1 Chronicles 11

1 And they gathered together all Israel to David Hebron towards saying here! [are] bone your and flesh your we.

Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.

2 Both yesterday as well as three days ago also when was Saul king you [were] the [one who] led out and the [one who] brought Israel and he said Yahweh God your to you you you will shepherd people my Israel and you you will be ruler over people my Israel.

In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Jehovah your God said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall rule over my people Israel.'"

3 And they came all [the] elders of Israel to the king Hebron towards and he made to them David a covenant at Hebron before Yahweh and they anointed David to king over Israel according to [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Samuel.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by Samuel.

4 And he went David and all Israel Jerusalem it [was] Jebus and [were] there the Jebusite[s] [the] inhabitants of the land.

David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

5 And they said [the] inhabitants of Jebus to David not you will enter here and he captured David [the] stronghold of Zion it [was] [the] city of David.

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.

6 And he had said David any [one who] strikes down a Jebusite at the first he will become a chief and a commander and he went up at the first Joab [the] son of Zeruiah and he became a chief.

David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

7 And he dwelt David in the fortress there-fore people called it [the] city of David.

David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.

8 And he built the city from round about from the Millo and to the surroundings and Joab he restored [the] remainder of the city.

He built the city all around, from the Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9 And he went David continuously and becoming great and Yahweh of hosts [was] with him.

David grew greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him.

10 And these [were] [the] chiefs of the mighty [men] who [belonged] to David who held strongly with him in kingdom his with all Israel to make king him according to [the] word of Yahweh on Israel.

Now these are the chief of the warriors whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.

11 And these [are] [the] number of the mighty [men] who [belonged] to David Jashobeam a son of a Hacmonite [was] [the] chief of (the officers *Q(K)*) he he wielded spear his on three hundred [one] slain at a time one.

This is the number of the warriors whom David had: Jeshbaal the son of Hachmoni, leader of the Three. And he wielded his spear against eight hundred and killed them at one time.

12 And after him Eleazar [the] son of Dodo the Ahohite he [was] among three the mighty [men].

After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the Three warriors.

13 He he was with David at Pas Dammim and the Philistines they were gathered there for battle and it was [the] portion of the field full barley and the people they fled from before [the] Philistines.

He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had retreated. He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword; and Jehovah worked a great victory that day. Then the people returned after him only to take spoil. And after him was Shamma the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together at Lehi, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

14 And they took their stand in [the] middle of the portion and they defended it and they struck down [the] Philistines and he delivered Yahweh a deliverance great.

But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Jehovah saved them by a great victory.

15 And they went down three of the thirty chief to the rock to David to [the] cave of Adullam and [the] camp of [the] Philistines [was] encamped in [the] valley of [the] Rephaites.

And three of the Thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were camped in the Valley of Rephaim.

16 And David then [was] in the stronghold and [the] garrison of [the] Philistines then [was] at Beth-lehem.

David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

17 (And he craved *Q(k)*) David and he said who? will he give to drink me water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [is] at the gate.

And David had a craving and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate."

18 And they broke through the three in [the] camp of [the] Philistines and they drew water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [was] at the gate and they carried [them] and they brought [them] to David and not he was willing David to drink them and he poured out them to Yahweh.

The Three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, 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 Jehovah,

19 And he said far be it to me from God my from doing this [thing] ¿ [the] blood of the men these will I drink by lives their for by lives their they brought them and not he was willing to drink them these [things] they did [the] three the mighty [men].

and said, "My God forbid it me, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?" For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The Three warriors did these things.

20 And Abishai [the] brother of Joab he he was [the] chief of the three and he he wielded spear his on three hundred [one] slain (and [belonged] to him *Q(K)*) a name with the three.

And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was leader of the Thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name beside the Three.

21 More than the three by twofold [he was] honored and he became of them a commander and to the three not he came.

He was the most illustrious of the Thirty, and he became their leader. However, he did not attain to the Three.

22 Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada [was] a son of a man of strength great of deeds from Kabzeel he he struck down two Ariel of Moab and he he went down and he struck down the lion in [the] midst of the pit on [the] day of the snow.

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, who performed great deeds. He killed the two of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

23 And he he struck down the man Egyptian a man of stature - five by the cubit and [was] in [the] hand of the Egyptian a spear like a beam of weavers and he went down to him with the club and he tore away the spear from [the] hand of the Egyptian and he killed him with own spear his.

He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, seven feet five inches tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

24 These [things] he did Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and [belonged] to him a name with three the mighty [men].

Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the Three warriors.

25 More than the thirty there he [was] honored he and to the three not he came and he appointed him David over bodyguard his.

Look, he was more honored than the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David set him over his guard.
