2 Samuel 23

1 And these [are] [the] words of David last [the] utterance of David [the] son of Jesse and [the] utterance of the man [who] he was raised up height [the] [one] anointed of [the] God of Jacob and [the] pleasant [one] of [the] songs of Israel.

Hæc autem sunt verba David novissima. Dixit David filius Isai: Dixit vir, cui constitutum est de Christo Dei Iacob, egregius psaltes Israel:

2 [the] spirit of Yahweh he has spoken by me and speech his [is] on tongue my.

Spiritus Domini locutus est per me, et sermo eius per linguam meam.

3 He said [the] God of Israel to me he spoke [the] rock of Israel [one who] rules over humankind righteous [one who] rules [the] fear of God.

Dixit Deus Israel mihi, locutus est Fortis Israel, Dominator hominum, iustus dominator in timore Dei:

4 And like [the] light of morning [when] it dawns [the] sun morning not clouds from brightness from rain vegetation from [the] earth.

sicut lux auroræ, oriente sole, mane absque nubibus rutilat, et sicut pluviis germinat herba de terra.

5 For not thus [is] house? my with God for a covenant of perpetuity he has made to me arranged in everything and preserved for all salvation my and every desire for not will he make grow?

Nec tanta est domus mea apud Deum, ut pactum æternum iniret mecum firmum in omnibus atque munitum. Cuncta enim salus mea, et omnis voluntas: nec est quidquam ex ea quod non germinet.

6 And a worthless person [is] like thorn[s] [which is] chased away all of them for not in a hand people will take.

Prævaricatores autem quasi spinæ evellentur universi: quæ non tolluntur manibus.

7 And anyone [who] he will touch them he will arm himself iron and [the] wood of a spear and with fire certainly they will be burned at the dwelling.

Et si quis tangere voluerit eas, armabitur ferro et ligno lanceato, igneque succensæ comburentur, usque ad nihilum.

8 These [are] [the] names of the warriors who [belonged] to David Josheb-Basshebeth a Tahkemonite - [the] chief of the three he Adino (the Eznite *Q(K)*) on eight hundred [one] slain at a time (one. *Q(K)*)

Hæc nomina fortium David. Sedens in cathedra sapientissimus princeps inter tres, ipse est quasi tenerrimus ligni vermiculus, qui octingentos interfecit impetu uno.

9 (And [was] after him *Q(k)*) Eleazar [the] son of (Dodo *Q(K)*) [the] son of Ahoah among three (the warriors *Q(K)*) with David when defied they the Philistines [who] they were gathered there for battle and they went up [the] man of Israel.

Post hunc, Eleazar filius patrui eius Ahohites inter tres fortes, qui erant cum David quando exprobraverunt Philisthiim, et congregati sunt illuc in prælium.

10 He he arose and he struck down among the Philistines until - for it was weary hand his and it cleaved hand his to the sword and he did Yahweh a deliverance great on the day that and the people they returned after him only to strip.

Cumque ascendissent viri Israel, ipse stetit et percussit Philisthæos donec deficeret manus eius, et obrigesceret cum gladio: fecitque Dominus salutem magnam in die illa: et populus, qui fugerat, reversus est ad cæsorum spolia detrahenda.

11 And [was] after him Shamma [the] son of Agee [the] Hararite and they were gathered [the] Philistines to Lehi and it was there [the] portion of the field full of lentils and the people it fled from before [the] Philistines.

Et post hunc, Semma filius Age de Arari. Et congregati sunt Philisthiim in statione: erat quippe ibi ager lente plenus. Cumque fugisset populus a facie Philisthiim,

12 And he took his stand in [the] middle of the portion and he delivered it and he struck down [the] Philistines and he did Yahweh a deliverance great.

stetit ille in medio agri, et tuitus est eum, percussitque Philisthæos: et fecit Dominus salutem magnam.

13 And they went down (three *Q(K)*) from the thirty leader[s] and they came to [the] harvest to David to [the] cave of Adullam and a community of Philistines [was] encamped in [the] valley of [the] Rephaites.

Necnon et ante descenderant tres qui erant principes inter triginta, et venerant tempore messis ad David in speluncam Odollam: castra autem Philisthinorum erant posita in Valle gigantum.

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

Et David erat in præsidio: porro statio Philisthinorum tunc erat in Bethlehem.

15 And he desired David and he said who? will he give to drink me water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [is] at the gate.

Desideravit ergo David, et ait: O si quis mihi daret potum aquæ de cisterna, quæ est in Bethlehem iuxta portam!

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

Irruperunt ergo tres fortes castra Philisthinorum, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quæ erat iuxta portam, et attulerunt ad David: at ille noluit bibere, sed libavit eam Domino,

17 And he said far be it to me O Yahweh than to do I this [thing] ¿ [the] blood of the men who went with lives their and not he was willing to drink them these [things] they did [the] three the warriors.

dicens: Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne faciam hoc: num sanguinem hominum istorum, qui profecti sunt, et animarum periculum bibam? Noluit ergo bibere. Hæc fecerunt tres robustissimi.

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

Abisai quoque frater Ioab filius Sarviæ, princeps erat de tribus: ipse est qui levavit hastam suam contra trecentos, quos interfecit, nominatus in tribus,

19 More than the three ¿ for [was he] honored and he became to them a commander and to the three not he came.

et inter tres nobilior, eratque eorum princeps, sed usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.

20 And Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada [was] a son of a man (of strength *Q(K)*) great of deeds from Kabzeel he he struck down [the] two [the] lion-like men of Moab and he he went down and he struck down (the lion *Q(K)*) in [the] midst of the pit on [the] day of the snow.

Et Banaias filius Ioiadæ viri fortissimi, magnorum operum, de Cabseel: ipse percussit duos leones Moab, et ipse descendit, et percussit leonem in media cisterna in diebus nivis.

21 And he he struck down a man Egyptian (a man of *Q(K)*) appearance and [was] in [the] hand of the Egyptian a spear and he went down to him with the staff and he seized the spear from [the] hand of the Egyptian and he killed him with own spear his.

Ipse quoque interfecit virum Ægyptium, virum dignum spectaculo, habentem in manu hastam: itaque cum descendisset ad eum in virga, vi extorsit hastam de manu Ægyptii, et interfecit eum hasta sua.

22 These [things] he did Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada and [belonged] to him a name among three the warriors.

Hæc fecit Banaias filius Ioiadæ.

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

Et ipse nominatus inter tres robustos, qui erant inter triginta nobiliores: verumtamen usque ad tres non pervenerat: fecitque eum sibi David auricularium, a secreto.
