcem Sion, quae est Civitas David,

6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, first, shall become a chief, and a ruler, —So then Joab son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became a chief.

dixitque: Omnis qui percusserit Iebusaeum in primis, erit princeps et dux. Ascendit igitur primus Ioab filius Sarviae, et factus est princeps.

7 And David dwelt in the citadel, —for this cause, did they call it, The City of David.

Habitavit autem David in arce, et idcirco appellata est Civitas David.

8 And he built the city round about, from Millo even as far as the circuit, —but, Joab, suffered the remainder of the city to live.

Aedificavitque urbem in circuitu a Mello usque ad gyrum, Ioab autem reliqua urbis extruxit.

9 Thus did David wax greater and yet greater, —and, Yahweh of Hosts, was with him.

Proficiebatque David vadens et crescens, et Dominus exercituum erat cum eo.

10 Now, these, are the chiefs of the heroes, that pertained to David, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, —according to the word of Yahweh, concerning Israel.

Hi principes virorum fortium David, qui adiuverunt eum ut rex fieret super omnem Israel iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus est ad Israel.

11 And, this, is the number of the heroes who pertained to David, —Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty, the same, brandished his spear over three hundred—slain at one time.

Et iste numerus robustorum David: Iesbaam filius Hachamoni princeps inter triginta: iste levavit hastam suam super trecentos vulneratos una vice.

12 And, after him, was Eleazar son of Dodai, the Ahohite, —he, was among the three heroes;

Et post eum Eleazar filius patrui eius Ahohites, qui erat inter tres potentes.

13 he, was with David in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley, —and, the people, fled, from before the Philistines;

Iste fuit cum David in Phesdomim, quando Philisthiim congregati sunt ad locum illum in praelium: et erat ager regionis illius plenus hordeo, fugeratque populus a facie Philisthinorum.

14 so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.

Hi steterunt in medio agri, et defenderunt eum: cumque percussissent Philisthaeos, dedit Dominus salutem magnam populo suo.

15 And three of the thirty chiefs went down upon the rock, unto David, into the cave of Adullam, —a host of Philistines, being encamped in the vale of Rephaim.

Descenderunt autem tres de triginta principibus ad petram, in qua erat David, ad speluncam Odollam, quando Philisthiim fuerant castrametati in Valle raphaim.

16 Now, David, then was in the stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in Bethlehem.

Porro David erat in praesidio, et statio Philisthinorum in Bethlehem.

17 And David longed, and said—Who will give me to drink of the water, out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

Desideravit igitur David, et dixit: O si quis daret mihi aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quae est in porta.

18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh;

Tres ergo isti per media castra Philisthinorum perrexerunt, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quae erat in porta, et attulerunt ad David ut biberet: qui noluit, sed magis libavit illam Domino,

19 and said—Far be it from me, of my God, that I should do this! The blood of these men, shall I drink, with their lives? For, with their lives, have they brought it! So he would not drink it. These things, did the three heroes.

dicens: Absit ut in conspectu Dei mei hoc faciam, et sanguinem istorum virorum bibam: quia in periculo animarum suarum attulerunt mihi aquam. Et ob hanc causam noluit bibere. haec fecerunt tres robustissimi.

20 And, Abishai brother of Joab—he, was the chief of three, he, having brandished his spear against three hundred—who were slain, —and so, he, had a name among three.

Abisai quoque frater Ioab ipse erat princeps trium, et ipse levavit hastam suam contra trecentos vulneratos, et ipse erat inter tres nominatissimus,

21 Of the three in the second rank, was he honourable, therefore became he their captain, —though, unto the [first] three, did he not attain.

et inter tres secundus inclytus, et princeps eorum: verumtamen usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.

22 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, hero of many a deed, from Kabziel—he, smote the two [sons] of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, in time of snow;

Banaias filius Ioiadae viri robustissimi, qui multa opera perpetrarat, de Cabseel: ipse percussit duos ariel Moab: et ipse descendit, et interfecit leonem in media cisterna tempore nivis.

23 he, also smote an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear like a weaver’s beam, so he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his spear.

Et ipse percussit virum Aegyptium, cuius statura erat quinque cubitorum, et habebat lanceam ut liciatorium texentium: descendit igitur ad eum cum virga, et rapuit hastam, quam tenebat manu. et interfecit eum hasta sua.

24 These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.

Haec fecit Banaias filius Ioiadae, qui erat inter tres robustos nominatissimus,

25 Among the thirty, lo! honourable, was he, but, unto the [first] three, did he not attain, —howbeit David set him over his council.

inter triginta primus, verumtamen ad tres usque non pervenerat: posuit autem eum David ad auriculam suam.

26 Now, the heroes of the forces, were, —Asahel, brother of Joab, Elhanan, son of Dodo, of Bethlehem;

Porro fortissimi viri in exercitu, Asahel frater Ioab, et Elchanan filius patrui eius de Bethlehem,

27 Shammoth, the Harorite, Helez the Paltite;

Sammoth Arorites, Helles Pharonites,

28 Ira, son of Ikkesh, the Tekoite, Abiezer, the Anathothite;

Ira filius Acces Thecuites, Abiezer Anathothites,

29 Sibbecai, the Hushathite, Ilai, the Ahohite;

Sobbochai Husathites, Ilai Ahohites,
