1 דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים 11
| וַיִּקָּבְצ֧וּ כָֽל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל־דָּוִ֖יד חֶבְרֹ֣ונָה לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֛ה עַצְמְךָ֥ וּֽבְשָׂרְךָ֖ אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃ | 1 |
Then all of Israel was gathered to David at Hebron, saying: “We are your bone and your flesh.
| גַּם־תְּמֹ֣ול גַּם־שִׁלְשֹׁ֗ום גַּ֚ם בִּהְיֹ֣ות שָׁא֣וּל מֶ֔לֶךְ אַתָּ֛ה הַמֹּוצִ֥יא וְהַמֵּבִ֖יא אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֹּאמֶר֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֶ֜יךָ לְךָ֗ אַתָּ֨ה תִרְעֶ֤ה אֶת־עַמִּי֙ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאַתָּה֙ תִּהְיֶ֣ה נָגִ֔יד עַ֖ל עַמִּ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 2 |
Also, yesterday and the day before, when Saul still reigned, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. For the Lord your God said to you: ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over them.’”
| וַ֠יָּבֹאוּ כָּל־זִקְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל אֶל־הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ חֶבְרֹ֔ונָה וַיִּכְרֹת֩ לָהֶ֨ם דָּוִ֥יד בְּרִ֛ית בְּחֶבְרֹ֖ון לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּמְשְׁח֨וּ אֶת־דָּוִ֤יד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה בְּיַד־שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃ ס | 3 |
Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel went to the king at Hebron. And David formed a pact with them before the Lord. And they anointed him king over Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Samuel.
| וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ דָּוִ֧יד וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יְרוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם הִ֣יא יְב֑וּס וְשָׁם֙ הַיְבוּסִ֔י יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 4 |
Then David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem. The same is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.
| וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ יֹשְׁבֵ֤י יְבוּס֙ לְדָוִ֔יד לֹ֥א תָבֹ֖וא הֵ֑נָּה וַיִּלְכֹּ֤ד דָּוִיד֙ אֶת־מְצֻדַ֣ת צִיֹּ֔ון הִ֖יא עִ֥יר דָּוִֽיד׃ | 5 |
And those who were living in Jebus said to David: “You shall not enter here.” But David seized the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
| וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד כָּל־מַכֵּ֤ה יְבוּסִי֙ בָּרִ֣אשֹׁונָ֔ה יִהְיֶ֥ה לְרֹ֖אשׁ וּלְשָׂ֑ר וַיַּ֧עַל בָּרִאשֹׁונָ֛ה יֹואָ֥ב בֶּן־צְרוּיָ֖ה וַיְהִ֥י לְרֹֽאשׁ׃ | 6 |
And he said, “Whoever shall strike the Jebusites first, shall be ruler and commander.” And so Joab, the son of Zeruiah, ascended first, and he was made the leader.
| וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב דָּוִ֖יד בַּמְצָ֑ד עַל־כֵּ֥ן קָרְאוּ־לֹ֖ו עִ֥יר דָּוִֽיד׃ | 7 |
Then David lived in the stronghold, and for this reason it was called the City of David.
| וַיִּ֤בֶן הָעִיר֙ מִסָּבִ֔יב מִן־הַמִּלֹּ֖וא וְעַד־הַסָּבִ֑יב וְיֹואָ֕ב יְחַיֶּ֖ה אֶת־שְׁאָ֥ר הָעִֽיר׃ | 8 |
And he built up the city all around, from Millo even to every side. But Joab built the rest of the city.
| וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִ֖יד הָלֹ֣וךְ וְגָדֹ֑ול וַיהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֖ות עִמֹּֽו׃ פ | 9 |
And David continued advancing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.
| וְאֵ֨לֶּה רָאשֵׁ֤י הַגִּבֹּורִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְדָוִ֔יד הַמִּתְחַזְּקִ֨ים עִמֹּ֧ו בְמַלְכוּתֹ֛ו עִם־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְהַמְלִיכֹ֑ו כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס | 10 |
These are the leaders of the strong men of David, who assisted him, so that he would become king over all of Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.
| וְאֵ֛לֶּה מִסְפַּ֥ר הַגִּבֹּרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְדָוִ֑יד יָשָׁבְעָ֣ם בֶּן־חַכְמֹונִ֗י רֹ֚אשׁ הַשְּׁלֹושִׁים (הַשָּׁ֣לִישִׁ֔ים) הֽוּא־עֹורֵ֧ר אֶת־חֲנִיתֹ֛ו עַל־שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאֹ֥ות חָלָ֖ל בְּפַ֥עַם אֶחָֽת׃ | 11 |
And this is the number of the robust of David: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, leader among the thirty. He lifted up his spear over three hundred, who were wounded at one time.
| וְאַחֲרָ֛יו אֶלְעָזָ֥ר בֶּן־דֹּודֹ֖ו הָאֲחֹוחִ֑י ה֖וּא בִּשְׁלֹושָׁ֥ה הַגִּבֹּרִֽים׃ | 12 |
And after him, there was Eleazar, the son of his uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three powerful ones.
| הֽוּא־הָיָ֨ה עִם־דָּוִ֜יד בַּפַּ֣ס דַּמִּ֗ים וְהַפְּלִשְׁתִּים֙ נֶאֱסְפוּ־שָׁ֣ם לַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וַתְּהִ֛י חֶלְקַ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה מְלֵאָ֣ה שְׂעֹורִ֑ים וְהָעָ֥ם נָ֖סוּ מִפְּנֵ֥י פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ | 13 |
He was with David in Pasdammim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place for battle. Now the field of that region was full of barley, but the people had fled from the face of the Philistines.
| וַיִּֽתְיַצְּב֤וּ בְתֹוךְ־הַחֶלְקָה֙ וַיַּצִּיל֔וּהָ וַיַּכּ֖וּ אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַיֹּ֥ושַׁע יְהוָ֖ה תְּשׁוּעָ֥ה גְדֹולָֽה׃ | 14 |
These men stood in the midst of the field, and they defended it. And when they had struck down the Philistines, the Lord gave a great salvation to his people.
| וַיֵּרְד֡וּ שְֽׁלֹושָׁה֩ מִן־הַשְּׁלֹושִׁ֨ים רֹ֤אשׁ עַל־הַצֻּר֙ אֶל־דָּוִ֔יד אֶל־מְעָרַ֖ת עֲדֻלָּ֑ם וּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים חֹנָ֖ה בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃ | 15 |
Then three from the thirty leaders descended to the rock where David was, to the cave of Adullam, when the Philistines had made camp in the Valley of the Rephaim.
| וְדָוִ֖יד אָ֣ז בַּמְּצוּדָ֑ה וּנְצִ֣יב פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים אָ֖ז בְּבֵ֥ית לָֽחֶם׃ | 16 |
Now David was in a stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem.
| וַיִּתְאָו (וַיִּתְאָ֥יו) דָּוִ֖יד וַיֹּאמַ֑ר מִ֚י יַשְׁקֵ֣נִי מַ֔יִם מִבֹּ֥ור בֵּֽית־לֶ֖חֶם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּשָּֽׁעַר׃ | 17 |
And then David desired and said, “O if only someone would give me water from the well of Bethlehem, which is at the gate!”
| וַיִּבְקְע֨וּ הַשְּׁלֹשָׁ֜ה בְּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ־מַ֙יִם֙ מִבֹּ֤ור בֵּֽית־לֶ֙חֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּשַּׁ֔עַר וַיִּשְׂא֖וּ וַיָּבִ֣אוּ אֶל־דָּוִ֑יד וְלֹֽא־אָבָ֤ה דָוִיד֙ לִשְׁתֹּותָ֔ם וַיְנַסֵּ֥ךְ אֹתָ֖ם לַיהוָֽה׃ | 18 |
Therefore, these three broke through to the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem, which was at the gate. And they took it to David, so that he might drink. But he was not willing; and instead, he offered it as a libation to the Lord,
| וַיֹּ֡אמֶר חָלִילָה֩ לִּ֨י מֵאֱלֹהַ֜י מֵעֲשֹׂ֣ות זֹ֗את הֲדַ֣ם הָאֲנָשִׁים֩ הָאֵ֨לֶּה אֶשְׁתֶּ֤ה בְנַפְשֹׁותָם֙ כִּ֣י בְנַפְשֹׁותָ֣ם הֱבִיא֔וּם וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לִשְׁתֹּותָ֑ם אֵ֣לֶּה עָשׂ֔וּ שְׁלֹ֖שֶׁת הַגִּבֹּורִֽים׃ | 19 |
saying: “Far be it from me, that I would do this in the sight of my God, and that I would drink the blood of these men. For at the peril of their own lives, they brought the water to me.” And for this reason, he was not willing to drink. The three most powerful accomplished these things.
| וְאַבְשַׁ֣י אֲחִֽי־יֹואָ֗ב ה֚וּא הָיָה֙ רֹ֣אשׁ הַשְּׁלֹושָׁ֔ה וְהוּא֙ עֹורֵ֣ר אֶת־חֲנִיתֹ֔ו עַל־שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵאֹ֖ות חָלָ֑ל וְלֹא־ (וְלֹו)־שֵׁ֖ם בַּשְּׁלֹושָֽׁה׃ | 20 |
Also, Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, who were wounded. And he was most renowned among the three,
| מִן־הַשְּׁלֹושָׁ֤ה בַשְּׁנַ֙יִם֙ נִכְבָּ֔ד וַיְהִ֥י לָהֶ֖ם לְשָׂ֑ר וְעַד־הַשְּׁלֹושָׁ֖ה לֹֽא־בָֽא׃ ס | 21 |
and he was famous among the second three and their leader. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the first three.
| בְּנָיָ֨ה בֶן־יְהֹויָדָ֧ע בֶּן־אִֽישׁ־חַ֛יִל רַב־פְּעָלִ֖ים מִֽן־קַבְצְאֵ֑ל ה֣וּא הִכָּ֗ה אֵ֣ת שְׁנֵ֤י אֲרִיאֵל֙ מֹואָ֔ב וְ֠הוּא יָרַ֞ד וְהִכָּ֧ה אֶֽת־הָאֲרִ֛י בְּתֹ֥וךְ הַבֹּ֖ור בְּיֹ֥ום הַשָּֽׁלֶג׃ | 22 |
Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel, was a very mature man, who had accomplished many deeds. He struck down the two lions of God from Moab. And he descended and killed a lion in the middle of a pit, in the time of snow.
| וְהֽוּא־הִכָּה֩ אֶת־הָאִ֨ישׁ הַמִּצְרִ֜י אִ֥ישׁ מִדָּ֣ה ׀ חָמֵ֣שׁ בָּאַמָּ֗ה וּבְיַ֨ד הַמִּצְרִ֤י חֲנִית֙ כִּמְנֹ֣ור אֹרְגִ֔ים וַיֵּ֥רֶד אֵלָ֖יו בַּשָּׁ֑בֶט וַיִּגְזֹ֤ל אֶֽת־הַחֲנִית֙ מִיַּ֣ד הַמִּצְרִ֔י וַיַּהַרְגֵ֖הוּ בַּחֲנִיתֹֽו׃ | 23 |
And he struck down an Egyptian man, whose stature was five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam. And yet he descended to him with a staff. And he seized the spear that he was holding in his hand. And he killed him with his own spear.
| אֵ֣לֶּה עָשָׂ֔ה בְּנָיָ֖הוּ בֶּן־יְהֹויָדָ֑ע וְלֹו־שֵׁ֖ם בִּשְׁלֹושָׁ֥ה הַגִּבֹּרִֽים׃ | 24 |
These things were done by Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who was most renowned among the three robust ones,
| מִן־הַשְּׁלֹושִׁ֗ים הִנֹּ֤ו נִכְבָּד֙ ה֔וּא וְאֶל־הַשְּׁלֹושָׁ֖ה לֹא־בָ֑א וַיְשִׂימֵ֥הוּ דָוִ֖יד עַל־מִשְׁמַעְתֹּֽו׃ ס | 25 |
the first among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the three. Then David placed him beside his ear.
| וְגִבֹּורֵ֖י הַחֲיָלִ֑ים עֲשָׂה־אֵל֙ אֲחִ֣י יֹואָ֔ב אֶלְחָנָ֥ן בֶּן־דֹּודֹ֖ו מִבֵּ֥ית לָֽחֶם׃ ס | 26 |
