I Paralipomenon 11

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

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

2 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.

And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, you were he that led out and brought in Israel: and the LORD your God said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be ruler over my people Israel.

3 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.

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

And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

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

And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come here. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

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

And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

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

And David dwelled in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.

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

And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

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

So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.

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

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

And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.

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

And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

13 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.

He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

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

And they set themselves in the middle of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.

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

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

And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines’ garrison was then at Bethlehem.

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

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!

18 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,

And the three broke through the host 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 the LORD.

19 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.

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

And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.

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

Of the three, he was more honorable than the two; for he was their captain: however, he attained not to the first three.

22 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.

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 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.

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

These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighty men.

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

Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.
